GESTALT
Osho introduced me to the beautiful German word “Gestalt,” which means an organized whole that is perceived as more than the sum of its parts.
For me, Gestalt represents ‘my point of view’—the unique perspective I have from where I stand. Your Gestalt could be different, and that’s perfectly fine.
Osho says, “God and you are just Gestalts. When you are present, God remains hidden. When you disappear, He becomes manifest. When you return, He becomes hidden again. Your very presence conceals Him; it functions as a cloud.
Enjoy this process, allow it, and love it. Spend more and more time in this state. Whenever you have a moment, don’t waste it elsewhere. Close your eyes and be empty. Soon, the beauty of it will be revealed to you. Gradually, you will taste a new wine—absolutely new, because you have never known it before. Though it has always been there, you have never contacted it until now. It will intoxicate you and make you ecstatic. You will be transformed through it.”
The Blog
I’ve loved storytelling since childhood. Whenever I come across a compelling story, anecdote, or thought, I’m always eager to share it with friends. Even in the workplace, I practiced Management By Storytelling, and it proved to be effective.
Dr. Gunawant Shah, an esteemed essayist, educationist, columnist, and philosophy writer from Gujarat, India, once said that there are great masters who can ignite the light of wisdom in the hearts of their disciples, and others who reflect this wisdom, knowledge, and content.
“Gestalt – My Reference Point” was born thanks to the support of my dear friends Anniruddha Nanivadekar, Nikhil Gundale, Sudhakar Dasoju, and Arun Agrawal, Founder and CEO of EbizIndia Consulting. I am deeply indebted to them for their encouragement and selfless support.
