  Invisible Beyond Visible                                                Credit-Lsaiah McClean (Unsplash) The narrative of Invisible VS Visible to me     appears like a Salsa dance where steps in both casings move together irrespective of their scopes & subject matters. For example Corona virus is invisible yet the extensive human devastation it has done world over is visible.   The human life looks visible but philosophically speaking, isn’t it   all a dream and   for instance what was visible few minutes back has turned to invisible on death. Even our aura, sensations, beliefs, inner feelings, conscious & sub-conscious mind are all     invisible.      Similarly what is indexed by the mind is all invisible unless we express to get into a visible mode.   Look how the invisible mind (not the bra...

 

 

 

 

  Live to Laugh, Laugh to Live                                                                                                 Credit-Peter Bucks (Unsplash) When a toddler gets up in the morning, the first thing he/she does is looks and smiles at the mother.   The mother cherishes those moments and touches the face and the toddler starts chuckling and giggling. I recall when I was a school kid, my late mother would admonish whenever I had a hefty laugh.  She felt it was arrogance and not in tune with the discipline. But today who cares, whenever the occasion demands, I do laugh loudly from the interior of my soul.   I bet often people around know whose bang and bashing laughter is this.   Isn’t life a full circl...

 

 

 

                        Living in Past, Looking at Future                                                                                              Credit-Gerd Altmann (Pixabay) ‘A Japanese warrior was captured by his enemies and thrown into prison. That night he was unable to sleep because he feared that the next day he would be interrogated, tortured, and executed. Then the words of his Zen master came to him, “Tomorrow is not real. It is an illusion. The only reality is now.” Heeding these words, the warrior became peaceful and fell asleep’.                         ...

 

 

 

                        Impatience Drives Persistence                                                                                      Credit-Public Domain Pictures (Pixabay)       I recall as a schoolboy I was little sluggish, shy and bit irritating as well. I was told repeatedly that I was depicting minor signs of intolerance and restlessness. For example, those days while on the dining table, I would be the first one to finish my food quickly, get up and go wash hands. I recall my late father had noticed traces of annoyance and irritation so much so that couple of times he would shout and say “Are Chinese soldiers after you that you are in the habit of finishing your dinner so quickly?” (Unfo...

                                                Why Be  Judgmental  ?                                              Credit-Andrey Zvyagintsey (Unsplash) A lot of time I have been thinking why most people are usually being judgmental .  I feel we first need to know what we mean by being judgmental . To me, being judgmental  is evaluating   a person critically. This is being negative, harmful and spreading unhelpful aura around. It is true that we all have normal positive and negative thoughts. But being judgmental , I feel spoils the relationships and increases enmity and bad feelings around us. I am of the opinion that generally there are two main types of judgmental  persons. One who expresses critical views in the absenc...
