PHILOSOPHY... LANGUAGE... LITERATURE... The lotus flower is a powerful symbol in Buddhist religion. The flower stands tall and unpolluted in muddy waters. It germinates in the darkness below, emerges above the water, and blossoms into a beautiful flower in bright sunlight. Buddhists use the symbol to refer to the complete purification of the body, soul, and mind even as the roots remain firm in the ground. (From: www.lotusflowermeaning.com/)

From the Pearl Within
Wordsworth said… “The world is too much with us…”
Meaning… we are all deeply engaged in our daily affairs within the parameter of synthetic society where we dwell. The experience(s) we get there … the results is our present existence… who and what we are now are the material manifestations of the past and all what we have at this very moment will be part of our tomorrow.
In other words… events in our life shape our destiny. Good if it is not in the way wherein dogmatic principles and beliefs of the church and the state prevail…co’z it will block the portals toward self realization and enlightenment… then self mastery and freedom will be crumbled and blown into the thin air.
The poor system of education, false and dogmatic belief, some narrow minded psychologist and nationalist, religious groupism, trivalism, racialism… and the likes play major role in shaping our life and made us slave and prisoner in the lila (playground) of humanity and forgot the fact of our origin… the inner self… and the purpose why we are incarnated in this body.
