I am guilty of stealing silence!
I am guilty of stealing silence!
Recently a friend named “Lou” asked me if I have stolen my meditation psots from someone! He said it looks like I have stolen from Osho!
Obviously he did not spend enough time on my site. If you just type Osho in my site search engine then you will find my first blog note which is dedicated to my first teacher.
But there is more to it. I have stolen more silence and more notes from lot of others too. I have stolen from Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, Brain Weiss, Gangaji, Inayat Khan, Reshad field, Jesus, Buddha, Patanjali, Castaneda, Cohelo, Teresa, Rumi, Hafeez, Zorba, Gar Zukov, Einstein, Krishna, Richard Bach, Hugh Prather, Anne Beasant, Eckhart Tolle, Blavostsky, Idreis shah, and countless others.
In one way or the other, my awareness is a by-product of many teachers and wisdom of ages. Everything on this blog belong to someone else who met awareness before me!
Unfortunately I cannot say same thing about photos, they belong to a moment where I was present enough to click using my camera! They are mostly mine!
I am guilty as charged and I indeed stole a moment of silence from these masters and many thanks to them for being compassionate towards me.
Meditation is the only truth which cannot be shared, you can read thousand of scriptures and meet thousand gurus, but when silence descends on you, it is going to be your personal space which cannot be shared! Awareness is when you disappear and whole universe is mirrored inside you!
Thank you!
Cheers
Suresh
This post is very uncreative Suresh, considering what Einstein had said “The secret to creativity is knowing how to hide your sources”
Hmm I wonder where they had ’stolen’ from? Wonder what would happen if they too copyrighted everything they spoke about. Every time we loved someone, we’d have to pay $x fee to…

“Who said this to whom?” was a memory excercise we have in school text books. But I feel what really matters more is “What is being said, and is it relevant to me?” and I’ve found a lot of very relevant invaluable stuff in these pages, thank you Suresh.

What an eloquent response, Suresh! Most of us learn from our mentors along life’s journey – it’s a shame “Lou” hasn’t made the connection yet on his path. We can only hope time will be his friend.
Beautiful photograph – I can almost smell it!
Love you, dear one!

Forwarded Email: Mumbai: We Will Stand United
I just signed a message calling for unity following the attacks in Mumbai. Read the email below – Thanks
————————–
Dear friends across India and the world,
We’re all feeling the shock of the awful attacks in Mumbai. All our hearts go out to the victims and their families.
The attacks were aimed at our people, our prosperity and our peace. But their top target was something else: our unity. If these attacks cause us to turn on each other in hatred and conflict, the terrorists will have won. They know that hatred and chaos feed on division. As radical extremists, their only hope of winning is by turning the rest of us against each other.
Let’s deny them that victory. We’re launching a message to extremists on all sides and all our political leaders, one that will soon be published in newspapers across India and Pakistan. The message is that these tactics have failed, that we’re more united than ever, united in our love and support to each other, determined to work together against terror and call on our leaders to do the same. If millions of people sign it, our message will be unmistakable, click below to sign it and please forward this email widely:

It’s time to speak out, let’s do it together.
Thanks
