A World of Beggars

Everyone is fully entitled to choose his or her own path. But how do we know whether we are on the right path? We will know we are travelling on the right path and direction when we are respectful of and at peace with oneself, and progressing to realise our full worldly and spiritual potential. Our lives are ultimately defined and measured by our own selves, and concepts like peace, potential, happiness, contentment and success are purely experiential. They belong exclusivel

All things fact and fictional - The Globalists Hymn Book

"All things fact and fictional the mighty media made them all. They give us 'facts' to see them and lips so that we might tell, How great is Media all mighty that manufactures all 'facts' well." Perception is erroneously considered as fact and perception is a creation of the mind. Influence thoughts and one can influence minds and the history of the world. Embellish the past, and chart the course of the future. Globalists are like an army of spiders manning and controlling a

Not every teacher is a Guru.

5th of July 2020 was Guru Purnima. 'Guru Purnima' is the full moon day (Purnima) in the month of Ashadha (June–July). The day is dedicated by Buddhists, Hindus and Jains to their Gurus. Guru, is a title used by most people much too often, both erroneously and inappropriately. While a Guru is a teacher not every teacher is a Guru. A key element in vibrant civilisations is the beauty of language. Language permits the continuous evolution and refinement of human thought and exp

Meaning of Developed, Developing and Underdeveloped.

We often hear the terms 'developed countries', 'developing countries' and 'underdeveloped countries'. It has nothing to do with progress or backwardness. It simply means industrially developed or under developed. Why is this significant? Futurist Alvin Toffler in his seminal book 'The Third Wave' proposes how humankind developed and evolved in waves from early nomadic people, till today. Ever wondered why some societies were rich and powerful and now not so? In the earliest

Soft Power of Indian Civilisation

For 2000 years, the great civilisations of India and China had an excellent relationship. Between them they represented 52% of global GDP.

Religion, is about emotion, not knowledge.

As I sat there listening to Gurbani Kirtan, (hymns), I was transported to another dimension, an inexplicable, wonderful, time and space. Overcome with emotion, tears rolled down my cheeks, I could not hold them back. Tears have salt, just as do the oceans, that is why, we shed tears when we connect with Creation. The Guru's message carried on the waves of music, and melodious voice, engulfed my entire being with a great calm yet I felt awake and alive. When the minstrels fin

Why do I write and blog?

A friend asked me, "Why do you write?" A good question, because I never really thought about it. This is human nature at work. We always act on instinct and then analyse later on. I suppose its 'later on' time now. Well, why do I write and speak? With ups and downs, my life has been like a roller coaster ride. I am grateful, that my life been made richer, more interesting and better because of the contribution of many people, some still living and many more of those who pre

We know everything about you

We know what you are, what you did, and also what you will do Psychometrics, a data-driven sub-branch of psychology. We are all competing with one another, as individuals, groups, organisations and nations. If one can get hold of information and analyse it correctly, it can be used to deadly effect to gain advantage over competitors and enemies. Those who have this capability, will possess great strategic leverage. This capability or weapon is 'Psychometrics'. Psychometrics,

Kill the mentor

In an effort to progress and succeed, we humans constantly seek to acquire information and knowledge . There is however a great gap between theory and reality and then there are nagging doubts about what could be relevant and how best to apply that knowledge. Experience is a great but slow and expensive teacher. Probably its greatest drawback is it rarely helps the experiencer. However if the experience is well articulated and shared, it can help others to achieve success a

Feel Alive and be Happy

In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of the famous craftsman Daedalus, the creator of the Labyrinth. They were imprisoned in a tower by King Minos. Clever Daedalus managed to create two sets of wings for himself and his son, that were made of feathers glued together with wax. He taught Icarus how to fly and warned him not to fly too high, which would cause the wax to melt, nor too low, which would cause the feathers to get wet with sea water. Together, they flew out of the

“You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.” ~ Swami Vivekananda We run here and there, flit about everywhere, seeking spirituality. Called by many names on many paths spirituality is often confused with religion.

Where is the Wisdom we have lost in living?

Where is the Life we have Lost in Living? Where is the Wisdom we have lost in Knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information? ~ TS Eliot A unique aspect of information is that, the raw material, the process and the final product are all the same, information. Information combines with other bits of information mixing and blending to provide new information. This helps explain why we have a continuing explosive growth of information, which is continuously incr
