I am drumming,
I am drumming
for my Love's ever nearing union.
They say get a life.
What is all this drumming?
I swear to that Love,
the day that I stop drumming,
is the day that I will stop living.

“Whoever leaves this world without knowing his own world, it, unknown, is of no use to him, just like the Veda unrecited, or some other work undone. Even if someone does a great and meritorious work without knowing it, that work of his perishes in the end.”

From the PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED by Paulo Freire:
"For the naive thinker, the important thing is accommodation to this normalized "today." For the critic, the important thing is the continuing transformation of reality, in behalf of the continuing humanization of men" (73).
"The goal will no longer be to eliminate the risks of temporality by clutching to guaranteed space, but rather to temporalize space... The universe is revealed to me not as space, imposing a massive presence to which I can but adapt, but as a scope, a domain which takes shape as I act upon it" (22-27).
Greetings Beloved:“Do not depend on the hope of results. When you are doing the sort of work you have taken on, you may have to face the fact that your work will be apparently worthless and even achieve no result at all, if not perhaps opposite to what you expect. As you get used to this idea, you start more and more to concentrate not on the results but on the value, the rightness, the truth of the work itself. And there, too, a great deal has to be done though, as gradually you struggle less and less for an idea and more and more for specific people. The range tends to narrow down, but it gets much more real.
In the end, it is the reality of personal relationships that saves everything. The great thing, after all, is to live—not to pour out our life in the service of a myth. If you can get free from the domination of causes and just serve Christ’s truth, you will be less crushed by the inevitable disappointments. Because I see nothing whatever in sight but much disappointment, frustration, and confusion… The real hope, then, is not in something we think we can do, but in God who is making something good out of it in some way we cannot see. If we can do God’s will, we will be helping in this process.”
"When people see some things as beautiful, other things become ugly. When people see some things as good other things become bad."
"They who worship ignorance enter blind darkness; they who delight in knowledge enter darkness, as it were, yet deeper."
Isa Upanisad 9/Brhadaranyaka Upanisad IV 4:10
