Endearments from the Sacred Self

Always KNOW - that
I WISH YOU WELL;
And that you are
Dressed in Happiness
& very best of health;
and that the Air around you
is FILLED With my LOVE.

And that the FRAGRANCE
of my love - Nurses,
nurtures, nourishes YOU;
and be the BREATH
at your LONELY m0ments.

Know that YOU are
PERFECTLY FINE
as YOU ARE Now!
and that your world
is in order as IT IS.

Know that YOU
are in this world
as a GIFT of CREATION
and there is never an
END to the GIFTS
into your Existance.

Know that each day
and each moment
RENEWS itself anew
Fresh and Refreshed!

Know that the mind swirls
itself amidst the cycles
of recorded pasts and
remains itself like the dog
chasing its own tail!

a MERGING PATH - i with I : a Debut SONNET !

PATH.....walked by us
and TOGETHER in our palms,
our Visions in one Chorus
Our hearts in tune to the Psalms
to the distant notes melodious,
By which the Heart, wholesomely calms!

From the yonder heaven:
to Inspire, touch and grow,
harmonising the hearts in chakras seven;
amidst the ever troubled brow
Striving with illusions and delusions
of incessant Thought Formations.

Circumscribed by the Burdens of Life,
Engrossed in the unending strife.

What NOW !

intend to post some
poems & verses,
bemused musings
of day-tu-day events along,
......... as time rolls on ........

each time i sit in front of the
monitor to begin a blog,
am confronted with
gaping blank and emptiness
.... in the mindscape !

however, not before long,
i wld be swarmed with
thoughts all agog,
and me - reminded
of some of my masters & teachers
in school and college
mentioning repeatedly
i suffered from WRITER'S BLOCK!!!

And always i have
dreamt and fantasised
about WRITING! and with swirls of thoughts
shooting my head all the time.........
and the subjects and topics
themselves myraid!

words, passages engulf me,
when i walk, sit or lie down!
however, whenever i am
onto materialse them,
everything goes blank,
EMPTY and woeFULL!

That i have been able
to type the above extempore
and that too in one single flow
is in itself a wonderFULL beginning
......... dont you think so!

so, What NOW!
the MUSINGS will FLOW
On its OWN somehow
with the spring of sponteniety
unleashed and aglow - on and off!

The tendency known as SEEKING

SEEKING in itself drives one towards
ambition, greed and then lust -
Be it GOOD or WEALTH,
Self, God or social & economic ends.

Materialising either of them at any level:
eventually drowns one in AVRICE,
to move further, to gain more;
Besides, leaving one Authority-oriented.

Non-actualisation of what is SOUGHT
leaves one with Frustrations, Disappointments
and maybe- even anger, vengeance and
Leaving one Dependany-0riented.

All DUALITIES end in IMPASSEes, Stuck between
Two Haystacks for the DONKEY called EGO!

Universal Truths

Universal Truths are revealed
Through human expressions;
Intellectually, Culturally, and Spiritually
Again and again and again!

Maybe, in different words, languages,
generations and centuries. And
this process maintains a CONTINUEM
In the Eternal Nature of Creation.

What was revealed throughVedas,
Upanishads, BhagwadGeetha, the
Old and New Testaments, Khoran, et.el.,
have been repeatedly thrown LIGHT upon;
through - stories, poems, dramas,
Commentaries, critiques and Comics

And come to view it all, in almost
all activities of the humanbeings:
irrespective of the taintings of race,
religion, region, language and mores;
These TRUTHs have remained
Pure, Clear, Clean , unpolluted YET;
To be passed on to the generations after
Generations of the sea of humans!

Critical Thinking and Me!

if by Critical thinking, we mean
to be SMARTER and stregthen
our Defense Mechanisms;
then, i had rather CEASE to THINK.

Mind has to purge what has been collected
and OFTENER it happens, the better it is;
Constipation of Mind could be a serious state.

And in the process, at the EMPTIED state,
the INTUITIVE mind is allowed to surface,
the INSIGHTS drawn would NOURISH &
NURTURE all other activities of the Mind.

Critical Thinking HAPPENS on its own,
when the MIND settles down to QUIETNESS;
In a state when one becomes AWARE of
the DEPTHs and, an equilibrium established
with the ambience of HERE & NOW.

The past is viewed & reviewed
as SEEN in the PRESENT; and an
AWARNESS of WHOLESOMENESS at all levels.
Just like it all happened in the
ARCHIMIDES bathtub story, and when
NEWTON observed the apple fall &
related it with GRAVITATIONAL FORCE.

the definition as in Dictionary.com:
critical thinking - Part of Speech: n;
Definition: the mental process of actively and
skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing,
synthesizing, and evaluating information to
reach an answer or conclusion.

That would mean each and ALL mental
faculties SYNCing into 0NE UNIFIED state.
which would lead to TOTAL ABSENCE
of CONFLICTING mental activites,
to FORTiFY the energies required for the
PROCESS of Critical Thinking to FRUCTIFY.
