Mysteries



AT RANDOM WITH MYSTERIES!

The cosmos is full of life, energy and activity and mysteries. We many a time tend to think that, thinking like this is as if a waste. Forgetting that our very birth and existence is no less a mystery. We come across many a times friends saying, “Life has become monotonous, no change, no thrill and no enjoyment….., I am sick of this stand still state of affairs”. Why do we normally feel like this. The thing is , we become so much outward…and objective and physical and realistic…. That we miss the cosmic reality which we come across many a times…at every walk and action and moment of our day today lives. Is it not a wisdom to look beyond what is visible….what is implied….what is between the lines. When we plan our life so much….use latest method of time management… to achieve what we want to achieve…..cosmos interferes with or without our awareness…..we adopt to those things which are given to us….we don’t know really…when and how…nature gives us….what we think was due to us. The balance that we strike in life between what we want to do, how much we are able to do. …..how much is realized of what we wanted to do…how many things that we wanted to do and achieve have not happened indeed, ……the balance that strikes in these trials and tribulations…..is it wholly or partially only due to our so called own initiatives?






The way we behave in society is no less a mystery. How many times we don’t wonder on our own acts and activities. How many times we confess for doing wrong things…..that looked wrong to us….after what has happened. How many times do we not succeed in making others believe on exactly the opposite of what we did…..and what we thought! How many times did we not take pride in boosting ourselves of our so called fallacious success….misleading others on what was utterly wrong according to our own conscience! We take pride in doing right things. We take pride in not doing…..and proving that we did it. We take pride in encouraging others to achieve. We take pride in encouraging others to go wrong. We feel sad that we could not get hold of the comforts of life. We feel sad that others are more comfortable than us.
How many times do we realize that we become sad and happy for the same distractions and achievements in life.

Mysteries are more mysterious than we think. Mysteries are more abundant than we think. The greatest mysteries are in and around us…..no need to go far off to Himalayas!

Life is mysterious. Life is wonderful. If on the way of life, we miss the understanding and realization of thrill, uncertainty, doubt and discomfort……we really have missed a lot….we are going to miss a lot. Before it is too late…..be busy….do things…come up in life….be

significant……….but…but……don’t miss life itself…which is another name for mystery!.........
MYSTERIES ARE MYSTERIES..MYSTERIES ARE WORTH CELEBRATIONS!

A Song Offering by
Rabindranath Tagore
(Source : Gitanjali/Rabindranath Tagore.-New Delhi : Indialog Publications, 2002)

“…..you sit there smiling”

I boosted among men that I had known you. They see your pictures in all works of mine. They come and ask me, “Who is he?” I know not how to answer them. I say, “Indeed, I cannot tell.” They blame and they go away in scorn. And you sit there smiling. I put my tales of you into lasting songs. The secret gushes out from my heart. They come and ask me, “Tell me all your meanings.” I know not how to answer them. I say, “Ah, who knows what they mean!” They smile and go away in utter scorn. And you sit there smiling. And you sit there smiling.

A Song Offering by Rabindranath Tagore
(Source : Gitanjali/Rabindranath Tagore.-New Delhi : Indialog Publications, 2002

“Thou hast made me endless….….”

Thou hast made me endless, such is thy pleasure. This frail vessel thou emptiest again and again, and fillest it ever with fresh life. This little flute of a reed though hast carried over hills and dales, and hast breathed through it melodies eternally new.

At the immortal touch of thy hands my little heart loses its limits in joy and gives birth to utterance ineffable.

Thy infinite gifts come to me only on these very small hands of mine. Ages pass, and still thou pourest, and still there is room to fill.

“Thou hast made me endless….”

oooOwOooo

books and knowledge and information



BOOKS

I've traveled the world twice over, Met the famous; saints and sinners, Poets and artists, kings and queens, Old stars and hopeful beginners, I've been where no-one's been before, Learned secrets from writers and cooks All with one library ticket To the wonderful world of books. ~ Anonymous ~

OVERABUNDANCE OF INFORMATION

What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence, a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it.Herbert Simon, economist


KNOWLEDGE

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.Samuel Johnson
(1709 - 1784), quoted in Boswell's Life of Johnson

Library is not a shrine...!


________________________________
Dear all ...!!!!
_______________________________



Cousins, Norman

The library is not a shrine for the worship of books. It is not a temple where literary incense must be burned or where one's devotion to the bound book is expressed in ritual. A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes to life.
