A Slow Awakening

kuchh kar guzar ne ko ...
khoon chala khoon chala ...


These are lines from a beautiful song from Rakeysh Mehra's amazingly inspirational movie 'Rang De Basanti'.

A time comes when your hunky-dory, relatively hassle-free life starts to go in a slow motion with you pondering. The things you had asked for at some level from the Existence do keep coming. Say, you had asked for a better job and you got it. You were peeved with a health problem and you found the solution. However,your comfort zones are now filled with more boredom. You want your work to fit in to a larger perspective that is building within you.

sawaalon ki ungli, jawaabon ki mutthi ...
sang lekar ...... khoon chala ...


You now aspire to create a new definition outside of the present limited sphere of your work. New thoughts, new attitude, and new values bring about a shift in your consciousness. You are in a space where you are not turbo-charged by any race, competition, or struggle to survive. Rather, you seek to create a newer “you” through the expression called work. Your work, your potential, your ‘burning flame’ are wasted if not utilized for a vision grander than that of the present.


galiyon se raston se ubharkar, umadkar
naye rang bhar ne ko khoon chala khoon chala


The book series Conversations With God asks you to evolve by challenging your own choices or versions of Who You Really Are.

Whatever one is doing, one should ask the question:
Does the work you do expand your consciousness? Does it fill you up with energy?
