addressing with heart

PRANAM, NAMASKAR, NAMASTEY, RAAM RAAM should not be a matter of just words, coming out involuntary, by force of habit, like a parrot talk, without the weight or depth implied in their meaning, but must go enriched with fullest bhaava , 

when one says naman to any one , he must really mean that he is saluting the divinity that he is seeing in him , if not better say hi, hello, and be just casual 

greetings have become meaningless, a pep talk, every one using them as often, as freely, as recklessly, as we just chat for time pass 

i recall one of my mentors, who was using every word with so much care and consideration that when i hear, i see the truth of that words really coming to my heart 
he never does any talk without impregnating every word of it with such clear authenticity that he really means 100 percent of what he says 

a pooja must not be a routine, must not become habit , a just any other activity

talk , even if it is Veda, it must not be a mere repetition, but must be delivered enriching with the true content 

a bhajan, a keerthan , may have its value, but real value of it is received or delivered only when it is done with heart .

so what ever words / greeting i may use those words are no real unless i mean them really , and not used by habit 

in such case, i better avoid such superlatives and just be plain 
i will not be inspired to use such words just for each and every bit of casual conversation

i like to address all to their souls , not the name, form 

soul can be addressed by any word of honor and reverence, like sir, madam, shri, prabhu, your holiness, swami, guruji, mathaji, divinity, bandhu, friend, atman, lord, 

addressing by name yes, is ok for all other formal or informal , other than spiritual, 
i hope this reasoning will be accepted 

for my gurus, and in sathsangs i never address by name , this is the culture i was brought up with 

here it is always a transaction on spiritual plane , It's a matter of vaak shudhi, one of the three thrikaran shudhi , and vaak must be used with utmost 
care, if done in the right way , it goes loaded with tremendous power

we greet only once when we meet first time, and then we are just friends, not needing to say every time any greetings.
.
i never say namasthe to my mother father brother sister friends relatives

the love and regard stand proved by actions , not by words , even sweet words, even devotional words 

some times it is just distraction, a time waster exchange of pleasantries, bordering on sycophancy, artificiality, since it has become a routine habit meaning nothing 

athi vinayam dhoortha lakshanam 

excessive humility is a sign of the wicked

so better i come direct to the point , without referring the names also, 
as , it is clear on the board of st who replies to whom

  

Black suggests 

1… mystery, secrete, hiding things, unknown, so, charming, evokes fear, suspicion, curiosity, it is beauty, it is no beauty 

2…it is a thick black curtain, hiding the light inside, veil of ignorance 

3… universe is full of   darkness, infinite emptiness, ……light somewhere is incidental 

4…a remote dark cave, may be some one is doing tapasya 

5…night, peace, deep sleep

  

Criticism is a great help and responsibility
it is a help from guru that dwells inside self and inside others 

Do not be afraid, 
be frank to give or to receive 

Judge and be judged to get feedback for self correction towards improvement
and 
to give feedback to others for their correction for their improvement

  

Read more and more------this is the greatest mistake, educated persons do

instead -----write more and more
in every writing you are reading your inner-book more and more
and as you write, you discover more authentic truths from inside,

 far more profound and useful than found in the books 
you will thus be able to update the book knowledge and your written books will become better books than existing books .
and your education is meant for it, and thus it becomes fulfilled .
meditation helps to write creatively , not the reading of books

  

Human is a guru and is a shishya simultaneously

the para aspect ie is chethana, is internal the guru

and apara aspect ie body mind intellect, budhi, is the shishya aspect

the teaching and learning , ie the giving and receiving of silence is continuously happening in human personality

the para, chethana is the guru aspect, it is always young, nitya yavvana ,unchanging , non aging, non dyeing hence ''guror yuva''

the apara aspect is he visible form, body organs , mind, all are the shishya aspect , are anitya, changing, aging, dyeing, hence ''vrudha shishya ''

the essential teaching and learning is the sharing of internal silence

the silence that is existing and flowing from ages thru ages in the form of traditions"

 

A long as one is human being,
however saintly one is,
one is not free from being Hippocratic,
it's the nature of mind , with its limitations
of not comprehending the absolute truth, of one’s own existence,
and hence inability to comprehend that of others .
leading to wayward tendencies and actions

Any attempt to conceal is hypocrisy, dishonesty, is artificial ----------can be seen thru
 

shining boots and coats and ties alone no indication of civilized character

nor the saintly robes, maala, vibhoothi , nor the long hair and unshaven beard 

 

which is the best art?
how ??

rishi cognizes
Artist sees life, draws a meaning,
cognizes an idea from within .

gets inspired to express
he chooses a medium that is most suitable

it can be speech song drawing painting
sculpture, photo video drama dance theater movie

he creates a piece of art
he wants to create the best like the one of god's creation

with multidimensional multicolored multi fragranced,
pleasing to touch taste see smell hear, bubbling with life

goes further searching the better and better media and reaches nearer himself to his body mind

and penetrates deeper in search of
still better material still better medium

and ultimately he discovers his deepest
the pure consciousness, the best and ultimate medium and material

and starts creating , he is now brahma ,one with the creator
he wills and creation happens
