Understanding mankind......

When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or 

A Christian or A European, or anything else, 

You are being violent. 

Do you see why it is violent? 

Because you are separating yourself from 

the rest of mankind. 

When you separate yourself by belief, 

by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence. 

So a man who is seeking to understand violence 

does not belong to any country, to any religion, 

to any political party or partial system; 

he is concerned with...... 

the total understanding of mankind.

― Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Our legacies....

The wrongs and evils of this world 

Historically are not our making....

But what we have for our times is

The ability to stop continuation of

Such wrongs....

The ability that which is given to 

Us collectively and invested in

Each one of us.... 

Where we can put an end to 

Such wrongs being perpetuated Or

Allow ourselves be swept under 

The currents of wrong historical forces 

In continuation.....

That not only undermine our existence

But make us leave behind

The very misguided foot prints of 

Our false inheritance.....

As a legacy and direction for

Our future generations to come

Leaving their lives with the burden of 

Another Past......

That is not free from the wrongs and evils of 

Yesteryears.

Quote of the day......

Artistic creation, after all, 

is not subject to absolute laws, 

valid from age to age; 

since it is related to the more general aim of 

mastery of the world, 

it has an infinite number of facets, 

the vincula that connect man 

with his vital activity; and

even if the path towards knowledge is unending, 

no step that takes man nearer 

to a full understanding of 

the meaning of his existence can be 

too small to count.

---Andrei Tarkovsky.

Quote of the day......

 Knowledge is truthful only 

If it’s based in morality.

----Andrei Tarkovsky.

Quote of the day....../To be Or not To be......

Do not repeat after my words 

that you do not understand. 

Do not merely put on a mask of my ideas, 

for it will be an illusion and 

you will thereby deceive yourself.

― Jiddu Krishnamurti.
