Razor's edge….
This is the greatest truth…the truth which I have realized……..the truth being reflected from everything……from a rose …..a flying bird…..flowing river…..shining sun…..animal being slaughtered…..students being failed…..those who are saved by a single mark……from the flute of Hariprasad…….Sarod of Amjad ali Khan…..Each water drop reflects this truth…..each bird sings this song……..We take a long to get…

Take me out of the boat……..
The real master is one,who does not solve all questions, but takes care that there is no question remaining. The same analogy works for a disciple also. A disciple is not the one who makes the progress,but the one who simply leaves the very idea of progress. This idea of saint tulsidaas,is really having a…

All our life is just a pretension……
Each and every human being lives in a myth that what he does is only the meaningful thing.Each and every human being,at the bottom of his heart feels that he is living his life honestly,that his search of truth in life is authentic.He honestly goes to the temple.Many a times he donates a lot.Whenever he crosses…

The fake Babas…..
This week was for Babas…..the fake Sadhus……… In India or anywhere in the world where too many parameters which are out of control of a particular human being play role,govern his life,Babas are born.These Babas or fake sages are nothing but outcome of the fact that ordinary man at such places has not even minimal…

Do we need a religion?
This is the question which was eating my mind for a long duration of time,which falls into months.A man should be from any kind of background or from any profession,he needs something on which he can hang up his load,or something which can be blamed for things that are not under his control.I would like…

Meetings with remarkable men is a really wonderful book. Too difficult too grasp even though it is made much simpler by gurdjieff,the author of the book and very famous mystic,famous for his absurd behavior.The book covers a lot of personalities which he calls as ‘remarkable’. Gurdjieff was really a remarkable mystic.He used every possible way…
