More
expecting more,
wishing for more,
such a bad habit for more.
More thrills,
more spills,
less bills.
More spends,
more friends,
more trends.
Shorter days,
longer nights
and even longer weekends.
We're always looking for more,
needing more,
searching for more,
but then getting stressed with more.
More excess,
more obsessed,
more depressed.
When will it end,
how to transcend?...from this meaningless life,
that we can't comprehend.

Debt
How'd you go with your New Years resolutions? Did you follow through or are they long forgotten?
On January 1st Sailesh Darshan made a choice. Inspired by one of his mentors, he decided to fast. And for 45 days he did just that. Along with meditation and remaining silent, he withdrew himself from his senses. The Sanskrit word for this process is called pratyahara.
He did it to make a change, a change in himself. And his bold initiative has inspired me and a lot of others around me, to also make some changes.
He's shone some light on a path that few of us even knew was there, let alone had the courage to travel it.
But now I know I'm ready, ready for a change and ready to face the unknown. But most of all I'm finally ready to let go.
I'm finally ready to let go of the past, and to stop creating a future, a future
that's stymied by fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure and most of all, the fear of being judged.
Losing the fear of what others think and embracing your own unique and varied talents, is one of the most liberating processes you can act upon. And for that, I am eternally in your debt.

Tenants
Imagine if whoever created this planet had been asleep for the past few hundred years. I wonder how He'd be if He suddenly woke up? I wonder if He'd be happy with the tenants on His planet. Some places I don't think He would even recognize, as we've done such a good job of removing every little last bit of Mother Nature.

Eyes
No one in the end chose me...
I lovingly chose myself.
I saw the love in me, was the love of Thee.
And the love of Thee, was the same love...
the same love,
as the love for me.
That love that I searched for in the eyes of others, was trying to catch my eye, but not in the eyes of another. Or from the glance of some other.
It caught my eye, in the reflection, of the desire-less mirror, of my pure heart.
That look of love, caught me completely off guard, it was so soft and sweet and not even the tiniest bit hard.
