Wisdom Dialogues

Faith that cannot be shaken survives what logic cannot explain. Pride that demands worship becomes its own destruction. The divine cannot be defeated because it exists even in those who deny it.

Abilities built on lies crumble at crucial moments. Fear of rejection often creates the very failure we feared. The truth might have been accepted—but lies close that possibility forever.

True generosity gives even when the cost is survival. Honor that bends under pressure isn't honor. Sometimes losing our armor is the only way to discover what we really are.

Love that breaks rules for devotion is purer than ritual that follows rules without love. Waiting in faith, even when abandoned by everyone, is its own form of worship. True offerings come from the heart, not from procedure.

Truth must be actively defended against accusation, not passively assumed. Even the powerful must clear their names when falsely accused. Hasty public accusations require public correction.

Disenchantment with worldly life (vairagya) is not depression but the awakening of discrimination. The one who questions the dream is beginning to wake up. This existential despair, when properly directed, becomes the first step toward liberation.

Liberation is not something to be attained in the future through practice or accumulation—it is the recognition, here and now, that you are already the pure awareness witnessing all experience, not the body-mind that appears within that awareness.

Our parents—present or absent—do not define us; our choices do. The search for external recognition can become a chain. Being fully ourselves is the only identity that survives all circumstances.
