Reflections..........

Patriotism is the Virtue of 

The Vicious.

               *           *            *

Selfishness is not living as 

One wishes to live

It is asking Others to Live as 

One wishes to Live.

              *            *            *

Seriousness is...... 

the only refuge of shallow.

               *           *           *

The aim of life is........ 

Self-development

To realize ones nature perfectly

That is what each of us is here for.

--- Oscar wilde.

The Nature of Problamatic.......

One should address every issue

That presents itself as "Problematic"

With equal and objective concern

Otherwise one would end up with

A flawed Understanding of .....

The times one lives in.

Past Obessions.....

We should not try and create 

The past in Future

Which would be 

Our undoing in History

We have to Leave behind 

Both Good and Bad of the past

As in the understanding of 

What it has been and

Create our present and 

Work towards.....

A future that equitable 

With freedom and compassion

For each other.

       *        *        *        *        *

                  PSALM  1

Blessed are the man and women

Who have grown beyond 

Their Greed and have put an 

End to their hatred and

No longer nourish Illusions.

But they delight in the ways things are and

Keep their hearts open day and night.

They are like Trees planted 

near flowing rivers

Which bear fruit when they are ready

Their leaves will not Fall or Wither

Everything they do will Succeed.

---- Stephen Mitchell.

Universal Unitarian Church.

Orwell on Journalism,,,,,,,,,,

Journalism is printing what someone else 

does not want printed: 

Everything else is public relations.

  ― George Orwell

Injustice as Slavery...........

Justice is A process by which we try to Redress

Our mutual grievances in the most Humanistic way.

In the end nothing can recompensate or replace

One's Loss and Deprivation.

The Injustice that is not redressed in its times

As a consequence is passed on to

Future generations as a burdened Slavery.

True Education is all about finding A way

To put an end to such Human inconsistencies,

So that Humanity can have complete Freedom and

The ability to Restore Justice for One and All.

One way to Serve God.........

మానవ సేవే మాధవ సేవ ...!


--- Mahatma Gandhi.

Righteousness.........

Ones Righteousness is Not greater than Others Suffering.........

Righteous Repression..............

The Culpability of Weak minded

in any Divided society

Lacking in the ability for Humility and Compassion

Seeks to reinvent Itself by

Righteous Repression and Abuse of Humanity.

Once Fortunes and Concerns..........

I have more important concerns in Life....

Other than what people deem Just

Not because.......... 

I have only Pennies to spend on them

They are  no less important

On the contrary........ 

They are more important because

I have only pennies spent.....

Where Fortunes are needed.

To Preach and To Pray.........

Gather around few Words

that are close to your Heart.

May be they are Few

but they will still be True.

Success in Speculation.......

Speculation is the least measure of Success.

Cruelty and Grief............

Amidst Cruelty lies Sadness..

In grief, One is alone.

Valmiki to Sage Valmiki............

Criminal thoughts and 

Criminal behavior 

Germinate from 

An inferior consciousness 

That has a psychological apatite for 

Self fulfillment.

Its roots lie in the nature of intelligence 

That is lacking in spiritual

Religious and cultural evolution .

About Truth and Clarity in Others........

Truth and Clarity is not what we try to See in Others

 but what we keep in Ourselves.

Misery.............

Misery is born out of A distorted mind

that is incapable of facing Reality.

Virtue........

Bigotry is A virtue of the Deceived.

Resistence.........

The only justified Human action is Resistance...

In Memory of Reverend Martin King Jr............

To be accused of a crime and 

To stand alone

To be questioned and 

To answer for once innocence 

After all is a triumph of Truth

On the other hand...... 

To accuse someone falsely is

To commit a crime 

Which is not only a true disgrace

But also a sin against humanity and 

One self.

          *       *       *       *       *     

Cowardice asks the question, 

"Is it safe?" 

 

Expediency asks the question, 

"Is it politic?" 

 

Vanity asks the question, 

"Is it popular?" 

 

But, conscience asks the question, 

"Is it right?" 

 

And there comes a time when 

One must take a position 

 

That is neither safe, 

nor politic, nor popular, 

 

but one must take it because 

one's conscience tells one 

 

that it is right.

-- Martin Luther King Jr.

Einstein on Spirituality......

The further the spiritual evolution of 

Mankind advances

the more certain it seems to me that

the path to genuine religiosity 

does not lie through the fear of life and 

the fear of death, and blind faith but 

through striving after rational knowledge.

-- Albert Einstein(1879-1955) 

Belief as Guide.........

Believe nothing merely 

because you have been told it.

Do not believe 

what your teacher tells you

merely out of respect for the teacher.

But whatsoever, 

after due examination and analysis,

you find to be kind, conducive to the good, 

the benefit,the welfare of all beings 

that doctrine believe and cling to,

and take it as your guide.

-- Buddha
[Gautama Siddharta] (563 - 483 BC), 

Hindu Prince, founder of Buddhism.
