Lets meet so that we can Depart!

Let’s depart so that we can meet again!

In between meeting and departing,

Beloved,

Stay put in my Heart,

Meditation is art of understanding the paradox of life, Meditation is art of staying untouched in Fish Market. Meditation is art of witnessing Going and coming!

Love

Truth hurts!

When you love someone then you need not pretend, In fact your pretension shows a blackspot on your Love. To be faithful in love means you need to be truthful . Once you build foundation on Love then even thunder storm will find it difficult to shake it.

Most of us feel obligated by not hurting Loved ones by telling them what you feel on their face!. It takes initial roadblocks to overcome this “truth on your face” attitude but over a period of time this will be the only thing holds together.

That’s why relationship never stay warm over a longtime. Because there is no trust in relationship. TRUST is a byproduct of TRUTH. If you constantly feel the lack of trust in your relationship, May be you need to start again and this time with the help of truth.

Telling truth may hurt your loved one but then that’s the reality. Don’t back away from telling truth to your friends , children, wife, Colleagues etc,. Youw ill be doing favour for yourself and other by your act.

Meditation is art of learning the path of truth. Meditation is therapy of removing your mask and showing your original face. Meditation is the only truth.

Love

Suresh

Don’t waste your time too much

In desires and dreams

Stay still as much as possible

Out of silence action is born

Out of relaxedness Love is born

– poem by Suresh

Meditation is art of learning stilness is source of action. Meditation is learning art of action through silence. Meditation is knowing source of endless Love.

only a very few courageous people attain to Happiness, because only a few people risk all for it.

Happiness requires that one be courageous. It is easy to be miserable, any coward can do that, it needs no talents, no guts, any impotent person can do it. But to be Happy needs guts, courage — courage to gamble, courage to risk, courage to go into the unknown. So only a very few courageous people attain to Happiness, because only a few people risk all for it.

People are so cowardly that they don’t even risk their misery for Happiness. They cling to misery. Out of fear they cling to anything, even misery will do; they have to cling to something. They don’t allow the misery to go: even if there are opportunities to drop it, they don’t drop it. They find a thousand and one excuses not to. Even if there are occasions when Happiness, is possible, it knocks on the door, they escape and hide.

To me, courage is one of the greatest character towards journey of unknown. Meditation is art of being courageous! Meditation is nothing but courage to move into unknown, into the uncharted, the unfamiliar…

Love

Suresh

Have you noticed all preparation for peace is resulting in War. it’s strange but true. Any preparation for Peace should have resulted in quite and calm environment. We decide unless we attack someone then there is a threat to peace. Unless we wage war on certain group of people then there will no peace.

Unless we fight certain countries then there is no peace to our religion! in the name religious peace we terrorize countries! What rubbish! We have been fighting more wars in the name of Peace than War itself.

It looks like we need to change the definition of Peace, may be peace means War itself!

The same is the case with you. Your search of happiness is the reason for your unhappiness. Your frustrations and anger collectively forms a Society. And vice versa is true also. it is a vicious circle where individual influences society and society influences Individual. Very few have been able to break the shackles of society and stand on their own. A Christ here- a Krishna there -a Mohammad here -A Buddha there .

Society is nothing but a collection of individuals. All revolutions fail because of this. Only evolution has a long lasting effect because it works at a individual level. Unless a certain change starts happening at each family in terms of non-violence, peace and awareness it is difficult to stop War. The choice is yours. You may think that by practicing peace at your level What can happen?. Trust me! Meditation has a atomic effect.

Meditation of art of fighting bullet with Rose, Meditation is a courageous journey of non-violence. To me it takes bigger guts to be non-violent than to be Violent. Meditation is a way of responding fire with compassion and love.

Sufi poem by suresh:

I wait and wait
in awareness
for my beloved
she keeps me waiting as long as I am attentive
In a moment when I lose my attention
I hear my beloved knocking on door
I guess i missed her in a blink of eye
I need to learn to wait patiently in awareness
spring will come and grass grows by itself
whenever I am in a hurry with mind
I miss my beloved often!
I need to wait, it seems
waiting is the only way to hurry up!- poem by suresh

PS: Beloved is the name of the God in sufiana tradition!

Meditation is art of learning that you have all the time in the world. Meditation is art of learning doing nothing is doing something. Meditation is a way of growth through rest.

Love

Suresh

Sufi fable and Story by Suresh:

After landing at Rumi’s tomb I was eager to pray. After years of planning finally I was in Konya and near Rumi’s tomb. I was waiting near the tomb’s door to open as I landed early before scheduled open time. I decided to take a walk and I was in great mood,

As I walked across the road I met a Fakir begging on street, he asked

“Nawab, Please spare me some coins?”

I smiled back at him and said ” why coins? let me give you a note and I am in good mood today as I am going to get into Rumi’s tomb for prayer? ”

he didn’t get excited but asked me” Have you been here before? ; I said”no, this is my first time”

Fakir looked into my eyes and asked me “What are you going to ask BABA(Rumi)?”

I went blank for a minute and said ‘ the usual stuff, praying for wealth, health, good luck to me and my family”

Fakir laughed at me and said ” you seems to be bigger beggar than me, I am only asking for few coins and I have everything in this world – a song, a dance and Air conditioned weather, Sunbathing beaches. but you seems to be beggar in disguise of a gentleman, looks like you are constantly begging God for one thing or the other”

While holding a note in my hand i was stunned, I didn’t know what to say, only thing I knew for sure is I am bigger beggar than Fakir.

Fakir walked away with a blessing to me and small question to me” why not ask for God himself if you are going to beg anyway? why just wealth and health?

Lightning struck me at that moment and Later when I prayed at the tomb , I couldn’t ask for anything. Since then I have praying without reason. Prayer it’s self has been such a blessing, i don’t think I need anything more!

End of fable.

Meditation is art of prayer without reasons. Meditation is the ultimate prayer you can offer, Meditation is nothing but being grateful to whole existence for no reason. Meditation is the realizing that you are an emperor inside.

Love and lots of it.

Meditation story and ZEN fable by Suresh

I met my destiny yesterday in a odd place! I was just relaxing watching a beautiful sunset! then I suddenly met unfamiliar yet familiar face! I asked him “do i know you?, ofcourse; he said ” I am your destiny”

I laughed hard and told him “what is he doing here? of all the odd places, you are meeting me when I am relaxing? I told him to come over tomorrow when I am trading and I would love to know more about my destiny!”( and make some money too!)

He laughed so hard that I was embarrassed by that noise, I was worried about his lack of manners but then very rarely i meet my destiny so I was patient with him , He took deep breath and waited for a moment to allow unbearable silence to occupy between us and then he spoke in a deep baritone voice!

“Hey Idiot! I have been always there, I am tired of running behind you, You have been running after career, wealth, women, ambition and I am running after you. I almost met you couple of times when you were watching sunset, sipping tea, spending a laugh with family but you always moved quickly from relaxedness to desire, Only if you had waited for some more time then I would have met you earlier!

I said: What nonsense? you bloody destiny ? what’s your goal? what’s my destiny? ” I almost wanted to slap him with irritation.

Destiny with his smile as big as his mouth said slowly “your destiny is same as every blade of grass, every flower and every being on this earth, it is happiness, it is relaxation and it is awareness and that’s all is your destiny , rest are just tools to arrive there.

Oh yeah ! i screamed ” when Can I get it?

He said “right now! here and now! this moment if you can relax and be aware, you have arrived! And I can spend with you rest of my life if you can stay in this moment!”

I gazed into silence in front of me as it started en gulping me in positive way, I just arrived at my destination!

End of fable.

Meditation is knowing you have arrived at the station before you start your journey, meditation is art of realizing that this moment is enough to make lifetime journey. Meditation is remembering that you are already at home. Meditation is meeting destiny at this moment.

Love dear ones and lots of it
