The Mirror

In Memory of Reverend Martin King Jr.

To be accused of A crime and to stand Alone

To be questioned and to answer for

Once Innocence after all is a Triumph of Truth

On the other hand To accuse someone falsely is

to commit a crime, which is not only a true disgrace

But also a sin against Humanity and One self.

-----with reference to introspective moments at Occupy Boston.

* * * * * * *

Cowardice asks the question, "Is it safe?"

Expediency asks the question, "Is it politic?"

Vanity asks the question, "Is it popular?"

But, conscience asks the question, "Is it right?"

And there comes a time when one must take a position

that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular,

but one must take it because one's conscience tells one

that it is right.

------ MLK.

Einstein on Spirituality......

2011-12-30T12:38:00.000-08:00

The further the spiritual evolution of Mankind advances

the more certain it seems to me that

the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through

the fear of life and the fear of death, and blind faith

but through striving after rational knowledge.

-- Albert Einstein(1879-1955)

Belief as Guide.....

2011-12-30T12:32:00.000-08:00

Believe nothing merely because you have been told it.

Do not believe what your teacher tells you

merely out of respect for the teacher.

But whatsoever, after due examination and analysis,

you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit,

the welfare of all beings -- that doctrine believe and cling to,

and take it as your guide.

-- Buddha
[Gautama Siddharta] (563 - 483 BC), Hindu Prince, founder of Buddhism

To be One with One's Society..........

2011-12-28T12:36:00.000-08:00

If One can not be Critical and Rebel against One's Society

More so when it is mired in Corruption and Incompetency

Then that Society and Nation is not worth Honoring.

For it will soon Lapse in to A self destructive dynamic

and there is Real disgrace for One to be part of such.

On the other hand Good Men and Women

not only uphold what they Value

But also stake every thing for which they Honor.

Patriotism...........

2011-12-20T14:40:00.000-08:00

Patriotism is A disguise for

The Criminals amongst us

who appropriate the Common rights

while declaring Others as unpatriotic.

Patriotism.......

2011-11-16T17:46:00.000-08:00

Patriotism is the Virtue of the Vicious.

* * *
Selfishness is not living as One wishes to live
It is asking Others to Live as One wishes to Live.
* * *
Seriousness is the Only refuge of The shallow.
* * *
The aim of life is Self-development
To realize Ones nature perfectly
That is what each of Us is here for.

--- Oscar wilde.

Immunity.......

2011-10-25T09:22:00.000-07:00

The very notion of seeking Immunity

For our Actions

Is born out of foolish Delusion

Where One tends to believe that

One's Actions are hidden from

The discerning Eye

The every Act of hiding One's deeds

Either knowingly or Unknowingly becomes

A seed of Cancer One breeds with in

Which like any truth has

Its own consequences in course of time

Where One and All are accounted both

For the thoughts that meditated Up on and

The subsequent Actions.

Healing Ourselves.............

2011-10-17T08:12:00.000-07:00

There in History, Each generation Struggles to

Find a way out of troubled waters and

The conditions that Plague them.

In the ensuing Struggle

They come Face to Face with

The forces that Oppose them

They are No Enemies except for the

Ignorance and indifference

That has taken Root like an

Unattended Disease and

The Fight is to find Ways to Heal the both of US.

- For Occupy Boston.

As a Leader..........

2011-10-17T08:02:00.000-07:00

As an Individual and Leader of Our Times

I have every Desire to Give Others what they Wish for

As long as every Person is allowed their freedom

to lead A life of their choosing and are free

from suffering and abuse and are treated as equal

For that is Democratic and respect for Each other.

To stand Alone......

2011-09-29T11:12:00.001-07:00

One has to be free to be able to

Stand up Alone for Truth.

One could be called a Holy person and

Yet not stand up for Truth.

Jesus said I will put my self on the Cross for You

So that You can walk the path of Truth and

It is not about Me

But about You and Your Children I speaketh.

To Give and To Take................

2011-09-26T07:08:00.000-07:00

It is in the nature of Beast ( Animal Spirit)

To grab, To take and even Steal

Where as by Compassion and Charitable Spirit

One comes to have Divine Rights.

Monkey Business.....

2011-09-21T08:50:00.000-07:00

All Action born of Human Intelligence

Is Monkey Business.

The path to Perfection................

2011-09-18T10:25:00.000-07:00

The path to Perfection is

A Riddle and a Long drawn

Existential Struggle

That is not complete

Even after the Mortal departure.

Moral distinction and Fascist spirit.............

2011-09-18T10:17:00.000-07:00

A pass time of indulgent Society

where Once Actions are invested in

Overblown Mischief and Unhealthy Fear mongering

Leading to Abuse and Annihilation of Others

Instead of seeking to Eradicate

the "Real crime and Criminals"that are amongst (Affect) Us.

Subjects of False Morality.........

2011-07-02T10:03:00.000-07:00

In any given society

Adherence to False Moral Values will

Only breed Misery and Suffering

Subjecting its Citizenry to Fear and

Mistrust of Each other leading to

A Life lived with Insecurities

Lacking in the ability to Self Govern.

Knowing God.........

2011-06-05T11:56:00.000-07:00

It is certain that One can not know

Who or What God Is

But It is Unworthy of being Human

If One were not to Experience

An Aspect of God in Ones life's Experiences.

Traditions.......

2011-06-05T11:41:00.000-07:00

In any given Tradition A slavish idea

Desires to Empower Itself

In the likeness of Its Ruler/s.

Such Is The need to confirm

Or seek as such.

To be free is To be Free

From All Notions of Identity

Even that of ones Own Self

And to dwell in A Sphere

That is with complete Abundance of Life

Is A Tradition that is Alive and

Free from its Own Trappings.

Justice is Humanity.

2011-05-29T07:51:00.000-07:00

Justice is not something

What we give to others

To be Just is Something

What We are On to Ourselves.

The Seducer and The seduced......

2011-05-26T08:38:00.000-07:00

In A Bigoted Sophistry

It is The Seducer that is Seduced.

Prejudice.........

2011-05-22T12:11:00.000-07:00

To be prejudiced is to Live

In A suspended state of Delusion

That is beyond Humanity and Divinity.

New Beginnings..........

2011-05-22T10:32:00.000-07:00

One can only start A New beginning

By Reading out of the Past.

Even the most beautiful creation of God

As past becomes Perishable.

Friends and Enemies.

2011-04-28T14:57:00.000-07:00

A Principled Enemy is better than

An Unscrupulous Friend.

Human Affairs...

2011-04-20T09:47:00.000-07:00

There is no Sanctity to Human Affairs.

Writer.

2011-04-09T06:55:00.000-07:00

A Good Writer is Some One

Who can See The End of the Narrative.

Shatranj Ke Kiladi...

2011-04-02T09:14:00.000-07:00

The Noble Game has

Its depths in which

Many a Fine and Gentle Soul,

Alas have Vanished.
