Great men think alike

All of us have heard about a famous story. Once women asked Abraham Lincon to marry her. She further explained " the child born will be beautiful like me and intelligent like you. Abraham LIncon asked her " what will happen. If things will happen in the opposite way'? Once a man asked the great french philosopher Blaze Paskal." If I have the wisdom like you, I will also become a more good human being. " the reply of the philosopher was like this " Please try to become a more good man. Then you will get the intelligence like me." My father's younger brother is having the capability to coment upon everything on every subject. His ability for a quick reply to a question is quite amazing. Some ten years back I asked him " Can you tell me as to what is "Mind"?" His reply was like this " we are defining everything with our mind. In that sense we can not define mind with our mind itself" Eventhough many of you may not be agreeable to this, I liked his reply. I am telling this because recently I have ocassion to read a book about Ramana Maharshi. I could read that he is also having the same opinion as said by my father's brother about mind.(I am not equating him with these great personalities. But since he has no habit of reading books, I believe that the above definition came from his "mind" only)
