________________ Efflorescence In order to emerge above the surface of the water, the lotus must abandon the company of the mire beneath. Even so, a dedicated savant longing for emancipation of his being, must needs come out of the quagmire of infatuating attachment. How can the two things ever go to-gether: To remain bogged down in the vale of infatuation and seek at the same time for the blossoming of your being? Probe To-day's defeat may be turned into a landmark of tomorrow's victory, if the cause of defeat is seriously probed into! Learning Learning bedecked with modesty is alone true learning. What is the use of that learning that does not engender humility? And nothing would be lost, if learning divorced from humility were to be dubbed as sheer obscurantism.
