There is no wealth like knowledge , and no poverty like ignorance.
- Buddha
Everyone has the ability and it is only to be unearthed at the appropriate
time.
A person who has adequate knowledge of dharma and
also its impact can only understand the truth and the
principle of highest dharma
Success in life can be achieved only by hard work and not by merely wishing for it. No animal will like to enter into the mouth of a Lion that is sleeping.
...and yet those who seek knowledge :laser:
(the wealth) are dissatisfied and unhappy out:
while those steeped in ignorance :bored:
(and are poor) are so happy and satisfied!!! :loco:
Where is the life we have lost in living?
Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge?
Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
T.S. Eliot (1888 – 1965)
Here is a beautiful Rubaiyat from Omar Khayyam:
Oh, come with old Khayyam, and leave the Wise
To talk; one thing is certain, that Life flies ;
One thing is certain, and the Rest is Lies;
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.
(XXVI)
we are what we think.All that we are,arises with our thoughts.With our thoughts we make the world.Speak or act witha pure mind and happiness will follow you as your shadow unshakeable.. Dhammapada.
Many people think that
puraana = puraathana
and not applicable to the present!
