“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute.
We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.
And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life.
But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for.
To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?"
Answer. That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse.
What will your verse be?”
― John Keating
About Achakra
About Achakra
In Indian thought, life is seen as a great turning wheel — the chakra, of desires, gains, losses, and the ceaseless play of karma. Each turn binds the seeker to repetition, to hunger and fulfilment, to striving and surrender. Yet when wisdom dawns, the wheel is transcended; this state is called Achakra — the condition of being beyond the turning. To be Achakra is to rest where the cycles of want and fear no longer command the heart, where the soul steps outside the circle of becoming and abides in stillness, whole and free.
This spirit inspires my works here: Achakra as my writing portfolio is a space to step back from the restless wheel of noise and distraction, and instead gather words, reflections, and ideas that point toward clarity, meaning, and freedom.
