To beg.....

It is all right to beg for food...

But not truth.

----- An old Dharma / Dhamma saying.

Proving oneself.....

I accept when you make a claim to

Being a good person.... 

Because it is you alone

That is capable of proving it..... 

Otherwise.

Evolution.....

Evolution is change of identities

Finding them anew.

        *         *         *         *         *

The genetic material of 

All species evolves..... 

Only by losing

Its former

Primitive identities.

Speculation.....

Speculation is anathema to...

True creative forces.

The wisest among us.....

The wisest among us have....

Least affront to.... 

( Human) Stupidity.

What is Art? (1896).....

 "I know that most men -- 

not only those considered clever,

but even those who are very clever and 

capable of understanding

most difficult scientific, mathematical, or 

philosophical problems --

can seldom discern even 

the simplest and most obvious truth 

if it be such as obliges them to admit 

the falsity of conclusions they have formed,

perhaps with much difficulty -- 

conclusions of which they are proud,

which they have taught to others, and 

on which they have built their lives."

-- Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoi
(1828-1910) Russian writer
Source: What is Art? (1896)

Standing high.....

Only in true Tolerance

One stands high ground.

What endures.../ Pedagogic my dear Watson...

When we fail to win 

Other's hearts....

As a society

We have lost...... 

Our human cause.

Our times.....

Time does not wait for anyone

Even for those.....

That create their own times.

It should surprise no one.....


It should surprise no one as and when

It happens again and again that

A secular and enlightened idea like 

Informing the citizenry.... 

That gets to be hijacked by

The divisive , factional and 

Self seeking forces..... 

To their utmost personal benefit 

Feeding to the gutters by robbing

The common people's faith in 

Human values.... 

That have more than once brought 

Peril and Destruction to.... 

The very core of secular spirit

That sustains humanity in its survival.


Criminals in disguise....


People who are amenable to corruption 

Mistrust others.....

While those who are dubiously positive are 

Just criminals in disguise.

Acts and Rituals....


All expressions are in contrast to 

Something else....

Everything else is Ritual.

Ashoka the great..

The possibility of .....

A most radical transformation is 

When there is no moral.....

Opposition with in.

It matters little....

In matters of difference and 

Even rivalries.....

It matters little

which side of the pole One is

But for the truth.....

One holds deep down

In one's heart.

Quote of the day.....


The least initial deviation from the truth

is multiplied later a thousandfold.

-- Aristotle
(384-322 BC) Greek philosopher.

Figuratively speaking....


Wicked do not heed the wise.

             *       *       *        *        *

Those who can not restrain themselves

Should be restrained.... 

But for their own good.

              *        *        *        *       *

Man is his own doomsayer.

             *       *       *       *       *

A dog that chases it own tail is

Never suitable to be....

A pet or service dog

It takes One nowhere....

            *       *       *       *        *

Hatred for others does not 

Elevate one's standing or 

Offer scoring points.


Enemy....

The idea of an enemy is....

A construct.

White - Gray and Black......

Propaganda ( in turn becomes) at its best is....

The cognitive foundation of ....

Pseudo-scientific Humans/Society.

Reality as Ordered.....

If  One/We can not look beyond 

Our Tribe,Caste and Political or Religious sect

What remains outside becomes relevant only for

Self consumption.....

Otherwise it may only merit in

Annihilation and extinction.

It is immaterial ......

It is immaterial how the world sees you or 

What you show your self to be...

You may be a good person or 

May be even a bad person .....

You may be here and there and 

May be lost......

At the end of the day.....

What matters.....

To the true nature of reality and 

To the  creation is..... 

What you do and 

What seed you plant.

Self in its condition....

When one is part of  A self serving group

Irrespective of the feigned objective.....

One has neither individuality....Nor

Self integrity.
