Perpetual Prayer
“You can study God through everything and
everyone in the universe,
because God is not confined in a
Mosque, Synagogue, or Church.
But if you are still in need of knowing
where exactly His abode is,
there is only one place to look for Him:
In the heart of a true lover.”
Shamsi Tabrizi
(the spiritual instructor of Rumi)

the law of optics is reversed;
we see the most indistinctly the objects
which are close around us.”

Arrow of Illusion
“He who knows that this body is like froth,
and has learnt that it is as
unsubstantial as a mirage,
will break the flower-pointed arrow of illusion,
and never see the king of death.”

sing wild songs of adventure,
invite rainbows & butterflies out to play,
soar my spirit, and unfurl my joy.”

what we want to conceal.”

Spectacular Flight
“Every individual has to give himself what he needs to grow. Believe in your dreams. Have faith & hope in what you wanted in your life. In the end, have patience & keep loving yourself & your life every single moment. Once, you will see the manifestation of your desires, then you will understand how the law of universe works. Try this… It is simple to apply & be sure that you don’t keep any sort of doubts in your mind because it hampers the whole process.”
Tejas Patel
Nature’s Depth
“It was not that the jagged precipices
were lofty, that the encircling woods were
the dimmest shade, or that the waters were
profoundly deep; but that over all,
rocks, wood, and water, brooded the spirit of repose,
and the silent energy of nature stirred
the soul to its inmost depths.”
Thomas Cole
Blue Dew
“I am still determined to be cheerful and happy,
in whatever situation I may be;
for I have also learned from experience that
the greater part of our happiness or misery
depends upon our dispositions,
and not upon our circumstances.”
Martha Washington
