“Be present in the only place of importance: the present. Here is where your magic resides.”
Kabir Munjal, The Seeker of Nothing: A fable on owning your life
“Suffering, unlike pain, is not an event, but a state of mind. It is a constant state of being that eats you from within and is strong enough to fell the mightiest among us.”
Kabir Munjal, The Seeker of Nothing: A fable on owning your life
“REDEMPTION Pain is an event which cannot be avoided.
Suffering is a process which can. The light of awareness offers protection against
the darkness of suffering. This understanding guides you to redemption.”

“Choose wisely, for how you choose to respond to situations could very well be the difference between tremendous suffering and lasting joy.”
Kabir Munjal, The Seeker of Nothing: A fable on owning your life
“I am aware that sometimes people make choices because they perceive that it was their best option at the given time. In all my years, I have not met a man who has made a choice he felt he was not compelled to, or could not justify, given his understanding, his evolution, his fears, his debilitating desires, his awareness or his place on his journey.”
Kabir Munjal, The Seeker of Nothing: A fable on owning your life
“External wounds left unattended could rob you of your life. Why then leave the inner ones, without offering them treatment? Don’t you see that they will rob you of your joy? And tell me, my friends, what is the value of a life without joy?”
Kabir Munjal, The Seeker of Nothing: A fable on owning your life
“However, if you have suffered misfortune without knowing why, you must still continue your journey with the faith that you are exactly where you are meant to be. There may be instances when you do not know what is best for you, but know that the universe does. Keep walking ahead, in the knowing that nothing happens without a reason. Even if things did not unfold the way you thought best, live in the awareness that the universe cannot make mistakes.”
Kabir Munjal, The Seeker of Nothing: A fable on owning your life
“Look back on your own life, see the number of times situations that appeared to be great misfortunes actually played a tremendous role in taking you where you needed to be, showing you what you needed to see, teaching you the lessons you needed to learn.”
Kabir Munjal, The Seeker of Nothing: A fable on owning your life
“When you realise that it is you, a soul, merely experiencing that which you need and learning the lessons you seek in order to continue your journey of evolution, your choices will change. It is difficult to look at your life in this way, but all of us will achieve this realisation at some point on our journey. We will realise that we are all the same, differing only by how well we know ourselves. When you become truly aware of who you are, you will be free, my child.”
Kabir Munjal, The Seeker of Nothing: A fable on owning your life
“The choices you made were dictated by who you were, where you were, and above all, what you knew then. But today, you might be more aware, and therefore you can choose differently.”
Kabir Munjal, The Seeker of Nothing: A fable on owning your life
“They reflect a dark emptiness. A blackness so deep, I know not where it ends. An abyss of misery. They used to be brown, a beautiful dark brown. Now, you can very clearly see in them—nothing. I am often plagued by the thought that if I inspected a dead man’s eyes, they would look exactly like his.”
Kabir Munjal, The Seeker of Nothing: A fable on owning your life
“Tell me, oh captain, do these eyes look like they need more dreams?”
