Meanings

You are so right.
Every word has layers upon layers of meaning.
The depth to which we can explore and be enriched is incredible.

Education

There are 2 kinds of education:
education for making a living, and
education for living as a human being.
It is now being recognised at the highest academic levels that while the education system the world over is doing a fairly good job about making a living, it pays almost no attention to education for living as a human being.
That is why we have these enormous financial and moral scams.

The need of the hour is not an increased emphasis on the first with its focus on technology and skill development but on the second aspect.
We need to emphasies what it is to be a human being and how to relate with other humans and the rest of the created universe.

World class quality

What is world class quality?
A myth, created by the intellectuals.
Every moment I give the best I can to anyone I come into contact with.
The rest does not matter.

A New Opening

Whenever a difficulty arises in our usual path,
it means a new branch is opening up for us.
It is foolish to continue the old path
and feel frustrated.
Much wiser to explore the new opening
and find a new lease on life.

The Beginning

Often I am asked, Where do we begin?
The answer is obvious.We begin with ourselves.
The next question is, How do I begin?
Let us all take a pledge to clean up our living spaces,
remove all things which have not been used, say for 6 months,
like books, CDs,clothes, shoes etc.
Let us reduce our consumption of things that are status symbols.
This will also help to reduce clutter from our minds.
The results are dramatic.
The tenor of life is completely changed.
