 Eternal optimism 




Is it possible to be 


positive, after 


All that is happening 


Around the world 


asked a friend.


Knowing why it is


Directed at me, 


Prepared myself to


Reply suitably.


Readymade answer 


Would be, humanity 


Moves forward always


Never moves backwards 


Reached this far, from


Barbaric stone age 


Upto now.


In some primitive traits


 Would never fade away. True.


Still the majority is civil


And sober and only a very 


few work and act with the likes


Of Epstein - 


It gives one a feeling 


Of despair about future 


No denying the despondency


Human History is replete


With all such kinds of demons


This is Nothing new 


All hope is not lost


Better future lies ahead


These things come to light


Itself a progress 


Let's hope and pray


We defeat all satanic


Elements within us


To make the world safe


And free for all.


Miniature universe


One large fusion 

Of atoms and chemical 

Actions become human,

Says science 

Human consciousness 

Acts like a mirror 

To the universe itself

Though it is only a tiny bit.

Collection of spiritual thoughts

Collection of spiritual thoughts  This collection is not a work of academic theory,  but a record of a lifelong inquiry.     Since my childhood, the awareness of our shared mortality has been the "traversing influencer" of my path.        I have spent decades exploring the tension between the transient world and the indestructible reality that underlies it.          These verses trace a map: from the realization of Oneness to the practical mastery of the Breath, and from the historical struggles of the Dhamma to the ultimate liberation found in Yogic practice.      It is my hope that these words serve as a "Pleasure Pot"—a vessel of peace for those who are still seeking a way to bliss in life.. LIFE This early dawn  Flashed a spark in mind As I read a book on hermits Oh! Why do we exist Just for the heck of it ? Isn't there more ... True being alive is basic  Knowing the inner conscious core n...

Gandhi and Karl Marx: A New Perspective ​Based on the Essays of Akeel Bilgrami ​It is a widely accepted view that Mahatma Gandhi and Karl Marx represent polar opposites. Common understanding suggests that Marxist scholars and Gandhians occupy entirely different worlds, with many many adamant that there is no possible point of convergence between the two. ​However, according to Akeel Bilgrami , a philosopher and professor at Columbia University, there are profound areas of agreement. While they may appear to have no similarities on the surface, Bilgrami establishes a connection through specific philosophical interpretations. ​The Leftist Critique of Gandhi ​Left-wing scholars, both in India and globally, have historically leveled harsh criticisms against Gandhi. Yet, there is a growing insistence that a serious, original "left-leaning" essence should be extracted from his writings and actions to foster new debates. ​Bilgrami acknowledges that Gandhi did not use the trad...

Yuval Noah Harari's "Nexus" - points to ponder   Yuval Noah Harari’s recent book, Nexus, explores the history of human communication. As a renowned historian, Harari provides a sweeping narrative of how humanity evolved from the early days of the telegraph to the present information revolution. The Power of Information Networks Large-scale information networks are the primary reason for human success. Homo sapiens created powerful structures through imagination—not just machines, but religions and ideologies. However, Harari notes that these often bring unintended consequences; religions, for instance, have sometimes flooded the world with blood instead of the intended love and joy. As humans shared more information, living standards generally improved. For example, a child's survival rate beyond age 15 was only 50% in Germany in 1797; today, it is 99.5% (with a world average of 96.5%). While technology has granted us unprecedented access—every smartphone contains mo...
