The Inborn Saint

Love is what even the tinest thing reflects.I stay witness that the dark candles with flame shimmering fetch me the message of love and there , involuntarily ; the armies of hatred do surrender. Thus for me hatred gets placeless. The collection of poetry that I here put forth is what I meet after making an immortal bond with my Master. His honour and melodious love teaches me the lesson of life not through words but through the fruits of heaven that flow and surround his nobility. A soft wave of that flow kisses this soul too which now takes the shape of pearls, coming from the very owner of the garden. A tree, when hit by a strong wind, sings the song of the wind dances and bows down showing honor for and might of the guest.Every single verse does have the fragrance of his majesty.The collected insight nowhere exists outside but ,once the bird travels to find its nest,it does not care wether it flies or not .Some times through the long flying walk it dies many times and many times it stands in the middle of nowhere.It falls unknown in solitude where what happens- streams down through the language of eyes and hands in the form of love.

Stephen Eskildsen's book offers an in-depth study of the beliefs and practices of the Quanzhen (Complete Realization) School of Taoism, the predominant school of monastic Taoism in China. The Quanzhen School was founded in the latter half of the twelfth century by the eccentric holy man Wan Zhe (1113–1170), whose work was continued by his famous disciples commonly known as the Seven Realized Ones. This study draws upon surviving texts to examine the Quanzhen masters' approaches to mental discipline, intense asceticism, cultivation of health and longevity, mystical experience, supernormal powers, death and dying, charity and evangelism, and ritual. From these primary sources, Eskildsen provides a clear understanding of the nature of Quanzhen Taoism and reveals its core emphasis to be the cultivation of clarity and purity of mind that occurs not only through seated meditation, but also throughout the daily activities of life.

This book shows that childhood was an essential element in the arguments and purposes of authors in medieval Poland from 1050-1300 CE. This role of childhood in medieval mindsets has salient parallels throughout Europe and this is also explored in this volume.
