Warrier's Friends' Collage, September 2026, Part III

Welcome To Warrier's Friends' COLLAGE, September, 2026 Part III Interesting responses : Yesterday, after reading my routine daily message, Shri A P Ramadurai from Chennai wondered : "I am always wondering how you manage such intricate articles !" My response was : "All I can say is, this is part of an exercise I'm regular with no expectations about results🙏" Another response from R Jayakumar reads : "I am greatly impressed that you never gave up the practice of responding to chosen News articles from your youth days to till date. It needs a tremendous will power. Many times you say, 'this is my response, but the editor did not publish '. Such occasions may have an discouraging effect, but you never give up your daily routine. That is great. With regards R Jayakumar" I tried to repeat : "As I said, for those who can enjoy, it is an interesting pastime, everyday digging out one or two topics to share one's views with friends. If you are lucky to get some feedback, that would be great and will refuel you for keeping the game going. I've been practising this joke of an activity for more than two decades now. My blogs, media responses, articles and books are all byproducts of this activity." PS : One's responsibility increases when people remind that one is doing something. In my case it makes me humble. M G Warrier A Yaksha Prashna Yaksha Prashna is a famous philosophical dialogue from the Mahabharata between the eldest Pandava prince, Yudhishthira, and a celestial spirit (Yaksha). The Story The setting: The Pandavas are nearing the end of their 12-year forest exile. The tragedy: Overcome with thirst, four younger brothers—Sahadeva, Nakula, Arjuna, and Bhima—successively go to a remote lake, ignore the Yaksha's warnings, drink the water, and collapse lifeless. The test: Yudhishthira finds his brothers and meets the Yaksha. He agrees to answer the spirit's deep existential and ethical questions before touching the water. The resolution: Pleased with Yudhishthira's wisdom and his selfless choice to revive his stepbrother Nakula over his own full brothers, the Yaksha reveals himself as Yama (Lord of Dharma and Yudhishthira's divine father) and restores all the brothers to life. Famous Questions and Answers What is the greatest wonder in the world? Yudhishthira's answer: Day after day, countless beings depart to the realm of death, yet those who remain believe they are immortal. This is the greatest wonder. What is heavier than the earth? Yudhishthira's answer: The mother who gives birth and raises a child. What is higher than the sky/heaven? Yudhishthira's answer: The father. What is faster than the wind? Yudhishthira's answer: The human mind. B Thought for the day : "The Buddha said, "The past no longer exists, and the future is not here." There is only a single moment in which we can truly be alive, and that is the present moment." Thich Nhat Hanh (Thích Nhất Hạnh; Vietnamese: born Nguyễn Xuân Bảo; (11 October 1926 – 22 January 2022) was a Vietnamese Thien Buddhist monk, peace activist, prolific author, poet, and teacher, who founded the Plumber Village Tradition, historically recognized as the main inspiration for engaged Buddhism. Known as the "father of mindfulness" Nhất Hạnh was a major influence on Western practices of Buddhism.)

Nice Day M G Warrier A Messages/Responses 1) TNC Rangarajan Finally, we arrive at prayer that we attempt to extend throughout the day, in which we aim to pray without ceasing. Inwardly, our heart dwells with God; outwardly we offer our actions for the greater good. We find this, for example, in the Christian desert fathers of the Philokalia, in the Sufi tradition, in Hindu yoga, and in Kabbalah. An inner repetition of words of prayer can form scaffolding from which we seek to continuously reach toward the Unconditioned. This very high aim of prayer without ceasing constitutes ...

After a month's extensive search operations, Birbal brought to the court only two people! "But I asked for five", Akbar angrily asked. "Give me a chance to present them one by one", Birbal pleaded and went on to present his idiots : "Maharaj, this man, while travelling in a bullock cart, was keeping his luggage on his head so as not to hurt the bullocks. He is the first idiot. (In corporate parlance , the ones who take all load on themselves and not delegate). Pointing to the second man Birbal continued, "And this man here is the second idiot.
