GOD

The debate on the existence of God  has been there for ages.

“You see many stars in the sky at night, but not when the sun rises.

Can you therefore say that there are no stars in the heavens during the day?

O man, because you cannot find god in the days of your ignorance,

 say not there is no God.”

PRIDE

Wine maddens a man for a moment;

But pride swallows him up completely.

CHARACTER

While character reveals the composite nature of the man,

His other constituents disclose his other aspects.

“Manners reveal the food;

Speech reveals education

And eyes reveal the kindness.”

LOVE

“If you love somebody, set it free.

It it comes back, it is yours,

It does not, it never was.”

SELF-MASTERY

He who has attained mastery over himself

is indeed a great conquerer

than who has vanquished a thousand enemies,

a thousand times more powerful than he,

yet remains a slave to his sensory self.

VALUE OF GOOD WORDS

What is the value of good words?

George Herbert says:

 “Good words quench more thirst than a bucket of water.”

DESPAIR

He,

who has never hoped

can never despair.

ANGER

Anger is sometimes sinful and sometimes not.

“Anger is not sinful, because some degree of it

 and or some occasion is inevitable.

But it becomes sinful when it contradicts the rule of scriptures,

is conceived upon slight and inadequate provocation, and

when it continues for long.”

LEARNING

The man of learning lives even after his death.

The ignorant man is dead, while still alive.
