The Latifa is an ancient Sufi prayer meant to connect us with the essence of our being
I exist
I desire
I hope
I believe and I trust
I let go and Just be
I love and give my heart a chance to speak
I am prepared.
Some Questions to reflect upon from time to time – better than dozing off and/or sleep walking into our next thing…..
What is truly important in my life?
What would I really like to be and do in my life?
What are my greatest strengths? What are my talents, possibilities, and true potential?
If I had unlimited time and resources, what would I do? What are my deepest priorities? Continue reading
The question is….

 வருகின்ற புயல் – Gathering Storm |
– Painting in Oils by Jayalakshmi Satyendra –
“And once the storm is over, you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm, you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.”

God – the great Self in you – is your help and guide in all matters. In accordance with His command, pursue any path which He prompts you to. All power, strength and wisdom are within you, because the great Self who is all these is your true being. He will see that your life is a magnificent success.
