ONE


    I strongly feel that the education demands a change from the existing system. Here I want to address the problem of data explosion. It has been foolish to accommodate more and more knowledge in the curriculum.
    Students should be driven by interest and passion, not by competition or performance. Children should learn in their journey, what they are interested to do in their lives. We should have a world that gives true education. In today’s system we have many flaws. Like, we must have read about a lot of things, but how much do we really retain and apply in our lives. For example, I am a computer science and engineering student. I have taken many courses since I was a kid. The fact is that I don’t remember most of what I studied.
    We don’t want a large number of engineers or scientists for making things better. We only need a persistent attitude on how we can make our lives better. Days are passing by, but how many of us observe the changes we are undergoing. How many of us understand where our strengths lie. I think we should not be complaining on the state of the present world. Instead we can do something qualitative to direct our energies and efforts towards triggering something good.
    I believe that life is all about experiencing change. It makes us strong and also gives us the wisdom of what we are and what this journey means to us. We are different from one another, but remember, we stand as ONE!!

It's a Simple World..


We learn from the society that we have to be responsible. We should be responsible in fulfilling our duties and taking good care of our loved ones. All that we remember about ourselves is physical. We work every day with the intent of building a good personality which is acknowledgeable by the society.
A small child is pleasant and joyous. He has no responsibilities. The trees live naturally. It is not their responsibility to purify the air or hold the earth together. It’s a part of their natural living. For us working is natural. Having food is natural. We share this space on earth for living together. It’s all basic living. In the same way we get emotional, we fall in love, we become angry and this is all defined naturally in the life of man. Moreover we have designed lifestyles and mannerisms for living together. Hence it is evident that the world today was built through a natural thought process for sustaining our race with stability and balance retained in nature.
Today we witness complications in life. We seem to understand more than our ancestors. We understand compromises, fears, differences, profits and many more which are less natural for the mind. In a way we call this knowledge, wisdom or even intelligence in the process of evolution.  We try to gear up to stand first in the queue. In this race between ourselves we have lost the concept of goal and purpose in our lives.
We started living without the common awareness of what we want from our lives. If a person starts running in one direction, our immediate thought is to run faster than him in the same direction. In this way we are living without a goal in life. We called this competition. Initially we defined concepts for sustaining a peaceful living in this world. But today we define our lifestyles for sustaining the concepts we defined earlier, even if they are inapplicable to the present. If we continue to attach strings in this way, we will be no different from the puppets in a puppet show.
Finally I want to say that it’s a simple world and there are no strings attached...

Boredom Detached

    Talks with Aditya Varma: The essence of the talk is to try something new in life. It is about the trust we should lay on ‘Change’. We should experiment new things to explore the hidden talents in us. In the process we’ll learn.
    Investing on the routine things of life, isn’t interesting anymore, please realize. What you miss out in the routine thinking is something worth more than anything in life. There is no fun in visiting the same place again and again. It’s the freshness of a new place that brings us joy and excitement in the journey of life.
    Opening the doors to the unknown isn’t always easy. But once we start the practice of exploring into the details of life, we realize the colors which we never knew had existed previously. So, let’s record what we observe and then sketch out what’s new in the things we have done.

Tears..


    There are still tears in my eyes and today I wonder why.. I am sensitive and I don’t know what makes me cry. It’s all emotional but the only enquiry I hold is why??
    I don’t have reasons. The best part of it lies in the source that brings this creation to the stage. The gap between the bodies I hold and me is still not clear. I may exhibit many emotions, but there’s something I am looking for which exists beyond the visible. What appears right to me may remain a conception, and the only beauty that exists lies in witnessing it.
    All this knowledge leaves a person with the honorable designation of an actor. We can also call ourselves liars, if that sounds better. The only practice that life offers me, is now wet with tears. I call it sorrow which is but laughable for others. When they cry it’s me who laughs. However I want to question the validity of the happenings. There’s still a gap that I witness which differentiates me from all the pain I experience.
    Life isn’t the truth!! This is what I feel. It isn’t even close to something like that. What we see in this world is nothing but our own selves. So, what are you making fun of??
    I am in love with these words which come through me. It helps me dissipate the energy that builds out of emotions. It is the sadness today and the anger tomorrow, but I still question…
HOW DOES IT MATTER??

It's Precious


    I have some energy. I manage it wisely. Every activity takes some of it, but soon after we sleep, we are ready to get more of it. What do you think about energy?  If you ask me, I would say I would grab it as much as I can. But what about the uncertainty with which we lead our lives..
    I don’t know how much it takes to experience the next situation. I guess this scenario of not knowing is quite natural in this planet. Now, let’s talk about the dissipation of energy. Just think how much of it is under your control. If I am right, it asks for your awareness while carrying on with your daily activities. ...I know I can’t ask for more.
    Once you start this practice, your concentration improves. You’ll come to know about your improvements once your observation improves. Oh! It’s now chaining up.. So what’s next?
    It’s now that we embark on a journey towards the unknowing. We begin our experiences with the new steps we take. We sense the aesthetic. But all I can assure you is that, it’s not over yet.
    Our understanding of what we perceive reaches a new level. It’ll be a new platform from where we do our activities. The world has been there for ages, but it’s now that the time has come to kindle our lives. Never before has there been such beauty in the world around. So, what has changed?
    When I took my debut in this new level, I was excited, and after all these years of persistence, I can say that I am now joyous. Now it’s your turn to write, learn or experience, as you now have the one precious thing – Your Life!!

The Defying ISNESS..


    This article is dedicated to the one who believes that there is NO END. Yes it is dedicated to the writer of this article, ADITYA HIRAN.
    For, he lives as though  he is living around his physical self more than he does in the physical. As far as I know, from the worldly definitions, he is a human being. But his style is different.
    He knows that life is a choice but still stands out of choosing the reality. He believes that choosing something is equally biased in life as there is judgment. Being intellectually tuned as a realized soul, he stays out of it.
    As he sinks into the eternity, he honors himself by saying that suffering is out of his life. Let me explain his perspective, he believes that nothing is created unless we create it. And now, this holds for “Suffering” as well.
Hence his life is a joyous song, conveying the truth that there is NO END, as all is Eternal!!

MINGLED VIBES

    This brings forth a whole new perspective of handling vibes in the journey of life. Let's understand vibes as a culmination of thoughts, emotions and intentions we create. Referring to this idea, Man seems to work on handling these vibes as long as his material conceptions do not collapse.
    In similar lines power is defined sometimes as the ability to handle vibes. Even after witnessing a whole lot of coincidences and happenings which are never expected, people still seem to believe in this fallacy called power, in which man imagines himself standing and stabilizing these vibes. So at the end of the day if we question ourselves on our achievements, we find our own ways to defend our own selves. If we dare to look into ourselves even after all this we understand 'Why a bad carpenter blames his tools.'
    Associating with the eternity, it may be true to call life as suffering, but it should be well understood that it is we who create this suffering. Coming to the vibes, they needn't be handled but need to be controlled in the first place while being created.

1st Noble Truth: Life is suffering. (Ref: Buddha's Eightfold Path)
2nd Noble Truth: You create your own reality. (Ref: Brahmarshi Patriji's Talks, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne or well known as The Law of Attraction).
Inference: Have a check on what you create before calling life a suffering.

INNER PEACE

    On being asked by my friend, I am writing this article. It is about inner peace. If you believe this article to be the answer, it will surely be.
    At some point of time each and everyone of us arrive at this quest. But having a question in mind is not enough. Moreover it is very different from embarking an exploration towards inner peace. When there is enough strength in you to be persistent in your quest, it is only then that your journey is said to have begun.
    What does it take to begin this journey? The answer I give is "You"!!
    Is there a way to know what we really are? I give a Yes Yes to the question. For further clarity I would like to mention ways to satiate your materialism. We believe ourselves to be physical entities which is a conception in the first place. We tend to believe in what we see which needn't be the truth always. For the dictionary to hold a word that can explain this exploration of the self, we have the term MEDITATION.
    What is meditation and how do we practise it? Meditation is a "NO-THOUGHT" state. To achieve this state we inculcate a practice called ANAPANASATI. This practice was first given by the Buddha. It is a simple practice yet so powerful.
    Anapanasati means "To be with the in-breathe and the out-breathe". Closing our eyes and practising this technique gives a revelation of what we are looking for.
    Over time, we come to an understanding that there are no questions. We realize that our questions were never needed. The vitality of living in the present is understood and experienced.
    Hence Inner Peace is said to have been found.

Through the Basics


    In the ‘Now’ of time, let’s introduce the reader to the journey that absorbs the benefits from sheer exploration of the self. Let this be a key to the door of unresolved miseries.
    Life has started. Every co-ordinate in the limits of birth and death has to be experienced. The time has come to start the exploration that pulls the roots of knowledge. We term it as the process of learning. Life can be perceived from the two dimensions i.e. the limitations and the esoteric.
    Let us understand limitations as the human characteristics that are responsible for the disturbances in life. These stand against the natural existence of a human being.
    Relevant to the present context let us talk of Energy. It is defined as the capacity to do work. Behind every activity there is this requirement called energy.
    The disturbances imposed by the human limitations can be moderated with the help of energy. For example patience requires energy. The chances of getting irritated are high when a person is exhausted. But this relation may not hold in all cases. That is eating food which is believed to be the source of energy need not calm down the irritated man. So this puts us back into the search that can satiate man in the realms of life.
    Thinking of the energy and the art, that can bring peace to life’s continuing disturbances help us arrive at a practice called MEDITATION.
    Through meditation we find inner peace. It also helps in dissolving the limitations and touching the esoteric. Finally we get associated with the cosmic energy that leaves us complete without any requirements attached.

The Theory Behind CHANGE


    The validity of change remains an argument in this plane. Its nature is bold and promising when witnessed. But many argue from the other side of the view. So the truth is.. what?
    Is this a question of many disheartened souls, tired exploring over life’s deepest truths? Let us find out through this medium, of words.
    From my experience I believe in the philosophy of change. To put down in words, change can be defined as a process of melting beliefs. With time and effort, rigidity establishes itself in the way life is led in this plane. Some term it as ego. Now when the space is occupied with such beliefs, it is then that an opportunity is born, to break it...
    Breaking the rigidity, associates the self with the emotional experience that the present offers. Not so easy is the immediate next, for someone who is on the onset. It is but a spec in the journey of life that offers such magic in the form of a situation. Critical are its operations over mind. At the expense of energy, it takes a lot of courage for designing happenings such as these that lead to Change.
    Much energy is consumed. Now if there is still something remaining to continue in the direction offered, then we talk of the change that is witnessed. So I call it rare and valuable. But it is a choice left to us, to witness it as it is. Again to do so require a broken man or a man with the rigidity dissolved.

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...

Ambitious

    A little curiosity has popped in, towards observing life. Watching the river flow has been my daily routine though not in stringent terms. Peace has been a natural phenomenon as I go ahead experiencing the sounds of silence.
    Stepping out of this paradise is the reality that we create. First we split the world into two, setting ambitions. Each moment we take out time to define destiny in terms of these ambitions. The routine in the walk of life adds the flavor called 'Faith'. The hand behind all this creation is not remembered anymore. But the thought put into it has now strengthened and takes the name 'Belief'. We now believe in ourselves, and trust the power behind such spirited existence. Occupied with the vibes of fury, we start witnessing emotions.
    This battle of ours, continues till the day when the second world comes into sight. Slowing down in pace, we watch the reality it offers. It is then that we realize what we have created.
- The Compromise...

The Cycle Above..

    Today I urge to find the reason of my birth. Why did I come to this place, calling my visit "Life". I am not free, I am travelling with my luggage. Taking burden on my shoulders, I make each step, adding a new thing to my luggage. It's only becoming more and more difficult to travel and it is then that I halt carrying the mask of agony, searching for peace.
    Observations, understandings, love, wisdom, realizations, emotions and feelings are all a part of my luggage. Everything that seems to be mine including my own self is my luggage. Adding a new thing adds burden that has to be carried along. Hence, life is suffering. Trying to explore the truth beyond this luggage can help us identify the "Is". Starting a new journey with the luggage left behind, defines the path as the Isness. Liberation as it is called, allows the dissolving to happen. Here it is, that exists after dissolving, "the Anti-Matter".
    Putting colors to it forms the matter. With this and many other characteristics as its first luggage, it again makes the Visit...

emotional FIRE!!


                  And the Message it Conveyed..
    Today there is an ignition. A change there is, in the direction and focus of energy. The dawdle is over with the coming of new legs. It is now a vision beyond light that defines my path. There’s fire in each step that persists forever, vaporizing the identity I carried.
    The exercise has started to experience power. There hasn’t been a moment more auspicious than “now”, to project the inner power. It is now an intent to be determined in every breath. The love for aggression and the disciplined passion comes in sync with the frequency that determines the flow of life. Magic exists and now it is witnessed for the eye has opened. The change has come sparkling with an intent to remind our eternal existence.
    The transformed existence is still here, in the present consciousness adding one more impression to the cumulative self, thus exploring a new dimension. Hence it is the new look that is on the onset and here we are, ready to capture the experience as it comes.

A Notification from it's life-let's talk

 Let's discuss something on "Purpose of our life". You are free to
speak. But remember the intent of participating in this discussion is
to explore the depths of our own lives. In this process we can help
ourselves discover each truth on the path of realizing what we really
are.
   Let's hope that this discussion goes forward in identifying our
purpose for leading this life. Who knows, this can very well open the
doors of a brand new life, defining new perspectives and ambitions
that can play its part in transforming this world towards positivity.
We'll take our time to contemplate on each of these topics and discuss
with the right intent.
   May be the light is right here, lets figure it out by stepping
into it. It's a journey that can radiate wisdom in every word we
speak. Let's utilize this step to make a shift in the consciousness
that we now define.

The 2 Worlds..


Rightly I take the stage to speak,

There are two worlds..
One is the world of expectation,
And two is the reality!!

There’s one modification that I would like to make,
But remember, it’s not out of frustration that I speak.

There are two worlds..
One is the world of expectation,
And two is the illusion!!!

WISDOM THROUGH MY FIRST ARTICLE…


A DETAIL ON DESIRE
    Out of observation comes this writing amidst all my interests. What surrounds me in this moment of present is a whirlwind of desires. Desires as a term when derived further can be called as the source of all disturbances which is simply ‘the thought’. Arising from an attachment towards a thing, a thought can be thought of as a means of dissipating energy. This process which seems quite unnecessary in its action only occurs when the consciousness is blinded.
    Considering the truths of life as “Nothing lasts forever”, the origin of thought with respect to a desire gives a clear indication of the invalid assumptions with which life is led. Taking direction towards such a fallacy has been the reality of many lives for a simple reason of maintaining desire. Realizing this truth doesn’t make up for the awaited enlightenment in its wholesome. Rather it can only be called as enlightenment of an impression of the self. Inferring from the concept of “A static world” where time isn’t linear, the model of the world can be visualized as consisting of many impressions of the self, each existing simultaneously in separate times of reality. Under the light of such a model, where self is defined as a conglomerate of these impressions, it can be said that realization should be a part of the awareness, that envelopes the self of every moment in life. Only then can the fluctuating waves of the thoughts be stabilized, bringing peace to this life of ours.
    Focusing on the truth that we are, defines a way of extinguishing the desirous instability which lingers around the conscious self. This practice of being with the self brings the necessary change in us which gets reflected in the world we see. It is this realization that energizes the process of materialization of a world that we dream to build. Hence, living in the present is the only way to keep out of desires.

The World I See: A Vision


    In this article I needn’t restrict myself to anything, may it be a rule or a discipline. I can write the way I wish to. There is no influence of fear or desire. Without restraint, this writing takes form solely because of my interest, and hence the beautiful composition…
    Where there is no condition, life seems simple. It is worth witnessing the aesthetic beauty of such simplicity. Leaving aside the beauty that this kind of life brings, there is more to be noted.  The condition less world stands as a symbol of freedom. Under such openness the world takes a leap forward in the living conditions and defines existence through joy and rapture rather than the fight for survival. In this world, each life embarks a journey towards the truth. Life becomes an expression of love. Here work is driven by interest. Therefore the scope of innovation amplifies in all fields of study. A parallel evolvement of all life forms becomes possible in this place which serves as a great scaffold for practicality as well as spirituality. Learning becomes natural and creativity becomes offhand irrespective of the difficulty in the tasks. This world will offer wisdom and transform each and everyone to become a part of the flow that life is… 
    This new world which many of us visualize today will make us live like souls and not like bodies. The fearlessness emanating from these free souls will therefore energize the space around, expanding the consciousness to resolve all differences of the present existence. Enlightenment becomes a natural phenomenon and exists in the atmosphere of this new world where all grand happenings appear natural in there very occurrences.

The Dialogue: Me, Myself & I

      Having squeezed my heart out, for the words that could express my feelings, I wrote many letters to the one whom I call the candle. I felt very bad, finding myself left out without a response...
      I stopped writing, but my contemplation continued. It continued and led me into the ether filled vacuum we call the space. The space that exists when you close your eyes. Being a witness, I understood the indifference I created through my mistakes. Feeling the importance of transformation from a "Bogi to a Yogi", I was blinded with the ego of self knowledge. It is the same knowledge which left me in ruins. These constructs that are related to the present psyche of me were supposed to fade away like the dusts of the wind. This could be called cleansing which is a direct outcome of "Realization"...
      Today, I dared to explore the faulty stupidities hidden deep inside me. For a reason like this, I started a dialogue between "me, myself and I" so as to determine the true ignorance contained in me that has left me unanswered in a situation filled with immense sensitive emotions that mapped my feelings of the present.

My Life's story as narrated by Osho

The following article is an excerpt from the book "Zen and the Art of Living - by Osho" which closely resembles the present situations in my present life.. (Please note that "the master" in this excerpt is treated as a man but it can be anything).
    "Surrender means: you have lived through the ego and you have seen the futility of it, you have seen the utter misery of it. You have lived through the ego and you know that you have not been able to live through it. It does not allow you to live, because it does not allow you any expansion. It makes you smaller and smaller and smaller; it encages you deeper and deeper. It puts you into a windowless state, all openings disappear. You start living in kind of grave. To surrender means to see this! and then to find a person with whom it will be easier to say yes, a person who has had a glimpse of the real man and to whom love has happened, who has become love.
    If you can find a man with whom you can say yes easily, you have found your master. This is the criterion for how one has to decide that one has come across a master; if you can say yes easily, simply, innocently. The presence of the man makes you feel to say yes. No becomes difficult--even if you want to say no out of old habit and structure, you hesitate, you find it hard to say. And yes comes easy, like a flood. And whenever you say yes, great joy arises; and whenever you say no, you feel great misery, as if you have harmed yourself.
    Whenever you have found a person with whom this starts happening, you have found the master. Then forget about the whole world, what they say about the master! You have found the master. He may not be the master for others, but he is the master for you. Disappear into him.
    In that surrender, the ego disappears. Not that in that surrender you become a slave to the master--there is nobody to make you a slave. In fact, because there was nobody to make you a slave, that's why you were feeling so beautiful in saying yes to the man. If there was somebody to make you a slave you would have naturally felt it impossible to say yes. His ego would have offended your ego. There is a subtle interaction between egos.
    If the man has helped you to surrender, that simply means that there was nobody to offend you. There was pure love, there was nobody trying to possess you. You were not being cowed down. And once you have surrendered the ego, you will be surprised that there is nobody to take possession of you--the ego has disappeared. The master and the surrender was just a device. You have attained to primal innocence. Now you can move on your own.
  When the master sees that you have surrendered totally he makes you absolutely free. He says, "Now there is no need, now there is no question of surrender." Once surrendered, then there is no need for any surrender. The need for surrender is because of the ego--once the disease has disappeared, the medicine has to be thrown. The master takes it himself.
    And then you are free of ego and also free of egolessness. That's what Ikkyu calls real emptiness: you are empty of everything and empty of emptiness too. Ego has gone and egolessness has also gone. Now there is nobody...absolute nothingness. And the purity of it and the benediction of it are such that if you don't taste it in this life, you have wasted it again."

THE INSPIRING...

    Writing from the platform where stories are lives, tears and smiles both reflecting emotions of similar intensities, let us study this magical mystical world. It’s the world we know through the picture given by our senses. The place it is, for the legend and the teachings coming through it, bringing the belief that “a system exists”…
    Truth alone triumphs isn’t a reality of this world, but it is a belief beyond reality. Only a belief it is, but powerful of transforming the impossible into today’s reality!!
    Keeping the inspiring light of the candle in mind, the world may be realized as more beautiful with the great eye that is watching it. The light of the candle, “The Inspiring”, may show the path,and become the guiding light in one story of this world. But not true in any sense is the fact that the light belongs to only that story. An amazing little creature being the hero of that story tries to fight for this light to establish his rights over it. The reasons behind his fight may seem meaningful. The hero truly wants this light to be a part of his life. There is sincerity in his actions and purpose defined in his life. The goal is set and is set with the right positive intent.
    But what lies invisible in this story is the Satya, the universal truth that speaks of “the existence as the oneness” where the little character has always been one with the light (part of the light).

?...

When there is a chance to win
And when there is a goal, set to win
There is still one question unanswered
Where is the need to win...

The struggle for the riches of life is masking us from realizing the TRUTH.

What is it to win?? What is the real success in this illustrious world? Why all these situations and why all these morals and lessons being taught in each phase of life? What is love and why is there a necessity to have a goal when you are in love? Whose plan is this to have the happenings in life? What is the purpose behind the continuity of life?

Why is there a birth and why is the death? Why is it to have a question and why is there a need to have an answer? Why are there too many things to think about? Why is it that there is a belief system and why is it that some don’t believe in it? Why is it that there is something correct and why is it that there is something incorrect?

why do we have the eyes
but cannot see
why do we have the ears
but cannot listen
why are we born 
when we cannot find the reason

FEAR

    THE OPPOSING FORCE

    The eyes have become red, looking aweful to represent the hidden sorrow that the world has brought. The heart is beating with pain and the breathe not in its natural flow, each action trying to contemplate what has happened. It’s not the usual state to get back to the normal routine, atleast from the mind’s perspective.
 
    It is not a new problem that life has brought, that is causing this unrecognized state of awefulness. The reason is not sorrow. Reminding ourselves of the warriors living in the inner places of the self, it is now a belief that the reason for this suffering is not sorrow. Only when the true reason behind this beautiful state is determined, peace can be reestablished. Energizing on the basics of the nature of the true selves, it is only an urge to struggle for the freedom from the ruins of unhappiness.
 
    When there is a problem in life, it is believed that the solution to the problem also exists in the same life. Not wrong in an understanding of this kind, the steps are being made in the light of perseverance. Each step towards the dawn of impossibility seems that the journey is against the will and wish of all the people around. But it is the voice coming from the inside that makes the judgement, confirming that all these people are wrong. Blending into their opinions to see the platform from which they are speaking, it can now be understood that the real force which makes the people’s advices or suggestions comes from the ponds of negativity arising from the roots of an opposition. The opposition is called FEAR.

Live it!
Until you understand that you are still alive…
Strive to win over it!!
Until you understand fearlessness as a state, that is still alive…

My Spiritual Side...

 Introducing Myself AS…

    The one thing which I was told that belongs to me in this world, and lasts till the last beat of my physical existence is my name, I am Aditya Hiran. It has been my name and the proof of my existence. It’s my identity in this world. To talk about the background from which I write this article I take the pleasure of presenting you the dancing letters and words that describe my life.

    I am a 21 year old student doing my engineering. I was brought up in a family, which not only stood as a firm support in every situation of my life but also cleared the grounds to start a good spiritual side to my existing everyday routine. My father’s name is Parades Naidu and my mother’s name is Atchutamba. Before starting with my write-up let me give a short sketch up on the design of my life.

    It was my fortunate beginning to start my life in the light of humbleness. I was calm in the days which seem to be my past. It always seemed as if I kept myself occupied with something or the other in the order of life. By nature I was not very active, may it be in the school, college or in the house. Patience was a word commonly used in the time of praising me but words like smartness were pointed out in my life as areas where I need to improve. Everything in life was quite naturally flowing but never did I bother to stop and observe what life is, or what drama it brings. The actual state which I hold responsible for showing me the true self in the process of revealing the life’s little truths, one at a time is the state of meditation. I started the practice of Anapanasati meditation from the age of 13. At first my practice used to be limited. I used to practice meditation for improving my concentration and my performance in academics. The reason and the intent behind practicing this art of meditation may seem to be small and humble, but on being asked today I can confidently say that it was the right step in the journey of my life.
  
    The real interest towards practicing meditation first started in April, 2007 when I have attended a three-day workshop in Bheemavaram. The class was conducted by Mr. Raghava Rao. The workshop was focused on the concept “Atma”. It brought in interest and the practice of meditation during the workshop was plenty. This workshop has been a pretty good motivating factor to step into the field of spirituality. But this interest towards the science of spirituality was even more strengthened when I have attended the class of Brahmarshi Subhash Patriji during the Buddha Poornima Celebrations in May, 2007 at The Pyramid Valley, Bengaluru. My participation in this celebration was a beautiful experience which strengthened my interest and involvement in Anapanasati meditation.
  
    My interest paved way for an attitude shift towards spirituality. Naturally I adapted myself to vegetarianism. Practicing meditation, reading good spiritual books and participating in spiritual discussions have become the hobbies in my life. The doors were now open for the energy to flow into me. My observation in my daily activities improved. The understanding of The Self has started taking roots with life becoming more and more peaceful. The calmness in life brought stability in the everyday situations. Life became joyous.

    In the later phases of life, diary writing has become my habit. It helped me to study my own self and the situations of life. My observation and concentration gained through the practice of meditation helped me explore the hidden creativity in the self and in the air around. Life has become a field of interest and entertainment. My diary writing has transformed into article writing. These articles of mine are written and it’s just fun to write. The concepts or the writing is not something which is planned and written. It is written with contemplation. Each and every word is just fun and magic. It now feels like life includes training and testing of our own selves but it’s just meditative in its every instance, throwing light on the eternal design and the play…

Speed : An Illusion !!

SPEED WITNESSED…
FROM A NEW FRAME OF DIMENSION

    In the existence where I stand, I see that I slowed down the metabolism of my life. The breathe had slowed down and the actions moved with a pace which was not my own. This stillness in the middle of the waves left me in silence, in peace, to witness “WHAT IS”.
    From the middle of a pool, which plays the slowness, comes to surface the understanding of the true speed. The same speed which is now out, into a world that has no definition for time. It is the conception that has changed. Speed, from being a property of us has become the property of nature. It is a generalization rather than a change in the belief. Only when the perception agrees that the self is a part of nature with no line to discriminate between the two, will the speed be witnessed from the true light of existence.
    This dissolving into the nature places us in a lonely place of divine dimensionality, where “MATTER DOESN’T MATTER”.

It’s an existence..
Beyond materialization!
The energy, it is..
Of the Light Form!
Which is the true self..
Defined in the space of Nothingness!!

Love

    This is not an article I am writing, it’s the story of one legendary figure who lived in my time. Yes, it is the story of ADITYA HIRAN…
    My life is legendary, with my identity being “A Legend”. True in this reality, is the existence of the legend who lives in me and also around me. All the happenings of my life are far more beautiful than those desires which existed in my past. This path of mine, filled with rose petals is not my creation. It is still the divine glory of this legend that calls itself the decider of paths. The presence of this divine spec of eternal consciousness which I call The Legend, is witnessed, not in magical times decided by fate, but at the instant when the inner me is witnessed.
    This realization of the legendary self, is but natural in the journey of life. It is the medium of my existence which is responsible for showcasing The Legend in my life. Though it is viscous, dense and thick, the medium is still so beautiful for a life’s journey.
    This medium as you all know, is called

Love
     The Light Of Life!!

Note:The Article you have just read, is written from the grounds of humbleness. If you dont find it humble, it means you have to read it again!!

THE STATIC WORLD : A Place Where The Flying Desires Landed!!

    In the substance of noise we understand the substance of silence. From the similar lines of reality, I continue to explore the true substance of the self. This journey towards the inner still appears beautiful and glorious, with every phase filled with new and satisfying accomplishments…
    It is in the reality called “Now” that I have a chance to question and know the true form of the happening. Immersed in this reality, the perception now believes that the plane called existence is static. This isn’t the nature of the world but is that of the self. It is not the clock that has stopped. It is the thought that has halted. The reflection of the self which was once a wanderer has now come to rest, signing off from instability, and walking into peace.
    The desireless state which was once considered an achievement now disappeared. The space of the self carrying the nothingness, helped in dissolving each accomplishment into the reality called “Now”. The doors are now open to enter a state that is truly meditative!!
 
Setting the Light of Fire
We are no more a Lier !!

Knowing that our Desire…
Is something that we already Hire!!!

Note: "We" here is singular representing the self..

See What The Candle Is...

THE CANDLE : A STORY FROM THE MIRRORED WORLD…

                In the time of an imaginary existence of mine, there was a new happening unleashing a different feeling and experience in my everyday life. I named it as the discovery of a new world. Naming this world was a privilege given to me. It was a different world, and I called it “The Mirrored World”. Each and every object in this world resembled nothing but a mirror. All these mirrors and their reflections expressed a language of nothingness in their very existence. This existence was divine and undisturbed until one day, when a new character entered this world…
                Having put his first steps in this world, he found a beautiful white candle. The light of the candle was inspiring. Realizing this he walked towards the candle with utmost excitement. He felt enticed and enjoyed its presence in every step. Now that he came very close to the candle, he could hear his heart beating steadily. He wanted to touch this amazing little object which proved to be the ultimate source of light in this world. But all of a sudden his excitement came to a halt when he touched it. What appeared a candle wasn’t an object but was just a reflection in the mirror. The very next instant he became confused. Now with the passage of time, he slowly started contemplating about the candle…
                He remained with his eyes closed for a considerable amount of time. It seemed as though the whole universe was waiting for him to open his eyes. All the waiting had finally come to an end when he opened his eyes. There was a distinct spark of awareness in his eyes. Carrying the glow in his words he then revealed the all awaited truth about the candle in a single phrase…

                        “ What I had seen in the mirror,
                                                  Was my own True Self ”

At a different place, but still in love with the candle


THE REFLECTION…


    With the new air around, I recognize myself to be a part of a new place. The place which makes me feel the core of a new beginning, in the phases of life…

    The office and work brings to the fore, a new AVATAR of the self. It’s a new EYE that brings a distinction in the definition of the world. Perceiving the new blossoms of the world, brings an understanding of the life’s journey. A JOURNEY, INTO THE LIGHT…
    This witnessed travelling means a lot more than just the steps I make…

It means EXPERIENCE…
    THE EXPERIENCE OF JOY!!


     Understanding the space of the self as unlimited, this experience reflects the colors of the existence. These colors, perceived as part of the world, now represent the LIFE FORCE, even in the presence of NOTHINGNESS.

The ice has melted
It has vaporized
To reach the distances
Far Away…

Only to feel
The touch of the candle
Which has shown me
The Way!!

THE LITTLE TRUTHS OF LIFE


Personal


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.
