India Unquoted !

Albert Einstein said: We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made.

Mark Twain said: India is, the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of legend, and the great grand mother of tradition. Our most valuable and most instructive materials in the history of man are treasured up in India only.

French scholar Romain Rolland said: If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.

Hu Shih, former Ambassador of China to USA said: India conquered and dominated China culturally for 20 centuries without ever having to send a single soldier across her border.

Reflections On Death

Love, Work & Give as if you'll die tonight. Dream Like Children as if you're gonna live forever. To gain an understanding of the shortness and preciousness of life and how to make it meaningful we need to reflect on the fact that death is certain and that the time of death is uncertain. These points may seem obvious but we rarely stop to accept the truth of them. When we consider that death is certain we can reflect on several points :: there is no possible way to escape death [nobody ever has], life has a definite, inflexible limit and each moment brings us closer to the end of this life, and death comes in a moment and it's time is unexpected [and even while alive we devote very little of our life to spiritual practice]. When reflecting on the fact that the time of death in uncertain we can analyse this further by recognising that :: the duration of our lifespan is uncertain young people can die before old people, the healthy before the sick, etc. ther...

Swami Vivekananda On Love !

I once had a friend who grew to be very close to me. Once when we were sitting at the edge of a swimming pool, she filled the palm of her hand with some water and held it before me, and said this: "You see this water carefully contained on my hand? It symbolizes Love." This was how I saw it: As long as you keep your hand caringly open and allow it to remain there, it will always be there.

For love is meant to be free, you cannot change its nature. If there are people you love, allow them to be free beings. Give and don't expect. Advise, but don't order. Ask, but never demand. It might sound simple, but it is a lesson that may take a lifetime to truly ...

Seeing It... !!..

"If the Human Body is Obscene, Complain to the manufacturer, Not Me." ~Larry Flynt Long back while watching Discovery Channel. In a Program, I heard them say: "Our Body is Dynamic. Changes every day. Each & Every Day... ! Human Skeleton is COMPLETELY RENEWED every 10 years." *Current Research -- PMID: 8519493, PMID: 597437 [[ Pubmed IDs ]] We say that: (1) His Eyes are intense. (2) Her Smile is good. etc. IS IT FOR ALL? ...ALWAYS?? I'm trying to say that - Its All in the Eyes ! A person lying naked on the bed... can be anyone from a child to someone selling body for money. And EYES can be anything from Saintly Ignorant to Gyenocologist at Work to a Ponce to Sharp Shooter to Fighter Pilot to a Mother [[who feels - and not just See It !]] Some Child [[unable to See beyond some feet !]] to a Blind [[who still can see - WITHOUT EYES !]]... Or may be YOUR OWN EYES ! Well this Human Body as we SEE is not the same for long. Beautiful today, can be Granny tom...
