Power of Ignorance........

Unlike wisdom and intelligence

Power and ignorance often find their ways

By (physically) harming others.

Quote of the Day....

Nothing is more odious than 

an improbable Lie.

--Shakespeare.

     *      *       *      *       *

In life I have made only 

one prayer to God,

A very short one:

O Lord make my enemies ridiculous

And he granted it.

--- Voltaire.

To have Hope......

As Humanity..

Only by being critical of

Everything We know

We will have Hope.

To Harm Others.......

It is easy to harm others....

The desire and even 

The ability to do so

Comes from one's shallowness and

Having lost the way to be content and

Being inadequate and delusional

The accumulation of which in time

That one finds difficult to mend and

Even difficult to reach in or recognize

But in continuation....

Such vulnerability and 

One's inability to come to terms 

With reality.......

Becomes the driving point for

One's indifference to other's suffering and

In one's constant desire to be free 

From such suffering

One comes to rely on a easy way out

Of being malevolent under 

The clouds of one's suffering

Where in the only action 

One does seem capable of

Is to continue to harm 

Others to no avail.

Musings....

A society and its individual constituents

That do not know what is fair and just or act as such,

Such people have set themselves on a wronged path

Which blemishes them in their past, present and

Even future,

Thus making them misguided in the annals of

Human History.

          *     *    *    *    *    *    *

History can not be but off course is impassionate,

Yet is also passionate in its true markings and

It can not take sides,

But can only present reality in its objective

For it to be truly relevant.

      *    *    *    *    *    *    *

There is nothing in the nature of bigotry

That does trample over everything ,

Including what is Divine and

Sane and Sacred to human societies.

Mischief and Beyond......

To carry mischief beyond Zest / Jest / Gest

is A Criminal Act in the making.

To Deceive...

Often the desire to deceive others

Comes from self deception.

Monday, November 18, 2013

Reflections........

There is no fate that cannot be 
surmounted by scorn.
  *     *        *        *        *
The evil that is in the world 

almost always comes of ignorance, and

 good intentions may do 

as much harm as malevolence 

if they lack understanding.
      *        *        *        *
Freedom is nothing but 

a chance to be better.
 
      *        *        *        *
Too many have dispensed 

with generosity 

in order to practice charity.
       *        *        *        *
How can sincerity be 

a condition of friendship? 

       *          *          *           *          *

A taste for truth at any cost is
a passion which spares nothing.
    *        *        *        *
Every revolutionary 
ends up either by 
becoming an oppressor or 
a heretic.
    *     *        *        *        *
Real nobility is based on scorn, 
courage, and 
profound indifference.
     *        *        *        *

At any street corner 
the feeling of absurdity
can strike any man in the face.
---- Albert Camus.

The becoming of Evil.....


When One's thoughts are engaged in

A willful action of compromising others

Ones thoughts are subversive to be

deemed evil in their complete extent.

Capitalism and Charity.......


There is no true charity in Capitalism.

Ending..


People often don't know how to end

Because it seems they began by A false start.

A Ritual....


A Ritual is a Primitive way of

Finding High

Not about getting

Enlightened.

History...( of ideologies.....)


History is for those

who knows where they come from and

where they are going

Otherwise History can have

One as Captive audience

with out any One really knowing

The True nature of History.

God is Every where........


If one were to truly believe and seek God

Turn one's Heart in to a Temple

That is the best Temple

Any body can ever build for One's God.

Saturday, November 02, 2013

Bots / Robots......

It is not the machine 

That needs to be moral
 
But the man behind it...and
 
A moral human knows very well

The true nature of things 

As they stand......
 
Not as willed as this or that or 

In one way or another
 
Very few have understood 

The predicament of Deluzian ways
 
Nor do they know....... 

The moral hazard of 

Being a Bugger.

Persona.......

Lord I Believe.. 
Help thou mine Unbelief - Mark 9.24

If one does not truly confer 

With god from time to time

One's spirituality is just 

A feigned assumption

To the extent of Lunacy....

While the one...... 

In companionship with god

Rejoices in revelation and salvation

The other one is..... 

Just a non remedial misery

That one bears...... 

As burden of proof.

A Parable.....

 A Parable is an unknown Friend

Who knocks on Our door

To offer a gift of Insight and wisdom.

Friday, October 25, 2013

Shallowness....


Shallowness in Human relations ( condition)

Not only breeds Contempt but also Misery.

Charity...........


Charity, likewise Crime

Often attracts

The Pathological.

Monday, October 21, 2013

In Judgement..and Forgiveness.......

In Judgement One holds no Faith

Nor one has a true home

For the spirit to dwell.

In forgiveness One raises above

where ones Feet are untouched by

The soil that is dirtied by the deeds of others.

A Ritual in Repetition..


A Ritual in repetition will not only lose its essence

But also its ability to reveal and

Its potential as a Miracle or

As an Act of Nature.

Quote of the day......


There is only Trying

Rest is not our business.

--- T.S.Eliot.

To be Sad and Vulnerable..

The conscious awareness of every Human act

Done wrongfully or unreasonably and

That is Unwarranted and Unkind is

An accumulation of Sadness

And a reminder to Human vulnerability.

While Praying.....

When One is praying

One is present in unity in every prayer

With every other that is praying.

Friday, October 04, 2013

To Worry.............

When one does the Right thing (deed)

Indeed one has very has very little to worry.

Monday, September 23, 2013

One's Comic Marvel......


Most often a subversive and

Criminally vulnerble mind

Is constantly driven by the desire

To be unaccountable and indifferent for One's actions

Unaware of the fact that each subsequent action

Set on an irreversible path

Is nothing but A fullfilment of

One's delusional Reality/Realitles.

The Brotherhood of Man.....


No man must let his brother feel

The sting injustice brings

But rather help him walk in pride

And soar on Freedom's wings.

For each man is diminished not

When he shall help another

And understand and comfort him

And call a man his brother.

No man must let another weep

Or see his chance denied.

For each must walk the path of hope

And dream the dream, untried.

No man must let the truth be stilled,

Stand mute when he should speak

Or set the truth in shadows dark

for just a few to seek

No man must have to live in fear

or bondage from the past

But strive to reach the highest goal

And build for love to last.

And each must hold another's dream

And call that dream his own

And share the things his brother feels

To set Love's cornerstone.

---- poetess mary Millis was born in New England. Her mother's family was of Native American heritage and her roots are of early Dutchand French and Italian settlers.

To fight for.....


Fight and speak out against Injustice

In all its Ugly forms.

__ A Latino sister in Metro Boston.

To be fair and Just........


If we somehow do not find

A way to respect others

then we do not know

how to be fair and just to them.

Thursday, August 22, 2013

Governance......


Good governance is Justice in action.

Lies....


All lies are ultimately lying to Oneself.

A weakness of the soul

That becomes incapable of self realization.

Tuesday, August 20, 2013

Crime and Charity.....


Charity, likewise Crime

Often attracts the Pathological..

Friday, August 09, 2013

It does not Matter.............


It does not matter

If some one is even an Enemy or Friend

One can have a relationship

If that one is a Person.

It does matter

If some one has aspirations, frustrations

failures and even success

One can have a relationship

If that one is Humane.

Otherwise One is left to wander

among the dead and compromised

breathing through painful days

In a lonesome dwelling.

                        --- Richard at Boston Commons.

Poverty......


poverty  most often is a mindset of

the individual and collective as a society

Not a natural calamity.

A reflection for the day......


Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity

It is an act of justice.

Like Slavery and Apartheid poverty is not natural

It is man-made and it can be overcome and

eradicated by the actions of human beings.

Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great.

YOU can be that great generation.

Let your greatness blossom.

― Nelson Mandela

One way of Life............

The one that truly fears 

A public court is the one 

That has conspiracy at heart and

Patience like a fox is not virtue

When one lays a bait 

Hoping for a kill

Neither a person 

Anymore human

When begins to live off others

Nor a life virtuous...... 

If lived other than for survival

Emancipation and enlightenment.

Thursday, July 18, 2013

Quote of the day.........

People are often unreasonable and 

self-centered.

 Forgive them anyway.


If you are kind, 

people may accuse you of ulterior motives.

 Be kind anyway.


If you are honest, people may cheat you.

 Be honest anyway.


If you find happiness, people may be jealous.

 Be happy anyway.


The good you do today

may be forgotten tomorrow.

 Do good anyway.


Give the world the best you have and 

it may never be enough.

 Give your best anyway.


For you see, in the end, 

it is between you and God.

 It was never between you and 

them anyway.

Mother Teresa

Freedom and Liberty........

Freedom is the emancipation from

The arbitrary Rule of 

Other Men.

-- Mortimer Adler.( 1902-2001)

      *      *       *       *      *

Liberty is not Collective, 

It is personal

All Liberty is...... 

Individual Liberty.

--- Calvin Coolidge.
30th US President.

Morality...........


Morality is not a private domain

That someone can claim for oneself

Instead It is the effervescence of consciousness

That adorns the virtuous among the humans.

In TIME....


From the poorest of the poor and 

A tight fisted miser

From an erudite scholar and a pious priest

From the conniving old and an innocent child

From a housewife and prostitute

From a best banker and clever thief

From a victorious soldier and  successful ruler

Even from the wisest among the wise

TIME finally steals everything.

To be Home / Less

All species in this universe are 

Equipped to survive 

On their own.......

Yet........ we help each other 

To connect and share

So that we can be...... 

One family.

Thursday, April 25, 2013

The way of Honor......

If you ever were to have 

An enmity with a poor man /Men

Feed them well...... 

Make them strong and 

Treat them as equal

Then invite him /them 

To a duel.

     *        *         *        *        *

Choose equals both in war and friendship.

---- An Indian saying.

Truth and Farce.....Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah ...........

In using farce to debunk the truth and

When we invest in making farce 

A reality.......

Truth begins to fallow .....

To expose the farce

In order to restore us to

True reality.

         *       *       *       *      *

Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah..

Dharma protects those 

Who protect Dharma.

----Manusmá¹›ti, Ch. 8, verse 15.

           *       *      *      *      *

Dharma is generally defined 

Dharma is the principle of 

righteousness.

It is the principle of holiness

It is also the principle of Unity.

If you protect it, it will protect you.

It is your sole companion after death.

It is the sole refuge of humanity.

             *      *      *     *      *

That which elevates one is 

Dharma.

            *      *      *     *     *

 Dharma is that which leads one to 

the path of perfection and glory.

            *       *         *        *        *

Self-realization is

The highest Dharma.

Thursday, April 18, 2013

Helping.............

Help those who seek truth and 

Also those who hide truth

Equally with out prejudice.

For the seeker of truth is 

With out motive or cause....and

Help those who hide truth

Until there is no more left to hide

After that it is for god and 

Good of humanity 

That decides every ones fate.

Reflections...

It gets hard to differentiate

when one becomes 

One's own parody.

-- Joshua Eaton on twitter.

    *       *        *       *

Laissez faire, telle devrait être la 

devise de toute puissance publique, 

depuis que le monde est civilisé ... 

Détestable principe que celui de ne 

vouloir grandir que 

par l'abaissement de nos voisins! 

Il n'y a que la méchanceté et la malignité 

du coeur de satisfaites 

dans ce principe, et l’intérêt y est opposé. 

Laissez faire, morbleu! Laissez faire!!

          *        *      *       *       *

Leave it be, that should be the motto of 

all public powers, 

as the world is civilized ... 

That we cannot grow except by lowering 

our neighbors is a detestable notion! 

Only malice and malignity of heart is satisfied 

with such a principle and our (national) 

interest is opposed to it. 

Leave it be, for heaven's sake! Leave it be!

   

To Act.......

When working with Good people

One should make sure They know what one is up to

While working with Bad people

One Should make sure to take Liberties to do good.

Place of Prayer......


When a place of prayer is used

for purposes other than what it is

Its relevance is lost and

It no more stands on the sacred ground.

Protectionism.......

Protectionism and aggression are born out of

insecurities known and unknown.

Sunday, April 07, 2013

Prejudice..........

Prejudice is an affliction of Human intelligence

that leads one to be blind in ones wisdom as opposed to

an insight leading to a proper understanding.

A racist ,castist mind..........


A racist,castist mind is the One

that is endowed with such ignorance and prejudice

which makes it lead a more disgraceful life

than the one it discriminates up on. 

To know.....

Ther is no more unknown in what is all ready known

and only in the unknown lies the possible future.

 *    *    *     *

A bhramin by cast is a distanced entity from the Bhraman.

By and large every person is a castist and recist

For it is by virtue of reason one gets to see

The fasle nature of such identities

for such indeties in the first place are always

the making of the unreasonable.

Athbutha...... ( Purva Memansa)

What God has prepared for those Who love him/her......

No eye has seen

No ear has heard

No mind has conceived........

   ---- Isaiah 64 : 4

The idea of Reforms..........


The very idea of reform favors

strengthening of all governing establishments

running counter to the notion of dilution of powers

except that of those who are culpable and

progressively redundant.

(Reform means the improvement or amendment of what is wrong, corrupt, unsatisfactory, etc.)

Duality of Right and Wrong...

Any conscious process (manufacturing) 

In making of....

A supposed right action and

The justification of such

Happens by way of

A rational.....

That inadvertently ignores 

The wrongs of it.

Moral Ineptitude....


Criminality and Culpable human nature is

A demented state of Being

where one is incapable of transcending

To the realities of human compassion

spirit of equality, fairness and justice for all.


              *      *      *      *       *

To become prejudiced towards Others and

To discriminate because of one identity or another is

nothing but  moral ineptitude.


Wednesday, February 20, 2013

The making of Reality.............


What One sees and make it out as Reality is

One's own conditioned perception as I and The,

Where as Reality is  all together

Immanence in its differentiation.

Wednesday, February 13, 2013

Beginning days of Lent............

Jesus said to his disciples.......


Take care not to perform righteous deeds

In order that people may see them.

Otherwise you will have no recompense from

Your Heavenly Father.

When you give Alms

do not blow a trumpet before you

as the Hypocrites do in the synagogues and

in the streets to win the praise of others.

Amen I say to You,

they have received their reward.

But when you give Alms

Do not let your left hand know

what your Right hand is doing

so that your alms giving may be secret.

And your father who sees in secret will repay you.

When you pray, do not be like Hypocrites

who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and

on the street corners, so that others may see them.

Amen I say to You

 they have received their reward.

When You fast, do not look Gloomy like the hypocrites

they neglect their appearance

so that they may appear to others to be fasting.

Amen I say to You

they have received their reward.

but when you fast anoint your head and wash your face

so that you may not appear to be fasting

except to your Father who is hidden

and your Father who sees what is hidden will repay You.

                                                                       -- Matthew.

Those who are in the business of Selling Lies

are often vulnerable to Buying Lies.

Institutional Cruelty.....


The institutionalized cruelty /crimes stem out of
Systematic corruption, incompetency,
empowered criminality and
mostly from failure of ideas / ideals.
