Offbeat Spirituality

There  I was Near  The inner  Dimensions  Of sanity  Where There was A minuscule  Assemble Of my reality  Here I was Born to be Free Searching Kindness It left Behind us The birdsong The language Of crematory ashes What remains As I search  Tirelessly  For that place  And normality

They ask me to say something about Guru Gobind Singh; They ask what is He to me? I tremble when they ask, "What is He to me?" I think of history, Wars, fierceness & days of victories;  Warriorship that raised generations, Courage, which had no limitations. I learnt early, When things get tough Don't be girly When up against trouble, Meet it squarely,  Burst the bubble; Set the shoulders, Plant your feet, Take a brace, And that's how & when, I remember a Guru's face.

If you are a person who’s alive & breathing, you are spiritual, and when you realize the consciousness that runs your body, you become spiritually inclined. It is not difficult. Being spiritually inclined also doesn’t that you do anything extra than what you are doing right now. It just implies that you become conscious of your thoughts, words, and actions; not do anything that harms others and are in a constant mode of being aware of your connection with the almighty power. How Does A Spiritually Inclined Person Behave? 1.       Sensibly, obviously ! A spiritually inclined person is in control of emotions, doesn’t let the situations or unpleasant circumstances empower his or her virtues. He/she tries to see good in everybody, doesn’t let pride get better of him or her. 2.       For the situations beyond control, a spiritually inclined person wouldn’t fret too much. He/she would learn to go with the flow, develop a positive attitude , and favor t...

You make me smile, Every moment of the day When dawn breaks the morning We cycle together Pacing ourselves Breaking the shelves The blood pulses Desire to go fast is compulsive We become intense Sustaining the breaths Until we are spent The sweat drips Panting, We recover Your obsession keeps me going Tomorrow, I must have you again Life isn't the same without you I love you, I need you, ..... my daily workout.  __________________________________________________________________________ When it comes to creative writing, every individual can learn how to give their thoughts a touch of elegance.

I am nothing but a little being! Carry with me sixty wings Time is slow for those who wait Too long for those who grieve  Joy when fly on the unseen tracks Never a minute comes back It is precious; must do it well For how it is used, I must one day tell Waste minutes, hours go by Day by day; years get lost Make a life, strive Use it wise to survive Art to live just one thing, Do the good that I seek.

She had started to realize that it wasn’t going to happen for her. She was in her thirties. She hadn’t found the right home to stay in it for more than a year. Her first marriage ended in a divorce. She was jobless with a dependent child. After twelve failed attempts at submitting her manuscript, she had enough energy to try just one more time, or give up. She chose to follow her heart, spent months in finding the right agent, and sent her writings again for a review. It was a year before she heard back from a publisher in London whose eight-year-old daughter had shown great interest in the initial chapters, and that’s when J.K. Rowling became famous, progressing to hold the title of the world's first billionaire author. Her creation – Harry Potter is now a global brand worth US$15 billion . Moral: Never ever ever ever give up. Your time is coming. What does Never Giving Up mean? It means having the courage to believe in yourself, to be prepared to accept tough...

When Shree stepped off the bridge in mid-2017, she had every reason for wanting to throw in the crappy hand life had dealt her. Recently divorced, her career was going nowhere, living on her own was proving to be financially tough. But on her way down, she had a realization. If she checked out now, her own children would suffer precisely the same mom-shaped hole in their life as she had. So instead of giving up when she hit the water, she swam to safety. This was despite suffering a collapsed lung, shattered ribs, and burst spleen—all so she might see her kids again. But that isn’t even the amazing bit. That came two weeks later when Shree’s story made it to the newspapers and caught the eye of a serial investor. Specifically, he read about her experience, and it just so happened that she was freaking amazing organic farmer. Within a week of reading her story, he had tracked her down and put two other potential investors in touch. After literally years of trying, Shr...

She's from Bhuvneshwar.  She works as domestic help. She has no family. She isn't educated, doesn't speak/understand our language much. She earns just over 5500 a month. She is poor, but she has empathy. Last night, when the news of Amphan got worse, she arranged to send a tempo-full of essentials to her village. I asked her how she managed it, especially in these times when the households she works at have halted her services. " I took a loan ", she replied. " Why? " " Because didi, this year, the world needs hope more than ever before. " Some hearts know no boundaries. Some hearts are just ordinary, with such extraordinary depth of courage that knowing them becomes a privilege.

Do you miss your school? Those stomach-rumbling noises of inside before exams? The excitement of stepping into a new class, feeling of how you covered one more year, crossed one more hurdle &; are nearer to the goal of becoming what you dreamt?  I am reminded of those days again. Corona pandemic has reintroduced exam-time house-rest in our lives except that this is the time to check how much better each of us has become individually.  Some lines of being successful, rich, or poor have blurred. We all have come to the same platform of self-discipline. Getting up early even when there is no office, maintaining a routine, helping family members and keeping control over self on not getting addicted to Netflix or smartphones are just a few things to be learned. The current education is of building habits & becoming a better version of ourselves. We literally have the most valuable resources of our lives on our hands – ‘Time’ – Lockdown has given us loads of it....

Have you ever had a day when you had a lot of things to do, but didn't have the motivation?  I live plenty of those days.  Sometimes, I am so unmotivated that I allow my work to pile up like crazy.  And then the next few days are spent in the great agony of running to complete deadlines, with no time for fun or enjoyment of any kind. Motivation means different things to different people. To some, it starts with getting up on time in the morning and running their day like a clock. While to others, it could just be that extra cup of coffee that keeps them going. Over the last year, I have observed people around me and have come up with a list of things that keeps them self-motivated. 26 Ways You Can Motivate Yourself 1.   Start small: Big is dangerous. It needs preparation - both physically and mentally, whereas small can be done with only a minute change. You want to leave sugar, don't go from soda and ice creams to buying non-sugary fruits in one da...

Life's painfully halted, No more travel to fulfil my fantasies People, professional, young & old plaguing themselves Corona is our generation's epidemic. Mission is to stay calm and judge priorities, Serving success is not earning silver spoons Indulging in insecurities is hard work, Being loud is our generation's epidemic. Me before you, Confusing emotions corrupt our kindness. Nagging, abusing, letting others down Selfishness is our generation's epidemic.

A friend has Dyspraxia and struggles with balance, co-ordination and spatial awareness. He started driving lessons when he was 17. He struggled straight away and was extremely frustrated. He tried to pass his driving test until he was 23 when he finally succeeded, so this was 6 years in the making. How did he succeed? He made a list of positive words. Every morning he read them aloud, even if he didn't believe in some of them. It made him feel good and with time he started feeling calm and as if nothing could stop him! He felt powerful and confident. He finally discovered 'The Power Of Encouraging Words'.
