Is Spirituality a ‘Weird People’ Thing?

The aura of an esoteric life came crumbling down in front of their eyes. I could do nothing about it. — I don’t exactly remember when this was — it could be around 2001 or 2002, around the time I was beginning to shed childhood.

Are Results and Rewards the Only Rationale of Life?

Is it still a selfless act of kindness if done only with the objective of keeping your own conscience happy? 4:00 am on the kind of day where the advance of hours goes unnoticed. Still awake, I sit on my bed resting my back on the headboard, listening to my…

Calculated Decisions or a Leap of Faith?

Faith is as disembodied, as calculations are distinct. A look back at life will throw open a very random and chequered history of the dominance of one over the other, for no apparent or justifiable reason. Last night, very much into the annals of the pre-dawn hours, I still tossed in troubled wakefulness. In front of my sleepless…

5 Reasons Why a Sense of Achievement Is Difficult to Achieve on the Spiritual Path

I had known Brishti back in my Varanasi days. I am trying to recall something about her — any conversation we might have had, a cursory greeting exchanged while crossing each other in the corridor. What did she wear to the class? Was she a bright student? Nothing comes to…

A Short Insight From an Ancient Spiritual Conversation

A Short Insight From an Ancient Spiritual Conversation “Even as in this world no great changes take place before the coming into being of their cause, viz., the cosmic elements; changes like anger, despondency and joy do not manifest in the behaviour of the noble ones without proper cause.” Lines…

Are Prejudices Robbing You of Higher Spiritual Possibilities?

Research after research, one thing that has been proven over and again is that spirituality helps. It helps the one fighting the monkey mind, as well as the one fighting mercenaries in the world. And even a very casual study of oriental philosophies will tell you that there is no…

A Peanut Battles the New World Existential Crisis

Why peanut? The association dates back to three decades before COVID-19 hit the world. On sultry evenings after my father came back from his office at exactly 5pm, he would take my mother and the little me out to the hilltop behind our house, in our little town of Ranchi…

4 Legitimate Lessons from the Last Day of Quarantine

It was me who had prayed upon the midnight countdown for a ‘positive’ start to the new year. But, sometimes words end up being funny and making a tragi-comedy of your life. Barely three days into the promising 2022 — the year when we hoped that the century’s pandemic would…

Growing or growing out — what is the strategy of life?

Growing or growing out — what is the strategy of life? To grow is life; to stop, death. A statement of universal acceptance and no contest. However, it was some years ago when I began pondering what exactly I can grow into. Can I grow into a super successful person, a super fit person, a person with the biggest bank balance…
