" When life begins to flow, everything comes afloat."

       This poetry is about the hiding flutist in the high mountains: 

     https://voicelesspoetry.blogspot.com/2020/08/hiding-flutist.html

While some Somit is the name behind this blog, the real author is the One in everyone. 

  

Open That Door

Voice : You can do it. Go on. Open the door. Walk…

Me : No. I don’t want to. 

Voice : Don’t want to or 'want to, but it can get uncomfortable' ? 

Me : I am fine here. I am doing good

Voice : I know that. 'I am doing good’ is the usual obstacle to ‘I can be God'.

Me : Damn..

Voice : You know of the strife you had to go through to get to ‘I am doing good’ ? Continue your journey to get to ‘I am God’. Why stop ? Your soul is on the most important phase of your life! Let not the idea of any discomfort, pain or fear stagnate you.   

Me : I am not ready to risk anything now..

Voice : You are a rock climber. So you know exactly how this works. When you are vertical on the rockface with all your 4 limbs balancing on the faintest holds at dizzying heights - how do you make an advance move ? You have to release the comfort of your present grip in order to advance to another one. Many times on the rock wall, you had to let go of the most comfortable and safe spot on the vertical wall in favour of harder, riskier pinch holds that offered no sense of security. 
Staying with secure hand and foot holds will keep you safe, but will also keep you away from the summit. Many times, you have advanced on the vertical rock without a guarantee of safe footing, but you knew this was the only way to make it to the top of the pinnacle. There is no other way. And once you make it to the summit, the feeling inside your heart supersedes all pain, blood, sweat and suffering. 

Me : You are right. But when I am halfway to the top, there is no way I was going down without trying my best to finish the climb. 

Voice : Then why do so now ? You have worked very hard, but you have not finished your climb.  

Me : Maybe because I am just too comfortable right now and it feels ... safe.

Voice : That’s exactly how the entire human race is. You unconsciously place yourself in self-created 'safety-nets’. This illusion of safety and security impedes your own evolution. You work endlessly on creating the delusion of 'safety-nets’ and miss living to your truest potential. Your existence is made to thrive on a belief of a ‘safe' future that you have not seen. You get comfortable to live without challenges. This is where you lose Me. 
It’s natural for our relationship to thrive when you are in rough waters and I am your Guide. That way we create deeper connection and a special companionship. Your love and faith in Divinity grows with doing things that are difficult..sometimes supremely difficult. But, if you choose safety and comfort over living to your highest potential, what role is left for Me to play in your life ?  

Me : Hmm..

Voice : But, since it's inevitable to fulfil the soul’s destiny, things will happen in your life that will appear unprecedented or seem undesirable but it's only to draw your attention to where you need to walk. But if you still choose to resist, the faint nudge turns to a bigger challenge and sometimes into an adversity and eventually you choose to open that door that was always in your sight. You then become who you were always meant to be...yourself. To find Me, you must find yourself, first.   

Me : So, we are our own resistance which invites suffering into our lives.. like we are misleading our ownselves with the pretext of 'being good' ?   

Voice : That does happen when the inner voice is ignored for the dictates of the mind that feeds on limitations, fears, desires, distrust and the false notion of self-preservation. 
Your climbing pursuits taught you through experience that the reward often lied on other side of great fear.

Me : Always and always my worst fears have brought me the greatest growth. I can barely remember having doing anything noteworthy in my life without opening that door that I would really never want to open.   

Voice : And it cannot be any different with the way you live your life right now.

Me : If it's just about doing what the heart wants, why is it such a hard decision to make ? 

Voice : Because the mind has hundreds of very good reasons; the heart has just one.   

Me : Wow. So true. But, just like all climbers, I have always used a safety rope to climb. The inherent risk remains, but the feeling of this security enables my freedom to climb harder. Everyone looks at creating their own safety-net, right ? 

Voice : Yes. Sense of security is not the problem. You just have to recognise when it becomes your bondage instead of freedom. 

Serving God

Me :  How can I serve You ? I want to make a significant difference…want to offer myself in service to God’s work.  

Voice : Why do you feel so ? 

Me : Isn’t living a life working for God a privileged opportunity ? 

Voice : What do you have in mind ? 

Me : Hold gatherings, read books, talk to people, write, spread messages, create awareness about God….

Voice : Wonderful. But, you do know that it's also possible for Me to do that on My Own ? Being God, I can be resourceful. 

Me :  So, what are you saying ?  

Voice : There is no higher or lower service, there is no unprivileged or privileged work and in the same way there is no such as thing as serving God, if you fully comprehend Infinity. 

God by being God, is fully adequate and complete. How can the Infinite be served by the finite ? How can one from the separateness serve Oneness ?  Wouldn't an All-powerful and All-knowing be in total charge of his own creation ? Could God the creator, in a moment create and destroy ? What help can one offer Him ? In reality, is this idea of 'serving God' even possible ? 

When you are offered any opportunity to be involved in the cause of Truth, you are only helping your ownself. God is beyond help. Every act of service is only an act that serves your ownself. You only do service because that is who you have become. You begin to know that you are not serving anyone or cannot serve God, but you have become helpless in your spontaneous expression.  

Me : If service is about serving oneself, then does it matter what one does to serve ?  

Voice : It is not ‘what' service, but ‘how' you serve. Love must be the reason for everything. He who never propagates about God, but lives from the deepest love in his heart serves best. On the other hand, if you were working for God, but failed to live from the highest ideal, all so-called service in the name of God has little meaning.

Your own growth lies in the act of service, not in it's accomplishment, because I am beyond results. And the only result that matters, is the manifestation of love within. 

Service presents you an opportunity to serve your ownself with love. True service is when love pours out of you because this is what really changes your world. If you believe your world needs Love, you have to become the carrier of it yourself, first.   

You have developed this notion that only a certain type of service is serving God. Once again, you have succeeded in creating distinctions of higher and lower. Once again, you hold judgements that restrain the flow of pure love. A lofty ideal to serve for God can also lie in making a cup of tea with so much love that God flows in each sip to the one who drinks it. 

Everytime you hold Me in your heart and 'give-in’ for love and choose being called wrong, in spite of being right for the sake of love, is one of the highest ways to serve. 

Me : What about possessing qualities of selfless service ? 

Voice : Why nuture any idea of possession ? You do not ‘possess’ anything. You only become or unbecome. If you strive to live from this ideal, you don’t have to worry about selfless service because in time, you will become that.   

Me : What about our repeated failures to make this world a better place ? 

Voice : You mean repeated failures to make your heart a better place ? There is no 'other place’. 

Me : Wow

Voice : Do you imply that I have lost charge of My Creation or something missed my attention or I messed up an outcome because I was busy handling an overload of prayer requests ? 

Me : Hahahaha. You are funny. But importantly, you are Infinite Consciousness...and I get your point clearly now.  

Voice : You may accomplish the greatest humanitarian work or you may fail in all your efforts to serve as the world understands, but remember this, if there was any failure for man - it will be failing to operate out of Love.  

The idea of service needs to be carefully understood. Since you come from a race that is used to classifying and standardising everything over the years, you seem to have done the same to human activity or what you call work. Social service, philanthropy or service to God are the many 'graded activity titles'. Yes, for some people it can be a beautiful and a natural form of expression of love. Each one is free to choose and do what helps them develop love, express love and live with love. What you do does not matter, but how you do it.  

The full weight of any accomplishment lies in the process, not the result. Opportunities will come into your life to make this love flourish within you. The kind of work or outcome becomes utterly insignificant, if you have already achieved the prized result of love. Then, know that you have served very well.     

And, for the one who knows Infinity deeply will know that I am already aware of the result...aeons ago.   

Me : I just sometimes feel left out when I watch and know of people doing great work in service to God..

Voice : Be you. Be Love. Because a river of love can flow only in one direction - towards the Ocean of Love. What else can be your goal ?    

Can losing the love within your heart to work for My Cause, be higher than being Love ? Having Love in your heart, is in itself serving the world. 

Divine Silence

Me : Why is silence so spiritually important ? 

Voice : If you wanted to paint, would you prefer to choose a blank canvas or just paint over another painting? 

Me : Anyone would want a blank canvas..

Voice : Silence creates a blank canvas for your soul. The painting on this canvas unfolds from within in its own free way, in this inner silence. 

Me : How does one create that blank canvas ? 

Voice : In total surrenderance to the moment. 

Me : Always sounds great, but what does that even mean ?     

Voice : Just the way you choose a bank canvas to paint, you empty your mind to create magic. You become so empty that you do not even hold the painting brush. You observe. The unfoldment of the painting of your life finds its own colours, textures and size. The result will be the most magnificent work of art from the hands of the Divine. 

A mind that has surrendered is not rushing anywhere. It remains silent and allows.

It is when you want to paint over another painting, that you begin to get flustered. And most of humanity is lost to the noise, instead of living with the sound of silence.  

When you create moments of silence within you, you create blank spaces which fill up with inspiration. In those moments, you hear the voiceless voice, the silent sound of Divinity.   

Me : Wow. How does one find this silence ? 

Voice : In many ways.. 

Me : Tell me an easy one I can do now.  

Voice : Ok. 

Now, close your eyes only for a small moment. Believe there is nowhere to go and nothing to become. Drop all the titles you live with. Desire for absolutely nothing..not even God. There are no goals. Be still. Know that nothing belongs to you, not your body nor your mind. Drop all your beliefs of time and know that past and future do not exist. Only bring your awareness to this present moment. Become free like the wind. This moment belongs to your soul. 

Me : Wow

Voice : You will find your real self here. It will open your life to freedom, vibrancy, wisdom, joy and love. When you feel this moment with all your heart and trueness, you will find your highest state of being. 

Me : Why can’t we all find this small measure of peace, if it's so simple ? What's coming in the way ? 

Voice : You. You are coming in your own way. Nothing binds you except your ownself. How many of you live in the awareness of inner silence ? How many of you want nothing ? How many of you embrace the present moment ? How many of you welcome losing everything to find the reward of nothing ?

If your canvas is not blank, how can the painting be special ?  You have held the painting brush so tight, that I only remain waiting for you to release your hold, so I can create, that which can fill you with unbounded love and joy. 

Release. Release more and more. What are you holding to ? 

When the floodgates open within you, rivers of love will gush in it's silent flow through your entire being, filling emptyness with life-giving love. Seeds will bloom with the nurture of your heart. A Divine garden will spring forth in perfect silence, while you remain only a witness.       

When you begin to live with Divine Silence, your senses will feel the vibration, instead of the sound of words.

The Circle Of Life

Me : Where does mankind stand right now with it's evolution ? 

Voice : Your question itself will give you a fair understanding of where you stand. You naturally think about evolution of mankind. But, mankind is not alone on this planet. All life in creation is on the evolution journey. And, when you begin to include ALL even in your question, you will begin to discover your own answer.

When you pay attention only on the ascension of mankind, you are making the same mistake to isolate all life in creation from yourself. 

For long, you have lived a life disconnected from rest of existence. Your natural world is interconnected and interwoven with your own Being. You are not separate from it. You never were. And can never be. When this distance is bridged, you will begin your journey as an evolving race. The idea that your species is separate from nature despite being evolved from nature, dependent on nature, and involved in the cycles of nature, may need to be rediscovered.  

Your natural world is a perfect gauge of your evolution. This will mirror where you stand as a human race.    

Me : We urgently need strong laws and enforcements to protect nature !

Voice : Not when there are laws to conserve the natural habitats, but when there are absence of any laws is when you have evolved. You protect and preserve not because of any enforcements, but because this is your very nature. There can never be laws to force the expression of love. Not only protecting, preserving and creating an abundant natural world, but communion with it, is your very nature. 

Your evolution is a realisation of your shared place on earth which affects your being - how you experience the world; your emotional response, beliefs and attitude towards nature. Nature is an artistic expression of God’s love. When you live disconnected from nature, you impede the natural flow of love and healing that sustains all.  

Me : This will need a major change. Leaders of nations would play a role here. Will the current situation bring about this change ? 

Voice : The pandemic will trigger governments around the world to release relief monetary packages to protect and boost their economies. This may be a good at your attempt to keep your material world afloat. But, when a country that begins to know and understand that the natural environment and mankind are an eternal, supreme and unfailing co-existence, it would release an equally generous relief plan to nurture it's environment to seek a new found harmony. This shift of priority will be the first sign of a major change in your world. 

Me : Not tuned into news. Not sure if any monetary relief is announced for Mother Earth by anyone, yet.

Voice : You don't have to strive and struggle for restoration of balance, you just have to become human beings, again. When the natural correction runs it’s course, Humanity will find itself where it needs to be. 

Me : Are you implying we could have more upheavals coming our way in the coming years ?  Like more lives lost, destruction, natural calamities, wars, etc ? 

Voice : It's called the Circle of Life. It is the natural order of the highest Love that will renew, revitalise and rejuvenate all of creation.  

Will you ever consider yourself healed, awakened and revived if a part of you is dying or struggling to survive ? How can you imagine to thrive, if a part of you isn’t equally thriving ? 

All living things on this planet, are part of a single, all-encompassing consciousness. It is this consciousness, that makes your planet capable of supporting life, while your near neighbours in the solar system are barren and lifeless.

This is why I said that the best way to gauge your own evolution is to look at nature as a mirror. This is your honest and truthful state. 

Me : Think our woes have been our disconnection with nature. 

Voice : If you were connected with your own Self, nature would become an inseparable part of your existence and your life would be in a natural rhythm.

Few months ago, you felt and sensed a large event in the world to take place, which would halt your world. Do you know why you felt this ? 

Me : Yes, that happened when I was walking my dog alone, in the open grasslands during sunset and suddenly a strange calmness emitting from the sun, clouds, wind and birds began to speak the same frequency. And, that is when it was known to me to anticipate and embrace what was certainly going to come. I rechecked all my plans and waited. This communion has always been in my life like between a watchful mother and a child.      

Voice : Because you are not separate from it. Not only do you know it, you feel it. Spending much time with nature, you have found your ally. The bond is that of unadulterated love and protection.    

Nature is a painting of the Creator reflecting your own existence, that can be your gateway to many mysteries, secrets, awakening and whispers from the Divine.       

Me : True. When will everyone know this ? 

Voice : When one awakens to feel God's love reverberating from every blade of grass.  

Me : And, what about our measures for Saving the Earth ? 

Voice : Don't worry about saving the Planet. Save yourselves. Rest of creation already exists in natural harmony. 

This Life Or The Next

The path wasn’t visible, 

But the direction was certain

Searching for peace,

 And trying to breathe 

 Fate seems to follow,

Where destiny leads

 Light was in the darkness, 

Which laid me to defeat 

It wasn’t walking towards,   

But the walking away 

Somethings are meant to surface, 

In this life or the next. 

True Surrender

“ This period you call darkness,

Is the emergence of light 

For in its wake of despair,

Lies a new lease of life 

Only when things end, 

Can things begin 

For without a fall, 

There can be no rise

Just like a dawn brings dusk,

So does a slumber bring an Awakening 

The heart that is open to dreams,

Knows what the future will bring.

When loss becomes a gain, 

There will be none to blame 

The spirit that knows no bondage, 

Will feel the coming of a New Age.

Isn’t it a true surrender,  

To lose all for the ultimate gain

For loss of life can only happen, 

To a life that was truly alive."

The Ride

Voice : You remember spinning on a revolving wheel in a playground ? 

Me : Oh ya. I was totally enjoying that until I was asked to step out and let the kids play. In our world we do everything possible to keep up with that schedule of 'growing-up' !

Voice : But you haven't. You still ring your neighbour's doorbell and run. 

Me : I think they know it's me, but they can't come to terms with it. Ha ha. Anyway, you were talking about the revolving wheel ...

Voice : You know when the wheel really begins to spin fast, and if you are on the edge, you are likely to loose balance and possibly fling away. But, if you remain right at the centre of the wheel, you are able to hold your balance and keep steady no mater how fast the wheel gets. 

Me : Yep. It was always harder finding balance on the periphery. 

Voice : That's exactly how most of you are living with God. God is right at the core of your being and you are always hanging on the periphery. This is the real reason why you tend to loose your balance. You easily become vulnerable to emotional swings, find yourself susceptible to fears, anger, fustration, worry and anxiety. It’s because of where you are standing with respect to Divinity.

If you want to ensure you don't fall from the wheel, the first thing you will do is anchor yourself. In the same way, the first thing you need to do is anchor your consciousness deeply with God, and then attend to your worldly matters. Instead, you are living in a reverse way by anchoring firmly with the world and later adjusting your time for Divinity. Wouldn't it then be natural to keep losing balance ?      

For the one who chooses to stay at the centre of the wheel, no matter how rapid the wheel may spin, he will remain grounded. For the one who is centred in God is balanced, steady and content. Real balance and equipoise is not gained by being on the sidelines, but by diving deep into the core of Divinity. It's impossible to lose balance when you are anchored in His Love.     

If you see yourself losing equilibrium, you would want to reflect on where you are standing.  

Me : Thank you. I am so glad you talk to me like this. You are so amazing, patient, humorous and of course, 'heavenly'. You have such a simple way to put things in perspective. Your guidance is ever so gentle and loving. I can't think of anything you really disapprove in me. I would be so utterly lost on my own. When you speak to me, I feel ...well....I can't find words to express it...   

That hugely misplaced idea of 'God' going around is so so so far from the truth. If only one knew what it felt to live deep in your awareness, one would not want anything else. 

Voice : Thank you. Ride with Me can get bumpy sometimes, but ..

Me : But, You always bring in the popcorn and candy and that's all I need to stay happy!     

Voice : Ha ha 

Me : You know I have loved that Transformers 4D ride at Universal Studios and done it multiple times. I have thought this often..like imagine if one day we would have a possibility of multi-dimensional ride into Infinity, crossing over the seven planes, moving into past and future simultaneously, hear the sound of creation, feel the knowledge, power and bliss...The ride can be called ‘The God Experience'. Wouldn’t that be so cool ? I mean anyone who gets a small glimpse of this experience, would easily turn to you, love you and you’ll have millions of crazy fans worldwide !   

Voice : Maybe a little different, but the ride is coming soon for all .....

Search For The Perfect Blossom

Search For The Perfect Blossom

"Golden rays filtered through the mighty oaks, 

Creating a magic of darkness and light   

Scent of cedarwood filled the air,

Rustling of leaves pierced the silence. 

Mighty mountains enveloped the forests,

While the mist played hide and seek

Was that time when silence could speak, 

Innerbeing was in rhythm to nature’s beat. 

Finally, sighting the perfect blossom, 

It was a rare sight indeed

Life of a pursuit met its end,

But, I happened to sow seeds again. 

   

It was a familiar story, 

Of search for the greatest beauty 

The fulfilment was not outside, 

But, deep within me."  

Most Powerful Force Of Thought

Voice : What is the most powerful thought ?

Me : What ?

Voice : The mightiest and most powerful thought the mind can have is the thought of God.

Me : That’s a hard battle for most minds..

Voice : You know why ?

Me : Too much Netflix ?

Voice : If I asked you to run a marathon tomorrow, would you be able to accomplish it ? You have run marathons in the past.

Me : This lockdown has got me a little rusty. I need to practice. If I work on my stamina, strength, flexibility and diet, I can knock this within a month.

Voice : Sure. Also, your years of practice would help you to get ready for it quicker than others.

Me : Oh yes. That will count a lot.

Voice : Your mind works just the same. How can you expect to have effortless, continuous and spontaneous thoughts of God without preparation, practice and perseverance ? Unmindful living for years has left your mind totally helpless to indiscriminate and unchecked thinking. Often, any attempt to fight those thoughts results in repeated failures or simply magnifying them.

Your attempt to switch to the most powerful thought of God, is like trying to run a marathon without even a walking experience.

Me : So what does one do ?

Voice : Use discipline, determination and dedication - the same qualities you use for your physical fitness. Mind must go through the same levels of gradual progress and cultivation of elevated thinking until thinking about God becomes effortless.

You may find it necessary to graduate from negative thinking to neutral thoughts. This can be a big transition by itself. Next, you move from neutral to positive thoughts. And once you are predisposed to positive thinking in all circumstances, you will be able to effortlessly move to 'God thoughts’. If a constant state of Divine Awareness is your goal, you will have to rise from your current thinking with conscious efforts. Divinity will see to the rest.  

Me : But, doesn't one remember God best when one is suffering ? How can one have positive thinking while being down with all the negative thoughts and emotional chaos ? Isn't calling out to Divinity from one's heart still making a deep connection, although not in the most positive and calm state of mind ?   

Voice : I am glad you brought this up. "Suffering as a means to remember God" is not My idea. Because of your utter loss of control of your mind, you have been living with this belief since ages. On the contrary, one who thinks about God in his happiest state, remembers God the best. Why do you need suffering to call out for Divine help ? I love it when you think of Me when you are having a great time, experiencing peace, having fun and when you include me in your best moments. You feel God is with you when you are at your lowest, because at that time you become so helpless that the mind is undistracted with anything except focusing on your last ray of hope. I prefer to be your priority, instead of the last hope. Call me when nothing is going wrong and I can have a day off with you. Happiness and humour are God's closest allies.       

The reason why most remember God in suffering is because they have not been able to make the transition to living with higher ideals and thinking. Because if one did so, 'suffering' would be an alien word to them. Pain exists but suffering is the creation of your thinking. This is the reason why I pointed the importance of striving to create a life or a mind that is naturally predisposed to positivity. For then, it's infinitely easier to move to God-thoughts. Apart from the fact that I am happiest if you think of Me when you are happy, instead of the common belief that suffering is My chosen tool for deeper connection.

Me : Any suggestions for something that can help cultivate our minds to a life of continuous Divine awareness ?

Voice : Meditation. A conscious effort to exercise your mind to elevated thinking. Meditation can be done in different ways. It's training yourself to exercise mindfulness. It's bringing your consciousness to dis-engage unserving thoughts.        

Me : It does feels good during the meditation. But, the moment you eject yourself from meditation, myriad of thoughts return back as quickly as they had disappeared.

Voice : This is because you have compartmentalised your thinking. Your higher state of mind is not exclusive to meditation sessions. Meditation is not a goal. It is a means to your goal. You must use the profound experience from meditation to seamlessly continue it's flow into your daily activities. You must try to hold the peace, stillness and joy from the mediation as long as you can. Gradually, you are able to increase this time and this turns effortless and your life shapes up to a living meditation. You must want to live God. 

That is the reason why one must keep working on it. It becomes a part of your existence. It propels your intuition. It brings you stillness. It's your intimate communion with God. 

You begin to generate a tremendous power with God-thoughts. It not only alters your frequency, it begins to impact the world. You begin to evolve at a heightened speed. All that does not serve your higher purpose begin to fall off because you have become a natural magnet for all that is Divine. 

A simple act of thinking about God, can impact your entire being and has the power to reshape your evolution and open a gateway to the most treasured inner journey of your soul. You draw to you the highest divine qualities by constantly thinking of the Divine. The world around fades away and you awaken to your true purpose. If you had the slightest idea of the power of God-thoughts, you would do everything to channelise your thinking towards Divinity.  

The life of the one who meditates and lives on the highest ideal of Love will reflect Divine Abundance.

Me : Simple thing to do, if one seeks the highest treasure.. 

Voice : Yes, It's simple. You become what you think of deeply. If you think God, you will become God. Perhaps, the innate simplicity of this, is the very reason it's not sunk deeper for Humanity.   

  
Me : There are tons of books on positive thinking which can manifest a good life. Can this be of help with one’s journey to higher living ?

Voice : Of course. Good thoughts and positive thinking is certainly useful. But, it’s equally important to know who you are and what you want.  

Me : Meaning ? 

Voice : When you reach deeper awareness, you will find a significant difference. 

You will realise that positive thinking is about the creation. God-thinking is about the Creator. Positive thinking creates a better world for you. God-thinking detaches you from the world. Positive thinking is what you want. God-thinking is about what He wants. Positive thinking belongs to the mind. Thinking about God belongs to your soul.

Me : Wow..    

Voice : If the intent is from the depth of your heart, you won’t struggle to remember God, because He will begin to remember you.
