sat-9am-mumbai
yesterday i had couple of business meetings-one with lunch where you are served so many items that even if you taste a little bit of everything you will be fully stuffed without repeating any item.Here in india hosts are quite aggressive to offer and feed you with many varities of food due to respect and affection for guests.

mumbai-10am.
landed in mumbai-india from usa-day before yesterday at night time in india with 85-90 degrees from 30's in usa-a real sweat for me,but worth the trip when you are recd.by cousins at air port and expected to meet old friends after long time ,while my stay in india for about 4-weaks.
I am fortunate to have the best of both the worlds(east and west) ,and enjoy all the differences prevailing in both countries which appears to be quite contrasting when looked on the surface but deep within all the human being it is all the same physical-mental and spiritual conditions ,more or less-which can always be enhanced further and further to enjoy this drama of life and death -sorrow and joy-ups and down-hot and cold etc...without getting affected by it while passing through the different stages of life keeping the inner in touch and witnessing the entire process -the way we witness show or the game played before us.*****
I was seen off at airport in usa by wife,son and daughter-all my beloveds- who will be physically apart by about 10,000 miles from me for a month while closer to other beloveds like extended families of relatives and friends in india -some way of life's journey!!!
It took me about 36 hours to adjust my self to this day and night difference+from cold to hot wether+different house to stay etc....but now back to normal and started writing this blog to bring my inside in to the outer world for like minded friends and families who are equally eager to explore the truth of life like me.
on this land of my first blissful experience of inner serenity i am hoping to share and spread that happiness and fulfillment to all the people whom i will meet during my stay here in india and may find few really sincere out of them to join me in this journey to spread the joy and beauty of life with dance - play-peace and song *****
amen and good luck to my self.

8am-edison
yesterday i stayed at home the whole day(which is not unusual for me ) and with little movement of body + previous days heavy food eaten at our resort caused little stomach up set(which is also not unusual for me) and i am sure that many of us suffer due to eating unhealthy food,specially at the parties and staying up late ,depriving of right sleep and yet we keep doing it,until you are full with in and do not need any outer excitement (to fill up that void) which is always temporary and results in suffering -physically-mentally and financially and to cover that loss we work so much that lot of time is consumed of our life and again that party ... so that vicious circle and 'that is name of the game for most the people'.
True relationship-friendship-love are the tools to break that vicious circle and enjoy the life peacefully without interruption or any co-lateral damage.
When i started writing this blog,i had decided not mention any one until i complete 15 days of writings without break and i did it with pleasure ,so on 17 th. day i told my family about it and couple of other people-preparing my self for any kind of comments,i may get.
first suggestion ,i received from my son to write about 'expectations' of all kinds from family,friends-romance etc...and its my pleasure to explore and understand it deeply on all levels starting from surface to the bottom of it.
expectations on the surface are like what happens in daily life for eg.we go to buy some food or some kind of service in exchange for the money paid for it and expect the right thing in return -be it food-service or something else which generally we get as per our expectation but some time it is beyond our expectation which could be good or bed and that either delights us or anger us ,unless we keep patience and try to know the reason behind it ,specially when we are angry.
now expectations which are deeper and long lasting like in friendship -family-or romantic-
all of above expectations are the product of time as we expect the others to meet our expectations at time to time in coming future and that time(psychological) is the product of our mind which is nothing but an accumulation of past memories(good or bed) while in real life every thing is always new and different which has nothing to do with the past-be it a relation-friendship or romance ,so those expectations which are based on some assumptions of the past will never get fulfilled as per the expectation and so will be created misery and bed taste in all type of relationships which cuts that very important cord connected to all the beloveds- friends-family-lover etc...
also when you have any expectation from any one -you have known them over a period means past and flow of life changes everyone more or less as per their receptivity of life which you may not be able to recognise unless you are extremely sensitive to those relations and change with the time which is not easy as you are so involved in your own life to observe those changes in others while holding on to old expectations which will create conflict in you and so the doubt which is not happy situation for any one .*****
every expectation has to be born and reborn again and again until you see its fatality and go beyond it(cease) - when all your expectations could start getting fulfilled as you are in harmony equally with birth and death of those expectations.*****
expect(exchange) in present only without the shadow of past or future on it to have a better chance of getting it fulfilled.
above all expect the unexpected and accept that unexpected with the whole heart as you would accept the expected.

edison-11am-mon.
yesterday we had some 60 young fellows from an organisation called 'young jains association' who comes every year around the same time of the year conducting jain seminar and snow tubing +ice skating for fun-taking advantage of the cold and snow of the season-a good example of making use of adverse and harsh weather (which no one likes it) to have more fun ,get together with buddies ,spending a quality time with each other-laughing-joking-playing-dancing etc.. and for any reason some one gets in trouble physically or other wise -every one would rush to help the buddy-what a beauty world they create for those couple of days when they are together and being around them you also feel that vibrant energy oozing out of them and that makes you smile.
Friendship -what a beautiful thing that happens to us in our life,without which life is lifeless -is it not?-but as we grow older we start loosing that very important ingredient of life in midst of making money and trying to pursue our personal pleasures ,forgetting the the source of happiness flowing from friends and many valuable quality arise in us due to that relationship ,without which an emptiness is created with in us and we try to fill it up with money-success-and other things in outer world which is of no avail and we become lonely and lifeless with all the illusary tools that seemed to give happiness of life*****

Two adventurers John and Jack were hunting for gold in the desert. After roaming all day long under the hot sun, they set up their tent and fell asleep. Some hours later, John woke up his friend.
"Jack, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
Jack looked up and replied, "I can see millions of stars."
"What does that tell you?" asked John.
Jack thought for a minute and said.
"Astronomically speaking, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Time wise, it appears to be approximately a quarter past three. Theologically, it's evident the Lord is all powerful and we are small and insignificant. Meteorologically, it seems we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. What does it tell you?"
After a moment of silence, John spoke.
"It tells two things to me. First is that...you are an idiot."
Jack looked at John, surprised. "Why do you say so?" he said.
"Because it has still not occurred to you that someone has stolen our tent." replied John.
* * * * *
see how easily we overlook important thing which is so near to our eyes and wandering in the field of accumulated mental knowledge while missing out on reality which can be bluntly told on your face by a friend only.
so have a friend always to see the things the way they are in 'reality' in case you are moon struk by something and about to loose your self *****

9am-mount pocono
yesterday we came to mount pocono where we have our own resort -really beautiful place ,just two hours from my house in New jersey spread - over 103 acres of land with 70 nicely decorated rooms and suits with fire place and jacuzzi which made me fall in love-like love at first site for this place and i ended up buying with the idea of celebrating the life with many more people than just my family and try to search for the truth-god-universal energy (i call many times).
many times in real world things do not happen as we think and i am no different in that category,so i have my portion of financial suffering due to this 'mega project' i under took without enough help from any body except my family ,but at the same token there is some unknown factor which has enable me to stick to this project for five years completed now and hopefully more to come ending this little outer suffering which does not affect me as much as it does to my family-but their suffering is also mine and i am the cause for the same so i am working constantly to solve this puzzle (like playing the game )with best of my ability with 'ease' as of this moment while writing this blog without losing connection to my inner -and all kind of joy and beauty of life i have .
so do not worry if you have financial problem ,take it as a game we used to play in school and hum that song 'don't worry, be happy 'if you have not paid the rent 'etc...
read and enjoy the song...
Don't Worry, Be Happy
From the Movie "Cocktails"
Performed by Bobby McFerrin
Here is a little song I wrote
You might want to sing it note for note
Don't worry be happy
In every life we have some trouble
When you worry you make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Ain't got no place to lay your head
Somebody came and took your bed
Don't worry, be happy
The land lord say your rent is late
He may have to litigate
Don't worry, be happy
Lood at me I am happy
Don't worry, be happy
Here I give you my phone number
When you worry call me
I make you happy
Don't worry, be happy
Ain't got no cash, ain't got no style
Ain't got not girl to make you smile
But don't worry be happy
Cause when you worry
Your face will frown
And that will bring everybody down
So don't worry, be happy (now).....
There is this little song I wrote
I hope you learn it note for note
Like good little children
Don't worry, be happy
Listen to what I say
In your life expect some trouble
But when you worry
You make it double
Don't worry, be happy......
Don't worry don't do it, be happy
Put a smile on your face
Don't bring everybody down like this
Don't worry, it will soon past
Whatever it is
Don't worry, be happy
*****
live awakened with joy.
see you tomorrow.

yesterday it was beautiful spring like weather in 70's,which is delightting in the month of february where it is in 30's,usually.
i watched a tv show 'maa(mother) exchange' for few minutes,where a mom from one house goes to live in another house and another house's mom comes to live in her house ,and this experiment is to be conducted for only eight days and it is a reality show ,so most of it from the rel life and real people. to my surprise and little shock i saw people ,participating in it were arguing ,almost like fighting and crying ,(to vent out the emotion which they can not hold inside due to bedly hurt feelings) even though they know it very well that it is only for 8-days *****may be they forget or with the conditioning of mind ,gets in to those fighting mode immediately and start suffering instead of enjoying new house,new atmoshphere, new people!! no wonder Buddha calls life a misery.,for most people.
most of the people will agree that if some event is for eight days only than they would not fight but behave nice to each other like we all do during festivals like christmas or new year etc.. but beyond that -'forget it'-right?
why? for a couple of reasons..
1-from childhood we are taught to be competiteve to win all kind of races ,meaning 'fighting' with others to win and get an award which gives some temporary pleasure and recognition by society and our shallow mind records the trick to get pleasure and there goes that shallow mind to gain everything in the world through fighting without realising the pain and depression others(loosers) go through in that process *****so,fighting mind is built from the childhood and it subsides temporarily when exhausted but falls back in to same old pattern of fighting as soon as charged by that universal energy of life which is so generous and impartial that it never interupts its supply to any one in the universe for any reason what so ever.*****
2-we are also trained to live in the 'future 'like becoming something (doctor/engineer etc..) at the cost of the 'present' which is the very essence of life and missing out on that 'present' by focusing on the future creats an emptyness in life and mind tries to fill that void by snatching some of the happiness from others and the fight begins..
.
so be prepared when you try to win the competetion through fighting to loose the essence of life and love which can never exist where there is a fight.
is the choice clear?

feb.18.2011-fri.8.30 am-edison.
as decided yesterday,i have started writing in the morning instead of night,thus a better chance of not breaking on any day. while writing this i am also thinking that i am lucky or smart enough to choose about my timings to do what ever i want to do at the time time i want to do ,compare to most of the people who have no liberty to choose their timings to do their work ,specially during the day time where they are tied up for work or business, as i mentioned before of tacking also a knapp break at mid day for my self,you might be thinking that i am a retired guy but that's not true completely as i still own the properties so it's management,development ,negotiations and all sorts of work is my ultimate responsibility where my wife and son helps me a lot and other helpers too.,but as we all know 'when there is a will ,there is a way' , and i am a perfect fit for that.
life is all about freedom-isn't it? ,be it physical,mental ,financial or spiritual freedom-without which life is bound to be miserable and fortunately many people have achieved at least some of the above mentioned freedom if not all of them but that is mediocrity***** and human life is to excel for the achievement of the highest form of freedom and not a mediocre success which any animal achieves during their life time,so there is no difference between human and animals-correct?
now ,even if we can remember everyday and gradually every moment this human capacity to be free of all the boundaries which creates so much pain and grief in the life,we will be free in real sense of freedom -,to enjoy the beauty of life , because rememberance never sits quite ***** it's a matter of time and it will explode in action ,which will bring all the transformation needed to break those shacles of chains for you to fly high in the sky of freedom and joy.
is it so hard to remember freedom ?
let us try it at least for the whole day today!!
love to all-another thing to remember

got up earlier today due to an appointment for medical test and while finishing morning routine i thought it would be more comforting to write in the morning and keep the promise given to my self about writing this blog every day -instead of writing at night which i am doing since last 3-4 days,so that for any reason if i could not write in the morning ,i have the whole day to finish writing-while at night if i can not write -i will break that promise, so i will start tomorrow and try to continue that way...
now about today
in the morning test i was prepared and helped by a medical assistant 'sherry'-real gentle lady by heart doing her job with pleasure and going out of her way to help little extra than expected by patience -personally i remember before couple of years i went for test and after the 1st. test was over ,she asked me how am i filling ? (the way she asks all her patience ),i just told her that due to overnight fast i am thirsty and hungry and to my surprise she got me some muffins and some thing to drink which was quite unusual because it was just doctor's office ,where food or drinks are bought by individuals for their personal use only,which she gave me and i will never forget that gesture,so i am mentioning it today even after 2 or most likely three years later and that is the nobility of a profession or for any type of work you do as long as you fill the pain and pleasure of your surrounding fellow specially he/she is total stranger and you may never see them again and action like this without any expectations are what makes life so beautiful and enjoyable for every one.*****
in the afternoon i met my lawyer for some business -a complete different world where the base is built on doubts and suspicion for the other party with whom you are getting in to some kind of contract which is generally called 'agreement' but all the clauses and conditions are based on what if both parties 'disagree' later on?*****bigger the lawyer ,bigger the complications are made in the name of protecting the client at a 'price' that client ultimately leaves with 'nothing' to protect,(in case of dispute) while lawyer makes his personal protection wealthier. ya at least some one is protected- if not poor than rich-after all they are our human brothers.
as the world has progressed so much technically ,it has regressed so much in humanity-trust-relationship!!which are the bases of life and laws are discovered to enhance those qualities but evils get their hands first on new discovery than angels.
little disappointing but that is not the end-as end has to be happy and it 'will' always be *****
so,be happy and embrace the ever welcoming smooth bed with comforting comforter to be rejuvinated for tomorrow.

in the morning test i was prepared and helped by a medical assistant 'sherry'-real gentle lady by heart doing her job with pleasure and going out of her way to help little extra than expected by patience -personally i remember before couple of years i went for test and after the 1st. test was over ,she asked me how am i filling ? (the way she asks all her patience ),i just told her that due to overnight fast i am thirsty and hungry and to my surprise she got me some muffins and some thing to drink which was quite unusual because it was just doctor's office ,where food or drinks are bought by individuals for their personal use only,which she gave me and i will never forget that gesture,so i am mentioning it today even after 2 or most likely three years later and that is the nobility of a profession or for any type of work you do as long as you fill the pain and pleasure of your surrounding fellow specially he/she is total stranger and you may never see them again and action like this without any expectations are what makes life so beautiful and enjoyable for every one.*****
in the afternoon i met my lawyer for some business -a complete different world where the base is built on doubts and suspicion for the other party with whom you are getting in to some kind of contract which is generally called 'agreement' but all the clauses and conditions are based on what if both parties 'disagree' later on?*****bigger the lawyer ,bigger the complications are made in the name of protecting the client at a 'price' that client ultimately leaves with 'nothing' to protect,(in case of dispute) while lawyer makes his personal protection wealthier. ya at least some one is protected- if not poor than rich-after all they are our human brothers.
as the world has progressed so much technically ,it has regressed so much in humanity-trust-relationship!!which are the bases of life and laws are discovered to enhance those qualities but evils get their hands first on new discovery than angels.
little disappointing but that is not the end-as end has to be happy and it 'will' always be *****
so,be happy and embrace the ever welcoming smooth bed with comforting comforter to be rejuvinated for tomorrow.

in the morning i under estimated cold and wind and went out without proper clothing and shivered enough to cut short the work and rush back to car for heat,some experience !!and a lesson not to be deceived by bright sun in the winter particularly when its windy.
in our real life also many times what our eyes see or ears hear is not always complete true unless we are really attentive and can go beyond seeing or hearing to grasp the real truth expressed through them.***** except some few unfortunate people, almost every one knows and must have experienced at least once in their life time,when the flow of love oozes from the eyes of some one for you without any utterance of words and also its possible when at a distance you will fill that same flow of love through words hear ed by ears without seeing your beloved*****what a moment is that!!you would bet your life on it,is not it ?because that is the source of life and also a reason ,otherwise everything else is just killing the time..this reminds me of a joke-little adult in nature..
Audrey and Marilyn, two retired schoolteachers from Chicago, save up all their money to go on safari in Africa.
They are having a wonderful time going through the jungle, when suddenly a huge gorilla swings down out of the trees, sweeps Marilyn into his arms, and disappears.
He takes her back to his cave, and for a week makes love to her all day and night.
Finally, Audrey organizes a rescue party, and Marilyn is saved and rushed to the hospital.
She is treated there for a couple of days and then her friend comes for a visit.
"Oh, Marilyn!" the friend sobs, "what a ghastly experience! How do you feel?"
"How should I feel?" sobs Marilyn, "he never writes, he never calls...!"
life and love are so strange and that is why it is so lovable,is not it ?
since opening the eyes and ears in the morning,the whole day we see and hear many unnecessary and few necessary things in outer world-now at night let us close our eyes and ears to that outer world and start enjoying that peaceful Serene inner world by opening the same eyes and ears to that inner before we go to sleep.
peace and joy to all

today i saw a demonstration of 'sticky' a new kind of lint remover which worked very well and they claim it to be like that for the life time without changing or refilling any thing on it!!!really good invention if it truly performs the same as it did for the first time for the rest of the life-what is the definition of life ? only promoter/manufacture knows!!because that is what they claim and write on box!
this is the one incident out of ordinary in my daily life routine and the second one confronting a young fellow in his mid 20's,full of confusion and depressed for not making as much money as he thought he should be making-comparing him self with others of his age who are making more than him.and burdened with all scary thoughts of getting aged and yet did not accomplished any thing of substance and blaming his past or some one else for not taking right decision to choose the right course of study which could have helped him make more money that he feels very necessary now and not before , when money was not as important as it is now but his passion for art that he liked was important and now getting in real world , he realised that art he learned does not get him the kind of money he desires and the result is frustration-anger-depression *****
is it not the story of many who tries something different compare to most who choose carrier keeping money in mind as a major achievement after college study and not creative fulfillment in life ? yes after graduation money minded will look hero in the beginning but realises very soon the emptiness of life without creativity in what they have been doing***** while the person who chose art against money for life should be more fulfilling and enjoying the work like worship provided he is grounded enough in his understanding of life and does not get affected by so called society which measures every one by the amount of money they make even that money neither gives them lasting joy of life nor the creative fulfilling*****
so artistic approach needs lot of conviction and energy which will generate enough strength and courage to over come moments of weakness which is bound to be there in the beginning to taste your real passion for art and life***** most of the time it has happened that once real artist passes through those weaker moments without giving it up-they succeed in the art it self and also make plenty of money as a by product of that success*****and the fulfilled journey of life begins.....
thanks and good night with creative dreams.

weather seems to be improving,it was 45 and sunny today from 20's and clouds previous days.
love-i have heard and so you should have too that it is the most misunderstood word in the world and it is right up to a point which we all realise to be so*****why is it so hard to understand? because majority of the time understanding is done through mind ,like learning some thing new through mind -but love is much bigger-vast and deeper than the reach of mind which can learn everything by breaking the whole in to beats and pieces***** and do not know any other way to understand because to understand and control, you have to be bigger than that object which is possible only if you break it in to smaller pieces!! while to understand love -it is quite opposite -you have to break 'your self' in to pieces and surrender your self so that you can taste the nectar of love rather than controlling it and as a result of this contrary way ,it is very hard to understand -also it is the most difficult task on earth to break your self in to nothing from some thing*****because mind can never perceive of nothingness-as nothingness and mind can not exist together ,the way light and dark can never exist together.so ,naturally it will be the most misunderstood word as it is to be felt whole hearted to know its meaning rather than trying to understand its meaning through mind like all other outer objects in the world*****
it is a great art to reduce your self to nothing from some thing and it is embodied in all of us by birth but only wise people have used that art of cleaning all the dust that is collected on our true self by ego-desire- greed-fear etc...
tools to that art are awareness-meditation-love-selflessness-relationship etc...
again too fast ? any way-there is always tomorrow.
love to all and good night.

we have a valentines day party today,tasty food-tasty dressed people with red color code and dancing but very loud music .
festivals and celebrations are great events planned by humans to rejuvenate the life ,experience and express brighter and better side of humanity,friendship,relationship,affection etc..and helping economy with all that spending done for celebrations.
my favorite festival was diwali (indian christmas) followed by new year because of all the goodies you get on those days from parents and elders, plus the entire atmosphere that's created due to that festivity. i have used the word' was' ,intentionally as now for me everyday is festival to celebrate and enjoy the life without waiting for those special days to come and one of the main reason for the this state of my mind to be joyful ,loving and at peace is one unique experience that i had in 1978 -feb -14 around 5pm.in the evening, in my apartment in india while meditating alone just by my self ,when suddenly whole of my inside lighted up and the black darkness,which has been always there before -, totally disappeared as if a switch is turned on in side me to remove that black darkness and what A wonderful and relieving feeling it was !!! no words to describe., and since then that journey to Ecstasy is continued as of this moment *****of course that is not the only reason for my present state of mind but i think it was a jump start to my journey towards blissful life that i have now. ( with some bumpy ride on outer material world ) the other factors are a constant eagerness to learn about life and its strange and mysterious ways of expressing gratitude, love , compassion and all the beauty if you are wise in real sense and punishment if you fumble from that awareness or disconnect your self to the inner that i have mentioned before .
As a side note: i never knew anything about this valentines day until after i migrated to usa in 1986.,and i am always delighted to think that my above experience is coincidence with such a great festival and celebration and that is also a reason to name heart temple or hriday ashram for this writings -also for me love is the most important feeling of life be it physical,-mental,-emotional-or spiritual.
have a very happy valentines day which would bring love and happiness all around the year to everyone.

yesterday show the movie called 'no one killed jessica' based on true story happened in delhi- the capitol of india -one brave journalist unmasks the guilty who were let go unpunished because of the power and money they had and she helps the judicial system to send them behind the bar. most of the people involved in helping to hide the crime were either scared or greedy.
why people get scared?***** 'ignorance' is the one word answer to that,for example every one gets scared when its dark and if they have to go through it because they do not know what will they encounter while going through it which could put them in trouble and thinking of all kinds of trouble one gets frightened with imaginary pain-now through the same darkness if they have to go which they have been before they will not be that scared as they have the knowledge of that darkness, which is limited to that particular situation,so with the new situation ,which arises everyday in rel life-that fear creeps in again -but there exists a completely different kind of radical knowledge which is not a memory in mind of some past acquaintance but the very essence of ones being which records and De records all the outer activities in to a mind for day to day life and for practical purpose like recognising the objects and humans etc..and this radical knowledge i am talking about knows no fear what so ever -be it darkness on your path to anywhere or any size of trouble that is there.***** now this radical knowledge can be experienced only***** neither can be given nor taught nor can be gained by mind and its analyses because the mind is an accumulation of very tiny fraction of the past ashes which was created through the fire of that radical knowledge ,so it is beyond the reach of the mind.*****this may sound very perplexing to many of you and might generate lot of questions about the same -which i will explain in more detail or in different way for you to get some glimpse of that radical knowledge ,when ever you are ready to explore it more.
amen and love to ALL

TGIF*****so let us celebrate,starting with a joke
# A Catholic is standing on a mountain and looks down into the beauty of the valley. Suddenly he slips and falls down the cliff and is barely able to hold on to the branch of a tree that is growing there. Below him is an abyss of a thousand feet. He doesn’t know what to do, so he prays, ‘Please, Lord, help me. Save me from death.’ And a voice comes out of the sky and says, ‘Have faith, let go! And the man looks up and calls out, ‘Is there anybody else up there?”
see how easily faith disappear when it comes to personal level,so please do not deceive your self with blind faith and try to cover your self with ignorance that you have about the facts of life-instead wake up and enquire deeply with your whole being in to this existing life and find answers to your questions by your self only *****which seems difficult in the beginning like any new venture but once you know the facts and start looking life as "is",you will smile at the people who talks about faith in god and feel sorry for them and you can not stop your self but to educate them for that great path of self realisation by the ones own self only and no one else!!!!!weather those ignorant people want to understand or not ,it is entire up to them-you will be doing for the fun of it and out of compassion to spread that wisdom on earth of which you are also part*****i know it does help a lot if you can get the RIGHT direction from the beginning until end to achieve that extra ordinary simple and innocent state of mind which can see the things ,the way they are and not illusory images by conditioned mind- but refrain from worshiping that director who directed you to the right path-other wise you will be stuck in worshiping(which does not have any significance for the REAL director what so ever) and miss out on your journey to the ultimate freedom*****
start celebrating weekend and share the love and joy of life.
see you tomorrow to celebrate more.

its freezing cold out side and complete dark-just finished little dose of tv entertainment , which has become part of life ,almost every where in the world,specially in the evening hours and many people go to sleep just after switching off tv, naturally caring those images and thought provoking process ,which dose not show the effect immediately because you are tired from the whole days work and dose off,but as soon as you get up in the morning and go to bathroom it does surface in mind depending on that days schedule ,thus starts the energy drain right at the start of the day and with the caffeine kick, mind runs for routine which is unable to greet the life at its full and that creates mediocrity in the end*****i am not against tv,its a great gift to human kind but excessive use of it is definitely damaging to the same humans ***** have we ever thought why are we so addicted to tv?***** first of all it has become a habit to turn on tv as soon as you have time,but there is a reason behind that habit and that is when you watch tv first time in your life, it stopped the UN control able thinking process that goes in mind ceaselessly ,which gave a great relief to mind and mind found the trick to stop boring (aimless) thought process***** which gradually becomes less and less effective after using the same trick everyday , like any pleasure gained from outer source but mind still tries the same thing for two main reasons 1-it has nothing better to do 2-in hopes that it may get the same relief and pleasure like first time, in which mind do get on and off excitement depending on the programme , and so that rough journey keeps going on until one finds some thing more real and better,there is also a third reason to get some real information like news or weather or some educational stuff which is perfectly fine and really needed***** but coming back to first two reasons, i tell my family that let us try and create a tv show rather than watching it*****thus we become creative and express our best for which we have arrived on this earth ***** that is the answer for the first reason to do some thing better and for the 2nd. reason of hoping to get something trying same thing over and over is futile ,sooner or later,is it not?
so, let us be creative and enjoy the life.

yesterday evening while reading my blog, i felt that i am going little faster than what it should be for readers to understand and digest it.**** so apology for that,at the same time i extend the warm welcome to every one who needs more explanation or clarification about what is written here on this blog.*****
sorry for interruption*****got busy whole day,starting to write again at night 9.30pm.
since last 3-4 days i was little uncomfortable -physically ,so went through check up and tests etc...its amazing how many new inventions for all medical problems and wonderful new gadgets to detect any defects that is way inside the body .***** looking at my physical condition with that gadget on me ,my daughter felt terrible ,but its not at all that bad as she thinks because i have taken it lightly and also curious my self that how does it work ? and its effect on human body,so for me its a new experience,even though little uncomfortable physically but very curious mentally to find out the results ,like a scientists or child like.*****and if we can have same curiosity and eagerness to know new,new things without any prejudice -life is full of surprises,every time, and do not we all love surprises?*****generally when we here the name doctor or hospital ,we think about pain and misery but if you observe attentively, its not bad always-first of all you will be greeted by usually smiling face(to make new friend),than asked about the problem,which becomes much lesser ,the moment some one is there to listen to you and then comes Big Boss(another friend to make) who makes you realise that what problem you have is very minor and he cures it everyday for the people like you and you feel relieved ,come out little more knowledgeable about your body and its mysterious function ,in this entire process the hardest part is waiting. which can be over come by " in joying" your self while waiting as e.tolle says .*****so ,all in all we should not have that big of how for physical pain,is it not?
enough on physical body today.
have a wonderful night,sound sleep and beauty full dreams in early morning,which will become true.
love to all the bodies(beauty full)

since last 3-4 days i was little uncomfortable -physically ,so went through check up and tests etc...its amazing how many new inventions for all medical problems and wonderful new gadgets to detect any defects that is way inside the body .***** looking at my physical condition with that gadget on me ,my daughter felt terrible ,but its not at all that bad as she thinks because i have taken it lightly and also curious my self that how does it work ? and its effect on human body,so for me its a new experience,even though little uncomfortable physically but very curious mentally to find out the results ,like a scientists or child like.*****and if we can have same curiosity and eagerness to know new,new things without any prejudice -life is full of surprises,every time, and do not we all love surprises?*****generally when we here the name doctor or hospital ,we think about pain and misery but if you observe attentively, its not bad always-first of all you will be greeted by usually smiling face(to make new friend),than asked about the problem,which becomes much lesser ,the moment some one is there to listen to you and then comes Big Boss(another friend to make) who makes you realise that what problem you have is very minor and he cures it everyday for the people like you and you feel relieved ,come out little more knowledgeable about your body and its mysterious function ,in this entire process the hardest part is waiting. which can be over come by " in joying" your self while waiting as e.tolle says .*****so ,all in all we should not have that big of how for physical pain,is it not?
enough on physical body today.
have a wonderful night,sound sleep and beauty full dreams in early morning,which will become true.
love to all the bodies(beauty full)

*****from today onward i have started using this estrics to indicate longer pause than usual,so please meditate on it ,before going forawered.

yesterday during evening meal ,got a business phone call and because it was unexpected i lost connection with inner for few minutes and did suffer through anxiety for those few minutes but it got corrected in about an hour .
it is so easy to fall back in to an old habit of getting absorbed in outer activities without keeping connection with inner and than you start suffering for no major reason for it., but with full awareness and understanding it is also equally easy to gain back that peaceful state of mind. some of you might think how is it so simple?i can give you an example that some time you see a fight or an arguments between two people and you are just watching them without any prejudice for any of them,you become witness to the entire process of argument without getting on any side or being absorbed in that process and you will find how absurd and unnecessary that fight was and the effect of that fight on both fighters, who are drained of all energy and become miserable after that, while you, a witness is fully composed, at peace and full of energy. that exact same thing happens if you can be a witness to your pro and con thoughts while they are arguing., and you would burst with laugh knowing the stupidity of the whole thing.
so, choice less awareness is the key , now please do not ask how to achieve that because that is the conditioning of mind , which tries to learn the trick , so that it can master it and use every time. and that is where we miss out the basics of moving above the thoughts because to learn a trick is also a thought who tries to accomplish some thing in future while all the beauty,energy, peace lies in the present and only in present.

its bright and sunny out side with light clouds moving in the sky to where?yesterday watched the super bowl,and noticed the coach and some players looking up to the sky in between or at the start of the game-praying ?/looking for blessing?, they know better. On usa currency and many govt. places i have noticed "in god we trust",i dont know how they define god but i believe they are very generous to let every one believe in whatever kind or form they feel the existence of god is , but most of the people always point up towards the sky ,believing he/she/none is there ,the word none is used deliberately for the people who do not believe in any type of form of god but understand that there is an universal cosmic energy which is present everywhere-eternally,which has never started and will never end, for that matter i belong to the last category-just for information about me.Talking about that energy or space i refer some time as the same thing has tremendous power/beauty in it,for example when we listen to a music ,it is so enjoyable not because of only the sound created in it by instrument or vocal ,but it is because of the combination of gaps/space left between two sounds,and greater the musician-has greater skill of blending sound and space/god to create great music which delights our hearts on listening to them because it gives the glimpse of that pure energy/space embodied in the song.
Same thing you will find in many different creations-be it preparation of delicious food,great paintings,writing s,dancing etc.. this might confuse some people and want to understand in detail or need more clarification,all of them are most welcome to approach me using any convenient method for communication,of course personal meeting has no parallels.

its sunny and clear sky today,feeling good,talked to my kids and came to know its super bowl today,what a game!,so evening is planned,i will definitely watch it meditatively and enjoy impartially. Generally while my eyes closed either i am sleeping or meditating,be it day or night,by the way on a side note i have arrange my life such away that usually i sleep/meditate between 4to 7pm during the day and because of that my new day start again at 7pm like 7am,equally fresh and goes up to 11.30to12am, is it not cool? ,try it if you can afford it, works out good for me.,most of the days after an hour of sleep meditation begins which progresses into samadhi ,a real bliss full state of mind above the thought ,but unfortunately because of the limitation and need of physical body tummy starts calling for evening meal which some times i ignore because of not to let go that delight of nectar oozing out of samadhi,which is really a timeless experience.,and once i come out of this experience and go down to living room where my wife and mom watching soaps,surprisingly i become so sensitive and identify with the character playing on TV soap operas that i start crying when the character cry on the screen ,no matter how small that character is and that reminds me of a story of shri ram krishna param hans,an enlightened master from india,who ,once while travelling in small boat to cross the river ,suddenly started groaning and expressing lot of pain as if he is whipped by some one ,when his fellow companions were scared and surprised by this kind of behavior by ram krishna,who was fine and happy just before few minutes and what happened suddenly to him?,but as the boat approached to the bank they saw that some poor guy was being whipped by big guy for some mistake that he did and they realised that ramkrishna was so identified or his spirit was so wide spread that he was feeling that exact pain which poor guy was feeling by those whips.,another very good effect that samadhi brings for me is that i am flooded with lots of great ideas which some times i tell to my family and they know its a start of my new day even its evening of the same day.right now i know that not even single person is reading this blog but someday if anyone reads and wants to join me in this meditation session they are most welcome.

this is an attempt to write something everyday about life,peace,joy and love.
its raining and dark outside with snow and ice all over piled up from before, in the atmosphere like this i used get some what unhappy and try to decide the way out of it for good which never materialised in real world and give up helplessly ,but lately by staying in touch with inner self this type of situation has stopped bothering me completely and i am totally at peace with my self as well as my surrounding people ,and in this peaceful state came this writing idea,also on several occasions in last few days i am fulfilled and happy keeping in touch with inner self.
i always knew that all the problems dissolve when you are aware within but was using that only when it was too much to handle and anxiety, because of drifting into old habits of thinking to find some short of permanent solution to the problem using outer impermanence means to cure,instead of being with inner self,but now i am aware more and more time wise and feeling so satisfying to everything around me. its truly the great treasure which is lying within me and in every being on this earth. its 1st day so it took almost an hour to write this much,hopefully will be improved as i move on.
