We don’t really get what great masters say, because we are unaware that we are already aware. When a teacher says, “step back” and you step back, and you say, “I see it”, you are witnessing it; when you step back, and say, “I am feeling sad”, you are it. You and the mind are […]

The mind, as how a kindred spirit puts it is like a frog’s tongue, spitting out of the month continuously, to stick on any bug; or thing, in the mind’s case; to put it in its mouth. It is constantly contacting something, as in anything that is outside of itself in search for something. Not […]

Do you believe that truth can be but some illusions? They are dreams because they are not true.

Many people tend brand meditation to a lotus sitting position. It is a misconstrued idea that meditation means sitting on a cushion, with eyes closed, doing nothing.

There are only two types of perceptions which one can subscribe to – ignorance or wisdom. We don’t like to think that we are ignorant. The good news is, it is not us which are ignorant. It is the perception which has ignorance in it that makes us look like it, or rather allows our […]
