Ashram, Aa-shram i.e. a place where there is no place for efforts and the first thing that comes effortlessly in Bangalore ashram is a smile. Its takes over our face the very moment we enter this place. The longer you stay here, bigger it grows. Sometimes jaws do pain but that just adds more smile to our face. You have no control over it, such is this place. Smile, a very small gesture, but has immense effect. It may appear on the surface but kindles love deep inside. Smile is a blessing, for those who feel unblessed or the ones, who doubt about it, can simply look into the mirror. The smiling self would just wash away all doubts. When we smile, even watching an elephant becomes pure delight, people with long hair and lose cloths look cooler than ever, washing our own dish feels so great and neither we mind walking kms just to see dome with plastic walls. Smile here is very durable and long lasting; it stays even after 2 triphala shots. Its beauty increases many folds when lips stay glued for days. Some smiles are full of divinity but the divine’s smile lightens our heart.

Warrior in Mess!!
Walking through the darkness.
In the clutter of thoughts and events
outer silence so horrifying, still calmer than inner chaos.
lost in the thoughts, walking the endless road,
with every passing minutes, mind goes numb.
like a warrior, still facing the battle
when the body gives up, mind freezes and eyes follow them.
woke up with strange sounds in the head,
Thunder tearing silence apart, dark clouds all around,
Raining to burn
Warrior gets back on his feet, to face the demons,
with valour and strength, tries to face the enemy
He looks all around but finds none.
Warrior searches for the self
He finds the demon atlast.
Breathing his way to bliss, ends the war.
Sun shining and smiling, lightens the path for the enlightened.

sunset and darkness!!!
If darkness is evil, why is sunset so soothing??
Many of us are scared of darkness, but why? we think darkness is bad or evil. If this is true, than why is sunset so soothing. We consider sunset as one of the most beautifull moment of the day. Many a times we travel far places just to enjoy SunSet and the bliss of the moment. Than why do we think, darkness symbolise the evil. A empty road even with proper street light looks scary and in day light it doesn't affect us. Simple logic is, in darkness, we can't see properly and in day light, we can see everything. But let's see this in a different shade, were darkness can be compared with lack of awareness. when we are ignorant, we are scared of uncertainties. But the moment about to come, is full of such uncertainties. At the same time light can be compared with awareness. When we are aware of the present moment, future uncertainties become certain. Just like our vision in day light.
