If a flower can do so much…

See how many lives a little flower supports! If a flower can do so much, think of what a tree can do! Plant a tree now! It may seem such a little thing to do, but perhaps it may be the greatest thing you ever do!

Cocoa!

As chocolate is hidden in cocoa, divinity is hidden in man.

Alien is just a Name!

Space has no boundaries. Neither do universes have walls. The mind says, this is I, that is them! My body, his body, my house, his house, my country, foreign country, earthling, alien! The mind divides, multiplies, complicates, confuses, misleads, misdirects itself into believing the one to be the many. There is just one light, shining in darkness, as darkness, as light; but the mind reads it as a multitude of lights. Only one life pulses through consciousness, through all existence. But the mind divides it into infinite lights. Separating the eternal now, into past, present, future, the mind weaves story after story. As storms cannot blow forever, at times, the mind rests, often in deep sleep, and sometimes in restful wakefulness. Awareness awakens and knows, all life is one life, its dream. Earthlings, nor aliens, but children of thought, just oneness! Ever content being!

Plant a Fruit Tree!

All through my life, I have been planting trees, a sweet madness shared by my dear wife, Girija! It means that even in the most persistently heavy rainy season, there is fruit on trees, not just for ourselves, but for all who visit; friends, guests, relatives, and the numerous birds that sing their delight, finding food in the lean months of the year. So even if you have just a tiny space, be it on the ground or a pot space on your balcony or on the terrace, do grow your tree, and glow in joy, as it flourishes and blesses you with fruit, its love!
