SORATH, NINTH MEHL:
In this world, I have not found any true friend. The whole world is attached to its own pleasures, and when trouble comes, no one is with you. 1 Pause Wives, friends, children and relatives  all are attached to wealth. When they see a poor man, they all forsake his company and run away. 1 So what should I say to this crazy mind, which is affectionately attached to them? The Lord is the Master of the meek, the Destroyer of all fears, and I have forgotten to praise Him. 2 Like a dogs tail, which will never straighten out, the mind will not change, no matter how many things are tried. Says Nanak, please, Lord, uphold the honor of Your innate nature; I chant Your Name. 3 9
Tuesday, 17th Katak (Samvat 538 Nanakshahi)


These words are a direct english translation from the Guru Granth Sahib Hukumnama at the Golden Temple. I have often wandered in search of the truth. Have agrued endlessly whether truth is more powerful or love. I was a fool...

The two are not separate from each other. Love is the truth and Truth is Love. Both entwine to be present in the mere whisper of the name of Lord himself. The reality of life, the truth is that true love is not by attachment, for the mind is attached to wordly possessions. True love is opening your heart to all alike...touching each person, each living being...with true compassion and care.

In this true compassion and care, I find myself like the almighty...for God is not separate from you and me. With each good deed he surfaces and when we deviate from our paths..he waits patiently till we hit upon realisation and become our true nature again.

The vastness of the sea is overwhelming. I sat there staring at violent waves that calmed down as the caressed the shores. I thought to myself, this is the relationship between life and man.

Life like the Sea is so vast, so diverse, so full of energy and abundance. When it touches us it has the ability to mold us into being the people that we are. The gentle waves change the face of the land, causing impressions that make the beauty of the beaches unparalleled. We too as people are moulded by life and we are beautiful because of the experienes we have.

Like the shore that makes itself available to the waves-make yourself available to life. It will never leave you without a lesson.

Open your arms and let the cool breeze blow into your face....

I am often asked what inspires me to write. There are many experiences that have shaped my life. There have been good and bad times. Along with each of the gliches came small bounties that saved me from falling flat on my face and dampening my spirit.

I write for all those people who come into my life, at the time when I least expect any hope and lend me a comforting shoulder. As unlucky as I have been wordly relationships, I have been blessed with wonderful friends who help me to keep my spirits alive.

I hope this deepawali- brings in new hope and light to each of those beautiful lives that brighten me.

A message for all my single friends:

No one whether a current or future mate has any obligation to provide you happiness on a platter. You are responsible for your own happiness and no man will ever come to satisfy the hunger or need.

Just remind yourself- that you are the main course youself whereas your man is the dessert.

So while you wait for the dessert to come by- its good to be on a diet :))
Am not going to credit myself to this one..a very dear friend has some beautiful memories attached with this number.

So dearie this one is for you- for being such a fantastic friend and confidante.


When I find myself in times of trouble, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be.


Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree,
there will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see,
there will be an answer. let it be.
Let it be, let it be, .....


And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me,
shine until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music, mother Mary comes to me,
speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be, .....

Had a long conversation with an ol' friend about how we share the karmic patterns of others. We were trying to deduce a quick and easy way to cut through.

Long ago I had read in one of the Richard Bach books that like every cloud has its journey predecided,we too have our destiny predecided. Every person is there in your life for a reason, you may not see it from where you stand, but there is a bigger plan of which you are a part.

Life may not have taken the desired turns for me, there is a alot that I want to run back to change. Yet again i think- would I be me, if it was not for the events that shaped my personality, I would not be half the woman I am today .When the negative hits I just remind myself: "What does not kill you, makes you a better person."

All the religions of the world have said God exists. I don't know whether he is there or not, but one thing I know: the more contained and calm you become, the more godly you become.

Love what you do and appreciate where you are. Be meditative while you are doing it - be rest assured it one of the best laid plans.

There is a new awakening.
My sorrows have come to an end.

The love that once soared me to boundaries undefined.
Died at the source,giving my stifling heart some respite.

Now skies upon skies are available for my flight.
For now there is no love that possesses-just oneness

I have shifted out of the paradigm and merged with the whole
No man no woman will tear me to pieces again

The dividing priced possession has been smashed.
Today I killed the love in my mind...

I am free to fly-and my ecstasy is boundary less

I am celebrating freedom.....
