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”
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.”
Who is a teacher?
The world defines a teacher based on the education system. A teacher is thus a person who instructs, informs and guides students based on a certain curriculum. Even in a spiritual context, this definition seems to be the norm. Most spiritual students believe in this and continue to chain themselves and their teachers to thatContinueContinue reading “Who is a teacher?”
Lesson 18: I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing
Dear S, Wanted to share something interesting with you. From afternoon, I have been wanting to fight with you. I have noticed that when I feel down, I am really in a closed space. Can’t take any form of feedback. I know you will say I am always closed, and I will say look whoContinueContinue reading “Lesson 18: I am not alone in experiencing the effects of my seeing”
The clock is ticking
Past few days, I have been feeling like I am on a countdown. As though the clock is ticking and I can hear it inside me, around me, everywhere. And I am left wondering – I don’t know how much time is left for this countdown to end. I sat for days watching the clockContinueContinue reading “The clock is ticking”
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”
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 nowContinueContinue reading “The quest for perfection”
Wasting my day
The first thing that someone usually asks when they meet you is, how are you? This is usually followed by – what are you doing lately ? Increasingly, I find that this is a difficult question to respond to. Questions such as why are you so busy and what do you do for a livingContinueContinue reading “Wasting my day”
