Why there is so much violence and suffering in the world? This question burns in the hearts of all kind and peace loving people. But most people satisfy themselves with the readymade answers given by opinion makers, social activists, Karma theorists and so on. Prince Siddhartha Gautama went deeper to find answers and found the absolute truth.

When you see something, your mind rushes to put labels on it: table, chair, good, bad etc. Sacred space is a space where your mind doesn't feel need to label anything. It relaxes, allowing you to go inward. That space can be sea shore, forest, mountain, beloved's arms or a temple. For awakened ones, every inch is sacred.

Body-mind seems like a movie character and life becomes enjoyable like a movie when you (soul) slightly detach from body-mind. That detachment can't be forced. It happens like a ripe fruit detaching from tree. To become ripe, surrender and let the universe take you through certain life experiences.

If you take spirituality/religion as a classroom, the syllabus is infinite. There is no end to symbolism, concepts, explanations, definitions. But you have to let go of all this if you wish to experience that which can't be symbolized, conceptualized, explained or defined.

The universe is dark and infinite. Then how come this little scene happening before me so vibrant with colours, shapes, patterns, sounds, sensations? This childlike wonder will keep you in eternal bliss. On the other hand, human characters and stories will give you highs-lows, pain-pleasure, hope-fear, stress-release and so on.
