Breakfast Continued

A thought came by which keeps telling me that everything is an event and nothing is a product. Extension to the bowl, spoon we use to eat the cereals for breakfast which is actually many many events coming together. Does it mean WE are not any product, but an event... Earlier Breakfast article ,,,

Borrowed Canvas

Art by Shivani Jagan

Normally unconscious collaborates with the Conscious without friction. One day I posed myself as a painter, my daughter and my wife can do decent painting. I have never tried it. I borrowed a canvas from them painted direct acrylic colour. No sketch. No plan. All I wanted to call it was '"State of Mind" I imagined my subconscious, brought it to a conscious level painted.. whatever came. I enjoyed the freedom when I did that. Complete to myself, no fear, no shame, no nothing, it looked like a mind which wanted to say it all at the same time. Painting is hiding somewhere. People at home said, I can do something different.. May be I am gonna have the guts to frame it...

My office People Attended a 2 day reflection course

A couple from my office spent 2 days in a life transforming program. they sent me a note on their learning...

• Eliminate Starting trouble i.e. gap between wake up and getting up.
• Do whatever you want to do, if, You would like your child to follow the same. You would do it in the presence of your parents. You would do it in the place of worship.
• Do not get disturbed by small incidents.Keep everything simple, do not complicate matters.Always think positively. Never allow negative thoughts in your mind.
• Think before you say anything.Do not promise without knowing what you are promising.
• Power of man is the power of mind,Power of mind is the power of subconscious mind.Power of subconscious mind is the power of subconscious beliefs. Subconscious beliefs are built by making and honouring commitments.Do not commit. If committed, do everything possible to honour it.
• Always think of your teacher, be in the company of good people, always have good thoughts (Buddham saranam kachaami, Sangam saranam kachaami, Dharmam saranam kachaami).Concentrate on one process at a time with intensity.Expectation + Non Acceptance è Leads to Anger.Expectation + Acceptance è Tolerated.Be organized. i.e. Time for anything and anything in that time, Place for anything and anything in that time.To beat it, be at it.Control your Body, Mind / Thoughts and your emotions.
• Do not get angry with anyone. Communicate till he/she gets satisfied/clarified. Through communication make him/her to understand. If not, learn how to communicate and then continue.Calm & peaceful mind will hold and create more thoughts than a turbulent mind.
• Don’t fear, just face it.
• Keep faith in you, believe in you

Reflect - May be You would like it

Art by Shivani Jagan

Trying to be with myself, asking whether the sync between my associations is happening.. the way it should, where at the end of it, does these associations leave a peace within myself.. even though technically I am not supposed search outside and go within.. Dialogue to myself on a Sunday morning will be very different from the Dialogue on a Monday morning though. I am trying to dwell on the state of mind & peace within.. Actually concept of I will play a role when one really starts going in deep within.. the heart, mind will need to peacefully co exist and the economies of everyday living will add, while you try to reflect as we are guided by the past with a clear uncertain future which you think we want to create.

I loose myself when I become that and the moment I am gonna loose, that very fine moment where it is yet to happen, it is not happening, may be if it happens it is not that... waiting..

Special Needs Children

My wife works with Special Needs Children for the last 9 years.. This morning I asked her do you take it up with the parents if you see that their anxiety is a contributing factor where the child is now anxiety ridden... No, not exactly she said.. why they become anxious is a factor to look at and other factors and she kept adding too many technical details and I could not follow.. If you feel that pressure on parents at Home, Work, their anxieties, insecurities is a contributing factor or otherwise .. pl post your comments here..

Director in God

This morning I read somewhere that God is not a judge, he is like a Director in a movie - for the Director both Hero and Villan are equally important. ( There is a story when Pandavas went to Heaven - years after winning .. they found Dhuriyodhana already there !!! .. may be Krishna in you is handling the Arjuna in you and the Dhuriyodhana in you !!! ).. we go all the way to a temple and in front of the Deity we close our eyes - may be God is gently suggesting, Eh Man ! I am inside you - one can even give up the search and start appreciating the existence. inside u.. !! Saturday mood is good, weather is beautiful !!! looking for a great weekend..

Coffee Mug

I have a coffee Mug, which I always felt, I possess. Mine for too long. Yesterday I see My Mug with all the other coffee Mugs in the office. Oh No, unacceptable was my reaction. .. I wanted to ensure it is not gonna go anywhere. As I start pouring the hot water for my coffee, the Mug breaks, all happening within 2 minutes from the thought it is only mine.. I had the Mug.. It happens.

Student in Me

My son, student of Medicine called me and as usual asked him on his current course and he said that yesterday I saw in the Emergency Department and a lady came there who had consumed poison, and today I am in the autopsy department - same person dad... Oh Man , we don't have too many doctors in our family - tough to get to accept reality..

Breakfast

This morning as I poured milk on the cereals, I was amazed at the power of existence... It looks like the whole universe has worked for me to get the glass bowl, various grains and sugar in the cereal, the spoon, leave alone the trillion things which happen in my body when I need to pour, mix, take the spoon to the mouth, eat ... we are taking too many things for granted... emotional... existence

My neighbour's 2 year old daughter

Amazing is her frame of mind, she has started prioritizing our meeting times. She has her own agenda. No more I have the liberty to pick her up whenever I want to. Says okay JJ bye. .. bye. buy chocki from markit.. shaking her head as if I have already agreed and she has taken the 1st bite of the chocki.. I see her now trying to get the little transistor ON ( I am one of the few who still hang on to the once fashion and the inthing) where there is only 1 battery and it needs 2 though. She is pushing it once to the right, trying to switch ON and seeing it is not working, now she tries to push it to the left and it is still not working. She tells me JJ cell markit.. with a smile worth a trillion... I never thought I would get a nice little kid just across our house, this little angel is the looking forward every evening when I get back from work. All great things come free. God thanks again,
