Providence: The article “Creative is Redemptive,” published by the literary e-journal Muse India

It is with joy and gratitude that I share, joy and gratitude: In the midst of a wonderful ensemble of divine creativity, in the March-April 2016 issue of the literary e-journal Muse India (http://www.museindia.com/feature.asp?id=66), finds place, the article, “Creative is Redemptive” (http://www.museindia.com/featurecontent.asp?issid=66&id=6479).

Creative is redemptive, always...the very process of creation, infinitely redemptive, besides the redemption, inexhaustible, providence, experienced as the creation comes to form and is shared with all. So is the experience, yet again.... The article is in the Feature—Mass Appeal—Let’s Get Creative, presented under Explorations.

The Divine answers, always, in ways grander than the grandest imagined—and answers even unasked. Grateful I am to Its providence in the form of the dedication of the dedicated and gracious team members of Muse India. And they have even fulfilled a dream, undreamt: John Keats, as his photo, graces, as accompanies, the article. It is the Divine’s providence always, and divine synchronicity its way, all the way.... The presence of John Keats blesses with the immeasurable, and that also includes the recollection of the post, a revelation, shared, on January 5, 2016, with John Keats and divine synchronicity the “protagonists”!

Yes, providence is all, divine synchronicities resplendent, chance occurrences none, all timed to perfection, as Perfection guides all the way, leaving nothing to chance, giving infinite chances, opportunities, and leads to the fulfillments, way beyond the wildest and grandest of imaginings.

As is this shared, also request to visit the site of Muse India (http://www.museindia.com/), and contribute, if you are so called.

Thanks to all!

With love and warm regards,

Love burns all notions of separation

When notions of all boundaries cease to be in the mind, boundaries of nations too would cease to be, and so would, all partitions...of religions...caste...and what nots... As is realized, so beautifully expressed, "We are all one under the one Sun"—when, burns the flame of Universal Love, not just in the heart but in the mind as well—the peace within would thrive without as well. And that, is absolutely possible, as nothing is impossible for Love, God, Life...and towards that Love, God, Life, calls out to all, from within one to all...in one and all, as is All That There Is...The All-In-One...The One-In-All! The intrinsic Oneness, Love as the Universal Energy of Creation, keeps calling out untiringly, and as is heard and embraced, invoked is the consciously Love-aligned, all notions of separation burnt in the flame of Love, which, as It keeps burning, burns all non-functional, seals all chasms and heals all spasms.

Thanked is an elder sister, the dear Natashadi, for sharing the post (on facebook), a catalyst for this invocation…

“The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.”

~ Sydney J. Harris

Subsequent to the invocation, also got led to find that there is a book, too, of poems, One under the Sun, by Vincent M. Spada.

We are one under the Sun, and that, is realized when one burns in the flame of Love Eternal, Within, burning thus all notions of a separate self…. It is the war in the mind, the arrogance of ignorance, that ignites and fans the destructive fire, that has to be doused by the Healer Fire, Love, and that It does, inevitably, unavoidably! All “isms” are respected, and yet, all “isms” are transcended, the “Sole Ism,” of Love, The Way…All That There Is, is guiding one and all (perceptibly or imperceptibly, but definitely, realized or otherwise), all the way, to access and embody the “Soul-ism,” redefining and refining realism, Love, embodied.

The Love and Peace, that throbs in every heart, thrives in the mind as well, all rendered all-healed, no longer one robbing oneself of one’s Sole and Eternal Inheritance, and in concurrence, one transcends all boundaries, no more boundaries cooked, playing one’s role to perfection, consciously, as the Universal In Being…a citizen responsible of the Universe, the unique verse of the Universe, acknowledging the diverse and the diversity as unique as well, the All-In-One expressed in ways infinite, as, though One, is Infinite as well. One burns not with malice, but burns as the chalice of Love!

The Fire, that heals all wounds, as It burns, but doesn’t burn anyone!

It matters not how many times one has come across a message, matters the timing, which presents the ever-enhancing significance of the message, with each presentation, each, perfectly timed. Message remains the same, the reception to it, doesn’t, as elevates. It is a constant movement, within…towards absolute melding with the truth of being, to embody, in each moment, truly, that, and that is Love—unadulterated, un-attached, unaltered. Truth, Love, is that Fire, which keeps burning within, and the warmth of Its keeps beckoning, to be realized and embodied, released, unleashed, expressed fully, experienced absolutely. Thus, the recurrence of messages, in concurrence with the Self-referral…Love calling out to Love!

So it has happened and grateful I am to the message: The quote via Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, read again—courtesy, The Times of India, Kolkata, February 13, 2016—in the “Sacredspace” zone.

Gravity & Love

“Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” ~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

Indeed, so it is, as is the natural yearning, and so, majestically, mystically fulfilled by the Very Thing for which the yearning is, as, It is All That There Is…Love…God…—matters not by which name we refer to it. The call is heard by all, ultimately, and whatever be the name, one thing is same: It is referred to with reverence, gratitude, humility, glee… The call is heard by all, inevitably, as the Fire is inextinguishable, and has come to form to be realized by one and all. Its purpose cannot be thwarted, forever, as it keeps burning forever…. Perseverance is always redeemed, and in ways grander than the grandest imagined!

The Fire, Love, within, is what keeps one going, even unbeknownst—and more so, when chips seem to be down, and called upon is its warmth and light, even if not consciously. It is central and existential to being, yet, unrealized, it is hatred that comes to the fore, and singes one. But the Fire, singes not, burns not, anyone—rather, It keeps burning and healing all wounds, of all, all-around, far and wide! The Fire, as is accessed and embraced, within, one realizes the gravity and magnanimity of the Divine, Love…one understands the divine design behind the recurrences, as also behind the hatred… Through it all, one gravitates towards one’s Centre…Existence…Truth of Being…Love, and there couldn’t be a bigger revolution, as it triggers a healing movement, as within so without. It is the Mate, Ultimate, met within…. One sees then the differences as not defiances, but as the different hues of the same Fire, and instead of trying to subdue the other hues, one gives each its due, as, above all one honors the hue that one is, allowing the Fire to burn and glow, heal and light the lives that grace the path of life eternal, realized through the ephemeral, life in form physical. Truth, within, again recalls Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, recalling with reverence and gratitude, yet another outpouring of Love, Truth, through and as him: “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.”

Love, realized within, is All, realized…and realized is: Love is the Spirit, in being, in form, is the Fire that burns not anyone, heals everyone!

P.S. Acknowledge, hereby, also, the article in “the speaking tree” zone in the same edition of The Times of India, “Light The Flame Of Love In Your Heart.”

1819 & 1819!

This is how it presents, names itself, the “received,” renaming the original, “Kitty of Divine Creativity: Infinite, Pitch-perfect…” And indeed, it is all pitch-perfect, the pitch of consciousness perfectly ready to receive the received, when is, and thus is. Thus, as is the original version acknowledged as perfect, so is its conversion, all arising out of the ongoing conversation, the inputs of the voice within.

Naturally, the question might arise as to what it is all about. Well, for one, it is definitely the bout of grace, inspiration! And it is the inspiration, transpiring…universe conspiring in favor, as always, whether we know or not. How otherwise, the received is received, on the day just passed, and whose huge gifts would continue to linger…forever…. And the way it is received…yes, yes…all is pitch-perfect! It is not about pitching in for the perfection of the manifestations—perfection of the mechanism of manifestation—without any reason, though truth is not dependent on proofs.

As the number is received, it is synchronicity, divine, received, affirming: Kitty of divine creativity is infinite, pitch-perfect…and so it manifests. It affirms, there are no chance occurrences, and presented are thus recurrences so that the divine order, perfect, is acknowledged and realized…so that none (and nothing) is treated anymore as random, but all received as the graces, manifesting, all in tandem, chronology perfect, nothing succeeding and preceding that which it shouldn’t succeed or precede. And through it, led I am to the remembrance that any “full-length” scripting hasn’t been shared with all, in 2016…and that this is to be that! Thus, unfurls, with gratitude…that…

1819 is the number of odes scripted by John Keats, beginning with the poem, “Ode to Psyche,” the first of the odes, written in the spring of 1819! (Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ode_to_Psyche) To this, I am led by a dear facilitator and friend, a grace, on this journey, as she shares the “course plan” of her fresh (fourth) semester, undergraduate course, the subject, “Comparative Literature.” And to it, I am led on the day, January 4, the day I wished to celebrate the birthday of a dear friend—and the day has turned out to be a huge gift for me, instead…all beings and things, gifts of the Divine. How, otherwise, a person like me, “trained” in Organic Chemistry, is led to all that I am led to? The grandeurs of life are seen through the windows of science and art, literature beholding the splendor, the science behind it and science upholding the art, the artistry of the Artist, dissolving all boundaries of “subjects,” all melding into the intrinsic oneness seamlessly.

The year and the number, is not a matter of serendipity, but of infinite creativity, perfection embodied and in ordered flow, serendipity realized to be a misnomer—yet again—coincidences none, all, presentations of the One-In-All. Serendipity exists in the dictionary, but to ultimately be realized, via the realization of the diction that one is, serendipity is not, the lexicon within courting it no longer. One flows as one with the absolutely ordered flexibility, creativity divine, pitch-perfect that life is. It is divine synchronicity, all the way!

1819 is not just a number…it is an affirmation of the Infinite, of the infinite, which, the confines of the mind tries to defy, define and is confounded, while when is found the self, refined are the meanings, transformed. Skeptic transforms to a mystic…and a mystic, though seeks not affirmations, receives reinforcements…relished is the kitty of divinity, infinite, Its love, without trying to figure things out… It presents Its love in ways emphatic, Its affirmations realized, relished and revered as prophetic. Mind thus shifts gears, and rendered is one a seer…

So notes Albert Einstein (and there are more, than the three quotes shared…):

• “Occurrences in this domain are beyond the reach of exact prediction because of the variety of factors in operation, not because of any lack of order in nature.”

• “There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance.

• “The more I study physics, the more I am drawn to metaphysics.”

The earnestness of divinity, Its truth, manifests…in ways beyond the logic of the mind, and when the mind comes out of the mind and reposes to the order divine…resides in the heart…hears the soul…voice of the Divine, it beholds the beauty like never before, and nods with Keats, as he says in his “Ode on a Grecian Urn”: “Beauty is truth, truth beauty.”

The space essential

"Space" given, honors the individuality and nurtures the collectivity...the togetherness, realizing the self, and thus, oneness with all...divinity realized, as within so without....

"Let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your soul. Sing and dance together but let each one be alone. Stand together yet not too near together, for the pillars of a temple stand apart and the oak tree and cypress grow not in each other's shadow."

~ Kahlil Gibran (in The Prophet)

Acknowledgment: Led to this nugget of wisdom from Kahlil Gibran via the article in "the speaking tree" zone of The Times of India, Kolkata (dated, December 14, 2015), "Vairagya, Doorway To Self-Realisation," by V N Mittal.

Whole and whole, One!

"We are a part of the Whole. At the same time, we are whole in ourselves…because of that: We are a part of the Whole. Just as a drop of an ocean is an ocean in a drop!"

A review of the view presented, and the feelings felt, evoked by Dr Hari Kumar Parameshwar’s The Pillar, Invisible

It is the pillar, invisible, that lends us form and stability…. Unwavering, it is….

It is the invisible that holds the key…as it is the invisible that makes itself known, through its various manifestations…and to render the invisible visible, we are in form—to acknowledge and realize the essentially formless that we are….

And this is what, Dr Hari Kumar Parameshwar, is back again, stating, in his riveting style, in, as and through his third novel: The Pillar, Invisible. Dealing with the subtleties, on the template of the gross, weaving the patterns through the multi-textured plot is his endearing and engrossing  uniqueness, presenting the strong message, yet again, affirming, what we see, without, is because of what all goes on within, in and as our consciousness, its level….

It is all in the mind…and when the mind realizes that it is not all that there is to life, and surrenders to all that actually is, it is healed, and healed is life, fulfilled….

The Pillar, Invisible is the search for that invisible pillar, the fourth pillar, which leads to the melding of the three pillars, the three main characters of the novel. And the search is, because of the disparity, apparent, the stark contrasts, displayed by these three, as also, because of the inexplicable, by conventional logic, the meteoric and sustained rise of the Tasara Group of Companies…

This novel, yet another novel presentation from Dr Hari, the novelty of his creativity and commitment to humanity verily palpable, so compassionately and passionately has presented the characters, the storytelling, as impeccable as it is always, the “cause,” as noble as it is always:  The essentiality of incorporating spirituality in the corporate world. Spirituality liberates one and all from judgmental attitude, and this is what is felt…all through…. Thus, at the end of the novel, none of the characters are found to be impeachable, each a manifestation of a particular guna, trait predominant. Further to it, the symbolism of the names is admired, awe, inspired, when realized…. Melded and welded, well, the balance of the three gunas is harmony, and this is reflected comprehensively by Tasara, wholistic and holistic its essence, approach, functioning and output, contributing comprehensively to the society constructively. It is the brainchild of the three main characters, birthing their “baby,” as they are birthed anew…finding themselves…and the way they are brought together upholds the mystical, surreal manner in which the grand design of life unfurls…in ways grander than the grandest of imagination could conjure, divine synchronicities dotting and bedecking the path…. The events, to begin with, might appear as sore spots, yet, healing cannot be without pain…the gain cannot be realized so long the loss is not felt… Drawn are together, thus, the characters, main, of this saga…the symbolism, inherent, not only in their names but in the very organization they birth—in real sense, well-organized.  It is the manifestation of, “as within so without,” the balance of the three gunas presenting the resultant, which could not have resulted by just one of them. And by doing so, it upholds yet another fact of life, the sojourn—the physical journey in, as and through forms physical—that we call life: It is as collective as individual it is, and to appreciate and realize the eternal, within us all, we are in form, moving through and transcending the ephemeral, while still in bodily form.

Guiding through this search, Dr Hari has gifted a simply breathtaking saga…. The pace, though might leave one breathless, one is never short on breath…asking for more and more, without any pause. It is a poignant and healing page-turner, both at the same time…Dr Hari yet again leaving the mark of his invisible essence, in his now-trademark style, verily visible, touching, and appreciated from the core of being.

The Pillar, Invisible resonates with the truth that the heart knows and mind grows, and then only knows, in sync with the heart, which resonates with the soul: it is the truth of a logic that transcends the conventional, the divine order and its perfection that is in full display, untiringly unfurling and affirming, the visible is because of the invisible eternal.
