Loyal

     Longing on, young and lovely.. does it mean being loyal? This word has different shades of gray, depending on once upbringing/circumstances. Pasting few interesting links, within this trajectory of loyalty/dedication.

Fear

    The word 'fear', simply summaries a statement 'For enduring and reacting'. It can be a word, to sustain/abstain, from any given situation/circumstance.  The choice/challenge is to pick between these two rapidly evolving variables....'A' Well formed mind Vs Well informed mind....within our evolving era, to have blossomed out of hunter gatherers/industrial revolutions/information technologies/informatics revolutions.
    An individual, groomed/exposed to spirituality, has a higher chance to overcome the fear associated with adversities/uncertainties, within their lives being reenforced with discipline/purpose derived out of their faithful life. To be reminded of gratitude-blessings/purpose-objectives, within our lives, to be explored/developed. With the refreshing manra, worth remembering/revisiting.. that 'It's always in giving, that we receive'. A path , very often leads to an explored destination....but, as reassured within all the scriptures.."Do not be afraid", is very much relevant, to various circumstancial scenarios as manifested in the past/ relevant to the present/ applicable into the futurE


When challenges, are taken up as opportunities, it becomes a possibility. Else it’s ignorance amplified onto itself.

     'Judgement under, stringent,  temperamentally induced, circumstantial evidences'....is Justice within a nut shell. Justice is being seeked/offered, mainly for criminal/civil acts, when once existence/sustenance is involved/hindered.

     Prioritize empathy and channelize/challenge ego.... is simply the message/meaning to be at peace. Who can be a genuine peacemaker, without being at peace/ease within self? What are the tools/reminders to be at peace....being shared over generations/moulded with experiences? The key to any sustainable peace, is to keep in mind/memory that an obligation always follows an offered commitment for anyone/anything.

    "People do not decide their futures, they decide their habits and their habits decide their futures". The imbibed/inculcated habits, to blossom out as culture/attitudes. What are the probable basic keys, to the locks, within our venter into peacefulness/awareness? "Humility against pride, Kindness against envy, Abstinence against gluttony,Chastity against lust, Patience against anger, Liberality against greed, Diligence against sloth". Within our adventure called life, worth remembering these words..“Love is an untamed force. When we try to control it, it destroys us. When we try to imprison it, it enslaves us. When we try to understand it, it leaves us feeling lost and confused.”

Pasting/Sharing within, few inSightful lessons/tips! ..

"One day a rich man gave a basket full of rotten food to a poor man.The poor man smiled and left the palace with the basket, emptied the basket of it's content and cleaned it. Put beautiful flowers in it and returned it to the palace and gave it to the rich man. The rich man was surprised and asked the poor man, "Why "?" I gave you a basket full of rotten things and you bring it back filled with beautiful flowers. The poor man replied.. Every human being gives what is in their heart. What is inside you is what you give out."

"In Ancient Greece, Socrates had a great reputation of wisdom. One day, someone came to find the great philosopher and said to him:
- Do you know what I just heard about your friend?
- A moment, replied Socrates. Before you tell me, I would like to test you the three sieves.
- The three sieves?
- Yes, continued Socrates. Before telling anything about the others, it's good to take the time to filter what you mean. I call it the test of the three sieves. The first sieve is the TRUTH. Have you checked if what you're going to tell me is true?
- No, I just heard it.
- Very good! So, you don't know if it's true. We continue with the second sieve, that of KINDNESS. What you want to tell me about my friend, is it good?
- Oh, no! On the contrary.
- So, questioned Socrates, you want to tell me bad things about him and you're not even sure they're true? Maybe you can still pass the test of the third sieve, that of UTILITY. Is it useful that I know what you're going to tell me about this friend?
- No, really.
- So, concluded Socrates, what you were going to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor useful. Why, then, did you want to tell me this?
"Gossip is a bad thing. In the beginning it may seem enjoyable and fun, but in the end, it fills our hearts with bitterness and poisons us, too!"

Sir

     A title, bestowed upon an individual to honor an attribution/contribution, towards the collection of events/individuals, is a word Sir. Reminding the individual, presumably not to be Stupid, Idiotic, Rascal. What qualities, should/does the bestower own/possess, to bestow upon to the receiver? Never the less, when Saints are being venerated, its to highlight their spirited commitment/contribution, towards a virtue they have focused upon, exemplified within their limited life time/span.. if 'Love'.. living on virtuous endeavors,  was their ethos/inspiration. Thus, to have highlighted, the virtues of  courage/compassion/forgiveness/humility, within its totality. So would, a Saint mean 'Sanctifying an identity, not temptation' at largE

Spirit

Any living organism, would have a body, with an emotion, kindled with a spirit. The most evolved of its kind, to introspect/retrospect beyond its limitations/possibilities. To, holistically/spiritually.. come up with words such as perseverance for probabilities, for a better life after /liberation. Would Spirit then mean 'Sanctifying/ Solidifying, power, in radiating, its truth'. The saying goes, 'Everything is fair in love and war', to have omitted a  crucial sentence after that is....for the ignorant.   To be, completed holistically as.. ' Everything is fair in love and war, for the ignorant. The literal manifestation/implication, of the word spirit, is to elevate/rise, the level of once consciousness to the next platform. To summaries, the essence of every understanding/undertaking....'Ask you will receive,Seek you will find, Knock and the door will be opened to you'....thus, Patience is a virtue and arrogance is a cultivated art..to nurture/cultivate, what 'Spirit', within self/other, is a classic optic/inSightful choice..to have sprung out of the five sensual point of perceptions, we know/call it  as the sense of sight/smell/taste/touch/noice..to have evolved out of the basic five elements of nature called.. light/water/air/earth/space to our current, circumstantially sparked  moment within a quantum known as the time.

The twelve clock coordinates, as  given by a spiritual guide/teacher to his listeners on  spiritual maturity.

"1. It's when we stop trying to change others and focus on changing ourselves.
2. It is when we accept people as they are.
3. It is when we understand that everyone is correct according to their own perspective.
4. It is when we learn to “let go”.
5. It is when we are able to not have "expectations" in a relationship, and we give of ourselves for the pleasure of giving.
6. It is when we understand that what we do, we do for our own peace.
7. It's when we stop showing the world how smart we are.
8. It's when we stop seeking approval from others.
9. It's when we stop comparing ourselves to others.
10. It is when we are at peace with ourselves.
11. It is when we are able to distinguish between "need" and "want" and we are able to let go of that want.
12. Spiritual maturity is gained when we stop attaching "happiness" to material things!"

Pasting within.."Thanking everyone, for your kind thoughts..on his fourth anniversary.

My father, was a struggling verbal orator/communicator..probably thinking, why to express out something, not so sure /experienced about, and thus create disharmony/ guide some one, into making unFavorable/hasty decisions..be personal/financial. Thus maintaining his silence/isolation, from many opportunities / circumstances.
He provided earnestly/prudently, to his extended / own family members. Today, personally can't recollect/remember him asking , anything back in return..noThing. For instance, after repeated / annoying attempts, he may/would say, 'enal enthu anual kunduva'..(bring what ever, you think deemed). Saw a tinkle in his eyes, when we purchased Chivas Regal. He was not materialistic, in / by inherent nature..what ever, we built/purchased, be a smart phone/watch/dress/luxurious additions..he accepted/admired them gracefully. Felt very often, than one or thousand had the same value. Recollecting of/on his daily rituals..can’t think of him, without earnestly enjoying his well lubricated, daily shower ritual / Wearing well ironed clothes..always wondered..why he had to iron his pocket towels/undergarments. His closet, was a delightful place to peak into. He managed his accounts meticulously, with clarity, as to what is where/how much.
He enjoyed privately, to be engaged /attached with the mud/ mother nature. Thus, very often, ended up producing more Chenas(Elephant foot Yam)/Kachil(White Yam)/Chembu(Toaros)/Varazha kulas(Banana planters)…. and had no clue, what to do with it after. Was generous in sharing it with anyone, who turned up during the seasons, without a second taught/hesitation. Have only noticed it lately, that he was generous with birds/creatures who came to feast on them….Can’t remember, to see his temper being lost to such loses. Was over all gentle, with creation in general….can’t think of an occasion, to witness him personally, aggressively chasing away / killing a snake / rat for that matter. He loved /cherished fishing ….saw his delightful sportsmanship, within this craft….probably linked to his fishing expeditions, from his childhood days.
Never advised me on anyThing/anyOne….can’t remember of any specific philosophical conversation with my father. During the last decade of his life, he went daily to the church and closed his eyes, surrendering to the wisdom of the almighty.
He to my underStanding/underTaking, has probably, thus silently reminded/led the seekers, to prob into two words.. unConditional/nonJudgmental, a bit more deeper/wider, which he attempted within his own limitations. Departed, with a lesson, that actions done on time, speaks volumes to words written/spoken towards self/other."

Family

     The most highlighted/promoted, sentence on the word 'Family' is.... 'Father and mother I love you'. When holistically celebrated/outlined, should this symbiotic relationship mean....'For a matrimonially inspired, lifestyle yearning.' The means/values employed, will manifest out as its fruits/outcomes at large.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YhjJO7iPKlQ (The wisdom of the wish, is revealed with ages/time.  How it hurts/molds, the individuals, made royal….physically/emotionally….when gifted, to be entitled /privileged. Is it an obliged into/bestowed upon….Curse/Blessing? 1 Samuel 8:10-22)

When and where, the old ways of understandings/undertakings, is being polished/rebranded, to offer the same spirit/wine under a new label/bottle.
