What is prayer?

As I was planning and discussing my next program on ‘Redefining Prayer’ with my 16 year old, he asked me to define prayer for him. It made me pause. I realised how difficult it is to say what prayer means. Two years ago, I had wanted to write a book on prayer traditions from aroundContinueContinue reading “What is prayer?”

The reason to heal.

There is a reason we need healing. This reason is deeply personal to each of us. Some want it for the body. Some want it for the mind. But, everyone wants to feel whole. Like there is nothing missing in who we believe and feel is ‘me’. For decades, I wanted healing for my anxietyContinueContinue reading “The reason to heal.”

❤️ I am only here to be truly helpful❤️

From the past few years the role of a seeker has been the predominant identity I wear in front of the world. Does this mean I am an enlightened one? Far from it!

Lesson 141: My Mind holds only what I think with God

Let me tell you a story. It is not an unusual tale but quite a commonly told one. You could ask “why anyone should read a story that has been said many times before,” but bear with me. This is a story that needs to be said again and again, till you believe it. ItContinueContinue reading “Lesson 141: My Mind holds only what I think with God”

Lesson 35: My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.

Dear God, I have come to this Holy city to atone for my sins. I have come here to lose myself and find you. My list of wrong doings runs long. I see myself as a mean person. I see myself as a selfish person. I see myself as uncharitable. I see myself as needyContinueContinue reading “Lesson 35: My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy.”

Lesson 30: God is in everything I see because God is in my mind

Looking at the cut on my leg, I couldn’t help but feel anxious. It was bleeding profusely. I would need a tetanus shot. God, I hated injections. Sara walked in echoing my thoughts. “Oh dear! How did you cut your leg! You are bleeding all over the floor!” She ran to get the first aidContinueContinue reading “Lesson 30: God is in everything I see because God is in my mind”

Of Special Relationships and Oneness

Baba:- On the topic of special relationships, wanting specialness and belonging, I want you to understand that when I said you are not special, but you are all special to me, I also meant ‘you all belong to me, God.’ Everyone belongs to me. If you look deeper, you will see that all times, theContinueContinue reading “Of Special Relationships and Oneness”

A short-story on faith for World Story-telling Day

Returning to Krishna Usha looked at the clock. It was not yet 5. Sliding off the bed, careful not to wake up Ravi, she walked to the bathroom. The door creaked a bit as she opened it, but Ravi slept on, blissfully unaware of anything. She wondered how he could be so peaceful all theContinueContinue reading “A short-story on faith for World Story-telling Day”

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 IContinueContinue reading “Living in Guidance”
