Wherever You are

Just completed The Art of Silence in presence of Guruji and came up with this poem.

 

You are Hollow
And I need to Follow.
You are Full,
And I need to be Empty.

Hands busy, heart full and head empty,
One of the essence of experiencing
Hollow and Empty.

Following the Silence and
Experiencing Your Presence.
The moments spent with You
is the Life's Real essence.

The Space in between breathe
Are the moments of complete Rest.
Realization at the Earliest,
Grateful to get the best of the best.

Near, Far
Wherever You are,
The "I" in me and The "You" in You.
I belong to You,
Guruji,
You belong to me.

The Goal is Where I am

Vast like the deep Sky,
The path is very long, far and wide.

Every moment I am getting old,
Pause for 'now' and wondering, "Where is the Goal?"

The Goal is in every moment,
Balancing intelligence soaked in innocence.

Like the sun and the moon,
I being on the path, is not less than boon.

I am on a conveyer trend,
Running fast here,my dear, does not make sense.

This moment, Is "Infinite",
Guruji, You are awakening my inner light.

Peace is my innate nature,
Cannot be changed, like my signature.

My dear, my dear,
One thing I am very clear.

Guruji,
You are the goal,
And it is
Where I am.

Inspired by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar,

I am moving ahead!!!!!

I am ancient like the sun,

My wavering mind has stopped to run.

 

I am new like the moment

Past and future are no more opponent.

 

I expand like the space.

Making myself in absolute rest.

 

This “be-ing” is better than the possible best.

The bird is awaiting to fly soon from the nest.

 

I am here, you are near.

I am on a date with you my Dear.

 

Deep like the ocean and  empty like the sky.

Coolness of the moon,

Your Being here is not less than a  boon.

 

Your presence ,I am experiencing peace,

Connected in spirit and with absolute ease.

 

What else I want? What else I want?

There is light awakening the dawn.

 

Guruji!! Who are you?

Pulsating experience or the timeless wisdom.

 

In the ocean of gratitude,

You make me experience the truth.

 

I am Love, Joy and Peace,

With a little or more tinge of mischief.

 

A poem or a poet,

In your unfathomable love,

 

I am moving ahead.

I am moving ahead.

Is Life a Linear equation?

One of the question I keep on pondering is "How much life do you have in your living?". Is this special life just for the living or how much life one has in one's life. Another perspective to look at it is "Are we just a human being looking for spiritual experience or are we spiritual beings having human experiences.

Those who seem to drive anything with intellect, here is a simple linear equation for Life."(Lx)

                            Lx = Sx + C
                                               where Sx is some special constructs or spiritual aspects &
                                              C is core common constructs
                                              or basic needs( रोटी कपड़ा और मकान).

Any spiritual aspects Sx tends for an inner call of being more responsible. Relatively one who take more responsibility, their needs are obviously less and that's the basic formula for Happiness. All our spiritual aspects are inherited to be useful to others.

It is said that in order to meditate or serve , one need to have Grace(G) or the G factor. So can we say that

             Sx =f(G)

Like we have air, but we need to feel it through fan, similar we already have grace, but a Guru makes us experience the waves of grace assuming the connectivity from our end.

So life is absolutely a grace factor with a confirmed return ticket. The sooner or later we are going to drop this temporary body. Before we drop, just two questions will be asked.

#1 How much knowledge I have gained?
#2 How much love I have shared?

I believe, its also a good idea to solve some complex problems of  the cows, prisoners, villages, farmers, " Who am I? " and the society rather than just solving the linear ubiquitous problems of our life. What do you say?

Love
Jai Gurudeva!!!
 

Thoughts Of A Convict

Recently I had asked Guruji "Mujhe bhi thoda Gulal laga dijiye" and He answered "Tum to mere hi ranga me ranga gaye ho". Rest I was assured that something amazing and impactful on my way soon.

Some day the gates will open
and once more I will become free
A quest that makes me wonder
"Where I will be?"

I am fortunate enough to witness the transformation for 85 inmates who have got an inner strength to deal with the above question. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar Guruji says that "Inside every culprit, there is a victim crying for help".

We conducted the PRISON SMART at the Central Jail, Bangalore. To begin with, it was not an easy task but eventually His Grace took over. We started with a group of 77 naughty young inmates who somehow landed in the jail.

Next day they brought their friends and we were 85.The most challenging aspect was the language as I don't know Kannada but was well supported by my friend Naresh , Balaji (AOL faculty) and Subhramanium ( who is a volunteer inside the Prison). The inmates had great fun, teasing, mocking, yoga, meditation and satsang but somehow they also got to digest why we are here for.

Today when they wrote their experience, I personally had a sense of inner contentment and pride. My acceptance definitely has become better. Eventually, I realized that its definitely not about the language, but its the language of the heart and this journey is  from the head to the heart.I am still pondering on the question, Are we free too, being out of the jail?

What is there awaiting me,
When I go out of that gate?
Is there yet a chance for me,
or is it now too late?

Nevertheless, I too had a date.
The Date with the Divine.
We are committed to Spread Happiness...
