“A king often saw a white pigeon visiting his garden. It would fly away whenever he tried to approach it. He won its trust after great efforts and brought it to his palace. Soon after everything started going wrong in his life. He never doubted the pigeon for this. In fact he would cry before it and say, "You are the only good thing remaining in my life." How could he doubt someone whose trust he had won with great efforts?”

“There is a knock at the door. She feels a fear because opening the door makes her vulnerable. It could be a god or a devil, She is about to open the door but decides against it. She puts a double lock instead. Fear goes away. She feels relieved. Her mind rationalizes, “Phew! Fear proves that it was devil.” Fear comes from vulnerability of opening the door. It doesn’t tell who is at the door: a god or devil.”

(2) Your lover from heaven will turn out to be the devil from hell. (3) Circumstances will make you break the morals and values that are integral part of who you are.

And often the story repeats ... the enemies of your previous births create more havoc in your life disguised as friends.”

“Imagine that a scientist creates a human clone in a lab based on the genes of a real man called Raghu. It looks exactly like Raghu. Through virtual reality (VR), its mind is fed with experiences and memories of Raghu so that now it believes that it is Raghu. Now both of them -Raghu and the clone - behave exactly the same way. They cry on same things, laugh on same things. How would you find out which one of them has a soul?”

“In a movie, when a character receives a letter, she reads it aloud for the audience. Other characters of the movie can’t know the secret, but she tells it to the audience. Be the audience if you want to know the deepest secrets of the universe. Be the audience if you want to make sense of what is happening around you. Your character is the doer while your soul is the audience. Be at the level of soul more often.”
