Our biggest problem is the complete contrast in the nature of brain and mind. Majority of the people do not even realize the separate existence of the two. As a result, their entire life gets crumbled and destroyed in the constant friction between their brain and mind.

-Deep Trivedi

No mind, no form, I only exist; Now ceased all will and thought. The final end of the Nature’s dance; I am it whom I have sought. A realm of bliss bare, ultimate, beyond both knower and known. A rest immense I enjoy at last; I face the one alone. I have crossed the secret ways of life; I have become the Goal. The Truth immutable is revealed; I am the way, the God-Soul. My spirit aware of all the heights, I am mute in the core of the Sun. I barter nothing with time and deeds; my cosmic play is done.
