Religious Thought 123

There is a city with eleven gates Of which the ruler is the unborn Self, Whose light forever shines. They go beyond Sorrow who meditate on the Self And are freed from the cycle of birth and death. For this Self is supreme!

- Katha Upanishad

Feelings, whether of compassion or irritation, should be welcomed, recognized, and treated on an absolutely equal basis; because both are ourselves. The tangerine I am eating is me. The mustard greens I am planting are me. I plant with all my heart and mind. I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath. Nothing should be treated more carefully than anything else. In mindfulness, compassion, irritation, mustard green plant, and teapot are all sacred.

- Thich Nhat Hanh, "Miracle of Mindfulness"

Interesting facts about religions

The facts about religions, whether you are believer or not that is secondary matter, the following facts have some sensible things, which all literate persons must admit. Christianity: One Christ, One Bible, One Religion BUT the Latin Catholic will not enter Syrian Catholic Church. These two will not enter Marthoma Church. These three will not enter Pentecost Church. These four will not enter Salvation Army Church. These five will not enter Seventh Day Adventist Church. These six will not enter Orthodox Church. These seven will not enter Jacobite church. Like this there are 146 castes in Kerala alone, each will not go to the other's church to pray...! So much for One Christ, One Bible, One Jehova..... What a unity!

Autumn Landscape, Adirondacks

Sunlight dapples the shoulders of Algonquin and Wright, two of the more than 40 so-called High Peaks that rise above 4,000 feet. Once blighted by logging and industry, the region has undergone a renaissance of woods and waters.

कुछ चमत्कारिक जगहें

अहमदाबाद। देश का गुजरात राज्य विविधताओं से परिपूर्ण है और अपने विशिष्ट भौगोलिक स्थानों के लिए विश्व विख्यात है। इसीलिए यहां आने वाले पर्यटकों की संख्या भी अन्य राज्यों से अधिक ही है। यहां कई स्थल तो अब भी ऐसे हैं, जिनकी रहस्यमयी गुत्थी वैज्ञानिक भी आज तक सुलझा नहीं सके हैं।


हालांकि विज्ञान इनके लिए अपनी-अपनी राय देता है, लेकिन अमुक लोग इसके पीछे ईश्वरीय शक्ति ही मानते हैं, क्योंकि इनके साथ कई धार्मिक मान्यताएं भी जुड़ी हुई हैं।
