Who around you do you consider wise?

Posted on Aug 10th, 2009 by jagadish : swimmer jagadish
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 10, 2009:

Are you a wise person?....

 ...it's a relative term , so my answer tends to become ambiguous ...but this much i can say : that considering my age i could've been considerably more wiser in 
every  sphere of life !...alas ! that's not to be !...i do have regrets on this count !...

What examples of wise people or beings do you have in your life? /Who around you do you consider wise?

...here my answer is Gaia-specific :

...i humbly consider ALL MY FRIENDS whom i have chosen after great care , with due cosideration   to very limited time i could spare on this site ...but i must add here quiet emphatically that my dear, dear Eli tops the list !...he is a rare , precious gem!...

...when i am mentally perturbed i simply go thro' some of his posts at random and lo ! i become my normal cool self !...Thank you Eli for all that you are here for me ...
...i consider you as my Guru in Gaia  -a la Dronacharya !...

Do you think of yourself as a curious person?

Posted on Aug 8th, 2009 by jagadish : swimmer jagadish
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 08, 2009:

...yes , very , very  curious person !! ...more so being a Geminian !!.....
i think something , speak something else !,...
...speak something which even remotely i don't mean !..
...for obvious reason and in order not to hurt people i go round wearing a ' mask ' , so much so that i have a feeling that the masked face itself  is the real face !...

...it reminds me of two quotes :
 

Every man has three characters - that which he exhibits, that which he has, and that which he thinks he has.

- Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Karr, French critic, novelist (1808-1890)


" I'm Pretty , but I'm not Beautiful.
I Sin , but I'm not a Devil .
I'm Good, but I'm not an Angel .! "

- Marilyn Monroe

What is your responsibility?

Posted on Aug 1st, 2009 by jagadish : swimmer jagadish
This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for August 01, 2009:

 

...i have none !...

...the question is redundant in my case
 as i have already entrusted my sole  responsibilty to

 HIM

 ...since now i belong to Him i have no responsibility of my own !

Thvayi rakshati rakshakai: kimanyai:

Thvayi chArakshati rakshakai: kimanyai:

( **Swami Vedanta Desika in Kamasikashtakam  shloka -8 )

( oh God ! When You are protecting me i need nobody's protection
When you are not protecting me , nobody can protect me ! )

 ( -just a crude translation of the Sanskrit verse )

**Vedanta Desika (1269 - 1370) is the greatest Sri Vaishnava Guru. He was a great poet, devotee, philosopher and master-teacher....
