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.

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, April, 2026 Part II (April 15, 2026) A Subhashitham* Don't share too much. Privacy is peaceful and powerful. 2. Even if you trust your friends, relatives and family, don't tell them everything. 3. The best revenge is not to take revenge at all. Move on. Be happy. Find inner peace. Flourish. 4. When you are right, nobody remembers it. When you are wrong, nobody forgets it. 5. If you keep waiting for the right time, you will waste your whole life and nothing will happen. 6.

Seventh fear One of the perquisites of longevity is getting to hear, see, read or tell things you have heard, seen, read or told already multiple times. You are destined to have similar experience when you pick up a second or third book by the same author. People who accumlate self development literature in their personal libraries will tell you agonizing experience about their monotony in reading same suggestions written by different authors. I have heard people complaining about repetition of the same stanzas in vedic texts like Upanishads and Bhagavad Gita. But there are many around who still want to be guided to a better life. Writings like this are for them. Last one was a long weekend mainly attributable to the Easter holidays. Some of you who may know me may be wondering why someone who has retired in 2003 is talking about a long weekend in 2026. Believe me, retirement doesn't take away your weekends and weaknesses. So long as your eyesight is okay, calendar will stare at y...

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, April, 2026 Part I (April 5, 2026) Editorial Many of us are adversely affected by the side effects of the current man-made chaos initiated by a nation which boasts about a legacy of two hundred years old legacy of democracy. May be, it's a system in disrepair waiting overhaul. Just as America can never compensate for the destruction of precious lives caused by 1945 bombing to the present war, world will continue to repent for the criminal pedestrian apathy of all of us to the present cruelty on humanity, for centuries to come. M G Warrier A Bhagavad Gita https://share.google/aimode/SMV2kXejeoJnTdfxi There are several commentaries on Bhagavad Gita, from Shankaracharya to Nithyachaitanya Yati with those by Balagangadhara Tilak and Dr S Radhakrishnan in between. Gita itself is a brief composition (some 700 stanzas) appearing as a conversation between Krishna and Arjuna just before the commencement of the Kurukshetra war i...

Quote of the day by Ratan Tata: ‘Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going, because…’ | Today News https://share.google/7CBtct3sgXtSmu7c4 MG Warrier: 👆Widely known as a visionary industrialist, Tata wanted to be remembered as someone who worked in the best interests of business and was able to make a difference in the society. How to incorporate the quote in real life? To use Ratan Tata's words to shape one's life, the key is to change how you view challenges and setbacks. Instead of seeing difficulties as failures, try to see them as a natural part of growth. When something goes wrong, whether it's career setback, a personal problem, or a mistake, remind yourself that these “downs” are part of the process that helps you learn and improve. Practically, this means staying resilient during tough phases and not expecting life to always be smooth. Celebrate your highs but also accept the lows with patience and reflection. Each challenge can teach you new sk...
