Yesterday we took a ride on a country road nearby, and everything we saw around us was stunningly beautiful. Nature was her glorious Self. And given the quote by the neuroscientist and author Abhijit Naskar, all the beauty we saw was a reflection of what is already, and always has been, deep within us. There is only one Self.

If Nancy and I had been quarrelling, lost in thought, or worrying and anxious, we would have been oblivious of that beauty that surrounded us. And we would be oblivious of the beauty within us. The mirror would be unable to reflect the beauty that’s deep within.

May the beauty of Autumn inspire awe and wonder.

May the beauty of Autumn remind you of the beauty that you are.

May the beauty of Autumn remind you of the beauty of the ones you love and even of the ones you don’t.

May you be Grateful for every reminder.

Nature is giving you plenty of reminders today.

Get out there, and stay in touch of what’s in “here” – within you!

Namaste!
