  The Book of Mirdad teaches that we must view ourselves as divine creations, born of pure consciousness and endowed with limitless potential. God created humanity in His own image, embedding dormant divine attributes within us that must be awakened and nurtured through an inward journey. Within humanity, the word "I" stands as the absolute, creative word of God. By detaching from the external world and balancing and purifying our inner consciousness, we can mirror this divinity and recognize it in all others. We are divine entities—creations of pure awareness with untold possibilities. Therefore, we must simply be , working on the self to unfold our true nature through art, music, divine wisdom, and selfless service. We are advised to live in the world but not be of it—living, working, and creating selflessly as a direct offering to God. By dissolving duality and cultivating equanimity, a seeker becomes firmly anchored on the spiritual path. This journey requires uncoveri...

  Oppressive regime meets Indian GenZ's soft power: A poem The suits sit high in gilded halls, Where shadows stretch and ink is bled, They send brutes to pace GenZ walls, With bitter words and heavy tread. They call GenZ spirit wild and torn, They paint youth's zeal as lawless night, To make the truth look pale and worn, And dim the morning of new light. It is a dance of cold design, To cage the dream youth dare to hold, To trace a dark and jagged line, Where honest voices once were bold. Oh, keep free-spirit a steady flame, Though rulers claim your cause is wrong; They fear the truth that knows no name, The rhythm of youth's rising song. For strength of all that must be free, In testing winds youth stand their ground; The zest of GenZ legacy, Is in peaceful protests already found.

  Ravana's Dying Message to Lakshmana as Lessons on Life: A Poem The mighty king lay broken on the sand, As Lakshmana approached with humble tread, To hear the truth from king's decaying hand, Before the spirit from the body fled. "The foolish mind pursues a bitter path, Avoiding good to chase the hollow prize, It dwells in greed and wakes a storm of wrath, Too blind to see the wisdom in its eyes. "Do not delay good work that must be done, Nor wait to mend the soul while time remains, And treat your foe as if he were your son, To win his heart and break the heavy chains." Do not find joy in another’s deep pain, For cruelty leaves but a dark, heavy stain. Hold birth and death  as natural  and true, Both are divine, passing life through to you. He blessed Rama, then took his final breath, A flash of light within embrace of death!

  Lessons from Donkey Head of King Ravana Iconography: Ten Quatrains 1-The ten block heads stand proud and tall, He thinks he rules them one and all. A king of gold, with words of might, Yet blinded by his own dark light. 2-But perched above the crown he wears, A donkey’s head in silence stares. It speaks of pride that will not bend, A stubborn path toward the end. 3-The beast of burden, dull and vain, Reflects the hunger in his brain. He knows the lore, he knows the art, But hides a foolish, heavy heart. 4-For all his strength and all his schemes, He wanders lost in selfish dreams. The donkey head, so cold and true, Shows all the truth he never knew. 5-He wears a crown of heavy gold, But hides a secret, dark and old. Beneath the kingly, human face, A donkey’s head finds hiding place. 6-The stubborn head and swollen pride, In shadows of the soul they hide. To walk in dark, ignoring light, 'll bring down-fall to ruler from height. Let moral compass guides the way, 7-To light the pat...
