In Those Eyes

They watched silently as I journeyed along,

Dust to dust, song to different song,

They watched me climb, they watched me fall,

They watched as I frolicked, oblivious to their call.

Star struck and enamored by the glittering play,

I halted at many trivial haunts along the way.

I preened and put on my best,

Hungry for laughter, prizes and jest.

Even when dissatisfied and dejected I slept forlorn,

Those eyes silently gazed on.

Now at last when I finally see,

Those faithful eyes that never stopped watching over me,

I care not whether I am called foolish or wise,

I rest enveloped in the supreme prize,

The peace of knowing that I am beautiful in those eyes.

Beyond Thy Gifts

What use will all the praise and applause be, If He who I yearn for I can no longer see. What joy can achievement and acclaim bring, If the tongue can spew wonders but the heart can no longer sing. In the outer changing spaces of shadow and light, Where will I find thy loving delight? O Ancient of the Worlds who silently lifts, Give to me thy self beyond thy gifts. - Anahita Sanjana (India)

Inspirations from Mother’s Voice

It is a wonderful thing that we have recordings of Mother’s voice spanning many years on a wide variety of topics such as messages, conversations, readings, and instructions. Of these what I listen to regularly are The Agenda  and the Playground talks. It is part of my morning routine to listen to each of them for a few minutes. And as both The Agenda  and Playground talks are only in French, it requires me to follow along reading the French editions of these. Although my French is good, to get the full benefit and completely understand what Mother is saying, I have the book alongside. I find the time spent listening to Mother to be quite uplifting. Because it is in French, I have to listen more closely or I miss the words. As a result, my mind becomes attentive, focused and still. And as I listen to Mother, the words in the book become alive with the added quality of her presence and personality. It is like listening to a person tell me something rather than just reading a te...

Mental Assumptions in Relationships

Relationships. This seems to be the favourite area to work upon in young people. Relationship with family – especially the parents and siblings, with friends and more and more with that one special friend who acquires a special meaning as one enters the teenage years. Meeting young people, working with them, I am again and again asked for ways to work on one’s relationships. Here are some thoughts based on self-observation – simple things that can impact any relationship in a big way...... Mental Assumptions I had some work with a colleague. She said we will do it on Saturday when she comes to the office. Saturday morning – no sign of the colleague. My angst rising by the minute. “Why is she so irresponsible? She is just not interested in the work. Always tries to make things difficult for me. Why did she have to say that we will do it on Saturday?” Hold on! Did she give a particular time? No. Then why did I assume one? Why did I imagine that she will come for the morning meditation an...
