Reading this story , reminded me of the ever present story within me ' Who Am I ? Where did I come
from ? and where do I go after this birth ? and lastly What is the purpose of my life in this birth ? The
search for the answers to the above questions still continues and I am not too sure when will I get the
answers , where in this birth or not . However the search contiues

There are times in one's life , to become aware of this poison and reflect for it is a wake up call for bringing about a transformation about the self . That is my own experience in life and it led to believing in my own self and bringing about the necessary changes in my own life . In my own context I am grateful to that wake up call till today .

Thank you for sharing . Your experience with your father was your motivatation and stepping stone to your success and your grand parents were your guardian angels .

When I listen to trees , the message comes across of about the sacrifices they have made not only for humans , but for all living beings . They also convey the cruelty they have to suffer at times , for the trees that bears the sweetest fruits are the targets of maximum stones by humans . As a little child while staying with my grandparents , the date palm trees were a significant landmark to my grand parents home and as a child when I saw those trees , I understood that I was homeward bound and there would be joy within me .

 Being reflects who you are from the soul within you . It is an inner expression of who you actually are . If one does not does not express from the level of being , then the ego comes in between and one only expressses oneself at the surface level and not from the level of being .it takes considerable amount of courage and express oneself at the being level .

 In the aloneness and silence and erasing the ego completely and going deep within to my inner being I am able to be at peace within  myself and accept who I am . It is then I understand  that I am whole ..

 Expectations from our actions in all areas of our lives always results in failure . One performs the action required and moves on .

 My mother is suffering from dementia and she is at the last stage of the didease . She cannot recognize anyone even her own children and is totally bedridden . The doctors have given up . She is totally silent , however her eyes reflect her pain ans suffering she is going through . There is total acxceptance of her condition and a silent prayer to  God to ease her suffering by letting her move on to the next phase of her journey . . The emptyness within is there , however would like she passes away peacefully with her suffering cut short .

 My heart has been broken before for the people I loved moved away and am alone today . However over the years , the healing has taken place within and have moved on . However in today's world , the heart has been broken because of the intolerance , basic lack of humanity from one being to another and hatred which seems to be growing without no end in sight . However at the same time , the heart also seems to say , ok if all these negative  vibes abounds in today's world.  be unstoppable and take action and that is my intention .

 Beautiful . Practise spirituality in the Here and Now . Be true to yourself .

 Small graces means to do mundane things in life , like picking up trash from the foot path and throwing it in the garbage bin , hearing the birds singing as I go for my morning walk in the early hours of the dawn and connect with my inner self . Small graces mean visiting my ex wife's mother who was sick in the hospital as I wanted to connect with her and find out how she was . Small graces means being and doing things for others however trival it may be which would bring a smile on their faces and would make me happy .

 Beautiful story . There is God in each one of us and it is for each one of us to be aware that God is within us all the time .

 Inspirational . For me , it is seeing my great great grand father whom I had the privilege of seeing as a child . When the British ruled India , he was in the police force and he was promoted to become an Inspector in the police one of they few Indians who rose to that rank during British rule . As a child he not only took interest in my education but also taught me the meaning of integrity , compassion , empathy and love , the values which i imbibed from him as a child . today it has been my endeavor to carry forward my great great father's legacy by setting an example of my own life spreading the values which I learnt from him . there is a considerable gratitude for him for inculcating the vales I imbibed from him .  

 Who am I in this vast unfathomable universe , the extent of which humans have to yet to completely discover . A tiny insignificant dot , It boggles the mind . And yet man's ego is so big that he still tries to discover the source of life and play God by trying to be immortal . It is a humbling experience to dream about the universe and it's origins .

 Have had my own roller coasters in life , however there is no malice , hatred or bitterness towards none , only acceptance . Moved on and this experience made me compassionate human being .

 Thank you so much . So very true . What we see outside of us manifests only when the change within us takes place . This is a universal law and have experienced it in my own life . We are the creators .

 Thank you for this wonderful narrative from the epic Mahabharat , ancient Indian wisdom that has withstood the test of time . For me Giving represents just give , without any agenda of my own , from the bottom of my heart and then moving on . That is it .

 Thank you . Not resisting resistance for me acceptance of that moment knowing that this moment too shall pass . Change is the law of the Universe .

 Love at home  begins for me from the inner core of my being . That space , the silence which I connect to everyday after waking up and learn to be with myself . that is home , that is where love is for me , a candle ever burning brightly at home .  .Loving myself and from here this love flows outwards to others who I connect in my life . A deep feeling of  love and compassion as I move on in life .

 Thank you . For me to stay awake and being broken open has been an emotional roller coaster ride which is still an on gong process . After my divorce and it's aftermath , it has been an experience where I learnt my lessons and gradually shifted my focus from the outer world to the inner world inside .  Even after doing that , there have been occasions when I have slipped up in this journey , fallen down , hurt myself , got up and started walking on my journey again . i am awake and present on the path I am walking .
