In Search of Truth

    This is not me. Running behind things is not my way of living. If my present is occupied by someone who is not me, then my life remains an experience. I don't want to choose this kind of life, with many precious moment being wasted as experiences. I want to be with my self. I want to be with the Truth that I am, and hence I choose...
    The reason behind all this confusion was the expectation I carried. I was in search of truth. When I failed to find the truth in one job, I changed to a different platform. Being fickle as it appears, was only a disguise. Not anymore do I need to run, as I now believe that the truth lies in the inner world and not in the world outside. Experiences were good in that, they show the path not to be taken. They show things not to be attached to. The journey into the inner has begun long ago, but there was a deficit in the strength required to commence the journey.
    The time as it is said has come, to start from where I have left. It takes huge devotion to continue in time and the term used to describe this Isness is...
Sadhana
 The Practice

REALIZE, REINVENT…
THE LITTLE TRUTHS OF LIFE

Recollecting the happenings in my life, let me write this beautiful story. One day I entered a room, which was filled with darkness that seemed unlimited in all its dimensions. Nothing was visible. I stayed and lived in the place where anger, frustration and tears had no meaning. There was no one to listen or speak to. With the dreadful darkness around me the only companions were the hopeless, weak thoughts.
Suddenly there was a feeling of hope taking roots from where I am, when I found a candle. It seemed as though the strength of my emotion touched the plane of the heavens, which brought help. Now, with the candle lighted I was reassured that the nature was helping me. For once I adored, respected and fell in love with the candle which showed me the world. I could now enjoy every bit of my existence as the room was filled with exquisitely beautiful things. There were no more thoughts but only pure happiness and joy that ruled my kingdom of life. The candle now appeared as God. It felt as though there was nothing more beautiful and lovely than this candle that I respect the most.
In this mesmerizing flow of events, there was one thing that I forgot. I forgot that the candle cannot last for long and its existence on this plane is temporary. When I became aware of this little truth, I understood that even my existence on this wondrous plane was temporary. And before the candle has left me, it is me who is leaving the candle. This walk into a new room may bring many more surprises and the candle remains a memory in this illusory story of existence.
