Godmen, Godwomen and other Sidekicks to God
It is sad to note how much people get fooled by those who claim to change things around by moving a few stones or drawing a few columns and by claiming to read the movement of stars and planets that they say constitute your destiny. Yes I am talking of the con artists who come [...]
Jiddu, Gurdjeiff, Awareness, Waking Sleep and some thoughts
Once Jiddu Krishnamurti was traveling in a car and Pupul jayakar and another eminent personality (whose name fails my brain now) were sitting in the back seat discussing the true meaning of awareness and conscious…and the discussion got heated with both of them opening up their knowledge boxes in response to the other. Both of [...]
Between Love and Hate there is a thin line of indifference
Though I would love to believe it is thin, I think it is more like a vast space where each and every one of us falls in at various instances in life. There are things, situations and people we love and there are those that we love to hate, but in between there are also [...]
You need to free your mind to understand what others are trying to convey
The world we see is a perception of what we think the world is. Same goes with what people say and what we take the meaning as. Our life is always a hit and miss of what we perceive a person wished to convey through their words or actions. At times we are so sure [...]
You are free to desire; but also choose from what you desire.
Desires; who does not have any, and it is what fuels people in their life. The desire to own something, the desire to have someone in your life, the desire to be famous, they come in all colors and flavors to direct our life. We reach a point when we are defined by our desires. [...]
It is your responsibility to make a difference!
It is so beautiful to see that so much can be done in life if you look at it as a complete creation of oneself. If you were to plant something, you get the joy of doing so, the relaxation and happiness of continuing to nurture it and as it grows you can be sure [...]
Goodness is the only investment that never fails
We don’t have to always be told what is good or bad, as we grow up we have a broad understanding of this. The importance is to be reminded of it quite often. Man has the habit of creating a new definition of goodness to suit his needs and this reminder is a potential check [...]
Shed the weights that makes your mind heavy
I have written before about “doing nothing” and though it sounds simple, I have also figured that it is so tough to do nothing. And by doing nothing I mean both physical and mental. Our minds and thoughts are in constant motion even when we are still. No, meditation is still not my cup of [...]
The moment you are born, you prepare to face your death; that’s the truth
Yesterday something dawned on me; how can something that is a creation of yourself become the higher consciousness that one is searching for. Creating a thought and building it to be what you have been searching for you can always find and get enlightened. So my theory of two selves can go baseless if the [...]
You should start seeing yourself from inside and not outside
I have been having this column for over two months and what started as a daily thought section has gone astray and wandered into areas that I am not sure about. Somewhere I landed on an idea that the self is not one but two, the external and the internal self, both complementing, contradicting and [...]
