A Doctor and his innocent patient
This happened many years ago in our small town. There was only one doctor, a general practitioner for the town and several small villages around. The clinic was very small with a small laboratory and a few staff.  The doctor's job was pretty tough but he was always cheerful and enjoying his job.  Many times the villagers would come with vegitables ... more...

List of employees to Live
Yesterday our new office boy was asked to make a "Leave Register".  I was stunned to find in the computer the caption "List of Employees to Live".  News spread quickly and the waves of laughter. Everyone sighed a relief to find their names in the register and also there was no 'to be shot' list. Rounds of humour were still going on the matter. more...

The Human Nature
Nothing can be more intriguing than the multitudes of human nature. He can be very kind, very cruel, a stream of love, a mountain of hatred, very gentle and humble and also very rude and insulting.  It is amazing that all these good and bad qualities can be seen within ourselves (almost each one of us) in varying magnitudes at varying times dependi... more...

Life is a Journey
How do we approach life?.  Should we completely focus on what we have to achieve with full seriousness and accomplish our goals within our life times. Or, should we just go through letting the things happen on their own believing everything is pre-destined and whatever the destiny has in store let it happen?.The answer is in between these two extre... more...

Purpose of Life
One of the great personalities said "Purpose of Life is Life of purpose".  Life is not without a purpose and once there is life there has to be a purpose.  Without bothering about what the great people said about purpose of life let us come to logical arguments to put together some light on the subject.  Why there is life in the first place? Why it... more...

Harmony in Life
You see everywhere in nature so much of harmony.  The flowers produce the nectar, the honey bees and the butterflies survive on nectar and at the same time help in pollination and hence in reproduction of plants.  It is amazing to see the plants without any brains (!???) know exactly what is required for the butterflies and what they can do for the... more...

What is Soul
Soul is a concept, it is not a thing, therefore it exists everywhere in the body, that it knows every point in the body at every point of time.  If it is not a thing and a certain part of the body is amputated a part of the soul does not go away with amputated part, then what happens in a transplantation like a kidney the body part continues to fun... more...

COMPASSION
I am often amazed by this concept of compassion.  Is it natural with hard wiring.  Is it because of our education and upbringing.  Why do we feel the pain when someone is in pain.  You are going on road and in front of you a scooter skids and the man, the lady and the kid fall and get injured.  What are your feelings.  You feel the pain.  You are h... more...

Doing so will in no way diminish what you have already; in fact, the chances are you will only enrich yourself further.  When you share with the spirit of helping others, you develop and grow yourself — this is the power of sharing. Because then, the universe shares with yo...  more...

Practical Spirituality – Part III
Self Realization From previous posts in this series, we have seen that the ultimate goal of our life is to attain eternal happiness. Pragmatically, in a smaller scale, the purpose of our day-to-day activities also is nothing else but to be happy by fulfilling our desires. At the same time, as we have discussed,  happiness is not something to be “ga...  more...
