    They say, I am not the mind, I am not the body They say, I am the soul I am the Universe I am the God Itself But how do I know when I have not seen God ever I have not even seen the whole Universe How do I know what they say is true I see me as me I see them as them I see the ant I see the leaf I see the sun, the land, the clouds, the unlimited expanse It is not me It is outside of me How can it be me How can I be all of it I love someone I…

    My Biggest Fight is within Me

    Human life is like waves. We peak, we crest, we fall. We go flat for some time, until the time we start to peak again, riding high on a new relationship, a new project or simply a new reward. With each new rising, we forget the last fall. We spread our wings expecting to keep flying higher and higher, expecting to keep receiving, expecting to be the best out of all. This is when we crest and we fall. While the rise is slow, steady and heady, the fall happens in an instant crash. Depending on how high we rose with the wave, the crash is pretty much equivalent, breaking…

    Nani House

    Yesterday, on my way down in the society elevator, I met a young boy and a girl. Boy must have been around 10 and the girl around 6. Boy was carrying two large bags full of eatables and the girl was managing a small trolley bag. They had an air of excitement and adventure that comes at the start of a new journey. I casually remarked, “Exams are over, eh!”. The boy nodded silently, trying not to engage in conversation with a stranger. I continued, “Going to Nani house for the holidays. ” At this comment, the boys curiosity got better of him. He immediately asked, “How do you know?”…

    Prayer

    We pray to receive, to give, to change what we see is not right. Today, I received the vision to see that nothing was wrong in the first place. I am now in a position to give unconditional love. Such is the power of prayer. We receive what we asked for yet not in way we had thought we would.

I am not sure whether it was old age crisis, fear of the unknown or simply stupidity that made me sign up for a random course which popped up on my timeline. My husband has a masters in AI from one of the best universities but sometimes we don’t want to talk to each other and this was another attempt for me, trying to prove that I am not reliant on him. To be honest, I have been looking for ways to be more productive but then signing up for the course made…

    Sat Chit Anand

    We are all supposed to be Eternal Bliss, Sat Chit Anand. Sorry Correction! We are all Eternal Bliss but we are ignorant of the fact. The sad part is that not only have we have forgotten our true self but also that we look down upon those who are living in eternal bliss. We ask them, “How can you be joyful when inflation is skyrocketing?” “How can you be happy when your children are not topping the class?” “How can you be ecstatic when you are not rich?” “How can you be happy, when I am not? Thoughts from my little understanding of Drig Drishya Viveka.
