Leaving Patna after a gap of 66 days on 8th august . It seems it was one of the longest continuous stay at Patna since 1997  , not even crossed ganga bridge forget about out of the state. The hallmark of this stay will be always remembered for quality and quantity time with amma,beenu and naina and some very close relatives and friends . Heavy rains on some day made water logging in front of house but everything was just fine. Another feature of this stay was regular golf and morning and evening yoga with no non veg food since 30th April. During this period tried to make naina understand lot of things and she started reciprocating and seeing the points . Beenu also started going to yoga classes and liking it . This slow pace of life was only possible due to voluntary sabbatical since 1st July 2016 . Initially I thought that I will back to work from 1st July 2017 but it automatically got extended with good going at Patna . Now like all good phases of life it seems this phase also c...

Silence naturally comes , without any effort due to the ambience and environment but the real challenge is to practice and observe silence on your day to day life of your place of residing. Observe consistently inner silence witnessing all external chaos .

I have vastly observed, seen and witnessed that one human trait which is over supply in human being  is  all pervading great ego.  It has nothing to do with your situation or position or status , it is abundantly available with one and all. Mostly is false ego justified in the name of self respect. Very pathetic and also it is gender neutral , both sexes have enough . If somebody who has gone through the demanding life and reached a position of authority then meekly a bit of ego can be justified. But take a case of person who never qualified for 100 meter run has larger ego than the winner of 100 meter race. It is senseless and creating an artificial ego boundary between friends, family and colleagues. Shedding of ego is very important for social harmony and to end unwanted jealousy.

Bereft of  any meaningful coincidences,lack of synchronicity between mind, body and soul , no spark and never saw  tiny bit of miracle, in absence of all above , life become most ordinary.

Different pulls in different directions for mind , body and soul makes one indecisive. The trios act independently on their own frequency without synchronisation. The task become so tough when the desires of mind , body and soul are at loggerheads. A vicious war starts in the mind to know which one is right and takes one to right path. This duality of right and wrong keeps one confused and ultimately leads to status quo or no decision.this breeds stillness in thought and act. To come out of this stillness would be the first task.

I set aside many a times valid reason to reach out to my friends, professional colleagues and relation thinking that I need to be humble , understanding ,rise above little things and flexible to understand their side of story or stress which causes them to react like that. But what  I have noticed that due to this they take me granted . I now entered into my final phase of life and many of my own dreams are unfulfilled. I have to now focus more on meeting my unfinished agenda since life is running fast. Comfortably another 15 years are left to sign off .

Three characteristics of Soul is sat-chit-ananda. Sat is the absolute truth, chit is awareness or pure consciousness and ananda is bliss infinite and boundless , free from any stress or tension or conflict or disturbance. These three enriches the soul. Three together are same truth that  leads to awareness and awareness to bliss. All three merges with truth and become one.

DNC for toxic people It is a long time , self imposed restraining order . DO NOT CONTACT (DnC) means exactly that. No contact with toxic people. This includes no conversations ,no texting,no phone calls , no face time. Both ways. You will see and feel the outcome.

I am not able to make it out. Not able to concentrate and carry with the decision . it seems there is some haste under which i am taking decisions and not able to carry forward. I am looking outward and external for my peace and happiness. Not able to concentrate on inner self. I have to  immerse myself to work with strict discipline. I have to reach out to my inner source of energy.

Life presents a dilemma. Mind knows the answer and its reason but the heart always like to deny it. The tussle between both creates a situation where you are torn between the reason and your desires. There are days when mind overtakes heart and prevails. But lo when it seems that confusion is over it resurfaces again and this time on the day powered by heart. You are again in a  flux situation. Which way to go! This goes on   goes on and by this you keep unnecessary thinking and at the end no result. After a long time you find that you simply wasted your precious time,energy and happiness. This becomes even more interesting when it have another actor. Situation becomes more complex . when your heart prevails then other person mind and vice versa. This keeps going on make miserable both lives. The only solution is to sync your heart with the other person or sync mind and take a decision that suits both. Otherwise left, this play will drain vital energy of both. Choice is...

     Letting go things , persons and places on a perfect note which you love the most   and become integral part of you is an Art. However letting go of strong emotions , feelings and desires which captivated you is a bigger Art and requires accomplished practice. How to let go these feelings which becomes fabric of life on a harmonious note without any acrimony,fight,bad mouth ,bad intention and so on !!      This cannot be done at once .It needs practice and learning of previous such unsuccessful exercises of letting go. It also needs blessings of the place, environment and above all motivation from entire body ,mind and heart to become successful.      One should also know this that letting go is akin to death. Both requires moving on to a place of surrender to what is , and allowing for a transition to something new. Failure to do so will trap you forever in the land of " no more and not yet". Letting go and moving on a...
