Anger

Anger should only ever be projected on yourself. … That is the right utilization of anger – not projected outside, but projected towards oneself to change. Taken from the book “Designing Destiny (2nd edn., 2015)”, Chapter “Character and Lifestyle”, pg. 11, by Kamlesh D. Patel

Spiritual Happiness

I challenge any of you to describe to me happiness, for instance. You can only say, “I am happy.” And if I ask, “Why?” Sometimes, it’s because your girlfriend is nice to you, your boyfriend is nice to you, and things are going well. Sometimes it is because the lunch was superb, and you have…

Inner Radar

What is a meditative state? You have centred yourself towards your heart. You are more perceptive, as you are trying to understand things with your heart.

The Real Meaning of ‘The more you give, the more you receive’

I was coming down from Mount Dandenong where I often go to reflect. I get a lot of inspirations from looking at God’s creation: the trees, the leaves on the ground, the birds singing or simply chirping, the raindrops, the wind, the sea, the clouds in the sky and all his amazing living things. You…
