The Roots

None ever got benefited by watering a flower, fruit or a leaf; water the roots if you wish to reap.

Options in Life

When in water you have two choices - to swim or to drown. Always opt for the first because the second is not an option to being with.

Why is the Sky so High?

Because crows don't give milk and cows don't fly :-)

Death - The Begining

To cherish life to the fullest one has to die, at least once. One certainty of life is death, I cannot think of another. With every breath I take I move one step closer to my end. This is no new phenomenon, this movement began with the first gasp of air I took as a newborn. I wonder what will happen of me with death - will that be the end or will it mark another beginning? What I claim to be me was never me, the body is only a transient form of all the food, water & air assimilated through the process of eating, drinking & breathing. In the beginning there was nothing, even the single cell that I took form from was created from the non-living. So am I to believe that I am just a transformed form of the food I have eaten in my life? If my body is the creation of the non-living food then that (the body) cannot be me. What am I - am I just a projection created by some chemical reactions taking place in the brain, so with the cessation of these reactions in the brain with death will I too cease to exist? That leads to another interesting question - when was I born? I do not remember ever being a zygote, I do not remember anything from my period of infancy, was it that the brain chemistry had to attain a certain level of criticality for me (the consciousness) to take form? If death is the non-existence of consciousness then I emerged out of something very dead; out of the non-conscious emerged consciousness.
Why do I fear death if I have never known it? Does this fear not represent a resentment to the ultimate truth to life - or is it the truth, is there more to death than an end or is it the beginning?
