Kindness- Nature’s unique hue

 

Kindness- Nature’s unique hue 

Life resembles a captivating canvas where our memories, experiences, and challenges blend to form numerous masterpieces, each infused with a unique hue of intention. Amidst these creations, some may not align with our initial expectations. It's in these instances that we require the sprinkle of kindness to enrich the composition. Regardless of the outcome, if our intentions were grounded in genuine love, they truly merit this hue.

Pause for a moment and reminisce about an experience where someone extended kindness to you. How did you feel in that moment? Perhaps your heart brimmed with a spectrum of colors—joy, gratitude, love, togetherness, and more. While our hearts fill with a rainbow of emotions, if we were to revisit the person who showed us kindness, they might not even recall the gesture. It's this uniqueness of kindness that renders it the most precious gift of all.

Kindness is nature's gift, allowing us to embrace every thread that connects us to the core of creation. Its most beautiful attribute lies in its ability to flow in the purest form of unity. Hence, not only we as humans, with our cognitive abilities, but everything in nature—plants, animals, birds—can connect through acts of kindness. When one acts with kindness, there are no strings of expectation attached; it bypasses the flow of thought and reflection—it's simply done!

It emanates from the heart, and nothing more. True kindness requires no contemplation. It's pure love radiating from our core, where there is no division, no distinction between anything in nature.

The only way to gauge it is through our feelings. Reflect on how it FEELS when you're kind to others, and also how it FEELS when someone is kind to you. In both instances, there's a profound sense of connection and acceptance. There's no deliberation or assessment—it's the genuine feeling of love behind the action that moves the receiver's heart, and it's the pure feeling of love that prompts the giver toward that action.

Another aspect worth pondering is the satisfaction of needs. These feelings can only be experienced when the unspoken needs of the receiver are fulfilled by the giver. Remarkably, the giver can discern the receiver's needs without them being articulated because when we connect to the source that unifies everything in nature through the heart, somehow we understand. However, it's only when we complete the entire process—from feeling to action—with a selfless intention that these unique hues are added to the canvas of life. Let's not forget, ultimately, there's a vast canvas of the creator, where we as individuals, along with those around us and nature itself, continually craft numerous masterpieces

The Power of Choice: Shaping Our World in Just Ten Minutes

It was 6:00 a.m., and I woke up to the soft, dusky sky. Bangalore had been soaking in rain for nearly two months straight, and the morning felt like it carried the last remnants of the night. But I woke up feeling refreshed, ready to embrace the day with energy and a light heart. Instinctively, I reached for my phone, which had been charging beside my bed. Though I could plug it in anywhere else, I kept it here, using the excuse that it doubled as my alarm clock. As I unplugged it and walked towards the kitchen, the first thing I did was open BBC News, then CNN, and finally glanced at the news flash on Google. By the time I reached the kitchen, scrolling through headlines, my mood had completely shifted. I had gone from feeling joyful and relaxed to worrying about hurricanes in the US, volcanoes erupting in far-off places, and the looming threat of a global conflict. In just ten minutes, my mind was flooded with anxiety over the state of the world and the uncertain future our children...

Why Teenagers Don’t Talk to Their Parents (and What We Can Do About It)

Few months back during a conversation with my 19 year old I was trying to understand where we as parents are missing out to connect with our teenage children. Interestingly the more he shared the more I was in surprise as to how much we miss. I have tried to narrow down what we discussed in below points.    Why teenagers don’t talk to their parents Parents' Authority and Lack of Acknowledgment In the past, when kids tried to express themselves, parents often responded with authority, shutting down the conversation without really listening. This teaches many teenagers that their parents wouldn’t understand or value what they have to say. As a result, they keep things to themselves, assuming their thoughts and feelings won’t be acknowledged. Fear of Being Vulnerable Teenagers also worry about being judged or criticized if they tell the truth. Being honest can make them feel exposed and vulnerable, and they fear negative reactions. This fear makes them less likely to open up, kee...

The Power of 'No': Cultivating Compassionate Communication Through Parenting

How often do we hear the words "yes" and "no" each day? Take a moment to reflect on the journey between these responses. The spectrum ranges from a firm "No" to someone who can't say "No," to those who sugarcoat their response, and finally to those who easily say "Yes." Think of a time when you made a heartfelt request, filled with love and care, only to be met with a plain "No." The impact of that two-letter word can be so strong that it takes the entire day to recover, as the emotional shift it causes is intense. Let's also consider the perspective of the person who says "No." Their brain interprets the request in a way that triggers memories or survival instincts. This makes the word "No" carry a deeper, heavier feeling. There will be many times in our lives when we might disagree with what someone is asking of us. The crucial part is how we express our response. This skill can be nurtured by par...
