The Zen master was having trouble coming up with a new koan to test his students with, as he wanted it to be a particularly good one, hard to solve, by anyone. He went outside, and kicked a stone along the path, and then...

Shiva @innertalks I was also told Windows Defender was enough for home use. The issue was antivirus programs disable it without informing us. And when you sign in to a free subscription, they keep asking us to add more and more paid ones. One of my relatives...

Shiva @innertalks Scammers are dime a dozen operating throughout the world. In a way it is the good against the bad daily fight. "A fool and his money are soon parted" comes to mind though the victims are trusting good souls. At times, I wonder about anti-virus...

Shiva @innertalks God could well say - you created the mess, it is up to you to clear it. "Reset password" comes up at the most inopportune time! Yes, we have to double up our efforts in old age to catch up with new appliances and applications by the day. It is...

Shiva @innertalks I recall after a major landslide disaster when many died, the survivor was told by media - one of the few "lucky ones'. He retorted the lucky ones were those who perished as he had lost all his possessions - family and material. He did not know...

Shiva @innertalks That is what Hindus believe. We get what we deserve and it is carried forward too through our many reincarnations. Some are set on their paths, come what may, and refuse to see reason. Then that is their fate - they willingly traverse their chosen...

Shiva @innertalks The heart should act not only as a sieve to separate the wheat from chaff, as it were, but also reflect our inner knowing inspired through our unbroken connection to our creator. We take certain paths that can prove irreversible and too late to...

Did you pray this morning? If you do, is it a routinely task every morning? This Sunday in our class for male adults, prayer is our lesson handled by our teacher. We learn that prayer has two types or forms. The common is...

Shiva @innertalks I put myself in others' shoes and try to understand what they really need - not just go by their words. If they can benefit in any way, that made my day.

Shiva @innertalks I recall one know-all at a workplace. He just refused to listen to others opinions and proved such a put off. He brushed others away with a smirk. Then one wanted to pin him down and confronted him. He told right in the face of the Smart Alec that...

Shiva @innertalks God would have sensed a few leaders here, with itchy fingers, want to have a go at the nuclear button that keeps staring at them. After all, the fastest hands determined who survived in the Wild West. "Patience has its limits" applies more to...

Shiva @innertalks Yes, God should have a magic bullet to set things right as no one, let alone God himself, will admit defeat! If God throws up his hands in despair, then that will not reflect well on him. It could also be recorded somewhere to haunt him and...
