Once, my revered friend Joachim, in the School of Awakening, who I get to learn so many spiritual insights from, shared his question about the word gratitude. He said, “Why should we be grateful? It seems that gratitude can only result from a certain kind of thoughts about the past – friendly ones, nevertheless thoughts”.…

It is the river which brings the people together, gives them a purpose to live, a meaning to their living. A river, since ages, has been a silent witness to so many civilizations from Mesopotamia to India. On its way, she “accepts” everything right from creeks, waterfalls, the water from beneath the soil, rocks and…

If we carefully observe Uncertainty, we realise that we have only 2 ways to deal with it. Fear it. Or have Faith in it. By now, you might have observed from my blogs, that I have innumerable wonderments about our Fondness. Fondness with Success, with Categorising, with a Leader, with generalising views, etc. There is…
