Soliloquy 5

O my mind! Many people ask what is meditation. Is it simply regularised breathing or closing your eyes in a dark silent place or is it actually the practice of concentrated focus? It is all this and nothing of this sort at the same time. Can you sit in quiet and be quiet? Can you sit at peace and be at peace? Can it be forced by making the outer environment different? Can you focus and relax by chanting or listening to something? What will happen after the period of meditation? What is real meditation? Can it be done without silence, without darkness, without forced focussing on your thoughts? Can your clear your mind during meditation? What about your state of mind after that? Can you concentrate on clearing your negative thoughts? Is it humanely possible to force your mind to clear the thoughts with the goal of relaxing and calming yourself? Does an hour of forced relaxation make you a better person? What about your life beyond that?
Meditation is not all that which you think. Playing your favorite game can also clear your thoughts; spending time with small children can give you energy; creating something can bring positivity. The most important thing is to strive harder to become a better human being in life which will relax and calm yourself for a longer period of time. So, try to know yourself better; try to discover your strengths and weaknesses; work on them; find the meaning of life; don't get entangled into the vicious circle of happiness and sadness; try to find the centre, the state of Bliss and live your life. Love yourself and let yourself live.

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 posit...

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 h...

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 m...
