“That I am the Mother, sister and daughter
of my Bharat...
What ? Respect and dignity
are my birthright possessions …
Why ? Bharat, the country, is my Mother...
How ?
Forget about me,
become at least the recognised worthy face
of your Mother..!!”
~ Amitabh Bachhan
21. Good character is more to be
praised than outstanding talent.
Most talents are, to some extent,
a gift.
Good character, by contrast,
is not given to us.
We have to build it piece by piece,
by thought, choice, courage,
and determination.
- John Luther

39. This is our planet!
We all live in this little place.
All our wars…
All our problems...
All our greatness and misery…
All our technology, our art,
our advances…
All our civilizations, wild life and flora
All races, religions…
All governments, countries and states...
All our love and hate…
Six billions souls in constant agitation…
40. Doesn’t it make you think:
In the cosmic space,
we have with us too little space to live in.
Instead of living quietly,
we make all noises,
for all wrong reasons and
make things difficult for others
to live peacefully.
Also, our tiny planet looks so small and
fragile.
Good for all of us to be simple & humble!
42. As in the microcosm
so is the macrocosm.
As in the atom,
so is the universe.
As in the human body,
so is the cosmic body.
As in human mind,
so is the cosmic mind.
- The Vedas

seeking God The Almighty
49. Pasula vanne veru Paaleka varnamou,
Pushpa jaathi veru Pooja yokati;
Darshanamulu veru Daivambu yokkati
Viswadabhirama vinura vema.
Cows are of different colours and patches;
but, the colour of the milk is only white;
Similarly, Flowers are of various colours, fragrance, and size
but, either alone, or together, as a garland, they serve the
same purpose when they reach the feet of the Lord,
for worship.
Various Seers, Prophets and Great Souls – visualized, perceived
and announced the realized truths as rules, code of conduct, do‟s
and don‟ts, as religious precepts, etc. Notwithstanding the
apparent differences, how can the underlying TRUTH be different?
If only all the people realize this reality, come together and worship the
Lord – in any manner, by any name, in any form – Everybody will be
HAPPY – Surely, the Lord will appreciate such an effort – that is
the spirit behind UNIVERSIAL BROTHERHOOD.
60. Why
there is a need for
focusing our
attention on

To live ~ you need health
To be healthy ~ you need healthy habits

simplifying the whole thing we will refer to this as

of course, the right type of education.
This education must give you
the wisdom, and the ability to discriminate.
