RE-DISCOVER AND RE-INVENT LIFE AS META-PHYSICAL BEING: A SHORT NOTE AND A POEM SHORT NOTE We must re-discover and re-invent our lives. To start, embrace the belief that you are meta-physical - you are a soul, a part of the eternal, all-pervading divine essence. In this worldly existence, your soul experiences cycles of birth and death. Start living with the firm faith that the purpose of human life is to free yourself from this cycle of re-birth, which is the source of all su

We call it a "level playing field," but some of us are running on asphalt while others are sinking in the sand. We built these halls with high ceilings and grand staircases, then wondered why those in wheelchairs were still waiting at the bottom of the steps. Education isn’t a handout or a favor; it is the oxygen of opportunity. But inclusion isn't just "letting them in the room." It is not an RSVP to a party where you aren't allowed to dance. Inclusion is the radical act of

Ode to Guru Ravidas Jayanti A day for love, a day for light, For Guru Ravidas, shining bright. He taught us all, with gentle hand, That all are equal in this land.

Need to replace capitalism with a socialist classless society: A Poem The gears grind loud, a familiar song, Of wealth amassed, where did it go wrong? The owners rise, with steely gaze, While workers toil in a profit haze. The markets bloom, the factories roar, But all the gains go to the door Of rulers 'n owners, who hold the key, While wages shrink, for you and me. The system breaks, the coffers swell, A widening gulf, a living hell. The rulers smile, they play their game,

Anger stirs a troubled sea, Hurting you and hurting me. It clouds your thoughts, it steals your peace, A bitter feeling that won't cease. Don't hold tight to anger's chain, It's wrong and brings you only pain. Anger's quick, a thoughtless spark, Leaving wounds within the dark. Be patient, clear, and kind instead, These gentle virtues, gently led. Don't react, stay calm and still, Meditate, and bend your will. It takes courage to be kind, To see with open heart and mind. We're

Short Note According to Eastern philosophy and spirituality, the ego is regarded as the fundamental cause, creator, source, and basis of all conflicts, dilemmas, strife, and sorrows.
