Ranjit K. Sharma

You are vast beyond all measure,
Swifter than time itself—
Crossing multiverses in a zeptosecond.
You listen with patience:
To a weary soul crying here on Earth,
And to another, far away, on some distant world.
Yet we, in our smallness,
Confine Your boundless realm
To borders drawn on fragile maps.

It rises, tallest of all in sight,
As if reaching nearer to the Higher Up.
Yet we forget—the Higher Up is but a metaphor.
For the Divine is not only above,
But beneath, within, and all around—
Ever-present, everywhere.

Gorgeous white streamers in the sky tonight

But when your soul is trimming tangled sentences,
sweeping typos from sacred thoughts,
and folding fragile truths into paragraphs—
you simply say:
“I am creating. And that is enough.”

Hate is a shadow that grows when the soul is starved.
Psychology calls it projection.
Spirituality sees it as separation from Source.
Interfaith wisdom dissolves this illusion:
All paths lead home.
Only love liberates.

Juliet Hollister sparked the global interfaith movement in 1960 with a bold vision of unity. Backed by Eleanor Roosevelt, embraced by India, she founded the Temple of Understanding—uniting faiths for peace long before it was mainstream.

Being theistic does not always mean being spiritual, and vice versa.

One can be spiritual, ethical, and contemplative without believing in a god.

And the other way too may be true.

🧠 Black-and-white thinking feels safe—but it limits growth.

The world is not either/or. It is often both/and.

Nuanced thinking invites empathy, depth, and wiser decisions.

Dare to see the grey.

That is where truth often hides.

AI may be quietly eroding what it means to be human.

🧠 It chips away at critical thinking.
🕹️ Shrinks user autonomy.
🌍 Unleashes unseen systemic harms.

Yes, I use AI. But I also question it fiercely.
