This book will remind you that we are spirit beings masquerading as humans.The author believes that the modern man is so caught up in making a living that he has no time to truly and deeply think about life – where he’s come from and where he’s heading. His shallow living with murky intentions, self-centeredness, and compulsion to perpetually engage in social networking, so as not to feel isolated, leave no time or energy for him to think at a deeper level. The result is frustration, confusion, and inner conflict. And what is inside is experienced outside. There is clearly a need to genuinely create the feeling of being connected with fellow humans from a level where we all come together.In this compendium of pithy statements and aphorisms, the author has encapsulated thought-provoking and motivational wisdom to take the reader’s mind from thinking too many thoughts at one time to focusing the mind each day on the bigger questions about the true self, the spirit within and purposeful life to promote inner growth and peace.
A bold and open expression of strong emotions and experiences of a man in search of a flawless vision of life – a journey to self-realization ending with the author’s barrier-shattering and enlightening principles for guiding a blissful life.
Not shackled in the grubby past, not bullied by the unsavoury present, and not jolted by any potholes on the pathways of life, the author has opened all the corridors of his mind to express how one can gain mastery over one’s destiny.

When the Bell Tolls
When the old saying tells us that the bell tolls for another, it is really tolling for us all. The world tries to convince us that misfortune belongs to someone else, that suffering is a distant island, that loss is a private storm confined to another life. But existence is a single fabric, and when one thread trembles, the whole cloth remembers its unity.
No one stands outside the circle of humanity. We breathe the same air, inherit the same fragility, and move through the same mysterious passage of birth, life, loss, and return. To imagine that another’s sorrow has nothing to do with us is to misunderstand the very architecture of being. The bell never chooses its listener; it calls across the whole field of life.
Compassion arises the moment we recognize this inseparability. When another suffers, something in us is meant to awaken, not recoil. Their burden is not ours to own, but it is ours to acknowledge. Their pain is a reminder of the tenderness that binds all living things. It is a summons to soften, to see, to respond.
The bell tolls to remind us that no one lives or falls in isolation. It tolls so that the heart might widen, that indifference might crack, that the illusion of separateness might dissolve. It tolls because every life touches every other, even in ways we do not see.
To hear the bell is not a tragedy; it is an invitation. An invitation to hold the world gently, to recognize the sacredness in every face, and to remember that compassion is not charity but kinship.
When the bell tolls, it is ringing for the whole of humanity. And in hearing it, we return once again to the truth that we belong to each other.

In the depths of your being, there is a chant that makes no sound. It does not move, yet it breathes life into all that you are. This silent chant is the heartbeat of eternity, the hidden flame of the soul that is still, unmoving, yet illuminating every corner of your existence. It is the song of timelessness, resounding not in words, but in presence. When you rest in this nucleus of silence, you awaken to the truth: you are not merely a passing echo, but the eternal note itself.
Anil Kumar
The hand that reaches out, not to conquer but to commune, is the doorway to peace. But only hearts emptied of pride and filled with the Divine can truly embrace the other as self.

Tranquil Embrace of Mindful Presence, Love, and Expansion
It is a non-descript sanctuary of silence, presence and conscious growth where one communes with infinite, not through dogma, but through deep inner experience and unity.

I welcome the material world with mindful grace, knowing that true wealth is measured in intention. I walk in the world with spirit as my compass and abundance as my companion.
All I receive, I elevate; all I give, I sanctify.
In me, matter and spirit live as one.

I typed ETERNITY into my car’s satellite navigation. I got this: "Calculating route to: ETERNITY… this may take a while. "Estimated time of arrival: Unknown". Travel safely, traveller of time! "In 500 billion light years, take a slight turn left at the edge of time.“ You’re already there. You just haven’t realized it yet. “You have arrived … but Eternity was inside you all along.”
Anil Kumar
I am a microcosm of the universe,
inseparable from its vastness.
I will endure as long as the universe itself.
I am not merely a cog in the machine –
I am the machine!

A highly evolved mind transcends ordinary thought patterns and limitations, demonstrating clarity, wisdom, and insight. Operating beyond the confines of the ego, it possesses an expansive awareness that embraces complexity with ease and finds unity in diversity. Such a mind is deeply attuned to the material and spiritual realms, effortlessly integrating knowledge, experience, and intuition. It exemplifies compassion, empathy, and a deeply-baked understanding of interconnectedness, allowing it to live with purpose, balance, and harmony. A highly evolved mind is not just intellectually advanced but is also emotionally mature, spiritually enlightened, and open to the infinite possibilities of existence.
Anil Kumar
I am the product of countless cycles of birth and death,
my inner fabric woven over many lifetimes.
I don't hold my parents responsible for my existence,
but I honour them for their role in the journey of my being.
Anil Kumar
Happiness is perpetual.
It begins with the first glimpse of a rainbow.
and continues as one follows its arc.
When the rainbow fades, it is time to pause
and eagerly anticipate its return.
The cycle never ceases.
The interval between the stop and start
is the perfect time to revitalise with optimism.
Anil Kumar
Blissfulness, elation, ecstasy and rhapsody, and barbarity, brutality, and beastliness are from the same one source created by the perceptions of life, and exist on the two extreme ends of the same spectrum of the inner states. When one experiences wholeness one will strike upon the eternal truth that all fragmentation is the child of deluded thinking.
Anil Kumar
If you use a sledgehammer to kill a spider on the wall, you may destroy the spider but the wall will break too.
For every spider you kill there will be ten more. How many walls will you break?
Feral minds will live in ignominy.

'If you see love in the other, that's because it's in you.
Equally, turn to yourself and repair your emotions if you see hate and anger in the other'

What AI?
Encased within the vast expanse of cosmic consciousness resides a hyper-scalable Divine Intelligence - the origin of all creation, possessing a potency that far surpasses the limits of the human mind's imagination.

Gratitude is a growth hormone.
Its transformational qualities turn
'enough' to 'more', so I can be generous.

Belief is a language of creation that we are gifted with.

Every page was a breeze over every Hold. Every chapter was gentle and guilded in gold & depth like the spread of autumn leaves. May these golden leaves fall over many many people & over the earth to emerge once more like the thousand Muscaris of glorious Spring. Well done.
On daily basis, I read some of your thoughts & contemplate on them. It truely is a Gentle Breeze of Daily Wisdom. I am very grateful that you wrote this book. I will benefit a lot from it. It is very rewarding.
Thank you for your contemplation seeds that you have created - again! Knowing you is a real gift. I am still loving your book and am about two thirds through it taking one or two 'seeds' most days. Gemma Westcott
At a very young age Anil Kumar sensed conflict, physical, social and psychological, both inside and around him, and discovered a secret ally which he calls Nature that has always given him the strength to withstand adversity and courage….
