Heard, "This planet is in a great crisis".
Of the Earth's 8.7 million species, only one is threatened by the virus. The millions other species are celebrating exactly because man's violent freedom has been checked.
The Earth is way bigger than our self-obsesssd little specie.

If a love affair goes wrong, it was something else appearing like love.
If a love affair goes wrong, it means one has never loved.

There are voices - from right and left, from industrialists and politicians, and from the general public - for quick restoration of 'normal life'.
What exactly is this 'normal life'?
Were we so contended/pleased with 'normal life' that we are now dying(pun) to get it back?

Seeing the outrage on media web over the elephant's murder, one feels consoled.
Only till one scrolls to find a huge ad of fresh rabbit flesh on the same site.
Many celebs mourning over the elephant have proud pics of chicken-mutton on their timelines.

Only man has freedom
Only man has choice
Only man has intellect
Only man can be evil.
Without wisdom, freedom is evil.
Wisdom isn't biological/general; requires deep effort.
Has wisdom-less freedom raised man, or turned him evil?
Evil destroys, suffers. Now look at the world.

Those wanting to reach
a far-away Truth
must first see the evil
right under their nose.
Those seeking
a distant light
must first see
the darkness within.
All search must be

Truth is not an object
to be searched.
Truth lies in seeing
the evil within as evil.

Isn't it beautiful to relate to the other without being psychologically dependent?
If the other exists in your life to serve your needs, then there can be no love. There would be a lot of attachment, dependency, clutching and suffering instead.
Dependence strangulates love.

The one who calls himself lonely is actually never 'lonely'.
Such a person always has his own company. He keeps his little personal concerns to accompany him.
He is quite occupied. The entire world is in his mind.
To be lonely is to be crowded within.

One stubbornly stands at the center of his world. And because one is limited, everything about him, including his love, is also limited.
Hence everything about a man can be bought and sold.
There's a pricetag on everything. Everything limited can be captured in a number.

Empowering a person without elevating his consciousness is like giving power in hands of Satan.
Man is defined by consciousness, so empowerment must firstly be about elevation of consciousness.

Even with their love for darkness, many are seen approaching light.
It is not the charm of brightness that pulls them to light - Ask the light sources smashed by the dark.
Let light not be overjoyed when darkness begs it for company. Darkness, to further itself, needs light.

Foolishness is to be cunning, and think that cunningness is beneficial.
Ignorance is to not realise the cunning one as cunning, and fall prey to him.
Wisdom is seeing the foolishness in cunningness, and remaining innocent of cunningness.

Grace is available to you unconditionally, but not compulsorily.
She would come to your doorstep,and knock.
She will wait,not break open your door.
Answer the knock quickly,or the knock keeps getting dimmer and infrequent.

Nobody ever sells you anything except hope.
A promise is what you buy.
Every product is a promise – of love, of contentment, of freedom.

Before freedom of choice,
we need a free chooser.
A conditioned and self-unaware chooser is internally a slave to a thousand masters.
Freedom of choice to an internally enslaved person is just feel-good self-delusion.
Be internally free.All external choices will be in freedom.

The environment doesn't need to be managed.
We rather need to treat the mind that deals with the environment. A mind devoid of self-knowledge will be inevitably destructive.

What stays in your memory becomes important for you.
One's memory is one's life, and fate.
Memory should be like a temple. Only the purest and the best permanently remain there. Others come and go, but are not allowed to stay.

When your biggest happiness
Lies in the other gender
Then instead of happiness
You get something very expensive.

We owe ourselves to be happy
And if happiness is so important
Shouldn't we be careful enough

There is Homo Sapiens and there are other species. In man's ego, these other species exist just for man's sake; hence we exploit them in all ways. Spirituality, instead, is about checking the ego.

In the universe,equality doesn't exist. We bring in the concept of equality to prevent exploitation.
If one can be good only to his equals,it's a very calculated goodness.
Exploitation is not due to lack of equality, but due to lack of spirituality.

Glaciers don't just randomly break and fall. Global Warming(GW) is causing glaciers to melt at a scorching rate.
What causes GW?
1. A lifestyle based on insane consumption.
2. Overpopulation.

Exactly as it is.
