Wished so much to be at Thiruvannamalai today, Arunachala
To circumbulate you under moonlight
With your immense grace, you smiled at me as full moon even in cloudy sky here today
With more grace, you poured upon bliss of your eternal presence in my heart
In your grace, time and space disappear
Oh Arunachala, my dearest lord, pranams
Arunachala Siva Arunachala Siva Arunachala Siva Arunachala…
Arunachala Siva Arunachala Siva Arunachala Siva Arunachala…
Chanting joyfully
Singing joyfully
Remembering joyfully
About the beloved lord always
And, dissolving joyfully into the heart
Everything is uncomparable to this joy
Any tests of life can be passed with devotion,
With our beloved lord always in our hearts
😊❤🙏🌼🕊

Tathātā (/ˌtætəˈtɑː/; Sanskrit romanised: tathātā; Pali romanised: tathatā) is a Buddhist term variously translated as “thusness” or “suchness” and meaning the true, concrete essence or nature of things beyond ideas or words. It is a central concept in Mahayana Buddhism, having a particular significance in Chan Buddhism as well. The synonym dharmatā is also often used.
Beyond ideas and words….
Cast both of these aside
As they only interfere
They mask
They delude
They misinform
They distract from what is real
from what is immediate
from the present moment
For in suchness lies beingness
Simply being in the here and now
Rest in the isness
See with a fresh set of eyes
No ideas, no words
No images
Nothing
Such is suchness
Such is your true nature
And in this suchness lies the peace you seek
Close the doors of senses
Take a breath
Reach within the heart
See the light which lightens everything
Stay still
Let the thoughts flow like leaves in running water
They may come like big logs of wood too
Let them go, do not go behind them
Whatever they are,
Unless you give them power, none of them affect you
Stay still
Let the ego of individual self dissolve in eternal light of bliss
Here remains bliss only
Be the bliss by experiencing bliss
The doors of eternal bliss are open to all
To all those who are ready to look within
Except the willingness to stay still, nothing else is needed
Do not waste a second
Just this moment, this very moment,
Look within the sanctum of heart
Dissolve in the light of bliss dear one 🙂
As the mind shivers in the frost of emotions,
Cover up with the blanket of silence
In the warmth of silence, sort out the issues
Solution arises from within
Sweet little ones dancing in dark
Smiling at me
To draw my attention, a darling one came near me
Followed it’s path with eyes, I saw their dance
Just two stars in sky, cool breeze, and dancing fireflies
Thanks beloved lord for this beautiful night 😊
Thank you fireflies for the dance party ❤
Cottony fluffy clouds passing by,
Give me a hand
Let me fly with you unrestricted 😊
The blissful silent presence
Effulgent ever
We all possess in our hearts
The only possession we have as we ourselves as that
Rest all are different coloured paintings on this mirror
Which will be washed off by the tide of time
Recognize this treasure which nothing could take away from us
Watch at the mirror of consciousness without thoughts
At least in the silence of night or at the moment of wakeup,
Dissolve into that mirror by just looking at it
And experience the richness of limitless bliss 🙂
At this moment, I just feel to do this
Before my dears, I am confessing from my heart…
After being silently observing and giving chances and seeing no change in the behaviour of some people, I have blocked them from my life completely and very few partially. I may continue to do so until I learn to stay unaffected by anything or anyone. I hold certain values very strongly – like authenticity, sincerity, openness, honesty, self-responsibility, and no gossip talks about anyone. Compromising these values for anyone put me in lots of stress and I decided not to compromise these values for anyone even though they are very much dear to me. Yes, I feel much sadness in doing so, but I do so without hating anyone. I talk openly and tell them what I could not compromise and after seeing no change, I accept the person as it is without expecting a change in them. Those particular things may be right for them and they do not find anything wrong in their behaviour and may be absolutely fine with it. Let it be. I respect that. Initially, I feel pain in heart to move away, but also I do not feel to lose peace of mind, time, and energy for such behaviours and I just move away without any arguments. It’s ok you can judge me like whatever you wish to. I learnt not to care such judgements.
Even though I move away from them physically, in my heart, I hold them dear and pray for their good and sometimes think about the good memories I had with them. Thus, slowly I come out of the grief I feel by parting from them.
Now, more and more, I am enjoying solitude and silence and feels it is important to me like breathing 🙂
Each moment of human life is precious
As we continue living by giving and taking in earth,
Be aware of the permanent and impermanent
Choose wisely the time and energy spend on them
Be brave and try different things and choose the best which suits you
For the path of each is unique and beautiful
Have a collection of different feathers of experiences,
For experiences are the wealth we can earn for ourselves
Clease the mind each day off all influences
Have a dip in the purest ocean of being in silence and solitude
Be ready to face each moment with curiosity and a smile on face
For each moment is new and holds the power of bliss
Blessed moments dear all 😊
