Why the Criticisms

People abhor criticisms and people who have been thoughtfully criticizing (they are never addressed as critics, but unwanted judgemental people), pointing to a course correction for humanity; be it in educating more than the institutionalized lectures, to understand human feelings more compassionately, to communicate with people without partisan views, who can enhance your knowledge and vice versa. Remember, before any religion, politics and business, it … Continue reading Why the Criticisms

Brief, But True Moments

For a brief moment, the murkiness was washed away by early light Only to awake and rush towards the pristine scenery; absorbing the tranquility Daring to stay positive in a  transient time that brings happiness Unforgettable vibes of ancient awakening still rhythms through Whoever has drifted and chosen otherwise to believe in a continuum of darkness Preached about struggles, and how banished all those beautiful … Continue reading Brief, But True Moments

Erosion of honesty and integrity is lessening the compassionate qualities and coercing minds towards unnecessary aggression.  If you honestly … Continue reading Etiquette

To the Messenger

One can dream of traveling with the winds They visit from nowhere with fresh messages  The trusted interlocutor Ask about the teacher who sends words of wisdom Seeking nothing in return Only keen ears and open minds to comprehend Truth is never easy to accept Heart may sigh and turn away for a while Never mind, the wind will visit again Universe is compassionate towards the … Continue reading To the Messenger
