To be responsible.....

When it come to responsibility

It is always 

Oneself....

To begin with.

What Lies....... In matters of Lies.........

In matters of lies

Lies....... 

Both visible and invisible 

Deception and Corruption

Conflict and Litigation.

Who is not blamed ?

They blame those 

who remain silent, 

they blame those 

who speak much, 

they blame those 

who speak in moderation. 

There is none in the world 

who is not blamed.

-- Gautama Budha.

To be........../ Tik Tock...........

What you think yours is

Not yours....

It is just a Tik Tock  of

Reality breathing in and out 

Be aware and let go......

So that your heart remains 

Untarnished.

That which is A real construct and ...Yet an illusion..../ Dharma as Entropy and Evolution.....

To give way to and 

To have a sense of reality

Determinism works and operates 

With in a framework of 

Time......

Where all time and

Its constructs........ 

Which apparently give us

A sense of reality are

Subject to change and entropy

Where-as in the totality of

Annihilation and 

Ending of time 

For oneself (death) and 

The world to be......... 

Everything is 

Null and void....... and  

Only dharma........

The essence of all living

That which gives justice is

The only unchanging reality

Where life......... 

In its creation and

Continuity becomes

A possibility.

Quote of the day......

The scapegoat has always had 

the mysterious power of unleashing 

man's ferocious pleasure in torturing, 

corrupting, and befouling.

-- Francois Mauriac.(1885-1970) 

Nobel Prize in Literature (1952)

Self and Ingenuity..../ And then there were none.....

If a person is ingenious 

With an intent and malice enough 

To make up something.....

He or she can come up with all

That can be deemed as ev·i·den·tia·ry Or

Find something they wish......

Others may believe in and

A person with sufficient ingenuity 

Can find evidence anywhere  

To build a case against others.

--- Agatha Christie.

What is the appropriate behavior..............

What is the appropriate behavior 

for a man or a woman 

in the midst of this world, 

where each person is clinging to 

his piece of debris? 

What’s the proper salutation 

between people as they pass 

each other in this flood?

       *       *       *       *       *

Let none find fault with others; 

let none see the omissions and 

commissions of others. 

But let one see one’s own acts, 

done and undone.

-- Gautama Budha.

Being Lured.......

It is a man’s own mind, 

not his enemy or foe, 

that lures him to evil ways.

-- Gautama Budha.

Distinctions... and Difference........

In the sky, 

there is no distinction of east and west; 

people create distinctions 

out of their own minds and 

then believe them to be true.

-- Gautama Budha.

Verifiability......

Verifiability is not about 

His word or Her word or Their word Or

A belief....A tradition .... A custom etc...

It is not even about what

A judge would admit or not

It is about finding for oneself 

What was /and is...

Thus spoke the grey parrot

When Men became mute.

Real Learning....

Real learning comes about 

When the competitive spirit 

has ceased.

― Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Quote of the day......

 It is a great importance to set 

A resolution, not to be shaken, 

never to tell an untruth. 

There is no vice so mean, so pitiful, 

so contemptible and he who permits 

himself to tell a lie once, 

finds it much easier to do it 

a second and third time, 

till at length it becomes habitual, 

he tells lies without attending to it, and 

truths without the world's believing him. 

This falsehood of the tongue leads to 

that of the heart, and

in time depraves all it's good dispositions.

-- Thomas Jefferson.(1743-1826), 

US Founding Father, 3rd US President
drafted the Declaration of Independence.

What it is to understand.....

 If we can really understand the problem, 

The answer will come out of it, 

Because the answer is not separate from 

The problem. 

― Jiddu Krishnamurti.

Quote of the day......./ Proverbs 24:26........

An honest answer is...... 

The sign of true friendship.

-- Proverbs 24:26.

Freedom from the Known.........

Thought is so cunning

So clever......... 

That it distorts everything for 

Its own convenience.

― Jiddu Krishnamurti.

To question a Lie.......

Every time

The world fails 

To question a Lie

It looses

A part of..... 

Its humanity.

Quote of the day.....

Most of our faults are 

more pardonable than 

the means we use to conceal them.

-- François Duc de La Rochefoucauld

Quote of the day.....

I love agitation and investigation and 

glory in defending unpopular truth 

against popular error.

-- James A. Garfield (1831-1881). 

20th President of the United States (1881)

Quote of the day....

It is easier to find a score of men 

wise enough to discover the truth 

than to find one intrepid enough, 

in the face of opposition, 

to stand up for it.

-- Archibald Alexander Hodge (1823-1886). 
American Presbyterian leader, 

principal of Princeton Seminary.

       *        *        *       *        *

Today the grand jury is 

the total captive of the prosecutor

who, if he is candid, will concede 

that he can indict anybody,

at any time, for almost anything, 

before any grand jury.

-- William J. Campbell (1905-1988).
