Playing dead
By Mira Prabhu — Oct 15, 2020
We need to be ready for our death. It can happen at any time. The sooner we realise that we are truly love, then we can embrace the inevitable in a same state of love and peace.
Those boring old clichés
By Mira Prabhu — Jul 15, 2020
True friendship is a rare commodity. Virtually all human relations are tainted with ego. Even generosity frequently comes as a mask for the egoic self. But if beaten and betrayed, we must keep moving towards the Light that is truly ourselves. Life can make us bitter or better: the choice is ours.
You can run but you can’t hide

The paradox of addiction
By Mira Prabhu — Jul 15, 2019
The worst addiction is to our limited sense of self. It is this egoic state, which we have carefully fabricated over lifetimes, to which most of us are really addicted.

Luminous pearls on a cosmic string
By Mira Prabhu — Jul 15, 2018
An Enlightened Being can take any form, and wait for just the right moment, to deliver a transformative message — since such a one is unconstrained by human limitations and the element of time does not exist in the Absolute realm. Yogis use the metaphor of luminous pearls on a very long string to depict our successive incarnations. Earth is a school — and we need wisdom, effort and grace to figure out our unique lessons. And yet, if we forget that our true nature is immortal Spirit, we cannot learn these subtle lessons — and so we reincarnate over and over again ad nauseam, until we realise we are far more than our egoic system and firmly decide to graduate from samsara.
