Path to Fruition

Prologue
This, being the ambitious attempt to start a blog was long contemplated but little endeavors were present towards realization. It was until I happened to visualize that the potentialities of my limited yet invaluable spiritual knowledge being translated as a ‘Path to Fruition’. Path to Fruition is hence an experimental, holistic medium aimed at sharing views, thoughts and ideas, as well as practical knowledge and experiences towards spiritual development. Articles, reviews, analysis and commentaries soon to be found here are largely improvisations, while some on existing intellectual materials of deemed credibility. Thusly any inaccuracy or misinterpretation of facts, information, judgement, opinions, etc is subjected to as accidental or inherent erroneous.

Hereby I would like to encourage my dear readers to keep an open and questioning mind in assessing the validity and efficacy of any claims, theories or methodologies set here, firmly believing that we should all maintain an attitude of curiosity, be experimental and explorative and not quick at accepting information being authentic and dependable simply out of faith, fancy, oral tradition, theorising or considered acceptance of a view - Canki Sutta (MN 95). Perhaps and most appropriately, to travel the Path to Fruition requires one to be wise, analytical and selective in pruning only the factors that are conducive towards our often unique spiritual practices.

P.S: ‘Jin-almahdi Kilulu’ is merely a pseudonym. It is not, by itself, an alter-ego or another self-created entity. Simply, it is a means to articulate my affection towards life and spirituality. Therein (the pseudonym) lies a value most virtuous that reflects the attribute of sacredness. Originate from an Arabic term, ‘Al-Mahdi’ denotes the act of guiding one to the right path while the word ‘Kilulu’ is inspired by the name of a victimized African child character in the critically-acclaimed and humanity-themed motion picture, The Constant Gardener. The message that underlies is most evident; the realization of both wisdom and compassion; the fundamentals of every religion.
