Quote by AVIS Viswanathan

“The human mind is a battlefield. It is your personal, and the real, Kurukshetra. This is where you can – and must – gain complete control of your daily Life; no matter what your circumstances are. And taming the mind, and training it, requires that you practice daily silence periods, doing only what you love doing. This a daily process. And there’s no one-time achievement of mastery over your mind that you can claim. It is not like a course that you complete and receive a certification upon completion. You must actively engage in this practice – daily, every single day. Each day you must train your mind. You must train it again, and again, and again. Only this non-negotiable process holds the key to your inner peace and Happiness.”

“Anything can happen in Life. Absolutely anything. When you try to approach a challenging situation in your Life with logic, and try to reason why things are the way they are, you will often not find the answers you are looking for. That’s when you will awaken to the inscrutability and suchness of Life. And it is in accepting the suchness of Life that you discover inner peace and Happiness.”

“Not Evolved For Peace (The Sonnet) Human mind has not evolved to find peace, It has evolved to be anxious, insecure and panic. In the jungle once you let your guard down, To the predator you shall end up as dinner meat. Which means to be at peace and to make peace, We gotta go against our most natural tendency. We gotta nourish the feeble spark of civility within, To transform the norm from cruelty to humanity. Biologically, cruelty is our first nature, And that's where all the trouble begins. We gotta know we are more animal than human, To discover ways to tame the animal inklings. Human mind may not have evolved to be at peace. But if we are willing to be the civilized anomaly, slowly but surely we shall foster all necessary peace.”

“Little Cinder Girl, they can't understand you. You rise from the as-heap in a blaze and only then do they recognize you as their one true love. While you pray beneath your mother's tree you carrve a phoenix into your palm wth aa hazel twig and coal; every night she devours more of you. You used to believe in angels. Now you believe in the makeover; if you can't get the grime off your face and your foot into a size six heel who will ever bother to notice you? The kettle and the broom sear in your grasp, snap into fragments. The turtledoves sing, "There's blood within the shoe." You deserve the palace, you think, as you signal the pigeons to attack, approve the barrel filled with red-hot nails. Its great hearth beckons, and the prince's flag rises crimson in the angry sun. He will love you for the heat you generate, for the flames you ignite around you, though he encase your tiny feet in glass to keep them from scorching the ground.”
