The Greatest Weakness :)
“The greatest weakness of most humans
is their hesitancy to tell others
how much they love them while they're still alive”
~ O.A. Battista
Good Quotes... Labels Limit us!
Labels limit us
"When I let go of what I am,
I become what I might be."
-- Lao Tzu
Be aware that any label puts limits on you. Today, experience how it feels to let go of the labels.
Feel the freedom, the spaciousness, the infinite potential of simply being.
"With every breath, the possibility of a new aspect of self arises."
-- Wayne Muller
"As long as I am this or that, I am not all things."
-- Meister Eckhart
Create a personal mission statement. Identify your vision, values, virtues, passions and meaning of life.
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
-unknown
Best of All
In the Walk of Life, Do Not Worry of people moving ahead of You.
Concentrate. Take Your Time and be careful not to fall.
But once You are ready to run, make sure You are the Best of All

done.

The telepathic interferences detected by the Portal have indicated the presence of a lot of activity in the Brain/Mind of the Owner of the E-mail Rajesh.Sreenath@cognizant.com
And a careful & graceful translation of the interferences have given reference to the following symbols which have been identified to belong to the more-common form of communication of Mortals, called the English Language.
This triggered the auto-generated reply in the English Language.
If the language of the prospective communication was something else, then just think of something else so that the Portal can identify the change in the Brain-wave patterns and generated a new telepathic-interpretation of the message and reply in the so-apt language or any other form of communication.
If there was no prospective communication, and the telepathic interferences detected were just coincidental, then please do ignore this communication and try to Forget the existence of the communication, otherwise the paradox of being-and-not-being might cause further complications in the operation of the Portal.
Thanks for the co-operation.
P.S: If the communication was abrupt or unclear, then just think again, to get a fresher reply.
Regards,
Auto-mailer

Subject: Love thy Nature...
Hey Hey… Don’t Love Your Nature… Love OUR Nature… let us live a life close to the nature … all this hooplah, hype, glam-sham and Moolah is just a hallucination.
What is real is that we are one part of the nature, and we should be proud and happy for being so!!!!
If you have no relationship with Nature, you have no relationship with man
Nature is the meadows, the groves, the rivers, all the marvelous earth, the trees and the beauty of the earth
If we have no relationship with that, we shall have no relationship with eachother.
- J.Krishnamurthy
The only difference, the very only one, between those who are free and the others, is that
Those who are free have begun to understand what they really are and have begun to practice it.
- - Richard Bach in “Jonathan Livingston Seagull'
I am like the sky, beyond all limitations
I am like the sun, separate from the things it manifests
I am ever fixed and immovable like the great mountain,
And I am like the ocean without shores
- - Sri Shankaracharya in ‘Vivek Chudamani'
Be free, make your own laws – they shall obviously be under the purview of the Laws of Nature… Keep your Creativity Alive – don’t live life like a Machine… we are not meant to be so… we are alive to live like living beings … do things that are good to you, and the NATURE(not just the PEOPLE) around you… Let Nature take care of you … Take Care of Nature….
Take your EGO Caps off and Put on the ECO Caps…
"He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."

Venkat.
Words - Logic... very good!!
antasy, abandoned by reason, produces impossible monsters; united with it, she is the mother of the arts and the origin of marvels. (Goya)
For every complex problem, there is a solution that is simple, neat, and wrong. (H. L. Mencken)
It's always easy to see both sides of an issue we are not particularly concerned about. (Anonymous)
Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence. (Manly's Maxim)
Logic is in the eye of the logician. (Gloria Steinen)
Logic: The art of thinking and reasoning in strict accordance with the limitations and incapacities of the human misunderstanding. (Ambrose Bierce, "The Devil's Dictionary")
Man is a rational animal who always loses his temper when he is called upon to act in accordance with the dictates of reason. (Oscar Wilde)
No, no, you're not thinking; you're just being logical. (Niels Bohr)
Only a brave person is willing to honestly admit, and fearlessly to face, what a sincere and logical mind discovers. (Rodan of Alexandria)
The Army has carried the American ... ideal to its logical conclusion. Not only do they prohibit discrimination on the grounds of race, creed and color, but also on ability. (Tom Lehrer)
The decision doesn't have to be logical, it was unanimous. (Anonymous)
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. (George Bernard Shaw)
When I come upon anything--in Logic or in any other hard subject--that entirely puzzles me, I find it a capital plan to talk it over, aloud, even when I am all alone. One can explain things so clearly to one's self! And then, you know, one is so patient w (Lewis Carroll)

Let not words n' ideas capture you
stay free and happy as your own nature
you'll see everything
you are the one, without a second
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dissolve the universe in your being
The understanding that arises is full of peace
Bliss of immortal contentment of pure spirit
Ever vulnerable to itself
Also only one and supreme
Let it be – true nature
Fly and flow…
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sky is a living being
The clouds have so much to say
they're pouring on the earth,
that receives it in divine gladness
- isn't it all love?!
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We're just thoughts n' feelings
What secret sustains everything
What is the truth
What's me?
I don't know but I am
- and I also know
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
you come and shine and go
and come back again….
Its dancing – now and forever
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no secret
Don't ask where is the love
Find it and you'll be liberated
Begin by trusting life
n' your self!
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you watched yourself in silence…
Seen your self without the mind?
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to see thru' all hurdles and risks
Clearly - life springing out of me
Each lives one's own world
Sharing their universes
Rejoicing the free ride around the sun
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the goodness of life flow from you
Give up all responsibility (to the ego)
Taste your innocence
The last word and object
Eternal is the timeless home in my heart…
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you stared at a star lately
Have you slept outside
Free – not from anything
But free with everything
the ego & its spiritual pursuits
– as petty as our space explorations in the infinite expanse
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the awareness of being, simply
without the clinging thought
freedom from words
free from understanding
liberated, without an onus
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
life is self – fulfilled, you need do nothing
beauty, within and without
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
all is truth and will always be
veils of change
only an illusion changes
beautiful sun-soft clouds
and human life
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it's a free game, a divine sport
know that there is no flaw in nature
there is never scope of fault – any
truth is truly…happily every after
there is one energy, one potency – thyself
there is nothing else, beyond or besides
˜~~~~~~~~~™
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
like the waves we live our lives, the mind blows the wind
and consciously we think we are the waves
up n' down, happy n' sad, rising n' falling
forgetting our true nature, our depth, our expanse
our power and our own glory!
