Thoughts for the day

Caliber of man varies according to one's potential. Some, who do not begin the work apprehending
problems are generally titled men of low caliber; some who start the work but stay put for sometime
on account of obstacles are known as men of medium caliber and the last but the least is men who
even after being disturbed repeatedly by problems, do not stop the work and carry on whatever may
be the outcome and those are called men of high caliber.

I have to make two things clear.

I am very sincere with the people who enter my thread and reply / comment, but I really DO NOT have time to enter all the threads. I may enter a thread if it catches my fancy OR if I have something useful to say. :blabla:

I did not know that you had posted a video in that said thread.

You yourself disappear for a couple of days or more in between two consecutive posts. :behindsofa:

Is it possible for an old lady with one hundred physical limitations, two hundred odd chores in the house and umpteen posts to prepare on DAILY basis, to do more than what I am struggling to do??? :juggle:

Apart from Harini, there was this one: titled "Stroke of insight"

I don't recall you commenting on it.

Stroke of insight was a fantastic video! :ranger:

The right side of the brain helps us merge with the universal consciousness and the left side makes us merge with our individuality.

How very wonderful!!!

So the seers, sages and the REAL swamis who could lose themselves in the Universal consciousness, knew a way to get away from the left hemisphere and into the right hemisphere.

Makes a lot of sense now! :clap2:

More later! :wave:
 
houghts for the day

Every person has a role in the house irrespective of the fact of his status,
and he/she is felt important to be consulted at sometime or the other,
whether he/she is liked by the members of the family or not.

Wow! You really liked it !!

To elaborate further on this topic, I am posting another video (see below) which will also support something I referred to in an earlier post.
 
Though I should be starting a new thread for this item, I thought I will post it here in this thread, as it really constitutes something to think about, as “thoughts for the day”.

Do you believe Heaven and Hell exist?

Vilayanur S. Ramachandran, well-known neuroscientist, from Chennai, is best known for his experiments in behavioral neurology - experiments which, despite their apparent simplicity, have had a profound impact on the way we think about the brain. He is currently Director of the Center for Brain and Cognition at UC, San Diego.

Ramachandran was born in Chennai in 1951. He is the grandson of Sir Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer, Advocate General of Madras and co-architect of the Constitution of India. His father, Vilayanur Subramanian, was a UN diplomat.

Here is a video on Heaven & Hell by Ramachandran

Something to think about

Vilayanur S. Ramachandran will be featured in the Adam to Zeus thread soon! :typing:
Thank you for bringing his name to my notice.:pray2:

I am sure you many more persons who deserve to be featured in the A to Z thread but you do not give their names to me !:pout:

MY comment will follow after I watch the video.

Have you made any sankalpam to appear only once in three days??? :rolleyes:
 
Did the doctor get totally confused? He says the right hemisphere which said YES to God's existence is an atheist and

left hemisphere which said NO believes in God!! :dizzy:
 
Everyone is anxious about the future and sometimes become big dreamers
but circumstances and situations may change the best and the right
opportunities too....to slip from their purview.

You noticed the slip up too! Yes, யானைக்கும் அடி சறுக்கும் !!
 
I am sure he said "A theist!" and

both of you heard it as "atheist".

He does not look like the "slipping type".:nono:

I went on to listen to his talks on “Synaesthesia"

I have written article on that interesting phenomenon.

I am posting it here below.

Music and Colors!


In a study among a group of college students it was found that at least 15% of them imagined colorful images which made the music more enjoyable. The idea that there is a link between music and the color is a very old one.

The interlinking of senses is named as “Synaesthesia”. It is most common in the form of “color-hearing”, the involuntary perception of color by a person listening to music. It varies from person to person and is difficult to be measured or standardized.

Synaesthesia has been reported and supported by many scholars. Sir Isaac Newton believed that each of the seven notes in the musical scale corresponded to each of the seven colors in the spectrum. Whenever he saw a color, he could hear the note associated with it.

Newton’s Music and Color Theory states that the interval tone between D and E corresponded to Red, the minor 3rd to Orange, 4th to Yellow, 5th to Green, major 6th to Blue, minor 7th to Indigo and the octave to Violet.

Synaesthesia had wide appeal to artists and writers, as a source of metaphors. Famous composers have based their musical compositions on the beautiful art work of famous painters. Conversely, famous painters have derived inspiration from the musical compositions or the abstract idea of music.

To the neurologist, Synaesthesia remains an inexplicable and mysterious phenomenon. It is known that the information coming from the different senses are processed in different parts of the brain. The person who experiences Synaesthesia may have some kind of connections between these areas.

Drug induced “fusion and confusion of senses” may indicate that we all have such connections but under normal conditions they remain suppressed or inhibited.

The International Synaesthesia Association has its head quarters in U.K.

You are right when you observe that he does not look like the ''slipping type''. But he DID say 'an atheist' clearly

and continues to say that the left hemisphere believes in God! As Naina Sir says யானைக்கும் அடி சறுக்கும் !! :ohwell:
 
In the children's rhymes, we read that "Sun rises in the east and sets in the West,
Wind goes swirling, swirling and returns, All the rivers go to the Sea, yet Sea is not
full, One generation goes and another generation comes, and the Earth remains for
ever". Thus let not worry about the coining of words Atheist and Theist or theism,
because we are all under the one ruler and creator of this Universe. To be very
precise, everyone should train up their child or children in the way he/she likes to
go, and automatically when the child/children grows/grow, there is no chance of
deviation or change of designated route.

Optical illusion:

I never ever thought that one of the 'click's in my camera would have this effect!!

There are two buildings in the photo. When we scroll down, the buildings appear to move away form each other

and when we scroll up they appear to come nearer!! :thumb:

We can give an explanation like this: If our thoughts are high, we come closer to others and..........

Yes, I will be very happy to pass on the names of other eminent Indians in due course.

No, I have not made any sankalpam. It is just a conspiracy of circumstances, not unlike what you had complained earlier. I would in fact love to spend more time interacting with members like you in this forum, but I am preoccupied with too many things right now. Hopefully, I should get back in form soon.

Right now I have two great Indian doctors ready to be featured
in the Adam to Zeus thread.

Hope you will be "supplying" me at least one name a month, so that the thread will be kept alive and not be sealed with a Brahma's knot!!! :)

Please "Come back to FORM" (whatever it might mean) soon. :thumb:
