So many lives have lived in one,
Beyond comprehension his ways have become.
The sweetness of existence setting in bit by bit,
The illusion of this urgency felt at moments.
Slow down the pace, nowhere to go, no race to win,
There is nothing to achieve, simply to live is all,
The madness of this mind, the games it plays too hard to fathom.
In letting go the key exists,
He wants to take care but the reigns hard to hand his way.
What beauty, what peace, it all lies within,
That single moment, that single realization, the whole creation is within.

A few days ago, my friend made a very interesting remark. We were travelling somewhere together in the car. Having met after almost 6 months we both had alot to share about our lives, our thoughts, our feelings. I just feel talk is so useless now, but I think shes one of the few people i do still indulge in conversation with.

She was a consultant with a company in Ireland for almost 20 years, travelled extensively, earned millions, left everything, and has moved to the ashram where she teaches children full time. She's one of those people who is filled with passion and love for things around her, yet isn't afraid to live life to the fullest. As we were talking all seriously about things, she said to me - "Shivani, how does it matter what you do anyways, its all time pass!" We both laughed hysterically at the rashness yet underlying truth the comment held. If you ever made this comment to one of those "serious" people they would say youve spoken blasphemy! Because isn't it all about their business or what they're doing for the society or their children, how can you ever call their life which is so important a time pass for crying out loud. But the beauty of it lies in the fact that you can live your life to the fullest, given all you have to each moment you are here, totally involved with whatever work youre doing and loving it with all your heart.......yet knowing that in the end it really doesnt matter at all.
