Straight & Crooked Paths

Straight & Crooked Paths


Man! I started on the Straight Path…..the Path of Goodness….since my childhood..
Though I was born with a Silver Spoon in my mouth,
after half a century,
I find that I am in the position of ‘Harichandra’
…the guy who stood for Truth and Lost Everything!
Harishchandra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(My loss includes my Only Beloved Son….whom I brought up all alone since his childhood..)
To Whom?
…to crooked path followers!


So the basic question for me….not only for me…but Every Human Being is….

  • Should one follow the Highly Painful Straight Path or
  • Should one follow the Highly Gainful Crooked Path.

Religion is basically about…

  • Asking/Showing you to follow the Straight Path
  • Telling you All the Thorns & Bribes in following that Straight Path
  • Giving you some sort of assurance…..on that matter.

What is your Straight or Crooked Thought
on the matter?

Delusions of grandeur

Start by focusing on yourself; mind, body, everything. Watch. No judgments, good or bad.

Definitions are meaningless in the spiritual, it makes it no longer it.
