Everything in cosmic system including mother earth was governed by inscrutable law of karma… as we sow so shall we reap nothing less or more.

When a human being awakens fully, it was not like the report card or achieving a grade! We never get to know what happened.

If sitting in the company of a climber just returning from Mount Everest would equalize my climbing Mount Everest or a bud in the presence of a flower could make it a full-blown flower… then need for evolution would not have existed. Spiritual path demands our evolving from within. The evolution process takes its own time. Spiritual awakening could not […]
Indulge in positive thinking all the time. If total mankind indulged in positive thinking… the whole world would convert to Satyuga (golden era) that very moment.
