Peaceful

A brilliant full moon!
On the matting of my floor
Shadows of pines fall.

Personality

Personality is nothing but an envelope. It comes from a beautiful word, persona; persona means a mask. In Greek dramas the actors used masks. Sona means sound, per means through. They used to speak through the mask; you could not see their real faces, you could only hear their voices. Hence the mask was called a persona because the sound was heard through it, and out of persona comes the word ’personality’.

invisible

For the man of the world, visibility means that you look like something or someone he expects you to resemble. If you look different, your true nature becomes invisible to him.

Silence

Words are figures, silence is the background. Words come and go, silence remains. Words are disturbances in the immense ocean of silence that life is filling us with every moment. Words flow out from the turmoil of our mind - in silence, existence flows into our heart.
