Poetry, Essays & Reflections – Visit My Amazon Author Page


I’m happy to share that my books now have a dedicated home on Amazon through my Author Page. This space brings together my diverse writings—poems, sayings, essays, and reflective pieces that explore consciousness, human experience, and the inner journey. Readers can browse my published works, read descriptions, and stay connected as new books are added.
For many, my writing has served as a quiet invitation to pause, reflect, and rediscover clarity. Having an Author Page allows me to reach those readers more easily and continue that conversation. If you’ve followed my work or would like to explore it, I invite you to visit the page, bookmark it, and share it with anyone who may resonate with this blend of poetry and philosophy.

Why I Have Gone Into Seclusion


In this candid reflection, Sam opens up about stepping away from social chatter and phone calls—not out of indifference, but as an act of quiet rebellion against the noise of life. He muses that most of our problems arise from the restless mind and its endless buzz, which we often mistake for living. Through this introspective note, he invites readers to pause, sip coffee at sunset, and ponder whether peace begins where the “I, Me, Mine” ends. Honest, humorous, and deeply meditative, Sam’s farewell is less a goodbye and more a gentle nudge toward inner stillness.

Beyond Meditation: Ashtavakra and Advaita’s Deeper Call


In the Ashtavakra Gītā, two seemingly opposite statements puzzle many: “The practice of meditation keeps one in bondage” (1.15) and “When a weak man gives up meditation he falls prey to whims and desires” (18.75). Advaita Vedānta resolves this by distinguishing between dhyāna (technique-based meditation) and nididhyāsana (natural abidance in Self). For the immature seeker, meditation steadies the mind. For the mature knower, clinging to meditation sustains duality. Liberation is not attained by practice but by knowledge, effortlessly lived.
