Why are friendships sometimes lost?
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?'

Who is a friend?
"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.

To open the window of the mind
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.

Travel, makes us smart ....
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

Because I think ...
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.

Love is an insanity ..
About Guru Wonder: Facebook - Twitter - linkedin - SikhNet Most people fail to realise that Love is a matter of the heart and not a matter of the mind. 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
