Forgetfulness

We are born with a fresh blank memory, thank god... to be able to live a fresh new start!

However in the process of life, we become forgetful again..

We forget that we are pure and innocent. We forget that everyone is part of us. But mostly forget our goal and get sidetracked with distractions.

Often we start a conversation about a specific subject, and then we start jumping from one subject to another, then before we know it, we forget what we were talking about. In the same way, with too many distractions in life we lose our goal. We forget it was there in the first place.

It could be any goal.

From wanting a good education in college, to ending up taking drugs.

From playing board games just for fun, to fighting over who's going to win.

From falling in love, to fighting over the TV remote :)

From wanting to help others, to complaining why others are not doing their job.

From embarking on a lovely journey of love, gratitude and service, to getting stuck with intellectual administrative tasks.

We have always wanted to be in love, live the best life possible. Love is the ultimate, but we have forgotten the ultimate and stuck with an average life.

What courage is needed to step out? I shout this out! How much courage does one need to come out? To step out and get back on track?

Time and again we have lost the goal.

It takes a tragedy, inspiration, great courage or mere coincidence to get back, to remember the goal. Not just remember intellectually but start walking again.

The goal is right here... within. Realize that perfecting the inner gives rise to perfection in the outer. However in the process of perfecting the outer shell we have forgotten our inner core. The only place worth looking at is inside! That inner beauty, strength, courage, joy, faith, wisdom and love, will all then reflect to the outer almost automatically.

If you water the roots of a tree, the water will go all the way up to the core of the fruit. But if you water the fruit alone, this has no value to its growth. It only makes it feel and look fresh... temporarily... then it falls off.

Please don't fall off like a dry fruit. Die fresh and ever new! Live life. Live love. Share it with passion. That's your only security!

Remember.

Yesplus Moves Kuwait

In September 2010 I was invited to teach YESPLUS course, the Art of Living course for youths and Young professionals in Kuwait. Greeted at the airport by 2 lovely bubbly smiling volunteers, I was immediately taken to meetings introducing Art of living. During the whole time spent there the energy was so high! Everyone was so excited and happy to be preparing for the first YESPLUS course ever in the country. I must say that Priya and Sreekumar were wonderful hosts. They hosted me in their home where I felt so comfortable. Family, laughter and delicious south Indian meals were all so warm and sweet :)
I can honestly say that the course was one of my best teaching experiences. I was so moved by everyone's sincerity and love which made all the difference. It was a Rocking start for Kuwait. A nice combination of fun, stress release, deep relaxation, empowerment and a nice party!

Then again to Kuwait in December for a rocking Xmas course. This time I was lucky to stay with the wonderful Meghna and Sunil who are both an inspiration to so many in Kuwait. The juice of the course was human connection. Everything else was an appetizer. The techniques, processes and games were all so great and brought so much love and unity between everyone. Deep human connection is what life is about and I feel proud to be part of a universal process of uniting hearts and minds with love and service. So for me it's all about being in knowledge, and inspiring others to do the same and to inspire others and so on...
