Awakening

Reflecting on life, it dawned on me, that I was never a part of the rat race. I wasn’t affected by success/failure versus that of my peers at school and at work. Little did I realize that my true-self was always at play, in my physical body and mind. I was oblivious to the fact that I was spiritually awakened since childhood. It is only recently that I was exposed to the teachings of “awakening to the absolute”, but as it always is, consciousness, love, awareness - the witness, is all there is! 😊

Atman is Brahman = I AM

All scriptures convey the same: that “I AM God” and the infinite consciousness and I are one.

In the Hindu scriptures it is said that “Atman is Brahman” (from the Upanishads - spiritual texts that are a part of the Vedas)

Atman: Self/Soul (I)

Brahman: Universal Soul/Consciousness/Ultimate Reality/Source

So “Atman is Brahman” means “I AM Consciousness/God/Source”.

Salvation:
“Union of the individual soul with the Universal Soul/Consciousness/Source/God” (considered to occur when one ceases to exist in one’s body).

After learning Neville, I understand that when I go within, imagine and ignore the external reality we unite with infinite consciousness/source and not necessarily only after I transition from this body.

Moksha (Nirvana/when the Promise is fulfilled): is liberation from maya (illusion/shadow world) and the experience of the Brahman (consciousness).

Neville believed he won’t be born in the 3D world again as the promised had been fulfilled.

Aakir kaar “Sab Moh Maya hai” means “every thing is an illusion”.

Wg.Cdr.Srinivasa Kannan - The Irreplacable Man in My Life

The man to whom I owe my very existence,
has transitioned from the physical;
This too shall NEVER pass;
The void can NEVER EVER be filled;
My Biggest Hero Ever; My Omar Sharif;
My Soldier; My Fighter;
My Air Warrior; My Role Model;
My Guide; My Inspiration (to life);
I'm ever indebted and grateful for all that you had taught me;
And all the strength that you transferred to me as you passed;
My love, pride and respect for you, is eternal.
Your call sign ("Lord"), was more than appropriate to your personality;
while you were a true soldier who fought and WON EVERY battle, to it's logical end.
It will remain my PERMANENT desire that you ALWAYS be the reason for my creation,
in whatever life form, if ever, when ever and where ever.

Pa - I love you and miss you like crazy, and I know you are resting in peace as you look at me from up there and smile.

Source Energy (Aathma) as You and Me

The universe is as beautiful as the creatures that entail it. We the creatures - a physical extension of source (aathma), love each other as source.

Life in this physical form is unpredictable, and while I am unaware as to when I will transition in to source, I wana tell you that neither you or I are bad, it is the environment, and our thoughts, that drive our feelings and thus our actions. While staying away, may be the path of least resistance, for both of us, I must say, I have no regrets, complaints, grudge or ill-feeling towards thou.

Life is too short and not worth being miserable, manipulative, revengeful or venomous.  To love and embrace all, is my conscious, constant and continuous endeavor!

The Feeling Place and my Inner Being

Who determines how I feel? No other has the power to influence how I feel (no matter the situation), except me. When I blame another for how I feel, it is my personal battle and has nothing to do with the other.

For instance, the loss (transition from the physical) of a loved one, makes me feel miserable not for the other but for myself because of the fact that the other is no longer going to be physically around me. It is my battle with my inner being.

My relationship with my inner being is all that matters. The better I feel, the closer I am to myself (Source/Inner Being), as source sees everything and everyone from a place of love. Others are a reflection of how I am vibrating towards them.

I am energy and an extension of source, in physical form. Some call it source energy, some god, some a supernatural power - it is all the same!

For those who don't understand or believe that every particle in this universe is made up of energy, the theory - 'You don't give another the power to determine how you feel', may make sense.

In totality, how I feel is up to me and NOT you, thus allowing me to create a great life experience (of love, happiness, joy and bliss), for myself!!!

The Ocean and Workings of a Crush

As I sat facing the ocean,  as still and calm as could be, this is what the waves and a crush did to me (a 12th grader). I just can't remember the remaining of my first attempt, at writing! :(

"Sitting by the shore on this moonlit night
Nothing comes to my mind but for you..."

Love, Life and Irony

Eternal beauty is to love,
Irony is to be unable to express love,
Survival is to be able to be amorphous!

Let not silence keep you lingering...

"I waited and waited for minutes, for hours, for days, but all I had was silence and with the absence of your words, I took it as an answer."

This is so true. Silence, a subtle and yet strong form of communication to many - the arrogant, confused, anxious and the patient!

Onliest

While they say... "I come alone and go alone, why can't I live alone?" Reality is a paradox -
'good or bad', I am on my own and so are you!

High Tide, Low Tide, Time and Tide

A wave was he who came by and swept her off her feet, 
as she stood by the shore staring at the horizon.
She swayed along amid the tempestuous tides of life, 
falling here and rising there.

A wave was he who picked her up time and again,
from the trough, down below.

Rise and fall did she until he the wave cast her ashore,
lest she think this is for eternity.

She lay there dazed, wondering if ever she'd encounter another 
wave like thee!
