Advaita in Audi Q5

Advaita in Audi Q5

I sit in a corner with straight back

as I close the eyes gently,

there happens the magic

sense of insecurity vanishes

I watch the breath inhale and exhale

I watch the gap in between the breaths

Mind moves from driver seat to back

I start to drive Audi Q5 of four circles

I drive the body mind circle

I drive the ego, the intellectual hurdle

I drive the past memories that curdle

I drive the anxiety of future that encircles

Mind is historic in time

I am timeless being

Mind is limited to this body

I am connected to the whole

Mind swings back and forth

I am an eternal endless flow

Desire is expelled with exhalation

Fear is expelled with the next

Evolves a desireless, fearless being

Transcending me and mine circle

One big circle that encompasses all

One without a second at all

I am the driver, I am the vehicle

I am the passenger, I am the road

I am the journey, I am the destination

It is an endless journey in a pathless land

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...

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within

Tiger’s Nest Monastery Hike — An Adventurous Awakening Journey Within Paro Taktsang , famously known as the Tiger’s Nest Monastery , is one of Bhutan’s most sacred and breathtaking places — perched on a cliffside at an altitude of around 3,100 meters (10,200 feet) in Paro, Bhutan. It’s not just a hike; it’s a pilgrimage. We began our hike from the base around 7 AM. Wooden walking sticks rented from locals in hand, Strava app turned on, and spirits eager, we followed our guide, Kinzan, who kindly guided us along. We took a “before hike” photo — smiling, unaware of the lessons waiting ahead. The winding path stretched ahead, shaded by tall trees, strings of prayer flags, with hundreds of steps ascending through the forest. Around us, travelers from all over the world climbing along—each group led by its own local guide. Step by step, one foot before the other, the hike began. With every upward step, doubts crept in — Will I make it? The walking stick ...
