Resurrection

Burnt in blaze of thoughts
Tarnished, scarred, charred 
Blown away to an island afar
Restructure the existing matter
Refuge in the big mind
Forget the brutality
Rise from the gutter
Make way for the empty space
This is where you belong
Come back to what is
Again and again and again
Come back home again, again
This is where you belong
At the end of this journey, nothing matters
Come back, brave one
Survive, fight
Come back
To the lap of peace and love
Surround yourself with the good
Let the light flow through you
Embrace the divinity within
Let there be peace
Let there be peace
Let there be peace

Loss

How does it feel when you lose a part of yourself into an unknown space?

How does it feel to live in-between hope and hopelessness?

How does it feel to live at a big loss and look forward to a bigger loss?

How does it feel when you yearn for something which you cannot have?

How does it feel to constantly think about someone closest to you, not anymore?

How does it feel to remember the good old times - feel happy and sad at the same time?

How does it feel to wait for the call you'll never receive?

How does it feel to erase the most memorable memories?

How does it feel to feel abandoned and stripped?

How does it feel to be challenged by love?

How does it feel to become at peace with the internal chaos?

How does it feel to not feel anything anymore ?

A glorious decade with the Art of Living

The air has never been so fresh for me to breathe
I have all the tools to empower myself and fulfill my needs

The Art of Living has enriched me with a new lease of life
The same situations, I see in a new light

If not for this, I would have by now been rotten
Peace and happiness, for sure forgotten

A rebirth and a second chance at life, I get
Living life in the present, I will not forget

This grace, inner-expansion and freedom give me a high
For receiving all this abundance, I will not ask why

I know I’m the chosen one and here for a higher purpose
Guided by the divine with the highest purpose

Throwing away all the baggage of the past
Re-starting again and again and again…at-last!!!

Not getting caught in the mental chatter
Focusing on things that really matter

The Art of Living programs make you the way
God intended to make man (or woman)
Humility, happiness and gratefulness become your core
You appreciate life and lives attached, more and more

The Art of Living, guides and gives you a lot
Life is a celebration, believe it or not

It makes you stronger and a true achiever
And most importantly, a giver and a believer




This year marks a decade of my association with The Art of Living.  
I feel on top of the world. ☺

This post is a result of my experience in the DSN Program (a highly transformational course offered by the Art of Living) with Anand Rajendran Ji in March 2017.

An Ode to Silence




Silence is the song of the soul
What seems a gracious void, 
 makes you feel whole

Au revoir, unwanted impressions
the mind, a junkyard no more
The life force, an eagle, in its upward soar
Positivity, galore

Silence is the celebration of the Self
You are The Source
The all prevailing life force

Silence is total rest
A little time to accept the worldly pests
A fiesta, when we are put to test
Producing brave beings, whilst leaving the nest

Tears roll down the cheeks
Doesn’t mean you are weak
The heart brims with joy
Gratefulness becomes your inherent nature
Strong under cover, yeah! that's our stature

Karma cleansing, in progress 
So long - farewell, depression & stress
The mind is freed from its own mess
What follows is evidently success

Silence is the journey from
the finite to the infinite
from nothingness you gain everything

Meditation is the best mid-day meal
The end of silence, instills zeal
Repose in yourself, to heal
Worries et all, for you to seal
Consider this a spiritual deal



This post is a resultant of my experience at the Art of Silence Program / Part II Course offered by the Art of Living

मृगतृष्णा



घंघोर घटा छाये
टप- टप गिरे यह नन्हे बूंद
बारिश तेज़ रफ्तार से आये
हड़बडाई हुई मैं…
गांव से निकली, शहर की ओर
उन राहों से
जिनसे वो निकलें
चली मैं ढूंडने उन्हें
उनकी ओर...

कहीं भीग तो नहीं गए, वो?
सोच मे डूबी
ढूंडती गयी उन्हें गली- गली
घबराई…
यह बिन मौसम की बरसात,
बिन बुलाये मेहमान की तरह
न जाने क्यों आई?
क्यूँ आई?

कहके गए थे, बस अभी आ जाऊँगा
घंटे निकल गए 
न दिखा उनका नामों- निशान
हर जगह ढूँडा उन्हें
हुई मैं बेबस और परेशान

इस ठंडी- ठंडी मौसम का 
न कुछ मुझको भाए
ज़ुल्फें मेरे लेहराएं
पर मन बैठा जाये

अचानक एक आवाज़ आई:
" सुमित्रा!
इस बारिश मे कहाँ जा रही हो?
कहीं उन्हें ढूँडने तो नहीं फिर निकल गयी?
उनके गुज़रे हुए महीने हो गये हैं
घर चली जाओ, गुड़िया
चली जाओ घर...."

Religious Ruminations!


Different religions have different beliefs regarding several aspects. I've always been keen about acquiring knowledge on these matters and have often had many philosophical discussions with people from other Religions. It is their religion that is Supreme and their Lord who is all-encompassing! ;) The beauty I believe lies in the art of entertaining these thoughts without being affected by it (one of my favorite quotes of Aristotle). Only then we can really come to accept what is going on with others. For it is the wise, who discuss ideas. Well, they seem to be right from their point of view. Don't they always? ;) We might know a bit more about our Religion. The vastness perhaps. But a common man might just know other people by their religion; Christian or a Muslim etc. But not the complexity that lies within their Religion.  

Christianity for example, has so many sub-sects. Not just Catholics and Protestants. Even in Catholics and Protestants there are several sub-divisions. There are Jehovah's Witnesses too. They have entirely different interpretations of the Bible. I really feel amazed by this fact, a different interpretation of the Bible has led to the sub-division of a Religion!!!! That's really huge! Some believe in having a mediator to reach God(?). Some don't. Some pray to Jesus. Some don't, for he is the Son of God and not God, who is actually Jehovah(?). JW's don't believe in pagan practices like idol worship, wearing the cross etc. unlike the other Christians. People live in their own bubble following their set of beliefs, which is good (harmless). But if you get talking with each one of them with an open mind, each one of them would seem reasonable about their belief. Pretty convincing, aren't they? ;)

I think its good to be involved with the Divine for personal gratification, but why question others' and try proving it wrong? This is where problems begin. It's always good to be involved in these spiritual affairs as it keeps us occupied in what is considered good and also keeps us from indulging in atleast what that religion calls forbidden.


Just as a candle cannot burn without fire, men cannot live without a spiritual life.- Buddha 


Humanity- the quality of being humane. Traits like compassion, generosity, sympathy, kindness, brotherly-love are encouraged and inculcated in all religions. If everybody just accepts other religions the way they are instead of trying to show their own religion as superior, there would definitely be more of world peace!

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.- Khalil Gibran 


I think it's the best to believe/ follow what your religion is following, because there is a good reason why you are meant to be a part of that bandwagon! ;)  

It's all about you and your relationship with God. :)

Stay awesome. Spread Peace! \m/
