Our profession leaves a permanent indelible mark on us.

A doctor is always a doctor whether he has retired or is still practising. So also a lawyer, a professor and a policeman.

I have been a teacher for so long that it has become a HABIT for me to make corrections wherever I think they are necessary.

But I should remember that I am not a teacher here and there is no need to correct.

No one wants to be corrected and most people prefer to live the way they are. I shall let them do what they like to do. :)

The spacings were adjusted and a spelling mistake corrected. Otherwise is the very same post you had posted.
You write very well but forget to use the space bar at times. That is what I corrected. Look for the green highlighted words below. Here after Iwon't correct anything. It is a PROMISE.

Hello Mami:

அப்படியெல்லாம் ஒன்றும் சபதம் எடுத்துக்கொள்ள தேவையில்லை. I was not complaining at all. Please, Please, continue to be the same convivial jocular person that most of us find you to be, your postings always a delight to read, even when it is a repartee. A graceful hint from you as to what is amiss( if any ) in a posting will be a desirable and welcome feature of this forum.

Thanks for the compliments. Regarding the use of the space bar, it is not really me forgetting to use the space bar, but it is either the keyboard on my PC missing to transmit the ‘space’ character even when I hit the space bar, or the interface-software that is being used or something else. Occasionally there is also a problem called ‘jumping cursor’. In recent times, I have been plagued with these problems frequently. Generally I compose the matter offline prior to posting, using the sluggish and unwieldy Microsoft WORD 2010 , and subsequently copy-and-paste it. I thoroughly check for errors, including spelling, spacing etc. Still, when I copy-and-paste , and submit online, such things like missing spaces occurs. I start editing the post online, but most of the time the TBF website freezes when I try to save the edited item, and I get a message saying "do you want to stay on the page or leave the page' .Editing a post after uploading it online is such a bugbear, that sometimes I feel disgusted and let the spacing errors stand, since, imho, substance is more important than form.

The ‘spacing’ problem can occasionally lead to a situation like சுக்குமி ளகுதி ப்பிலி instead of சுக்கு மிளகு திப்பிலி, so it will indeed be a helpful courtesy service if someone catches it .

Largely true. But, if there are any obvious bloopers in any posting, it would indeed be gracious of anyone to point it out or ‘correct’ it, irrespective of whether a teacher or not.

Once a teacher, always a teacher. Not everyone is privileged to become a teacher. And a teacher’s dharma is to point out errors and suggest ways of correcting them, notwithstanding problems arising from dilemmas such as generational, linguistic, communicational and technological gaps.

And finally, I am on the same side of the fence as you are!

The above reminds me of an incident that took place in a residential School.
The teacher used to say about the significance of Impulse Control which is a curriculam
in their syllabus. When I asked for, to know about it in detail, I was explained that
it is nothing but to help the children to make proper choices in behavioral pattern
and their healthy participation in the activities of the School and to avoid improper
responses from their end.

# 90. தரிசனம் போதுமே.

குளிர்ந்த சந்திரன் வெப்பத்தைப் போக்கும்.
கற்பக மரம் ஏழ்மையைப் போக்கும்.
கங்கை பாவத்தைப் போக்கும்.
ஆனால் ஒப்புர்வற்ற சாதுக்கள் தரிசனத்தாலேயே
இவை எல்லாம் நீங்கி விடும்.

A Fence in between keeps the friendship greener! (A proverb) :)

Proverb? What ethnicity does it have?

A fence is meant to separate neighbours from quarrelling about their greens, so real greening involves removing all fences. Which figuratively means everyone on the same side of the fence! So, our views represent the difference between 'a cup half full vs a cup half empty'!

91 . சாது சங்கம்

சாது சங்கத்தில் இதயத்தில் விசாரம் செய்வதால் ஏற்படும் மிக உயர்ந்த நிலை இப்பிறவியிலேயே ஏற்படும். போதனைகளாலோ, பாடுவதலோ, சாத்திரங்களைப் படிப்பதனாலோ, புண்ணியச் செயல்களாலோ மற்ற வழிகளாலோ கிட்டாது.
 
92. ஜீவன் முக்தி.

சத் சங்கத்தால் உலகத் தொடர்புகள் நீங்கும். அதனால் மனத்திலே இருந்து வாசனைகள் அழியும். அவை செயல் அற்றுப் போகும். ஆகவே ஜீவன் முக்தி உண்டாகிறது.
 
God talks to everyone of us - but only if we sit in silence :tape:

and in solitude we can listen to Him. :ear:

But we never prefer to be either silent or in solitude.

That is why He is too :bored: to talk to us and appears to be :sleep:
 
A great philosopher said that God wants to be with those, perhaps who
want to be with HIM. Every one may not like to live with what they get
but a few put in their genius and talent with discipline in their acts to
see that their life is not miserable or racked with sorrow.

93. மூர்த்தியும், தீர்த்தமும்.

மூர்த்திகளும், தீர்த்தங்களும் மகாத்மாக்களோடு ஒப்புமை ஆக மாட்டாஆ! என்ன ஆச்சரியம்! தீர்த்தங்களும், மூர்த்திகளும் பல நாட்களுக்குப் பிறகே மனத் தூய்மை அளிக்கின்றன. ஆனால் சாதுக்களை தரிசிக்கும் போதே உடனே மனம் தூய்மை பெறும்.
 
We had a Jagadhguru Sammelanam arranged by Radhae Krishna Trust at
Ambattur from 17th December 2011 to 12th Jan 2012. It was titled as
Chennayil Jagatguru Sammelanam. Around 40 or so Mahaswamigals blessed the
occasion. This is an unique event of visiting different Mutts at a place and
blessing the audience and the devotees. This holy meeting gained a very
great importance amongst the religious people and was very enthusiastically
welcomed by all devotees and audiences of this area. Shri Radhae Krishna
Trust has its own website : Welcome to Radhae Krishna Trust (Regd.). The above functions
were covered through this website live. Everyday one homam was performed
and Vedha Gana Paraayanam session took place, besides Namasankeerthanam,
Spiritual Discourse, Abhang Sankeerthan, Ayyappa Bhajan, Layasamarpanam,
Srinivasa Kalyanam and Thiruvilakku Pooja were performed. It was a very great
event to have Darshan of different Mutt Acharyas spread over from India.

FIVE PRINCIPLES OF ISLAM
1. There is no God but God(Allah), and Muhammed is His prophet.
2. Prayer to Allah five times daily
3. Charity- helping the poor and providing for upkeep of places of prayer.
4. Fasting- never drink alcohol or eat pork and certain other foods; and no eating, drinking or smoking during daylight for one month (Ramadan).
5. Pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in a life time. After Muhammed's death, the Muslims tried to develop specific policies based on what Muhammed said and did at various times. These were compiled into a collection known as Hadith. From Hadith and Koran, the scholars in 7th and 8th century developed a set of rules for worship and for life. These rules are now known as SHARIA or Islamic law. To govern the state, the Muslims elected the succesor whom they called Caliph. Muhammed's son Ali was selected as the fourth Caliph. The majority, Sunnite consider first three Caliph as genuine whereas a minority, called Shiites believe that it was Muhammed's wish that Ali be the first Caliph. The separation of Islam into 'Sunnite' & 'Shiite' has no exact parallel in other religions. Under these two denominations there are several sects with somewhat different beliefs.
 
94. கனமான எடை.

மிதக்கும் பொருள் மூழ்கவேண்டுமானால் அதன் மீது கனமான எடையை வைக்க வேண்டும். அது போல சாதுக்கள் சங்கம் மனத்தை இதயத்தில் ஆழ்த்திவிடும்.
 
He who interrupts the course of his spiritual exercises and prayer is like a man who allows a bird to escape from his hand; he can hardly catch it again.
