Mehernosh Kapadia: food for thought
"The messages are practical as well as spiritual,” writes California based author Meher D. Amalsad in his Foreword, adding that Kapadia has "tried to encapsulate its core essence through his inspirational thoughts and motivational words. The sentiments expressed are worthy of meditation and reflection because they offer tools for emerging higher consciousness.”
Here is a random sampling of Kapadia’s offerings, in an italicized typeface: "Lose all your fear of being criticized if you want your creativity to take real form;” "I enjoy the matured silence of my friends than the foolish words of my enemies;” "The law of majority has no place in matters of truth;” "Just when a man gets authority, he behaves stern;” "Pretending to be your servant, a politician becomes your master;” "Enlightenment tells me I am nothing. Confidence tells me I am everything. And between these two my life flows;” "In every man’s life comes a time to be unique. What a tragedy it would be if you let it pass.”
