The Guru is needed when you have the Guri (goal or aim in Telugu). If you do not have that urge, what can the teacher do? Strewing precious seeds on sand or rock is a sheer waste! Inner prompting to see light must send aspirants to the teacher or must draw the teacher to wherever the aspirant is. You must inquire and discriminate: Do objects grant happiness? Is anyone happy? How can one be happy through multiplications of desire and frantic efforts to feed the raging fire? At last, you will, by your own experience, discover that happiness is an inner gift, a spiritual treasure that can be won by equanimity. The moon is the presiding deity of the mind; it must shine, cool and comforting, eternally, in fullness, in the inner firmament of the heart (hriday-akasa). The external material moon waxes and wanes, but the internal mind should be trained to stand up against modifications and moods, and have no marks on it; it should always be a full moon for the victorious spiritual aspirant!

- Divine Discourse, Jul 17, 1962.

                                   Shiva Purana and Glimpses of Ancient Wisdom   Study of literature whether contemporary or ancient gives glimpses of age, its socio-economic, political, religious, philosophic and historical aspects and thus, it is a compound approach to life and existence. Vision, knowledge and wisdom of the ancients attract and teach true art of life and do not hide imperfections and negativity. Subjects of perennial interest – creation, preservation and dissolution form the fundamental substance when they tell through various discourses, tales and legends about creation, destruction, and growth of life in between. They speak of different ages, Solar and lunar dynasties, lineage of rulers with microscopic particulars. Sage Vyasa taught and transmitted ancient wisdom to his devotee Lomaharshana...

  PYTHAGORAS (   570 BC - 500 BC) By T K Jayaraman IRS (Rtd) Teaches Western Philosophy; English and French at Indian Institute of World Culture Bengaluru You are quite familiar with his name as a geometrical theorem is named after him. Pythagoras was the founder of the Pythagorean School of philosophy. They were not as much concerned with substance as the other Pre-Socratic philosophers.
