#51. Food for thought!
The easiest and the juiciest equation defining GOD is equating God to something each one of us have felt at some point or the other in our lives!
GOD = LOVE
The concept is true with all religions, all regions, all languages, all cultures, all customs and all countries.
But defining LOVE is more difficult-now that it has been equated to GOD!
It is by far easier to say what is NOT love.
Desire is not love.
Lust is not love.
Kaamam is not love.
Raagam is not love.
Pretending for a purpose is not love.
Loving for the sake of love is love.
Those who are lucky enough to feel this kind of love can also feel GOD
and need never doubt His existence and Presence!!!
God is love = Anbe Sivam!
#52. Identifying with oneself?
One characteristic of human beings has always interested and intrigued me!
A short person always comments on the heights of the others.
A dark skinned person invariably comments on the skin color.
So also one with unsightly teeth will comment first on the teeth of the others.
The list can go on…!
The point I wanted to state is this:-
A confused man brands others as confused;
a rogue brands others as rogues and
a bully brands other bullies!
Interesting trait? Irritating trait?
#53. Think about it!
My father used to reflect on human behaviors in an analytical way.
The G.M or M.D. of an organization-who terrorizes his subordinates
will be as sweet as a lamb at home. He will let his wife rule him!
The peon who rides on rough waves during the working hours will
turn into a terrorist at home- taking out his vengeance on his wife.
So everybody wants rule others and also be ruled by others.
Isn’t this a funny trait is us?
#54. Rights and wrongs!
Have you ever pondered how the topic of
a person’s “rights!” always shoots up
when the person’s doings go wrong?
If the doing is “right”, there will be no need
to claim for one’s “rights”!
It will then fall under the category of one’s ‘duty’!
#55. The ideal prayer:-
Oh God! Give me the strength
to change what can be changed,
to endure what cannot be changed, and
the wisdom to know the difference between these two.
