“The radiant Dawns have risen up for glory,
in their white splendour like the waves of waters.
She maketh paths all easy, fair to travel, and, rich,
hath shown herself benign and friendly.”
~ Rig-Veda, Book 6 – Hymn LXIV. Dawn.

‘The Dawn Within’ refers to the Light, or at least its first and shy expressions when the mind ceases to be interested in its own productions or in the objects of the world out there, and turns within. The dawn is shy – the light is coming but is not yet a full sunny day. It is hesitating. The night is still lingering, but the promise is here. The blog is the expression of this threshold.

I have organised the posts in different categories that you will find in a drop-down list, in the widgets on the side and at the bottom of the page. These categories are:
– Shreds of Infinity, where you will find texts, quotes or pointers from teachers, writers, that I find important, beautiful, worth sharing here with you…
– Essays in Consciousness, which contains longer essay-like texts on a particular subject…
– Reveries into Oneness, which are small, playful texts and divagations ignited by a particular idea or situation…
– Voices from Silence, which are the voices of poetry, with all the beauty, meaning, and depth they carry…
– Fleeing to God, which refers to a particular ‘sadhana’, or exercice, a reminder, an invitation to look within. This is also the place to celebrate Truth through various excerpts…

Other categories are likely to appear to help you to browse more easily through the blog. Check them out in the widgets…
All the longer texts in the blog are also available from ‘Pages’, accessible from the menu.
This blog offers a mixture of my own writing along with the creations of various other contributors. Here are the texts, essays, poems, that ‘fell into my lap’, and that I have gathered for the ones among you who may like to see them at one glance…
India is a land that has produced, over the centuries, many precious and essential spiritual writings. I have gathered here, in one place, many of these unforgettable landmarks of non-duality, these ‘Pearls of India’…
I have often shared here various texts and excerpts ‘belonging to Christianity’. I have gathered them here for the ones among you who might be interested in this topic. It is always a thrill to uncover the most profound accents of truth concealed behind the religious jargon…
My friends from France are not forgotten here. I will post pages where some texts and quotes will be proposed in French. You will find them in the section ‘En Français’.
