"The Curiosity of Man
Innumerable flowers bloom, scatter their fragrance and fade away. Has anybody written or read the life history of any of them? Has any flower claimed that the world has received inspiration from it? If none, why should man alone have this desire ? We become highly desirous of hearing songs of our praise after doing a little good work. We wish that our names be written in letters of gold in the books of history. Man thinks that the coming generations will receive inspiration from his life and achievements. But he forgets that there are many more as talented as himself and who have done even more work.
Our Aim
When we turn towards our soul, we rise higher. But when we think of the body and of nothing else, we fall below and stumble. This is enough for you to understand and decide whether you want to rise or fall.
The Secret of Life
You have seen bubbles of water foating and frolicking upon the surface of water. They rise, emerge to the surface float for some time and then suddenly burst and disappear ii the water. Their life is so short and meaningless ! Is no the life of man equally short-lived and meaningless? Th secret of human life is contained in the life of these bubbles
Love of Existence
Just imagine a hillock in the mid-stream of a river. T waves of the river have been constantiy striking against it fi
