- Amazing article of Paulo Coelho on..................,...,,,,,
A man should look for what is, and not for what he thinks should be. Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and complex.......It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.
God always takes the simplest way. All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. As far as I'm concerned, I prefer silent vie to ostentatious virtue. True religion is real living; living with all one's soul with all one's goodness and rightousness.
Great spirit have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen.
Heroism on common, senseless violence, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism - how passionately I hate them! He who joyfully marches to music in rank ans file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice. Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.
- Big B on his 2nd Born........
Its the 2nd of August ! The day I had been declared clinically dead and the day that through the valiant efforts of the doctors at Breach Candy and most importantly, all the prayers of the people, not just within this country, but in other lands as well, I was re born in a sense.
I shall always remember this moment as the day when I realized how much and how deeply loved I was by the people of my country. Thank you all for your kind and generous wishes. Thank you for your prayers and the various penances that you undertook for my safety and good health.
I shall never be able to repay this debt that I now carry as a sweet burden upon my shoulders. In fact I shall be most happy if I am never able to repay this debt, for I would wish that it remain with me as a gentle and warm reminder of the sacrifice and affection that was shown to me.
My gratitude and my acknowledgment of the moment will always be insufficient. One shall never be able to measure the affection that had poured in on that day and indeed on many days thereafter.
There has not been a single region outside my country when I have not been accosted by people who had prayed for me during my time of trial. For this and more, I am most thankful.
The Almighty tests you, and puts you in situations which defy existence. But a way is always found, perhaps this could be a deliberate attempt, to come out of it. It can then be assumed that it was indeed a blessing from above that moved my little toe, as I began to come out my coma and then lived and have lived to be able to talk about it.
It is late ! And I have made several attempts at posting this blog. I only do not wish to lose it again - so my partings, as warm as ever for you and yours …
