midwife to the awakening of the Soul in another person.”  ~ Plato

The Path

"Our first impression of life, when we start thinking about it is that it is a long stretch of obstacles. In very pragmatic terms it is so. Then we also gradually realize that something in us is instigating, initiating and responding and that we are changing; that we are following some sort of a path. Then we soon realize that the obstacles ARE the path." - Pradeep Pk Maheshwari

Myth

“Do not be satisfied with the stories that come before you. Unfold your own myth.” ― Rumi

Soul Mission

“Your soul mission is your reason for being, your life purpose. It’s your calling in life—who you feel called to be, what you feel called to do. Mission is an energy that flows through you—a drive, voice, or passion that you cannot ignore. Your mission is not an activity, but rather your fundamental reason for doing that activity. It’s what you know in your heart you must live if you are to experience inner peace and harmony”  – Alan Seale

Service & Love

"In life, it is never the big battle, the big moment, the big speech, the
big election. That does not change things. What changes things is every
day, getting up and rendering small acts of service and love beyond that
what's expected of you or required of you."  ~ Cory Booker

Busyness

"As the Buddhists say, after all, busyness is the absolute worst kind of laziness. When you are too busy, you can’t be alone with yourself, so you can never grow." - J. C. Peters

Death

‎''Death is a door, it is not a stopping. Awareness moves but your body remains at the door -- just as you have come here and left your shoes at the door. The body is left outside the temple, and your awareness enters the temple. It is the most subtle phenomenon, life is nothing before it. Basically life is just a preparation for dying, and only those are wise who learn in their life how to die. If you don't know how to die you have missed the whole meaning of life: it is a preparation, it is a training, it is a discipline. Life is not the end, it is just a discipline to learn the art of dying. But you are afraid, you are scared, at the very word death you start trembling. That means you have not yet known life, because life never dies. Life cannot die.'' - Osho
