The Zen master was walking along a beach, when he picked up a flat stone, which he then threw into the water, so that it bounced three, or four times, off of the water. He said to his students: "We all need to bounce off...

Shiva @innertalks Yes God has given us a long rope with an inner conscience to do what is right. But we live it up as if there is no tomorrow, no accountability.

The Spiritual master, Sri Kotan Zerskoski, was distinguishing to his students about the heart, and the mind. He said that the thinking mind does not really know reality, and only the knowing heart knows the true reality...

Shiva @innertalks It is the shared life that matters and not the selfish one that overpowers us through our wrong priorities. We have gone astray from day one and we do not retract or change course. The root cause is our disconnection with the universal soul/mind....

Shiva @innertalks That seems more than an iron curtain. Once dead, no coming back for all we know. We are set free to roam and then join the queue for a return to familiar territory or send back to reeducate ourselves. Then again wherever we happen to be, it...

Shiva @innertalks With every groundbreaking development, the line between belief and doubt shifts. However, where we end up later is shrouded in mystery that creates misery in us. Those who leave before us leave behind memories and then comes a thought our...

Shiva @innertalks Yes, it is belief in our creator that gives us hope. However, I feel like it is the blind leading the blind as none has any real experience or hard evidence what awaits us, if at all any. Of course, beliefs are nicely packaged and even evolving...

Shiva @innertalks It is fascinating to ride out our journey here covering different phases. We have a simpler take as children but soon we are jolted into facing the harsh reality of a hypocritical world we cannot avoid. It is more of survival and avoiding the...

We should not try to destroy our ego, but to work with it. Our ego is a part of who we are. Our total person includes our ego. We need to connect our ego to our soul, rather than to our mind, and so instead of...

Shiva @innertalks We have a tendency to differentiate negatively with every type of permutation and combination. I have seen people do so with even the two hands and legs we are born with. Without one of the senses, we cannot function properly though a blind...

Shiva @innertalks They are all there for a reason and then it is up to us to find harmony by judicious use of them. Ignoring the God given awareness attained through making all play its part will only deprive us to lead a fulfilling life.

Shiva @innertalks Yes, we can be termed as naive or losers, but a loving life is never wasted. Naysayers abound but they cannot escape the incessant prompting of their conscience to turn the corner.

Shiva @innertalks it is time we took responsibility for our actions and inactions. To expect our creator to clean up after us is abhorrent.

Shiva @innertalks we are given certain tools with which we can step up or destroy ourselves. God’s tools are different which he may have created all by himself. He is not there to micromanage us to an extent we can exist shaking our legs.

I read this on the Internet recently, written by some religious scholar. "Only the awakened can guide others to be awake." I thought about it, and came to the conclusion, that it is just not true. No, this is not true,...

Shiva @innertalks Billionaires and paupers live cheek-by-jowl in the poorest of countries. While the rich enjoy the rain from their high-rise apartments, the poor scamper to stay dry from the relentless onslaught.

Shiva @innertalks It is a fact, that some leaders project their neighbors as enemies. It is out-and-out politics to get elected. Pakistan is cozy with China but looks at India as its enemy despite having more in common with India. It speaks volumes that no Indian...

Shiva @innertalks Some play it safe, lead a disciplined life, and share their experiences. Such sharing of experiences benefits the younger generation especially as long as wealth is earned honorably. Of course, some may react with envy! I feel "each in their...
