flame of discontent - Devutthana ekadashi

Awakening of intelligence means, having an insight into a human issue.
And insight means observing what is, with a mind that is completely free - and therefore empty.
That emptiness gives you insight.
That insight awakens this intelligence.

Or, having this intelligence, there is this insight - it works both ways.

Most of us, are discontented.
And that very flame of discontent, becomes a great passion.
And that passion is this intelligence.

Lakshmi emanates

Sajjana sadhu pujaya welagey

Majjige olagina benney anthe

Bhagyada Lakshmi Baaramma


As butter from churn of buttermilk

You emanate, O fortuitous Lakshmi

When the subdued, distill you in worship

- Purandara Dasa

Turn over in slumber

A religion that is now asserting itself all over the world, is about here, now, the present. There is nowhere to go. And no other time to live - only here and now.

Life has to become very intense in this moment. Happiness means intensity, tremendous depth. Such intensity, that there is no need for future. Then, there is a turning,  a transformation.

The very quality of time changes for you - it becomes eternal.

Krishna breaks into verse on paying attention to incoming and outgoing breaths.

All that we take into our system can be held as incoming - what we listen, what we see, touch, smell, taste. All inputs to our mind through what we hear, see, read and understand can be held as incoming breaths.

And how we respond or reach out to the world, can be held as our outgoing  breaths.

- Swami Chinmayananda Saraswati

Vishnu's conscious slumber

When one can transcend even in sleep mode, cannot one transcend  in wakeful states?

- Osho :  Alertness, awareness, mindfulness



That which is night to all beings, in that the conscious man wakes; 

That into which all beings wake, is night to one who transcends.

Krishnamurti Jayanti

No armies, weapons, nations, no religions are needed.

All that is needed is a little meditativeness, silence, love, a little more humanity.

And existence will become fragrant, with something so totally unique and new . . .

Nr-Simha Jayanti

Why do you not call? O reveller
O pleasant Lord

moon emits embers that singe
buzz of bees, a panic siege

flutter of wind teases to a tremble
storm seized body, a shivering wane

Cupid darts find their mark
O man-lion of Namagiri
what holds you back?
why do you not call?
