LIVE ON YOUR OWN TERMS


LIVE ON YOUR OWN TERMS


Human life must not be wasted in the practice of archaic customs which are plain superstition. The gift of earthly time must be better utilised to know and to love. If life ends before one's ideals are realised, so be it. But let it be spent not at the dictate of God or Messiah or Prophet but on one's own terms, as one deems best, in the pursuit of knowledge and love.


Being dated in time and frozen in faith goes against the grain of evolution. Ever renewing one's knowledge, expanding one's sympathies, embracing the universe as one's own is the sign of the spiritual soul. All else is murky materialism in the name of doctrinaire faith. Break free of all such bondage and live in the sunshine of a fearless freedom. What of death? Destroy it before it can get to you. Repeat the mantra 'I am the birthless, deathless, immortal soul, of the very stuff of God' and zero in to your Self (Atman). 🕉
