Trust & Faith

This story tells us about the importance of mutual trust between a doctor and a patient despite the harsh environment. If the trust is lost, no doctor will take the risk to treat a rare disease (how severe it is). And without a faith on his physician, no patient will progress towards recovery. Healing begins when both patients and physicians develop this trust. Trust and faith.... 333 BCE. Alexander’s army was passing through Cicilia (Modern day Turkey). Alexander the Great decided to take a bath in the icy water of the river Cidnus (Now called ‘Berdan’). The following day he developed fever, and gradually it led to febrile convulsions. The royal physicians accompanying the king were very scared and reluctant to treat him as they knew the consequence of any glitch in the treatment could cost their life. A physician named Philip from Acarnania was bold enough and came forward to treat Alexander. He prepared a medicinal draught for the seriously ill king. When Alexander was about to dr...

Warrier's Friends' Collage : June 4, 2026

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, June 4, 2026 A Random Reading Responses Responses to Random Reading 2/2026(June 3, 2026) 1 Dr T V Gopalakrishnan ExRBI : "Unfortunately, all these words with indepth meaning remain in books, sometimes in speeches as quotes, and are seldom put into practice to enhance the quality of life. After some time, even this can vanish, and living will be guided by something else more connected with materialism, technology and evolving AI. Chaos and confusion are the present order and tough times are ahead for upcoming generations." My response : True 🙏 I'm sharing what I write for my satisfaction and as part of regular exercise. One or two people like my daughter's cousin Deepa in London may read and the torch will remain burning Thanks & Regards" 2 Vathsala Jayaraman : "Dear Shri Warrier I have this book with me for the past ten years gifted to me by my son.

Warrier's Friends' Collage May 2026 Part III

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, May, 2026 Part III (May 17, 2026) Music : https://youtu.be/ZdhRbHt_IYo?si=VU-w4Ie-0IuInCWI A True Story Bye to Orion He was born on April 28, 2009 but when he arrived on November 8, 2009, he was so tiny and would fit within my palm. Despite his size, he occupied a lot of space in the hearts of all our family members besides his things spread everywhere inside our home. Adorable with his mischievous look, jumping out of joy when we come into our home as though he is seeing us after a long time, wagging his tail vigorously, and sometimes running from one end of the home to the other end at a lightening speed, he created such an impact in our hearts. Our routines changed to get back home within 3-4 hours whenever we go out to ensure we see him as quickly as possible. He loves all kinds of food and demands timely feeding and wanted all of us to spend more time with him regularly. He used to get one toy every 15 days as anything...

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, May, 2026 Part II (May 10, 2026) Friends As you are experiencing, Collage is changing. Rather experimenting.

(As per BrainyQuote) A Good Morning Thought for today : The above excerpt is from "Unposted Letter" by mahatria Ra. The book was gifted to me by our Dentist Dr Naman Hiralal Vora.

Self & The Universal Soul

Nietzsche and the reinvention of the human https://share.google/NkxyXOICmrevZU5Qj Self Development Guidance for self development is available everywhere. As a child, you were guided by parents. During education, teachers tried their best, in libraries, you stared at self-development books for a longer period of time and the newspapers and magazines gave you enough reading material. Religious discourses and scriptures are in addition to all these. Still, you have a lingering feeling that something is incomplete. Pursuit goes on. These thoughts came to mind when I was reading the quote from Sri Aurobindo starting with "I become what I see in myself..." To see something in oneself, one need to know the concept of self. Is it a whole, complete in itself, or is it, as some philosophers tell you, the tiniest imaginable part of a large 'Universal Soul'? I read somewhere today,the Stoics compared the new born soul to a sheet of paper ready for writing. Upon this the senses ...

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, May, 2026 Part I ( May 5, 2026) Shiva Sutras https://amzn.in/d/0eyl1kQ8 Excerpts from Book Overview : According to the legend, Sage Vasugupta received a divine revelation in a dream where Lord Shiva instructed him to seek out a specific stone near a serene stream. To his amazement, the stone turned over at his touch, revealing the sacred Shiva Sutras etched upon its surface. These profound sutras, reserved for those deemed worthy of divine grace, unravel the mysteries of our true nature and the illusory existence we inhabit. Ranjit Chaudhri has translated some important texts of Kashmir Shaivism from Sanskrit into English. These include 112 Meditations for Self Realization: The Vigyan Bhairava Tantra, The Shiva Sutras: Eternal Wisdom for Life, and Sounds of Liberation: The Spanda Karikas. These days, for a change, I've allowed myself to stray away and enjoy the freedom of thought and expression. With that comes the freedom to ...

The way human memory functions is unpredictable. Watching this plant, I remembered my mother's one uncle who had left this world before I was born. He had planted a variety of crotons, several plants with beautiful flowers and leaves, several trees in the large compound. C The book* on my table Meditations By Marcus Aurelius https://amzn.in/d/0jgULWve By accident, we stumble upon some books. Nowadays, I don't visit bookstalls or libraries.
