How Can 12 Laws Of Karma Change Your Life - Lesson of Time - KarmaKarma is the Sanskrit word for action. It is equivalent to Newton’s law of ‘every action must have a reaction’. When we think, speak or act we initiate a force that will react accordingly. This returning force maybe modified, changed or suspended, but most people will not be able eradicate it.

How Can 12 Laws Of Karma Change Your Life

This law of cause and effect is not a punishment, but is wholly for the sake of education or learning.

A person may not escape the consequences of his actions, but he will suffer only if he himself has made the conditions ripe for his suffering. Ignorance of the law is no excuse whether the laws are man-made or universal.

To stop being afraid and to start being empowered in the worlds of karma and reincarnation, here is what you need to know about karmic laws.
1. THE GREAT LAW

– “As you sow, so shall you reap”. This is also known as the “Law of Cause and Effect”.

– Whatever we put out in the Universe is what comes back to us.

– If what we want is Happiness, Peace, Love, Friendship… Then we should BE Happy, Peaceful, Loving and a True Friend.

2. THE LAW OF CREATION

– Life doesn’t just HAPPEN, it requires our participation.

– We are one with the Universe, both inside and out. – Whatever surrounds us gives us clues to our inner state.

– BE yourself, and surround yourself with what you want to have present in your Life.

3. THE LAW OF HUMILITY

– What you refuse to accept, will continue for you.

– If what we see is an enemy, or someone with a character trait that we find to be negative, then we ourselves are not focused on a higher level of existence.

4. THE LAW OF GROWTH

– “Wherever you go, there you are”.

– For us to GROW in Spirit, it is we who must change – and not the people, places or things around us.

– The only given we have in our lives is OURSELVES and that is the only factor we have control over.

– When we change who and what we are within our heart our life follows suit and changes too. THE

5. LAW OF RESPONSIBILITY

– Whenever there is something wrong in my life, there is something wrong in me.

– We mirror what surrounds us – and what surrounds us mirrors us; this is a Universal Truth.

– We must take responsibility what is in our life.

6. THE LAW OF CONNECTION

– Even if something we do seems inconsequential, it is very important that it gets done as everything in the Universe is connected.

– Each step leads to the next step, and so forth and so on.

– Someone must do the initial work to get a job done.

– Neither the first step nor the last are of greater significance,

– As they were both needed to accomplish the task.

– Past-Present-Future they are all connected…

7. THE LAW OF FOCUS

– You can not think of two things at the same time.

– When our focus is on Spiritual Values, it is impossible for us to have lower thoughts such as greed or anger.

8. THE LAW OF GIVING AND HOSPITALITY

– If you believe something to be true,then sometime in your life you will be called upon to demonstrate that particular truth.

– Here is where we put what we CLAIM that we have learned, into actual PRACTICE.

9. THE LAW OF HERE AND NOW

– Looking backward to examine what was, prevents us from being totally in the HERE AND NOW.

– Old thoughts, old patterns of behavior, old dreams…

– Prevent us from having new ones.

10. THE LAW OF CHANGE

– History repeats itself until we learn the lessons that we need to change our path.

11. THE LAW OF PATIENCE AND REWARD

– All Rewards require initial toil.

– Rewards of lasting value require patient and persistent toil.

– True joy follows doing what we’re suppose to be doing, and waiting for the reward to come in on its own time.

12. THE LAW OF SIGNIFICANCE AND INSPIRATION

– You get back from something whatever YOU have put into it.

– The true value of something is a direct result of the energy and intent that is put into it.

– Every personal contribution is also a contribution to the Whole.

– Lack luster contributions have no impact on the Whole, nor do they work to diminish it.

– Loving contributions bring life to, and inspire, the Whole.

Separation (Viraha) and its manifestaions

Devi Meera's whole life was a reflection of this separation with her beloved Krishna. Her life was an expression of this pain of separation or viraha. Not only this, until her final union and dissolution in the divine form of Sri Krishna, her Giridhar Nagar, she had experienced all the stages of love and separation, description of this can be found in her poetry.

The foundation of love is separation. Love without separation is meaningless like body without life. Only in separation can we really experience live in its true form.
Separation has been said to be of three types: future separation, present separation and past separation.
1. That beloved will leave in the future, this results in pain - is 'future separation'. In union, there is always anxiousness due to the ever impending departure of the beloved. As the time passes by, the anxiety intensifies making one restless.
2. We experience heart rending pain  when the beloved leaves - this is called 'present separation'. When the beloved is with you there is supreme bliss, the time flies by. But alas! the days of togetherness are soon over! The world ceases to exist in the presence of beloved, and today, he is ready to leave. One has given everything and even oneself away to the beloved and now the beloved is going away. The eyes will no longer see the divine countenance. Ah!! What will happen now? Such thoughts trouble the mind and every pore of the being cries out. The heart is torn in thousand pieces or, the heart is broken in two parts and one part is bring taken away! This pining gets unbearable with every passing moment.
3. When the beloved has long gone, the pain that results thereby- is 'past separation'.  Two persons bound by love remain united by this bond however distant they might be from each other. This bond of love become s immortal. In separation, the dear memories of beloved sustains love. But these memories sometimes become so potent that one cannot be at peace without seeing the beloved. One loses patience but even in this state of hopelessness, the liver never loses hope that the beloved will surely come back sooner or later. One desires a brief glimpse from far, if only. In such state, one feels neither alive nor dead. This pining and longing gives rise to several mental and behavioral states.

There are said to be ten such states.  These are:

चिन्तात्र जागरोद्वेगो तानवं मलिनाग्ता ।
प्रलापो व्याधिरून्मादो मोहो मृत्युर्दशा दश ।।

1. Worry  2. Sleeplessness  3. Anxiety 4. Loss of appetite  5. Lack of interest in dressing up. 6. Crying 7. General malaise 8. Laziness. 9. Losing consciousness 10. Death

Meerabai'so poetry contains a depiction of all these mental states.

Unresolved

The Ego stands bruised
Hurt and in agony
The identity questioned
And pushed aside for violation

Why this hurt ..
Why this balance of thought

Who are you
My name
Where are you from
Here
Where
Here

What a conversation
Yet there is this hurt
A yearning to see
Or a loss of recognition to pass unquestioned

Softly i cry inside
Not knowing how to resolve

Wait ..how could You do this
Your devotee ..You ..Me

I will never come here until You call me
You bring me here and i will see You
How could You do this

Still the hurt continues .. unresolved
Is it me holding back or is it You softly crying within

What can You do
You are stuck within
Locked in stone

While i... change
What haughtiness

Still stuck in thought ...
Unresolved

The Ego exists and raising its fangs when hurt

Death and silence

There is a certain gloominess. ..an event normally gets me thinking but this simply paused everything ..a certain stillness fills the air

My neighbours brother passed away in the recent train accident ...

I won't see him again ...I remember him as keeping his car absolutely clean coming over from Bangalore with 2 kids ...

Calling it fate doesn't help ...neither does it make sense to blame anyone ...everything just hangs and in the silence the earth holds another child in her arms and the family stares into a future they don't want to be in without that child

There are no explanations ..no words of comfort ...nothing material ..nothing spiritual even ..just the reality of life and it's uncertainty

we just move on ...I move on ..I explain people who ask me whether the job I offer will be permanent and I've always replied that my waking up the next day isn't in my hands how can something I offer be permanent?

Here it is ..

I've always believed that the difficulty and beauty of Vedanta is in accepting this reality and embracing life ..overcoming the instincts by empathy

But the silence of the moment is more meaningful than breaking it using the noise of  words

Way of life

"People keep saying Hinduism is not a religion. It's a way of life . How can a way of life not remain a religion ? Every culture wants to define and structure social living .How can any religion not be a way of life .Christianity is a way of life so is Islam . Religion defines living "

there is this invisible force of pooling in resources for this program which is either fear , taxes or God. .. People get 'educated ' into a mould where behaviour is termed normal

Soul is different subject altogether. To me its an emotional sink until the thought process is isolated and Dumbledore's pensieve is used to look at it closely for study with the 'fine text ' from the philosophies of the religions

The life of Jesus or Ram would adapt and question today's so called religious structures and use the medium of communication better

It is important to note that any great 'Divine ' life was both a political and religious icon of the times. ... they were deified to bring in a certain control and repeatability or system into a naturally chaotic world order

The Ego is included

Sum total of all results seem 0 from the perspective of life and goals and Infinite from the stand point of existence simply because all of existence + that which exists + that which imagines all of Existence  (ego) in consciousness can only be Infinite

All this is just a quarter of Him/Her/It and if measured is more than anything that can be measured ... from my little understanding of Purushasuktham

I am ...

Rambling again ...

Some how I've been happy and convinced that the 'universe' (I like multi verse better ) itself is just consciousness and the whole is witnessing through individual sheaths as beings - insects animals humans viruses even fetuses. ...time itself is in question as our '100' year life is too big from animal stand point and just ok for other creatures ...what to talk about the fetus

But from a parent of the fetus the memory of losing the life would take a much of the lifetime to heal ...so who knows what the fetus even experienced
It's the mind and memory alone which brings meaning to abstract sounds as words and 'eternal unblemished' decorated space as 'worlds'

Maybe it was for experiencing maybe for witnessing maybe it's just a memory ...another electrical pulse ..imagination ..maaya

I am...

Ramblings

I love the matrix theory  ...only there isn't a 'real' world that you could get to if you unplug ..

Also ; You could always choose the other pill and believe what you want

Infinite is something imaginary as what we believe when we use the word 'infinite ' is based on an imagined idea of beyond

The super soul or many souls or whatever we call it is included in that concept of infinite including the individual 'i' me who is referring to it ....

So numbers increasing or decreasing doesn't matter to infinity

Purushasuktham states that what we know is not even a quarter of what is and what is , is  10 steps more than that

So any amount of parallels is only a point of reference to ones understanding with respect to Infinity

Now the one soul many soul discussion is based on local reality with respect to the body and the 'known' world and is infinitesimally small as far as the Infinite is concerned

Now super soul = Super Consciousness = Infinte

But that is imaginary as I cannot 'know ' the Infinite

But ...The Infinite has to include me the infinitesimally small jiva = soul else 'IT' (unfortunately ) cannot be Infinite

So i  am part of the Infinite = my consciousness is part of the Infinite = I am the Infinite

Aham Brahmasmi

I am...

Magic - The Love Divine

Words are such a powerful medium they stretch the horizons of imagination.

Fear contracts the known and expands the unknown into a void. Space loses meaning as the 'fear' emotion fills this void. It distinguishes known from unknown and creates such a force within to ensure control so as to bring about a certain predictability to circumstances. The unknown is feared greater still and this void is replaced with belief where predictability and comfort is at its best and this 'state' is christened Heaven.

Working backwards the predictability is pushed into rituals and religion is framed to work the mind into accepting patterns and shunning anything that hints towards unpredictability.

Words. ...words ...those magical sounds that is filled with choicest meanings so as to let the mind unravel the frontiers of imagination to include the void with a presence. A presence christened - 'Love'.

Love is as usual a misunderstood word. Love given is much more meaningful than love received. Love given is duty for the unknown can be included only with Love.

Fear can be replaced only with Love and Love calls for empathy, an embrace of acceptance as is. This calls for understanding which forces one to observe and listen to this void, this source of fear.

Words. ..magical sounds of power. They can control, let go or simply clear the air by bringing a sense of acceptance and adaptivity. Maybe that is why we seek pride from our mother tongue for it gives us comfort ensures predictability yet we limit ourselves within this framework of culture surrounding language.

What is more than language is Love for it is a deeper Truth not merely sounds.

Yet words reveal Love. ..rather Love expresses itself through one medium called the word. Maybe that is why every religion celebrate the spoken word.

Love expresses itself not only through words but also the other mediums like sight, touch, satisfying hunger, sleep etc.

But these words are magical as they enable our unknown into the known space; by allowing us to include that which is not yet even 'seen' ;understood; or yet controlled. Love gives that freedom to let go and just be, that the unknown is simply treated as known and worked with- only when necessary. Imaginative, yet acceptable, for fear - creates pangs of emotion for control and establishment of predictability; that Love circumvents and 'let be'; as though by throwing a lair of magical veil over the unknown and treat it as though Divine; purposeful even yet Unknown.

Magic. ..These words. ..

They spread Love; for suddenly every thought is free, accepted, un-judged and even worthy of exploration. The sudden inclusion of the unknown into the Divine brings about a certain sanctity to study and to know. Love becomes the ability to Live and Life itself is suddenly Divine.

Control is thrown out and predictability becomes an excuse to avoid fear.

Words extend every single progressing moment into exploration of the Unknown as the Divine. Divinity take shape as situations places people things. Every single entity merges into an expression of the Divine as we embrace this Unknown and replace the 'fear void' into the 'Love Divine'

Magic

It has been sometime since I've written the flow of thoughts. I have been recently prodded by Dr.P and Dumbledore (J.K.Rowling) with the touch of Divinity from my Gurus Swami Dayananda Saraswati and Swami Paramaarthaananda Saraswati 

i am I

While the search continues
In events and expectations
Strengthening beliefs and weakening a few
The search for that entity
Is most feverish when
The result is one between
Life and Death

It is not always
That Death looms
The organism wilts
And the desires die midway
But then life goes on
For some more time
With Death not hurrying  beside
Yet holding on the slippage if time 

Come what may in my search
For that One Truth in my greed 
Power control and wealth
Sought in the name of God
Are poured upon volumes
As the world's history
My search though had knocked upon
Wise ones with beards and a few without
Yet life points only in one direction
Which I've failed to look at all along

While breath that falls up and down
And the body seems to dance 
The mind for that moment stays
Within the skin of who I claim I am
That burst of life that expands as I inhale
That shot of energy that pours out after 

That which I sought plays the dance 
On that which I thought I am
That a truth of existence constantly
Buzzes in who I imagine I am
For those few moments my mind vanishes into smoke 
While i merge into that Infinite I
That lives this eternity

That which i sought is me

Children playing in the mind

Children make the world an exciting place to be ... logic and repetition is replaced with exotic sounds, random limb movements and facial expressions so vivid that for those moments time seems to stand still as past  and future merge into the here and now

And then the brain chugs for a few seconds filling in the train as choo choo, birds tweet tweet, cars honk honk ..so on

Until the fear of instability cranks the engine into a statistical nightmare of supposedly useful information and led screens blinks with messages

Reality... it seems is divided into moments of the present and desires for a future of peace and tranquility, wealth and power. The powers of imagination vs sheer innocence

Snap....

Way of the Boddhisattva

May I be a guard for those who are protectorless,
A guide for those who journey on the road;
For those who wish to go across the water,
May I be a boat, a raft, a bridge.

May I be an isle for those who yearn for landfall,
And a lamp for those who long for light;
For those who need a resting place, a bed,
For all who need a servant, may I be a slave.

May I be the wishing jewel, the vase of plenty,
A word of power, and the supreme remedy.
May I be the trees of miracles,
And for every being, the abundant cow.

Like the great earth and the other elements,
Enduring as the sky itself endures,
For the boundless multitude of living beings,
May I be the ground and vessel of their life.

Thus, for every single thing that lives,
In number like the boundless reaches of the sky,
May I be their sustenance and nourishment
Until they pass beyond the bounds of suffering.

~ Shantideva

Words are magical

You are the essential Truth that you seek. You are the goal. Tat Twam Asi

There are no steps in the way. For our understanding we imagine steps. There is only unfolding.

Granthis are knots in understanding. As these knots are removed clarity in thought emerges.

....

You can only go with flow

Its def comforting to imagine that you could have a plan but truth is even a dogs behaviour or the ruffle of leaves speak volumes to the heart in search of Truth

Blessed Mind

Long have I cursed my mind
The tumultuous flow of thoughts
The deep longings for objects
The thirsts for fulfilling lusts calls
The hatred bred in misunderstandings
The sorrow of imagined loss

Some ignoramus pointed at the mind
And I the fool followed

I... I ... naan ...moi....

The seeker that itself is the sought
...

Clarity. .. what a fool I've been

The mind is a tool
A beautiful device of joy
An infinite treasure trove of thoughts
A keeper of life's longings
A lover of treasured moments
A book of life's learnings
A magical wand for living in joy

What a great gift of life
The thing which I thought was my curse
Is the greatest blessing of my existence

I can differentiate myself from everything else
And still belong to the world of things
I can divinize the moment and the place
Else I can see the Divinity in All

All and All and All in me
I am but Truth in All that is to see
Oh. . If not for this blessed mind

I offer thanks to All that is I know
And that I think I don't
And to what that I can't imagine now
For All my thanks I offer to me
The one in All and The All in One

Oh lovely mind
All in Thee I see in me
For Thee art All and All is Me

I am. ..

Om Tat Sat...

Profound and Subtle

The ancient masters were profound and subtle.
Their wisdom was unfathomable.
There is no way to describe it;
All we can describe is their appearance.
They were careful
As someone crossing an iced-over stream.
Alert as a warrior in enemy territory.
Courteous as a guest.
Fluid as melting ice.
Shapable as a block of wood.
Receptive as a valley.
Clear as a glass of water.
Do you have the patience to wait
Till your mud settles and the water is clear?
Can you remain unmoving
Till the right action arises by itself?
The master doesn’t seek fulfillment.
Not seeking, not expecting,
She is present, and can welcome all things.
~ Lao Tsu

Truth and illusion

I would like to imagine myself within this force field covered by layer over layer of powerful energy that I could control. That would be possible to achieve feats that I wouldn't have been able to do for several lifetimes. Do those amazing things that would leave the future in awe. The power to control that which I create. That would put me in a position so great the there would be none other than me so powerful

Quite childish actually. ....

Thoughts that defined me as special as separate from everything else known. Until you realize there is that opposite word. . The Unknown

That word is associated with fear

The more these thoughts wander the more there is one certainty. The I that I so passionately use is just a collection of my thoughts. My thoughts as memory and my imagined future. While the body that I so cling to as who I am is just an energy field I associate my thoughts to be centered on this field. Why I even use this right in doing this exercise of jotting down these thoughts. ...

It is only more and more apparent that this visible world is one single field of waves or energy or whatever we classify them as. ...

While this given body allows this imagination to function elsewhere I am a tree or an insect or building why even a black hole or the gravity in the black hole.

Am I crazy. .. no. ....I just am an extension of nature itself not separate from it. ... not an entity nor an integer in a statistic

But why this. ..

This is an illusion of light. ..a cosmic play of the One as the many. .... just fun

I pray to That I am. ....
May there be peace
May there be peace
May there be peace

I Am. ...

Lazy thinking bastards

For our security we've built cities societies and religions and now we leave our security and are more concerned about the dreams we've built. People seem to want trees but won't plant them. Want flowers and fruits but not trees for they spoil their house. Someone told us. .. take away those plants they breed the mosquitoes. ... what the. ..?

No snakes no elephants no tigers they are best left in the cage.

No work too cause the govt should give me free

What are we coming to?

I WISH YOU ENOUGH

1 A Peaceful Warrior / by vivek / 20 hours ago

I WISH YOU ENOUGH

Recently, I overheard a mother and daughter in
their last moments together at the airport as the
daughter's departure had been announced.
Standing near the security gate, they hugged and
the mother said:
"I love you and I wish you enough."
The daughter replied, "Mom, our life together has
been more than enough. Your love is all I ever
needed. I wish you enough, too, Mom." They kissed
and the daughter left.
The mother walked over to the window where I sat.
Standing there, I could see she wanted and needed
to cry.
I tried not to intrude on her privacy but she
welcomed me in by asking, "Did you ever say
good-bye to someone knowing it would be
forever?" "Yes, I have," I replied. "Forgive me for
asking but why is this a forever good-bye?"
"I am old and she lives so far away. I have
challenges ahead and the reality is the next trip
back will be for my funeral," she said.
When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say,
"I wish you enough." May I ask what that means?"
She began to smile. "That's a wish that has been
handed down from other generations. My parents
used to say it to everyone." She paused a moment
and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail
and she smiled even more.
"When we said 'I wish you enough' we were
wanting the other person to have a life filled with
just enough good things to sustain them". Then
turning toward me, she shared the following,
reciting it from memory,
"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude
bright.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit
alive.
I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in
life appear much bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you
possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the
final good-bye."
She then began to cry and walked away.
They say it takes a minute to find a special person.
An hour to appreciate them. A day to love them.
And an entire life to forget them.

The Best You've Got

First Sip / by CLAUDIA / 3 days ago

People are often unreasonable,
illogical, and self-centered;
forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you
of selfish, ulterior motives;
be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some
false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank,
people may cheat you;
be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building,
someone could destroy overnight;
build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness,
others may be jealous;
be happy anyway.
The good you do today,
people will often forget tomorrow;
do good anyway.
If you give the world the best you have,
it may never be enough;
give the world the best you’ve got anyway.

We are so small

We cannot begin to see the realms beyond periphery
These ghosts and odd anomalies that whisper of reality

But modern man is so adept at skimming past the ocean's depths
From shoal to shore but still convinced

We can't feel the spinning underneath
This globe rotates and no one perceives
We're so small but man always believes
We are the center, measure of all things

If this is where we lie, some place between the matter and the mystified
And only foolish minds would attempt to fit the universe inside

Maybe all our lives are founded in the moments that escape our eyes
And prudent hearts will find that there is beauty in the mysteries of life

We are so small

10 SEC READING the writer and God http://feedly.com/e/BVj3xcoI

During his whole life, the Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis (Zorba, The Last Temptation of Christ) was an absolutely coherent man.
Although he touched on religious themes in many of his books – such as an excellent biography of Saint Francis of Assisi – he always considered himself a confirmed atheist.
Well, this confirmed atheist wrote one of the most beautiful definitions of God that I have ever come across:

“We gaze with perplexity at the highest part of the spiral of force that governs the Universe.
“And we call it God.
“We could give it any other name: Abyss, Mystery, Absolute Darkness, Total Light, Matter, Spirit, Supreme Hope, Supreme Despair, Silence.
“But we call it God, because only this name – for some mysterious reason – is capable of making our heart tremble with vigor.

“And let there be no doubt that this trembling is absolutely indispensable for us to be in contact with the basic emotions of the human being”.

God am I?

There is no God
Outside
That ain't within

There can be no two entities
No two powers that is Almighty

There can be no forgiveness
If forgiveness isn't forged within

What are you going to take child
What is yours to leave behind

You need not know this Truth
For you are That

It isn't yours to leave behind this world
For the body isn't Truth

Forgive for there is no they
Live for only You exist as they

Live for you are life
There is but peace everywhere

Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthihi
Om Tat Sat

"How Deep Is Your Love"

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How Deep Is Your Love

How deep is your love, How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest darkest hour
You're my saviour when I fall
And you may not think
I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show
How Deep Is Your Love

How deep is your love, How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love and then softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How Deep Is Your Love

How deep is your love, How deep is your love
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me

It's a lot of noise
Sometimes the noise forms words
Rarely they make a sentence

Once in a blue moon they make sense
And then they flow

But it's still noise

Aham

Animals fight to defend their bodies
Humans curse to defend their imagination of themselves
This imagined notion of who we are
And how others are supposed to see us
Is called aham

Aham constantly seeks validation from the external world.
When that is not forthcoming it becomes insecure
Aham makes humans accumulate things
Through things we hope people will look upon us
As we imagine ourselves
That is why ,Janaka ,
People display their wealth
And their knowledge
And their power
Aham yearns to be seen

Mirror in my mind

How long do I search for Him
Using the mirror in my mind
How long in shapes and forms
He seems to be of many race and colours
He even seems to know many tongues

Hey You with a beard or without one
I speak now to You like many before me
And many more to come
I suddenly felt lost when I thought You didn't exist
A thought so song that life felt meaningless without You in form

Hence I ask You now how much longer do I seek You
Using this mirror in my mind
For all I see are various forms

Some say there is a place beyond
Some a life better in Thy presence
But I can't accept any unless You show me here
Now a life of meaning

I believe I know Thy scent
Thy form shape and colour now
I am aware of Thy presence
Yet I cannot but sell You
Through the mirror in my mind

How much longer this hide and seek
How much longer do I hold
For I have shattered this mirror in the hope
That i take it that You are me alone
Here and now

I am. ...

Do we try to check with our views. Do we feel the necessity to have others cross verify or views. ..

Let me clarify, do I require someone to look at my thoughts or actions or words and tell me.. alright. .. is that process of validation required. Is that what I seek. ..or is it a necessity in society

Let me rephrase. ... is it necessary to seek help. Society and civilisation as we know it was not built by one man or one generation but by several. Did they need validation. ...

Do we make ourself smaller by seeking ideas. Do we make ourselves weaker by asking what we need. .. do we put itself at a disadvantage setting ourself exposed in seeing help or ideas. ....

Let me rephrase. .. do I see myself put at difficulty in seeking help or ideas. ....

On the contrary. ..I believe my strength is in saying what I need to say and asking what I feel like asking. I may have hurt several in this process... some I regret.... most I don't. .... for I spoke the Truth and that which I felt necessary to be spoken.

But why this seeking in a space meant for those thoughts spiritual or mystical

This is spiritual.. for when there is an urge that cannot be stopped it is better to say it rather than be lost in what history should say. Man could evolve beyond urge for he had always brought out his fears.

In seeking help I have only brought out what is human.

I guess it's the need to be 'civilized' that puts the seeking man at a disadvantage. .. for the perspective is always the presentation and rarely the help being sought or so I believe at this instant

The problem is not in the help sought or the person sought or the exposal of the fear itself or rightly.... the direction itself. ...its is in the presentation. ....

I am glad I approached seeking help. ..I only pray I learn to present them better. ..

I learn. ...I am. ...Sat Chit Ananda

Old - publishing as such. .. unfinished

I feel I am losing my God

I feel my world is breaking apart

I feel I am losing the plot

The Old anger is surfacing

The new confUsions seem to continue

where from they come

where have they been?

Noise screaming inside my head

Silence has disappead in this moment

I see....

EGO - Who I am and my new prayer how not to be

Anklets

Oh Lakshmana, look at these; these belong to Sita. My heart is broken. I cant stand this separation. Tell me Lakshmana ..are these Sita's?

I know only one among these Oh Lord, those anklets Divine for they were on Her feet. They shine for when I fall at Her feet they appear as I rise.

I have not seen Her but for Her Divine presence with You.These jewels I know not

But to answer your question, the anklet belongs to my Divine Mother

Your wife Sita, Oh Rama
---------------------------------------------------------------

Have you seen these?
she asks with a smile on her face
Shaking her head
and letting them shake on her ears
Bright and beautiful
They add to the beauty of her smile

Have you seen these? .. she asks again
I am lost for I have not seen them
She says guess where it could have been
Knowing I dont follow womens faces beyond the eyes.. She says it was where you go every day. I still am puzzled .. for I do not know. She says these were on Lord Guruvayoorappans picture in the Puja room decorated on to the image and asks.. what do you do there....

Oh Lord, have I seen anything but you're feet?
Do you wear anklets?
I can hear their sounds but I .. I lie beneath Thy feet.
The goblin, the rakshasa, Maaya
whatever Thy Bhakthas may call ..

I pray to Thee ..
show me Thy form

"Crawling In The Dark" - Hoobastank

"Crawling In The Dark"

I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything for just a second's worth
Of how my story's ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make won't end up all for nothing
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Help me carry on
Assure me it's ok to use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
So when and how will I know?
How much further do I have to go?
How much longer until I finally know?
Because I'm looking and I just can't see what's in front of me
In front of me
Show me what it's for
Make me understand it
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what i've been handed?
I've been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Remain in me

My search for You
Started as a doubt
Questioning You and creation
And where I belonged

Learning and Yearning for Truth
I was misled by my wrong thinking
To hold the body as a curse
And myself as a Sinner

Now You walk with me
And speak inside my mind
whispering the Truth
Like a lover would to His beloved

I've searched for Thee in places sacred
I've sought Thee in work And Love
While You were ever present in what I call me
Like a fool I've listened to lies

Now I try to listen hard
To your voice in my head
Trying to differentiate between
My noise and your voice

Like a lover now I wait for Thee
Your name etched to my thoughts
Your love mixed with every thought
I am yours in body and You in mind

I am....

Yearning..

Where do experiences go
Where do those moments go
Where love joy and other thoughts
Take birth in the mind

Where does pain go
Moments of loss
Moments where nothing else
Would satisfy but the object of loss

Where does such strong emotions go
Of hate .... people places things
Born in my mind do they live
Do they linger on...

Do these represent the life I live
Memories, or reality in some parallel world
Carry on I will after this
Knowing that these make me who I am

But who am I really?
No book will satisfy this thirst
No adventure would put to rest this quest
I wont stop until I know...

Who I am ..

I.am.

Vikshepa Shakthi

As I try again to do plough through the Gita I stall and stumble... this is not the first time. There have been years in between verses where I could not make progress. Each time it was different...it was more difficult.. but never was it so dead of spirituality... no classes ...hardly any new book... very little satsang. My car rides to the factory are also silent ones...rarely an FM song on the radio

A new challenge ...a new situation... the challenge seems to be one that I have ignored for long...

Shravanam Mananam Nidhidhyasanam Dhyanam ....Dhyanam... Dhyanam

Stilling the mind and letting it be clear of thoughts and instilling in it a sense of Truth... and then the minds whips a scenario and runs loose... wild and uncouth! Imagining situations that never were...never will be...making them realities and giving them logic... raising strong emotions and raising the ego....SNAP!!!!

The onset of the preoccupation has been steady and seems to threaten the most basic of conversations...worry seems to be a common theme for the mind... a trailing issue from school can call for a host of thoughts from friends to not so friends... some good thought and some that could be very different...

Where did spirituality go... hidden among the mire of imagination...

The new war...the new challenge...an old problem... vikshepa Shakthi- wandering imaginative distractive power

I pray to you oh Divine Mother...show me the way!!!

Back to Innocence

While I heap layer over layer of flowers
Chanting sacred hymns in the Lords name
I am aware of the thoughts that freely run
Over-lapping the meaningful devotion outwardly exhibited

With every flower that I wish to adorn His feet
I also humbly submit my thoughts unto Him
Knowing fully well that not all are but free of sin!
Thoughts are but a continuum of the minds rant
A habit of continuous ill use
Greed and lust take charge when logic stops
And unto fear i submit my will
Walking away from God until its prayer time..

Laced with these thoughts I watch
My children as they assist me in prayer
Innocent and clear in conscience they do
Mimicking my every action in mirth
Thoughts am sure are simple
Doing the task for tasks sake
Enjoying every bit of action done
Devoted only to fun they do,
What I try time and again and fail

I seek Thee Dear Lord
For I know my thoughts that flow
I seek Thy hands to work within
My mind that has ceased to play
Show me the joy in work
Show me Thy playful state
Let me regain that innocence
That I seem to have lost today

Let every action be in Thy thoughts
Let every thought be mixed in Thee
May You work these hands freely
For I seek to merge in Thee..

Pebbles in a stream

http://farm1.staticflickr.com/184/378504205_4b96221881.jpg

We're all just pebbles in a stream
Earth burnt and chilled
Made hard and rigid
Chipped by time and pushed away
To be thrown away from the parent rock
In bits, crude and sharp
Until time chips away the edges
As air and water, the elements in motion
Brought together and formed as pebbles
Edges round and surface smooth
We cuddle in with other stones
Until time as a stream separate us
To be pushed away again into change
Until time flows over and all the hardness is gone
As clay we form and mould ourselves into nature
Until that too disintegrates into space
And we become one with space

We know not why we are together
We know not why we travel through time
We know not why we change so
We know not what such a journey fulfills

It is true we are now pebbles
And together we remain in this moment
It is love that has brought us together
The same love that shall move us on
We are the same my love
Hold on to every moment in joy
Let us be in this moment for we recognize the Truth In Love

We are but pebbles in a stream
Why we remain together and how long
Shall be determined by the stream of time And Love

So long my loved one
It is time to move on

Sat Chit Ananda

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 offerings externally as prescribed
I offer Thee internally all my shortcomings

Now I am truly happy with this prayer for I pray with an own heart through all the disturbances that You are my final destination and I offer myself whole heartedly to Thee

Visualize - incomplete Oct 2012

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

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...

Good News

Every one has a bit of good news in them

The good news is that
You really don't know
How great you can be
How much you can love
What you can accomplish
What your potential its!! !

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

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

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. Let counter emotions surge or try to surge. Once you know they are against spiritual growth, in that very understanding, the need to remove them is implied. Then act upon the findings. That is all.

In fact, is this not like driving your car? Every time you have to turn, you must reduce the speed and sometimes apply the brake; sometimes you want to give space for others to overtake; some times you slow down and allow pedestrians to cross. Are you not doing all these? Does it not mean making the necessary adjustments? Likewise, deal with the `counter-emotions' too. What is the difference? Where is the difficulty?

In other words, along with objective interactions, you will also have a `mind-checking' and `attitude-correcting' process at work. That only enhances your worth, ability and effectiveness. Your actions become not only objectively productive, but also subjectively enriching and elevating.

If you are able to do it well, can you imagine, how lofty, great and powerful will the interactions then be? You will be led to inner expansion. All the great epic creations have flowed from such benevolent inner expanse. Valmiki welcomed and nursed Sita, Lava and Kusha, with such a mind. Kanva Maharshi looked after Shakuntala also likewise.

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

I seek

Image from http://www.universdartistes.com/2011/11/eriks-moment.html
The thought of discovery

The yearning to know

These doubts that linger
And all the memories within

I cringe and hurt
With every new thought
Those that surface
Are empty without hope

Escape seems probable
A Momentary hope
Yet places and people may
Change yet dont help

Outside seems to empty
and the inside too noisy
I cant help but scream
Into a world that cares not for me

I try to seek meaning
I think I know the solution
Yet there seems to be a wall
A Wall created with my imagination

Free I wish to be
And free I am told I am
Yet happiness seems to slip
And happiness I am told I am

In this discovery I seek
Meaning of all this work
Meaning I am told I give
To everything I do and wont

I cannot but hold a Higher
Behold someone or thing
That which is bigger better
Than me at this instance called time.

I seek Thee Oh Imagination
I seek Thee The dream of man
I seek Thee That fueled civilization
I seek Thee That imagined Time

I am told I am Thee
Yet I create not
I seek Thee for I hold
Thoughts different from that I am told!

In seeking shall I see reason
In seeking shall I see peace
I know not for I seek Thee Oh imagination
That hath created Time and culture of man

I imagine to be someone
Memory and other creatures react to
Yet I know I will die and perish
In the sands I stand upon now!

I seek Thee Oh Imagination
Light up my path and mind
I seek Thee Oh Mother
That lives through my body here and now!

You live for Thy mirth it seems
For I seem to be a lie
I cannot be other than You
For I am but a few pulses of light

I seek Thee for I wish to forget
I seek Thee for I wish to live
I seek Thee for happiness
Which I see only through Thee

It is but my imagination that writes
for I think so I am...

I am ...

The Demon in me

Noise Noise Noise inside my head
The thoughts just breaks loose
As I try to control they break out again
And destroy any inkling of peace

I need a way out
I need to stay calm
I need to hold on
I need to break through

The waves rise and rise
And fall with a crash
The noise explodes into a scream
The conscious within implodes into fear

The raging sounds change desires into anger
The emotions locked within break out
The body shivers in confusion
And the effort falls flat in vain

Just then.. I hear anklets from within
Steps taken in wild dancing
The waves lashing on the shores
Musical instruments play in rhythm

A heat emanates within
The awareness stills the thoughts
And the noise slowly pulls back
The music takes control

Fire erupts on all sides
Light fills the whole mind
The darkness recedes into nothingness
Suddenly the scene reveals a dance

His feet with anklets tap on a monster below
His legs raised with snakes on them
Seem to reach the sky
And hold the heavens from falling

One hand is pointing down gracefully
And the other palm faces my eyes
The hair is flowing on all sides
As though lighting the fire all around

The smile, His smile.. just bliss
The snakes hissing in a drunken state of joy
Curl around His neck and arms
Draping Him like His clothes

What sight! The fair One
Smeared in ashes
Burning like the sun
His feet on my body!!

Stunned I withdraw from the scene
And I still feel Him lighting up my mind
While I, in a confused state close my eyes again
To see Him standing on my body

Withdrawn from my body
I gaze at him dancing on my body
while my awareness witnesses this sight
Only He can tell me what I've become!

Oh Lord Nataraja! Dance on my body
Dance Your eternal dance of death
Make this pain disappear
Let me disappear in Thy Bliss

Thy smile of knowledge
Plant it on my lips
For that to happen
Fill my mind with Thy sights

May this fool see Thy presence
In all that Exists
May thy devotees appear to me
Wherever my sight may fall

May there be only Love
Where my senses turn
May there be Thy signs
Wherever there may be any impulse

I prostrate to Thee Oh Dancing Lord
I know not what is mine
for You dance on what I thought was me
I know not what I am other than a lie

Oh Lord! I rest in Thee

Om Tat Sat
I am...

Letter from my Guru Swami Paramarthananda

Letter from my Guru Swami Paramarthananda

Letter from my Guru Swami Paramarthananda

Letters from my Guru Swami Paramarthananda

You the dreamer... Wake up

What is supernatural
What is so ordinary
What is so pleasurable
What could not be so

What could be more unbelievable
Than the fact that for no reason
I wake up again and again
To do things that will get removed by time

What else could be possible oh Lord
Than the reason that I exist
Is for Your pleasure
While I remain the dream and You the dreamer

What could possibly be the reason
That I suppose I am free
And play this role of a seeker
While You oblivious to my pain dream on as me

Oh Lord! Wake up as the four armed
Wake up as the One wearing the snake on Thy neck
Change this dream to play your games
May this dream body of Yours be fit to work Thy plans

What else could possibly be the reason
For me to wake up but to submit this false free will
To Thy service to Thy games
Oh Lord! I remain... I remain Thy dream .. Wake up

I am....

Sat Chit Ananda

The moon and the mind

You wake me up
In the middle of the night
Shining bright on my face
For this one night in full

Borrowed is Thy Light
That shines down on me
Yet bright and lovely You are
Like this mind I call me

This too is borrowed
The thought that tries to speak
The same light that hallows you
The same One that cannot be spoken about

I am these thoughts that emerge
From the screen of the mind
Like a projector He streams
Not judging not controlling

Like you who waxes and wanes
My mind peaks and drops
To levels I choose not to reveal
Yet the same Light is He who lights me

I behold oh moon Thy beauty
I pray to the Light That reveals us
To shine through my mind always
Always so that I may be bright as you oh full moon

This thought that speaks of You Oh Lord
Is but Thy light shining through
Yet I have no way of being You
For I see me as an entity other than You

Make me see Your Truth
Make my mind clear as crystal
Make these words speak Thy name alone
May my mind be in the moment which is only You

Sat Chit Ananda

Death of the world

The bed on which I sleep
Is dead wood
The ground I tread
Is volcanic matter
The world as I see it
Is just a recreation
As electrical pulses in my head
The identity of the I that speaks now
Is just an illusion of memory

Where from this journey
where to this path
Where are the Gods
Who maketh my hopes
When all there is is just thoughts

This thing called hope
And love and faith
These words used loosely
To claim and embrace
My work and thoughts for
Years in pain what for I ask
Cause its just another pulse within

Loss of things and hope we speak
Things that pain and hurt within
Love and faith that make sense to live
Shall change and let nature prevail

The world is ruthless and hard as it is
The now is changing every cell that is
Certain is change as death for that mind
That holds these thoughts as itself in I

Where then is love or hate or faith
For all that is is change and flux
So I hold on to sanity and remain
Watchful of this change as my God within

These meaningless words can't touch
The realm of that which changes not
For if that change-less exists
It exists as that existence consciousness infinite

Sat chit Ananda

You and I - Scorpions

I lose control because of you babe
I lose control when you look at me like this
there's something in your eyes that is sayin' tonight
I'm not a child anymore, life has opened the door
to a new exciting life

I lose control when I'm close to you babe
I lose control don't look at me like this
there's something in your eyes, is this love at first sight
like a flower that grows, life just wants you to know
all the secrets of life

It's all written down in your lifelines
it's written down inside your heart

You and I just have a dream
to find our love a place
where we can hide away
you and I were just made
to love each other now
forever and a day

I lose control because of you babe
I lose control when you look at me like this

I'm so curious for more just like never before
in my innocent life

It's all written down in your lifelines
it's written down inside your heart

You and I just have a dream
to find our love a place
where we can hide away

Time stands still
when days of innocence are falling for the night
I love you girl I always will
I swear I'm there for you till the day I'll die

Send me an angel - Scorpions

The wise man said just walk this way
To the dawn of the light
The wind will blow into your face
As the years pass you by
Hear this voice from deep inside
It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just find your place
In the eye of the storm
Seek the roses along the way
Just beware of the thorns

Here I am

In the land of the morning star

The wise man said just raise your hand
And reach out for the spell
Find the door to the promised land
Just believe in yourself

It's the call of your heart
Close your eyes and your will find
The passage out of the dark

Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star
Here I am
Will you send me an angel
Here I am
In the land of the morning star

Dance of the Self

This dance of Yours
Such is Thy Life
As these plants that shed flowers
As the waters that roar
As these thoughts that surface
As the sky so expansive
As these insects that crawl
As this earth that sustains
As this soil that nourishes

You encompass this All
You bring to Life me
And give me a false identity
For Your mirth Oh Lord!

what game is this
Lead me to the Truth
And dissolve my identity in You

May my actions be lead
I know not my role
Lead me Oh Lord to You

Om Tat Sat

A Prayer

I pray today
I pray today for a tomorrow
Peaceful and bright
Whence  I can sow the seeds
Of love for your children

I pray that my work
Shall yield results and
Carry your blessing
In every step I take
Lead me Lord for Thy feet I seek

Hari Om Tat Sat

I am death ...

Voices of wailing accompany me
As I walk this hollow earth
Lives and dreams shatter into pieces
As my feet treads into lives that end

Who am I .. I've sought forever
From the beginning I've walked alone
Some fear me and some hallow my name
Yet I can spare them not for I am death

There is no hurry in this quest
There is no direction for my steps
I walk in and out of doors
That my weary feet seeks to rest

Voices within call out fate
Thoughts race through when I get blamed
Yet I need to carry on as my feet tells
Carrying the burden of one more dead

I am death...
I am the mortifying entity
I seek a direction I am denied
For my thoughts shall seem to rest
When I am dead

I laugh at myself
When words lose meaning
For words are just a play in my head
How could I who am death die and see death in the eye

I carry on
For I am death ...

I seek no God
I seek no end
I seek no love
For I AM all the above

I am death...
In me all shall end

I am..

"Breaking The Habit" - Linkin Park

"Breaking The Habit"

Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safe here in my room
Unless I try to start again

[Bridge:]
I don't want to be the one
The battles always choose
'Cause inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

[Chorus:]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream.
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean.
I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright.
So I'm breaking the habit,
I'm breaking the habit
Tonight

Clutching my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I had no options left again

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

I'll paint it on the walls
'Cause I'm the one that falls
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends

[Chorus:]
I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I’m breaking the habit
Tonight

Kangna

As the music fills up my mind
Words flow down meaninglessly
And thoughts of scenes rush by
As the intellect stops its work
These tunes from across
Break the rhythm of the day
As the past stands unchanged
While the future appears brighter
Where from have these voices emerged
That were under wraps in war
While love thrived beneath
Risen now have these works
That set the path of peace
God breaks His silence in rhythms
While I get immersed
In my own silence within..

Inception

The world I believe
Keeps crumbling around
While thoughts unseen
Start showing up

The comforts I've known
Become my pain
And the company I've kept
Break away...

Partially I begin to see
The reality of me
While my world merges
With dreams in sleep

I fade into Thy dream
On coils of infinity
with my heart held firmly
In Thy Blissful serenity

Breaking free from this lie
A world of vanity
I step in to myself
The One True Reality

I am....
Om Tat Sat

Joshua Walters: On being just crazy enough

I've always wondered from when I could discern what the words like 'social', 'acceptable', 'sensible', 'practical' etc were spoken as to who defined these words... people have ever been classified based on these words on interpretations that were suitable to one's own agenda and the one's who were branded as not so were dismissed for whatever reason... It is only necessary that as a civilization we re-look at certain 'facts' in the light of where we are today with the problems being faced by us economically, socially etc.

We need to understand that we are but a species, not a race... We are but an evolute not the final.. We are but in the process of understanding not dictating... We are but another life form not 'that' which defined life... when we classify some 'one' or some 'thing' on the basis of our limitations.

A new situation ...
A different experience
People I know not
Yet I seem to care

Why is it a need felt
Is it for social acceptance
is it for name and fame
Or for a position I can claim

Nay says the mind
Go ahead says the heart
Your duty screams the Scriptures
fall not says the will

I stand up to this challenge
I work for togetherness
I hold all fair and equal
love not pride drives the spirit

I behold You Lord
in all that I do
I thank Thy grace
for these oppurtunities placed

Show me my path righteous and straight
Hold Thee my arms and guide me to You
I am but Thy reflection in flesh and blood
I exist as a reflection in Thy mind

Isha vasyam idam sarvam
I see Thee in all this visible glory

OM TAT SAT

Winds of Change - Scorpions

I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
An August summer night
Soldiers passing by
Listening to the wind of change

The world closing in
Did you ever think
That we could be so close,like brothers
The future's in the air
I can feel it everywhere
Blowing with the wind of change

Chorus:
Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

Walking down the street
Distant memories
Are buried in the past forever

I fallow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The wind of change blows straight
Into the face of time
Like a storm wind that will ring
The freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing
What my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams
With you and me

Take me to the magic of the moment
On a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away
In the wind of change

The sound of anklets within ..

Deep within i hear
The sounds of feet dancing
I hear them anklets on those feet
As i lose myself to these thoughts

Lost am I in love for Him
Slave am I to His thoughts
Oh Lord release me from this
These chains of attchments

Let me join them gopis
In their dance of love
Let me delve in your memory
May You take me in Thy arms

I cry for Thee in mirth
Love lorn have I been
Without Thy presence
And I hear Thy feet danicing

Amongst them gopis my Lord
You dance my Lord
Take me along Krishna
May I also be lost in Thy bliss

I hear them feet with anklets
I hear them dancing in Love
I hear them in my mind
I hear them full of bliss within

Om Tat Sat

Black Sabbath N. I. B. Lyrics

Oh yeah!

Some people say my love cannot be true
Please believe me, my love, and Ill show you
I will give you those things you thought unreal
The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal

Oh yeah!

Follow me now and you will not regret
Leaving the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me till the end of time

Your love for me has just got to be real
Before you know the way Im going to feel
Im going to feel
Im going to feel

Oh yeah!

Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
My name is lucifer, please take my hand

Oh yeah!

Follow me now and you will not regret
Leaving the life you led before we met
You are the first to have this love of mine
Forever with me till the end of time

Your love for me has just got to be real
Before you know the way Im going to feel
Im going to feel
Im going to feel

Oh yeah!

Now I have you with me, under my power
Our love grows stronger now with every hour
Look into my eyes, you will see who I am
My name is lucifer, please take my hand


*******************************************************

This song holds a lot of meaning for me... I know... I feel these words are blasphemy for any religion. But this song led me to question so many things which I took for granted.

My journey to understand religion and philosophy went hand in hand with my state of mind moving from high devotion to complete atheism. The Devil - Lucipher was the aid, a state of mind which could probe into what was evil and compare with what was good.

Today that exercise makes no sense, but then it was all meaningful

As the mind battled between why religion, why God, why a structure and why Love these debates were real.

The path to Truth is no bed of roses at the same time once there is conviction then Jesus vs Lucipher, Krishna vs Kamsa, Ram vs Ravan becomes a battle in the mind, in choices, in decisions, in Love....

thank you for this wonderful song, jarring yet in rhythm

Arunachala!!!

I wait for you
I seek Thee in books
I search for you in shadows
I imagine you in my being

Yet I see not Thee in myself
Yet I find no satisfaction
I repeat Thy name in the mind
I sing out Your name like never before

This search continues
Yet You hide from me
Where from am I to find solace
Where in lies the Truth

In me say Your guides
In me say Your devotees
In me say the wind
In me says my mind

Yet I am not satisfied
As I am just my own memory
I is an illusion lost in signals
I is a mistake in time

Yet I am alive
These references to memory
is all I think I am
Yet I exist but the references

Show me the way oh Lord
Lost I am in this maze
of me mine and myself
You as me beholds my mind

Yet I as You is a puzzle
I seek You in my actions
I seek You in those results
I am lost in this confusion...

Show me the way Oh Arunachala!

Nothing Else Matters - Metallica S&M Unplugged

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
and nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
but I know

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us, something new
Open mind for a different view
and nothing else matters

never cared for what they say
never cared for games they play
never cared for what they do
never cared for what they know
and I know

So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

EVANESCENCE "Anywhere"

EVANESCENCE

"Anywhere" - LYRICS

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
And dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night, you are my own
Take my hand

[CHORUS:]
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away, I'll take you there

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the mornings light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you now

[Chorus]

[Silence]

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

[Fades out]
