ॐ विश्वं दर्पणदृश्यमाननगरीतुल्यं निजान्तर्गतं
पश्यन्नात्मनि मायया बहिरिवोदभूतं यथा निद्रया।
यः साक्षात्कुरुते प्रबोधसमये स्वात्मानमेवाद्वयं
तस्मै श्री गुरुमूर्तये नम इदं श्री दक्षिणामूर्तये॥
With the obeisance to Lord Dakshinamurthy who resides within, I begin this blog. Actually, I was never going to write this blog. I do write my journal - almost daily. For me, my journal is a record of the internal events of my life; and where there are external ones, on how they impacted me.
I started writing a journal in 2002. After I finished my first BLHP, I got initiated into writing a journal. So there go all my reflections, internal processes, my dreams, my fantasies, my convictions, in short all that happens to me either because of myself or because of the environment.
Of late, life has taken another turn. I started writing a muse. The other day, I wrote in my journal that I should write a book. A book of my experiences. A name also came, "Experiences with Myself." I did not actually dismiss the idea, but I know that this is not the time. So how do I prepare? I simply decided to share more of what I write.
As I shared a few of my muse with my soul group, Sukhi urged me on to put my writings up on the blog. So here am I, slowly publishing my writings on the blog. I will in due course of time, dig out some more matter and put up online. Of course, some things don't go online - for that you'll have to know me really well!
When we begin any enterprise, we always end up thanking those for being there - who have in their own way made it possible for us to be where we are. And so I would like to remember at this moment: My Guruji, Lord Dakshinamurthy, my parents, my ISABS journey mates (and I'll call all my facilitators as my mates), the souls with me in the "Who Am I", my HR guru Kantha, my soul connections, Sukhi - the soul who urged me to put these online and connect with the universe.
As I write this, I become more clear - I write for myself, for my own learning, for my own clarity. In that quest, if there are others who find a light, or can shine a light for me, our lives would be blessed and enriched.
Much of what I write is about my own frailities and vulnerabilities. I have discovered that in my own vulnerability is my strength - perhaps that will be a muse one day.
This to me now is not a blog - but a personal expression, a platform for the fountain of the inner self, a sticky pad for like souls to congregate and share.
May we all reach our destinies and in the richness of our sharing, fill up each other...
