‘Still
Longing For You’ is a brilliant follow-up of Kulbir’s
earlier collection of inspirational verses ‘Longing For You’.
The verses display the same spiritual insight, the same search for
the Maker in nature, and the same attention to rhyme. If anything,
the overall effect is greater.
Kulbir’s
verses or poems are manna from heaven in today’s troubled
world. Read the verses early in the morning in absolute peace and
quiet, as I did, and you would not fail to be touched profoundly
by the wisdom, the absolute truth and the spirituality. ‘Ask
A Raindrop’ and ‘Abide in Him(Me)’; you will ‘Have
A Blessed Day’ and ‘A Better Tomorrow’. Truly
when Kulbir is here, there is ‘Heaven on Earth’.
A must purchase,
and recommended reading every morning.
