Thoughts On Life

About the Book

This book is about understanding of the self and knowing our conditioning, our values, our relationships and then finding what we are without all that. An understanding of the self then makes one aware that what we think we are is nothing but our conditioning and the images of the past. A realization of this illusion leads one to compassion and a different outlook to life. This book is about me questioning various aspects of my life in all honesty and putting down my thoughts.
