The significance of my new Tattoo (The Importance of being a Mortal)

So before the new year starts I got my third Tattoo… ‘മർത്ത്യൻ’ which is a malayalam word and reads ‘Marthyan’. The literal meaning of ‘Marthyan’ is ‘Mortal’ and the antonym being ‘Amarthyan’ or ‘Immortal’. ‘Marthyan’ is also used in malayalam language to suggest ‘Human being’ Why മർത്ത്യൻ? First ‘മർത്ത്യൻ’ is my pen name when I write in malayalam, my mother tongue; Second I feel that it would be … Continue reading The significance of my new Tattoo (The Importance of being a Mortal)

Is there something called ‘the Meaning to Life’?

One of the interesting reasonz people give for the existence of religion is that it gives ‘meaning to life’ for many… I would agree that for many something outside religion can appear totally meaningless… and that is because they have not really tried to look outside religion… the possibility of life without religion, without God has not been explored, that is all…. the possibilities are … Continue reading Is there something called ‘the Meaning to Life’?

Godmen, Godwomen and other Sidekicks to God

It is sad to note how much people get fooled by those who claim to change things around by moving a few stones or drawing a few columns and by claiming to read the movement of stars and planets that they say constitute your destiny. Yes I am talking of the con artists who come out and take advantage of vulnerable good individuals, trapping them … Continue reading Godmen, Godwomen and other Sidekicks to God

Jiddu, Gurdjeiff, Awareness, Waking Sleep and some thoughts

Once Jiddu Krishnamurti was traveling in a car and Pupul jayakar and another eminent personality (whose name fails my brain now) were sitting in the back seat discussing the true meaning of awareness and conscious…and the discussion got heated with both of them opening up their knowledge boxes in response to the other. Both of them were influenced a lot by Jiddu (Pupul even wrote … Continue reading Jiddu, Gurdjeiff, Awareness, Waking Sleep and some thoughts

Between Love and Hate there is a thin line of indifference

Though I would love to believe it is thin, I think it is more like a vast space where each and every one of us falls in at various instances in life. There are things, situations and people we love and there are those that we love to hate, but in between there are also a lot many items to which we are quite indifferent. … Continue reading Between Love and Hate there is a thin line of indifference

You need to free your mind to understand what others are trying to convey

The world we see is a perception of what we think the world is. Same goes with what people say and what we take the meaning as. Our life is always a hit and miss of what we perceive a person wished to convey through their words or actions. At times we are so sure about our perception and go forward with that until we … Continue reading You need to free your mind to understand what others are trying to convey

Goodness is the only investment that never fails

We don’t have to always be told what is good or bad, as we grow up we have a broad understanding of this. The importance is to be reminded of it quite often. Man has the habit of creating a new definition of goodness to suit his needs and this reminder is a potential check to see that he is good. The history of man … Continue reading Goodness is the only investment that never fails

Shed the weights that makes your mind heavy

I have written before about “doing nothing” and though it sounds simple, I have also figured that it is so tough to do nothing. And by doing nothing I mean both physical and mental. Our minds and thoughts are in constant motion even when we are still. No, meditation is still not my cup of tea, I feel that world over people are following a … Continue reading Shed the weights that makes your mind heavy

The moment you are born, you prepare to face your death; that’s the truth

Yesterday something dawned on me; how can something that is a creation of yourself become the higher consciousness that one is searching for. Creating a thought and building it to be what you have been searching for you can always find and get enlightened. So my theory of two selves can go baseless if the internal self becomes a creation of the external self. So … Continue reading The moment you are born, you prepare to face your death; that’s the truth
