शमथ। Samatha Don’t stay at crossroads. It is hazardous. Take any road if you can’t decide. There is one sure constant on any road you take, that is you. If you pay attention to this constant, you will reach your destination safely. Imagine that you want to be a tennis player.

Do not stop now; You are at your destination already.
शमथ। Samatha “Nothing is going the way I planned; what’s the point in living!” This is a fatal blow to one’s self-confidence and self-image. It is almost like turning your face away from life. No, what you think is not true. The point in living is living itself without any adjectives to

Life does not have a rewind button.
शमथ। Samatha What if life indeed had a button to rewind? You could have picked up from where you think could have made a different turn. You are like a child obsessed with time travel. The only difference is that the child wants to do it for the fun of it while

शमथ। Samatha What does it mean to love? To love means to give yourself to somebody else. If the other also gives yourself completely to you, then it can be called union. Such love is extremely rare. Most of what we take as love around are giving oneself partially to the other.

Embrace fame when it comes to you.
शमथ। Samatha Camera has become an obsession; why! In the days before internet and in the days before leisure travel, a faded photograph in a photo album could have opened the gates to a magical kingdom for many, who could only look at the person in that photograph with awe. With the advent
