Able may my body be, sweetest be my tongue! With ears much may I hear! The sheath of Brahman art thou, veiled by intelligence. What I have learned do Thou keep. Moreover, may my body be able! May my tongue be sweetest, uttering only what is most agreeable! With ears much may I hear! May my kārya-kāraṇa-sanghāta the aggregate of the causes and the effects, *i.e.*, the gross physical body and the subtle senses making up my whole bodily organism—be competent for Ātma-jñāna, competent to acquire a knowledge of the Self. And it is for the same end that I pray for Medha, intellectual retentiveness. Of Brahman, of the Paramatman or Highest Self, Thou art the sheath, as of a sword, being the seat of His manifestation. I speak of Thee as the sheath of Brahman because those who have cast aside all worldly desires perceive the Suprem e in Thee, and because, as both the designation and the symbol of Brahman, Thou art alone the means of perceiving Him.—(S.) Thou art indeed the Pratīka, the symbol of Brahman: in Thee Brahman is perceived. By worldly intelligence Thou art concealed: that is to say, the truth concerning Thee is unknown to men of common intelligence. Concealed as Thou art by their worldly intelligence, they whose thoughts are engrossed in the external objects do not contemplate Thee, the Divine Being, who givest immortality.—(S.) Do Thou guard what I have heard, do thou guard my wisdom, the knowledge of the Self and the like which I have acquired by hearing the scriptural texts; that is to say, do Thou enable me to acquire wisdom and retain it. Do Thou guard my wisdom from the attacks of attachment, aversion and other such evils: do Thou so watch that when I am engaged in the study of scriptures and in other means of acquiring knowledge, I may not meet with any obstacles to wisdom, such as worldly attachment and the like.—(S.) These mantras are to be repeated by him who wishes to improve the retentive power of memory. As I seek wisdom, may my body be healthy and thus efficient for a practice of contemplation! May my tongue be endued with extreme sweetness; may it be an apt organ wherewith to recite the scriptural texts! May I hear many a scriptural text conducive to the growth of wisdom: may I not be afflicted with the evil of deafness. O Praṇava, Thou art the place where I may meditate upon the Supreme Being, the Cause of the universe. Just as a leather-sheath is the place for preserving a sword, so is Praṇava the place for a safe meditation of Brahman. Accordingly, concerning the syllable ‘Om,’ the Kaṭha-Upaniṣad says: “This is the best means, this the highest means.” Thus Praṇava is associated with the retentive power of intellect. Do Thou, O Supreme Lord, designated as Thou art by that grand Praṇava, protect my learning—all the secret truths of the Veda that I have learned with my ears— by way of removing the obstacles of forgetfulness and the like.

G The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. – Socrates KR why so long as in USA school, because it was in the web site? न तं विदाथ य इमा जजानान्यद्युष्माकमन्तरं बभूव । नीहारेण प्रावृता जल्प्या चासुतृप उक्थशासश्चरन्ति ॥RV 10 82 7 na taṃ vidātha ya imā jajānānyad yuṣmākam antaram babhūva | nīhāreṇa prāvṛtā jalpyā cāsutṛpa ukthaśāsaś caranti || “You know not him who has genitive rated these (beings); (his life) is another, different from yours;wrapped in fog, and foolish speech (do they) wander (who are) gluttonous and engaged in devotion.” Commentary by Sāyaṇa: Ṛgveda-bhāṣya Sāyaṇa:"The assertion that we know Viśvakarman in the same way as men say, 'I am devadatta, I am yajñadatta', isfalse, for the essence (tattva) of Viśvakarman Parameśvara is not endowed with conscious individual existence,but he is a different entity from you who are sentient beings, who have individual consciousness, and so forth".Wrapped in foolish speech: jalpyā: i.e., saying I am god, I am man etc.; Ukthaśāsaḥ = singing hymns with aview to gaining felicity in a future state: you are merely anxious for enjoyment in this world and in the next,therefore you know nothing of Viśvakarman; or, you who are engaged in enjoyment of this world or the next,being subject to false knowledge or ignorance, have no knowledge of the Truth II Katradhu kaiyalavu kalladhathu ulagalavu what you know is only a fistful and the truth is world wide. III ONE WHO KNOW HE KNOWS ONE WHO KNOWS HE KNOWS NOT AND ONE WHO DOES NOT KNOW HE KNOWS NOT IV many more here to express here itself. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx G You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist. – Friedrich Nietzsche KR The quote itself is challengeable; Nirtche is a philosopher like Charawaka and Buddha; he denied the existence; The death of God and the meaninglessness of existence is a concept proposed by Nietzsche as part of his philosophy on the nature of life. According to Nietzsche, the death of God marked the end of a traditional source of meaning and purpose within society. And here also he said , there are umpteen ways and there is nothing called as the right way the only way. So there his quote ends as useless; had he said the best way is yet to be perfected that would have been different but he concluded that there is no right way at all. G It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. – Aristotle KR That is the open mind unlike the three musketeers do; they do not place evidential controversial factors to sustain the truth; but simply deny or say my farther said Aya said etc. Legally in the English law as well as from Tarka sastra , accepting it without admitting it and vice versa phrases are there. Aristotle dis not call any one by names as some do here. Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. – Lao Tzu KR Loa tzu thoughts are understandable. How can a difficult thing will be easier? First start as without the first step one cannot reach the `1000th step. No one if thinks it will be so difficult, will undertake a job at all; but when a job, only when started to execute, will show its difficulties in them; so in the first step one is not aware of. Similarly, the great job in the beginning. We learn the toughness only as and when we proceed. Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one. – Marcus Aurelius KR And was he the one? Happiness and freedom begin with one principle. Some things are within your control and some are not. – Epictetus KR Then how do you start and stop? So in everything, do to others as you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. – Jesus Christ KR As showing your other cheek? Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life. – Sandra Carey KR Knowledge is mistaken by Sandra to be Know-how that is the confusion since she did not read the BG While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us. – Benjamin Franklin KR HOW? You said something are uncontrollable. The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honourable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well. – Ralph Waldo Emerson KR Only where the mind is in bliss service to humanity will arise. The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why. – Mark Twain KR Sure? Twain said intending after the success on one issue but can we know before finishing the life the HISTORY? A man is but a product of his thoughts. What he thinks he becomes. – Mahatma Gandhi KR All the above including Gandhi is not our subashitani and Upanishad thoughts? The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall. – Vince Lombardi KR AND HOW SOON IS UPANISHAD To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often. – Winston Churchill Because he has to win the war so as a politician he had to covet. Change might be for the worse also. Perfection cannot be timed out. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart. – Helen Keller KR As blind she said Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God. – Leo Buscaglia KR What you do with the gift alone determine the good and the bad karma. If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way. – Napoleon Hill KR And should not others say that was great? Life goes by very fast. And the worst thing in life that you can have is a job that you hate, and have no energy and creativity in. – Robert Greene KR Hence the time is an arrow. I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.’ – Muhammad Ali KR HENCE THEY ARE CALLED TOUGH PEOPLE AS THEY NEVER QUIT. Nobody can make you feel inferior without your permission. – Eleanor Roosevelt KR I understood long ago but you did not It’s wise to learn from experience, but it is wiser to learn from the experience of others. – Rick Warren KR Foer which you should know personally their air-fly of the experiences in the clos range and not mere hearsays.

Wisdom is organized life. – Immanuel Kant KR and knowledge and wisdom confused for the 2nd time?

Selected quora answers generally interesting including jokes are included. Still they need not be 100% correct answers. I am only a compiler. Compiled and posted by R. Gopala Krishnan, 80, on 08-03-2024. Q1 Why do airplanes prefer to fly over the ocean? A1 Amit Singh,Mar 2 Have you ever wondered why your flight path curved over the ocean, even though it seemed out of the way? It's all about efficiency and safety, friends! Let's dive into this fascinating aspect of air travel. Aircraft often follow what's known as the "Great Circle" route. This might look curved on a flat map, but it's actually the shortest distance between two points on a globe. When you're traveling thousands of miles, following a Great Circle route saves time and fuel, even if it seems to curve oddly over the ocean. Plus, there's the added benefit of smoother rides. Over the ocean, air tends to be less turbulent compared to over land, thanks to the uniform temperature of the sea surface. This means less bouncing around for you and your in-flight drink! So, the next time you're on a plane, look out of the window and appreciate the ocean beneath - it's not just a pretty view, it's part of smart and efficient aviation. Q2 What are some of the most profound jokes ever? A2 David Phelps, Jewish Mayflower Descendant11y A man dies and goes to hell. Once there, he finds that there is a different hell for each country, so he tries to seek out the least painful one. At the door to German Hell, he is told: "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the German devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day." He does not like the sound of that, so he checks out American Hell, Russian Hell and many more. They are all similarly gruesome. However, at Nigerian Hell a long line of people is waiting to get in. Amazed, he asks, "What do they do here?" He is told: "First they put you in an electric chair for an hour. Then they lay you on a bed of nails for another hour. Then the Nigerian devil comes in and whips you for the rest of the day." "But that's the same as the others," says the man. "Why are so many people waiting to get in?" "Because of the power cuts, the electric chair does not work. The nails were paid for but never supplied, so the bed is comfortable. And the Nigerian devil used to be a civil servant, so he comes in, signs his time sheet and goes back home for private business." Tolu Ogunlesi Q3 What do Doctors know and I don't know but I should know? A3 Tiny Nair, Cardiologist at PRS Hospital, Trivandrum4y Declassified Secrets – for your eyes only 1.A sudden catastrophe, like an acute heart attack, is a life changing event for most people. The treatment like an angioplasty or bypass surgery is, no doubt, life-saving; people get impressed by them; even flaunt the news around. Yes, these procedures save life. But they do nothing; (I repeat: nothing) to prevent progression of the disease that produced the block in the first place. The patient needs to continue medicines (statins, aspirin and many more) life long, at full dose, to prevent a recurrence. 2.The reasons why the attack occurred in the first place, are a bunch of risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, high cholesterol levels and smoking. Majority of people who ask us ‘why did I get this attack? I have no such disease’ actually have mild levels of multiple risk factors – Fasting blood sugar between 110 to 126. (Impaired fasting glucose - IFG) Mild hypertension – BP between 120/80 to 140/90 Mildly elevated LDL Cholesterol 100 to 130mg% Smoking just 2 cigarettes per day. Most people don’t even consider the above as risk factors. Combination of two or more of these ‘mild’ risk factors increase the chance of a heart attack several folds. - 3.Galelio Galilei lived up to age 77 years age; Isaac newton 84 years; Michelangelo 88 Years All these people lived and died, much before introduction of sanitation, vaccinations, antibiotics, intensive care units, angioplasty or bypass surgery. Modern medicine has not prolonged our life, just prevented early death. 4.Don’t be scared of medicines. Don’t haggle with your doctor every time asking him to somehow reduce the medicines. Majority of them are, by far, quite safe for most of us. A rare reaction makes headlines, but those millions who improve don’t. The aim is to remain healthy and continue with our present lifestyle; whether you are taking one tablet, or ten, doesn’t matter. If you thought, doctors are supposed to know all these; read the last one. ‘Doctor patients’ are the ones, who are most difficult to treat; because they ask us exactly these same questions :) After all, when sickness strikes, we become mentally fragile; even the staunch, ‘die-hard’ non-believer start praying. Q4 What are the wisest quotes you've ever heard or read? A4 Hafiz Suboor, Feb 22 The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. – Socrates You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist. – Friedrich Nietzsche It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it. – Aristotle Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small.

A5 Joe Quincy,B.A. in Ancient Artifacts, University of Hawaii Maui College (Graduated 2008)22h My old neighbor had a parrot named Keith. He’d invite me over for beers and show off all the stuff Keith could bite through. Once I saw him snap a carpenter’s pencil like a twig. One day when I got home from work, I saw my neighbor getting out of his car with his hand bandaged up. He said he had a few too many beers and tried to get Keith to bite through rebar. Keith got angry and took his left pinky finger off. A month later I came home to see the same thing. I thought surely there’s no way this happened again. Lo and behold, he pissed Keith off and lost his left middle finger. I asked if it was safe to keep Keith anymore. He said he wasn’t taking anymore chances and had set Keith free after the second finger. Somewhere in southern Illinois there’s a large human-hating parrot on the loose with an incredible bite force -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iyer123" group.
