Do we know the other side?
Knowledge limited to the drop, aspiring to be assertive in the ocean.
What is correct? Can you tell?
How can you, with an ocean of unknowns?
So, is being wrong more human?
Then, Is stating something correct wrong?
If correct becomes meaningless, wrong becomes redundant.
Things are as they are, do we waste time tagging them?
Tell why the word "insignificant" peeps into my mind when I think of our grasp over the system?
What do you see? Is it there? Or do you think it is?
How close is reality beyond perception?
Should we know the other side?
Known is relationship. What is it between you and your mind?
What if I say, you are your mind?
You know what your mind knows.
How does your mind know?
The system the only source.
You intake, filter, distort, retain, discard and give back.
Initial self-written programs, help in the next set of intakes to discard to give back
Time makes the code advanced and complicated
He might use your output as an intake.
You use your mind to think about your mind, which taught you to think!
An AI robot built by the system. How would it look like? Hmm
Are we talking about us?
Doesn’t the vestiges left behind by time form a circle?
How many sides does a circle have?
Does the world have two sides? Or
Are we ignorant about one half of the same side?
The farthest and the closest point form any point on this globe are the same point.
You don’t know
You start knowing,
You think you know,
You realise you don’t know.
Can’t you see a short path here?
Why still take the long one? How difficult it is to know nothing?
“Nothing is impossible” dose it still hold well?
Is there a convenience side to knowledge?
The well accepted Geetha says,
“What did you bring to take with you”,
“Nothing is yours”.
Now think, can you say "My wife”?
Do we only take the easy ones in knowledge?
Perceiving reality makes it unreal, so we perceive unreal things as real.
Would never end, as asking questions is easy!

Then, this is love…
‘Definition' of love is more irrelevant than impossible
Just 'expression' will give the best shot…
It’s between you and what you see, you can feel it, yet can’t see it
It’s beyond what you see, you can’t see it, yet feel it
Then, this is love…
She wants to make you happy and
feels happier than you, in you being happy..
Then, this is love…
Waiting to see her, after a long time
The world becomes uni-directional , the one in which you expect her,
Microscope and telescope loose its necessity
You can see the circling electrons in every atom of the atmosphere...
Suddenly, a split second sunrise, there she is
The world becomes uni-directional , the one in which you expect her,
Microscope and telescope loose its necessity
You can see the circling electrons in every atom of the atmosphere...
Suddenly, a split second sunrise, there she is
Wants to run, you too, still comes walking towards you, What happens inside?
Then, this is love…
Doing any crap together, you live and enjoy the moment to the fullest
That’s the closest you can get to reality,
It’s the empty gap before you exhale
It’s when your presence and absence triggers a tear, she is happy
To you, you disappear, for her, you become omnipresent
It’s the race everyone runs on the clouds
Thinking, no one ever ran like this before
Not bothered about the finish, getting max out of the journey
The magic at last, every one wins!!!

Unconditional love.
Once, on the shore, I saw her. Started diving into the depths of the deep blue sea, without getting wet. She was controlling my eyes…I was not, but it got stuck to her. I started to breathe her beauty…. what an intoxication? I felt more handsome now. She started to draw me into a state of silence. Was I breathing? She was in the air cleansing my inner self. I am sure, its the first time I am seeing her but she was so familiar by heart. I felt to have spent every second of my existence in her arms. This is something new… is this “love well before the first sight”.
She dispatched a smile through the wind to me. I realized my strength at heart; it handled what even the lighting arresters could have not. What did it do to me? Was I blushing? The whole world has missed a beautiful source of renewable energy. An eye transplant in a second to my heart, he also joined me in seeing the sublime being.
All processes came to a stand still due to lack of sufficient memory space, she had occupied whatever was available. I don’t know how and when it happened, she was inside me, I was spellbound. I closed my eyes to spend some time with my most wanted guest within. Something magical was happening, the artificial decibels started to reduce around us, the whistle of the wind sounded like a personalized symphony…. Felt like coming close to eternal bliss. My arms opened and I was hugged by her, tight……… now I can’t convey my state but sure u can understand. My heart did not skip but forgot to beat. I dint expect that, at least so soon …but now expect her not to leave. As I was floating in the cloud of care and love, small concern started to grow; will I be alive after she releases me from her arms? I felt at home.
She came close to my ears; I was close to getting evaporated. She whispered “How can you ever dream of not being loved by me? The moment you start I am yours and you are mine.”
Can any one be so lucky in life? Yes, every one can be.
I forgot to tell you her name,it's “Nature”.

Its not about cleverness but content when it comes to writing
I read a well structured article on net about a particluar concept which many will love to comment about.The author has done a good job in explaing what he feels is correct. I also tried to do the same in reply.
This is the link for that article:
http://www.deeshaa.org/is-sri-sri-ravi-shankar-a-con-man/
And this was my response
This is again an opinion and not considered to be a verdict or even anything near it.
Note: I am NOT a follower of sri sri ravi shankar
As I was reading your blog, one thing was clear to me, that you have good clarity in some areas in life. (I said ‘some’ in comparison with the large no. of areas of knowledge present in the world). Because the coherence in the content (in almost 60% of the section) being conveyed and the effective way in which it has been portrayed, is not possible by someone who only knows good English and who has access to lot of knowledge repositories which is not his own.
Rather, it can only happen in an attempt to express ones inbuilt and time-tested ideologies using a comprehensible language with a particular motive in mind.
This can only happen in an attempt to express ones inbuilt and time-tested ideologies using a user understandable language, towards a particular motive.
The most sensible (doesn’t mean others are not…) from your writing.
“The reason I am cautioning you about this is often a consumer may start attributing superior motives to a provider where none exists. And once you misjudge a person’s motives, you can make mistakes like putting them on pedestals, giving them all your money, accepting all that is said uncritically, etc.”
This again was good.
“What works for you is what matters, not what I think of the technique or some person. In fact, that is the crux of the matter. The mind is the ultimate and what happens to you is what your mind makes possible. If you believe that something is good for you (and indeed it is not bad to begin with), then it WILL be good for you.”
Main points from “the compilation of your opinions” (as far as my understanding goes).
It’s a clever compilation of what already existed for long.
Good technique of marketing and commercialization employed.
First, my opinion about the clever compilation.
At this juncture anything expressed by a person is something borrowed knowingly or unknowingly from the system over the period of time he has existed. Infinite number of people have done this process infinite number of times before us. At some point of time somebody tries to compile their understanding in some form, which if effectively is appreciated by many as everyone does not have the potential to look at, what things have taught them, in a connected manner over a period of time. This in turn, slowly with passage of time becomes a source of information which is a subset or an inherited class under the whole system itself.
The same process is done again and again by mankind and here they use the subsets also as a source of information. The fact is that, we have solutions to most of our problems within us in terms of lessons learnt from our own experiences as well as others’. And for those we don’t have answers within us, we can get it from someone else who has a solution developed as a result of his own experiences or the set of others’ experience which he has come across.
But the problem is either to find the answers within you or to find the person who has an answer for you. Even if you manage to find someone who might have the answer, he might as well be facing the same problem as you have.
Now the need of the hour is a clever compilation, which is a very difficult task to accomplish. If you are able to manage the data collected over a wide area and develop a mechanism to retrieve the relevant ones at the required hour and process it to an easily understandable format And on top of it, if you can make the whole thing easily implementable to majority of the users, then no doubt, you will be the biggest hit in any industry. Even there are many attempts being made in material areas and to some extent people have succeeded., as the no. of parameters to be taken into account is limited. But to do it with life is very difficult as the parameters to be studied are very vast.
Having said all this, if he has done a clever enough compilation that is helping a dynamically growing huge group to solve majority of problems of their life and has made it reachable to so many people around the world keeping his capital as people themselves, I feel his act, deserves if not appreciation at least recognition but definitely not a statement calling it to be “simple and a usual act”
I am not saying that he is a person to be worshiped.
My stand point is: His preaching is his own version of the open source code of the system and is very profound.
Second about the commercialization
The content and its commercialization, this is a relation often being amplified. If you take things which are being commercialized these days, the actual content will be many times less than what is being actually conveyed to the consumer of the product. This has become the style of the day; it is being taken in its own way by the consumers.
But comparing the gap between the content and the conveyed impression in all the areas, whatever marketing or commercialization you claim is being done with “art of living” is, insignificant.
Just because of the magnitude of the gap being insignificant one can’t justify the act of commercialization. When you are trying to do something, that is beyond a particular size in terms of the parameters involved, your control over it reduces. At the same time anything big cannot be done alone and you cannot find exact replicas of yourself to help you.
Even if you manage to, you will be still be losing out on the positives of others which you might not possess. At the same time they might possess some negatives which need not exactly coincide with your set of negatives. (with a basic and valid assumption that every one has positives and negatives)
So any big initiative being taken is a result of an aggregation of positives and negatives ( with uncertainties of time) of everyone involved in taking the whole thing forward. Here the weightage will be more to the ideologies of the person who is heading it and will reduce as you go towards the lower rung of people. This is what generally happens in any organization with trivial exceptions. Here, more the strength, focus and sense in the ideology of the leader, the more it will penetrate into the organization.
Once you have understood the above said, you will know that as you leverage the positives of the other members you should also be ready to bare with the negatives if it is considerably and comparatively less.
So I would like to conclude that if any one sees “The art of living” as a whole unit with an unbiased, neutral and a logical approach, they would (possibly) find that, there are few things of not great value which can be easily filtered but lots of great knowledge and practices compiled in a easily understandable way.
A one point contact for an enormous set of needs of life, with pure logic as the ingredient.
Other inherent but trivial aspects:
Stories of superhuman feats – Those are mere interpretations of people, who are expected to distort communication even if it’s a three level communication. Here the network is huge so it is expected to happen. After reading your blog, I went through the website (not very comprehensively, rather don’t have the patience to do it) and I was not able to find any references to super human feats. Please do let me know the exact area. I too don’t appreciate such things.
I am very sure that I have exceeded the word limit of a response to that article of yours. So I am stopping here. Will get back if I feel so.
I would like re-emphasise that am not a follower of sri sri ravi shankar but I like the content of art of living course.
I saw that you have included few responses to your article in your blog……but then its orientation is single sided, If you really appreciate healthy arguments then go ahead in putting this too….we will see where this takes us to.

One of the creative feathers......
I worte this sometime in 2000 for an online contest.
An Attempt To........
Our love is true for SURE
She hates exhaling these days!
You know WHY?
She inhales me!
Its my turn to REASSURE, so
I've stopped telling "I love You"
You know WHY?
"I" comes first and "You" comes LAST
I want her to be first at any COST
This is just a simily, FINE!
Because LOVE is beyond humans to DEFINE.
