Brilliant Skeptic
James Baldwin the Brilliant Skeptic
James Baldwin, arguably America's greatest black writer, was a popular Pentecostal preacher in Harlem at age 14 -- but at 17 he renounced religion as a sham.
Baldwin's novels and plays fictionalize fundamental personal questions and dilemmas amid complex social and psychological pressures thwarting the equitable integration not only of African Americans, but also of gay and bisexual men, while depicting some internalized obstacles to such individuals' quests for acceptance.
"Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time. Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison ourselves in totems, taboos, crosses, blood sacrifices, steeples, mosques, races, armies, flags, nations, in order to deny the fact of death, which is the only fact we have."

Ashesh Joshi on his new book
On the occasion of International Yoga Day, I talk with Ashesh Joshi who released his new book 'Introduction to Integral Yoga' in Savitri Bhavan. In this interview, Joshi discusses why he felt compelled to pen this book, his work in Auroville and the world running workshops and finally, the power of Integral Yoga.
Synthesis of Yoga Pt. 1, Ch. 11
"The Master and Mover of our works is the One . . .the Self of all beings, Master of all worlds, the Light and Guide . . . All that is, is he, and he is the More than all that is, . . . and we ourselves are being of his being (though we know it not) . Even our mortal existence is made out of his substance; there is an immortal within us that is a spark of the Light that is for ever."
It is long before we can see truly, and longer still if we would be transformed. Key is our renunciation of the egoism of the worker. When our surrender to his Dilvine Shaki is absolute, only then will we have arrived. And of course in all Yoga the first requisites are faith and patience. The Gita reminds us that the Yoga must be practiced, applied, with a heart free from despondent sinking which may come due to our impatience. Remmmmmmmmmembering that the Master has promised us he works always through our nature; we are his creation; in our errors is the substance of a Truth which works to reveals its meaning to us. . . He is wiser that our reason . . .
This reading is the first one of this chapter; to be continued .
