      A perfect symphony from the heart

From Stress to Bliss

     Author: Venkatesh N. Chakravarty

This is a book from the heart, inspired by the warmth of gratitude, compassion, empathy, resilience, and

selflessness. It is served with humility and a love for humanity. A state of bliss can be experienced by learning

to compose a perfect symphony from the heart. No symphony sounds better than the flute of compassion, the

violin of empathy, the piano of gratitude, and the beautiful chords and rhythm of selfless service, which spring

from the bottom of the heart.

  A short note from the author

                             Serving with humility

I am deeply grateful to each one of you for taking the time to listen to my thoughts in this book.

If any part of this book happens to be thought-provoking enough to initiate decisive action, you will see a major transformation in your life.

Our lives are enriched when we try to enrich the lives of others who need it, and also nurture the environment of our wonderful planet Earth, which urgently needs our attention and sustained effort.  

The realisation that life has a meaning will awaken us to a new dawn. The meaning of life is realised when a higher purpose comes into being.

There is a subtle difference between happiness and bliss. Happiness is always welcome, but fleeting. All moments of happiness are indeed to be cherished, for those moments are precious.

However, bliss is experienced differently and is not momentary. A state of bliss is an experience in itself. Each of us has a vast reservoir of rich, deep mines within us. A state of bliss can be experienced by tapping these precious mines within us. Interestingly, the contents of these mines do not deplete; they grow in value as they are increasingly offered and shared among people. Such mines contain within them an eternally rich vein of compassion, empathy, gratitude, humility, selflessness and resilience. When these invaluable contents are used for a higher purpose, they become extraordinary gifts that can transform a person’s life and the world.

The ripple effect can be felt by many hearts, which will resonate and echo to demonstrate the divinity of humanity, in terms of deeds rather than mere words.

On a parallel course, in a world of duality, it is equally important to develop awareness and mental strength to acknowledge and let go completely of greed, the pain of rejection, failure, and obsession with results. This will mark a good beginning in moving towards a state of bliss. When this process of transformation begins from deep within, it will be the miracle of a lifetime.

Everything begins with awareness and understanding, followed by a conviction that the chosen path is

appropriate for a major inner transformation and eventually experiencing a state of bliss.
