Sarita is a very good teacher in the school .

She was teaching history to students .....
Sarita: - Tell me where is the Taj Mahal .... 🕌
Students: Agra ...
Sarita : Wrong ... It's in Delhi...
The students all got into thinking .. and were confused
😮😲
The students told this thing to their parents.
The very next day, all the parents reached the school and started complaining to Sarita teacher that why are you teaching the children wrong ..
Sarita to all the parents: First of all you should deposit the fees of the last six months 💰
Untill the fees are deposited ;
Taj Mahal will remain in Delhi ……

Lines from "A Flight of Swans" by Rabindranath Tagore:

"O flying swans,
Tonight you have opened for me the door of Silence.
Behind her veil, in earth, sky, water,
I hear the restless beating of wings.
The grass is fluttering its wings in the sky of earth;
In the brooding darkness of the earth,
Who knows what myriad of budding seeds
Are spreading their wings?
Tonight,
I behold this mountain, this forest,
Spreading their wings,
Winging from island to island,
Soaring from unknown to unknown.
To the beating of the wings of stars
Throbs the cry of light in darkness.
I hear the countless voices of the human heart
Flying unseen,
From the dim past to the dim unblossomed future,
Hear, within my own breast,
The fluttering of the homeless bird, which,
In company with countless others,
Flies day and night,
Through light and darkness,
From shore to shore unknown.
The void of the universe is resounding with the
music of wings:
'Not here, not here, somewhere far beyond'."

(Translated by Aurobindo Bose, who stated that "most of the Balaka poems were written during the First World War, and a few before, at Ramgarh in the Himalayas, at Allahabad, Santiniketan, and on the banks of the Padma. The tiny volume of fortyfive poems is a landmark in Bangali literature, both because it introduces new verse forms, and because of the wide sweep of its thought. It is considered to be one of Tagore's masterpieces.")

While treating an old farmer, the Doctor struck a conversation with him.

Eventually the topic got around to Rahul and his role.

The old farmer said, 'Well sahib, Rahul is a *"Khambe ka Kachhua!''*

Not being familiar with the term, the Doctor asked him, what a "Khambe ka Kachhua'' was? 🤔

The old farmer said, 'When you're walking down a village road and if you come across a khamba (a fence post) with a turtle balanced on top, that's a "Khambe ka Kachhua''.

The old farmer saw the puzzled look on the doctor's face so he continued...

"You know he didn't get up there by himself,
he doesn't belong up there,
he doesn't know what to do while he's up there,
he's elevated beyond his ability to function &
you just wonder which idiots put him up there, to begin with!"

The doctor was awe struck!
😜😝🤣🤣
Never came across such a perfectly fitting, comprehensive description! Amazing!

If that is so, how is it that it is said that the disciple realizes his true state by the Guru’s grace?

It is like the elephant which wakes up on seeing a lion in its dream. Even as the elephant wakes up at the mere sight of the lion, so too is it certain that the disciple wakes up from the sleep of ignorance into the wakefulness of true knowledge through the Guru’s benevolent look of grace.

What is the significance of the saying that the nature of the real Guru is that of the Supreme Lord (Sarveshwara)?

In the case of the individual soul, which desires to attain the state of true knowledge or the state of Godhood (Ishwara) and with that object always practises devotion, the Lord who is the witness of that individual soul and identical with it, comes forth, when the individual’s devotion has reached a mature stage, in human form with the help of sat-chit-ananda. These three natural features, and form and name which he also graciously assumes, and in the guise of blessing the disciple, absorbs him in Himself. According to this doctrine the Guru can truly be called the Lord.

How then did some great persons attain knowledge without a Guru?

To a few mature persons the Lord shines as the light of knowledge and imparts awareness of the truth.

What is the end of devotion (bhakti) and the path of Siddhanta (i.e., Saiva Siddhanta)?

It is to learn the truth that all one’s actions performed with unselfish devotion, with the aid of the three purified instruments (body, speech and mind), in the capacity of the servant of the Lord, become the Lord’s actions, and to stand forth free from the sense of ‘I’ and ‘mine’. This is also the truth of what the Saiva Siddhantins call parabhakti (supreme devotion) or living in the service of God (irai-pani-nittral).

What is the end of the path of knowledge (jnana) or Vedanta?

It is to know the truth that the ‘I’ is not different from the Lord (Ishwara) and to be free from the feeling of being the doer (kartritva, ahamkara).

How can it be said that the end of both these paths is the same?

Whatever the means, the destruction of the sense ‘I’ and mine’ is the goal, and as these are interdependent, the destruction of either of them causes the destruction of the other; therefore in order to achieve that state of silence which is beyond thought and word, either the path of knowledge which removes the sense of ‘I’ or the path of devotion which removes the sense of ‘mine’, will suffice. So there is no doubt that the end of the paths of devotion and knowledge is one and the same.

Note: So long as the ‘I’exists it is necessary to accept the Lord also. If any one wishes to regain easily the supreme state of identity (sayujya) now lost to him, it is only proper that he should accept this conclusion.

Germany bid farewell to Angela Merkel with six minutes of warm applause.

The Germans elected her to lead them, and she led 80 million Germans for 18 years with competence, skill, dedication and sincerity.

During these eighteen years of her leadership of the authority in her country, no transgressions were recorded against her .. She did not assign any of her relatives a secretary... She did not claim that she was the maker of glories... She did not get millions out of her, nor did anyone cheer her life, she did not receive charters and pledges, she did not fight those who preceded her. The blood of her fellow countrymen did not flow... She did not utter nonsense... She did not appear in the alleys of Berlin to be photographed.

It is Angelica Merkel, the woman who was dubbed "The Lady of the World" and was described as the equivalent of six million men.

Yesterday, Merkel left the party leadership position and handed it over to those after her, and Germany and its German people are in the best condition.

The reaction of the Germans was unprecedented in the history of Germany The people went out to the balconies of the houses and clapped for her spontaneously for 6 continuous minutes of warm applause, without popular slogans, scum, impudence, colorists and climbers...
there was no praise, hypocrisy, representation and drumming... and no one shouted or screamed her name...

Germany stood as one body, bidding farewell to the leader of Germany, a chemical physicist who was not tempted by the fashion or the lights and did not buy real estate, cars, yachts and private planes, knowing that she is from former East Germany ..

She left her post after leaving Germany at the top... She left and her relatives did not repeat... Eighteen years and did not change her old clothes ..
God be upon this silent leader.
God be upon the greatness of Germany ..

At a press conference, a female journalist asked Merkel: "We notice that your suit is repeated, don’t you have another?"
She replied: "I am a government employee and not a model."

At another press conference, they asked her: "Do you have housemaids who clean the house, prepare meals and so on?"
Her answer was: "No, I do not have female workers and I do not need them. My husband and I do this work at home every day."

Then another journalist asked: "Who is washing the clothes, you or your husband?"
Their answer: "I arrange the clothes, and my husband is the one who operates the washing machine, and it is usually at night, because electricity is available and there is no pressure on it, and the most important thing is to take into the account the neighbors convenience, as the wall separating our apartment from the neighbors is thick."
She said: "To them, I expected you to ask me about the successes and failures in our work in the government."

Mrs. Merkel lives in a normal apartment like any other citizen... This apartment she lived in before being elected Chancellor of Germany and she did not leave it and does not own a villa, servants, swimming pools and gardens ..

This is Merkel, the Chancellor (Prime Minister) of Germany, the largest economy in Europe !!

The Eagle does not fight the snake on the ground. It picks it up into the sky and changes the battle ground, and then it releases the snake into the sky.

The snake has no stamina, no power and no balance in the air. It is useless, weak and vulnerable unlike on the ground where it is powerful wise and deadly.

Don't fight the enemy in his comfort zone, change the battle grounds like the Eagle.
