Just a thought!



There is no substitute to experience......and there is no need to explanation, clarification, verification, proof and justification after direct experience........

So, drop the talk and work on experiencing...........

On experience......




Unfortunately I can't live your experience.

But, that is good too, fortunately!

Because just imagine, you eating 'gulab jamun' and I don't have to eat it to know it....then wouldn't i be denied the joy of eating and tasting 'gulab jamun'............?

Sometimes, i wonder how dangerous that could be too.....i have met lots of people who are ready to eat poison if it only hurts me too......

So, this is good that I can't live your experience....i have to have my experience to experience it......

But does that mean i can't learn from your experience? No, certainly not.....i can learn from any one's experience provided i am open to seeing, learning and ingesting it in my life......

Is life worth a celebration?





Why to celebrate life?

What is there in my life to celebrate it and be grateful for?

I don’t have a family that is supportive
I don’t have money
I don’t have a life partner who supports me and understands me
I have court cases going on
I don’t have a life partner
My life is boring and its same routine everyday of my life
I am in pain
My life partner left me
I have lots of health issues……

I hope I have almost covered all your problems and complaints…..but watch this link and then ……..


Need I say more!

Celebrate life because it still is!
Celebrate life because you still are alive!
Many times I have realized just existence is worth a celebration……I know you too can…..

Purpose of life





Purpose of life

Trees grow and flowers bloom.
Animals eat, fight and procreate.
Fire burns and air moves.
Animate, inanimate everything has a purpose for their existence and they exhibit it through their existence and nature.

Man is the only animal without a fixed nature and purpose.
And man is the only one who can complete his life without a valid purpose.

There are two ways to bring purpose in life.
One is to search and find out the purpose of one’s life. This is very long, tedious and boring job (as per the crowd).

The second is YOU give the purpose to life. You decide how you wish to express ‘yourself’ through the life you lead. This is easy. Just think about it. Move away from your life and see your life. Now, think how do you want your life to be seen as? What do you want your life to reflect? But, to do this, first do let-go meditation. If you are not my student, then close your eyes and relax completely – relax your entire body.  Then when you are totally calm and relaxed, then visualize yourself away from your life and then see how you wish it to appear. That can be made purpose for the same.

Getting married, having children, getting job, house are events of life. They can’t be the purpose of life. If this is all there is as ‘purpose of life’ then ‘being successful and happy’ I am sorry can be next to impossible job.

Wishing you know purpose of your life……… and those of you who know your purpose of life please share it with us…..it would help us to know how the purpose of life looks like……

On love





….contd….

“they dislike you and bad mouth you so many times because you say what they don’t want to hear, can’t you atleast stop doing that? It’ll atleast stop them from talking ill of you” Rahul pleaded. He never liked when others talked ill of her. But he had never voiced this to her. And today he was trying to do away with the cause to some extent.

“Surely I can do that if my aim or desire was to make friends and admirers here. But it is not unfortunately. Moreover, if even I don’t tell them the truth, who will and how will they come out of their ignorance?” she replied with a smile.

“But why do you do that Guruji and so repeatedly too?” there was pain in Rahul’s voice. Pain that she was not understood by others. Pain that her love and hardwork was returned with ill-treatment, anger, resentment, hatred and what not.

“Have you even seen a mother who pushes bitter medicine down the throat of her child – the most precious of all in the world even when he is kicking her stomach and chest vigorously and she is in terrible pain because of that? Does she stop giving that bitter medicine because of her pain. Her pain is nothing when compared to the pain she is suffering because of her child’s ill-health. For her at that point of time only thing that matters is to cure him. She is not bothered that he spits on her face or calls her ‘a bad mother’. I’ve even heard some children asking their mother ‘to die’. And yet mother does ‘what she ought to do’. Her purpose in his life is complete only when she plays her part so.

I won’t come this way again. So let me play it the right way this only time I have” she explained handing out one rose to each one of us.”

We were dumb-stuck. ‘aah’ cried Priya. We looked at her and she showed her finger and said ‘thorn of rose’. We all laughed. This has happened so many times with us. We knew that feeling. We all had been there some time or the other. 

“And yet you didn’t throw the rose away. It pricked you and you changed it to your other hand but did not abuse it or throw it away. With beauty comes a thorn too. With love comes pain too. You can’t have one and leave the other. And you would be a fool to leave the rose for its thorn. Similarly, because it pains, I can’t let go off my love can I or should I?” she asked as she looked into our eyes.

We sat beside her. We smiled. She knew our answer. We knew what she meant. But more than that we knew we need to look into our relationships. I know for sure that she didn’t say all this to talk about herself.

Just like me even Rahul and Priya must have come with complaints about relationships and she as ever without embarrassing us showed us where the problem was and how to see it, heal it and live it. We had complaints that Love hurts. But here she taught us that love IS because you want to contribute something good, meaningful, beautiful, useful in others life. You love not because it removes your pain but because you can't see the other in pain and are desperate enough to remove that pain from their life. Well, I and others need to meditate on love and know it......and yes, it's a huge subject.......but for now.....

Talk continued and laughter filled the atmosphere till late night and bright moon shone so brightly as if sharing our happiness. When we took leave our faces and hearts matched the brilliance of moon above…… 

concluded....
