Depending on our experiences and our learning both formal and informal, religious, social or otherwise we come to generally believe in the East that 'I am a soul with a body' or in the West, 'I am a body with a soul'. Atheists believe different things or disbelieve almost everything. Who am I? Almost all of us will never know the answer though many will seek to know so we can only believe. I believe, 'I am nothing more than energy concentrated in the form of an eternal soul,

Since ancient times, Indians have called humans as 'Manav' or 'Manas' (Sanskrit for 'the being with a mind'). The powerful conscious and imaginative mind of humans with great memory has resulted in the rapid development and evolution of the human mind. Human intellect and superior intelligence has permitted us to dominate all other creatures. The evolved human mind has given us literature and language, the arts and science, spirituality and philosophy, technology and producti

In all societies, animal or human, communication is so vital, that without it, the society would simply collapse. We may not realise it but all communication is actually designed to get others to do something. Why is it that so much teaching and messaging never gets through and we fail to see any action? Erroneously most people believe that a broadcast is communication. A broadcast is simply the emission or sending a message, whereas communication is a two step process, where

In spite of wanting to see his friend, the  wise man restrained himself, thus not visiting his friend for many days. When he did go to visit him, his friend remonstrated, 'Why have you taken so long to visit?' The wise man replied, 'It is better than you asking me, why have you come again?' Friendships are strained and even lost by interacting either too rarely or too often. Friendship is like a 'Diya', an oil lamp. It requires a regular supply of fuel oil to keep  the flame

"Everyone is the other and no one is himself." ~ Martin Heidegger Living in society, means to be pressurised by the masses to behave in a particular way. Some of the demands placed on individuals are reasonable and helpful, There are also a lot of stupid, irrelevant obsolete and harmful  demands placed on us by a section of power hungry, egoistic, greedy, idiotic people along with ideological and religious maniacs. These pressure compel us to behave in an artificial manner su

All great leaders have one common trait. They are possessed by insatiable curiosity and keep on learning throughout their lives. They are all prolific readers. Our current social and schooling systems, the product of organised religion and industrialisation are designed to produce identical thinking cogs, to fit into society. As a result, individuality is seriously threatened if not destroyed. Whether we realise it or not every human being has tremendous potential. All creatu

Being a restless creature, Man feels compelled to constantly travel, seeking, but knows not what. Not all of our travels are physical. We also travel with our minds, hearts and spirit. We travel when we work, play, read, observe, converse, think, contemplate, pray and meditate. Why does the same activity of travel, have a different impact on different people? Why is it that, Travel, makes smart people wise, and fools worse? In my experience it has to do with attitude and leve

Today 5th August 2019 is being celebrated as 'Nag Panchami' day. On this day snakes are revered and offered milk, sweets and flowers as gratitude. Why is Nag Panchami so important? The number one pest and destroyer of crops are mice. Because snakes feed on rats and mice, they are the most economical, effective natural eco-friendly control of these pests, That is why farmers in India have always considered snakes as their benefactors and protectors. While it appears as supers

In 1637 the French philosopher René Descartes proposed 'je pense, donc je suis' (I think, therefore I am). This proposition became a fundamental element of Western philosophy, as it purported to form a secure foundation for knowledge in the face of radical doubt. Until this time in Europe, all aspects of life, religion, economics, society, culture, education, arts, family, military etc. etc. was completely dominated and controlled by the Church. One can control the body and

Intellectuals, who are in the majority try to use their minds to dissect and analyse love. Naturally, they remain unsuccessful and scornful of love and lovers. They think them insane. However, Sometimes people mistake the flutter in their heart and often in the groin as love. They pursue that flutter and when satiated, discov
