Nearly 80 percent of humans are religious, pray regularly and believe in some sort of soul and connection to the divine. In some ways we are finite beings craving an infinite connection.

Do you believe in a Soul? If yes - how does the soul matter to you? If no - how are we all connected? Have you evr thought abt it? Most religions espouse the soul principle - can the world be explained without the need of a soul? I am just trying to rethink spirituality in the current century.

Arjuna - you speak sincerely, but your sorrow has no cause. The wise grieve neither for the living nor for the dead. -- Gita (2.11) The above quote is what hooks people to reading the Gita.

I just realised that it is extremely difficult to start something new 😅😅. Especially with a full time job and a full time family and social life! I have been trying to start the book wisdom club which I wrote about a few months ago.

Without fail, the resident bush turkey comes at 5:00pm and surveys the grounds. He’s fabulous.

I chuckled out loud

The first rule of reading a wisdom book is simple, but brutal: Don’t read to confirm. Read to be changed.

Most people open a wisdom book expecting answers. But the great ones — the Gita, the Tao Te Ching, the Dhammapada, the Meditations — don't give you conclusions. They give you contradictions. They poke at your certainty.

How we read a wisdom book often matters more than what we read. A single sentence from the Gita, the Tao Te Ching, or Marcus Aurelius can either strike like lightning or pass by like fog-depending not just on the reader’s knowledge, but on their state of mind, life experiences, and even personality.

Ok - here it starts. I had been thinking about starting a public wisdom project for a long time. Who wants in? Do add your personal recommendations also. This is going to be a wonderful journey 😀 📚📚 #books #writingcommunity #wisdom

Life seems to be full of Chaos right now. I wonder if the world cycles through periods of quiet and chaos all the time. I had also stopped posting on a regular basis since Dad had a cardiac arrest in Feb. Luckily he survived and has recovered well. Will try to get back now again. 🤞🤞

This is so calming 💕💕

I don't think AI is required to finish humanity. Modern life's burdens are already doing that job. Look at Japan. www.tokyoweekender.com/japan-life/n...

It's just amazing to think that we get assembled out of thin air and then we just dissolve back into thin air. So why so serious?? 😄💐💐

Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion, fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it. -- Hannah Arendt

Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man, and our politicians take advantage of this prejudice by pretending to be even more stupid than nature made them. -- Bertrand Russell

The truth knocks on the door and you say, "Go away, I'm looking for the truth," and so it goes away. Puzzling. -- Robert M. Pirsig
