Ultimately...

Ultimately all the fanfare will die down. The hue and cry, the pomp and show, the whys and wherefores...Ultimately it does not matter what went on and what you did...the name, fame and acclaim... the trials and tribulations... the wars and scars... no...nothing matters.

I will exit the body and silence will prevail. And then, I am accountable to myself. Was I true to myself? Did I use the insights God gave me? It is a game. Victory and defeat. And then ultimately, even that doesn't matter...nothing matters. Its a drama.

Distraction IS Maya. I forget Reality.

Amazing Amritvela

Lovely experience during early morning meditation on how the soul rides the body and engages with the surroundings. Completely distinct, naturally peaceful... ah, the joy of living!

Love in disguise

Yesterday someone was venting. Deeply anguished, frustrated, even angry at the sorry state of affairs and of a worthy cause being deeply violated by incompetence and negligence.

The pain was visible and prolonged. Some thoughts that came up:

1. This is love in action... that cannot bear to see an honourable cause being laid waste.
2. Going into the details is not a solution. There are reasons and justifications for everything.
3. The cause is not lost. I can and will make a difference.

Purity is Power

To be free from selfish desires
To be free from short-term thinking
To be free from negativity, waste and ordinariness

To be full of good wishes
To be benevolent and altruistic at all times
To unconditionally see and work with the inherent goodness of all human beings

This is purity - a powerful transformational change agent.
