Life is a delicate balance of a tightrope walk between a spiritual life and an ordinary one. A spiritual life demands utmost attentiveness. It is not a casual walk in the park.

On World Press Freedom Day, it's even more apparent, there can never be a substitute for a real journalist. Those who are fearless, with an unshakeable character, and no greed for fame, power, or money alone qualify to uphold press freedom.

Ditch the attachment: Detach and upgrade to love. Attachment is a perversion, a gruesome burden, an unholy cocktail of selfishness, jealousy, anxiety and fear which not just corrupts, but corrupts absolutely.

What do we want to let go off? A person? A place? A habit? An unpleasant incident? A desire? A loss? A betrayal? An obsession? And if we want to be free, why can't we let go? What is it that keeps us chained to our misery?

If you are not happy with what you have today, you are unlikely to be happy with what you could have or will have tomorrow. Every human being is a work-in-progress. Jealousy is an undesirable speed breaker

Pay Attention: The same mind, with the same problems, will not create a solution. To move to a higher frequency, you have to trash a lot of what you think you know. Most of all, be present in the moment.

Love is celebrated as the most empowering force in the universe, yet love equally qualifies as being the most abused, mocked and misunderstood emotion throughout time and been made responsible for war, betrayal, even murder.
