An Ode To Imagination

We all imagine. I do not know about animals. Imagination is the source of creativity. New ideas are created by imagination. When we allow new ideas arise with an open, free and imaginative mind life changes for better. We do not become possesive. We share our ideas with others for the benefits of others. Sahring our ideas with others uncondionally benefits all. I consder such creating and sharing a spiritual gift to me as a giver and to others as receivers. I do not posses such ideas and copy right them. They are to share with anybody willing to receive them and pass them to otthers as gifts. As Saint Francis of Assisi says giving is receiving. As the ancient Hindu Rishis say in Ishavasya Upanishida in Sanskrit-tena tyaktena bunjithah my phalesu kadachana-Renounce and rejoice with no exceptation of rewards. Every morning when I wake up I see in my back yard mother or father sparrows feeding seeds first to their little ones and then they pick up and eat the left over seeds. This may be an instinctive behavior. To me it is a spiritual act. And we all can do it when we do not have a colonial mind , a possesive mind, a controling mind. Namste! Jagdsih P Dave

Aloha and mahalo Jagdish- especially for bringing in St Francis and Upanishads- I feel so much beauty in listening to trees, elements, and animals. I see how us humans could live in joy and peaceful cooperation. Perhaps the multitudes of humans who subscribe to Hindu and Christian religions can open to all of that.
