If they breath they live….
If they live they feel….
If they feel they love….
If they love they are aware…
If they are aware ..
They have a SOUL….

so to you the substance has become a cheap toy.
Wait until the day when that substance

Then you will see the mountains become as soft as wool,
and this earth of heat and ice b

you will see neither the sky nor the stars,
nor any existence but God – the One, the Living, the Loving.

As the Indian Legend goes;
Whisper a wish to a butterfly,
since a butterfly can make no sound,
the butterfly cannot reveal….
The wish to anyone but the great spirit.
In gratitude for giving the beautiful butterfly its freedom,
The great spirit always grants the wish…
So , according to legend, by making a wish & giving
The butterfly its freedom…
The wish will be taken to the heavens
and
Be Granted…..

As I walked on my way, I realized that it is not only the sun
which can make a day much brighter.
How is it that we deny ourselves an inner sun, shinning through the silent words of
Nature?
Even your inner colors change as the patterns of
your inner self dance to a new rhythm in life.
This must now be part of your daily movement: to recognize, greet, and
listen to all forms of nature, from the lowly moss to the greatest tree.
All share in he one life , all dance to tha same rhythm , all blend
their notes in the song of the universe.
We rejoice, our brother, for soon that song will blend into your pattern of color ,
and the doors of a new and deeper sharing will be thrown wide open…
You listen to the silent song of my
Voice….

is usually associated with the darker side of life….
In religion & art , mystery is light itself …its the life blood that pumps through true religion & artistic practice…….”
“…Mystery is the itch that you can’t Scratch ,
the driving force of spiritual & creative
journeys…”
” Mystery is the seed of
discovery…..
Mystery…
” having a spiritual meaning that is neither apparent to
the senses nor obvious to the intellect .
It is direct subjective communication with ultimate reality…”

Sharing your blissfulness is the only charity.
Sharing your joy is the only gratitude.
Existence has given you too much, share it.
The more you share the more you will have it
The less you share the less you will have it.
If you don’t share it you won’t have it at all.

MUSTH…
” excitement , swiftness, odour, love, passion,
complete florescence of the body, wrath , prowess ,
and fearlessness are declared
to the eight excellences of musth ”
~~~ matangalila
Nilakantha
Makhnas…..are
tuskless male elephants….
During musth the temporal gland
of the male swells and secretes a fluid….
During this period the males seek out and mate with cows.
Musth is sometimes described as
” an instinctive desire in the male elephants to fight and even kill, before mating ”
They are generally
big fellows with powerful trunks….
A big makhna is generally feared
by the members of any herd….
They seem to make up in size
of body & trunk for the lack of tusks &
are generally enormously powerful elephants….
It has been recorded that in the case
of a fight between a good sized tusker & a makhna…
the makhna snapped off one of the tusks of its
opponent with its trunk…
many males in musth also have a continual discharge or
dribble of urine , with damp patches on their hind legs…..

You ask me ,
” can you tell us what is the purpose of creation ? ”
The world has never been created.
It has always been here ,
it is eternal.
There is no creator of the world :
God is not the creator of the world …
god is the
very creative energy of existence —
creativity rather than a creator.
He is not the poet but
the poetry…
Not the dancer
but the dance….

When despair for the world grows in me,
and I wake in the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my children’s lives may be —
I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feed
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought or grief.
I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light
For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
~~ Wendell Berry
Creativity is the Blue Heron within us waiting to fly;

“There are times in life , you can count them in minutes ,
when you experience an awareness far greater than you usually
Find in a whole year “
~~ Dostoevsky
As soon as we started our trip by boat…we sighted a herd of elephants. and started moving towards them immediately..We saw the herd moving towards the jungle…
and went as fast as we could .
We noticed there was one little baby which suddenly decided that it needed to sleep..!!…
We lost our hearts to this baby. the herd had no option but to stay put…&
we spent a glorious 2 hrs with this baby and the herd…..
These are moments…
I counted… and kept counting…
A smell can carry a
meaning..
expressing care….
This IS
love…..
reassurance….
“….like humans , the animal should be permitted to speak its
own emotional language, which is up to the beholder to understand……….”
That low nice
curiosity…
…” to understand animals …it is essential to
understand what they F E E L…..”
