Humans can be Less Alone with Empathy

No living thing appeared in earth or air, And, save the flowing water’s peaceful voice, Sound there was none - but, Lo! an uncouth shape. Shown by the sudden turning of the road, So near that slipping back into the shade Of a thick hawthorn, I could mark him well Myself unseen. He was of stature... Sign in to see full entry.

First, Find the Man Within You

Directed by the body of the mind Forgetting all sane, good teachings behind Our sense organs again and again follow Helplessly, committing sins after sins shallow Manifestations of our boggy innards Tendencies - those craggy cowards Generations of wombs violent Sired by consciousness somnolent...

William Collins, the Finest Song-bird of the Eighteenth Century Poets

The English poet laureate of the mid-eighteenth century, William Collins, was regarded by Swinburne as a solitary song-bird amidst the poets of his age. But, in the opinion of H.W. Garrod, Collins is not a singer, nor is there passion in his odes. Elevation his odes have, but the wings, fire, the... Sign in to see full entry.

Sacrifice - God’s Highest Ideal

Cool light! Arrows peaceful, Cupid-like, — doled out from the moon Gifts away its all - received from the sun, keeping none; it befits - An ailing eye benefits from rubbing the sole of the feet The belly says ‘thank you' to the hands that feed Nectarine rain from heavens is left thirsty unless it...

Isn’t Nature the Manifestation of Divine Mother— Love

Love is intrinsic to human nature, inherent in man It is there already, but dormant; all it needs Done is to awaken, uncover it, not acquire From without but unearth its source within Deep inside the earth connected is the sea, Oceans of riverine waters of life, unseen Effort is only to remove the...

Elegy in Deathless Devotion

It was after forty years in 1913 that Thomas Hardy revisited Cornwall, a county to the south of the English Channel, where he had first wooed his heartthrob, Emma, who had then died just a year before. This hallowed place of love where he had once experienced the joys of life is now but only a sad... Sign in to see full entry.

Be Thou Me O Ecstasy

The starry night's twinkling towers And the daylight's dancing hours The birds and trees and the skies and flowers The heavenly rains of sweet monsoon showers O Ecstasy, you sovereign almighty Empress Pure, and in the image of perfect gladness Without the tinge of any gloomy sadness Nature's...

My Heart Beggarly and Crouched Sat in a Corner Dark

My heart is stone-dead, parched up dry No song, no rhythm, no sorrow, makes me cry Be thou me; engulf me with thy showers of grace O Noble one, take away all my cloggings - they trace, They chase, they haunt, beyond all my favorite haunts – To where I thought I could elope from all my flighty wants...

About this Blog

Embarking on a journey in spiritual quest is fraught with the dangers of doubt, tension and anxiety, disbeliefs, misgivings, and a whole lot of uncertainties. Still, it is that one most integral aspect of life that humankind can rarely ignore or do without. Scientific minds are at loggerheads with what constitute religious truths; likewise, there are close-minded believers that give no credence to scientific facts. What I intend and invite you to discuss here is an intelligent amalgamation of the two seemingly diabolically opposite understandings: whether there exists an interrelationship that can help man to evolve and bloom like the perennial lily?
