Good morning, friends. I have written many times that I listen to news in the morning because I would have nightmares if I listened to them at night. But today, finally I read that if you started following the Mediterranean diet...

Shiva Yes, it is not easy not to get depressed when we hear the mindless violence that is initiated by our wickedness. I am a vegetarian and take care to have a balanced diet.

The Sufi Shiek, Wolesk Verborski, was talking to his students about how most people can become enslaved to something, or another, in their lives. "Even being enslaved to nothing, is being enslaved to something," he...

Shiva The material world can be a charmer but can lead us astray if we are feeble-minded. I have seen some going hammer and tong after all that glitter and then unable to retrace their steps. They become wedded to their single-minded pursuit - wealth for its own...

The Zen master, Friko Zersplosko, was dying of lung cancer. He had loved his pipe, and even though he was a Zen master, he could not give up his habit of pipe smoking. As he lay on his deathbed, he asked his student to...

Shiva @innertalks Agreed. The intention matters too. The rules are there as an enabler too to get things going. In this case, the document was not with me and the other person did not bother to search for it. His excuse was they moved their office and it was lost....

Shiva @innertalks I think we can all tap from his fountain of wisdom with earnest effort. However, why only the rare few are able to do so is a mystery for me - maybe, they are the chosen ones with a mission and have earned the laurels earlier through dint of...

Shiva @innertalks I was feeling lost in my formative years. I never really had much confidence in myself till I started my Chartered Accountancy. The working world opened my eyes that I had to be a professional to earn my keep. I pegged away for years and was happy...

Dictionaries seem to tell it's about blindly accepting a truth, holding as an opinion, or having a firm conviction in something. Etymology suggests it's a compound word and common sense would agree. Two options I...

Shiva @sabtraversa Yes, but we may need "outside help" for a change in our mental makeup as we are easily manipulated towards hatred and one-upmanship We tend to judge others from our narrow outlook now.

Shiva @innertalks When I was in the high school, I had a few who had failed and retained in the same class. There was hush hush murmurings about them with some stigma attached too. We could feel the hurt inside them on their faces being labeled failures. I...

Shiva @innertalks Theories and such are meant for (the measly) us - the nuts and bolts that we need to know. However, God has the biggest hardware to store it all, and available too at finger tips, so to say. Then again, it is said great scientists had...

Shiva @sabtraversa When we put faiths above coexistence, we will know no peace. In fact, our actions then show hatred than love that is personified in creation.

Shiva @sabtraversa I believe in a Supreme entity as creation is not an accident. But it is beyond our comprehension. The more we try to understand, we realize the more we do not know. Then again our faiths differ. So I try to understand from all angles and sources...

Shiva I cannot believe blindly - that is not me. I have no issues with those who do. I think it is a mental makeup and upbringing too. Belief can give us solace in times of sorrow but then we still question - why me?

Shiva @innertalks I have dentures to cover a few missing teeth. I do not know what life will be like without any teeth. Maybe, we have the ability to adjust to reality and circumstances.

Shiva @innertalks Yes, it is a brick by brick over many lifetimes. We should get it right as long as it takes! That reminds me of repeats of the failed pupils in schools that was a nightmare at such a tender age.
