THE PEARL NECKLACE IS READY!!

The Pearl Necklace is ready!!

We need not dive deep into the worldly ocean to hunt, retrieve the oysters from the ocean floors and bring them out to the light, unwrap, clean-up and string them for us to adorn.

Greatest Holy Deep Divers have already done all the Pursuit of Truth for us.

The Truth is very simple. The seeker makes it too complex to even recognize.

With the added load of complexities, we are impotent to dive deep into that ocean.

We are left eventually  with a single task.  The task is to “Know where to find”.

Everything else is ready and held in reserve.

Let us not be slothful and sorry.

Let us not waste more time.

Let us look for our Pearl Necklace and wear it.

As simple!! REALIZE. 

Thank You. Love!!

AN EVESDROP

This was a while ago when I was with the flow of “If only I had--------------”, “But you know what------------”, “Why because--------------”. Those were the suffixes for my explanations for not being happy. One day I got a big mental slap of my life. Something inside me yelled at me with the BGM “Your happiness does not depend on things, situations or people you fool. Get inside you and go deeper into your nothingness and try to find your true happiness in there with what you already have”. That slap brought me back to my senses and only then I did eavesdrop on the conversation between my MIND and HEART. It goes as follows:

Mind:     No FUN ever since yesterday. Come let’s have more FUN.

Heart:     I have JOY. I have enough.

Mind:     I am feeling void. Let us fill ourselves with pleasure and have FUN.

Heart:     I am full. Peace fills me up naturally with JOY.

Mind:     FUN is in exotic places, with attractive people and is in laughter.

Heart:     JOY in being me. JOY is in peace.

Mind:     Colorful lights out there….come let us wander and have FUN.

Heart:     I am JOY. I am the SUN. I need not wander.

Mind:     You are letting everything go and you are calling it JOY.

Heart:     You are worshipping ego and you want to call it FUN.

Mind:     FUN is in fights, flights, thrills and paybacks.

Heart:     JOY is in care, ease, and amnesty.    

Mind:     Bumper car ride is FUN.

Heart:     You go everywhere but HOME. A journey of JOY takes you HOME.

Mind:     Let’s ride a roller coaster and have FUN.

Heart:     I am grounded and enjoying JOY                                                                                                                                                      

Mind:     Let us go there, meet them, text some and have lots of FUN.

Heart:     Those are ‘halloweens’ to mask the hollowness. I have solid JOY.

Mind:     Let us turn a deck of cards into a castle, that is FUN

Heart:     I am constructing my SELF consciously, that is JOY

Mind:     To have FUN you need nothing but the weakest body muscle.

Heart:     To experience JOY one needs the strongest mind muscle.

Mind:     Come with me I want company to have FUN

Heart:     I need no one to feel JOY.

Mind:     Leave your burdening bundle of values and join with me.

Heart:     Those are integrated. Which are lightening and enlightening me.

Mind:     Life is short, let’s have FUN.

Heart:     Soul is eternal and is an epithet of JOY.

Mind:     Fun is loud and luxurious.

Heart:     Certainly JOY is serene and simple.

Mind:     FUN is glamor.

Heart:     JOY is the beauty.

Mind:     FUN is a pleasure.

Heart:     JOY is LOVE.

FUN IS BOUGHT. JOY IS BORN!!

Life is all the time more than FUN and JOY. The pursuit of life purpose makes us HUMAN.

Fun is digging into a bucket of ice cream. Joy is losing a couple of pounds J

Thank You. Love!!

Chariot of Courage

Courage is flinging the fear away.

Courage is calling a lie a lie on its face.

Courage is to know our right to be treated with respect.

Courage is not to talk down others to establish us.

Courage is having loads of compassion and empathy.

Courage is speaking up the truth though we are looked crazy.

Courage is not to fear the fall.

Courage is living authentically and reliably.

Courage is discarding the ‘make up’ and standing true.

Courage is walking on solid ground, not on egg shells.

Courage is darting a smile at the 'Brutuses' and walking away.

Courage is raising out of the meager mob of toads and standing tall all alone.

Courage is taking responsibility and liability for all our actions.

Courage is not shifting our mistakes onto others to prove us right.

Courage is not to deceit even your nastiest enemy.

Courage is confronting with the whole nest of our inner demons.

Courage is overlooking the public glory and not seeking constant attention.

Courage is ready to expose the ‘manipulative inner self’ of the ‘vilely wolf’ if we are pushed too much to our boundaries.

Courage is sitting in solitude and listening to what our inner self is telling us about us.

Courage to be encouraged

Courage is defining certain limits to social media.

Courage is not having anticipations on our ‘posts’.

Courage is saying what we want to say irrespective of the desire for approval.

Courage is not pretending happiness or success on public platforms.

Courage is enjoying both the ‘full moon’ and ‘no moon’ days of my tresses likewise. J

Courage is staying INDIAN.

Thank you. Love!!
