The way out ..10th July 2024

The clues lie there, to drive away the blues

That seek to occupy all the space

No one else can, you alone must face

Silentium est aureum, in the long run

You'll find peace, and your struggles will be done

Finally, who's the winner? Silence, of course

For in stillness, we find our greatest force.

Resilience ....

In my garden, I found several broken stone pieces scattered, each bearing its unique shape and form. Among these stones, one caught my attention. I had recently come across a quotation online that resonated deeply with me: "In the end, we all become stories." This thought lingered, compelling me to consider how each life, if understood and articulated well, could indeed be a compelling story. I often found that my shared experiences didn’t always elicit the response I hoped for, while gossip about me seemed far more intriguing. Inspired, I decided to transform the stone into a keepsake bearing the profound quote. After cleaning it meticulously, I used liquid paint to inscribe the words. My vision was to frame this stone in a unique yet economical way. Fortunately, I found a carpenter willing to take on this unusual task. I even bundled in a few other odd jobs for him. However, when the job was completed, my excitement turned to disappointment. While fixing the stone into the ...

Tale of two observers ...31st July 2024 ( Chaganti garu's timeless tale, retold by me)

 Tale of two observers A learned man, devoted to teaching his students, lived opposite a prostitute's residence. He would often observe her clients and ponder her perceived debased life. Meanwhile, the lady would secretly watch the scholar's spiritual pursuits and noble teachings. The story raises a profound question: who is truly cultivating noble thoughts and nurturing their soul - the learned man, despite his fascination with the prostitute's life, or the prostitute herself, who observes and perhaps aspires to the scholar's spiritual path? This story highlights the importance of looking beyond surface-level appearances and judgments, and instead, focusing on one's own actions and intentions. It encourages self-reflection and challenges us to reevaluate our assumptions about others.  (From a story shared by Chaganti Koteswara rao garu)

Friendship day

On Friendship Day, we remember the transformative bond between Krishna and Kuchela. One, a majestic prince, embodied the universe of love, radiating warmth and confidence like a shining sun. His presence was a beacon of hope, illuminating the path for those around him. The other, a humble devotee, carried a world of deep-seated sorrow, his heart heavy with the burdens of poverty and self-doubt. His eyes, once bright, had dimmed with the uncertainty of his own worth, like a flame flickering in the wind. Yet, in this unlikely friendship, we see the power of love and acceptance bridging the chasm between two worlds. Krishna's unwavering confidence and compassion enveloped Kuchela, embracing his frailties and fears, while Kuchela's vulnerability and devotion touched Krishna's heart, reminding him of the beauty of humility. In this sacred encounter, we find a reflection of our own struggles and the transformative potential of friendship, where love and acceptance can...
