My Bharath

People are born to work out their karma.
But you were born to weed out our karma.
Liberation is the general goal.
But you were born for transforming
The very world into spiritual in its core.
Evolution just a primary schooling
You have taught the world
The Param Atman's involution
Carrying the destiny of beings
To the final Realisation.
You are the Terra of the Divine
Lotus, Aravinda of Transcendence!
All loving Mother of beings, every and all!
My Bharath Divine!
You are my worship,dream and solace.
Suprabhath pranams on this happy day.

Reality and Ideology

 What is reality? What is Ideology? Does Ideology reveal and underline Reality? Or Does Ideology block the vision of Reality? When I touch a stone I am just touching a stone. But if I begin to think I am touching matter then do I bring in an idea of matter. Does the idea matter become a cover over the stone? Or am I always in touch with only ideas and pure things are only later deductions? But sensations are they not immediate? Or are they really mediate? The sensations become things only after mediated by processes and interpretations. Such mediation if tampered may not be informative about objects out there but will furnish their details as their own content.

But Thirumoolar makes an axially different statement when he says ' Wood is hidden in the elephant visible. Image elephant now is hidden in the wood. Ultimate Reality now hidden by the world of five elements. In Ultimate Reality is merged this world of five elements.'

Domestic superstitions

 There are some superstitions in persons who ring the calling bell.

First, thinking that the host is just waiting behind the door for the bell to go.

Second, thinking that the host is intentionally delaying to respond even after two successive rings.

Thirdly, thinking that the host will be able to smell from the absence who has come and gone away when the door is opened.

Coupled with this is the comedy - reaching back home or going somewhere, from there making a call through mobile saying that having waited and rang the bell a couple of times, returned with the door unopened.

Best answer to this is always : 'oh sorry my friend. A mismatch. When opened the door nobody was around. It was you at last. Great. Sorry yea.'

Of course you need lot of ascetic practice to maintain the civic temperance.
