May we be saved from evil thoughts
and deed of enemies of world peace
who find pleasure in creating havoc
and perpetrating all forms of carnage.

Vaishnava (devotees of Lord Vishnu) people are those who,
Feel the pain of others,
Help those who are in misery,
But never let ego or conceit enter their mind.
Feel the pain of others,
Help those who are in misery,
But never let ego or conceit enter their mind.
Vaishnavas, respect the entire world,
Do not censure anyone,
Keep their words, actions and thoughts pure,
The mother of such a soul is blessed.
Vaishnavas see all equally, renounce greed and avarice,
Respect other woman as they respect their own mother,
Their tongue never utters false words,
Their hands would never touch the wealth of another.
Vaishnavas do not succumb to worldly attachments,
They are detached from worldly pleasures,
They are enticed by the name of God (Shri Ram),
All holy sites of pilgrimage are embodied within them.
Vaishnavas encompasses the absence of greed and deceit,
They have renounced all types of lust and anger,
The author of this poem would be grateful to meet such a soul,
Whose virtue liberates their entire lineage.

“The Way of the Warrior has been misunderstood. It is not a means to kill and destroy others. Those who seek to compete and better one another are making a terrible mistake. To smash, injure, or destroy is the worst thing a human being can do. The real Way of a Warrior is to prevent such slaughter – it is the Art of Peace, the power of love.” Morihei Ueshiba.
⢠Exhale â¢
Going through it
The long duration of dark
The cold winter night
The silent day
When will I know my reason
When can I enter into peaceful solitude
Life is but a blink of the eye
A bat of the lash
If you want to know
I’m chasing the wind
And will soon be mown down
By the sharp blade
Come on spring
Make me new again
I set and wait for both

According to Michael Onyebuchi Eze, the core of ubuntu can best be summarized as follows:
“A person is a person through other people” strikes an affirmation of oneâs humanity through recognition of an “other” in his or her uniqueness and difference.
It is a demand for a creative intersubjective formation in which the “other” becomes a mirror (but only a mirror) for my subjectivity.
This idealism suggests to us that humanity is not embedded in my person solely as an individual; my humanity is co-substantively bestowed upon the other and me.
Humanity is a quality we owe to each other. We create each other and need to sustain this otherness creation.
And if we belong to each other, we participate in our creations: we are because you are, and since you are, definitely I am.
The “I am” is not a rigid subject, but a dynamic self-constitution dependent on this otherness creation of relation and distance”.
