Windmills of the Mind

Look within and follow a cleansing process… 

In this very reflective and introspective text, Dr. Kavita A. Sharma dives into the deep awareness of human consciousness, and probes the depths by asking the pertinent questions by raising the doubts that traumatize each human mind and by exploring all explanations.

Understanding our fears and insecurities and letting go of the past goes a long way toward opening the window to self-realization. 

Are we helpless victims of our destiny? Is the ‘hidden plan’ -according to which our life appears to move- the machinations of a puppeteer who pulls the strings?

Or is it remotely possible that our own mind and the path we wish to traverse ensures that the plan is well worked out?

Spirituality has often been caught in the rigidity of ritual and ‘outward’ religious connotations, from which modern men and women tend to turn away. 

Not many have seen the connection between the outer and inner life. 

Listening to the cry of the spirit is the only real calling that makes complete sense as we try to take control of the windmills of the mind…
