The religious person

                        If we put our whole power behind it,

                        The untruth can never be victorious.

                        Even if we give our very lives,

                        The untruth can never be victorious.

                        The truth, which is initially might appear to be losing,

                        Always wins in the end.

                        Truth appears to be losing in the beginning

                        But becomes victorious in the end.

                        But how can one possibly see the end from the beginning?

                        The person who is able to become religious.

Not Buddha, but Shiva

                            The final stage of a human being is not the sage,

                            Not Buddha, but Shiva – Nataraj.

                            Buddha has gone very deep,

                            But the outer is missing, denied.

                            Shiva contains all, contains all contradictions –

                            Contains the whole of God choicelessly.

                            He lives in the innermost core of the shrine

                            And dances on the outer walls too.

                            Life is a dance.

                            You have to participate in it.

                            And the more silent you become,

                            The deeper your participation.

                            Never withdraw from life.

                            Never renounce life,

                            Because in renouncing life

                            You will be renouncing God Himself.

                            Be true to life,

                            Be committed to life.

                            Be utterly for life.

Beauty

                              Beauty is like a slowly flowing river.

                              You cannot do anything against existence.

                              Nonviolence is the reverence for existence.

                              Nonviolence is simply a part of it.

                              The more you find yourself,

                              The more you will find yourself responsible for

                              Many things you have never cared about before.
