Human reason has this particular fate that it reaches at a stage when it can neither answer certain questions nor can it ignore such questions
So, Human reason, by its own nature, is not competent to resolve certain questions concerning the ultimate reality.
Limitations as human:
All perceptions seem entirely loose and separate. They are conjoined but not necessarily connected
Bhakti – The doctrine of Devotion:
| Eternal, | Harmony, |
| Perennial, | The Way, Righteousness, |
| Never Beginning nor Ending, | Compassion, |
| Abiding, | Natural Law, |
| Universal, | Truth, Teachings, Tradition, Philosophy, |
| Ever-present, | Order, Universal, Flow, Religion, |
| Unceasing, | Wisdom, Divine Conformity, Cosmic Norm, |
| Natural, and | Blueprint, |
| Enduring | Inherent Nature, Law of Being, and Duty. |
Spirit of seeking:
It is never desirous
A relinquishment that renounces,
All actions worldly or religious
A relinquishment that feels
Oneness with him and neglects contrary things
A relinquishment that performs
Actions religious or worldly if congenial
And neglects those to him,
When uncongenial,
May protection of scriputures be ours,
To guide,
Till the strengthening of convictions,
May protection of scriptures be our duty
To lead
When once conviction is gained
Or else there is a fear of fall,
So long only, our worldy duties(dharma)
Save eating and such others
They remain till the body remains.
Every experience to one is nothing but a reaffirmation of cosmic beauty and play.
Spirituality:
- Indian philosophy has been intensely spiritual and as always emphasized the need of practical realization of truth.
- The word ‘darshan’ means ‘vision’ and also the instrument of vision which stands for the direct immediate and intuitive vision of reality and also includes the means which leads to this realization.
Union of opposites(contraries):
Aligning inner compass:
Performance of duty in the state of active living for the sake of action beyond all consideration of the reward, expected in all states of life, such as loss or gain, heat or cold, praise or blame. This is freedom too, that is, action in the service of the Divine with complete faith in the Law of the Divine.
Consciousness is not a matter of behaviour. It is the nature of existence. Compulsiveness, however, is behavioral. The moment you wait before you engage in a compulsion, you are aligning yourself with the conscious nature of existence. Overtime this helps weaken the compulsive nature of behavior.
Thus it is not simply doing a deed that accumulates karma. It is how we do it, and with what motive it is performed, that makes all the difference.

Eternal law of being a human,
Emotions empowered by intelligence tends to be strengthened
by energy,
so there is nothing wonder in this world greater than being a human,
Human Equation for life,
Empowerment = Devotion + love drives action with knowledge.
Thoughts to ponder,
Truth is one, Paths are many,
God is one, Manifestations are many,
Mission is one, Leelas are many,
Knowledge is one, scriptures are many.

Art of symbolism:
How King Vishwarath Kaushika got into a conflict with the great Rishi Vasishta, and how finally this prompted him to strive to become a Brahmarishi known as Vishwamitra, and become the one to realize the famous Gayatri Mantra.
It is a beautiful story of how Rishi Vishwamitra conquered his anger, lust, greed, jealousy, etc and finally realized the highest truth through his self-effort and the blessings of the Sage Vasishta.
