A thing being a beauty, The thing may be someone’s But the beauty is common to all. When it is destroyed the loss Is to all who had perceived as well. When a man is under attack, He may not be anybody’s But his helplessness affects And generates pity in others. 17.01.2019

Shiva is male and Sakthi is female To a naked eye that a child possesses. Shiva is matter and Sakthi is energy To the rational eye of an adult. Shiva and Sakthi both are energy- The potential and the kinetic To the scientific eye of the learned. The self is a part of both energies To the intuitional eye of the wisdom. Praying to God is, hence, praying to Self, Which the enlightened don’t do. 17.01.2019

Stretch your hand if you want to help someone. If not, fold your hands and block not one’s path. Humans are different only in degrees And not in kind, and see them a kind of you. 12.01,2019

He failed to influence police. He failed to influence prosecution. He failed to get the judges. He landed in jail at last. He could influence the jailor. The jailor made it to him As if he was in his house. The victim was happy That the offender suffered. Money cannot be punished. 12.01,2019

Tethered by the past, enslaved by routines, Battered by the struggle of the living And a victim of conditioning imposed By the society, man is a caged beast. Human is bound by hard mentality As the pack evokes safety and compromise. There is a descending force at work, Moulding the personality of a man. One needs to give oneself to this force. If one is open, this force can function, Going deeply into his nervous cell, Which one can consciously experience. There is a process of inner alignment. An individuality grows in shape, With persistence, and the wholeness develops, ‘You know yourself’ as Socrates pronounced. 08.01.2019

When you feel seeing someone’s sufferings, It is sympathy, from where is born compassion, The feeling of empathy and kindness For suffering or anguish of others. Compassion is the root of ahimsa. Ahimsa is by deed or word not harming. Compassion is the cure of suffering. Sans compassion, society lacks safety. 04.01.2019

Do you like pain or sorrow to sustain? If said yes, you lie; if said no, you lie not. If said yes, can you inflict pain and sorrow When it is unwarranted on your part? ‘Nothing that exists, possessing life, Be destroyed or subjugated, Harmed or denied of its existence.’, Said Mahavir in the Acaranga Sutra. 04.01.2019

Fear of running is from fear of falling. Fear of driving is from fear of dashing. Fear of marriage is from fear of commitment. Fear is the risk intended, not at hand. The risk is a possibility factor. Fear deprives you of dangers and chances. 03.01.2019

For love to pour, the object of the love Need not be present; even contacts do. Love is a quality to spend. Life is simply life longing for love. It can be parental and sexual love. Homo sexual love is not different. One side love is not inferior as well. Love manifests in intimate friendships. The people you love are mere stimuli. Love failure is not the end of love. Divorce and widowhood are not love’s end. Love is like seeing; any object will do. 03.01.2019
