Our hobbies defines us!

       We are what we do in our free time. It defines us, isn't it?  In the midst of this hectic life, I suppose what we do during our free time relaxes us, creates us, makes us, and even lives with us. If your job itself is your hobby, congratulations on a happy path ahead. If it is not, then it is our duty that we make sure our hobbies are fulfilling enough to make our lives richer.          Art, in any form, is considered the pinnacle of creativity. If your hobby is to be an artist for an hour a day, then we don't need a doctor for sure. Let the curiosity and imagination go wild in you.      I truly believe each hobby can teach you a skill or two that you can cherish in life. In fact, we truly get to know ourselves when your hobby itself is your passion. The learnings are immense. Imagine creating a world that is so full of life....my fantasy world is defined below: a) Making this earth greener and a happy place by clea...

Artful of life

       I personally feel that artists live life to the core, they experience the simple moments of life, appreciate it more thru words, drawing, clay, or other modes. Isn't it a wonder when you are given a gift that most are struggling with? It is simplicity that makes the difference. Those simple pieces of life like a hearty laugh, family get-together, lunch with an old friend, watching a sunset, smell of the earth on a rainy day, the aroma of the coffee, just make the whole so much better. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Live life like art, Let it be a daily part, Keep your open cart, So your heart can impart, God's grace will start, Begin a chart, Folks are smart, Just don't depart ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Create something new!

     I always wondered what makes Humans creative. Is it brought up? Is it the in-born talent? Even if we are not born to be creative, is it a skill that can be learned? Yes, it can be learned. In fact, any skill can be learned, if we have the dedication. But the question is how?     First I would say, 'Stop thinking'. Yes, the ultimate goal for Humans is to stop being who we are and let the supreme being guide us. It is the best way to be creative. I know, easy said than done. It takes practice to just empty your trash(brain). But there is no alternative. Inner w isdom will give the necessary insights for us to become creative.   Second, 'be a child'. We are had and even now have the child in us. We just have to invoke the inner child in us. Be curious and observant of the events, incidents, situations around us. Nature has all the answers. Creative juices will flow once we let our observations take precedence.     Third, 'Visualise'. Imagination...

Are we(Humans) also the co-creators?

     Interestingly I watched a video of a spiritual guru today where she said we are co-creators of reality along with the Supreme power. Yes, I agree we have all the power to manifest and create our own reality. But it does come at a cost, we are bound to face the consequences of the reality that we create.      Why not we look at it from another angle, why not surrender to the Supreme being to lead the life that he wants us to live? After all, aren't we going slow if we are not on the path laid out by Him? Ultimately He knows the best. If we deviate from this path, obviously, we are slow. Would 'surrender' be the solution to all the problems we have?      It is like a Samurai's sword move, elegant, fearless, guided by his intuition. Wouldn't that be more effective than our own move? Yes, it is the ultimate goal of the human being. Being thoughtless and being guided by supreme power within us. A perfect example would be Tai-chi.   ...

Peace - stay there!

    I am fond of movies and among my favorites lies 'Lucy' acted by Scarlett Johnson. I recently watched it again. It just blows my mind every time I watch it. There is a certain kick, it gives me.  Imagine if we humans had the power to utilize our brains to even 20% like the dolphins. On the contrary, we are said to utilize less than 1% of our brain capacity. If only, we knew how to use it to the maximum. Can meditation be the solution? Or is it to raise our frequencies higher thru music, love, compassion?  Maybe it is the collective consciousness that can help elevate our frequencies higher?      You might have heard of collective consciousness, it can even be achieved by 2 or 3 people willing to improve. When your frequency resonates with the other and the response is multiplied, then we have taken it to the next level. I have felt this. Is this the 'bliss', mankind is looking for?    GIF - Created by me        Eve...

Who Am 'I'?

    I just met a stranger on one of the social media platforms lately. With the introductions around, I asked him who he was. He started with his work, nature of work, how he lost his job a year ago etc. I again asked him, who he was, as his work does not define who he is.     The biggest question is 'Who am "I"?'. Is the 'I', the work, the person in you, the qualities in you, the superficial ego in you?  Let me define the 'I' in me:   I am a human being   I am a dad, son, husband (roles in life)   I am a nature lover    I am a foodie   I am a blogger   I am an artist (pencil sketcher to be precise)   .... the list goes on. We are so much more in life than what we work and the titles that we hold in our job. We are Humans first.  Spirituality the words 'I am' has a very powerful impact on our minds. It is said that if you attach another verb to 'I am' then it influences your way of living thru manifestations. Few of t...

If only...

I now know the secret to living. It is simple. 'Just be'. That was easy. Just two words. 'Just' and 'be'. Let me add another word 'yet'. These 3 words are sufficient to live happily. Forgive me, as I am going back again. If only I knew the truth before. Is it ever possible to know the truth beforehand? It is a misconception that I get to know the truth before. Only when the time is ripe, secrets reveal themselves. Let me introspect myself, when does the time become ripe? Is it when you are ready? What does it mean by when a person is ready, the secret reveals itself. Is it the connection with a universal source of energy? Is it the lessons learnt? Is it the escape from the matrix? Don't know what this ready means. But the only thing I know is, the time has come. I am ready. Once you drink the juice of truth, the rest tastes bland. Thinking about what humans strive for their whole life, I was guided to a message that we look to pass the knowledge to o...
