I drink a soup of spirituality everyday, and of course J Krishnamurti fills the cup of my spirituality. I never get tired of reading him.
I choose to read the types that untangle me.
Taoism, Zen Buddhism, Sufism are some of the ones that transformed me.
Khalil Gibran was a poet that helped me unlearn all my superstitious beliefs.
Kabir is such a poet whose ideas are free of all kinds of communal, religious and nationalistic sentiments. He rose above all religious boundaries.
This is not a sectorist idea. I am a secularist and can feel comfortable with all religious people but not with their bigotries and fundamentalist ideas.
All of us are a bit of the spiritualist, if not religious. Spiritualism has little to do with religious questions that spur conflict and violence.
Spirituality is something that unifies us across all religious and racial boundaries and economic geographies.
Geographies, economics, political and nationalistic boundaries melt down here.
All shake hands and hug here. No one is an outsider. Let us forget we are Hindus, Muslims, Christians and Jews, Chinese American and the like.
Why cannot we be humans? Sheer humans unmasking ourselves.
As pure and unsullied as a newly born baby, and unadulterated and powerful as flames of fire.
Are all of us expecting a new prophet who teaches no new religion but spirituality?
