Give me a life without begging and pleading
Give me a death without pain and suffering
Give me a place near you after my death
Please give me, my dear God Almighty.
(Ancient Hindu Prayer)
Our body is a chariot pulled by five horses.
Sense of vision
Sense of speech
Sense of taste
Sense of hearing
Sense of touch
The charioteer who can reign in these horses to lead them on a path of moderation will lead a life of fulfillment and happiness. (Bhagavadgita)
Caterpiller goes into a shell
Breaks the confines of it’s shell
Emerges as a butterfly
Man goes into introspect
Liberates from the grip of ego
Emerges to make world a better place.
It is a treasure that can’t be stolen.
It provides a façade for daily life.
It provides wealth for poor and rich alike.
It is a teacher and a friend in foreign land.
It is what makes us human.
Knowledge
One should never stop pursing it.
(Appoximate transalation for a Telugu poem. Author unknown)
Beautiful Lotus blooms in a pond, surrounded by dirty water and moss. It rises above the muddy surrounding like cobra out of a bed of fallen leaves and twigs. Unconquerable purity of soul always shines bright at any time and at any place.
River run away from mountain like a lover walking away from her lover’s embrace. Both the mountain and the river in doing so bring life and happiness to millions of lives. Noble are the people, who sacrifice their needs to improve the lives of other.
Some of our thoughts are like a twig caught in a whirlpool in the river. The river can not drown it and the twig can not float away from the spiraling water. Wise are those who can recognize and control these thoughts.
A beautiful reflection of full moon in a placid pond can be perturbed by a creating a ripple, but the real moon in the sky still remains in place (Bhagavatam). There is a significant difference between the perceived world and real world. We are guided by our senses to realize the world in our minds in such a way to enhance our individual desires. Despite our perception the reality will remain in tact. Intelligent are those who seek the reality behind perceptions.
