Being reflects who you are from the soul within you . It is an inner expression of who you actually are . If one does not does not express from the level of being , then the ego comes in between and one only expressses oneself at the surface level and not from the level of being .it takes considerable amount of courage and express oneself at the being level .
In the aloneness and silence and erasing the ego completely and going deep within to my inner being I am able to be at peace within myself and accept who I am . It is then I understand that I am whole ..
Expectations from our actions in all areas of our lives always results in failure . One performs the action required and moves on .
My mother is suffering from dementia and she is at the last stage of the didease . She cannot recognize anyone even her own children and is totally bedridden . The doctors have given up . She is totally silent , however her eyes reflect her pain ans suffering she is going through . There is total acxceptance of her condition and a silent prayer to God to ease her suffering by letting her move on to the next phase of her journey . . The emptyness within is there , however would like she passes away peacefully with her suffering cut short .
My heart has been broken before for the people I loved moved away and am alone today . However over the years , the healing has taken place within and have moved on . However in today's world , the heart has been broken because of the intolerance , basic lack of humanity from one being to another and hatred which seems to be growing without no end in sight . However at the same time , the heart also seems to say , ok if all these negative vibes abounds in today's world. be unstoppable and take action and that is my intention .
Beautiful . Practise spirituality in the Here and Now . Be true to yourself .
Small graces means to do mundane things in life , like picking up trash from the foot path and throwing it in the garbage bin , hearing the birds singing as I go for my morning walk in the early hours of the dawn and connect with my inner self . Small graces mean visiting my ex wife's mother who was sick in the hospital as I wanted to connect with her and find out how she was . Small graces means being and doing things for others however trival it may be which would bring a smile on their faces and would make me happy .
Beautiful story . There is God in each one of us and it is for each one of us to be aware that God is within us all the time .
Inspirational . For me , it is seeing my great great grand father whom I had the privilege of seeing as a child . When the British ruled India , he was in the police force and he was promoted to become an Inspector in the police one of they few Indians who rose to that rank during British rule . As a child he not only took interest in my education but also taught me the meaning of integrity , compassion , empathy and love , the values which i imbibed from him as a child . today it has been my endeavor to carry forward my great great father's legacy by setting an example of my own life spreading the values which I learnt from him . there is a considerable gratitude for him for inculcating the vales I imbibed from him .
Who am I in this vast unfathomable universe , the extent of which humans have to yet to completely discover . A tiny insignificant dot , It boggles the mind . And yet man's ego is so big that he still tries to discover the source of life and play God by trying to be immortal . It is a humbling experience to dream about the universe and it's origins .
Have had my own roller coasters in life , however there is no malice , hatred or bitterness towards none , only acceptance . Moved on and this experience made me compassionate human being .
Thank you so much . So very true . What we see outside of us manifests only when the change within us takes place . This is a universal law and have experienced it in my own life . We are the creators .
Thank you for this wonderful narrative from the epic Mahabharat , ancient Indian wisdom that has withstood the test of time . For me Giving represents just give , without any agenda of my own , from the bottom of my heart and then moving on . That is it .
Thank you . Not resisting resistance for me acceptance of that moment knowing that this moment too shall pass . Change is the law of the Universe .
Love at home begins for me from the inner core of my being . That space , the silence which I connect to everyday after waking up and learn to be with myself . that is home , that is where love is for me , a candle ever burning brightly at home . .Loving myself and from here this love flows outwards to others who I connect in my life . A deep feeling of love and compassion as I move on in life .
Thank you . For me to stay awake and being broken open has been an emotional roller coaster ride which is still an on gong process . After my divorce and it's aftermath , it has been an experience where I learnt my lessons and gradually shifted my focus from the outer world to the inner world inside . Even after doing that , there have been occasions when I have slipped up in this journey , fallen down , hurt myself , got up and started walking on my journey again . i am awake and present on the path I am walking .
Sharing myself for me means that I share my inner most thoughts coming from the core of my being , they may be of my happiness , my joys or even my fears , of all the experiences I have gone through my life . while sharing am at at peace with myself and also am constantly aware while sharing of my ego . There were moments in my past , when the fear was too great , for me to share my experiences or my life , however as having been walking my path , experiencing the roller coasters in my life , learning my lessons , this fear has gradually become smaller and smaller , till it has ceased to exist and have moved on . Today I can share fearlessly and peacefully without any inhibitions .
Faith is a bird that sings
when the dawn is still dark .
By: Rabindranth Tagore .
Yes faith is to trust oneself and create within oneself the emotion which ultimately manifests on the outside . Thank you for the beautiful article .
Thank you for sharing . Made me reflect about life .
Thank you for the powerful sharing . Something for me to quietly reflect upon , implement in my life and move on .
Thks for a great post . Lots of learning . I had always been possessive of my wife , however having been seperated from her for the past years , Iam gradually learning the meaning of letting go .
As the old saying goes , when you set a bird free , if it comes back , it is yours , otherwise it never was .
Wise words. Listening to the inner voice helps me to avoid grief in my life. Thank you for sharing
Thanks a million! Just a gentle reminder to evaluate my own journey of life .
