Thoughts for the day

Dear sir,
I like the concept where the parents encourage their kids to earn their pocket money by mowing the lawn and helping in the other household chores - instead of spoiling them with free a unlimited pocket money.
It is nice and wise to teach the dignity of labor when the kids are quiet young.
with warm regards,
V.R.

Dear Elder Sister,

I cited USA, because this country more than any gives respect to all labor. I worked as a bus boy in a restaurant, a cabbie and so forth when I was a student. They do not look down on folks on account of the work they do. Hence my comment one can find such folks here.

Sorry Sri Naina-Maribus. I stand corrected. :)

Regards,
KRS

But there some like her in all walks of humble life in USA, who are humble, reflective and at the same time in the pursuit of their happiness.

I am sure people like her abound in the world in all

countries at all times!

What is significant here is that she explicitly acknowledged the role and relevance of BG in her life. This kind of openness is something you encounter mainly in the USA.
 
On the other hand, since we as well as BG belong to India,

the ref to BG will not create as big an impact as when referred by Niki.

An enemy can partly ruin a man, but it takes a good-natured injudicious friend
to complete the thing and make it perfect.
Mark Twain
 
In physics, the truth is rarely perfectly clear, and that is certainly universally the case in human affairs. Hence, what is not surrounded by uncertainty cannot be the truth.

Richard Feynman
 
Fire is surrounded by smoke.

But fire is NOT smoke.

Fire is different from smoke.

In the same way Truth may be surrounded by uncertainty

but truth is a certainty.

Physics is defined as a science of accurate measurements.

So there is no uncertainty in Physics!

Truth is always certain despite being clouded by uncertainty.

Each of us has the liberty and

intelligence to form own opinions. :decision:

So there is no need to split one's onions :frusty:

just because someone else differs in opinions! :)

My eyes are getting moist – may be the onions?
I am speechless - does that constitute an opinion?

[h=1]காயமும், வெங்காயமும்![/h]
உரிக்கும் போது உள்ளே ஒரு ரகசியம்
உள்ளது போலத் தோன்றும்; ஆனால்
உரித்த பின் நம் முகத்தில் வழியும்,
ஊர் முழுகிவிடும் அளவுக்கு அசடு!

வெங்காயமும் நம் காயமும் பல வித
வேறுபாடுகள் கொண்டவை அல்ல!
ஒற்றுமைகளே மிக அதிகம் அன்றி
வேற்றுமைகள் அல்ல என அறிவீர்!

ஒன்றாய் மறைந்து நிற்கும் நம் ஆத்மா;
இரண்டாய் இருக்கும் அறிவும், மனதும்;
மூன்றாய் இருக்கும் நமது சரீரங்கள்;
பௌதிக, காரண, சூக்ஷ்ம சரீரங்கள்!

ஐந்தாய் இருக்கும் பஞ்ச பிராணன்கள்;
ஆறு ஆக இருக்கும் அறிவுத் திறன்கள்;
ஏழு ஆக இருக்கும் சப்த தாதுக்கள்;
ரத்தம், மஜ்ஜை, மாமிசம் முதலியன.

பத்து ஆக இருக்கும் இந்த்ரியங்கள்;
கால், கை, வாய், மல ஜல துவாரங்கள்,
கண், நாசி, நாவு, செவி, தோல் எனவும்
கர்ம, ஞான இந்த்ரியங்கள் விளங்கும்.

“இது அல்ல, இதுஅல்ல” என்று கூறியபடி,
இவற்றை ஒன்று ஒன்றாக விலக்கினால்;
உரித்த வெங்காயத்தில் உள்ள உண்மைபோல்
உள்ளே ஒளிந்திருக்கும் ஆத்மா வெளிப்படும்!

ஆத்மாவும், ஜடமும் கலந்த காயத்தை,
அன்னப் பறவை போலப் பிரிக்கக் கற்று,
ஆத்மாவை நன்றாக உணர்ந்திடுவோம்;
ஜடத்தை மொத்தமாக விலக்கிடுவோம்.

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
 விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி.
 
The man who used to say the word "vengaayam" KNEW that his messages were empty though they appeared voluminous and impressive because of the play of words.
That is precisely why he used to say " vengaayam" all the time!

True.
When Feynman or Heisenberg said: "In physics, the truth is rarely perfectly clear ...." ,
they certainly would have implied physics as merely a way of interpreting observations in nature, theorising about the way nature works.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.
