food for thought

was randomly reading swami vivekanand's work...
today i came across one of his speeches where he talks abt means to reach a goal. Attachment to the goals that we set, detachment from it. He says we should attach ourselves to the goal with the same strength with which can detach ourselves from it. also "give and there it ends" one should not worry abt what we get in return.
title -- "work and its secret"
it was really an intresting read abt somethings that we forget along the way and we need reminders for it.

Inspiration

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, there maybe jealousy;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, t is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
--Mother Theresa

quote

The Mysterious
Albert Einstein

The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

Don't Quit

Don't Quit
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all up hill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, you must - but don't you quit


Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt -
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar;
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -
It's when things seem worst that you mustn't quit.

Science and faith... Interesting point of view

http://www.hindu.com/op/2005/03/22/stories/2005032200211700.htm

i was reading this interesting article on the relation of science n faith that was discussed in this article... maybe science and religion need not be orthogonal to each other.

it says that the conflict arises because we believe that science can be proven wrong where as most of believe that the scriptures are always rite. agreed that is why the "faith" is used to describe religious attachment. but often we forget that most (if not all) the scriptures that r prevalent in this world have passed through human intervention. a fact that all of us ignore blatantly. then by saying this i do not need to mean that all of them have to be rehashed or rewritten or thrown away. as far the scientifc theories that exist are as rite as a "human being" can be... and that should keep us firmly planted on the ground and prevent us from claming it to be all "true". there is balance that is needed between what we know, what we do not know, what we understand, and what we do not understand.

knowing and understanding maybe imples true.
but not knowing and/or not understanding does not imply not true.
