Does God Exist?!
A man went to a barber shop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As
the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They
talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually
touched on the subject of God, the barber said, "I don't believe that God
exists."
"Why do you say that," asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't
exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people? Would
there be abandoned children? If God existed there would be neither suffering
nor pain. I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all these things."
The customer thought for a moment but didn't respond because He didn't want
to start an argument. The barber finished his job and the customer left the
shop. Just as he left the barber shop he saw a man in the street with long,
string, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked dirty and unkept. The
customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the
barber, "You know what? Barbers do not exist."
"How can you say that," asked the surprised barber. "I am here, I am a
barber and I just worked on you!" "No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers
don't exist because if they did there would be no people with long dirty
hair and untrimmed beards like that man outside." "Ah, but barbers do
exists! What happens is people don't come to me."
"Exactly," affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too, does exist!
What happens is people do not go to Him or look for Him. That's why there's
so much pain and suffering in the world."

The Last 3 Wishes
Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face,
Alexander realized how his conquests,his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence.
He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit
him to reach his distant homeland.
So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world
soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail."
With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wishes.
1) "My first desire is that", said Alexander, "My physicians alone must" carry my coffin."
2) After a pause, he continued, "Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be strewn with
gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected in my treasury".
3) The king felt exhausted after saying this. He took a minute's rest and continued. "My third and last wish is that both my hands be kept dangling out
of my coffin".
The people who had gathered there wondered at the king's strange wishes. But no one dared bring the question to their lips.. Alexander's favorite general
kissed his hand and pressed them to his heart. "O king, we assure you that all your wishes will be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange
wishes?"
At this Alexander took a deep breath and said: "I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt.
Lessons to be learnt from last 3 wishes of King Alexander...
I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor on this earth can really cure any body. They are powerless and cannot
save a person from the clutches of death. So let not people take life for granted.
The second wish of strewing gold, silver and other riches on the path to the graveyard is to tell People that not even a fraction of gold will come with
me. I spent all my life Greed of Power, earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is a sheer waste of time to chase wealth.
And about my third wish of having my hands dangling out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty handed into this world and empty handed I
go out of this world".
With these words, the king closed his eyes.
Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last. . . .
LESSON TO LEARN:
Remember, your Health is in your own hands, look after it.
Wealth is only meaningful if you can share and also enjoy while you are still alive, kicking & healthy.
What you do for yourself, dies with you. But what you do for others will live forever - leave the “Legacy” behind.

A New Look
When you enter the office of Revive Enterprise, Mumbai, what you see is a scene totally different than the usual one at a company office. There is the same
hustle-bustle in the office with everyone running around with some chore or the other, but when you look closely you will notice the minute differences
between a normal office setting and this one. A quirky receptionist asking you to wait around, the phone ringing and the click of the computer keys, but
what is different is that the computer keyboard is in Braille, the phone ringing has Braille writings on it and the receptionist asking you to wait is
vision impaired. Surprised? Don't be as this is just one example of the new ventures that a daring set of entrepreneurs are taking up.
Karan Thakur, founder of Revive Enterprise, Mumbai says, "At Revive, we hire only visually-impaired people to work as our front line as well as back line
staff. When I wanted to start off with this business idea, I can't name a single person who supported the idea or didn't scoff over it. However, I was
adamant to prove them all wrong and went ahead with my plans. Even if these people are vision-impaired, they have immense potential and with the right
kind of training, they can be absorbed into the mainstream professional world instead of pushing them to sidelines and treating them as 'disabled' people
with no sense of the real world." Revive is like a recruitment service for the visually impaired, kind of like a one stop for openings in big organisations,
wherein their candidates can be recruited.
Thakur, who recently quit his job with a leading HR firm in Delhi and came to Mumbai to set up this venture feels that the glass ceiling when it comes
to breaking the biases against differently-abled people are being taken forward by many people and organisations today. "I get call-backs from people who
have recruited someone from our company and they say that they are glad that they joined hands with us. Not only are these people hardworking as you or
me, but their shortcomings give them an unnatural sense of humour and zest for life; they take that to their jobs, thus also creating a friendly environment
all around where they work," says Thakur.
Another entrepreneur, Dhruv Lakra, quit his job at Meryll Lynch, Mumbai, to ultimately start off the business model of 'Mirackle Couriers'. The USP of
Mirackle is that there are only hearing-impaired people hired who work as delivery boys and at various other posts. Ask Lakra, if Mirackle is a social
entrepreneurship venture and he is pat to reply, "I don't get the distinguishing factors between entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship; I am running
a successful business model, which works on the same mantra of profit and loss, as any other organisation. So, no, I wouldn't call myself a social entrepreneur,
but an entrepreneur definitely.
The idea of starting this venture came about when I was sitting next to a hearing-impaired boy in the bus and he was communicating so beautifully by writing
and using sign language, so I thought, why not? That is the difference any which way between that person and me, and infact, he knows sign language and
I don't, so the idea of Mirackle took root." Today, Mirackle, even though it is a relatively new company, has a big portfolio to boast of with many biggies
believing and relying on the Mirackle boys to deliver their packages on time and aptly.

A STORY OF APPRECIATION
One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial position in a big company. He passed the first interview, the director did the last
interview, made
the last decision.
The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the postgraduate
research, never had a year when he did not score.
The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth answered "none".
The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?" The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was my
mother who paid for my school fees.
The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My mother worked as clothes cleaner.
The director requested the youth to show his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.
The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study and read
more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than me.
The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.*
The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His mother felt
strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands to the kid.
The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that. It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled, and
there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.
This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The bruises
in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.
After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed all the remaining clothes for his mother.
That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.
Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.
The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked: " Can you tell me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"
The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished cleaning all the remaining clothes'
The Director asked, " please tell me your feelings."
The youth said, Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would not the successful me today. Number 2, by working together and
helping my mother, only I now realize how difficult and tough it is to get something done. Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value
of family relationship.
The director said, " This is what I am looking for to be my manager. I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person who knows
the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.
Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The company's
performance improved tremendously.
A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted, would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first. He would
be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts work, he assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a manager, he would never
know the sufferings of his employees and would always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be good academically, may be successful for a while,
but eventually would not feel sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for more. If we are this kind of protective parents,
are we really showing love or are we destroying the kid instead?*
You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano, watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them experience
it. After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money to hire a maid,
but it is because you want to love them in a right way. You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day their hair will grow
gray, same as the mother of that young person. The most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and experience the difficulty and
learns the ability to work with others to get things done.

THE REAL PEACE
There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures.
But there were only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them.
One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror for peacefully towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white
clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.
The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down
the side of the mountain tumbled a foaming waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all. But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall
a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had built her nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother
bird on the nest - in perfect peace.
Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?
"Because," explained the king, "peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of
all those things and still be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of peace."
Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita (5.10):
One who is engaged in Krishna consciousness is then beyond contamination by sinful reactions, exactly as the lotus leaf, though remaining in the water,
is not wet.

The Mercy of Lord
Story of Arjunacharya
Arjunacharya was writing a commentary on Bhagvad Gita, and it came to the Shloka where Lord Krishna says, "He carries what we have and provides what we lack.
" How is that Lord will come Himself and deliver the goods? Oh, it is not possible. He might be sending through some agents.
Let me change His words from "I bear the burden and deliver."and instead write "I send some agent who delivers."
After some time, "I shall go and take bath now".
In the meantime, two very beautiful boys came with a cart full of highly valuable items like fruits, grains, ghee and vegetables. Arjunacharya's wife was
there at home.
My dear mother, Arjunacharya has sent these goods to you. Please take delivery.
Arjuncharya's wife :-Oh, You are so beautiful boys, and he has given these items to you to get it there? Arjunacharya is not so cruel. How is that he has
given so much burden to you????
Boys: He asked us to carry on our heads, How can we carry so much? I refused to carry on my head, so he has beaten me.
Arjunacharya's wife:- Arjunacharya is not so cruel. How he has become so cruel? Ok, take some food stuffs now.
Boys : We have to go now, if he will come then he will chastise us.
Arjunacharya's wife:- No, no. You sit down, I will prepare foodstuffs for you.
Arjunacharya returns after taking bath.....
Arjunacharya's wife:- Acharya, you have become so much cruel nowadays ?
Arjunacharya , Oh, what is that ???
Arjunacharya's wife :- Two boys, very nice boys, they have brought so many foodstuffs. You loaded on their head and they denied to take it and you have
beaten them chastised?
Arjunacharya No. I have never done this. Why shall i do it????
Then Arjunacharya understood that
Oh My Lord is so great !! He has shown that He actually personally bears the burden and delivers the goods ! Because I cut his alphabets, He has shown that
beating mark.
MORAL : Krishna's property is unlimited. We cannot understand his power by our infinitesimal intelligence. He expands himself to interact with each & every
spirit soul personally.

Boys: He asked us to carry on our heads, How can we carry so much? I refused to carry on my head, so he has beaten me.
Arjunacharya's wife:- Arjunacharya is not so cruel. How he has become so cruel? Ok, take some food stuffs now.
Boys : We have to go now, if he will come then he will chastise us.
Arjunacharya's wife:- No, no. You sit down, I will prepare foodstuffs for you.
Arjunacharya returns after taking bath.....
Arjunacharya's wife:- Acharya, you have become so much cruel nowadays ?
Arjunacharya , Oh, what is that ???
Arjunacharya's wife :- Two boys, very nice boys, they have brought so many foodstuffs. You loaded on their head and they denied to take it and you have
beaten them chastised?
Arjunacharya No. I have never done this. Why shall i do it????
Then Arjunacharya understood that
Oh My Lord is so great !! He has shown that He actually personally bears the burden and delivers the goods ! Because I cut his alphabets, He has shown that
beating mark.
MORAL : Krishna's property is unlimited. We cannot understand his power by our infinitesimal intelligence. He expands himself to interact with each & every
spirit soul personally.

LETS CHANGE OUR VISION
There was a millionaire who was bothered by severe eye pain. He consulted so many physicians and was getting his treatment done. He did not stop consulting
galaxy of medical experts; he consumed heavy loads of drugs and underwent hundreds of injections.
But the ache persisted with great vigour than before. At last a monk who has supposed to be an expert in treating such patients was called for by the millionaire.
The monk understood his problem and said that for sometime he should concentrate only on green colours and not to fall his eyes on any other colours.
The millionaire got together a group of painters and purchased barrels of green color and directed that every object his eye was likely to fall to be painted
in green colour just as the monk had directed.
When the monk came to visit him after few days, the millionaire's servants ran with buckets of green paints and poured on him since he was in red dress,
lest their master not see any other colour and his eye ache would come back.
Hearing this monk laughed said "If only you had purchased a pair of green spectacles, worth just a few rupees, you could have saved these walls and trees
and pots and all other articles and also could have saved a large share of his fortune.
You cannot paint the world green." Let us change our vision and the world will appear accordingly. It is foolish to shape the world, let us shape ourselves
first.
Lets change our vision..!!

THE ROLE OF ELECTRONIC MEDIA IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERFORMING ARTS
This is the title of the paper I submited in the National Conference on "Contextualizing the Present Kannada Theatre" held in the campus of Bangalore University on 27th March 2010, Saturday.
Here is the abstract:
"ROLE OF ELECTRONIC MEDIA IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERFORMING ARTS"
Performing arts are those arts or skills that involve performance before audience in the form of Music, dance & drama.
Music
MUSIC is an art of arranging the sounds of voice or instruments or both in a pleasing sequence or combination.
It is said that, music is born much before any language could come into existence & is an integral part of human life from birth to death. It is a unique language by itself; the language of the sole.
Since the time of Samaveda, Music, as we all know, has developed itself into a complete art form with many of its genres or styles, the most prominent of them being the Classical music forms like Carnatic & Hindustani in India & Western classical in the rest of the world.
Carnatic music – the classical music of Southern India, is considered as one of the oldest & most scientific system of music in the World with its complex, perfectly systematized raga, tala & gamaka techniques, giving greater importance to creativity & enormous scope for solo performances.
Dance
Dance is an artistic form of nonverbal communication. In simple words, to move one's feet or body, or both, rhythmically in a pattern of steps to the accompaniment of music.
Dance can embody or express ideas, emotions or tell a story. Dancing has evolved many styles. Every dance, no matter what style, has something in common. It not only involves flexibility and body movement, but also proper physics.
Dance has certainly been an important part of ceremony, rituals, celebrations and Entertainment since before the birth of the earliest human civilizations.
Archeology delivers traces of dance from prehistoric times such as the 9,000 year old Rock Shelters of
Bhimbetka paintings in India.
Many early forms of music and dance were created and performed together. This paired development has continued through the ages with dance & music forms all over the world.
In India, Bharata Muni's Natyashastra (literally "the text of dramaturgy") is one of the earlier texts. The text elaborates various hand-gestures or mudras and classifies movements of various limbs of the body, gait, and so on. Beginning from here, raised the various classical styles which are recognized today. Therefore, all Indian classical dances are to varying degrees rooted in the Natyashastra and share common features in the mudras, some body positions, and abhinaya.
The Indian classical music provides the accompaniment for the dance, and as percussion is such an integral part of the tradition, the dancers of nearly all the styles wear bells around their ankles to counterpoint and complement the percussion.
Drama
The genre of literature represented by works intended for the stage. It is an expressive process which is best understood through the idea of symbolization and its role in the discovery and communication of Meaning.
Both music & dance are an intimate & integral part of drama. Though the main theme of Natyashastra deals with drama, dance is also widely featured, and indeed the two concepts have ever since been linked in Indian culture.
There are particular ragas associated with a particular rasa. For instance, the ragas Kambhoji & Kalyani are related to Shrungara rasa & the ragas Mohana & Naata for Veera rasa.
The contribution of mass media like Newspaper, radio & T.V as well as print media in the development of performing arts is very well known. Some of the recordings of legendary musicians of yester years that are otherwise out of reach have been well preserved & propagated by radio. T.V, is able to create a cultural consciousness among the younger generation by telecasting various classical, semi-classical & folk dance & theater forms.
But apart from these there are other modes like electronic media, which can effectively be put to use for this purpose for spreading our performing arts globally.
“Electronic media are that utilize electronics or electromechanical energy for the end
User (audience) to access the content.
The primary electronic media sources familiar to the general public are better known as Video recordings, audio recordings, multimedia presentations, slide presentations, CD – ROM and Online Content.
Many hours of Music, dance & drama performances can be recorded & stored in Cds & DVDs. Portable devices like CD players, recorders. & ipods are also aiding in this regard.
Multimedia presentations, slide presentations etc are effective especially during lecture demonstrations to explain the theoretical concepts
The gadgets like microphones, amplifiers, speakers etc used in enhancing the quality of the performing arts are all the great contribution of electronics to the world of fine arts.
Today, through the developments in the field of electronics, people’s knowledge on the subjects like Acoustics & sound engineering are so great that the well developed theaters like Ranga Shankara in Bangalore make the best use of it.
The world of internet has enumerable wonderful things to offer to the development of performing arts-
There are several websites & search engines offering enormous inputs on the subject.
Discussions & exchange of ideas are possible on the net through blogs, discussion forums, e-mails, mailing lists etc where people from any where in the world can participate. Sharing of materials have become possible through streaming audio & video content & uploads & downloads of files on the net.
The above developments have created awareness towards many western theatrical forms such as Absurdist Theatre, Symbolist Drama etc & these forms have been well adapted to fit into Indian context
Many play in foreign languages like Shakespeare’s work have been translated into Indian languages & vice versa... This indicates cultural exchange between different nations happening through these technological advancements & provides good scope for novelty & innovative ideas in the field.
Some latest Advancements
Today, with a computer with internet, we can listen to thousands of radio stations broadcasting 1000 genres of music, from classical to religious & from rock to folk.
Unllike standard broadcast radio, internet radio stations can be heard virtually anywhere.
We are able to watch 3,500 of most popular television channels Without any hardware installations like dish, receivers, cable, other equipment or monthly subscription fees. This digital innovation provides DVD-like picture quality, high definition transmission, and crystal clear audio output
The points enumerated above are just a few samples of what electronic media is currently offering to the development of performing arts & folk forms.
But the actual scope is much more and amazing looking at the inventions in store and its day-to-day growth. Effective utilization of these would greatly enhance the quality of our Performing Arts and, would no doubt take us to international standards.

THE REFLECTION
There was a king who was a great admirer of art. He encouraged artists
from all over his country and gave them valuable gifts.
One day an artist came and said to the king, "Oh King! Give me a blank
wall in your palace and let me paint a picture on it. It will be more
beautiful than anything you have ever seen before. I promise you shall
not be disappointed. "
Now, the king happened to be constructing a big hall at the rear end
of the palace. So he said, "All right you may work on one of the walls
in the new hall." So the artist was given the job and he was very
pleased indeed.
Just then, another young man said, "Oh King! Please allow me to work
on the opposite wall. I too am an artist." The king said, "What would
you like to make?"
The man said, "My Lord, I shall make exactly what that man will make
on the opposite wall. Moreover, I shall do so, without looking at his
work. I would even request you to have a thick curtain put up between
the two walls so that either of us cannot see the other."
Now, that was a tall statement. Everyone in the king's court,
including the king and the first artist were intrigued. But the King
loved surprises and he decided to give the young fellow a chance.
The following day a thick curtain was put into place and both the
artists got to work.
The first artist brought in a regular supply of paint, oil, water etc.
The second one would come with a cloth and a bucket of water every
day.
After a month the first artist told the king that his work was
complete and he would like to show it to the king. The king sent for
the second artist and asked him, "Young man, when would your work be
ready? I am coming to see the first wall this evening." The man said,
"My Lord, my wall is ready too!"
The king went to see the first artist's wall. He was very, very
impressed with the painting and gave a hefty sum as a reward to the
artist. He then asked for the curtain to be opened up. The same
painting was to be seen on the opposite wall too! Amazing! But true!
Each line, each minor detail was exactly as it was on the first wall.
But this man had not been seeing what was going on, on the other side
of the curtain. So how had he done it?
The king wanted to know the secret. He gave a double reward to the
fellow. Then he said, "Young man, I am indeed very happy with your
work. But you must tell me; how did you do it?"
The man said simply, "It's very easy! I just polished the wall every
day! It was a wall made of white marble! The fellow polished it till
it shone like a mirror. The reflection of the painting across the
room, showed up in it! "
That is what it means to polish yourself. For when we polish our
hearts and souls, we see God's reflection within.It is said that the
world is a reflection of you. Whatever you are, the world will seem to
be that too. If you are sad, jealous, dejected, angry, restless ...
That is what the world will seem to be! If you are happy, the world
will seem to be paradise.
You decide how you want your world to look.

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem
Science has
with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand
and . . .* *
Professor :* *You are Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student :* *Yes, sir.
Professor :* *So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student :* *Absolutely, sir.
Professor :* *Is GOD Good ?
Student :* *Sure.
Professor :* *Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student :* *Yes.
Professor :* *My Brother died of Cancer even though he Prayed to GOD to Heal
him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill.
But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?* *
(Student was silent )* *
Professor :* *You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella.
Is GOD Good?
Student : Yes.
Professor : Is Satan good ?
Student :* *No.
Professor :* *Where does Satan come from ?
Student :* *From . . . GOD . . .
Professor :* *That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?* *
Student :* *Yes.* *
Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything.
Correct?
Student :* *Yes.* *
Professor :* *So who created evil ?* *
(Student did not answer)* *
Professor :* *Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?
All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor :* *So, who Created them ?
(Student had no answer)* *
Professor :* *Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe
the World around you.
Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD?
Student :* *No, sir.
Professor :* *Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student :* *No , sir.
Professor :* *Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelt your GOD?
Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor :* *Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student :* *Yes.
Professor :* *According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol,
Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student :* *Nothing. I only have my Faith.
Professor :* *Yes, Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.
Student :* *Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor :* *Yes.* *
Student :* *And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor :* *Yes.
Student :* *No, sir. There isn't.* *
(The Lecture Theatre became very quiet with this turn of events )* *
Student :* *Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega
Heat, White Heat,
a Little Heat or No Heat.
But we don't have anything called Cold.
We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any
further after that.
There is no such thing as Cold.
Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat.
We cannot Measure Cold.
Heat is Energy.
Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.* *
(There was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )* *
Student :* *What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as
Darkness?* *
Professor :* *Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness?
Student :* *You're wrong again, sir. *
*Darkness is the Absence of Something*
*You can have Low Light, Normal Light, Bright Light, Flashing Light . . . *
*But if you have No Light constantly, you have nothing and it's called
Darkness, isn't it? *
*In reality, Darkness isn't. *
*If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor :* *So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student :* *Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor :* *Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student :* *Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. *
*You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.
*
*You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can
measure. *
*Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.*
*It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully
understood either one. *
*To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that
Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a
Monkey?
Professor :* *If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes,
of course, I do.
Student :* *Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?* *
(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the
Argument was going )* *
Student :* *Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work
and
Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavour,
Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?
Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?* *
(The Class was in Uproar )* *
Student :* *Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's
Brain?
(The Class broke out into Laughter )* *
Student :* *Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain,
Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .* *
No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable
Protocol,
Science says that You have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?* *
(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face
unfathomable)* *
Professor :* *I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student :* *That is it sir . . . Exactly !* *
The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.
Some says that the student was Albert Einstein & for someone else its Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
But this is an intresting & informative conversation no matter who said it.
May God bless you with lots of Faith.
All Glories to God.
Science has
with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand
and . . .* *
Professor :* *You are Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student :* *Yes, sir.
Professor :* *So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student :* *Absolutely, sir.

Professor :* *Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?

Professor :* *Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student :* *Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality. *
*You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD.
*
*You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can
measure. *
*Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought.*
*It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully
understood either one. *
*To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that
Death cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.
Death is Not the Opposite of Life: just the Absence of it.
Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your Students that they evolved from a
Monkey?
Professor :* *If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes,
of course, I do.
Student :* *Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?* *
(The Professor shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the
Argument was going )* *
Student :* *Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work
and
Cannot even prove that this Process is an On-Going Endeavour,
Are you not teaching your Opinion, sir?
Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?* *
(The Class was in Uproar )* *
Student :* *Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's
Brain?
(The Class broke out into Laughter )* *
Student :* *Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's Brain,
Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .* *
No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable
Protocol,
Science says that You have No Brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir?* *
(The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face
unfathomable)* *
Professor :* *I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student :* *That is it sir . . . Exactly !* *
The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.
Some says that the student was Albert Einstein & for someone else its Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam.
But this is an intresting & informative conversation no matter who said it.
May God bless you with lots of Faith.
All Glories to God.

AN INSPIRING FAITH
Faith - the Dog
Meet Faith the Dog
This dog was born on Christmas Eve in the year 2002. He was born with 2 legs -
He of course could not walk when he was born. Even his mother did not want him.
His first owner also did not think that he could survive and he was thinking of 'putting him to sleep'. But then, his present owner, Jude Stringfellow,
met him and wanted to take care of him. She became determined to teach and train this little dog to walk by himself.
She named him 'Faith'..
In the beginning, she put Faith on a surfboard to let him feel the movement. Later she used peanut butter on a spoon as a lure and reward for him for
standing up and jumping around.
Even the other dog at home encouraged him to walk.
Amazingly, only after 6 months, like a miracle, Faith learned to balance on his hind legs and to jump to move forward.
After further training in the snow, he could now walk like a human being.
Faith loves to walk around now.
No matter where he goes, he attracts people to him. He is fast becoming famous on the international scene and has appeared on various newspapers and TV
shows.
There is now a book entitled 'With a Little Faith' being published about him.
He was even considered to appear in one of Harry Potter movies.
His present owner Jude Stringfellew has given up her teaching post and plans to take him around the world to preach that even without a perfect body,
one can have a perfect soul'.
In life there are always undesirable things, so in order to feel better you just need to look at life from another direction.
I hope this message will bring fresh new ways of thinking to everyone and that everyone will appreciate and be thankful for each beautiful day.
Faith is the continual demonstration of the strength and wonder of life .
