Suresh gundappa 2010

we remain alienated from one another..

after such extended togetherness

we again depart again to meet again in the hope…

this time our hearts would meet.

will these eyes ever witness
a green and spotless spring

Will the rains from heaven
cleanse the garden
of the stains of blood

I recall that the eve of
seperation
from our last lives…

When I stood On this bank
and saw you cross the
river…

Ruthless were the moments
that followed the
pangs of end of love

Lightness were the morns
that follwed those
generous sights of union

I call for you….
I sing your name in this forest…

the birds respond to my wail and
return with a
heavy heart….as the song stops

I recall these moments…

though much was
and
much was said….

but…what i went
prepared from deep
within my soul to say
was left unsaid….

Life in Five bottles!

Beyond funny story depicted in this photograph , note that Man lives his life thru milk bottle!. Milk bottle represents actually safety and security that reminds of Mothers breast!  in fact that’s the man’s struggle for life!

Throughout life he hankers for security -  Secure house, Secure wealth, Secure love, Secure job……but mostly man’s struggle is for security.  That’s how life eludes most of the people.

Life cannot be secure ,only death can be secure,  Beauty of life lies in its insecurity!  life can happen only to people who does not know what happens to them tomorrow.

That’s why a caterpillar can die to become a butterfly!

person often meets his destiny on the road he took to avoid it!  Get out of the bottle and Jump! See where it takes you!

The beauty of the above photograph is that – only first bottle is not your choice! all other bottles are your choices! life is all about choices we take and make!  Then you know what life is, other wise when you end up on a last bottle of the above photograph!  When you reach that bottle you will start thinking about life!

Life doesn’t happen to thinkers! Life happens to doers!

Get out! Go get a life!

Love

Suresh

Barack Obama might be winning elections in Potomac primaries across US but Microsoft doesn’t think much of him! If you type Obama into Microsoft word and wait for spelling recommendation form Microsoft then it recommends Osama!

In history of mankind only two kinds of people have been remembered for generations. Only two kinds… Meditators and Murderers

On one hand Christ, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammad who are part of religious consciousness and are alive today with number of followers.

On the other hand Hitler, Saddam, Osama has remained part of daily unconscious thinking and are equally remembered regularly in various platforms.

It’s a strange history isn’t it? Well you decide what you want to pick?

Meditation is nothing but rediscovering your-self. Meditation is art of discovering whatever was there for centuries and whatever will be there for centuries. Meditation is Alchemy of transforming murderers effect on mankind.

if you are hell bent on taking revenge, make sure you dig two graves!

Bullets never listen to prayer

Bombs can never be made in God’s courtyard

In war

you never win without losing,

In love

Only losers can win the game,

If you are not for love

if you are hell bent on revenge

Make sure you there are two graves , One for YOU & one for your so called enemy!

War is only an example, you fight everyday with friends, family, business etc. There is nothing like small or big in revenge. Look at yourself and answer how many times you wished harm to someone? Every time you consciously caused hurt or thinking about hurting someone then you have killed some part of your soul. Slowly you form a vicoious circle of peopel wanting to hurt each other. You have a tremendous opportunity to love someone, be nice to someone today, May you just helped someone from getting killed.

Meditation is the most courageous thing anyone can do. Meditation is a journey of unconditioned compassion. Meditation is an antidote to violent nature of mind.

Fate is the outcome of your mind

Fate is when you live out greed and ambition

Fate is the result of your anger

Fate is when you are in mind.

Destiny is Love

Destiny is river flowing back to Ocean

Destiny is right now and be here

Destiny is taking a ticket to no where.

Destiny is your deep acceptance of what you are.

Destiny is when you give up your fate and stay in Love.

Don’t blame your fate for your problems. You worry about fate because you are stuck in problems of the world. In Love there is no where to go, You have arrived at your destiny even before you start your Journey. Your destiny is manifested in you and by your awareness.

Meditation is joy of journey, Meditation is art of manifesting your destiny.

Love

you take so much time to keep your house clean

your cubicle clean,

your body clean,

your place clean,

why won’t

you take sometime everyday to clean your Mind?

truly it doesn’t matter how dirty is your cup

when you are drinking divine.

Meditation is science of cleaning your mind. Meditation is the only broomstick you need to remove dust gathered on your mind. Meditation is your vacuum cleaner to get in to no-mind.

Anger knocked on my door

Love answered the door

only to find

no-one outside the door.

I heard the knock again few days later

Love opened the door

only to find Love outside.

Meditation is a way of Love, Meditation is knowing this world is made of stuff called Love. Meditation is Love.

Lots of love, dear ones

I am always right, even when I am wrong!

This is where I started my life!

I am always right, I am right even when I am wrong

My Ego was bigger than truth

slowly I realised I was wrong most of the times. I was just lost in philosophical jungle of RIGHT and WRONG!

Soon I learned that I need to stop worrying about Right and Wrong

But the truth is

I am in awareness or I am in Unconsciousness, That’s all

mmm….

Whatever I did in awareness turned out to be right path

whatever I did out of unconsciousness didn’t go too far

So I have stopped thinking over RIGHT and WRONG

All I am aspiring is to stay in awareness!

Meditation is art of Staying in middle path, Meditation is to know you are always on a right path with awareness. Meditation is beyond right and wrong.

Love

Suresh

The world is a flower; smell it and pass it to your friends.

What kind of wealth you have?

which doesn’t grow by sharing?

May be that all you have collected in the name of wealth

Must be garbage

If you do not have fragrant love within you

how will you be rich?

Discover something inside you which grows by sharing!

that’s true wealth.

it could be a smile, a thought or just gesture

but something which grows within you when you share.

Meditation is art of discovering that which has been shared by many for centuries. Meditation is a quality which grows by sharing. Meditation is when you overflow and you can do nothing but share.

Love

suresh
