A Tale of Two birds

  A   Tale of two birds Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a bird, With a  coo coo  here, and a  coo coo  there, Here a  coo , there a  coo , Everywhere  coo coo ! This bird eats the berries, Some are bitter, some are sweet. Fluttering here, fluttering there, Restless in its endless search. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree there sat a jīva, With a  glub glub  here,  and a  glub glub  there , Here a  glub,  there a  glub   , Everywhere  glub glub   ! The jīva whines in sorrow, The jīva whines in fear. Forgetting its true nature,  It suffers birth after birth. Old Īśvara had a farm, And on this farm He had a tree, And on this tree the jīva met the Guru, And the jīva turned into a bhakta. She asks, “Give me this, give me that,” She prays in sorrow and distress. She makes her bargains and deals Slowly c...

Life is a Yajña

  Life is a Yajña I simply sit and close the eyes I download the mind, I download all its contents, I disregard the past memory, I set aside the worries of future, I look at my life...  I witness the life ... I rise above all selfish demands  I transcend all trivial concerns I allow life to become a yajña. .. I offer this life, as an oblation I offer the personal self,  Me and Mine as an oblation in the fire of wisdom  Vak- The organ of speech I visualize it as Rig Veda I offer all the words that come out I offer speech as an oblation ... I speak the truth when needed to speak I speak only in sweet tones I avoid hurting at all cost Now, the speech is Rig Veda I offer it as an oblation to Īśvara, the whole The Family, Community, Society,  Humanity at large, All life forms in the creation, I offer it as an oblation! Prāṇā -The Vital Force  Breath, Energy, Vigor Pervading the entire body I visualize Prāṇā  as Sama Veda I offer the energy as an oblati...

Opening the Inner Temple of Knowledge

Opening the Inner Temple of Knowledge The rain falls at the Bay, yet no single drop claims authorship. Clouds gather -dense and dark, but none declares, “I give.” Oceans rise as vapor, trees breathe out their offering, sunlight fuels the cycle— and yet none stands apart as the doer Where does money truly flow from? From the labor of the body? From the power of thought? From the ego that claims ownership? Who is the giver? Who is the receiver? The body moves, the mind conceives, the ego asserts— while I simply witness. Everything resolves in Me- There is no separate giver, no separate receiver all arise as one, within one,  from one. When everything arises from one indivisible source, the giver and receiver dissolve; Action happens, without an actor Aim for Seva continues , the window of opportunity lights up from within, the door of the inner temple opens to the truth of knowledge.
