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!! ! Anne  Frank

William Blake

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

Ashok Soota @ Zen Garden

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

Image
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 fue...

The Demon in me

Image
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 An...

You the dreamer... Wake up

Image
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

Image
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 t...

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...
