Balance

 Survival is the foundation, but thriving is the masterpiece of life’s canvas.

We host a physical form with an agenda to express an aspect of the soul. Surviving in this physical form is undoubtedly important, as without that, we cannot accomplish anything. While it is important, we should not let it become the only thing we focus on in life. It is crucial that we maintain a balance between the activities necessary for our survival and the ones that allow us to express our true selves.

Reflecting on my journey from birth, I can see how society’s expectations have influenced my choices and priorities. The template of education, career, and family life has often overshadowed my individuality. Most societal norms, including marital life, revolve around activities that are necessary for survival.

However, as I have become more aware of my uniqueness, I have started to question these societal norms and the limited perspective they impose on us. It is crucial to break free from the external influences that dominate our thoughts and focus on what truly matters to us. When we commit ourselves to introspection, understanding our core principles, and nurturing our abilities, we open up the possibility of living an authentic life that is in harmony with our true nature. It is only through this process that we can truly say we are living our life. Until then, we are merely like laborers, working hard to make ends meet and contributing to someone else's vision.

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...
