The truth!!

Ah, beloved soul, there comes a moment in every heart’s journey when truth longs to be spoken, yet the lips hesitate, trembling like a leaf in the breeze.

A gentle fear wraps itself around the mind—whether it is revealing a moment, expressing a thought, or admitting a mistake. The heart falters, caught in the web of doubt. We wonder, will our words bring understanding or hurt? Will they heal or wound? And so, we choose silence, believing it to be the safer path.

But tell me, dear one, is this truly the essence of truth?

No.

What we call truth is often but a mere fact—a reflection of what has been, spoken as it is.

Such a simple thing, and yet, even this can stir hesitation within. Why? Because we fear that our words may ripple across another’s heart, causing sorrow. This fear holds back our voice like a river bound by its banks, afraid to flow freely.

So, what then is true truth? Have we ever truly paused to embrace its meaning?

When a soul, despite the weight of uncertainty, chooses to speak, it does not just utter words—it embraces courage, it welcomes freedom. Truth is not just about speaking facts but doing so with love, with compassion, with the intent to uplift rather than wound. For in truth, dear heart, fearlessness and truth are but two names of the same divine song. And tell me, does courage wait for the right moment, or does it shine in all moments, like the eternal light of the stars?

So, will you choose to welcome truth with love and grace at every step? Will you allow your words to be both honest and kind, both fearless and gentle?

Close your eyes, let your heart listen, and you shall find—the answer already rests within you, waiting to be embraced. Hare Krishna!!

expectation!!

Ah, dear soul, the essence of all human relationships seems to rest upon expectation.

What kind of husband should he be to fill my heart with love and comfort? What kind of wife should she be, always devoted, always tender in her care? What kind of children should they be, gentle, obedient, and ever reverent?

And so, the heart clings to those who fulfill its longings, who mirror its deepest desires.

But tell me, beloved, is expectation not like a fleeting shadow on still waters—always near, yet never truly grasped? It is born within the quiet chambers of the mind, yet the other remains unaware. Even with the sincerest heart, can one ever truly fulfill what has never been spoken?

From this silent yearning, conflict takes root, and soon, relationships, once woven with love, become tangled in sorrow.

But if, instead of expectation, we embrace acceptance, if we cherish love as it is rather than as we wish it to be, would not life bloom with boundless joy and serenity? Close your eyes, dear one, and listen—does your heart not whisper that this is the path to true peace? Hare Krishna!!

what is Fear??!!

Ah, dear heart, within you lies a vast kingdom of fear, ever-changing like the waves of the ocean. Sometimes, you fear losing what you cherish; other times, you tremble at the thought of disgrace or the pain of separation. Slowly, fear becomes a familiar companion, and we begin to believe it is an unshakable truth of life.

But have you ever sat in stillness and listened to the whispers of your soul? The very places where fear takes root are the same places where sadness lingers. Yet, tell me, who has bound fear and sorrow together? Are they not but illusions we hold close? As long as we embrace fear, sadness will never loosen its grip. Fear, my beloved, is but a shadow of the mind, an illusion of future sorrow that does not truly exist.

If we awaken to the truth that fear is only a creation of our thoughts, is it truly so difficult to break free and step into the light of fearlessness? Think about this, dear one, for when the heart lets go of fear, it finds the path to boundless joy and serenity. True freedom lies not in escaping fear but in understanding it, embracing courage, and trusting the divine rhythm of life. Let your heart be light, for you are meant to walk in love, not in fear. Hare Krishna!!

taking the decision!!

Ah, dear loved one, in the journey of life, we often turn to others for guidance, letting their voices shape our choices. But tell me, if the seeds of our future are planted in the soil of today’s decisions, should we not tend to them with our own hands? Are our choices truly ours, or merely echoes of another’s wisdom? Have you ever sat in stillness and pondered this?

Just as the same river appears different to the thirsty traveler and the playful child, so too do hearts perceive moments in their own way. A devotee, filled with love, places an offering in the temple’s donation box, while a thief watches with longing eyes. A heart filled with purity finds its way to light, while one clouded by desire may stumble into shadows.

True joy blossoms from wisdom that flows from a heart filled with sincerity and devotion. To receive such wisdom, we must bring harmony between our inner and outer selves. So, before allowing the world’s voices to lead us, should we not first cleanse our own hearts, so that our choices are born of truth and love make us happy? Sit with this thought, my dear, and let your heart whisper the answer to you. Hare Krishna!!

Decision time!!

Dear one, life is a beautiful dance of choices. With every step, we shape our path, and each decision leaves its gentle fragrance on time.

The choices we make today weave the joy or sorrow of tomorrow—not just for ourselves but for those we love and those yet to come. When challenges arise, our hearts may tremble with doubt. In those moments, choosing our way forward can feel like stepping into a storm, where emotions swirl like restless winds. But tell me, dear soul, can one truly taste the sweetness of fruit while running? Obviously the answer is a big NO, for its flavor is best enjoyed in stillness.

So, can a restless heart truly find the right path? What do you feel?

When we feel peace within and make choices from a calm heart, a future full of harmony unfolds. But when decisions are made in haste, merely to quiet the storm inside, they plant the seeds of sorrow yet to bloom. Is this not so? Do not simply hear my words—let them rest in your heart, and discover the truth within yourself. Hare Krishna!!

Independence in Relationships!!

Ah, dear soul, when two hearts unite, they often weave invisible boundaries, thinking they protect their love. But tell me, have you ever wondered about these walls we build? If we look closely at our relationships, we see how these limitations arise from our own fears and insecurities. And when someone, without knowing, steps beyond these lines, our hearts tremble with anger. But what is the essence of these boundaries? Have you ever paused to think about this?

When we impose such limits, we leave no space for the other soul to breathe and dance freely. We become entangled in our own rigidness, forgetting the beauty of independence that each heart craves. And when we deny another's freedom, their heart feels the weight of sadness, and when they break these walls, our hearts ignite with frustration. Is it not so?

But, my beloved, if we learn to cherish and honor each other's independence, what purpose do these walls serve? If acceptance is the foundation upon which love stands, then is not independence the soul that breathes life into it? So, close your eyes, feel the whisper of this truth in your heart, and let your heart embrace this truth. Hare Krishna!!

acceptance in relationship!!

From the dawn of humanity, a timeless question has lingered in our hearts: How can we nurture boundless happiness and ease the shadows of sadness in our relationships? Do all your relationships truly fill your soul with joy? Have you ever pondered this deeply?

Our lives are woven with the threads of relationships, providing us with comfort, love and security. They are the foundation of our happiness. But why, then, do these same relationships sometimes bring us the deepest sorrow? Why do misunderstandings and conflicts often bloom where love once flourished? Have you ever paused to think about this?

When we resist embracing another's thoughts and choices, seeking instead to change them to our own, conflict takes root. The more we resist, the more discord arises. Yet, the more we embrace and accept, the more love and harmony flow into our lives. Isn't that a beautiful truth?

If we can cultivate patience, nurture a positive heart, and turn our focus inward to transform ourselves instead of seeking to change other person, would happiness in relationship remain elusive? Could it be that true love and deep connection flourish through kindness and acceptance? Take a moment, and let your heart reflect on this gentle wisdom. Hare Krishna!!

Why do I Want What I Want?

Lately, I've been wondering—why do I desire the things I do? Is it really me who wants them, or have I just been influenced by the world around me? Whether it’s a new gadget, a particular lifestyle, or even the kind of relationships I seek, I can’t help but question where these wants are coming from.

Every day, I’m bombarded with messages—social media, advertisements, conversations, trends. It’s as if the world is constantly telling me what I should value. And the more I think about it, the more I realize how much these influences shape my desires. Do I actually want this, or have I been conditioned to believe I do?

So, I’ve started to step back and ask myself: “Is this really what I want?” It’s not an easy question to answer. Sometimes, I realize I’ve been chasing things just because they seemed appealing from the outside. But when I really sit with my thoughts, I begin to see the difference between what feels authentic to me and what’s just a reflection of the world’s expectations.

The more I explore, the more I learn about myself. I try new things, engage in deeper conversations, and expose myself to different perspectives. It’s a process of trial and error, but every step brings me closer to understanding what truly matters to me.

At the end of the day, I just want to align my desires with who I really am. The world will always try to influence me, but I get to decide which influences to embrace and which to let go. And maybe, just maybe, by questioning my wants, I’ll find something even more meaningful than what I originally thought I needed.

So, next time I catch myself wanting something, I’ll take a pause and ask: “Is this truly what I desire, or is it just a reflection of the world around me?” The answer might surprise me. Cheers!!

“No One Dies Without Anyone”

We broke apart, so many times before,

But this time, the cracks feel deeper, more sure.

Yes, we held on, with a hug, with a kiss,

Yet her words lingered, a cold abyss.

“No one dies without anyone, right?”

Her message cuts sharper than the darkest night.

My dear, her voice seemed to softly say,

“Time will heal, it will take us away.”

Forget me, she pleads, with quiet grace,

A love now fading, leaving no trace.

Yet echoes of her linger in my soul,

A heart once whole, now no longer whole.

Take care of yourself, her final request,

A bittersweet note, a hollowed bequest.

And though I ache, I’ll try to abide,

Letting her go with the turning tide.

No one dies without anyone, it’s true,

But living without her feels something new.

Time will heal, or so they all say,

Yet I miss her more with every day.

that story!!

That story begins with - Once upon a time, there was a boy who dreamed of changing the world. He believed he could make a difference by using his talents—writing, photography, music, movies, philosophy, love and kindness—to inspire others. As a teenager, he was passionate about solving big problems like hunger, inequality, sadness, and freedom. He would spend hours thinking and planning ways to make these changes happen. Little by little, he took steps forward. It wasn’t easy, and progress often felt frustratingly slow. Then one day, after years of effort, something clicked. He finally found a spark of success that reignited his passion. However, it had taken him years of hard work and determination to get there. By this time, he was no longer the same dreaming teenager. As he grew older, life brought new challenges and responsibilities that required his attention.

He worked hard to meet those responsibilities, helping others and solving everyday problems. When he had free time, he still returned to the things he loved—creating, writing, and dreaming. But as the years passed, the big dream of his youth started to fade into the background. It wasn’t that he gave up; life simply took him in a different direction, one full of new demands and unexpected turns. Years went by, and one day he stopped to think about how far he had come. He looked at the world around him and realized it wasn’t the world he had dreamed of changing. Instead, it was his own personal world that had transformed. It had become something extraordinary, something he never imagined, but also something he couldn’t fully control. His teenage dreams felt distant now, like a faint echo, but they had shaped the person he had become.

In those quiet moments of reflection, he felt a mix of sadness and pride. He missed the hopeful, fearless teenager he once was, the boy who believed anything was possible. At the same time, he could see the beauty in the life he had built, even if it wasn’t what he had planned. Life had tested him. It had hurt him, challenged him, and pushed him to his limits. But through those hardships, life also shaped him into someone stronger, someone capable of standing tall in the face of adversity. Even though his journey was tough, it made him who he was.

That boy, now grown, came to a powerful realization: the dreams of his youth were not wasted, even if they hadn’t been fully achieved. The journey itself was his greatest triumph. Every lesson, every moment of impact, every step forward—even through failure—was a testament to his resilience. Though he couldn’t rewrite the past, he could embrace it. His dreams, shaped by time and tempered by reality, were still alive, guiding him forward with a strength forged in struggle.

And that boy is me!! So Cheers!!
