She was perturbed. She thought the only thing that could protect her was her prayers. He thought that her silly superstitions and worries would fade away. She had the ability to survive any circumstance, especially when left without a choice. She had the endurance and resilience of a good human being. She wanted to start […]

Listening to the soundless voice
External form has no alternative but to express inner beauty. At first sight, the world may appear to collapse when “perspective” collapses, a frightening experience with fascinating results. If truth be told, it is often most wise to stay clear of one’s own mind’s machinations. A sincere seeker’s movement is a right move to the […]
The purpose of religion in human life
What I have personally experienced and observed is that the purest and most adored knowledge, poetry and artistic creativity have been inspired by signs from the divine. When we look deeply into western philosophy, we often find that individuals have, in essence, re-processed religious texts using different words, thereby removing the core of the divine […]
The beginning of the path
This is an amusing world full of fast-talking, fast-moving midgets who operate vast communication systems gathering and relaying information.

We need to change our view of life
At times we may feel saddened, baffled, confused, and genuinely not know why certain things happen to us. We may push ourselves so hard for a few days or weeks, or even months, like an animal fighting for the right to its nature, trying to break free, to break things up completely. As a result, […]
Ceaseless Passion
Violent thundering storms cut through my soul Carving into the bone of reason, setting it free Shattering illusions of darkness, casting light inside light Felt with vibrating collisions of warmth and chill in all senses My heart joins you Like rivers join ocean waves Like clouds of salt thrown wild in the heat of summer […]
