“In liberation, you stand alone. You stand alone because you need no supports of any kind. You need no supports because you have realized that the very notion of a separate you no longer exists, that there is nothing to support, that the whole ego experience was a flimsy illusion. So you stand alone but are never, never lonely because everywhere you look, all you see is That, and you are That.”

No one is around then as we leave them far behind during our pursuit of success.”

Learn to love!”
“In life and especially marriage, many individuals come from homes that they're well versed and know how to be loved, but unfortunately know nothing about how to love others. We continually receive love from our parents, siblings, cousins, grannies, closer and distant relatives, friends, teachers, leaders and everybody else that we get so entitled to be loved. It the process we lose the art and science of loving other people and we just expect only to receive from them.

“In life and especially marriage, many individuals come from homes that they're well versed and know how to be loved, but unfortunately know so little about how to love others. They continually receive love from our parents, siblings, cousins, grannies, closer and distant relatives, friends, teachers, leaders, spouses and everybody else around them that they get overly entitled to love. In the process they lose the art and science of loving other individuals around their life and only expect to receive affection but never reciprocate it. Simply said they have lost the nerve for the cost of healthy or valuable relationship but selfishly do let it crumble in their hands. They just need to learn how to love!”

Carry the Lotus within; grow and rise above from the harsh and remorseless world beneath you.”

“In life, humans are propelled by uncertainty—by the ignorance and blindness of what lies ahead. We cling to the hope that our paths will eventually intersect with the dreams we dare to dream, or perhaps only a few of them. Yet, we often overlook the sobering truth that none of our dreams may come true. The likelihood of our dreams being fulfilled is no greater than the likelihood of them remaining elusive.
Of course, this notion only holds if we disregard the countless variables that shape our journey: our work, our passion, our time, and countless other forces we exert upon the world. But if we were to abandon these factors, what would remain? Would a life lived without purpose, without the striving, carry us higher than the dreams we had for ourselves?
Perhaps our dreams are not the stars we aim for, but rather limits we impose upon our potential, boundaries we dare not cross. Yet we can never truly know, for one cannot live without the presence of purpose. It is purpose that grants meaning, that enables us to sleep at night and rise each morning.
Purpose is the very embodiment of the human journey. It is the compass that guides us through triumphs and trials, that molds our identities, and fosters a fleeting sense of fulfillment. And yet, this fulfillment is ephemeral, as transient as everything else in this world. Our purpose may, in time, lead us astray—toward a misperception of ourselves, a false image of reality, or a gnawing sense of emptiness.
Ultimately, it is not purpose or dreams that drive us. It is uncertainty. It is the unpredictable, the unknown, that propels us forward. We live not to reach a particular destination, but to witness the unfolding of what may come. It is, perhaps, the greatest absurdity: that meaning can be found only where no meaning lies.”
