Love

 Here is the link to prior article on Love.

In those last moments of my grandfather, his eyes, tired and sunken, radiated an unwavering love towards me. Unfortunately, I was miles away and unable to stand by his side during those precious moments. I could not be there for him even when he was alive because work consumed me and I neglected to call. But whenever I called him occasionally, I could feel overwhelming love. Now that he’s gone, a pang of guilt hits me for not making time for him. I’ve had vivid dreams where he expressed immense love towards me, followed by guilt for neglecting him. 

At around 03:30 AM, I had a dream similar to one I had before. I am determined to fully acknowledge it, even though I am unsure of how to do so or whom should I acknowledge since he is no longer here. The phrase about a tranquil lake reflecting the vastness of the sky reminds me to calm my mind and allow my higher soul reflects in that quiet mind with all the guidance I needed. Amid that serene calmness, I was suddenly overwhelmed by an enormous surge of love that crashed into my mind, washing away all thoughts and emotions and replacing them entirely with its own essence.

From deep within, a voice resonated, declaring its identity as the soul that permeates everything, and expressing unconditional love for me. It further said, I love all and I try to express my love through every form towards every other form as long as they allow me. Your grandfather’s form is one such form whose physical mind is inclined more towards you and hence all my unconditional love flowing through him bent towards you. This realization has eased my guilt because the soul still exists and I have the opportunity to acknowledge the love it showered through my grandfather’s form. I now see the soul in everything and feel the love it tries to shower on me and others through various forms in nature, including family and friends. This love is infinite and unconditional, but it can only reach us to the extent that the minds of those around us allow it to flow through. The love from the soul may be diluted when it passes through people’s minds, but it remains pure when we sense it within ourselves.

Reiterating the core point - "Love weaves the threads of life, binding us to the intricate tapestry of existence."

The source of love is the “Self” or “Soul,” which is present in everything. This love is unconditional and expressed through physical bodies. However, the mind, residing within most physical bodies, carries the weight of ego, like a heavy fog that clouds our perception. This ego interferes with the natural flow of love from the Soul. For instance, an average person perceives themselves as a solitary physical body, accompanied only by a select few family members. This false ego creates a tunnel vision, directing the love emanating from the soul towards these chosen few, while disregarding the rest of humanity and the vast array of other species.

Understanding that love comes from the soul and not from physical forms allows us to not be affected if someone doesn’t express love towards us. By connecting with the soul within, we open the floodgates for an uninterrupted flow of love. By embracing this truth, we can share love freely, without expecting it in return. We become conduits, channels through which love flows effortlessly, nourishing all that it touches. 

We can also perceive love from countless sources, as the soul permeates everything and radiates love through everything. Nature becomes a tapestry of love, not limited to just our family and friends. We can feel the love radiating from the gentle touch of a pet, the rustling leaves of a tree, or the melodious song of a bird. Love transcends the boundaries we once believed confined it.

Love becomes our essence, our true nature, and our connection to the vast tapestry of existence.

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...
