Unconsciousness to Consciousness!!..

 When the following was posted, i penned down what came to my head. Things that i need to work on myself. What does come to urs? What is the difference between the two? 1. He was walking. 2. He found his body, walking. and my response :::: He was walking. Duality, that is when I am in ego consciousness seeing the other from me. He found is body walking. (I am that I am) When the true nature of knowing that I am u and u are me (that we are basically mirroring each other ) and all of life animated or inanimate is all from one source and has experienced source would be able to see that I am not the body but an accumulation of cells which I am.bkimd to return before I return back to the light as spirit. This is all that came to my head. Every time as a child that I used to say oh that leg is paining (my leg but when I never said my leg it used to heal faster) If we can see the leg not part of me psychologically healing is faster i guess. Phew I wonder why I stopped saying that. Thank y...

My Janmashtami Experience that I will always Cherish - I saw Lord Krishna just as in Bhagawatam

Image
Story of Lord Krishna has always been around me ever since I have been a kid. He has been the closest human form one has always related as a newborn and onwards into his teens and being an adult. Well ofcourse the next closest I can recollect is Jesus Son of god, why mention Jesus coz I love to see similarity pattern eg, both infants born at midnight is it not?  But the stories of Lord Krishna stays because every day every moment of his growing phase is in story form, innocence or being mischievous (teenage naughtiness ) and so on upto self-realization. Every toughest phase of life he has managed with ease thats how its always projected or that he is most charming and charms not just Gopikas but women and men.  The baby boy I gave birth to, i don't know if he was ever charming but he always had and has a Charishma around him. PPL may not remember Devaki but surly remembers how Yashoda managed our little hero on every janmastami. In my story i am both Devaki and Yashodha ma. I ...

Transformation - Life Cycle of a Butterfly vs us

Image
 The word Transformation is a widely spoken word in the field of Spirituality. Detailed explanations and lots of subtler things that its hard and hardly understood however a simple word it is. Here is somethings i understood, Transformation is nothing but Change.  Change from one state to another. For instance,  Water changes to steam,  Steam changes to vapour, Vapour changes to clouds, Clouds changes back to water. Technically all are the same and one. Simply this is what Spirituality is in essence. But to understand this union in a simple way one talks about how each of us need to Change ie Transform. From one stage of being to another. The best part of transformation is once we move from one state we dont return back to its old form. That is I break an old habit and into the new. Another Simple example is Lifecycle of a butterfly.  Courtesy of image : Google images. This image depicts the transformation physically, however same is the case of the Spirit once ...

Attention Deficient - Who does not have it?

 Attention is something anyone should have when it comes to focusing and learning anything in life. I am going to share an experience I just had and decided to share what enlightenment I just got to the terminology or tagging one a ADD or attention deficit disorder.  I was trying to read a couple of pages from a spiritual text, normally very insightfull areas need more understanding and repeated readings, however this one is a story like chapter ideally easy to read and relate. The TV was on with songs i dont prefer, the road was buzzing with traffic honking of vehicles, somenes watsap was playing some forward, technically i have been able to focus on reading despite all these sounds. But what happened just now? I could not read one short passage, i was reading and re-reading. It was my mind, it was running with multiple things from within that i could not focus or give attention to reading. IT was nothing from the outside. I was thinking of what was my next series i wanted to...

Mother = Infinite energy?

I dint plan to pen this down in line to Mother's Day month, however landed to be so. A flow of thoughts that I wanted to capture in form of text. If you feel it to be true do share with like-minded friends. Thq. You and I are all miracles, this thought dawned on me when I was told - ' oh you are a mother to be'. For each of our lives are from that unknown source. Till then I dint understand the true meaning of the word miracle. A huge shift in mindset a huge shift in the physical self, yes that is a mother to be. If just a mother to be, can feel this much of understanding and maturity, imagine what she can be when she becomes one. U dont need to if you are one u know it already. In the modern era, when we have all possible help which my mom or grandmom never had; is complaining about no time, no energy, no support, no understanding, no me time and so on.  For some reason I never understood why this me time was such a hype these days. Well thanks to media and markets which i...
