Quote by AVIS Viswanathan

“Following your Bliss holds you up when you are falling apart. Your Bliss is your Life’s Special Purpose Vehicle. Pain, darkness, confusion, chaos…all of them are integral to the process of Life. But following your Bliss offers you that opportunity to escape, to dissolve in the moment…and to find meaning, Purpose and Happiness …no matter how challenging the circumstances are!”

“People, places, events – they have a way of curiously being arranged for you, for a reason. And you often can and will find that reason only in hindsight. Sometimes they are more evident, sometimes they happen in a paradoxical way – which is, you may not want something but what’s happening is Life’s way of getting you to where you must arrive, of making you who you must be.”

“Families, parents and society must evolve. As long as someone is not destructive, they have a right to experience Life their way, making choices they want, living on their terms. Their stumbling, falling, learning, discovering, experimenting…is part of their entitlement, it is part of their adventure. Now, should family or friends wish to share perspectives, they may do that but not with an expectation that the point of view will be considered, appreciated, accepted or implemented. So, by-invitation- only parenting is a simple principle to embrace! Of course, honest conversations always help…should everyone be willing to engage meaningfully.”

“Bliss is not an abstract, unattainable state or quality. You will experience Bliss when you do what you love doing. Each of us has a special spiritual talent. Doing that one activity, honing that talent, makes us lose ourselves – in that state worry, sadness, worldly challenges, physical pain…all these dissolve and you are soaked in Happiness! That state is Bliss…and it is available to you if you choose not to postpone Happiness and you go do what you love doing!”

“It is possible to live in this world and yet be above it! When Life’s upheavals stump you, choose to be non-complaining. The way to do this is to hold up what the iconic Tamizh poet Kannadasan has said, “Sothanai mel sothanai, pothum ada Saami” (Enough of the upheavals, O! Lord!!) and to embrace the legendary statesman Rajaji’s (in MS' voice) philosophy, “Kurai Ondrum Illai...!” (I have no complaints!). This is how you not only survive a tough time, this is how you thrive in it – experiencing the beauty of reality and the miracle of grace!”

“Sometimes complex Life situations will bring you to your knees. The only option then is to not fight Life, but to surrender to it, to flow with it. Because you don’t know what to do. Well, what do you do when you don’t know what to do? When you flow with Life, you will always be taken to where you must arrive – without friction, without resistance, peacefully.”
