Kavacha

A bad workman blames his tools How foolish have I been I've been blessed with the most sophisticated tool Magical and most powerful Yet not knowing what if is I have taken it to be me I took it not to be me I blamed it for all unpleasant situations And held it as the reason for all the gaps between reality Oh Mind Thou Art Divine The whole world I perceive is because of You You are Shakti You are Her blessing You are filled with Love My ignorance perceives Her Love As desire, anger, hurt, pride, lust,greed For I don't see Her in Your functioning You are a Kavacha (armour),Her blessing And not my curse You are Swarga where Indra resides All the Devas functions in You May You lead me to Him May Her Love Blossom into my Destiny May I fill Your activity with Her Thoughts You are Aananda Om Tat Sat

Why?

I admit I am Your imagination Then why? Why create a being on You're own Am I willfully here by You Or am I part of Your un-willful dream What do I do now Whom to I talk to but You In all these names and forms Whom do I teach You who is in all these conscious beings Whom do I work when all that is is You Even if I playfully participate I am but You playing with You Working with You Crying with You Then why? Why this separate entity to plead Why this imagined being in You Who knows not whether to enjoy our suffer Knows not what to enjoy what to avoid Gets beaten by its own action Does this even exist If so why this temporary separation Why Oh Lord I admit I know not anything Any wilful lesson is also in ignorance I admit my ego plays truant Show me why should this separation linger Time itself is You and it pains me to know that separation could last an eternity Oh Mother why? Show me the way to end this separation if it is to work by my actio...

Search

I search for You in all places But this mind I have For I fail to accept that You are All I search for You in things and books While I don't see You in these thoughts I search for You in the past I imagine You in stories I yearn for You in presence I long for Your loving embrace While all the Time You are All I search for That means ;now , which would unclog this mind That which would reveal You, here and now, as I I pray I search for You no more I pray You fill my thoughts I pray my thoughts be strung with Your Divinity I pray my existence is no more even thought of as other than Your grace May I search no more I pray.. Om Tat Sat

Prayer

I realize now.. I know not what's right or wrong I hold not thoughts I can call my own I am unsure whether the notion of I that I hold is something meaningful Imagination itself seems to be just a tool just to make sense of what's happening I know not even if Truth that I believe is meaningful I submit myself to Thee Thee who is this world I perceive Thee who is of different names and forms Thee who is all that is was and will be Thee which perceives as I and You; We and They You are perception itself It is You who perceives as I this, i submit i know not even if i make sense anymore For i am Thy instrument i am...

Man - an animal

Man ... I've always been told that man is superior to the animal ..The sixth sense makes this species different ...intelligence that does not just follow a pattern... no certain design that fit into a mould The urge to conquer nature is a noble task and man is on top of the food chain Maaya - Illusion A concept that is also from the same region I was taught the above If I were born in a different region I would have had to acquire that information rather than be taught or told along with education What a concept ...that all you see and do is just imaginary ..that every'thing thought of to be permanent isn't and there is a Truth that isn't illusion and the superiority of this species -Man is because he is capable of understanding this concept Rather than conquer nature due to intellectual superiority ,  an Illusion makes One more vigilant as there is no need to conquer ..just Co exist as One is part of the whole or the whole or the being that imagines the Wh...

Sleep

The awareness of life is a fleeting thought One that comes as a clarity in silence And hides behind the blur of mind noise immediately on the realization that i am life The noise continues and imagination takes control and the locus of life moves into memory and the i becomes me My memory takes control and i lose out into a series of wants until the wants ...now un fulfilled ... The thoughts tired ...and the memory of hurt ...sets in to take the mind noise go into a grinding halt and back to silence This time it is the silence of the mind due to tired ness and not one of realization ...

Gayathri Mantra

Image
The beauty of this simple mantra keeps growing with time and questioning Repeated chanting/meditation is necessary as per the rituals ..thrice a day Not been very regular yet I've forced myself to sit through and focus as best possible May the Truth that enlivens the three world Bhu Bhuvaha Suvaha earth nether worlds and heaven past present and future body mind  and intellect ..... let that Truth enliven my body my mind my intellect my worlds my life my decisions May my thoughts and actions be in tune with That Truth May my intentions be aligned with That Truth May my life be an extension of That which is the thread of Life... of Light... of Love May Truth prevail into the fabric of the misconception that I exist other than That which is the reason that I am sentient May these words fade into the realization that I am That Sivoham Sivoham Sivoham. ..Om Shanthi Shanthi Shanthihi Om Tat Sat

How Can 12 Laws Of Karma Change Your Life

http://peacefulwarriors.net/how-can-12-laws-of-karma-change-your-life/ 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 yo...

Separation (Viraha) and its manifestaions

Image
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 separ...

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 d...

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 w...

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 ...

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 th...

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  ...

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
