Dear Shriman Sadagopan Iyengar Swamin,
In all of your excellent essays, you commence with
a subject of common, current interest and link it with great effect to quotes
from religious texts.
A common weakness of humanity is to blame others
for our ills, complain constantly of short-comings (kuRai) in
the fulfillment of our expectations and, consequently, suffer more. We
do not see Fullness everywhere as instructed, for example, in Ishavasya Upanishad: Ishavasyam idam
sarvam . Children find short comings in parents (& vice versa), spouses
with each other, citizens with society, the Government and, some times, even
with God.
In addition to praise of God, Guru and Gyanam, our
ancient texts have expound on the nature of the wandering mind, instructing
us on how to perceive right and focus on the purpose of this precious life
granted to us by the Lord.
Members of the List will be grateful to you if you
can publish an article on this Topic. It will be of practical interest to the
younger generation and of instructional value to elders.
May I request other members also to share their
thoughts on this subject?
