in Search of the Absolute truth

in Search of the Absolute truth

 "I am ignorant of absolute truth. But I am humble before my ignorance and therein lies my honor and reward." ~ Kahlil Gibran.

Whom does the people respect, the one whose eyes are centered on earth, occasionally gazing to the horizon or the one whose head his held high with the pride of his know-how. "Keep your head held high" is taught to us to proclaim our confidence, but wouldn't a man's head bow to the earth, heavy with humbleness, as he gains wisdom in search of the absolute truth.

the Gang of Fools

the Gang of Fools

 "Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish" ~ Steve Jobs

Never underestimate a FOOL. When united they would outnumber the wise. Wise people may laugh at fools, but the laughter the wise people give to the so called fools goes unnoticed to the wiser eyes. Advertisers publish their Wise adds thinking the mass they address are fools, the Wise media precipitates the "truth" out of stories to the readers thinking the mass they address are fools and the Wise politicians reiterates their promises thinking the mass they address are fools. We all are born wise and made fools, only the "unlucky" ones get labeled WISE again.

Parents used to call me lovingly "you fool", making the teenage me angry. But now that I have realized that "you are not alone" and being one is not a big crime, I don't get angry but rather longs to hear my parents comment "you fool" again.

Happy to be a Fool  in the Gang of Fools.

reading Leading to Humility

"The more you know, the more you know that you don't know" ~ Stephen R Covey

Each creative word your read strikes something in your mind. Most often for the beginners, it is the sentence above that would be struck first. Something that forces you to read that sentence again and again, over and over until it is clear to you what the revelation is. The more you realize that there are a lot of things you are unaware of, the more it brings in a level of humility to you. But this realization of unawareness, ironically, brings to you a strange sense of pride. The pride, when among others, says to you that there more things that you don't know than the people around you. Its funny sometimes. This strange pride helps you keep the knowledge power you have gained in the close bounds of selective discussion with selective people. And it is this same pride that gives you the urge to enjoy the book in hand and then move on to other books. Will a man see his joy of reading end before his lifetime, I don't think so.
Is this feeling the same for the wise people who has traveled the marvelous path of reading and have had the company of stupendous books, I don't know. Will have to wait and see whether I am worth to be a wise man.

by the Time a man realises...

"By the time a man realises that his father was right, he already has

a son who thinks that he is wrong" ~Charles Wadsworth.

Isn't this an inevitable internal rebellion resulting from the child's search for his own identity and the father's efforts to protect him from worldly harms. Either of them unaware of the others earnest efforts

HIStory repeats

"The son goes astray in search of the hidden, about which his father had warned of, for going behind the hidden has always given man the adrenaline rush he always wanted. He goes around the world and returns to his father in submission. The flown days , has turned his son a MAN, father realizes, yet has the strangest feeling that - "isn't it me who is looking back at me. The father, as if on a hunch, looks back and sees his own father looking back at him, with the strange expression very much similar to his. He searches for his son to reveal the truth and finds him smiling back at the new era of rebels awoken from his better half's womb. Life given from his own veins, still so different in thoughts, still so different in behavior. The rebels in making. GOD rules and History repeats, that settles the thoughts"
