Download or read book Shishya written by Birri Sangha and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-06-24 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Shishya is he who sees the living flame within” Shishya “the internal guiding light” will help enlighten and take the reader through a personal journey of self discovery. In this exceptional debut, the spiritual poet, Biri Sangha shares a deep insight into raw emotion and feeling. The tenderness of love and despair when it is gone, compounds Shishya's underlying mood of human nature. The poems capture the very essence of empty yearning through to celebration of self discovery and hope... As you discover the “Shishya” you will discover the path to true light, you will understand the need for the soul to be fragmented before it can be fused together again...stronger, wiser, more beautiful... The testing comes before reinforcing... The hardship comes before the celebration... Death of all fear comes before the birth of a soul reawakened, a child reborn. Most journeys are outwards but the most interesting journey is the journey inwards to the centre of your thoughts. This is where it all begins-the source of all thoughts; the ocean of all sources. As you unearth the realisation that the soul cannot be overcome by life's weathering you will realise the true secret of Shishya. "Where the soul finds reconciliation, resolution, strength, clarity, sense of direction and purpose. This is where we settle all karma and find our true dharma”. "The poems are warmly spontaneous. Exploring the moment, singularly for all its intrinsic joy and celebration. One can feel the soul rising and soaring”.
