Identity or Attachment

 Standing on the bridge and watching the flow of water adds life and vibrancy to my eyes, while the cool breeze brings a soothing and comforting sensation to my skin. The gentle sound of water creates a melodic symphony that enchants my ears, and the delightful smell of greenery embraces my nose. All of these elements come together to inspire a rush of poetry in my mind, and I find great joy in reciting these poems aloud. If I decide to jump into the water, I will be carried away by the powerful current of the river. Because of the emphasis on survival, there is limited space to embrace the beauty and unravel the poetic essence.

Similarly, look at the world as you, simply you. There is so much to learn from the diversity of religions, cultures, and many other aspects of life. Once you identify with any of them, it filters out the rest of the beauty.

Identifying with a religion may lead to preferences or aversions towards other religions; identifying with a country may lead to preferences or aversions towards other countries; identifying with a gender may lead to preferences or aversions towards other genders; and so on. This shows you are caught in the duals. This would cause you to drift for eternity with specific contents of life (like a religion, country, gender, family, etc.) and unable to experience the richness of life in its entirety, missing out on the intricate tapestry of diverse beings, each one showcasing their individual beauty.

Prosperity

 Life often keeps us busy with survival or luxury pursuits that distract us from our true potential. Like a banyan tree hidden within a tiny seed, your potential is vast waiting to sprout when given space through silence. This silence allows us to reconnect with ourselves, experience joy without reason, and contribute authentically to the world’s evolution.  The Busy Lives of the Poor For those living in poverty, life revolves around survival. Their days are consumed by earning bread, securing shelter, and meeting basic needs. Their minds are constantly focused on activities necessary for survival, leaving little room for reflection or exploration. Life demands their full attention, and the luxury of pausing to think about deeper aspects of existence is often out of reach. The Rich and Their Pursuit of Luxury The rich, on the other hand, are free from survival struggles but face a different kind of challenge. Their lives are often influenced by societal expectations and corpor...

Solution to all problems

“The solution to conflict lies not within the problem, but in shifting our focus to something that genuinely interests us.” Most conflicts are subjective, making it difficult to provide a generic solution. This is especially true in relationships, where arguments become complicated as each person speaks from their own perspective, trying to persuade the other. Finding a complete solution while being immersed in the problem is nearly impossible. The solution lies outside of the problem, not within it. Insisting on finding a solution while still in the midst of the problem only serves to drag you deeper into it, much like quicksand (oobi in telugu). The solution lies not in finding solid ground within the quicksand, but in clutching onto something stable outside, using it to pull yourself out. This outside handle, in the realm of conflicts, is action. Allocate a few hours or even days, creating a timeline within which to tackle the problems head-on. Take any and all actions within your p...

Superhero | Divine Dance | Rasa Leela

The one. One is in all irrespective of whether we recognise it. When someone allows it to express itself, its immense power becomes evident, their unique skill gets illuminated to its fullest extent. That skill can encompass a wide range of possibilities, such as poetry, warriorship, cooking, singing, engineering, medicine, hospitality, and more. When someone is confined to their physical senses, they perceive themselves solely as a physical entity. That is the case with most of us. Since our consciousness is confined to physical bodies, we tend to perceive thoughts of immense power as physical beings like superheroes, and we create the image of a hero who will come and rescue us. In reality, this immense power is to illuminate the distinctive features hidden in everyone. The main purpose of creation is not to generate a superheroe, but rather to manifest itself through every individual, highlighting their unique qualities to the fullest extent, thus evoking a sense of super-heroism in...
