SO…. I am finally getting back to my blog after a really
long hiatus of more than two and a half years!!!!
And this period has really kind of made me spin like a
whirlwind, and has actually made me doing way too many things that I had always
wanted to, but somehow was unable to figure out how & why. But something
happened, and yes indeed, it is the reason behind me actually being much more
active in the REAL world, rather than become a couch potato or a cyber stalker.
And that explains my long absence from this blog. This “something” has actually
got me do things by actually doing them and has gotten me closer to myself than I have ever been,
keeping we in wonder throughout and at the same time preventing me , in the
words of Harsha Bhogle, from becoming a “lover” of life without of course the
“eccentricities of a romantic”…. And
hence I changed the name of my blog to “be
by being”
Its something so subtle that it leaves me in a renewed sense
of awe every single moment- something I must confess I feel deeply inadequate
to describe, while at the same time, it makes me feel complete in every sense !
Such contradictory knowledge!!! Its
nothing but pure unadulterated love and grace that has encompassed me – and
changed me from a person with stubborn , restless & rebellious exterior
hungry for affection and adulation, to a kid who knows that she is loved
unconditionally….aahh !! Its so blissful J
!!!
And I am choosing my words here very carefully, because as
you see, words are so inadequate.
All I can feel is goosebumps of gratefulness- GRATITUDE, for
just being able to realize that I am blessed to be on this path…of depth yet playfulness, of responsibility and
surrender, of solitude and togetherness, of celebration and silence.
Thank you G!!! This silent bliss has permeated into every
aspect of my life and has added so much beauty and colour to it that I feel it
is the most precious gift to me , something I was yearning for for countless
lifetimes..
Thank you Akhilesh Bhaiya, Shashi Di & Tushar
….(basically, the list goes on) J...
@ Akhilesh Bhaiya- You ushered into my life when I was
struggling and badly confused & directionless, and left me with discovering
greater knowledge, strength and beauty that goes on increasing every single
moment. Although I have not spent a lot of time with you, whatever little time
has come my way in the form of the grace of your presence (which is timeless J like G himself) , I feel
blessed by it… Lucky to have you as a mentor J
For everyone reading this, I would recommend to taste this
celebration of silence… Nothing else will do- nothing else matters as much as
this rule of life which is “to do by doing and be by being…”
Am I clear? Or, are you confused ;) ?
Here’s a clue-
“Some questions can be answered only in Silence. Silence is
the goal of all answers. If an answer does not silence the mind it is
"no" answer.
Thoughts are not the goal in themselves. Their goal is Silence.
When you ask the question "Who am I?" you get no answer, there is
silence. That is the real answer. For your soul is solidified silence. This
solidified silence is wisdom, is knowledge.
The easy way to silence the thoughts is to arouse the
feelings. For through feelings only peace, joy and love dawn. And they are all
your very nature.
To the question "Who am I?" the only relevant
answer is silence. You need to discard all answers in words, including "I
am Nothing" or "I am the Cosmic Self" or "I am the
Self" - and just stick to the question "Who am I?". All other
answers are just thoughts. Thoughts can never be complete. Only Silence is
complete.”

those left mystified, as I sign off for
now , let there be some mystery … J
