There were three kids playing on the road.
One yelled, "You are the thief. You've gotta fall down when i shoot you.!"
When they realized that i was watching them there was a two second break then they resumed their
play.
"You must become like that uncle." will be the advise of most of the parents.
Jesus said, "You must become and change like children."
Let us not argue about the divine nature of the children but let me throw some
light on this thought.
Albert Einstein said, "Imagination is better than Knowledge." Knowledge has limitations.
Knowledge is about the past. But imagination has no limits. Sky is also a limit.
It is about the future.
I still envy the kids who are not going to the school. The educational system and the
tyranny of the elders (some of them are exempted) really clips the wings of imagination.
Let's become like children and grow better in the future.

an essay
I gathered some stuff from the tube, prepared them with my gray matter in the upstairs and heated them up in my PC now it is your turn to taste and comment.
The other day in a Tamil talk show called 'Arattatai Arangam'. A girl mentioned about her father who had left her and her mother to live with another woman.
The host asked,"What is your father?" She said, "He is a Pastor."
What about the promise he made in a Church to Keep her with him till death do them part... 'i do' 'i do'(I have never got that sentence correct :) sorry ). What about his position of marrying (that is conducting wedding services) many couple as a pastor?
There was a 62 year old temple priest who sexually abused a 12 year old girl who went to worship. And he is now in prison.
In the land where we sing 'Both god and child are the same' and regard ladies equal
to god, there is a man who worships and helps worship others did this unholy act.
Why are the so called spiritual leaders are like this?
What is the almighty doing?
What shall the common man do about it?
Why don't we become a priest and a pastor?
Our body is a temple and we are the Worshippers as well as the worship leaders.
May be that will bring more sacred temples to the sanctuaries.
I dare you to become your own temple and the priest of the temple.
A temple in the middle of the temples.

spirituality is a part of personality
there is no personality without spirituality. so personality development
is incomplete without spirituality. This has nothing to do with religion.
though religion has and claims to have spirituality, spirituality can be
found outside religion. sometimes religion is a problem in enjoying the
spirituality.
Here we will have the timeless principles and experiences about spirituality
that is suitable for us now and for the future.
ஆன்மீகம் என்பது மனிதனின் ஆள்தத்துவத்தின் ஒரு அங்கம். மதங்களுக்கும்
ஆன்மீகத்துக்கும் சம்பந்தம் இருப்பதாகச் சொல்லப்பட்டாலும் அதில் அதிக உண்மை
இருந்தாலும், மதங்களைத் தாண்டி ஆன்மீகத்தைக் கண்டு கொள்ளமுடியும்.
மதங்கள் சில நேரங்களில் ஆன்மீகத்தைத் தடை செய்வதுவும் உண்டு.
காலங்களையும் கலாச்சாரங்களையும் தாண்டிய ஆன்மீகம் பற்றிய கோட்பாடுகளையும்
அனுபவங்களையும் இந்தப் பகுதியில் அலசவிருக்கிறோம்.
