Better than a thousand meaningless verses is one meaningful word,
Which, having been heard, brings peace.
Better than a thousand meaningless verses is one meaningful line of verse,
Which, having been heard, brings peace.
Better than reciting a hundred meaningless verses is one […]

In the first three months of this year (2008), I composed a book that summarizes my views and also experiences regarding the Most Sacred Syllable OM. According to great spiritual masters like Paramahansa Yogananda, Swami Sivananda, Swami Vivekananda, Paramahansa Ramakrishna, Swami Yukteswar, Lahiri Mahasaya, and others, the Sacred Syllable OM is the definitive sound that […]

Chapter Seven of the Buddha’s Blessed Dhammapada portrays the Holy Soul called “The Arahant”.

The mindful apply themselves,
They don’t amuse themselves in any abode,
Like swans flying from a lake,
They abandon home after home.
Like the path of the birds in the sky,
It […]

We have finally arrived at Chapter Six of the blessed Dhammapada, Buddha’s discourse about life and spiritual enlightenment with his disciples. This particular chapter is called “The Sage”.

and that results in joy and delight.
As long as evil has not borne fruit, the fool thinks it is like honey,
but when evil […]
