A rose without thorns is no rose at all. A self-love without the recognition of self-loathing thoughts is no love at all!

Silhouettes of appearances Often eclipse the firelight of the soul As if amidst a trillion hypnotic temptations We're walking alone Sensitive trampoline hearts & stained glass dolls In a show that causes us to slowly forget what it feels to stand in the vast sunny meadow of our soul

All the pleasant things we experience in life, are provided to us by the same source as all the unpleasant things we experience... By shifting this source to any particular individual, will always cause us suffering. Whenever we hate anyone, we hate not them, but only ourself. Individuals are mediums not the doer. Individuals are appearances, mirrors and fleeting shadows, reflecting to us, parts of us, but the source of light behind all these shadows, is only and only within our heart. So, no matter how great the pain or anger, the answer to it shall be discovered, by going within. ~ Neha's Notebook

The most selfish thing you can do,  is to abandon yourself.  If you aren’t available to your own inner self,  and instead looking to other people to be available to you.  It is like, that everyone has their own torch.  But you throw away your own torch and chase other people to share the light of their torches with you,   perhaps because you feel afraid of the light that emanates from your torch.  Thereupon, it is always, always a wise thing to look within your heart,  to not be scared of your inner darkness  and to discover the source of all strength.  It is only by loving and accepting your own darkness  is that you’ll be able to love and accept others too.  Without loving yourself, it is not only difficult,  but it is impossible to love anyone else.  Because there is no one else who exists except for you, for yourself. Be brave.  Be wild.  Look...

Poetry calls me to take a journey, Each poem wants to take me somewhere but in the end I find myself reaching at the same place for, each poem stems from this place of my heart which people call by the name of love and I like to call by the name of pain. Sweet pain. Poetry.

In the outer world, if a crocodile eats a goldfish, or if a tiger eats a deer, or if a leaf separates from the tree, or if a living organism dies, it is sad. But it is what is. Life is full of heartbreaking appearances. In the inner world too, we all carry emotional energies which sometimes take the form of raging dinosaurs and sometimes like a sweet positive goldfish. In the outer world, we can’t control anyone’s destiny, their birth or death, But here, in our inner world, we do have an opportunity to redirect these emotional energies for knowing & understanding the nature of our mind. By understanding the nature of our mind, we shall be able to make efficient use of it rather than being unconsciously driven by it!

Whenever you feel unaccepted, unlovable or unimportant by someone, anyone, for being who you are, as it is, then it is futile to either try to make them accept you or even to keep dwelling in anger at them for not being able to accept you. The best thing you can do herein, is to first accept yourself exactly the way you are right now and secondly, to forgive the one who couldn't accept you, probably because they didn't have the ability to accept that particular attribute in themselves too. They became a medium offering you suffering at first, however, once you learn the lesson, they can be viewed as a medium offering you the freedom from your own mind too! Thank the universe and let them go! Neha's Notebook

Fears are the voices inside our head which guide us about the various possibilities we might experience destruction, pain, or loss in our upcoming life moments. However, even the biggest of all fears is but only a voice, and we are always unattached to it. Anything can happen to our body, and anything can happen to our mind, but we are always unattached and untouched to any kind of destruction. But we must inquire this thing with each and all of our fears, with patience, dedication & focus.

It's okay if you are the better and I am the worse, if you are the best and I am your reverse, if you are a beautiful blessing and I am a dirty curse, You and I, both are unique verses, and a verse after all, is neither better or worse. A verse, no matter what kind, is just a verse. And I, am just a unique verse!

Swimming in currents of time, Singing bittersweet ballads...

Inspiration is a natural process that results as a consequence of heart’s desire, mind’s interest & aware repetitive practice.   Like letters wrapped in glass bottles & sent to a desert far away via paperboats, lanterns or floating leaves, like you start receiving responses to all these letters. These might be called as points of inspiration.   To look at it this way, inspiration is both random and not random a phenomenon at the same time.

a poem that we write is simply a great moment going through us & once it has passed it is no longer the same the word that was written before this word is not same as the word being written right now so just write & let go and keep writing...

Monuments, laughters, colors & tides There are great things in the world outside But nothing can ever fulfill the agonies of our heart except for the love & acceptance that stems from inside.

Redamancy Where sky pinks into dusk Where it settles into moon's silvery husk Where there is blush of a crimson bride Where the flutist tunes are like pearls on a ride I'll meet you there where sun meets the sea Where all is eros, all is redamancy

BUSY-NESS Busy-ness is the busiest of all the businesses of the world!

Its only when the mind becomes wordless is that the true words start flowing through the pen!

  Summer doesn't exist  without winter Stars don't exist without the dark Day doesn't exist without the night Sensitive trees don't exist without solid barks!
