A Postcard from 13 Year Ol' Me.


An Indian PostcardMy sis found this postcard today, which I'd written to my parents & her when I was in the 7th standard at Sri Sathya Sai Higher Secondary School, Prashanti Nilayam. Was awesome reading it. The innocence (ahem) I sensed in it was funny as the Current me to read, but was a really good trip down memory lane. Oh, Btw, If my dad reads this postcard now, He'll begin his "Oh How Nice (read: Oiled Hair & well combed with side parting, no goatee, no ear rings, no future tattoo, language without bad words) my son was once..." speech. Trying to avoid hearing that. Here goes the postcard with exact spelling mistakes, words & font styles!... (btw do people in India still use these? I think postcards have an awesome quality about 'em. I think its the fact that one conveys so much in so less space. Articulation should be practiced on these)

Dear Acha, Amma & Chechi,

Sai Ram. Hope you are fine by Swami's grace. I am fine over here. I have bought many postcards so please don't be angry with me for I will surely write to you. I had to withdraw money so I got delayed. I recieved the letter which was full of blastings. I have got to change my behaviour for Swami wants me to be an ideal student. The exhibition which was going to be held was cancelled. There was a discourse specially for students in the institute auditorium. Swami spoke about how a student has got to behave. There were many people in the auditorum especially the front block was filled with the youth from overseas countries. We all sang one song which was followed by Swami's discourse about which I will write later in the next card. I am happy that chechi has got her dream fulfilled. Our house problem will be solved as soon as possible.

yours everloving Son,
P. SAI KUMAR

Thou shalt speak your perspective

The personality we exist as and the personality we truly are.

We truly are more disconnected from ourselves. Ourself being the state we get to, when calm and, introspective you become, of you and the world, through daily good focussed meditation to be able to disconnect from your existential self. You are not the crazy, antic-driven you, that normally exists. You are the one always drowning in the beauty of the moment and seeing how we all are programmed to be a certain way/act/exist in society. The existential you is the guy sitting by himself in the studio, when being in his boring natural existence. We all put on our own masks, some complex and layered. The closer you are to a person, the lesser the masks+layers. Hence, you know very clearly how close you are to each friend in your life. One never truly knows oneself. People always say the previous statement, not realizing that to truly find oneself is the point of spiritual guidance. It is truly finding oneself that is Liberation aka Moksha. Hence, meditation and all spiritual practices te...
