Pebbles in a stream

Offering- Arpan

I offer Thee a seat, wash Thy feet Chandan (sandal paste), kumkum recognizing Thy Divinity, I chant and pray offering flowers at Thy feet An external devotion visible to the eye Judged and commented by others Yet there is unhappiness, a feeling of being incomplete The awareness of ignorance and prejudice within un-adressed A knowledge that whatever that could be offered by me as mine into you're feet is already Thine Today I offer Thee what is truly mine My thoughts good, bad, fowl, pleasant My emotions, my disturbances, my sorrow,my anger for these are truly mine aware only to Thee Hence worthy to be offered to Thee for worship For now I pray to give me the knowledge, the patience, the forbearance, the understanding and acceptance That all that is going within the mind is a product of my own doing and that I truly deserve such a situation And all that I offer to you that is good is You're own doing in Thy Infinite Kindness While i offer to Thee all the blessed ...

Him I try to reach He keeps moving further away Him I search in places And He is missing when I reach there Him I try to see with the fleshy eyes Him I dream to hold to do my whimsical. ..

Can I wake up in thy arms

Image
Can I wake up in thy arms Will I see the deep blue oceans In thy gaze The ever expansive skies In you're love for me The fresh streams giving life In thy tears of joy The light kisses of the breeze As our lips lock The first warmth of the morning sun In making love to you Can I ever compare the richness of nature In our mortal love Can I search for the meaning of  infinite In our relationship Can this journey of togetherness Give meaning to life I drop this search I give up this restraint For our love needs no meaning I am Vishnu and you Lakshmi I am Shiva and you Shakthi I am Brahma and you Saraswati We are one not two We are A-dwaita Now tell me Can I wake up in thy arms Om Tat Sat

Veil

does He walk into my world as a child does He slip into my life as a friend does He test me as a foe does He just stand passively as a stranger Whom do i ask these questions Oh Lord.. .You are the babe,  the friend, the foe or any form of life Why then this agony my Lord Show me the way For i Cannot be but You and You me i am Thy reflection an apparition a blip in Your Dream Oh Lord, shed this veil.. .I seek Thee Om Tat Sat

Being ... just being

When words fail When words dont come When words lose their meaning When words just fall short When life suddenly is just a moment When that thought just doesnt make sense When the mind is full and the brain doesnt connect When the heart just doesnt slow When that feeling within just doesnt make sense That sense of being Divine yet alive to the pains of life That sense where the world is just a dream yet being deep in the problems of the past That sense where the Gods are just good friends yet the devil stares back saying am still around That sense when being alive itself is a gift A sense of being closest to infinity I am that...

He who binds to himself a joy Doth the wine life destroy But he who kisses the Joy as it flies Lives in Eternity`s sunrise

Looking for the Gifts

Look for the gifts in everything, especially when you are facing what appears to be a negative situation. Everything that we attract causes us to grow, which means that ultimately everything is for our own good. Adjusting to a new path and a new direction will require new qualities and strengths, and these qualities are always exactly what we need to acquire in order to accomplish the great things ahead in our life. Rhonda Byrne - Author of The Secret

Destiny

You are what your deep driving desire is. As its your desire so is your will.  as is your will so is your act.  As is your act so is your destiny Kathopanishad

Life its meant to be a flow; every flow is meant to be uneven and therein lies the capacity to make progress Subroto Bagchi

Thought

What we seek as our highest goal depends upon what we believe ourselves to be - Sri Ramanuja All that we are is tree result of what we have thought - Buddha When we believe we are the mind, no matter what we are doing, part of the mind cannot help but chew over the same problems over and over.  - Eknath Easwaran

My first meaningful gratitude

Only in adversity do we realize that nothing we try works as effectively and efficiently when things are good. In such situations alone, when the whole  world seems so hopeless, that we appreciate better the sun's heat, the soft kisses of the breeze, the innocent  meaningless laughter of the children, the green plants, the untiring ant and the whole world as it is. Our success and failure merge into an imagined world and the beauty that the world really is comes fully alive in our minds Oh Lord God ! Thank you for adversity. ...

Vichaara-saadhana

Swami Bhoomananda Tirtha Question: Swamiji , you said that developing the right attitude should be the technique for eliminating passion and prejudice when executing our actions. However, many a time, emotions seem to overcome us and we act upon them. At times, it seems as though we are helpless! How can we avoid this? Poojya Swamiji: Both attitude and aim are something you have to decide upon and grow in your mind fondly, judiciously. This itself is an introspectional process, vichaara-saadhana. Understand how vichaara becomes saadhana. Vichaara is a process of inner churning. Think and reflect: "What is life, and what are its aims? What is an activity, and how does it relate to life?" Pursue vichaara until you become clear. Once the answer or outcome gets infused into the mind, it will irresistibly govern all actions that you perform. Culture of any attitude is just like culture of truth, truthfulness. Vichaara is itself a pursuit, by which the mind changes drastically....

Thoughts

I do not have anything to write now I can't even find the thoughts within The words that I know make no sense For eternity cannot rest is words

Varuvaay - You shall come

Do I see you as a man Or the mountain in the north Or do I pray to you as the life That is the visible world Do I hold you as the thoughts divine or do I see you in the elements that make up this world Or is it just a small symbol Do I feel you in the senses That make up my human input Or do I pray to you as the consciousness  within That rests not even if the mindas disappears in sleep Or do I just pray to you as the One in deep mediation with Shakthi by Your side Or do I see you as One seated on a bull With the hosts of demons by Your side Show me Thy form For I am mad in this state Dance Oh Lord on this form of mine Let me see Thy dance from below Thy feet! Oh Shiva! Oh Shankara! Oh Nataraja! I am... Om Tat Sat
