Ekam Satyam - 1

The greatest fallacy of love is that it is unconditional .  Being unconditional itself imposes a condition . Just love . Feel it as the touch that makes a small ripple in your heart...As the sound of a butterfly flapping its wings , sitting on your shoulder .. As even NOTHING except void . No qualitative assessments . The feeling is of million forms . But as a truth Love is love - just like a Rose is a rose is a rose .                                      RudraMaya - The Drama.. The Maya .

Journey of thousand miles

A journey of  a thousand miles begins with that one Step.
The one step that I take right now. It starts Here.. in your mind. Starts as a tiny spark.
It starts Now.. Right now .. this Moment that would redefine your life. This moment that would write a new beginning , to create a new ending.
Right now, as you are reading this ,  with your current reality threatening to bring an ordinary end to your life ,  your unquenched thirst to succeed pushing you to take one last step .. your journey starts.
In search of a new you , a You whom you lost long back, a You whom you dreamt of yesterday .. A you who is Truly you.
Start Right Now.. It isn't far away..

Lost Symphony

We have been playing  

just the perfect symphony of  life 

until the day our first Fear struck us .

The  notes go out of pitch .. 

you try to play it differently .. 

Notes change ..

Music changes ..

And here you are 

Looking for that lost symphony..

Well, It isn’t too late to start a new one 

Fearlessly. 

You are never at the event horizon

Event horizon.. something that has always attracted me. I would not get into the technicals of an event horizon but for all practical purposes,  take it as the point of no return.

Many have not taken that great stride in their life just because their fears that it might lead into a point of no return. Many careers missed,  passions left, relationships compromised,  atrocities put up with - because it was thought as the point of no return.

I believe there are no event horizons in life. Every moment I have a choice to Return . To return to the world where I would be lot happier.  Whether my circumstances decide my destiny or my destiny decides my circumstances, I am never at a point of no return.  My free will shall always choose a path so.

Man Vs Woman or Man & Woman

Man Vs Women or Man & Women

How does this sound to you ?

1. ' Man Vs Woman' 2. 'Man & Woman' . The simplest solution to all you have discussed is here- whether your lead your life as "man vs woman" or "man & woman" . Man vs woman- its always a competition as to who is bigger - in terms of anything - money, love, ego, respect .This is a parasitic life - an unhealthy competition - the root cause of all problems . But Man & Woman always means a peaceful co-existence. Each one trying to lift the other higher in all aspects.. Its a symbiotic relationship. There are three realities here:

1. Both at "man & woman" level of relationship - Life is beautiiful & they live happily ever after
2. One lives M&W and the other M vs W - Go on upto your tolerance levels - If one is unable to change the other, then QUIT.
3. Both M vs W - The best is to understand this initially and just Quit the relationship - its just not going to work out. And even if you dont quit initially - any time is the best time to QUIT in such relationships.
Life poses difficult situations - but its actually simple. Because, your objective in life is not to crib about difficulties but do the best in a given situation to make your "self" happy.
Even spiritually looking at things - Man & Women are equal "power stations" - the best that can happen is a synergy when they live as "Man & woman". But, with "Man Vs Woman" - I dont have to tell you - Its called "annihilation".

Working on limitations

If a relationship cannot give that secure feeling that my next step would not be on a landmine.. its a fake relationship. There is no honesty in it.. no truth.. Its like we are cheating ourselves in the name of that "relationship" . The most successful relationships are those where each one works around the limitations of the other. Not the ASSUMED limitations.. I'm talking about the REAL limitations. This might look a little negative .. but this is a more realistic approach. We strengthen ourselves by what each other know. But what creates the first crack is an expectation surpassing the limitation of the other. Expectations get built around one's ability.. in any relationship. Limitation is the max efficiency one can perform that 'action' that he is able to do. When I say I cook well, you cannot assume me to be your personal "Nigella" . I cannot be your personal ' aishwarya rai' or ' sharukh' or even your personal 'man / woman next door' , who always appears better than me. In a husband-wife relationship, there is an acceptance of the limitations of each other , appreciation & strengthening of the specialities of each other , work within this premise - all happening in a warp of love. Do you feel this is idealistic? It just implies that you are not really HAPPY. Just introspect....

Working on Strengths

The next step to understanding the limitations - "WORKING ON STRENGTHS. I believe that the most successful businesses are the ones where every resource is utilised to its best potential- note that i've used 'its' instead of 'the' and I hope you got the difference. Same with the most successful families. And thats probably why joint families worked wonders because there was a collective availability and deployment of resources.. A wonderful division of labour was possible.
Everyone has strengths & weaknesses. And its all about balancing these. Can we call it the ' fish ,cat & the bird principle of co-existence ' . In a family, first step is to understand the strength of each including the kids.. We know that fish swims , birds fly & cats run. In their own environment , viz, water, air & land - they achieve the best. Interchange their jobs - they will fail miserably.. And , interchange their environment ..fish on land, cats in air & birds in water... they die. Same way, in a relationship, if we understand that my wife / husband ( well, you can add all the members of the family here) excels in "this action" in this environment ' and use their strength for the common cause of overall family welfare, we would only keep moving ahead - financially as well as socially.. Ideally, the family will be a bunch of "experts" with a single goal. We would not be forcing our child to do engineering when he wants to become an archeologist, we will not make our wife a four wall show-piece when she aspires to be a fashion designer, we will not force our husband to become like the next door CEO when he wants to become a Life Coach.. And the worst is to realise 20 years later that we have wasted or lost an asset out of our own ego , arrogance or neglect . Your kid or wife or husband whom you didnt understand would have pardoned you.. But your conscience would never.. Because, it never sleeps.Rudramaya.

The divinity in you

Aham Brahmasmi...
I believe , not from my mere learning of the scriptures neither from  the numeous texts and speeches of the spiritual masters whom I have come across the last one decade , the seers , the energy trappers who call themselves as Amma, Appa, Baba's ans Swamis ... but from my life  experiences , that the PURPOSE of life is to truly understand and experience the DIVINITY in us and not to endorse anyone else's out of sheer desperation and underestimate our powers.  Yes.. Truly It IS. We are divine. We are immensely potential . We are limitless. We are governed by our own freewill which we should learn to exercise as per the principles of living as envisaged by our religion. By principles , I mean right living, right thoughts and right purpose . I mean the fullest effort to bring in the Mind-Body-Spirit balance.
Set the Goal. Work towards it every moment . As Ashtavakra says beautifully - "Layam Vraja" - DISSOLVE in what you do. BE in the moment. Become what you do. And there.. you have started your engine of manifestation.  Fly with your wings towards abundance. Its there - the Universe is full of that.  Synchronise with the vibrations of the Universe . It will guide you. Just believe that  the divine in you is a part of the whole. There is no change in the molecular structure  of the element called Divinity. Its an ENERGY.  Simply believe in it.
Now, Isn' t it simple?  Do we need complicated language to lead us to ' there'  where we want to see us? Do we need a Godman to tell us what' s in him is not in us but he / she will  " mould " something out of us?  My loved ones, we are already THERE.
We do not need to spend our financial energy for this. Close your eyes , and pray sincerely that right now, at this moment, your good thoughts for that little child crying in hunger will bring a good human next to the child and feed his hunger. It WILL happen. That's your fee . That  thought  , which makes your 'energy' meter by one point more , by which you have enhanced your cosmic account by a little more, will guide your freewill.. Will make you manifest what you want. This is just one of the lives we have .. We have died million times. We are going to die in this life also. Aim for the highest manifestation that you could ever want.  Believe the God in you.  Don't get desperate because that is when you stop believing in yourself and start endorsing other's divinity and ability to control your life.  And.. Miracles will become a part of your life. You surely DO NOT need Godmen & Godwomen to perform miracles in your life . YOU CAN DO IT.. Well  not until You Believe in your own Divinity.

The Grand Plan

When the grand plan unfolds at some right point in life, making you say "omg, that's why it happened to me " , that is the most beautiful moment when we smile at ourselves with complete realisation of the fallacy of the  " why me" s we have been troubling God with ..  So .. stop the ' Why Me '  s . There is a Grand Plan . The program is meant to work, complete its mission and self annihilate . That's all .  

Tamil Poet Bharathiar's New Age Woman

Bharathi Kanda Pudumaip Penn ( The New age Woman as visualised by Bharathiar)

This is Bharathi kanda Pudumaip Penn:

"Nimirntha nannenjum naer konda paarvaiyum
Nilathinil yaarukkum anjaatha nerigalum
Thimirntha gnanach cherukkum iruppadhaal
Semmai maadhargal thirambuvathillaiyaam"

"With upright heart and steadfast look and ideals that are not afraid of anyone in the world- the woman does not falter as she has the possession of wisdom."

I feel, my dear Bharathi... You also should have defined the Man who would be the perfect match to these women.. In my words, the ideal man would be

"Annimirndha nannenjai anbaal aravanaithu
Nerkinda paarvayil than uruvathai nilaippaduthi
Aval thimirndha gnaanach cherukkil thilaithu maginzhndhu
Ach chemmai magalai manaiviyaagak kondaadi
Yendrendrum inbamaai.. Vaazhkkaye Inidhaai....

The man - who, embraces her upright heart with his love; In her steadfast look have himself seen; In her wisdom he drowns happily; Celebrating  this great woman as his wife.. Happily living everafter forever...

Idhu.. Naan kanda pudumai Aanmagan .. ( This is the New age  Man that I dream of)
