Neo Dress Culture and the Idiot

Marketing Music Videos has always been an innovative trend. The trends take you to the 'top the charts' for week together until someone which a new idea grapples up to grabs the top spot.

The battle has been on all of the time. The week is only a window for a beginning and end of a research and presentation for the ones who watch that feature.

Innovative music videos can take you to new high.............. or a new low. Sometimes so low, that you begin to wonder, where did your brains go!

I was in a restaurant last night. The management has put up one of the slim TV sets and that was beaming music videos. This music video has two - three guys who are in the lead, but the camera is revealing much more. Around these three guys are about 25-30 girls all in their Neo (read as No) Dress Culture. They are in their barely covering two-cloth pieces and all of them are dancing. So what? Well, it doesn't stop here.

The scene takes us to the swimming pool where these women are on a inflated rubber bed floating on water and the men jump, hungrily stretch in the water to grab these hot girls. As they have almost had their grip, the girls laughingly push them away. The scene continues...

Now, I looked the other way and saw many people look at these videos with food in hand and mouth gaping. The food in hand and plate are going cold and the viewers are turning hot. What a paradox!

Here is the best part...

I am thinking...... Now, these viewers, will come alive in the role of Santa and Banta Singh. They will go home and cheekily turn on their PC's, laptops or their gadgets, connect to the net and relive their exciting moments with this music video again and again..... with only one thought in his mind ......... Let's see if the guys are able to get a hold of the girls this time! Again, the room is turning hot, turn the AC on please.

Growing up with Pains

I remember my childhood days. They were not always with fond memories. There were particular nights when I would writh with pain in my legs and my father would press my legs hard until I feel asleep. They took me to a doctor and the doctor told them theat these were growing up pains. I wonder whether my parents also had similar pains in their legs when they were growing up for they chose not to question the doctor.

I grew up into my teenage and this was clearly a time for me to pay back. My father, a geologist, would come back home at about 9.30pm, have dinner and then he would listen to news on the radio. He too would complain of pain in the legs and I would press his legs. At times, the pain in his legs was so severe that he would ask me to stand on his legs. And I thought since he climbs mountains, he has pain in his legs.

Time passed and I learnt Yoga and also got an opportunity to study Ayurveda with pulse diagnosis from the foothills of the Himalayas.

One day, a mother brought her 14 year son complaining of pains in the legs. She said, she had consulted with other doctors and they had told her that these were growing up pains. It was a term too familiar. I looked up his pulse and found that his digestion was not appropriate. A proper diet which excluded junk foods, and included eating when hungry and indicative times of meals and what to eat and clearing bowels in the morning sorted out the problem.

I reflected back into my childhood and realised what my pains were all about and I found the answer... disturbed digestion and untimely bowel evacuation.

Recently, my daughter complained of leg pains and I just knew what the problem is. Asking a question or two sorted out the problem and with improvement in digestion and regularising bowel evacuation, her pains were gone.

Modern medical doctors are of the impression that the body of a child experinces pain while growing up and there is nothing much one can do about it.

Here are some simple tips you can follow;

Do not give your children sweets after food. Sweets can be had before starting a meal. This improves digestion and assimilation. Sweets do not include chocolates

Do not drink water after food (span it by 45 minutes). Children can drink not more than 2-3 sips of water during meals

Lunch can be served latest by 12.30pm and dinner latest by 7pm

Switch of television sets, gadgets and avoid reading while eating. All these take your mind away from focussing on food resulting in over-eating and later, disturbed digestion

Do not bathe after breakfast. Bathe on an empty stomach and then breakfast will get properly digested

These dietary tips help not only children, but also adults in losing weight and improving overall health

Try these dietary tips and share your feedback. My children not on diet and are free of growing up pains. Infact, I have come to the realisation that there is indeed nothing called growing up pains. Wellness doesn't come from hospitals and doctors. When your children are growing up with pains, try to understand what's going wrong. A few corrective steps will help your children jump with joy.

Do not Forgive Anyone

The innate need for everyone to free themselves of accumulated hatred, anger, greed, jealousy, sorrow and fear causes people to forgive one another.

We have to question ourselves.

Does it really work?

I have seen people forgiving one another, then, after sometime, they start behaving like animals with one another again. Then, they go through one more session of forgiveness. So, animal behaviour...... forgiveness...... animal behaviour...... forgiveness and this goes on.

Where is transformation in this behaviour?

True forgiveness is eternal. It humbles you. True forgiveness is where you're no longer associating with what others said or did. True forgiveness is returning to God's Love.

Once you return, then, there is no going back to animal ways.

In forgiveness, there is greatness, not the greatness that one feels when he or she has accomplished something. Greatness is when you return to your and operate from being the Self.

The Self or Atman is ever forgiving. Its inability to harbour any feeling other than pure and unconditional love is its greatness. Such greatness in man can only arrive when he operated from being the Self.

My dear reader, yes... you...

Forgive your thoughts, feelings, memories, your prejudices and your beliefs. That is real forgiveness.

There is no one else to forgive. You do need to forgive yourself for acting out of your thoughts, feelings and beliefs and this this humbles you.

By forgiving others,  you give more power to the ego that you are right and the other is not.

The Gods Amidst Us all

During my schooling years, I was taught in school some sanskrit verses which many of you also have. It reads...

Matru Devo Bhava

Pitru Devo Bhava

Acharya Devo Bhava

Athiti Devo Bhava

After several years, I also learnt that this rendition is from the the Taittiriya Upanishad, a text, sacred to the Hindus.

The above sanskrit verse was translated to me and my classmates by our teacher. Our teacher said it meant that..

I express and feel Godly feelings towards my mother

I express and feel Godly feelings towards my father

I express express and feel Godly feelings towards my mentor

and I express and feel Godly feelings towards our guest

further the sloka prescribes for the student to speak truth first and always choose truth as the first among options, to act righteously and always choose the righteous way first among options, and so on...

Today, I am a parent and I look at the above verses differently.

Matru Devo Bhava

My mother is my God. This, to me means, all that I see and feel my mother say, do and feel for herself and for others, are Godlike to me and I will absorb it and live by her to the best of my ability.

Pitru Devo Bhava

My father is my God. This, to me means, all that I see and feel my father say, do and feel for himself and others, are Godlike to me, pure and perfect, and I will absorb it and live by him to the best of my ability.

Acharya Devo Bhava

My teachers (realising that mentors have a different quality and are hard to find), are my God. This to me means that all that I see and feel they say, do and feel for themselves and for others are Godlike to me, pure and perfect, and I will absorb it and live by them to the best of my ability.

Athiti Devo Bhava

Guests who walk into my life are Godlike to me. I will absorb all that I see and feel them say, do and feel for themselves and others which are pure and perfect, and live by the truth I see and feel.

Having said this, I now ask you to place yourself in the position of Matru (Mother), Pitru (Father), Acharya (Teacher), and finally as the Athiti (Guest). And know that your children, students or your juniors in office follow you as an example to live by.

What qualities of thoughts, words and actions would you want your children, students or your juniors in office to live by? The answer lies in your thoughts, feelings, words and actions that you create for yourself and for others. You are your answer.

This, I believe, is the greatest gift I can give to my children, students and to any other person I meet in life.

Be the God that you want your children, students and your juniors to see.

Need I say more?

Ocean of Love

All of creation started from nothing. 'Nothing' also means, 'No one thing', which is everything. Everything is present. All manifestations are timed appropriately. Each and every aspect of creation manifests at the appropriate time and also merges back into the 'Ocean of love' at the appropriate time. Nothing is separate. All of creation that has come into its being. Its existence is present, here and now, within the ocean of love. The Ocean of love is All that is!

The Ocean of Love wanted to experience itself and so, manifested itself as Man, with a heart to experience and an intellect to express the grandeur of the Ocean of Love. Man arrived with his sense of purpose. He wished that he not only swim in the Ocean of love, but also create shores from where he can experience the grandeur of His creation. Man's wish was granted and shores manifested.

Man began experiencing the grandeur of the Ocean of Love. For a moment, he turned around to see what's behind him. The Ocean of Love, in its benevolent loving way, had also created everything Man needed for the time he will spend experiencing the grandeur of the Ocean of Love, all that was required for his shelter, clothing and his nourishment.

Man learned to create his shelter and clothing and used the fruits around him as food to nourish his body. Soon, Man continued focussing so much on making his shelter stronger and stocking clothing and food that he forgot the very purpose of coming to the shores.

Man continued his self taught mission and created more of his kind. His kind followed what Man did... create shelter, stock clothing and food.

The Ocean of Love, in its benevolent loving way, manifested itself into another Man who, with his heart and intellect, pure as the first Man who had arrived. The new Man, arrived only to remind the other men, the purpose of their coming. The new Man directed these men to the Ocean of Love, which had always been there. Some of the men, who had no knowing of the Ocean of Love, upon realising, their purpose of being on the shores, quickly grasped the idea, while others who were ignorant, chose to be so. Some others experienced the grandeur and revered the new Man and created a shelter for Him.

This, man called, 'The Temple'. The many men who were born in time, left the shores to go deeper into the woods and had also waged wars, grabbed land and established colonies. As time passed, many such Men arrived from the Ocean of Love, to reveal to the men the purpose. Some men in these colonies, likewise were mersmerised by the grandeur of the Ocean of Love and pursued their purpose, while some others chose to build more temples and the rest chose to be ignorant.

Man learnt to manipulate in his mind the ways and means of existing. Sometimes, he chose to be a messenger of God, sometimes, being a trader, sometimes, a farmer, an engineer, a doctor, a politician, a lawyer and so on. Man calls himself a Hindu, a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist, and what not.

Today, Man has separated himself from the Ocean of Love to such an extent that he at times, believes the Ocean of Love doesn't even exist. The Ocean of Love, in its benevolent, peaceful and loving way, continues to send in time, Man after Man to reveal to the man on earth, the very purpose of his arrival on the shores. You may call the Man as Vishnu, Narayana, Shiva, mahavtar babaji, Lakshmi, Parvati, Rama, Krishna, Jesus, Buddha, Mohammad, Ramanuja, Akka Maha Devi, Sri Raghavendra, Shirdi Sai, Ananda Moyee  Ma, Sri Ramana, Parahansa Yogananda, Sathya Sai or any other. That Man and you, all have come with the one purpose... to appreciate the grandeur of the Ocean of Love that you are. When you are done, jump back into the Ocean of Love.

If you choose to get attached to all that you believe you created on earth or wherever, the Ocean of Love will send you back, only so you can let it all be, and return to the Ocean of Love, just the way you came. Sometime in the future, you will again be sent as Man by the Ocean of Love, so you too may reveal, to the several millions of men on earth who need to be reminded their purpose.

God Speaks - 1

There is no such time as tomorrow. The perfect presence is in the now. Stay in the now. The now is everything. 

Every thought, every moment you lose, you lose yourself in the now. Here is where everything begins, here is where everything merges. The now is the eternal moment.

Stay aware, awake, alert and be a part of the journey. Don't lose yourself. The loss you perceive will lead to karma. Karma is the perfect teacher. There is neither good nor bad. There is only the experience. Through experience, you learn. Learning is the most important part of an experience. There is no learning without experience. Even if you learn from others' experience, you are still experiencing through the other.

I am the eternal guide. I reside in each one of you and everything, plants, animals and all of creation. I exist in every particle. I am awareness. There is nothing that exists without Me. I am All That Is.

-- Received in Meditation by Mahesh Krishnamurthy

Namaskara Mudra

Various connotations have emerged in print and visual media expounding the meanings of namaskara mudra. Here truth reveals itself.

The Rishis knew from their research and practice that there is only one love... God's Love. And that every other emotion is futile... a waste of precious life-force energy.

They also found out that God's love is constantly flowing through each one of us. In their meditations, the realisation dawned that God's Love flows through us so it can be shared.

They were faced with a logical question. If God's love is flowing through each and everything all of the time, then why share?

The answer came - By sharing anything, we enhance its quality and quantity. If we share joy, we experience more joy. If we share unhappy stories, we will get to hear other's unhappy stories too. What you share just multiplies.

Hence, namaskara mudra, the position of meeting of palm and fingers of both hands, is a practice of sharing God's love. By sharing God's love with as many aspects of creation as possible, the rishis opened up the themselves to gushes of God's love which helped them be in bliss.

Here is how you can practice Namaskara Mudra -

Position your hands with both hands held together with palm and fingers on the breast bone in such a way that they are pointed away from the chest. Holding this posture breathe. With every inhalation, receive God's love into you through the crown and chest and when you breathe out, direct God's love out of your chest. Practice directing God's love to everyone and every thing and soon you will realise that your state of awareness has risen to a state of love and joy.

Make this practice a priority which will help you stay in your natural state which is pure love and joy.

Namaste.

--Mahesh Krishnamurthy

The Soul

Eyes are the window to the Soul. When I look at anyone, I look at their eyes and connect to the Soul within. This will reflect my reality. 

However, when I have perceptions, thoughts, feelings, emotions and beliefs, they form a veil preventing me from connecting to the Soul in the body I meet. I instead focus on details which seem different from what they are because of the thoughts, feelings, perceptions, emotions and beliefs and that forms a veil.

This begins the process of learning... learning where I am and where I need to be. All practices of forgiveness, practicing unconditional love and acceptance, are practices that help remove the veil. 

The journey of life is to remain without the veil so we can truly live the life we have come to live.

-- Mahesh Krishnamurthy

Merge in God

Meditation is to discover your hidden abilities. The more abilities your discover, the more abilities you will uncover. Where is the end then? We don't know if there is ever an end. In God, there is no end.

While discovering your abilities, you also discover your potential to love more, be more inclusive, and to be more in command of your situation. You experience an aura of divinity around you. You begin to live in God and allow God to live in you.

Remember, God is never distant or distinct from you.

There are countless methods of getting into meditation. Here's one for you;

Thumb Meditation - 

Sit in a comfortable position, either cross-legged, or on a chair. Have 1-2 pillows on your lap. Place your right or left forearm on the pillow with your fingers forming a fist. Stick your thumb out. Begin witnessing your thumb. By witness, is to just observe without looking at the details. Keep observing this way until you become completely empty and enter into a state of meditation. When you observe for more than 30 minutes, you enter into a state of Samadhi.

Be aware to use the same hand, be it the right or the left everytime.

Its only through meditation that you merge in God.

--Mahesh Krishnamurthy

Never Say Sorry...

I am sorry. It is such an easy phrase which hangs from almost all of our tongues. These magical words seemingly makes our life perfect. We can do anything, any how, say anything we want and get away with 'I am sorry'.

This habit and pattern has been passed on from one generation to the next from centuries and across countries and continents and it is possibly one of the most adopted habits and patterns.

Did you even know that the word 'sorry', literally is used in an expression of compassion or condolence towards others. You don't used 'sorry' to defend yourself!

I use the word defend because, we use the phrase 'I am sorry' to mask or cover up our act so we can quickly get out of the situation. We shy away from the situation. We don't want to resolve. We don't want to learn.

On the contrary, the best way to move forward is by resolving the issue or experience by learning from it. Many people however, do not know how to go about the learning. 

What's the way?

The highest way that is advocated is to focus every part of you towards the learning. For you to learn, first, you need to own up unconditional responsibility for what you have done. Own responsibility only for what you have done, not for what others have done or for what others want you to own up responsibility.

Owning up responsibility for what you have done is the most courageous step you can take. Owning up responsibility for what others have done is self sabotage. It's a step taken out of emotional weakness.

Once you have owned responsibility, initiate active steps so as to never repeat your thoughts, words and actions ever again. 

How to learn from experiences?

Once you have owned up responsibility for what you have done, don't shy away. Stay with the experience mentally all the time without prejudice, guilt or shame. Allow the experience to reflect back to you from all sides. Be with yourself and your experience. Know that this experience has come to you for your learning only. What others have to do with their part of the experience is something they have to figure out. Don't worry about what others think of you or say to you. Your only objective now is to learn from your experience.

As you allow everything connected with experience to just be, the learning will happen. Your openness to receive the learnings is crucial. Allowing is very important. Resistance will breed judgment, so don't judge. Just allow.

This way you can learn from every single experience without giving into judgment and the emotions that judgment breeds.

Always choose to be a learner, a warrior of wisdom. Choose not not to live in shameful, sinful regret and repentance.

--Mahesh Krishnamurthy

Befriending Death

People are afraid of death. It is the unspoken word in families. People reprimand children and verbally silence others who, during conversation, speak of living persons in the context of death.

What is death? Why are people so afraid of death?

In the Hindu mythology, the God of Death, Yama is depicted as a dark skinned divine persona sitting on a buffalo and with a strong rope in one hand and a mace in the other. Depictions in the picture story books show Yama throwing a noose around the neck of a person whose lifetime is apparently coming to a end, and dragging the soul out of the body seemingly, ending the existence of the destined person. Death is projected in such a fearsome way.

I am writing this blogpost as it has been received, so you, the reader may know the truth. Read it and you may share it with any other person who is ready to receive this information or the terminally ill persons who are in the waiting of their end.

If you know what silence means, the rest of the information is easy to assimilate. 

Silence is profound, deep, complete and all encompassing.

During death, silence deepens. As silence grows deeper, it gets deafening. In this silence, everything is enveloped. It is as if, every particle of everything gets filled with silence bringing everything to an abrupt end.  And everything with which you have identified with the most, your ego, is wiped out. There is nothing. Neither darkness, nor light. There is indeed nothing. This nothingness, the loss of one's egoself is what we are fear.

When you meet people with terminal illnesses like cancer, HIV, AIDS, and also the aged people, look into their eyes and you see fear. They are fearing death in the waiting. Why waste time in waiting? Why not meditate?

Meditation is a process of finding silence which is within us and befriending the silence. Once you have befriended silence, visit silence everyday and several times a day. Then, you will not fear silence anymore. You will then embrace death.

For those who embrace death, there is no death. There is only eternity or infinity.

-- Mahesh Krishnamurthy 

A Revelation

When I sit in meditation, I believe I am in the present. It is the truth. I am indeed in the present. Every breath is new. Every out breath is an invitation to the next new breath. I am in meditation now.

I continue to be in meditation for several moments. It is beautiful. Blissful moments of peace surrounds me. Slowly and in the most subtle way, the mind steals the moment and plays the passed moments of breath awareness into a loop.

I don't even realise I am stuck in the past. I simply lose myself from the moment and into the past. I am feeling happy, blissful and joyous. Yet, I am not in the moment. Everything is there. The joy, the bliss, its all there.... except the freshness of the now moment.

I have now come to know "Repetitive experiences of joy and bliss cannot satisfy you. The newness of your being in the moment only can fill you.™"

- Mahesh Krishnamurthy

Love is God-God is Love

Love is God - God is Love. Its that simple. Everything is simple in this world. Nothing is impossible Everything in this world has a process to it. If you want a passport, you have a process to get one. If you want a house to buy, rent or lease, you have a process. The process may be different in different cities and countries, yet, you have a process.

If you want to experience God....., then, you have to be a child once again. And, there is no process to it. The only thing in this world that does not have or need a process is to know God, to be God. Its the simplest of all. And, its not easy. Its not easy because, to be a child once again means to not care about anything that's happening around you. Its to let everything be as it is. To see perfection in everything. Its that simple. To be God and to know God, just ask a kid what being a kid is like. Don't ask a kid what being God is like! They wont understand your question. If I asked you to explain what being hungry is like, can you answer? You know it, but you just can't put it into words, right? Being God is just like that. You know it, but you just can't explain. A kid cant explain.

So, what stops us from being God then, if it that simple?

The answer is us. We stop ourselves from being God, from knowing God, from experiencing God. We are too important for ourselves and for the rest of the world. We believe, we need to know what is happening around us. We believe, to be unmindful of the happenings around us is being ignorant. We need to be 'well informed'. We need to be connected to the happenings around us, not to God.

We read about simpllicity, about simple living. We read Mahatma Gandhi, Aristotle, Confucius. Yet, when it comes to practice, we practice being of the world, not of God. We have discussions, seminars, workshops and what not, on knowing God and being God. None of them are wrong. They are a stop in the process. Read the previous sentence again. They are not a step. They are a stop in the process.

All we need is to stop living in the mind and for one moment, only for one moment, stop. Stop right now wherever you are, whatever you are doing. just be. Don't do anything, just be. What do you feel like? Empty? nothing? silent? Continue this feeling of whatever your feeling is like for a few more moments. Now just be, even while reading the rest of this article. Are you still being? Practice just being. This is being God. Its that simple.

In this simplicity, all the greatest truths are revealed. All that you need to know is known. The unknown is a myth here. In this simplicity, nothing matters. Its just being. Now you know what a kid is like! Just be. Knowing God, Being God is... Just Be, And you are - being God, being Love.

-Mahesh Krishnamurthy

What is Time?

Our daughter was 3 years of age when we registered her into a play school. The school opened at 9am everyday. It was just then that her mother had taught her how to bathe all by herself. Our daughter took such liking to the exercise that she would keep bathing until we had to go into the bathroom and tell her, bath over and wipe her dry.

We watched her a few days without knowing what to do because the school would open at 9 and she would keep bathing completely unaffected by time.

One day, I told her, 'get ready in 10 minutes. You are getting late to school.' She looked at me completely lost, not able to understand what I had told her. 10 minutes later... the concept was very new to her.

Do you know, children always live in the present. They have no future and definitely do not live in the past unless their parents keep talking about it.

For children, time is the present moment. So, what is time for us? We have grown out of our infancy and are growing up or grown ups. What is time for us? Have you seen time?

This is way I see it!

The Sun, rises every morning and sets every evening. This is a fact we all know. And the Sun doesn't set for you, me or for anyone else. The rising and setting just happens everyday. However, if and when you or me or anyone are present at that location at the given moment of rising or setting, we are in time. We are then a witness to the rising or setting of Sun. This moment is called time. And time cannot be replicated. It cannot be even replaced. You could be somewhere else, witnessing something else and you are still on time. Just the place, situation you are witnessing is different. But, you are still on time.

That's why the elders say, 'Time doesn't wait for us.' The fact is, nothing waits for us. Everything is just a happening. If you present yourself in the moment, you are a part of the situation. You are a witness.

Disciplining yourself to be on time is very important. If you did not learn from your lessons of not being timely, you risk missing the moment. When anything and everything can change in a moment, is the risk of absenting yourself from the moment worth taking?

Unlike the television, in life, there are no replays. Time is everything.

--Mahesh Krishnamurthy

Mediocre to Top

The mediocre citizen of any country does not see happiness in the place of dwelling. Every inch of that space has to be made use of and then begins a pursuit for happiness. Balconies are meant for drying clothes and to store away junk, Every little inch is made use of to stock unused materials that will supposedly be required in the future.

The rich are busy investing their riches only with the dream of becoming richer and they are getting deeper into debt. The richer you want to become, the greater your debt will be.

True happiness does not come this way!

We are always manifesting. We always manifest situations that enhance or increase our present state of feeling.

Intent is the purposeful and directional living in the moment. Practice being intentionally happy.

The way is very simple; Look for reasons that restore happiness. With regular and consistent practice you will experience happiness without a reason.

There is no happiness in the future. Happiness now is the beginning of a happy future.

-- Mahesh Krishnamurthy

A calm in the chaos

The traffic scenario in Bangalore is nothing new to talk about! The saying goes, if you want to create a traffic jam in Bangalore, follow traffic rules.

While driving, there are so many challenges I face, one which disturbs is when people cut your path. 2-wheelers and sometimes 4-wheelers also overtake me from the left and turn right or vice-versa. If you drive in Bangalore, you may be only too familiar.

I was recently in one such challenging situation where several vehicles were caught in a cross-section. Each driver was trying to outdo the other driver on their left or right and were inching forward towards freedom. Some were shouting, some were widening their eyes staring at others intimidating the others. Some were honking mindlessly while others waited patiently for this karmic chaos to untangle itself.

As I watched all this, while being a part of the melee, something changed. While being a part of this melee, I felt I was apart from it. I saw how each one of the people driving their vehicles were trying to outdo the vehicle and not the driver. And sometimes we feel as if we are the targets at traffic jams.

With this new found theory, the next time I encountered a jam, I practiced being a witness during the whole traffic jam experience and everything was calm and peaceful around me. The other vehicles around me passed leaving enough space for me to travel smoothly.

If we all can practice being a little aware, surely we can all have a more peaceful traffic experience.

What am I looking for?

Sipping coffee early morning, I am looking into the screen wondering...

What am I looking for in life?
Why do I work?
Why do I holiday?
Why do I do what I do?
And... Why is it that sometimes, I feel like doing nothing?

I realise, I am looking for something, a space, a place may be, where I can be. A place where I wish to be for which I work, holiday and do whatever I thought of, only because, I wished this or that act will take me to that space.

That space has seemed out of reach several times, and at times, I have had a glimpse or feel of its serenity, quiet and that all-encompassing bliss, the feeling of fulfilment, of accomplishment.  Realising the feeling of fulfilment and accomplishment stops me from running away and instead, makes me stop and be still within.

Practicing inner aloneness is the only way to get to the inner space. When I practice inner aloneness, this space simply seems to emerge out of nowhere. All working days, holidays, money, pleasure, luxury, wife, family are of little use if I did not see and feel the inner aloneness in everything. It binds or fuses everything into one single thread called emptiness.

In this emptiness is everything. Everything you can ever conceive of is here, comes from here.
I came empty. If I can remain empty every moment in this journey, I will have everything I need... everything.

My Journey is here... in the emptiness, seeing it, feeling it, living it through every experience. Come, journey with me.
