Soliloquy 13

O my mind! Do you think you really love? Do you think you know what love is? Can you love with zero expectation? Can you love sans pain, sans suffering? Can you really accept the other whole heartedly? Can you embrace all the imperfections of the other? Can you love without getting attached? Can you love without judgement? Can you love without receiving love? Can you love the abstract form of love without attaching it to any corporeal frame? If the answers to all the above questions are affirmative, you do know what love is. You have achieved the state of bliss, past the state of happiness. You are on your way to perfection, the way to heaven. If the answers to the the above questions are negative, you still need to achieve that state. You should strive hard to reach the goal. Until then, you will never find peace, neither outside nor within yourself as peace and happiness lie deep within yourself.

O mind! Love but dont get attached. Attachment cultivates expectations and expectations beget disappointment. Love sincerely, and wholeheartedly. The moment you start expecting, the essence of love is lost. In other words, love loses its existence. It is quite difficult for human beings to sever the link between love and attachment. But to comprehend and feel love in a real sense, one needs to achieve that state of mind. That state is the state of perfection, the heavenly state. You dont feel sadness, neither excitement. You are in a state of bliss, calm and serene bliss.  To achieve that you just need to accept and not judge. You accept the imperfections to inch towards that perfect state, the imperfections of the other human being. Embrace those and pave way to bliss. Do not crib, do not blame, do not ask. Just love in totality. Let things come to you naturally. Do not sulk if they do not come. Neither force yourself nor others. Enjoy when something is there but do not be heart

Soliloquy 11

O my mind! Why do you judge? Do not judge others or yourself. Observe the world as it is around you. Judgement mars your vision and creates boundaries. It keeps you insulated from the reality. No one is your friend and no one is your enemy. Sharpen your observation, distinguish implicit from explicit. The same thing can be viewed very differently through the lens of judgement and without the lens of judgement. There is nothing mine or yours. There is nothing right or wrong. It all depends on your perspective. Be empathatic towards others as well as yourself. Cross the boundary between self and others. Be aware of everything in the universe - sans rules, sans boundaries, sans judgement. If you keep your past with you, you will not be able to visualise properly. You can not change nature, you can only change the world. Observe, discover, and act accordingly. Your conscience will be your guide. There is neither an end nor a beginning. Life is a flowing process, a process always in motio

Soliloquy 10

O my mind! Why are you seeking  solace in relationships or things? It is nothing but lack of faith in yourself that forces you to cling to outside. Outside is maya . Let go of it and you will be free, you will be liberated. You do not need anyone or anything to be independent. Be content in your own company. Be your own teacher, your own guru . You are the guru , you are the  shishya . You yourself are the best companion for you. You are a part of both a time-bound objective truth and a timeless subjective truth. Your inner world of thoughts is what you are, not the outer world of relationships. Leave the attachments and see inwardly. You will feel the life-energy and get yourself back. Do not lose your 'self' in the outside world. Cling to your own self and experience 'truth.'

Soliloquy 9

O my mind! Why are you feeling dull? The people can never give you happiness. The human relations are illusory. The bonding of human relations is not pure, not real in actual sense because these relations are inherently selfish in nature. They are constantly in need of something. Believe in humanity and all the forms of life as these don’t ask for anything in return. Try to spread love irrespective of the sadness and hopelessness in this world. Contribute as much as you can. You can only find the real happiness by spreading the message of love. This happiness will finally illuminate others and bring your salvation. Don’t be afraid to take risk to spread the mesaage of love. Do it wherever you are; in any way you can. Take care of yourself first. Only then you will be able to take care of other life forms. If you dont have anyone, feel blessed that you have no compulsion, no rule to abide by. Enjoy the freedom from humans. Take the opportunity to explore yourself in a positive way.

Soliloquy 8

O my mind! Why are you so upset about things you cannot control? You can not reciprocate love only because your love has not been reciprocated earlier. You are afraid to love now with the same intensity as you did earlier. You are afraid of failure again. You are afraid of suffering the same pain again and again. You have compelled yourself to be in an insulated surrounding. You have lost yourself. You have forgotten the real you. Find the real you; find yourself to love again. Take risks; live life to its fullest. Don't escape from life; immerse yourself in it. Don't fear life; embrace it; face it; live it; feel it; enjoy it; experience it. Don't hold your tears back; let it flow naturally. It is a part of life; don't evade it. Don’t become the emotion you experience. But feel it with all your strength and never let it control you. You are the not its slave, you are the master - your master.

O my mind! Why are you feeling pain? Why are you feeling this piercing pain? Just because your love was not reciprocated? Just because you could not show your love? Just because your love was not understood? Just because your love was called selfish? Just because your love was called self centred? Just because you were blamed for something you didnt do? Just because you failed once again? Just because you felt hopeless again? Just because you felt helpless again? All these feelings are temporary. Dont let it overpower you. It is natural to feel it but never let it weaken you. Let it make you stronger. Your weaknesses will be your strengths. These will transform you into the real you. Forgive yourself and forget your past. Immerse in your present and feel the happiness that is inside you and let it be felt by each and every one in this universe. It will make you one with the universe and you will be a part as well the whole of it.
