"I wish that you, oh exalted one, would not be angry with me," said the young man. "I have not spoken to you like this to argue with you, to argue about words. You are truly right, there is little to opinions. But let me say this one more thing: I have not doubted in you for a single moment. I have not doubted for a single moment that you are Buddha that you have reached the goal, the highest goal towards which so many thousands of Brahmans and sons of Brahmans are on their way. You have found salvation from death. It has come to you in the course of your own search, on your own path, through thoughts, through meditation, through realizations, through enlightenment. It has not come to you by means of teachings! And-thus is my thought, oh exalted one-nobody will obtain salvation by means of teachings! You will not be able to convey and say to anybody, oh venerable one, in words and through teachings what has happened to you in the hour of enlightenment! The teachings of the enlightened Buddha contain much, it teaches many to live righteously, to avoid evil. But there is one thing which these so clear, these so venerable teachings do not contain: they do not contain the mystery of what the exalted one has experienced for himself, he alone among hundreds of thousands. This is what I have thought and realized, when I have heard the teachings. This is why I am continuing my travels-not to seek other, better teachings, for I know there are none, but to depart from all teachings and all teachers and to reach my goal by myself or to die."

-Herman Hesse, Siddhartha

MY DESTINY WITH YOU by QuirkyNikitha
16 parts Ongoing Mature
Azar Dua Mir was fine with being a shadow everywhere. Nobody necessarily acknowledged his presence every time. He was a force of nature, calm and serene like the sea waves during sunset. While capable of devastating everything around him if provoked. He had a tough childhood, lives in a complicated joint family, yearns for affection, and is extremely ambitious for his future. Ambitious to not die in poverty. He never had anything easy in life. The ambition of a rich and powerful life was his single aim. Then he met- Ayesha Abadal. "She was a beautiful princess living in the dazzling tower-way out of my reach. I might be beneath her in status, power, and money but I was innately ambitious. And now... she is my ambition. Deedar hua jab unka pehli baar, ishq ki gehraiyan dekhi Bas khud se wada kar liya tha, Meri ankhri sanson mein sirf unka naam hoga." {from her first gaze, depth of love flared my interest. In my last breath, her name would be the last whisper on my lips} Ayesha Abadal was a complete package of all the colors of life. Vibrant like yellows, bubbly like pink, innocent like blue, strong like red, soft like lavender, and so on and on. Just like her never-resting thoughts and imaginations. She wasn't worried about the future, lived in the present moment, was a proud member of the BTS army, and was a filmy girl. She never had to face the hard knocks of life. "He was the manifestation of my every dream. He was the only man in my life who blessed me with beautiful promises and the agony of broken promises." Never been in love but has the confidence to cherish the feeling. Two people from different worlds are set up to build their perfect world. What happens when they realize their dream life is falling apart, will sparks fly once again? Will they realize that the love they've both forgotten is exactly what they need to survive?
Madness by Nocturnal_wonders
109 parts Ongoing Mature
Mind is a wonderful thing.. it's something that makes us-humans, different from one another. We all have a nose,a mouth, two hands, two feet, two eyes, one head-it's the mind inside that head that makes a difference. It's the mind that decides our character, it decides our actions, it defines our life,it's our mind that makes us love or hate something or someone. People aren't all bad or all good.. they have a touch of both but it's the mind that tricks us into loving or hating a person. Most of the times we don't actually love a person, we love the image of the person that our mind creates based on our memories with that person & same goes for the hate as well, we have bad memories with a person, we have a bad image of the person which leads to us hating that particular individual. We don't see people for who they actually are, we don't see the world for what it actually is, we merely see the image of it that our mind has created, the world for us is nothing more than an illusion. Our own personal illusion.. What's funny is that no one's ever going to know your illusion-your world as it is for you.. Despite all of the brilliant illusions that our mind creates, mind itself is the greatest creation of the mother nature. Without mind-this great tool, there would've been no cell phones, no television, no books, no music, no love, no hate, no life. nothing! But in reality, the mind is but a twisted yarn of madness. Yet every mind is great in itself. And didn't they say..? "No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness" -with love, Harika

BOOK 1 HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.......FIRST AS TRAGEDY, SECOND AS FARCE I ran as fast as I can towards my husband's chamber. I thought he left- ' RUKIYE RAJA JI! HUM BHI AAPKE SAATH CHAL RAHE HAI.' I woke you with a jolt, gasping and shivering. This not the first time that I've had this dream it has been years and with time these are getting more recurrent. The curiosity to see his face and to know him more is growing inside each passing day. I don't know anything about him....but I know that he is MINE ___________________________________________ Dr. Aarna being the youngest of her family has always been pampered, her wished were like a command to her dadu sa, baba sa and specially her Bhai sa. Everything seems perfect in her life- born with goddess like looks, dream career, luxury. What will happen when the life partner that she has been waiting for is actually the one who is sharing the same fate and DREAMS as she does. Amogh is the epitome of what you call a husband material. Built like a warrior, 6'4 with Greek God like looks with jet black long locks , respect his family and protecting them is his life. He is anything but rude and arrogant. A devotee of lord Vishnu. But what will happen that his wait for his Rani sa will come to an end in a very unexpected way. He still remember her from his dream, the dreams he is having for a decade. ___________________________________________ a single look was all it took for them to fell in love and start their journey but little did they know that someone is waiting for them to grow deeper in love so that later they can turn their lives into nothing but hell, someone who is waiting to burn them to ashes. Will they be able to know the mystery about their dream and change their fate from repeating the history? Is there something far more then just dreams they are looking at for all these years?
