Newness- to remind what has always been new within.


 A new relationship 

A new home 

A new location 

A new situation/ job/ position/ role

All these seem like a place where you dreamed to be happily-ever-after like the mind told you all the years while you were actively and passively chasing it and wishing to manifest. But the reality is much more AMAZING!

It is that these situations are just like what you have ALWAYS been in - the space where you can be as-you-are at any given moment. 

To be youSelf, small-scared-illusory-"appearing-and-disappearing"-separate-self (under witness) and the higher conscious witnessing Self, simultaneously, while lovingly and consciously accommodating passing thoughts, feelings, emotions, sensations, moods, experiences (while disbelieving them) to come and go as they please without fighting them or defending them or running away from them. 

Most of the time, the experience could be of deep grief and pain, with all the same/ known anxiety and depression, felt in the body (in the chest and lower chest)-- exactly opposite to the fancy illusory expectations. All the "happily ever after" idea proves to be wrong and that disillusion hurts to ego too much. All the celebrations for reaching milestones seem meaningless because nothing in the inner world really changes. All those who came to celebrate and acknowledge that something has changed, have no meaning while going through these intense experiences, because these have to be only sat with, timelessly- in solitude (if given a chance, so to transcend), almost every day. (Every pain is an invitation from the Silence within, to burn whatever is false and to merge with eternal truth, where is Peace/God/Guru)

The wisdom that all is well as they are is the gift in these situations, whether it is in your own experience or someone dear to you. The new situation or space doesn't not want you to be "happy" always. The wisdom is in seeing that, the new situation welcomes you to be yourself, with all experiences of high and low, if they are let to pass peacefully, under witness.

A realisation that your own mind is your "enemy"- is the gift. 

And the realisation that all that you are looking for, is and has been always with/within you, and will always be so- Is the GIFT!

A prayer to make it all easier- Ask the new space, home, marriage, job - to teach you to be as still and graceful like they are.

Doorway to Silence

I have approached (only) two kind beings for psychological/spiritual help after a traumatic incident 4 years ago.  First one was a young and fine therapist from Mumbai.  A wonderful woman, younger than me. She spoke little in the sessions, as a rule. I was encouraged to speak from the beginning till the end of the session. She only listened and took notes :D . I recollected memories from the past, discovering where the trauma started. I expressed more. I felt valued, significant, hopeful. Laughed more at discoveries. And cried and cried. Cried and then laughed. Vented out feelings of betrayal, fears of abandonment. Felt better after each session. But, did I think about the girl on the other side who offered herself completely as a “Therapist”?  I felt light and was ready to "this-time-more-consciously" create another round of mess with all my validated emotions :D. But how is she feeling? Did my emotion care about hers? More emotion means more concern or empathy, right? N...

Trip to Kotachadri Hill

It's my 8th time to the Kodachadri Hills and each time has been different and beautiful  experience . This time I realised that the trip to Kotachadri is very simple, very natural and a basic requirement to be in touch with the Nature. I got a call from my home asking me if I could join. Not thinking twice, I immediately booked the ticket for the next available train and I was home before they expected me. After a lazy day at mom's home, we started the trip early morning. Here is the route we chose this time- Onward: 1. Train from Mangalore to Baindoor 2. Bus to Kollur- 3. Bus to kodachadri ( kollur- Hosanagara bus) Return: 1. Jeep to N agara 2 KSRTC bus to Baindoor 3. Baindoor to Mangalore local train. We started the hike. On the way, we visited the Krishna temple. It was lovely hospitality. Sharing the music with them, we had a heart purification..  The water they offered was so so energetic !! Putting Kadale at the canteen nearby was fulfilling. Then started ste...

Connecting back with nature

    (Image: A mother cat protecting her kittens from male cats) I love watching animals endlessly. Their behaviors, innocence, liveliness... beauty, responsibility I just love how they are. Everything is beauty. Everything they do is with full of focus and heart.   Observing kittens can be most fulfilling. It is wonderful to see how they celebrate life, be extremely playful. Kittens are bundles of pure innocence. I see no difference between a kitten, a calf, a lamb, a chicken. All of them are just pure innocence. Each creature is unique, expressing its beauty. I see ocean as a creature too and I enjoy watching how it expresses itself. Sun is also a living being in my belief and I enjoy his presence and I enjoy his compassionate touch through evening and early morning Sunshine. If we observe, it is so majestic to notice the stillness in animals. The mind that is free of all confusions, very firm in what is known. Animals are always connected deeply to...
