Unlabelling



My research about exploring the idea of ‘self’ has given me some new insights; the reading on Gyaneshwari (Bhagwad Geeta) explores the idea from the spiritual perspective and that means we have to go into abstraction—from form to formless. The readings and the experiences of the journey are much liberating and sometimes overwhelming.

"Out beyond the ideas of right-doings and wrong-doings, there’s a field…"

How about in our existence, we stop labeling our experiences? How about no good or bad experiences? How about everything is happening around and is just happening…

How about not labeling our emotions? How about not labeling people? How about we go beyond the ideas of anger, happiness, love, hatred, jealousy, and so on by ‘not labeling them’. Just experiencing and letting go—let us pretend, we have overgrown the practice of labeling…or let's pretend we have forgotten the words that label everything and everyone around.

Experiencing an emotion and letting go…

Seeing a moment coming and without holding it, just letting go…letting everyone and everything flow…

Realizing that we are individual units in a much bigger fabric woven by the cosmos? The insights as I mentioned earlier are too overwhelming and liberating for me, as I get into pretend mode, at least I feel one can always experiment in life with their insights.

BTW, witnessed and survived 'coronafication'…I am very much alive and set for the journey being a part of a larger fabric—woven by the cosmos.


P.S. again, the intent of this post is to drain out what comes and passes my mindscape in order to perform my dharma of self-expression, at least in my personal blog.

The source of art

Facing a blank canvas is like facing an unknown region of yourself and accepting this space to work upon is like accepting dialogue with the unknown. In a random discussion on Indian mythology, I once heard this theory about the difference between Shri Vishnu( the preserver) and Shri Shiva (the destroyer) that in Hindu rituals, when they worship Shri Vishnu, he is always offered processed things like, curd, ghee, butter, etc. and that represents the processing of an individual. Like the one who worships Shri Vishnu must grow up in a way to follow the dharma of the society, should follow all the dharma associated with being a householder, a father, a son, a friend etc. To become a householder or to carry on with the dharma of a social being since, Shri Vishnu is a preserver- a preserver of the society as well. On the other hand, Shri Shiva (the supreme god -the god of destruction and the spirit within us) would accept everything unprocessed. That is raw milk, wildflowers/fruits which no

Lines and existence

Image
Part of my work in progress Just as nature follows a pattern and also unfollows. As if the pattern is a routine and randomness and spontaneity is what makes it all alive. Just like life is an assemblage of many things done and undone…and many things are undone after done. The same way a painting is a journey of doing and undoing…learning and unlearning. Just like many visuals that cross our eyes and while some get registered in the memory whereas some cross unregistered. Like many memories we lived…we remember some in clarity, but some just leave a faint stain. Well, that is what is the amalgamation of experiences of the state of being alive and being aware of existence. The patches of lines in order on my canvas forming a clear pattern maybe shows my syncing with the energies of nature when it follows a pattern and a series of broken lines are maybe the manifestation of the dynamics that goes on while life and order are being created every day. Just like through connection with the

If it matters

To experience the season that is passing through…is the only choice a tree has. For it's not the tree but the principles laid by mother (nature) that decide what the skies, the wind, the land will offer to its existence. While the tree engages in the dialogue with the passing season, and the transformation that takes place, happens as a response to the process it is going through. The clouds that cross the forest rain, the wind blows- as a breeze or as thunder, the cold, the sunshine…all part of the process. The process one’s existence is bound to follow as soon as the life in matter begins. For it's not the being in the matter (the tree) that decides what season it will experience…and how they transform it?  But it is for the cosmos to decide…(as if one life in matter matters that much?)
