Seeking?

Seeking truth?

Wisdom dwells in the cave of your heart

Seeking God?
The Self dances in each atom of existence

Seeking peace?
Be like a rock in the realization of truth

Realize Brahman in the utter stillness of mind
Realize Brahman in the utter stillness of mind


Seeking reality?
Don’t be the seer or the seen, be the seeing

Seeking bliss?
Transcend duality, thoughts and beliefs

Seeking release?
The very notion of bondage is illusion

Realize Brahman in the utter stillness of mind
Realize Brahman in the utter stillness of mind

Another Day!

Another day, another life, another song

It’s your dream world, there’s no right no wrong

There is no start, there is no end

There’s just the chance to be a friend

Time’s in your mind, there’s no short, no long

Space is like time, there’s no here, no gone

There’s just the chance to Be!

There’s just the chance to Be!

Give Me NOT!

Give me not thirst if you cannot give me water.

Give me not hunger if you cannot give me food.

Give me not joy if I cannot share.

Give me not the skills if I cannot put them to good use.

Give me not intelligence if I cannot perceive beyond it.

Give me not knowledge if I cannot digest it.

Give me not love if I cannot serve.

Give me not desire that doesn't lead me to you.

Give me not a path that doesn't take me home.

Give me not a prayer if you don't want to hear it. 

-love, unni. :)

Follow your dreams!

    There were once 2 brothers who lived on the 80th level. On coming home one day, they realized to their dismay that the lifts were not working and that they have to climb the stairs home.

After struggling to the 20th level, panting and tired, they decided to abandon their bags and come back for them the next day. They left their bags then and climbed on. When they have struggled to the 40th level, the younger brother started to grumble and both of them began to quarrel. They continued to climb the flights of steps, quarreling all the way to the 60th floor.

They then realized that they have only 20 levels more to climb and decided to stop quarreling and continue climbing in peace. They silently climbed on and reached their home at long last. Each stood calmly before the door and waited for the other to open the door. And they realized that the key was in their bags which was left on the 20th floor.

This story is reflecting on our life…many of us live under the expectations of our parents, teachers and friends when young. We seldom get to do the things that we really like and love and are under so much pressure and stress so that by the age of 20, we get tired and decided to dump this load.

Being free of the stress and pressure, we work enthusiastically and dream ambitious wishes. But by the time we reach 40 years old, we start to lose our vision and dreams. We began to feel unsatisfied and start to complain and criticize. We live life as a misery as we are never satisfied. Reaching 60, we realize that we have little left for complaining anymore, and we began to walk the final episode in peace and calmness.

We think that there is nothing left to disappoint us, only to realize that we could not rest in peace because we have an unfulfilled dream …… a dream we abandoned 60 years ago.

So, what is your dream? Follow your dreams, so that you will not live with regrets.

It happened with Buddha!

Buddha was passing near a village; a few people came and they abused him very badly, said nasty things, used vulgar words -- and he just stood there. They got a little puzzled, because he was not reacting. Then somebody from the crowd asked, "Why are you silent? Answer what we are saying!"

Buddha said, "You came a little late. You should have come ten years ago, because then I would have reacted. But now I am not there where you are doing these things to me; a distance has arisen. Now I have moved to the center where you cannot touch me. You came a little late. I am sorry for you, but I enjoy it. Now I am in a hurry, because in the other village where I am going, people will be waiting for me. If you are not yet finished, then I will pass back by the same route. You can come again. It sounds fascinating."

They were puzzled. What to do with such a man? Another from the crowd asked, "Really, are you not going to say anything?"

Buddha said, "In the village I have come from just now, people came with many sweets to present to me, but I take things only when I am hungry, and I was not hungry, so I gave them back their sweets. I ask you, what will they do?"
So the man said, "Of course, they will go in the village and give those sweets as prasad to people."

So Buddha started laughing and he said, "You are really in trouble, you are in a mess -- what will you do? You brought these vulgar words to me, and I say I am not hungry -- so now take them back! And I feel very sorry for your village, because people will get such vulgar things, vulgar words in their prasad."

When you are at the center, it sounds fascinating -- you can enjoy it. When you are cool you can enjoy the whole world. When you are hot you cannot enjoy it, because you get so much into it; you are lost, you get identified. You become so messed up in it, how can you enjoy it?

This may sound paradoxical, but: only a Buddha enjoys this world. Then everything sounds fascinating.

Life is an Echo!

A son and his father were walking in the mountains.
Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: "AAAhhhhhhhhhhh! !!"

To his surprise, hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain:
"AAAhhhhhhhhhhh! !!"

Curious, he yells: "Who are you?"

He receives the answer: "Who are you?"

Angered at the response, he screams: "Coward!"

He receives the answer: "Coward!"

He looks to his father and asks: "What's going on?"

The father smiles and says: "My son, pay attention."

And then he screams to the mountain: "I admire you!"

The voice answers: "I admire you!"

Again the man screams: "You are a champion!"

The voice answers: "You are a champion!"

The boy is surprised, but does not understand. Then the father explains:

"People call this echo, but really this is life. It gives you back everything you say or do. Our life is simply a reflection of our actions. If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence. This relationship applies to everything, in all aspect of life; life will give you back everything you have given to it."

Remember: "LIFE IS AN ECHO"

Shabdon Ke Jungle~

Whenever someone says something hurtful, insensitive or something you don’t want to hear, Listen to the song in the video below and Relax!




Here is the translation:-

Shabdon ke jungle mein tu kyon phansa hai re
Why are you entangled in the jungle of words?

Parbrahm ke ras se tera nas nas rama hai re...
The nectar of Brahman flows through each vein of yours...

Anand tu hi, Parmanand tu hi
You are happiness; you are bliss

Om mein kho kar, Om mein ram kar, Om mein milna hai!
We are to get lost in Om, to blend in Om, to be one with Om!

Shabdon ke jungle mein tu kyon phansa hai re?
Why are you entangled in the jungle of words?

Parbrahm ke ras se tera nas nas rama hai re...
The nectar of Brahman flows through each vein of yours...

Maan apmaan hota kahan re? Ye to hai shabdon ki pakad
What is respect and insult after all? This is just play with words

Bhale bure shabd tujhe hila de, Itna tu nahin hai kamzor
For good and bad words to shake you, You are not that weak

Om mein kho kar, Om mein ram kar, Om mein milna hai!
We are to get lost in Om, to blend in Om, to be one with Om!
