Moses heard a shepherd on the road praying: “Lord, where are you? I want to help you, to fix your shoes and comb your hair. I want to wash your clothes and pick the lice off. “I want to bring you milk to kiss your little hands and feet when it’s time for you to go to bed. “I want to sweep your room and keep it neat. God, my sheep and goats are yours. ” “Who are you talking to?” Moses could stand it no longer. “Only something that grows needs milk. Only some one with feet needs shoes. Not G’d!”  The shepherd repented and tore his clothes and sighed and wandered out into the desert. A sudden revelation came then to Moses. “You have separated me from one of my own. “Did you come as a Prophet to unite, or to sever? “I have given each being a separate and unique way of seeing and knowing and saying that knowledge. “What seems wrong to you is right for him. “What is poison to one is honey to someone else. “Purity and impurity, sloth and diligence in worship, these mean no...

If I had my life to live over, I would try to make more mistakes I would relax. I know of very few things that I would take seriously. I would go more places. I would climb more mountains and swim more rivers. I would eat more ice cream and less bran. I would have more actual troubles and fewer imaginary troubles. You see, I have been one of those fellows who live prudently and sanely, hour after hour, day after day. Oh, I have had my moments. But if I had it to do over again, I would have more of them – a lot more. I never go anywhere without a thermometer, a gargle, a raincoat and a parachute. If I had it to do over, I would travel lighter. If I had my life to live over, I would pay less attention to people telling us we must learn Latin or History; otherwise we will be disgraced and ruined and flunked and failed. I would seek out more teachers who inspire relaxation and fun. If I had my life to live over, I would start barefooted a little earlier in the s...

सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है, देखना है जोर कितना बाजुए कातिल में है । करता नहीं क्यों दुसरा कुछ बातचीत, देखता हूँ मैं जिसे वो चुप तेरी महफिल मैं है । रहबर राहे मौहब्बत रह न जाना राह में लज्जत-ऐ-सेहरा नवर्दी दूरिये-मंजिल में है । यों खड़ा मौकतल में कातिल कह रहा है बार-बार क्या तमन्ना-ए-शहादत भी किसी के दिल में है । ऐ शहीदे-मुल्को-मिल्लत मैं तेरे ऊपर निसार अब तेरी हिम्मत का चर्चा ग़ैर की महफिल में है । वक्त आने दे बता देंगे तुझे ऐ आसमां, हम अभी से क्या बतायें क्या हमारे दिल में है । खींच कर लाई है सब को कत्ल होने की उम्मींद, आशिकों का जमघट आज कूंचे-ऐ-कातिल में है । सरफरोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है, देखना है जोर कितना बाजुए कातिल में है ।  रहबर – Guide/  लज्जत – tasteful /  नवर्दी – Battle/   मौकतल – Place Where Executions Take Place, Place of Killing / मिल्लत – Nation, faith  

Isis (Egypt) Not only was she a principal deity in the rites connected with the dead, but she was also a magical healer, and as a mother figure and arbiter of fertility rites, she was a role model for women. Isis was the daughter of the earth god Geb and the sky goddess Nut and was married to Osiris, King of Egypt, whom she restored as a mummy after his brother Seth threw him in the Nile and then chopped him into pieces. Artemis (Greece) Daughter of Zeus and Leto and the twin sister of Apollo, the sun god. Most commonly thought of as the goddess of the hunt, she is often depicted with a quiver full of arrows, and accompanied by a deer or a bear. However, Artemis could also refer to a number of other deities, depending on the time period or the region — and many of them had a more nurturing role. Frigga (Scandinavia) Wife of Odin, associated with the hearth, the mead hall and childbirth. But while that seems a boring portfolio, it’s an important one given the violenc...

Some of the greatest men have believed that certain events in their lives were preordained and that certain individuals had the rare gift or precognition. An example is that of Dr S Radhakrishnan, a professor of philosophy, who later became President of India. If you read the life of Dr Radhakrishnan by his son Gopal, you will come across the following passage on page 143: 'Sometime during these years when Radhakrishnan was spending the summers in Europe, he met Cheiro, the best-known palmist of his day. Cheiro studied Radhakrishnan's palms and forecast that he would reach the top, be the head of a State, but would before his death, lose his mind. Both these prophecies seemed at the time so wildly off the mark that they became a family joke.' The above passage bears eloquent testimony to two facts -- preordination and the gift of precognition by rare individuals. One of the most famous incidents is that of Winston Churchill who had a lucky escape from a bomb...
