Often I find myself lost in thoughts of someone very close and dear to every pore of my being. There is a sort of yearning, an in-explicit, almost impossible to describe feeling of void, a longing that could kill one completely without really dying.... Why is it that when one knows you are around and alive in the entire universe, in each bit of it, should one still end up being in solitude...? While driving down a tree laden path, almost cruising through, along with the breezy winds, relishing the simmering sun rays playing hide and seek with the leaves, falling and disappearing, shading the road with different hues, knowing very well that you are existing every moment in each bit, yet where does the desire to be with you arise again and again... While running little errands and daily chores, with or without you, a stilled emptiness full of bliss persists somewhere deep in the deepest inner realms, yet a hidden wish to serve thy creation even more keeps me dazed...! When you k...
You belong to me as much as God belongs to you, says Sri Sri in me Dated especially for: 14th February, 2003 Originally, I wrote this as poetry on 9th for Valentines’ day thinking newspapers would print it but nothing happened. Today while attempting to sing it aloud, yet another miracle took place, words caught fire; became profound and magical, melody flew uninterrupted and poetry kind of evolved into a Symphony! Guruji I am sure you listened me sing it again and again till my eyes swelled with tears last night.

Ah that glance into my eyes, Opens my mind, makes me shine! Letting me BE, making me LOVED, Sweetheart mine, tuning me fine! Drawing me out, tapping me in, Springs of love, turned divine! Endless gaze, into the skies, Deep in my soul, is your shrine! So-called friends, all gone by now...
Many a times, I have been asked this question by friends, people who are still not on the spiritual path, or those who are attending art of living training programs I conduct. They are always curious and intrigued to find out what it is that makes people come onto the path. Most usual concept is that something must have gone wrong, something that shook one away from the regular way of life, forced one to shun to face challenges of daily life and adapt to a more peaceful solace seeking, solitude filled, lonesome journey. While many a scriptures, experiences of numerous leaders who paved a new way devised a innovative method, have described the many reasons that could lead one onto the path, yet the tendency of the mind to cling to negative leads mostly everyone to think of this one reason alone. It all starts with a sincere question though, all scriptures, all major sermons, all revelations in the past from all the revered masters of varying faiths have one thing in co...
