Luksha1

Our mercurial temperaments produce constant chaotic frequencies and considering our daily thoughts and actions we never get deep rest or relaxation of peace that we all seek. Poems can only point out aspects the writer believes are important, but how the reader feels about them is the most important job. A cosmic dance is what is around us. Do we want to want to be swept away by it, lost in its cycle of postures, or be an audience, watching it from a distant and engaging in the dance for the accomplishment of necessary material goals.…

When in engrossed by certain negative emotions, we tend to act in different ways. This poem expresses that and goes into the inner workings of the mind. Though someone may seem to be happy and content, their inner disposition may be radically different. We should understand that and be aware of each other and not simply judge because of our biases.…

A commentary and review on book, There is a God, by the renowned philosopher, Antnoy Flew. Though reading the book will help in grasping the content, it is not necessary, as I focus on Flew's arguments for God's existence and describe a unique way of presenting the Divine. In this short essay, I will introduce the powerful philosophy of Advaita Vedanta and give you, the readers, an insight into this all-encompassing and inclusive system, which seeks to illustrate God as more than simply a "person" in the sky looking down upon us. I hope to encourage the reader in pursuing further study into the Vedantic Tradition of Bharat, commonly known as India.…

A short commentary into the social world or social life. For many, there is great hardship and exuberance from being with others or in relationships; however, we have given those around us too much control on our happiness. Essentially, we are living in "bubbles" compromised of those people, concepts, and ideas that are comfortable to us and please some but create more divisions in an already divided, caustic world. Join me in recognizing ourselves and burst those illusionary bubbles in our mind, as differences are fortunes of a bountiful world full of great love and beauty that is if we make it one in our mind.…

When we start to examine ourselves and our lives, we begin to dive into our mind and observe those material desires, which lead to ignorance. Opening oneself up is the greatest and most constant journey. It is not easy, but necessary for a fuller, more compassionate life. We should explore this world and other's, as differences do not create divisions, for it is our minds that do.…

Many sages speak about the experiences of self-realization. They are able to give ways in which attain this feat. To describe such an event would be inappropriate as I have never witnessed or experiences such an event. Yet, I hope to capture briefly how I feel about this unique aspect that some great beings have.…

In this poem, I detail the grief and suffering we place on ourselves such as depression, anxiety and other negative thoughts and emotions. Many times we are overly attached to things that bring no benefit. We follow the patterns and trends of society, but many still feel empty and sadness. As such, I encourage you all to detach yourself from those mindless aspects and begin to love yourself.…

In western societies, there is unnecessary divisions between subjects and disciplines so much so that people miss out on great discoveries of the mind and universe. This poem symbolizes that search for truth by connecting all fields of thought, as science, religion, and spirituality work better together to solve problems and highlight unique dimensions in our existence.…

In this research essay, I delve into the lives and words of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr., as I contend that these two individuals were more alike than different. I will demonstrate that the criticism of Malcolm and glorification of King comes from society's judgement that Christianity is better and greater religion, while, Islam is constantly viewed as negative, violent, and impure. I believe these two great minds, though coming from vastly different environments, both desired the same goal of uplifting Black minds and communities and truly educating their people. They were adamantly against the government; thus, they wanted the true history of America to be told. I hope to show you, the reader, that we can learn many of great things from these men, for we should all seek spiritual unity with each other and all creatures.…

In this research essay, I dive into paranormal and parapsychic events and through Advaita Vedanta show that these events are ordinary and we should not simply judge them negatively. The point of Vedanta is to establish and ground existence in consciousness; thus, paranormal or UFO events can be seen from a much deeper spiritual sense that allows us to understand more about the cosmos. Governments for years have hidden these stories and cases. They do not want the public to find out about or hear about these aspects in our reality because it would topple their dogmatic thinking. However, do not be afraid and explore this wonderful universe. I hope you, as the reader, will come away with a broader sense of reality and gain the wisdom to question all things especially yourself.…

This satirical essay points the hypocrisy in American society from its history to religion. I hope to convey my fundamental message of always questioning. The things we read in textbooks, the lectures we hear from teachers, and the over-bearing information online should always be questioned. One must recognize the manipulation and ignorance in the world, and seek to gain Truth from those who preach and write about pure inclusivity, compassion, love, and knowledge. I hope this piece sparks thought in your mind.…
