Category: The School Of Life!

Life is an endless voyage!! A voyage for which even the skilled mariner cant build a compass predicting the exact directions it may take! No cartographer has ever drawn an atlas locating the territories we may travel to! Because in the voyage of life your fortunes will travel up north one Sunday and on Monday it will head south bringing you misfortunes! You might have planned ahead to reach the summit but the voyage of life would have another plans taking you to uncharted territories when you least expect it! The Schools or the Streets don’t provide you answers for the questions life throws at you!! Not Self help books but the Past masters who summed up the meaning of life succinctly in beautiful verses are your Beacons of Hope here! Through their clairvoyance they convey great lessons about what really matters in life aphoristically but cryptically of course!!

Expose yourself to your deepest fear;

after that,

fear has no power,

and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes.

You are free.

Poetry is the breath and finer

spirit of all knowledge;

it is the impassioned expression

which is the countenance of all science.

All the powers in the universe

are already ours.

It is we who have put our hands

before our eyes and cry that it is dark.

तदा द्रष्ट् स्वरूऩऽवस्थानभ ॥ ३ ॥
tada drashtuh svaroope avasthanam

English translation -At that time (the time of concentration) the seer (the
Purasa) rests in his own (unmodified) state.

meaning – As soon as the waves have stopped, and the lake has become
quiet, we see the ground below the lake. So with the mind;
when it is calm, we see what our own nature is; we do not mix
ourself but remain our own selves.

OM: the symbol of the Three in One,

the three worlds in the Soul;

the three times, past, present, future, in Eternity;

the three Divine Powers, Creation, Preservation, Transformation,

in the one Being;

the three essences, immortality, omniscience, joy, in the one Spirit.

This is the Word, the Symbol,

of the Master and Lord, the perfected Spiritual Man.

― Patañjali, The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

The purpose of life, therefore,

is the realizing of that prophecy;

the unveiling of the immortal man;

the birth of the spiritual from the psychical,

whereby we enter our divine inheritance and come to inhabit Eternity.

This is, indeed, salvation,

the purpose of all true religion, in all times.
