TO RECEIVE IS EASY, TO GIVE SO DIFFICULT

To receive is so easy, to give so difficult. This springs from attachment to the puny self and is fundamental to exploitation. At the root of it is ignorance, ignorance of the essential oneness of existence despite its apparent diversity and discreteness.

Poulome Mitra Shaw You have written a book I think I saw it in the airport. Is that your book? I would want the amazon link if available there.Sugata Bose I have written none as yet. Are you by any chance mistaking me like so many others have done in the past and continue to do so even today to be the TMC MP Prof. Sugata Bose who has written a few books?Poulome Mitra Shaw Then it is written by somebody with your name. Writes like you. I thought I will pick it up. I reached late so didn’t pick up. Now am regretting. I get a feeling I will like that book. He shares his name with you and your kind of nationalism.Sugata Bose I will remember this compliment of yours, albeit not in the right context, though, through no fault of yours, and I will, if you will still be staying in contact in any manner with me through my writings or otherwise, definitely remember to apprise you at the very outset when I do chance to publish my own work. As of now the only publication I have is a translation work of the life of Swami Yatiswarananda published by Ramakrishna Mission, Chennai, who have conveniently, though, bypassed the act of naming both the author (Surjasarathi Gangopadhyay) and the translator (myself) and published it. The book's name is 'Swami Yatiswarananda As We Knew Him'. It is a two-volume publication and my piece is at the very beginning of the first volume and bearing the name 'Biographical Profile'. I am giving you hereby the link to it. https://www.amazon.in/Swami-Yatiswarananda.../dp/8178835800
