The only good is knowledge;
and the only evil is ignorance.

SUPREME KNOWLEDGE IS THE 'SELF-KNOWLEDGE' (ADHMA GNANAM). IGNORANCE IS THE VEIL (EVIL) OF KNOWLEDGE. Natpushpa.

Dear Sri PRS, Well said . It is true. I used to purchase a lot of books.Now due to paucity of space ,a huge lot of books I have donated to a Charitable Institution's college. Of course I have retained all the books on religion.spirituality, astrology etc. so that I can read them up to the end of my life and then it may be useful to the future generations.Now of course the soft copy has solved the storage problem, thanks to the advancement in computer technology.As you said I am much delighted in reading books.All used to comment on my spending on books.But even after many years of retirement the thirst in reading books has not slowed down.Your quote has consoled me.Thank you very much. Wishing you Health & Happiness. Natpushpa.

Teachings should be full of ideas
instead of stuffed with facts.

Dear PRS,

You are mentioning about God. But here we are his questioning HIS very
existence. Certainly , of all His creations, Man ( and woman ) must be HIS
greatest creation.

Genius does what it must,
and talent does what it can.

[h=3]Lesson 187[/h][h=4]Sloka 32 from Dancing with Siva[/h][h=3]Is There Good Karma and Bad Karma?[/h]In the highest sense, there is no good or bad karma. All experience offers opportunities for spiritual growth. Selfless acts yield positive, uplifting conditions. Selfish acts yield conditions of negativity and confusion. Aum.
[h=4]Bhashya[/h]Karma itself is neither good nor bad but a neutral principle that governs energy and motion of thought, word and deed. All experience helps us grow. Good, loving actions bring to us lovingness through others. Mean, selfish acts bring back to us pain and suffering. Kindness produces sweet fruits, called punya. Unkindness yields spoiled fruits, called papa. As we mature, life after life, we go through much pain and joy. Actions that are in tune with dharma help us along the path, while adharmic actions impede our progress. The divine law is: whatever karma we are experiencing in our life is just what we need at the moment, and nothing can happen but that we have the strength to meet it. Even harsh karma, when faced in wisdom, can be the greatest catalyst for spiritual unfoldment. Performing daily sadhana, keeping good company, pilgrimaging to holy places, seeing to others' needs--these evoke the higher energies, direct the mind to useful thoughts and avoid the creation of troublesome new karmas. The Vedas explain, "According as one acts, so does he become. One becomes virtuous by virtuous action, bad by bad action." Aum Namah Sivaya.

In one of the article, Shri Bharathi Theertha Mahaswamigal of Srigeri Mutt
in his Anugraha Bashanam (i.e. his Address) mentioned that whatever we
do without sraddha i.e. involvment and dedication, things may not materialise.
Sri Mahaswamigal quoted a stansa from Bagavad Gita to that effect.

Aasirithdaya uthan thatham
Thapasthatham Krthyanchathi
Athasiththiryuth Paarthaa
Nasathar Prethya Noopika

To conclude, it says that whatever we do
without sraddha, we may not be able to
achieve the desired result.
