writing inspires us to revisit the thoughts and turmoil within our own minds; our joys and reflections, love and hatred, happiness and sorrow, wealth and poverty, success and failure, courage and fear, life and death—and to make a sincere effort to discover the truth underlying all these experiences.

You have convincingly demonstrated that deeply insightful and penetrating thoughts can be expressed in simple, uncomplicated language. Written without any pretence or self-centredness, your work has the spontaneous grace and purity of inspired poetry—poetry that one feels compelled to read again and again. Such reading purifies the mind, fills it with humility before that unseen and formless Supreme Being who governs the universe, and gives us the strength to walk ever more firmly on the path of righteousness.

Just as a tender, vibrant green shoot effortlessly breaks through the protective layer of the earth and reaches towards the sky, your writing too has emerged with that same natural spontaneity and vitality.

My salute to this beautiful expression!
