Terribly sorry for the delay in writing the third blog. My mother's ill-ness, frequent power-cuts and above all my laziness are responsible for it.
29th May, 1953 at 11.30 was very significant in the history of man. He was able to set his feet on the top of Mount Everest on that day. The next day the Western print media carried the head lines ''Today Man has conquered Mount Everest.'' On the same day, at their ashrams [places where monks live] the saints and sages of the Himalayas kept boards with words like these : ''Today Man and Mount Everest have become friends." This sums up the whole attitude of two civilizations..The modern man first explored the earth with Columbus going westward and Vasco-de-gama eastward. The exploration of man did not stop with those two bitter enemies or most controversial explorers. Man's greed-filled search did not spare mountains, oceans, poles,and even the sky. Rockets were sent into the sky. Then the more powerful ones were left into the emptiness above. But the 'adventurous and clever' man left one thing unexplored : His own consciousness. On the other hand , the saints and seers of India went deep into their hearts.Vyasa , Valmiki, Agastya, Buddha, Ramakrishna Paramahansa and countless other sages have devoted their lives to reach the final frontiers of human consciousness. The energy released by these great men and women continues to affect the lives of scientists, intellectuals, writers, and also of crores of common people in India as well as those in other lands. The impact of a Napolean, an Alexander, a Lenin, a Marx or any other worldly individual is limited, but a Buddha influences an eternity . The Spiritual Revolution ignited by a man of heart ,who is completely self-less and immersed in God-Consciousness is the last remaining hope of humanity that is at cross roads today.

Thank you Sir! All these retards (so called scientists and engineers) were/are being awarded PhDs depending on how successfully they mess with the nature. I pity that I am one among them.
