GESTALT
Osho introduced me to the profound German word Gestalt, which signifies an organized whole perceived as greater than the sum of its parts.
To me, Gestalt represents my unique perspective—the lens through which I see the world. Yours may be different, and that’s perfectly fine.
Osho beautifully articulates:
“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
Storytelling has been a part of me since childhood. Whenever I come across a thought-provoking story, an insightful anecdote, or a profound idea, I feel an irresistible urge to share it with friends. Even in my professional journey, I embraced Management by Storytelling—a practice that proved both effective and engaging.
Dr. Gunawant Shah, the renowned essayist, philosopher, and columnist, once reflected that while some great masters ignite the light of wisdom in the hearts of their disciples, others simply act as conduits—absorbing that wisdom and passing it along.
I find myself in the latter role—not as a source of wisdom, but as a seeker drawn to the insights of great masters like Osho. Their words illuminate my path, and when something resonates deeply, I feel compelled to share it. In that sense, I see myself as a mirror—reflecting the light I receive, hoping it might spark something meaningful for others, just as it has for me.
“Gestalt – My Reference Point” was born out of the encouragement and selfless support of my dear friends—Anniruddha Nanivadekar, Nikhil Gundale, Sudhakar Dasoju, and Arun Agrawal, Founder and CEO of EbizIndia Consulting. Their belief in me, their generosity of spirit, and their unwavering support have been instrumental in shaping this journey. I am deeply grateful.
