You want to save the planet?

George Carlin was an American stand up comedian. But in my eyes he was a tremendously spiritual being, who had an understanding of the universe and a unique way to express it. In this video titled “Saving The Planet”, George addresses our arrogance at even thinking we can save the planet and control nature. The planet knows how to look after itself, thank you, he says. At 6 minutes 30 seconds into the video you will be surprised at what he said so many years ago, appropriate for our current world situation. I hope you enjoy this short 8 minute journey and gain some insights from it. All your own.

Guided Meditation by Alan Watts

Trust most of you had a chance to listen to the entire video “The Art of Not Trying” yesterday. In the spirit of the same, here is a 15 minute guided meditation by Alan Watts (Awakening The Mind). I first meditated on my breath way back in school and it is a practice that has only grown over the years, leading to great joy and calmness. Put on a good headphone and take these 15 minutes and simply listen to Alan Watts, relaxing every part of your body and accepting everything around you. The true fruits of mediation come through a shirt DAILY practice. Have a great day!

Blame: A Self Kept Burden

The outside world is deceptive in its orientation. It makes you feel, that there is something happening ‘out there’ beyond and without your reach. This deception is caused when we break our unity consciousness with all things and look through the prism of duality. Thus things begin to appear separate, people look different, forces seem to work in favour or against, alignments and agendas crop up. At the root of separation lies the idea of “us and them” or “me and them”.

But unity consciousness is telling us that everything is happening in perfect harmony and the universe is throbbing in the perfect way each moment. Continue reading “Blame: A Self Kept Burden”

Embodiments of Wisdom! Who will take the Mantle?

A lot of the great spiritual masters of our time are reaching over 65 plus in age and have matured to provide the world with fabulous teachings and understandings – Ram Dass, Ram Butler, Krishna Das and many others whom I am not mentioning here. On these shoulders we stand. These teachers have been students as well, have gone through the fire of doing their sadhana, applied the teachings they have learnt over a lifetime to their everyday lives, taken the commitment of their relationship to great masters to transform themselves and the world around them, and have become embodiments of wisdom to the world.

As this decade moves ahead, who will come forward to take on this mantel and make sure today’s world, today’s youth see the same grand vision they saw inside. How will this amazing process move on? How will the teachings be passed on over the next decade, so that the world we live in still retain these lights (new lights) whose presence, fire, devotion and understanding have woken up many. How will the universe ensure there are individuals who will chose the path of silence, understanding, knowledge, beauty and wisdom, and channel those to others in the world through a state of non-doership?
