To seek shelter in these moments is to recognize the limits of control and to respect the intelligence of time itself. There are moments when wisdom does not demand action, but restraint.

Mental Pathways
Wandering the pathways of the mind,I entered forests of quiet creation,Marshlands of unreal depths,And gardens ripened by time. There were fields where ideas took root,Streams where emotions whispered and flowed,Fears clustered like a restless hive,And a lone thought, stubborn, heavy, and slow.

You are not preparing to live, you are already alive. The breath in your lungs is the only permission slip you need. Stop waiting. Start being. We all crave existence. We go to incredible lengths to validate ourselves, to appear interesting, acceptable, or unique in the eyes of others. We craft identities, chase achievements, and meticulously curate how we are …

The Bhagavad Gītā teachings begin not in peace, but in confusion, and there lies its eternal relevance. Before wisdom dawns, there must be a crisis profound enough to shake the foundations of false certainty. Arjuna’s trembling bow, his tears, his inability to act, these are not signs of weakness, but of awakening. For only when one truly confronts one’s inner …
