amitanandan 03-Nov-06, 17:27	one profound sentence!!!! if you had the opportunity to say one sentence to the whole world...what would it be?
rilke 04-Nov-06, 11:25	Live... Live your day at the fullest.
amitanandan 04-Nov-06, 16:03	respect respect everyone.....you will be repected multifold in return
amitanandan 04-Nov-06, 21:29	society the strength of a society lies in how they treat their wekest member
lamb_burger 04-Nov-06, 22:03	What a fantastic excercise!... Make an active practice of loving and caring for one another, each and every day, and our problems with greed and power and vanity just might subside a little; perhaps entirely.
lamb_burger 04-Nov-06, 22:13	G.I. Gurdjieff quote... I would consider this one, albeit it is not my own, nor is it a single sentence; but profound indeed! "If a man could understand all the horror of the lives of ordinary people who are turning round in a circle of insignificant interests and insignificant aims, if he could understand what they are losing, he would understand that there can only be one thing that is serious for him--to escape from the general law, to be free. What can be serious for a man in prison who is condemned to death? Only one thing: How to save himeself, how to escape: nothing else is serious" If you think of it, this is really just a prolix version of rilke's sentence above.
amitanandan 04-Nov-06, 22:17	true indeed very profound and very true......our pain is the worst pain and our foremost thought is to alleviate it as soon as we can.....we empathise, unfortunately we dont feel the pain of others
slyfox4323 05-Nov-06, 06:05	Shut up and listen! I hate people who think they know everything and they don't take time to listen to the explanations or feelings of others
rilke 05-Nov-06, 08:06	The Truth The only truth that matters is inside of you!
amitanandan 05-Nov-06, 13:07	hanging on If you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on
rilke 07-Nov-06, 07:28	From: Descartes The famous quote from Rene Descartes, the french Philsopher: "I think therfore I am"......Cogito Ergo Sum
migchess20 07-Nov-06, 09:19	Unas frases excelentes. Pienso y luego existo. Trata a los demas, asi como a ti te gusta que te traten a ti. Vivamos cada dia como si fuera el ultimo de nuestra existencia. So long. migchess20
amitanandan 07-Nov-06, 17:31	A question re:I so tell me, rilke...what do you think would be the case where a person has intellectual disability and is not capable of normal thought patterns and is not able to think logically...where would he be according to Descartes?? very interested in your comment
amitanandan 07-Nov-06, 17:31	A question re:"I think therefore I am" so tell me, rilke...what do you think would be the case where a person has intellectual disability and is not capable of normal thought patterns and is not able to think logically...where would he be according to Descartes?? very interested in your comment
rilke 08-Nov-06, 01:22	Hard to say I don't think Descartes was not even thinking on such scenario. The famous slogan is just a comfirmation for him, that he was real on what he was rationalizing at that very moment during his profound meditation.
amitanandan 08-Nov-06, 01:51	Any comments anyone?? Intersting. so was that comment made about meditation? on its own merit i suppose there would be a lot of flaws attached to it, dont you think? for a healthy argument sake...does a person think while they are asleep? And if they dont do they cease to exist?
amitanandan 08-Nov-06, 01:54	any comments on this? Thou canst not recognize not-being (for this is impossible), nor couldst thou speak of it, for thought and being are the same thing." Parmenide
slyfox4323 09-Nov-06, 18:28	A comment Yes people still think while they sleep in the form of dreams. Our brain is always functioning and sending signals to all parts of our body. Even people in a coma have som brain activity. If our brain ceases to function then we die.......in essece we wouldn't exist
rilke 10-Nov-06, 07:51	true there are flaws. But when you read Descartes'6 meditations...he was tryiong to solve the mystery of what was the nature of truth, and what to rely on. He confirmed that the senses were not giving him the complete information about the truth. So in order to find the truth of his existence, he knew that his thinking was at least for real,at least something that exsit. At least in sleeping I am not aware of Myself (on the consiouness level), but the mind does not stop functioning.I believe in meditation, is the only way the mind can feel its proper rest.
tootsie 10-Nov-06, 08:14	Reality I think reality fits in with the nature of truth. We see life a certain way and that's our reality, our truth. Then, something happens, an emotional shock of some type and time seems to literally stand still for a few minutes. When those few minutes are over, it is as if we stepped into another world where our perception of life, of people, our entire reality shifted and changed. We never look at life the same way again. What is the truth, the reality? The way one looked at life before the shift, or after the shift? In the twinkling of an eye the world changed.
rilke 10-Nov-06, 09:15	The Maya I agree with tootsie on the perspective on each individual seeing or perceiving life. The changes happens and suddenly something has changed. But Life or the reality of things has not changed; it is the individual who has changed. The hindu's philosophy has called this life an illusion...or "The Maya". This world is not permanent....a constant changing every second of its existence, or our preception of the world is changing every second of our lives.. In a way, it is the Nirvana of Buddha, where things are permanent.
amitanandan 13-Nov-06, 18:05	from the 'Gita' The word 'Maya' also means unreal, illusory, or deceptive image of Reality. Due to the power of Maya one considers the universe existent and distinct from the Supreme Being and the drama of life goes on.
amitanandan 13-Nov-06, 18:10	Tootie's words that is quite true what you wrote...how our perception of things change depending on what circumstances are surrounding us...and one would think that the events are the glasses which change the scenery before us
amitanandan 13-Nov-06, 18:24	goodness passion and ignorance Three Qualities Of Maya's Material Nature Maya's material nature (including all matter) is composed of three ingredients called Gunas in Sanskrit. In English "Guna" can be called "quality". These three qualities are Saatava (Sat or Sato), Raajas (Raj or Rajo), and Taamas (Tam or Tamo). In English, these three modes can be called goodness, passion and ignorance, respectively. They are like intertwined strands of the winding cord or rope of Nature. These three qualities are part of Maya or delusive force inherent in the creation. Through this medium, Nature holds in bondage all embodied beings — Maya's delusive force makes us forget the Self ("Hari Visrai"), it gives rise to emotional attachment ("Moh Upjai"), and it creates duality ("Bhaau Doojaa") where there is none.
amitanandan 13-Nov-06, 21:05	we are who we are To dream of the person you would like to be is to waste the person you are
amitanandan 13-Nov-06, 21:06	Never give up I may cry easily but I never give up Greg Louganis
amitanandan 13-Nov-06, 23:17	This Moment Everything that you need exists in this moment, and this moment is all that exists. Ken Carey
gusr 14-Nov-06, 14:35	We are All Only Human Balck as coal Gleams like gold Hard as stone Soft like down Delicate With prickly skin Nature of mankind Adrienne Ruvalcaba
rilke 14-Nov-06, 14:46	The Moment This is very the basics of Hinduism and Buddism......you live the moment...no past ---no future. NOW is the moment!!!!
amitanandan 14-Nov-06, 15:25	the moment the present without any moh maya....existing without feeling any ties to the world was what the rishis and sadhus were endeavouring to achieve with their meditation
