Let your skills connect you to the Divine

I always felt my creativity was mine. There was a sense of ownership. A feeling that – “this belongs to me”. A thought that “I am creating this”. It brought so much specialness. It added to my self-worth and value.  But things have been different since my so-called skills have joined forces with the Divine.ContinueContinue reading “Let your skills connect you to the Divine”

When the ego wants to be a guru

One of the things that has been unraveled to me sometimes slowly and sometimes like a band-aid being ripped apart, is the ego’s desire to be a teacher or like mine to be a spiritual guru. Ha ha ha. Its a funny one. We all want to be acknowledged for our intelligence. And the momentContinueContinue reading “When the ego wants to be a guru”

Whom will you hang out with today?

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 IContinueContinue reading “Whom will you hang out with today?”

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 conversationsContinueContinue reading “Discovering who I truly am”

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”

The gift of discomfort

A couple of weeks ago, I experienced a mini anxiety-attack. It came after a long gap of two years. I thought I had broken all ties with anxiety, tapped all remnants of it out of my system, and bid it a grand goodbye. And so when it knocked on my door again, I was flabbergastedContinueContinue reading “The gift of discomfort”

The mind is a monkey

I have heard people refer to the mind as a monkey in many a spiritual discourse. And there is no disputing that! I have a monkey for a head most of the times. But while watching the cartoon ‘The new adventures of Hanuman’ with Pranav with the other day, I had yet another epiphany. (SeemContinueContinue reading “The mind is a monkey”

Building our own pyramids

I wrote this sometime in August, saved it as a draft and forgot about it. Then in the ensuing three months, I went on to bury myself inside a pyramid and let myself suffocate. Today reading this, I realized that most of us are wise to our weaknesses and yet, we choose to indulge it,ContinueContinue reading “Building our own pyramids”
