 “If you punish a child for being naughty, and reward him for being good, he will do right merely for the sake of the reward; and when he goes out into the world and finds that goodness is not always rewarded, nor wickedness always punished, he will grow into a man who only thinks about how he may get on in the world, and does right or wrong according as he finds advantage to himself.”

- Immanuel Kant

साक्षी भाव. ...Just be.. சும்மா இரு சொல்லற

witness feeling

साक्षी भाव -

Sakshi Bhava

Yes, just be.

Watching thoughts,

With no reactions.

The whirling thoughts 

Dwindle down on their own.

Then absolute silence,

That is indescribable.

Once you experience that,

It becomes your nature.

To anyone asking 

Is it difficult to do that,

Answer is

Try and you will find it.

சாட்சி உணர்வு

साक्षी भाव

ஆம், மெளனமாய் இரு.

எண்ணங்களைப் பார்த்துக்கொள்,

எந்த எதிர்வினையும் இன்றி.

அந்தச் சுழன்று கொண்டிருக்கும் எண்ணங்கள்

தானாகவே குறைந்துவிடும்.

பின்னர் முழுமையான மௌனம்,

அது விவரிக்க முடியாதது.

அதை ஒருமுறை அனுபவித்தால்,

அது உன் இயல்பாகிறது.

யாராவது கேட்டால்

இதைச் செய்வது கடினமா?

பதில்:

முயற்சி செய், உணர்ந்துக்கொள்வாய்.

YOUR LIFE .....IN YOUR HANDS

 Your living is determined not so much by 

what life brings to you

as by the Attitude 

you bring to life;

not so much by

what happens to you

as by the way 

your mind looks at

what happens.

- Khalil Gibran.

Dire urgent - weathering the climate

Our reality is not static. We need swifter processes and swifter structures to deal with climate change.

- Marina Silva 

Man at helm matters

The effectiveness of a Constitution, however good, depends on the people working it.
