OF THIS, THAT AND WONDER WHAT?


How grossly in the name of Krishna men violate his Karma Principle, that of retaining the right to work but renouncing the right to its fruit!

Is there any end to the misery of the one that has made his God, his final arbiter, outside of himself and has only heaped attributes on Him?

Renunciation of lust and lucre is symptomatic of spirituality; abstinence from carnality is the sure sign of godliness. Renounce that you be free.

This world is a vast market-place where experience is bought at the cost of vital energy and men trade and women too, sugarcoating the pills of pain.

Love shines in freedom but suffers a shadowy death when lust, lurking in the corner, announces its sovereign right over the fragile form of man.

This world is cruel to the disinherited, to the dispossessed.Our duty lies in restoring dignity to these children of God and this is dharma.

Love seems to be the only way out in a world as hate-driven as ours. But love is the fruition of purity, selflessness and high moral culture so rarely come by.

Modi's demonetisation move to flush out black money reminds one of Muhammad Bin Tughlaq's experimentation with copper and brass coins which, though far ahead of the times and bespoke the vision of the monarch, eventually failed owing to logistical considerations.

When politicians parade before the President to plot the downfall of the government of the day, they ought to remember that their days of perfidy are nearly over. The nation will rise to its own defence soon and oust the villains who make a mockery of the voters who send them to office each time.

It is heartlessness that is the root of all evil; it is boundless love that is the panacea for the world's ills. Come, let us love all.
