aaz ke liye kuchh vichaaren


Today’s Quote

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.”

– Alan Alda (B. 1936)

आज की कविता


Today’s Poem
David on March 13th, 2010
“Three passions have governed my life:The longings for love, the search for knowledge,And unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind.
Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness.In the union of love I have seenIn a mystic miniature the prefiguring visionOf the heavens that saints and poets have imagined.
With equal passion I have sought knowledge.I have wished to understand the hearts of people.I have wished to know why the stars shine.
Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens,But always pity brought me back to earth;Cries of pain reverberated in my heartOf children in famine, of victims torturedAnd of old people left helpless.I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot,And I too suffer.
This has been my life; I found it worth living.”
– Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)
