“Deep down there is a rose in every heart.”
― Amit Ray, Walking the Path of Compassion

“A person does not reach the pinnacle of self-realization without relentlessly exploring the parameters of the self, exhausting their psychic energy coming to know oneself. Without society to rebel against and to sail away from, there would be no advances in civilization; there would be no need for healers and mystics, priests and artist, or shaman and writers. It is our curiosity and refusal to be satisfied with the status quo that compels us to challenge ourselves to learn and continue to grow. We only establish inner peace of mind with acceptance of the world, with the recognition of our connection to the entirety of the universe, and understanding that chaos and change are inevitable. We must also love because without love there are no acts of creation. Without love, humankind is a spasmodic pool of brutality and suffering. Love is a balm. It cures human aches and pains; it unites couples, families, and cultures. Love is a creative force, without love there is no art or religion. Art expresses thought and feelings, an articulation of adore and reverence.”

“There is a rose in every heart. Enlightenment is recognizing that rose.”
― Amit Ray, Enlightenment Step by Step

“There exists a universal order that we each play a distinct role in carrying out. Light always struggles to emerge from darkness. Each of us is the bearer of our own lantern. We find ourselves when we realize our place in an interconnected world. The struggle to pierce the darkness that shrouds us from realizing a state of perceptive awareness is the biggest part of both our individual story and our communal storyline.”

“It's easier said than done but when you feel yourself out of balance within, stop in that present moment and catch your breathe.
Remind yourself of 5 things, that help you feel most alive and re-centre your own energy frequency so you can continue living out of your intentions not the world's distractions.”
― Nikki Rowe

“People undergo several sequential steps in maturing from infancy including childhood, adolescences, young adulthood, middle age, and old age. Each stage presents distinct challenges that require a person to amend how they think and act. The motive for seeking significant change in a person’s manner of perceiving the world and behaving vary. Alteration of person’s mindset can commence with a growing sense of awareness that a person is dissatisfied with an aspect of his or her life, which cause a person consciously to consider amending their lifestyle.”

“Self-questioning and a desire to gain self-understanding is the fêted act of humankind.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“With every passing day, we add a page to our personal story, an illustrative script that casts our character shaped by an implacable external environment and fashioned by our supple state of inwardness.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Accepting that a person will die and shucking off any aversion to this blunt thought awakens the mind to realize what is possible in a human life.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Writing is an exhausting and demoralizing task that destroys human conceits. Writing an elongated series of personal essay opens a person’s mind to explore paradoxes and discover previously unrealized personal truths. Writing is as arduous as any trek into the wilderness. Every sentence takes a writer deeper into the jungle of the mind, a world of frightening inconsistencies created by our waking life’s desire that the world of chaos conform to our convenience.”
― Kilroy J. Oldster, Dead Toad Scrolls

“Unless we understand how the twists and turns of life operate to make us, we cannot comprehend who and what we are. Without self-awareness, we are blind to registering the intertexture of other people’s inner life. Gracefully enduring personal hardships expands our minds to extend sympathy and empathy for other people. By casting our personal life experiences into a supple storytelling casing, we create the translucent membrane that quarters the fusion of our flesh, nerves, blood, and bones. Self-understanding is an essential step in loving the entire world.”

“You will shine wherever you go - just carry the light of compassion in your heart.”
― Amit Ray, Walking the Path of Compassion

“Divinity is recognizing that you’re already successful, and you are on the way to achieve your highest potential. Divinity is keeping the objectives of the soul clear, beyond the guilt, shame and embarrassment of life.”
― Amit Ray, Peace Bliss Beauty and Truth: Living with Positivity

“It is funny that in the name of meditation people chase god, prophetess, images, mantras, breaths, sounds, thoughts, feelings, sensations and what not. True meditation is dropping all these chasing and finding the supreme love that is inside you in the light of your own soul.”
― Amit Ray, Meditation: Insights and Inspirations

“A fine line exists between quitting on ourselves and letting go of a restrictive position in life and moving forward to reach our ultimate destination based upon our natal predisposition honed by a lifetime of experimentation. Who has not been forced to stop and ask ourselves, ‘who are we,â€� ‘what are we doing,â€� and ‘where are we going?â€� Who has not been forced to pause by life’s dynamic forces and ask ourselves, ‘what mystical chords bind us as a species; what is the meaning of life; and how do we give birth to our genetic blueprint while shaping a sense of purposefulness out of our own existence and striving to bring joy to other people’s hearth?â€� To answer these life affirming questions that gnaw most voraciously at our consciousness at the time when tension and unsettling trauma besieges us, we must appreciate our heritage, be mindful our epoch, accept responsibility for our adult decisions, and strive to accumulate wisdom that segues our entrance into the future. Each of us must arrive at a unifying philosophy that guides our living quest, and the sooner we come to terms with our eccentric self the quicker we will perceive and appreciate the ineffable beauty of nature.”

“Meditation is seeing the eternal beauty of your own soul in the light of your soul.”
― Amit Ray, Meditation: Insights and Inspirations

“If you think awakening is like somebody putting a light ray on the planet earth and we all awaken no!
Awakening is inside, insight, in heart, within the soul that awakening is
"Aham Brahmasmi - I am divine",
So God created man in his own image - Genesis 1:27
inna Llaha khalaqa Adama `ala suratihi. “Allah created the human being in His own image"
Ek Onkar Satnam Karta Purakh - There is only one God. His name is true
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One - Deuteronomy 6:4”
― Aiyaz Uddin, The Inward Journey

“What's at the End of Space? Thereof seeker discovers "That", the basis of What Is - here, there, within, without - the infinite, eternal, innate essence of Existence. One finds: All is One-Self in make. So ends the Eternal Race.”
― Fakeer Ishavardas

“During the past two years I processed one of the most disappointing experiences of my life - facing and healing from extreme pathological behaviour from the person I once cared for the most. The subsequent journey to accept that I cannot take responsibility for someone else's abuse towards me that manifested through the inhumane disrespect of perpetual infringements of my expectations, norms, values, safety and quality of life. The renewed awakening of what humanity should be (in learning from its absence) is indeed a gift that keeps on giving...”
