Loving the Unknown

We all want something, anything. Wanting means we are still alive, and as long as we stay alive, we will always want something.

Most of us, when we want something, start thinking of how to get it because if we did know how to get it, we wouldn't be thinking of it, but just go and get it.

Sometimes, we find rather quickly how to get what we want and everything is fine, but when we don't we start feeling frustration after a while, sometimes we feel also anger because we don't know how… Continue

Miles of stillness

miles of stillness

here i sit in a sort of quiet stillness

Miles is caressing

tickling my consciousness

intriguing me to listen

The soothing notes of contemplative softness

releases my pensiveness

and i sigh

there are no whys anymore

pulling at me

prodding and poking me

to engage,

i am just being

the flow

the darkness i embrace . .… Continue

love certainly

love certainly

i am conducting this pertinent search

for certainty

that i may come to terms

with this hurt in me

a place where no Sun shines

or smiles exist

where the blossoms of understanding

desists

and i know not why

i cry inside like this

you see, i see

when i look across this landscape of humanity

i see a flourishing garden of insanity

and we profane… Continue

Three Types of Pleasure from B.Gita Chapter XVIII: 37-39 -By Swami Venkatesananda

Dear All,

That which is like poison at first but in the end like nectar - that pleasure is declared to be sattvika, born of the purity of one's own mind due to self-realization.

That pleasure which arises from the contact of the sense organs with the objects, which is at first like nectar, and in the end like poison - that is declared to be rajasa.

That pleasure which at first and in the sequel is delusive of the self, arising from sleep, indolence and heedlessness…

we had fears . . .

we had fears

there are fears that we dare not admit

hidden in the womb of our denials

the pouring forth our fears and tears

lightly dressed as smiles

insecurities and our unassuredness

and our foiled construction of esteem

yet every day we awaken to a life

where we embrace such empty dreams

be it loneliness or our indifference

from the myriad of things that touch… Continue

Gingerbread Girl ...

I spent most of today decorating an 18" photocopied gingerbread design that my granddaughter brought with her this weekend. She brought it home from school about two weeks ago, but her mother never did anything with it. So when Jenny came out for her regular weekend visit, she brought it along and it is due tomorrow. Ouch ... I felt that dig right off. Over the years, being an artsy &…

THE BENEFITS OF NEGATIVE THINKING

The Benefits of Negative Thinking

By Kirk Wilkinson

No doubt you have heard how dangerous negative thinking is. Negative thinking has been blamed for all kinds of illnesses, like depression, anxiety, cancer and diabetes. Bad thoughts are also responsible for many ruined relationships and cases of drug abuse. But if negative thinking is so bad, why do we all practice it? Why are we all so good at it?

Of the approximately 60,000 thoughts… Continue

Mind - The Key to Life - Last Part By Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Dear all,

We should understand that just as the body suffers from small troubles like headache, cold, etc. to more serious ones like cancer, kidney failure, etc., so too, does the mind suffer from ill health. Our ancient Ayurvedic Texts have spoken about these. While bodily afflictions are called 'vyaadi', mental afflictions are called 'aadi'. Further, in Srimad Bhaagavatam is found a sloka that says, 'in Kali Yuga many people will be mentally afflicted.' From this, we learn that our… Continue

Mind - The Key to Life - Part I By Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

Dear all,

From time to time, Sri Sri Swamiji has been writing on topics of spiritual significance which are very much relevant in today's context.

If there is one topic that has confounded the smartest of scientists even today, it is most certainly the 'human mind' - An artifact whose nature and working has been studied and researched on since ages, and is continuing till day....

Interestingly, the mind is the key to the treasure-chest called… Continue
