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...

Warrier's Friends' Collage May 2026 Part II (May 10, 2026)

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, May, 2026 Part II (May 10, 2026) Friends As you are experiencing, Collage is changing. Rather experimenting. I've discontinued the pattern we followed during the pandemic. Then we were trying to share reader's contributions/responses. As the time I devote to bring out Collage, even as a weekly bulletin is limited, I'm just keeping the torch burning 🙏 Regards M G Warrier Quote of the Day by Leo Tolstoy : "I sit on a man's back, choking him and making him carry me, and yet assure myself and others that I am very sorry for him and wish to ease his lot by all possible means - except by getting off his back." (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. When I gave a copy of my book suggesting he may place it in the bookshelf in his lobby, he gave this book ...

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 ...

Warrier's Friends' Collage May 2026 Part I (May 5, 2026)

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 ...

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, April, 2026 Part III (April 26, 2026) Sleep Special A Sound Sleep For A Sound Mind Sound Sleep for a Sound Mind — Noble Psychology https://share.google/GvxUEfggSGI0GNkhg B From the Dreams Garden Few days ago, while returning after evening walk in the Dreams premises, I clicked a photo of a croton plant. 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. I skip through fast when I come across book reviews. Oddly, I got introduced to this book while surfing the net for something related to Psychology. What attracted my attention wa...

This Will Also Pass

This Will Also Pass Shankaracharya said, if you remove ignorance, wisdom will surface. Picasso echoed the same idea “Art Is The Elimination Of The Unnecessary” — Pablo Picasso Perhaps both are right in their own way. Wisdom is refined commonsense made marketable. For me, the perennial source of commonsense is our inherited literature including scriptures, bible and quran. When the world outside is trying to believe in "This will also pass" and continues to mind own business ignoring the US Anarchy which allows the Trumpian trumpery, I just tried to find out the problem Trump is facing, by referring to Bhagavad Gita. I could locate two stanzas relevant to my search : https://share.google/aimode/2TXqIKJsRcYBiHuju Please open the link and give a thought to the predicament the world is facing after entrusting the responsibility of governance of a nation which has the responsibility to do justice to destiny it has inherited.
