This is my list of poems and proverbs. From time to time I will update this list. At the moment there is no inherent order in this list; so do bear with me.

Native American Proverbs

Walk lightly in the spring; Mother Earth is pregnant.

Life is not separate from death. It only looks that way.

Biblical Poems and Proverbs

My child, if sinners entice you, do not consent. If they say, 'Come with us, let us lie in wait for blood; let us wantonly ambush the innocent'; like Sheol let us swallow them alive and whole, like those who go down to the Pit.
— Proverbs 1:10 – 12
You will be saved from the loose woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words, who forsakes the partner of her youth and forgets her sacred covenant; for her way leads down to death, and her paths to the shades; those who go to her never come back, nor do they regain the paths of life.
— Proverbs 2:16 – 19

Buddhist Poems and Proverbs

Walk and touch peace every moment.
Walk and touch happiness every moment.
Each step brings a fresh breeze.
Each step makes a flower bloom.
Kiss the Earth with your feet.
Bring the Earth your love and happiness.
The Earth will be safe
when we feel safe in ourselves.
— Thich Nhat Hahn

Personal Hymns, Poems, and Sayings

Yahweh has ordained that path which is good, the enlightened path, the path of thou savior the King – Yeshua; and the path of thee whosoe'er conscience was not stained by love's forsaken perfume in the devil: by the one who sought to avert the trumpet of thy raptured song; for in one the fate of the all shall forever be sealed in blood: the blood of the cross and the blood of thou king and savior o'er all the land.
— Mohandas Chandra Dutt

Ganesha ( गणेश ) getting ready to throw his lotus Saturday: My views on liberalism – June 14, 2025 The leitmotif of the modern world is man's demand to be liberated, to be liberated from his material circumstances, and the justification and driving set of ideas behind these ever increasing demands can be summed up as – liberalism. Anything that works in opposition to modern man's demand to become liberated is labeled reactionary, rearguard, and oppressive, for modern man derives his morality, not from the sacred or from the ascendant; modern man derives his morality from the idea that he has the right to demand freedom from material circumstances not to his liking and preferences. All men, regardless of rank, deserve these same rights, because liberalism claims the universality of "human rights", based on the assertion, the humanist axiom, that in man's natural state, void of any sacred influences, he is the liberal man, free to think for himself and free to take ...

Mahākāla ( महाकाल ) Protector of the Dharma Thursday: My views on the reign of quantity – May 22, 2025 In modern times, it seems quite natural for people to take for granted that any expression or any feature apparent in the world should necessarily be improved with time or "progress", as many people label it. This sentiment seems to be true in people's perception of the moral domain in particular; as if things just magically become better because some period of time has elapsed.     To provide an example: because something that is expressed today was considered immoral in the past but has come to be considered quite moral, and if not moral at least morally neutral, in the moral domain it has to be taken as a sign of progress, moral progress. This assumption of some kind of omniscient and inevitable improvement of the human condition—based on the seemingly arbitrary rule that what is considered morality should be extended or expanded—as a mere function of time is the...

Madhubani (Mithila) painting depicting Indian life(मधुबनी चित्रकला) Friday: My views on promiscuity – May 30, 2025 Along with the lines of modern thinking about progress and moral relativism comes the seemingly inevitable erosion of boundaries – more often than not, sacred boundaries.     The world makes itself apparent in many different stages across many different dimensions, and in modern times this aspect of existence has been challenged and attacked, and as a result morality itself has become dispersed and extended to such an extend that any action has been and can be made acceptable within the moral domain: such as homosexuality, polygamy, the decay of marriage, the sexualization of children, individualism, the fetizhization of the human condition, and much more. Indeed, modern man seems to have fallen in love with himself, and in his state of self aggrandizement, self adulation, and complete idolatry, the world is falling apart all around him.  ...
