This blog is about the mind story – my intimate relationship with the mind. And the stories evolve around my own spiritual growth which includes my own shortcomings, observations and understanding.
Interestingly it was recognizing arrogance that propels me to look at spirituality from a different light, beginning from the Buddha’s teaching to other faith, seeing profound similarities in them. Arrogance swings me from one end of polarity to the other end, humility. And again, only in recognizing both ends was I able to come to my own balance state, the middle path. Both ends have extreme interpretations of good and bad whereas the centre has its understanding of both. The recognition I am talking about is wisdom in working, found in each and everyone of us, when we allow.
And my journey is still evolving and refining, bringing myself back again and again, consistently, allowing wisdom to unfold in me, from extremity to the middle path of non-judgment and non-violence, seeing the world as my own creation and definition.
May you find yourself in these readings and come into your inner peace and freedom.

Quantum physics defies what Newtonian physics is all about. At the molecular level, the entire game changes. In fact it is totally in opposition to what is.
The same goes with the mind. The world I perceived outwardly is not exactly what I thought it is - a different set of rules reign within.
Beyond the falseness
Truth beckons me.

With each word a flower opens up to heaven first
then out to all as heaven’s giving, birth… opens earth to being called for, but not out of, suffering’s reason. Our hands release the words to silence as a tree releases its leaves to fertilize the soil so as to make more to give from up above, me. : )
Hands reaching without a sound, in letter silence the truth is found.
