In response to "Mount Everest"

Great post. You covered it all. Everyone’s reasons for attempting the climb are different.

In response to "Mount Everest"

Like you said, the appeal of taking risks isn't for every individual, me included.

In response to "The inspiration"

I think we do forget to be in the moment. We see the big picture as overwhelming forgetting that all the little pieces are what makes is special in the moment. I know I'm guilty of that a lot.

In response to "My Answer"

Yes, loving our world is complicated and messy, but I don't think we have much choice except love it, and if not, maybe we can just accept it as is.

In response to "The Prompt"

Absolutely! I agree with you. After a certain time in our lives, circumstances permitting, we can create ourselves. The problem, if there's a problem, lies with our paying far too much attention to what others may say. As you pointed out, mostly, external creation leads to self-creation.

In response to "The wasteland"

Awesome response. The poem Wasteland poem was also written shortly after the ending of World War I and there were many areas that looked like wasteland so it's an effective reminder of what man is capable of doing. Also in earlier times when battles were more dependent on good weather typically April the troops would stir after their winter encampments and begin fighting again. Another sad reminder of man's creating wasteland and burials of the dead.

In response to "Failure is the best teacher"

Nice entry and I agree. Failure is a teacher but not always, and it is not for everyone.

In response to "THE STORY OF “PIPAL TREE” ON SUKHNA LAKE"

In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.

In response to "Tramp"

Well done!

Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.

He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.

Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!

Self

The self-identification of “ I” with this body, produces the bondage of existence. Like a mother who, utterly unmindful of the child that rests on her lap, searches for her child everywhere, so all people, without cognizing Atma within, suffer the bondage of existence.
Like water which, through agitation in it, generates waves and others, so also through the excess of thoughts, the delusions of Consciousness greatly increases ; but should the stains of thoughts be removed and the expanded Consciousness be concentrated firmly upon Self, you will be able to rule your Kingdom without any fluctuation, even in the tossing waves of (Samsaric) ocean and being immovable in your Atma, to be eternal and blissful.
Then Atma, which, remains after all, will through its Sankalpic (or voluntary; potencies create diverse sports like children in this world.”
