The sense organs are under the influence of the psychological state of the individual because something comes in between the eye’s perception and the brain’s reception.

Into the great kingdom of the Brahmavidya each [of the twelve great Upanishads] enters by its own gates, follows its own path or detour, aims at its own point of arrival.

Flowers and trees are the poetry of Nature; the gardener is a romantic poet who has added richness, complexity of effect and symmetry to a language otherwise distinguished merely by facility, by directness and by simplicity of colour and charm.

The mind is not the whole of you, there is also the vital and physical. If the mind is conscious and rejects but the vital or the physical do not, then you cannot get free.

Once this area was notorious for Chambal Dakus.
This temple is in Morena.
On a hilltop, dedicated to 64 Yoginis, destroyed & looted - not a single yogini Pratima is left in this temple- most of them smuggled or broken.
When I hiked up there was not a single soul around, not even the mandir Panditji.
I got this beautiful temple for myself for more than an hour.
Those were one of the most peaceful hours in a long long time.
I don’t remember feeling that calm for months.
Wish I could go back to that moment again and stay a bit longer.
