Subhasitas act as teacher in formulating the sense of morality and character, which sums up the total of a person’s virtues including dispositions, behaviours, habits, likes, dislikes, capacities, traits, ideals, ideas, values, feelings, and intuitions.

Subhasitas
काममयाएवायंपुरुषइति
सायथाकामोभवतितत्क्रतुरभवति
यात्क्रतुरभवतिततकर्मकुरुते
यतकर्मकुरुतेतदअभिसमपद्यते


You are what your deep, driving desire is
As your desire is, so is your will
As your will is, so is your deed
As your deed is, so is your destiny


-B R I H A D A R A N Y A K A UPANISHAD

So, yours is more like Sudhooshitas.


It adds some sense of humor to otherwise boring monotonous thinking!LOL
 
நேர்மையும், வாய்மையும்.







நேர்மை என்பது நம் மனம், மொழி,
செயல்களை ஒருமைப்படுத்துவதே.
நேரில் ஒன்றும், மறைவில் ஒன்றும்,
செய்யாதிருப்பதே நேர்மை ஆகும்.

பேச வேண்டும், நாம் எண்ணியதையே;
பேச்சும், எண்ணமும் வேறுபடக் கூடாது!
பேசியதையே நாம் செய்ய வேண்டும்;
பேச்சும், செயலும் மாறுபடக் கூடாது!

ஒன்றை நினைத்து, மற்றதைப் பேசினால்;
அழிந்து போகும் நம் வாக்கின் நேர்மை!
ஒன்றைப் பேசி, மற்றதைச் செய்தால்;
அழிந்து போகும் நம் உடலின் நேர்மை!

தன் நெஞ்சு அறிந்து பொய் சொன்னால்,
தன் நெஞ்சே தன்னைச் சுடும் என்றாலும்;
பொய்மையும் உயிர்களுக்கு நன்மை செய்தால்,
வாய்மையே ஆகும், இது வள்ளுவன் வாக்கு!

வாய்மை என்பது எந்த உயிர்களுக்கும்,
தீமை பயக்காததைச் சொல்வதே ஆம்.
வாய்மையை விடவும் சிறந்தது ஒன்று
வலை விரித்துத் தேடினாலும் கிட்டாது.

மனம், மொழி, செயல்கள் மாறுபடும்போது,
மனோ வியாதிகள் உற்பத்தி ஆகின்றன.
ஒருமைப்பாட்டையும், வாய்மையையும்
ஒருங்கிணைத்து நாம் வாழ்ந்திடுவோம்.

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி.
 
Our Thoughts lead to our words
Our Words lead to our actions.

is not a humorous comment to be laughed at! :nono:
 
Why do we day dream?




A day dream is a visual fantasy experienced by us, while we are wide awake. Usually it is based on pleasant and happy thoughts, hopes and ambitions, plans for the future or memories of the past. A series of thoughts transport us from the present to a day dream. We sit staring into a distance with blank eyes while the mind is absorbed in the day dream.

Surveys have proved that even ordinary men and women (who are down to earth and practical) spend a large part of their waking hours in some sort of a fantasy, revere or day dream. They spend 11% or more of their waking hours in day dreaming.

Even persons who are engaged in important tasks, which demand all their attention, are found to indulge in day dreams. These are the moments they stop paying attention to what they do and enter an inner theatre of imagination, for the fulfillment of a wish. The work may go on mechanically due to constant practice but the mind is else where.

Sustained fantasies are clearer than dream since we are wide awake. They are longer, more coherent, more colourful and more accurate. All fantasies seem to have a healing and creative power. It may be a way of coping with our deep seated fears and anxieties.

Day dreaming might be considered by some skeptics as a waste of time or as a past time of the lazy people. But creative people such as novelists, film makers and composers get brilliant ideas when they day dream.

Research scientists, mathematicians, and physicists develop new concepts and find new solutions to old problems when they day dream. When a person day dreams, his normal inhibitions are by-passed.

For hard core criminals, this provides a mental theater to plan and rehearse a crime, before they actually commit it. The evidences lay in the horror filled biographies of the infamous serial killers. They claim to have had frequently recurring violent fantasies-before actually turning to murder.

Day dreaming is a rare boon indeed! We should know how to make the best of that boon for creation and not for destruction.

# 120. Believe it or not

Human lips have a reddish color because of the great concentration of tiny capillaries just below the skin.

The blood in these capillaries is normally highly oxygenated and therefore appear quite red.

This is why the lips appear pale when a person is anemic or has lost a great deal of blood.

It also explains why the lips turn blue in very cold weather.

Cold causes the capillaries to constrict, and the blood loses oxygen and changes to a darker color.

# 121. Believe it or not

The colder the room we sleep in, more the chances of a bad dream.

It isn’t entirely clear to scientists why this is the case.

Darkness, coldness and fear are somehow inter-related.

So if we are opposed to having nightmares

we have to keep ourselves a little warmer at nights.
 
Recap # 5.
Ruby.




A ruby is a pink to blood-red colored gemstone. It is a variety of mineral corundum or aluminum oxide.
Presence of the element Chromium causes the red color.

Its name comes from ‘ruber’- the Latin word for red. Other varieties of gem-quality corundum are generally called as sapphires.

The ruby is considered one of the four most precious stones along with sapphires, emeralds and diamonds.

Prices of rubies are primarily determined by color. The brightest and most valuable “red” called pigeon blood-red, commands a huge premium over other rubies of similar quality.

After color follows clarity: similar to diamonds, a clear stone will command a premium, but a ruby without any needle-like rutile inclusions may indicate that the stone has been treated.

The Color, the Clarity, the Cut and the Carat weight determine the price of a gem stone.
 
With the post # 130 the wonderful features of human body will get completed.
Which of these can be taken up next...:ear:
The gem stones or the edible flowers??? :decision:
 
# 122. Believe it or not

Tears and mucus contain an enzyme (lysozyme) that breaks down the cell wall of many bacteria.

This is to our advantage since the mucus that lines our nose and throat,

as well as the tears that wet our eyes are helping to prevent bacteria

from infecting those areas and making us sick.
 
Recap # 6.
Natural Pearl.





A pearl is a hard object produced within the soft tissue called the mantle, of a living shelled mollusk.
It is made up of Calcium Carbonate just like the shell of a mollusk. A pearl is deposited in concentric layers.

The ideal pearl is perfectly round and smooth, but baroque pearls occur in many other shapes. The finest quality natural pearls have been highly valued for many centuries.

The word pearl stands for something very rare, fine, admirable, and valuable. The most valuable pearls occur spontaneously in the wild, but they are extremely rare. These wild pearls are referred to as natural pearls.

Pearls have been harvested primarily for use in but in jewels. In the past they were also stitched onto lavish clothing.

Pearls have also been crushed and used in cosmetics, medicines, and in paint formulations.

Human body CAN move with the same wave like motion of s snake!

I am waiting for your suggestion for the next topic. (ref # 1637)

If you are going to remain as silent as ever,

I may close this thread and go on with "Did you know that...?"

which will give me more freedom and flexibility.
