My Freedom of Expression

Life: Here and Now (Part 3-last )

2012-11-26T04:34:00.002-08:00

Think of beauty, joy, hope, love, and everything that is good

The more you embrace what is positive and beautiful in your life, with all your thoughts and feelings and expressions, the more you attract positivity. The more you chose to ponder on or react to what is not good, painful, and shameful or embarrassing in your life, the more you invite negativity. There WILL be negativity, always around. You can decide not to include it in your life by not reacting negatively at the negativity. Replace whatever is negative, like a feeling, an event, with positivity. How? Just by changing the way you feel or react to it.

For example, one fine morning, when I reached office, I came to know that my colleague was promoted to the post, which was my target for the year. I felt a sense of betrayal and jealousy at that moment. But I simply replaced that with hope, “who knows may be there is something much better than this in store for me” and I went back to work happily. A few days later I came to know that the post, to which my colleague was promoted, involved a change of location, which was impossible for me. And then again I got an additional role, which later let me pursue my dream career, plus a hefty increment!

Life does not happen, you create it

By changing the way how you feel right now, you take charge of your life. Life does not happen to you any more, keeping you at the receiving end. You start giving out what you want to receive back. Be loving and happy in your thoughts, feelings, and reactions with people and situations around you. You will receive love and happiness…and all that you want.

This is YOUR life, and YOU are to choose your destiny. By choosing between positive and negative energies at this moment, RIGHT NOW, you change your life, the way You want.

The ultimate truth is "Change"

2012-07-22T10:29:00.001-07:00

We always try to hold on to things...love, youth, beauty, money, relationships, position, recognition and everything which comes on our way or what we earn. This is a very common human trait, and the biggest challenge in itself. This is the biggest challenge of a human life as this trait in us takes us against Mother Nature. Yes, the Nature...change is the ultimate truth of nature. Being a part of this nature, change is inevitable to us, in every aspect of human life.

Change is inevitable...unstoppable...inescapable, perhaps this the truth each and every human being is fully aware of, deep down in his heart. In worst cases, the truth dwells in the subconscious and unconscious minds, bothering human constantly, making him build a strong resistance, a delusion, in his real life and conscious mind that he has everything under his control. After that, his ego and eventually his fear overpower him and make his life a total mess.

Men struggle to accept this ultimate truth of the entire cosmos, “change". What comes in between? What causes the struggle? Is that ignorance? Is that our Ego? Is that the frailty of being human? Holding onto and letting go... the whole life, as if, a permutation and combination of these two phrases. What do we hold onto? What part we let go? Who will decide? Time or I? The processes, the struggle, the wait... all of it incur both pain and pleasure in our life span. This is the mystery of human life, makes it beautiful, interesting and worth living.

At the end, accepting the reality gives us freedom from pain… change is inevitable. Let us accept it and move on. J

Khwahishe jo ehsaas se banti hai
Bhula deti hai bandisheyn
Urne lagte hai asmaan par
Kya duniyadari, kya ranjisheyn

Shayad ek jahan aisa bhi hai
Jahan urrne par paandhi nehi

Behne par nehi puchhte nehi "kiyun"?
Len-den main hi zindegi ke maine nehi khoti

Naftrat ki andhi har raat jeet ke nehi laut-ti
Aansu hasi main zaroor badalte hai
Mohabbat se roshan ek aadh diye bhi
Khamoshi se andhera mitati hai

Jo diya jalakar tumne,
Ruh ko mere roshan kiya
Wohi roshni bikharte dekha
Jaha tha chhaya andhiyara

Chalo wahan chale savera ban ke
Jaha raat kabhi khatm hua nehi
Muskurahat bikhrayen motiyon si
Jahan aansuyon ne daman chhora nehi.

Not all who wander are aimless!

2012-07-04T10:34:00.000-07:00

Remember the film Mona Lisa Smile? I watched it several times...loved it, without contemplating ever on the reason why I liked it. Two days back, while surfing the channels, I caught last few scenes from the movie. The last part had the key dialogues, told me why I liked the movie, back then, and even now. I am going to share a few lines told by Betty Warren, with which I totally, completely and whole-heartedly agree. This particular dialogue and its meaning made me realize deep inside me, as to why I loved this movie.

Betty Warren: I've heard her called a quitter for leaving and aimless wanderer. But not all who wander are aimless, especially those who seek truth beyond tradition, beyond definition, beyond the image. I'll never forget you.

Those who have not watched this classic, please do watch. :) You will know that quitting on something at times does not make you loser, neither holding onto everything makes you any stronger or winner all the time. When we seek the truth, we must not follow any tradition, any set rules, any damn format. We must be dare enough to let go of all pre-conceived ideas, free enough to perceive things without prejudice, beyond pre-defined texts, break free of all self-developed subjective truths to perceive that ultimate Satya, the truth!

The search may and will turn you into a wanderer in the eyes of the normal world...they will say, "oh the aimless person on a rudderless ship". But in reality, you are a wanderer, but not aimless. You, the lucky one to have started your journey to seek the truth.....you are actually much more ahead of your peers in that search! :)

Here is to us, the wanderers... the seeker of truth! Cheers! Love live our journey! Long live the quest!

Thank you Lord Shiva! :)

Lost and found...

2012-06-15T21:24:00.000-07:00

These are a few water color paintings by me....painted in 2007, Kolkata. I lost these somewhere, but these remained somewhere in my almirah. I miss painting, an activity to calm down the racing mind. Will start as soon as I get time, hopefully. :)

All are damaged, discolored... but still a part of mine...remind me of the happiness I felt while painting these. I do not take care of anything at times....which is bad.My parents have kept my paintings back at my paternal home, in better condition.

A note to all on my 34th birthday!

2012-06-14T00:30:00.002-07:00

Today is my 34th birthday. :)

As always (post 2002), my husband was the first one to wish me. Then came wishes from my parents, brother and a few closest friends. And right now my facebook page is flooded with birth day wishes. All wishes of course make the day really special.

Birthdays, till now, have been special in terms of gifts received and how I celebrated. But this birthday, being the first one in Bangalore, I am physically away from my near and dear ones. This is the reason, I will not be celebrating the day the way I do usually. But, may be this is the first birthday, in which I am seeing a new me, and can actually differentiate me from pre-14.06.2011. This birth day is exceptional.

Today, I take it as an opportunity to thank all, who have directly or indirectly helped me for being what I am today.

My dad...I actually have started understanding you...which I did not in all these years. I love you so much. I know you will never read this blog. But may be that is why I am able to write here that I am proud of you. :P
My mom...I know what you want to say, even when you are not able to set your words right. I know you are proud of me. :)
My brother...thank you for understanding me when no one else could...I am proud of you, for the person you are.
My son, your very existence kept me going...when nothing else worked!
Thank you Mridul, a friend still exists in you, beyond all other roles I play, you can see me as a human...
Thank you Pankaj Pandey, Rajib Chaudhary, Sanhita Nag, Payel, Sangeeta Das, Holly McCulloch, Someswar Chakravorty for being there for me…you will always remain close to my heart.
Thank you Ram Sankarda, Gurumurthi, for being friend and guide in my spiritual journey

Thank you Team Acteva, and Virtual Den members for giving me many fun-filled moments, when I needed them the most.

I thank all of those who are connected to me in the real world or virtual, and who have somehow touched my soul and inspired me. I thank you all! And I love you all....This birthday is special for me...because I never was in love with life. I wish to share the joy of living with you, which I do through my blog.

And at last, thank you my Lord Shiva...you showed me the truth, and its beauty. Be with me always!

Om Namah Shivay!

I am blessed

2012-06-07T00:13:00.002-07:00

I am lucky that it did not take more than two to three months to learn how to live in moments. Earlier, I only heard the phrase without actually knowing the real meaning. I came to know about it and practiced with honesty. Here I am, happy, peaceful and satisfied.

When I get up in the morning and when I go to sleep at night...I see a happy me in the mirror. I was never so thankful for everything in my life. I feel blessed...

But let me tell you that there is no reason I may give for my thankfulness, no achievement to record...no new love in life, no additional money or asset I have accumulated. Just that everything around me seems feels so good or not/less irritating. The anger within seems to have got replaced with joy and hope.

I am full of gratitude for everything I have in my life, for all the experiences, fortunate and unfortunate moments, moments of hope and pain, betrayal and gain, love and hate. All of those make me what I am today. I am hopeful, and I do believe that nothing is actually impossible for me.

If you read through my blog…go back to the initial days...you will know how I have changed for better...You might get an answer too.

Believe that everything you wish for is possible. It is you who is going to do it for you, no one else. There is no one else to blame for your hopelessness, since the day you were sent to this earth you were equipped with a powerhouse within you, which remained unexplored, unused. Ignite that powerhouse in you by taking charge of your life. Know yourself, accept situations as it is and then move on...to make changes pro-actively to get the desired results.

This world is a great and vast jigsaw puzzle, the parts of which are dynamic...changing shape with every action you make. Our fate is in our hands...so there is no one to blame. Start right now...by believing in YOU. YOU ARE BLESSED...never forget that. :)

I will come back with more realizations...till then

Keep the faith!

Fakir Lalon Sai

2012-05-12T08:55:00.001-07:00

ছেড়ে দে মা হাতের বাঁধন, যায় যেদিকে যায় দুই নয়ন।। পরের মা'কে ডাকবে লালন, তোর গৃহে আর থাকবে না...। আর আমারে মারিস নে মা...।। যেনা বোঝে ছেলের বেদন, সেই ছেলের মা'র বিথা জীবন। বিনয় করে বলছে লালন, কাঁদছে সে করে করুণা...

When we go back in the history to see how Lalon became Lalon Fakir, we will see that it was the moment of realization of the futility of our civilization which was only based on the rules and regulations set by different religions. When Lalon’s mother came to know that he was rescued and survived by a Muslim household, and he stayed with that Muslim family for many months till he recuperated and recalled his identity, she did not accept him back in her life. She even asked Lalon’s wife not to touch him and to forget him and live the rest of her life as a widow. This shock was followed by another life-changing shock when Lalon’s wife decided to abide by her mother-in-law’s command, in spite of the conjugal love they had in their relationship, the wife chose religion and the norms of society over him.

This is when Lalon decided to abandon the society and left for the jungle, and spent the rest of his life away from mainstream society…in search of his Moner Manush, the One. But people followed him and accepted him as their guru. That is another story, which I will share later on.

He was an illiterate, never had any formal/informal education in his lifetime. But he could describe the most profound knowledge from the Upanishads and the Vedas in such simplicity that anyone from any religion could easily comprehend his spiritual teachings and realizations.

অজান খবর না জানিলে কিসের ফকিরী... যে নূরে নূর নবী আমার তাহে আরশ বারী।। মূলাধারের মূল সেই নূর, নূরের ভেদ অকূল সমদ্দুর... যার হয়েছে প্রেমের অঙ্কুর ঝলকে দেবে তাঁরি।। সিরাজ সাঁই বলেরে লালন, আপন দেহে অন্বেষণ... নূরে নূরে ক'রে মিলন থেক রে হুঁসিয়ারী..

Imagine, here is describing the experience of Sachchidananda after the awakening of Kulakundalini in human being. Most of his teachings through his songs invite the seekers to look within, and search for the One, the God, or the Absolute. He opens the doors of spiritual enlightenment for the common and illiterate, and the people from the lowest strata of the society, for whom spiritualism was actually prohibited at that time.

I really really am in love with Lalon Sai’s songs. It has not been a long time since I got introduced to him. But technically, I known him as a person first and then got introduced with his songs. I read a novel written on his life that was published in Bengali magazine Desh. After knowing about his spiritual journey, and adoring the way he evolved and actually stood against the stupid norms of the society, with such simplicity and power! He fascinated me totally. Then I found out his songs, and scolded myself for never exploring such rich source of spiritualism…which was actually always there and popular among us, the Bengalis.

খেয়েছি বেজাতে কঁচু না বুঝে, এখন তেঁতুল কোথা পাই খুজে...।। কঁচু এমন মানগো সাঁই তারে কেউ চিনলি নারে ভাই, খেয়ে হলাম পাগল পারা। এখন যুগ্নিঘরা চুলকাইছে...।। খেয়েছি বেজাতে কঁচু না বুঝে..

I wish I could properly translate his songs in English and share those with people who do not speak bengali. But I dare not! May be I will look for some good translation work on his songs.

But Lalon Fakir is not a song writer only… he is a spiritual leader. I will tell you more on his life as and when I can. Just know that he is one of my favorites J

একটি প্রেমের কবিতা

2012-04-30T12:40:00.001-07:00

Ekti Premer Kobita, recited by Someswar Chakravorty

Parthapratim Ghosh is the poet.

Purnamidam: 'This is complete'

2012-04-27T10:03:00.000-07:00

पूर्णमदः पूर्णमिदम पूर्णात पूर्णमुदच्यते
पूर्णस्य पुर्नामदय पुर्नामेवा वाशिश्यते

purnamadah: 'That is complete.'
purnamidam: 'This is complete.'
purnamadah purnamidam 'That is complete, this is complete'.
purnat purna mudachyate - 'From that completeness comes this completeness'
purnasya purnamadaya - If we take away this completeness from that completeness'
purnameva vashishyate: 'Only completeness remains.'

purnamadah purnamidam, the beginning is the Supreme Reality.
Described in the Upanishad as the Supreme Brahman, Para Brahman, The Ultimate Truth.
"That Supreme Reality is Complete'. It is purna, It is always full, complete and self-existing,
Permanent, The Supreme Reality remains when everything else perishes.
That Supreme Reality which knows no darkness but only effulgence.
Free of impurities and imperfections. It is complete and full.

What then is Supreme Brahman?
Purnamidam: 'This is also Complete.'
'That Supreme Truth is complete' and 'This is complete'
The Supreme Truth is not outside of yourself "All this is Brahman. All is Truth."
But, The Truth is veiled. You remove the veil, and all differences disappear .
Then "This Brahman ' becomes no different from 'That Brahman.'

The spiritual aspect of "This and That" differentiation, is caused by the separation in the mind.
'That is Complete, This is Complete.' Purnameva vashishyate- even if we are separating,
'That remains complete and purna.' It is the ultimate, of absolute unity - That, that is One.

-Ishavasya Upanishad

ॐ नमः शिवाय

2012-04-27T09:03:00.001-07:00

Have you ever wondered what this mantra actually means?

What does OM mean? Om means completeness of the moment. Om means fullness. Namah means complete surrender. न-मह - nothing is mine. The understanding of 'nothing is mine' is the surrender which demolishes the Ego. Shiva is the most enlightened state of being...of ecstasy...of bliss.

This moment is complete and full. At this moment we are complete, we do not have anywhere to go. You and I accept ourselves as we are, accept our life as it is. Let us not compare ourselves with others. Let us not compare today with yesterday, or the next day. I am unique, this day is giving me a unique experience. I am complete so is the moment. This realization, this joy means Om... ॐ

When you say Namah, realize that nothing is really yours... the house, the cars, bank balance, wife, husband, children, boy friend, parents, even your body... because nothing is consistent or stationary in your life. You are only the caretaker, a trustee for the time being. Nothing will remain forever with your soul but the knowledge, the understanding, that you will earn in your life time. That realization is the Namah... नमः

Shivaya is the highest level of being... which complete awareness, complete understanding, total freedom from ignorance... well not that easy to explain Shiva :)

Happy chanting!

The rootless me

2012-04-21T08:04:00.000-07:00

A certain reflection on my inherent nature, have been bothering me at the back of my mind for quite some time now.

This is a fact that I do not have a sense of belonging to any place, any human being, any idealism, any caste, any race… when I deduced the conclusion a few months back, I found the answer to many of my perplexing reactions to many important and trifle events in my life. I have never grown any root, never actually settled down…

It is not that I never felt the necessity of settling down in one place, with own house, a regular job and things like that. These are the so-called basic requirements of a secured life, which I have learned from what I saw around me since the day I started to understand the world. But I did never learn to make a good bargain. Till date I have been very bad at the give and takes of life, so much so that I am considered a fool by the normal people around. It did pain me to realize that I was a fool. Yes, of course it did.

When I was supposed to settle down with whatever I had, and when I was to grow roots, I had to develop a sense of belonging, a strong bond of Maya that would keep me grounded in the society, yes I was doing so. I was developing all of that in me, to be considered being normal and do the expected. I was doing it all to be accepted by those whom I cared for and who counted on me.

The process of doing the expected, ignoring or not actually knowing what my own expectations are, is actually lethal. It suffocates. It kills you slowly when you have no clue.

It is good that I accepted myself. How it happened, is not clear to me till now. Not that it is important. But finally I have realized and accepted the inner me. I am rootless, and I do not belong to anybody, anywhere. Or it can be put like that I belong to every single soul, and the whole universe is mine.

Is it the Shiva in me? I wonder! Must be, isn’t it? :D

Think about it...

2012-04-20T23:08:00.004-07:00

A life without challenges is a life without opportunities. Be happy when you are about to face a challenge in your life. This challenge is your golden opportunity to move ahead to your goal. Think about it.

Ego

2012-04-20T04:19:00.001-07:00

Ego at times does not allow us to take something willingly and lovingly given. At times it is easy to give, but tough to receive, because of the Ego within us, we feel belittled somewhere. That is why, when one starts walking the path of God, he is supposed to live on alms. God does not like ego…as ego does not allow us to see the real Self.

‘I can’t! He doesn’t even believe I exist!’

2012-04-20T04:13:00.003-07:00

A widow from a poor village in Bengal did not have enough money to pay for her son’s bus fare, and so when the boy started going to school, he would have to walk through the forest all on his own.

In order to reassure him, she said: ‘Don’t be afraid of the forest, my son. Ask your God Krishna to go with you. He will hear your prayer.’

The boy followed his mother’s suggestion, and Krishna duly appeared and from then on accompanied him to school every day.

When it was his teacher’s birthday, the boy asked his mother for some money in order to buy him a present.

‘We haven’t any money, son. Ask your brother Krishna to get you a present.’
The following day, the boy explained his problem to Krishna, who gave him a jug of milk.
The boy proudly handed the milk to the teacher, but the other boys’ presents were far superior and the teacher didn’t even notice his.
‘Where did you get that jug?’
‘Krishna, the God of the forest, gave it to me.’
The teacher, the students and the assistant all burst out laughing.
‘There are no gods in the forest, that’s pure superstition,’ said the teacher. ‘If he exists, let’s all go and see him.’

The whole group set off. The boy started calling for Krishna, but he did not appear.
The boy made one last desperate appeal.
‘Brother Krishna, my teacher wants to see you. Please show yourself!’
At that moment, a voice emerged from the forest and echoed through the city and was heard by everyone.
‘I can’t! He doesn’t even believe I exist!’

There is a River in Me

2012-04-13T06:46:00.000-07:00

There is a river in me
flowing from the mountains
In search of its destiny,
the sea...

In the moments of weakness
at the rear of the arrogant peaks,
the hills mourned like ghosts
isolated and still.

Like an unseen tear
and a hopeless dream
in the heart of the mountain
I am born of pain.

The mountains’ inconceivable wish
to flow and to fly
is an instinct on which I survive
justifying the pride I inherit.

There rests the unquenchable thirst
Am I cursed or the blessed one?
The truth remains secret
yet somewhat pristine.

The quest of my being
keeps me restless and moving
the river in me wants the sea
In search of my destiny.

Think about it...

A life without challenges is a life without opportunities. Be happy when you are about to face a challenge in your life. This challenge is your golden opportunity to move ahead to your goal. Think about it.
