A couple of days ago, I chanced upon the video of Oprah talking to Adyashanti, on her Super Soul Sunday show. The way Adyashanti was talking about living life connected with me. The word 'dignity' popped into my head. I thought about GD and how he lives. I thought about a few more people I …
Discovering who I truly am
I have known for years that the spiritual path leads to the discovery of "Who I am." Honestly, I had no clue what that really means. My mind has always assumed that the discovery of who-I-am would mean a series of mind-blowing, earth-shaking, soul uplifting experiences. Today as I sat transcribing one of my conversations …
The quest for perfection
For a few days now, I have been restless about judging my dad for something. Spirituality brings with it the awareness that judgements we have about others is usually something we judge ourselves for. But it is never easy to look at the things that make you uncomfortable, and so, for a few days now …
Water as an entity
A few days ago, a river in New Zealand was granted the status of a person. Soon, Ganga and Yamuna were granted the status of people. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/mar/21/ganges-and-yamuna-rivers-granted-same-legal-rights-as-human-beings While it remains to be seen what this decision will mean in terms of protecting the rivers, it feels like a step in the right direction. But what …
The ways of grace
In what has been a tough year, the shower of grace has been both unexpected and welcome. The body has been battered and yet there has been enough grace to see that even in the lowest moments, there has been the support of some remarkable individuals I am privileged to know. What I thought was …
Be true each moment- Sai Baba
I have been urged since a little while now to share what Sai Baba is teaching me. He asks me to write, sees me while away my time in doubt, fear, confusion and waits patiently for me to pick up the pen. Thanks to grace, I have been writing often and I know it is …
Living in Guidance
This morning, I heard one of GD's sessions that took place a couple of weeks ago. I missed that call - Living in Guidance. But the moment I heard it, I knew I couldn't have heard it sooner or later. It had to be heard at the right time. It had to hear when I …
Lessons learned in life
Recently, I have decided to write from a space where my mind, interferes as little as possible in the process. The intention is to be open to receiving whatever lessons the universe chooses for me to receive. After a long time of struggling and operating from the ego, I can finally feel the presence of …
Laws of 20 minutes
Is it possible to move beyond the mind? I look around me at my family and friends, and feel no. How earth do ‘I’ ever do it? Then I look at my teacher GD, my god Sai Baba, all the spiritual teachers across the earth, and I feel this peace, this possibility emerge inside. ‘Of …
Embracing Change (EFT Script)
One of my readers wrote in requesting for an EFT script to cope with change. So before I share the script I wrote in response to that request, I felt it relevant to share one my recent poems from FB here:
Sometimes we pretend to ourselves
That we are waiting for someone or something
That everlasting joy will be ours then.
But, the truth is our happiness is here.
And we don’t really want anything to change
Neither us, nor our circumstance.
For with all that we want
to run from
There is also much
That which we don’t wish to end.
It is like that in a dualistic world.
Light and darkness
Always go hand in hand.
The truth is that our motivations and interests are often conflicting and or confused. Hence, this script begins from that internal push and pull, and then move towards a greater ease and…
