Thinking is the core of our misplaced identities, our mundane and ideal attachments. Vata is strong, and so is maya. Yet strongest is the Lord’s love.

I think He is just being romantic, how sweet
Metaphors, poetry, philosophy meet
In the gardens of Love, the favorite retreat

She hears the wind, and Vata grazes her smiling lips. Vata carries the fragrance of her locks across the worlds.
