कोविड-19

बात  बड़ी महत्वपूर्ण है। दुनिया है तो बीमारियां होंगी ही और वायरस भी होंगे । पहले भी चीन से  कुछ इंफेक्शन फैले हैं – 2002 में सार्स,  h7 n9 आदि।  पर   कोरोना या कोविड-19 सबसे भयंकर है।  यदि चमगादड़ों की समस्या इतनी गंभीर थी कि 2005 से उस पर शोध  चल रहे थे। इसके लिए बैटवुमैन जैसे शब्द चर्चे में थे। तब क्या समय रहते चेतावनी और रोकथाम या अन्य देशों से मदद लेने का प्रयास नहीं किया जाना चाहिए था? शायद लाखों लोगों की जानें बच जातीं।

Stay happy, healthy and safe – 63

Once you start working on something,

don’t be afraid of failure and don’t abandon it.

People who work sincerely are the happiest.

 

~ Chanakya

Chanakya  was an ancient Indian teacher, philosopher, economist, jurist and royal advisor. He is traditionally identified as Kauṭilya or Vishnugupta, who authored the ancient Indian political treatise, the Arthashastra, a text dated to roughly between the 3rd century BCE and the 3rd century CE. As such, he is considered the pioneer of the field of political science and economics in India, and his work is thought of as an important precursor to classical economics. His works were lost near the end of the Gupta Empire and not rediscovered until the early twentieth century. ….Wikipedia

I questioned them

People try so hard to let go

of their negative behaviors and thoughts,

and it doesn’t work,

or it works only for a short time.

I didn’t let go of my negative thoughts;

I questioned them,

and then they let go of me,

and so did my addictions and depression.

~~Byron Katie

SEVEN DEADLY SINS — Mahatma Gandhi

 

Wealth without work.

Pleasure without conscience.

Knowledge without character.

Commerce without morality.

Science without humanity.

Worship without sacrifice.

Politics without principle.

Bhagavad Gita – “Song of the God”

Perform your prescribed duty,

for action is better than inaction.

A man cannot even maintain

his physical body without work.

 

 

~~Bhagavad Gita – “Song of the God”

Karma yoga – yoga of action 

 

Work is worship

Set thy heart

               upon thy work,

                             but never on its reward.”

― Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, The Bhagavad Gita

(writer of Mahabharata)
