“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;
Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action -
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”
― Rabindranath Tagore, Gitanjali

To win you have to make a move.
Knowing which move to make comes with IN-SIGHT

acculated along the way.

We become each and every piece within the game called life!”
― Allan Rufus, The Master's Sacred Knowledge

Birth as one slice,
and death as the other.
What you put in-between
the slices is up to you.

We frequently need to persevere with a period of inner turmoil before the dust can settle and be swept out the door.”
― Donna Goddard, The Love of Devotion

So we may once again arrive,

Oh how wonderful, how strange,
To see that everything is different
But know it's only you who's changed.”
― Erin Hanson

Who knows, you might find a cloud floating on a morning mist, carrying the missing pieces of your heart, lost in the chaos of Time, in the mad conundrum of Life, in the crazy hunt for a fairytale, in everything that needed you to leave, to leave for a safe place in Yourself.

Love & Light, always

Collision happens
Coz it’s meant to be this way”

“It is essential to understand that for humans to thrive as a healthy species, we must live in a society that nurtures the capacity to love one another. We need to live in a world that promotes unity instead of division, restraint and sacrifice over immediate gratification, and altruistic values rather than narcissistic ones. Unfortunately, our current culture is deeply entrenched in consumerism and hedonism, actively endorsing attitudes, values, and aspirations that are fundamentally at odds with the needs of our soul”
― Enric Mestre Arenas, THE MODERN WORLD AGAINST THE HUMAN SOUL: Exploring modernity's impact on the human spirit and well-being

“Sometimes, it's essential to take a moment to slow down and look at how far you've come. Like literally breathe in all the healing, all the changes that your Soul has embraced so far, the walk that once looked difficult and yet you went on with it, through it, only to come this far. It is essential to just remember how every small step you took led you to this moment, where some things that once bothered you do not find that trigger anymore, the places, the songs, the words, the elements of this material world that once brought you to your numbness have now lost its strong foothold on you, not that sometimes they won't leap in to make you feel a little vulnerable for the moment but essentially they've lost their ground. It's essential to appreciate that, to pat yourself on that.
While doing so, we would find the simplest understanding that in Life, we cannot have everything. Some things will get lost in the way, and some dreams will be left unfulfilled but the best part is, there is always going to be something to fill its place. All the things you've lost would lead you to all the things you will gain in the process. And maybe, just maybe if you take time to listen to your Soul, the things you would gain in the process of losing what you thought was necessary, are actually the real necessities of your Soul. It is when you literally Stop moving in your Mind and walk past its edges that you would know the truest meaning that was there all along, that in this Human Existence, we are not meant to have it all, to have all the dreams and yearnings accomplished, to have it all sorted, some things would always be left undone, and somewhere that holds the beauty of this Human Life, to know how far we've come and to find a sense of peace even in an insatiable mind, to know that We don't need to have it all figured out, but to hold space for Grace and Gratitude, to know Kindness for every passer by and most importantly for our own self. And to know, that Life is a Labyrinth of a winding Walk, and just like going ahead is necessary, taking a pause would actually replenish your will to keep taking the forward step in your journey. That Slowing Down doesn't actually leave you bereft of your Winning spirit, but lets you appreciate the Simplest Knowledge that Life is never about Winning or Losing but about Becoming the Core Self by unbecoming everything that this World soaked you in.

Love & Light, always

“Some burdens don't come to make you a Sisyphus. They come to show you the path to freedom.”

“Heartfelt Grace

The sun is shining bright today
there’s a darkness in my eyes
digging deep within myself
unwanted thoughts arrive.

This is the time Dear God
were we wonder deep inside
yearning for a world of peace
while darkness fills our mind.

Save us God from untamed hearts
may they find Love instead of hate
find their soul with heartfelt grace
will you guide them to this place.”
― Ron Baratono
