Being Right

Being right. How important is it? As a child, you only listen to your heart. There is no consideration of right and wrong. The two of you love each other and you wanna kiss each other, u go ahead and do it. Are there any regrets about your first kiss? They are in your memories forever! You held somebody’s hand. Are there any regrets? No! You don’t have any regrets in your heart about whatever you have done. But society has created its own rules. You don’t know how to answer that society. They may start blaming you. They may say you are characterless. They may say you are the one who was after it. It was only your mistake. And then, your life is full of consideration for what others think. It is full of fear. You stop living your own life. You start finding happiness when people are happy with you. Isn’t it all fake? When we do something which brings joy, without hurting anyone else, should it all not be good? The person may however propagate it. You do put your respect at stake. It is all so risky. Love is so risky. It can betray you anytime. But isn’t it the only trustworthy thing in this world? We are human beings. To err is human. And we are not even sure what erring is! We are bound by the rules of the society. It is natural and acceptable to do what comes naturally. Trying to control our nature may lead to further complications. Isnt it all about being natural, being open? Is freedom not about being able to think, speak and act freely. And when that freedom starts being a part of us, we start blooming, we start being one with the nature. It needs courage. Being free doesn’t even mean to go to the other extreme. It just means that you be as you are.

Distance

You can be close only when there is a distance. To see the beauty in a flower, it has to be seen from a distance. If you come too close, u wont be able to see anything. It will be dark. You wont see any beauty. You may even damage the flower. One needs space and distance to see the truth. I am myself. I need my own soil, air, space, sunlight to grow. If you give me too much of these, I may not sustain. If it is too less, even then its a problem. I just need my optimum space to grow and as I grow I start sharing my fragrance and my beauty and start finding happiness in that. And when you gain pleasure from that beauty and admire the fragrance, we come close. You become a part of my being!

Art

We strive for perfection and anything even nearing perfection gives us immense happiness. That complete, perfect state is our true nature. Art is a beautiful way to express that perfection or that desire for perfection which may not be easily attainable in the outside world or material world. It has a soothing element which not only brings immense peace and joy to the one performing but also to the audience/viewers. The purity that we strive to achieve is attainable through art. It is something directly related to Heart and God.

Art is where the HeART is! :)

Connected

Aren’t we all connected?
Do we all not form a single universal whole?

A dab of paint on a sheet of paper
Giving you deep insights about yourself
Or a game of tetris on computer
Relaying profound messages of life

Or the concrete ideas you get
out of the abstract screaming of children on the street
And the beauty that can be seen
In the shadows formed by the morning sunrays

The joy of seeing the innocence of a small child
The inspiration one receives on seeing an artist perform
The joy that a beautiful melody brings
Or the complete expression of the bliss in your heart

The oneness felt
when you think of an old friend and he connects with u
or you hum a song and it gets broadcasted on the radio


Isn’t it the Joy of Being
Of being yourself
Of being a part of the one complete whole
Of being a part of the flow and relishing it
And realizing this oneness with the whole universe?

Any effort to realize yourself
to your fullest capacity
Is a spiritual act of art
that brings enormous joy and satisfaction

Strive hard to realize yourself.
Be positive and impact others positively.
