It is a platform to share the meaningful thoughts I have come across in my life. I want you to read not only the words but also the hidden meaning in between the lines for better and greater understanding. These are still the secondary details; search for truth needs to be done independently.

Kahlil Gibran, born in 1883in Lebanon, was a brilliant philosopher, poet and artist. His love for our spiritual nature, refusing to believe anything that went against it, made him a notable influence, that continues to inspire.
Greatness comes where one masters own senses and then drives them for the betterment of society....where the person does not try to impose things rather tries to help people
Correct. I just read a beautiful message, which i would like to cite here -
