Stillness

Within a blink of eye, days have slipped through. Other side of the calendar is around the corner. Summer is at its peak. But, believe you me, nothing appears to have changed. The purity, the sanctity, the eternity, the stillness! The purity of those deep breaths, the sanctity of self-righteousness, the eternity of contentment and the stillness of mind, body and soul!
Just like free-flowing water, stillness also tends to find its own path and settles down well even after chaos. It struggles with self; a lot of times fights with self and emerges as the ultimate winner. When set free of expectations, mind deals with stillness in the most effective way. The demand of expectations sets one yearn more and more to go down the path of stillness. And by the way, the bigger the expectations, the harder it takes to get there!
How about the hierarchy of expectations? Well, it is one such ladder, which keeps on growing vertically upwards. You get what I mean. Even harder to get there! You see. Doesn’t matter how hard it is. The stillness will still find its way. Remember purity, sanctity and eternity. Can you ever get away with these pillars of stillness? Most likely not, unless you let your intentions fly in that direction. I am sure you would not want to.
Stillness without doubt breeds prosperity and happiness. Prosperity and happiness for all is what I pray for. Living a life full of smiles is what I wish for. Letting go of all the miseries and pains is what I want more.

Love is the word I spread more.

Wonderful to see you back after 6 months

Interesting exposition of stillness. Never thought of it this way.

Maybe the ultimate form of stillness is serenity.

Wonder what triggered this post from you.

@ Ramesh - Yes, Serenity is the ultimate form. No such specific tigger.. just a returning post after some gap, actually did not feel away from this space! :)
