[h=1]தவத்தில் வெல்லலாம்[/h]
கல்லை மலை மேலே ஏற்றுவது கடினம்,
கல் நழுவிக் கீழே விழுவது எளிது;
உலகில் எல்லா முயற்சிகளும் இங்ஙனமே,
உயர்வது கடினம், நழுவுதல் எளிது.

ஆத்ம தரிசனத்தை விரும்புகின்றவர்,
தவம், தியானம் செய்வது வழக்கம்;
ஆத்மத் தேடலில் பலவிதமான,
தடங்கல்கள் நாடி வருவதும் வழக்கம்!

தடைபட்ட யோகம் என்ன ஆகும்?
தடுக்கப்பட்ட இடத்திலேயே நிற்குமா?
முழுவதும் நழுவிக் கீழே விழுந்து விடுமா?
குழப்புகின்ற கேள்விதான் என்றுமே!

கண்ணன் என்ன சொன்னான் பார்போம்.
பண்ணின தவம் என்றுமே வீணாகாது;
விட்ட இடத்திலிருந்தே மீண்டும் ஒருவர்,
தொட்டுத் தவத்தைத் தொடரலாம் என்றான்.

தடைபட்ட தவத்தினர் மீண்டும், மீண்டும்
தவமுடையோர் இல்லத்திலேயே வந்து
தவறாமல் பிறப்பார்! தடைபட்ட தனது
தவத்தைத் தொடர்ந்து, முடிவில் வெல்லுவார்.

பாதிக் கிணறு தாண்டினால், எவரும்
நீரில் விழுந்து விடுவார் நிச்சயமாக;
பாதி யோகத்தில் தடைபட்டவரோ எனில்,
மீதியைத் தொடருவார், மீண்டும் பிறந்து!

அரைகுறை முயற்சியேதான் என்றாலும்,
அதுவும் ஒருவருடைய சாதனையே.
விடாமல் தொடர்ந்தால் வெற்றி நிச்சயம்,
விமலன் அருட்பார்வை கிடைப்பதாலே!

வாழ்க வளமுடன்,
விசாலாக்ஷி ரமணி

(All fiends are evil and

an evil friend is extra evil) :evil:

IF everyone is going to COLLECT money

who is going to give out the money

and where is that inexhaustible supply of funds???

I will rewrite it as ...
Life runs a fine school.
Learn as much as possible.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

dear VR !
in your own words nothing is better than having a rotten thing
guruvayurappan

The saying goes thus...

Something is better than nothing. :decision:

Nothing is better than nonsense. :frusty:

"Having NOTHING is better than

having a rotten thing!" is more apt. :thumb:

post759#
fortunate people get admitted in good school
guruvayurappan

There is ONLY one school ...that is run by experience.
Experience keeps a hard school but :whip:
some people will learn nowhere else.
Some others may refuse to learn even in that school. :hand:
They are the people who go through life
unruffled, unrefined and unafraid! :llama:

War

Everyone may begin a war at his pleasure but cannot so finish it.
A prince, therefore, before engaging in any enterprise,
should well measure his strength and govern himself accordingly.
Niccolo Machiavelli.

The whole art of war consists in getting at what is on the other side of the hill,
or, in other words, in learning what we do not know from what we do.
Duke of Wellington

We hear about 'fire-proof' fibers, 'shatter-proof' glass,

[vgane]

To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.

Nicolaus Copernicus
(1473-1543)

 

[vgane]

Those who know that the consensus of many centuries has sanctioned the conception that the earth remains at rest in the middle of the heavens as its center, would, I reflected, regard it as an insane pronouncement if I made the opposite assertion that the earth moves.

Nicolaus Copernicus
(1473-1543)

 

[vgane]

Finally we shall place the Sun himself at the center of the Universe.

Nicolaus Copernicus
(1473-1543)
(What a profound statement when the whole world was seeing Earth as center of the Universe)

 

[vgane]

To know the mighty works of God, to comprehend His wisdom and majesty and power; to appreciate, in degree, the wonderful workings of His laws, surely all this must be a pleasing and acceptable mode of worship to the Most High, to whom ignorance cannot be more grateful than knowledge.

Nicolaus Copernicus
(1473-1543)

 

[vgane]

Therefore, when I considered this carefully, the contempt which I had to fear because of the novelty and apparent absurdity of my view, nearly induced me to abandon utterly the work I had begun.

Nicolaus Copernicus
(1473-1543)

 

[vgane]

For I am not so enamored of my own opinions that I disregard what others may think of them. I am aware that a philosopher's ideas are not subject to the judgment of ordinary persons, because it is his endeavor to seek the truth in all things, to the extent permitted to human reason by God. Yet I hold that completely erroneous views should be shunned. Those who know that the consensus of many centuries has sanctioned the conception that the earth remains at rest in the middle of the heaven as its center would, I reflected, regard it as an insane pronouncement if I made the opposite assertion that the earth moves

Nicolaus Copernicus
(1473-1543)

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

To know that we know what we know, and to know that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.

Nicolaus Copernicus
(1473-1543)

But accepting that he /she does not know something is the greatest hurdle in gathering knowledge. People will rather sit with a complacent smile and pretend to understand everything( and remain ignorant for life) than ask for clarification.

 

[Visalakshi Ramani]

Those who know that the consensus of many centuries has sanctioned the conception that the earth remains at rest in the middle of the heavens as its center, would, I reflected, regard it as an insane pronouncement if I made the opposite assertion that the earth moves.

Nicolaus Copernicus
(1473-1543)

All new theories receive an unwelcome-welcome first! :bored:

People resist changes even in concepts and theories. :hand:
