Knowledge is often a mask we wear to hide our ignorance.
Let us open wide the windows of wisdom.

An enlightened man is never confused by what he can't understand,but a fool is sure to be.

To know and not act on what you know is equal to not knowing.

Failure is a fertilizer for success.
Learn from failure.Failure is life is one who lives and fails to learn.

Learn to feel Silence and you will hear the divine answer.Two people cannot hate each other if there is silence.

Attitude of ego-lessness creates altitude of joy.(one of my favourite lines and i have kept it as my signature before)

Love recognises opportunities and does not wait for its introduction



The above quotes are given as a nutshell at the end of each and every chapter.If you are interested i can post some contents and the messages explained with some examples &incidents.

Dear chocolate,
Oh you have even attended lectures by him!!!!! greatclap.A two hour lecture gone like a 10 minute one is rare.Computer Typing .Actually i haven't attended any lectures by him.But i would surely know that it will be an interesting one .Frankly saying,i have seen many complaining of the bore seminars:hide:.So the author is proving even more.A person who ropes others by his interesting speech is very hard to find these days.
About the other book,i have no idea about its sale in US.May be i can find out from some one.I will try.
Any way,thanks you so so much for your prompt feedback.It is because of you like peoples' replies which keeps the thread going.Thanks again very much.:thankyou2::thankyou2:

Regards and love

Dear sindhuja,
Welcome back.As per your request,I am presenting the contents on the quotes.

“Let us open wide the windows of wisdom”.(This message was emphasized based on an example.)

A farmer once came to a sufi saint with a problem.he said,”My wife is rearing a lot of cattle and fowl”.The whole house is stinking with their odour.I am unable to even breathe.You must show me a way to escape from this nuisance.”

The saint said”Why don’t you open the windows ?The fresh air would drive out the odour!” and the farmer exclaimed “oh,no! Then my pigeons would fly out of the house!”
Very often,we behave like the farmer when it comes to the tensions that we confront.In order to protect something insignificant like the pigeons ,we fail to open the window of wisdom.The result….tension,suffocation.So,let us open wide,the windows of wisdom.


An enlightened man is never confused by what he can’t understand, but a fool is sure to be.(This quote is again said based on an example)

Read this story about Mullah nasruddin.Very interesting one…

Mullah returns home from work and his wife finds a long,black hair on his coat.Hell breaks loose!

“You are having an affair with a young girl!”she screams at mullah.Patiently he tries to explain,’look,I walked through a crowded market place.Some how this hair has clung to my coat….believe me!’

She refuses to believe him and continues to rave and rant.The next day when he returns from work,she notices a grey hair on his coat.

“Alas ! yesterday it was a young girl,and today it is an old woman! You womanizer!! Now my whole life is ruined!”she screams, rolling on the ground in tears.

The day after that,while returning home,Mullah remembered his wife’s antics and carefully dusts his coat before entering the house.She hurriedly checks his clothes but finds no hair.Mullah is about to heave a sigh of relief….but no,it is not to be.!His wife shouts in anger,’What a scoundrel you are!Today you had an affair with a bald woman?’ and begins to wail more fiercely than on the previous days!

This misery is the result of our mind not seeing the beauty in front of us but instead,wandering in imagination and seeing things that are not in front of us.

Even in listening many of us fail to grasp important points or listen erroneously. The result is nothing but unnecessary tension.

Love recognizes opportunities and does not wait for its introduction.

An excellent example Reflect on this…

Have you observed birds building nests?They build in such a way that when it rains,not a drop of water falls in the nest.how did the mother bird learn the art of such an engineering feat?It is said that when the mother bird is pregnant,intuitively this knowledge arises.Love for the offspring brings out this talent wisdom to build the nest.

Let your Love guide you and not fear.Love will show you the way…….

Love is the supreme power…

Hope i have fulfilled your request.......Looking forward for your reply......
