Krishna on Knowledge
Humility, pridelessness, nonviolence, tolerance, simplicity, approaching a bona fide spiritual master, cleanliness, steadiness and self-control; renunciation of the objects of sense gratification, absence of false ego, the perception of the evil of birth, death, old age and disease; nonattachment to children, wife, home and the rest, and even-mindedness amid pleasant and unpleasant events; constant and unalloyed devotion to Me, resorting to solitary places, detachment from the general mass of people; accepting the importance of self-realization, and philosophical search for the Absolute Truth -- all these I thus declare to be knowledge, and what is contrary to these is ignorance. The Geeta 13:8-12

On Faith
From SarvaShiva, Seattle
"Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that faith is his twin brother" - Kahlil Gibran
"Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe" - Voltaire
"Reason is our soul's left hand, faith her right" - John Donne
"If patience is worth anything, it must endure to the end of time. And a living faith will last in the midst of the blackest storm" - Mahtama Gandhi
"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase" Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe" - St. Augustine
"A man of courage is also full of faith" - Cicero
Why do we despair, agreed times are dire, fears real, but that faith works is also real because these men of great intellect and accomplishment would not embrace faith were it an illusion. Perhaps Faith is capabilities coupled with self-confidence in those, and maybe deployable skills are the only real foundation of faith, separating day-dreams from faith, earned from anticipated or entitled.

On Experience
"Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so" - Douglas Adams
"Experiences are savings which a miser puts aside. Wisdom is an inheritance which a wastrel cannot exhaust" - Karl Kraus
"Good judgment comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgment" - Fred Brooks
"Nothing is a waste of time if you use the experience wisely" - Auguste Rodin
"The only source of knowledge is experience" - Albert Einstein
Innocence is being a child, Experience is that child growing up, like Blake tells in Songs of Innocence and Experience.

On Silence
"The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak"- Baruch Spinoza
For centuries it's been said silence is golden yet we tarnish our image often by speaking too much, creating complications and hurt, when we could be happy and keep others happy by keeping quiet our need to express judgment

On Fear
From SarvaShiva, Seattle
“What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it” – J. Krishnamurti
And empirical knowledge, with all assumptions carefully removed, is the antidote to fear. Reality cannot be escaped but with knowledge translated into skills reality can be livable, even pleasurable, and us drivers not pawns.

On Change
"He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator" - Francis Bacon (1561-1626)
"Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes" - Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)
"Change alone is eternal, perpetual, immortal" - Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
"It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad" - C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)
"Change before you have to" - Jack Welch (1935)
“Surround yourself with people who are open to change. If you are always in the company of cynics, you will soon find yourself becoming like them. A cynic knows all the reasons why something cannot be done. Instead, spend time with people who have a "can-do" approach" - Azim Premji (1945)
For about 400 years its been agreed that change management is a good idea ... so what's new then, except the same old resistance?

Advait in Leonardo da Vinci's words
"As every divided kingdom falls, so every mind divided between many studies confounds and saps itself” – Leonardo da Vinci
Hindus call it Advait, or non-duality – it simply means believe and pursue with conviction, one thing, one love, one pursuit at a time .

Behind our own doors ...
“A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that’s unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push” – Ludwig Wittgenstein
We could spend our lives being centrifugal – dissipating our energies – by pushing others away or build bonds of attraction that fructify and multiply our efforts – and the start is simple: get with those who build harmony between us and ours.

Aristotle on Sense
"A sense is what has the power of receiving into itself the sensible forms of things without the matter, in the way in which a piece of wax takes on the impress of a signet-ring without the iron or gold" - Aristotle.
May you receive and perceive truth and reality as is and then act on it as required and right.

Faith
“A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything” – Nietzsche
So faith has to be yoked to ethical actions otherwise it’s worth nothing except pain to self and others.

Forever true
Courtesy SarvaShiva, Seattle
“We are responsible for what we are, and whatever we wish ourselves to be, we have the power to make ourselves. If what we are now has been the result of our own past actions, it certainly follows that whatever we wish to be in future can be produced by our present actions; so we have to know how to act” - Swami Vivekananda

The Mirror
Courtesy SarvaShiva, Seattle
If you hold a mirror up to you, you will see the face of the person who will lead you to God or away from Him, and in that mirror, if you look hard, you will also see not just you, but also the people you have made happy, and those you’ve made sad.
That mirror is the holiest of holy books, because what it shows is the eternal truth about you.

Hey, How're you doin'
Just saying hello.
No agenda.
Why must it always be reason based, why can't we just chill and chat? Otherwise it's too business like and we're aren't business associates or colleagues so the whole point is to shoot breeze.
So what's happening? Is work good? And what's going on at home?
I read this great line that goes something like, "there's no order in the universe so we need to adapt to chaos". Have you read "Breakfast of Champions"? It's by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. Brilliant, funny, and heart breaking sad. He's at times America's conscience, no?
And last night this brilliant man, Dr. Parikh, said on the phone, "reason for tension is our attitude .... and ... the only way to be happy in marriage is to divorce oneself". Isn't that brilliant? I mean if you accept what is, and make the best with it then tension probably is mitigated by the effort dealing with reality. It's the conflict, the fight and not winning that causes tension. And though it's hard subjugating "Me" until that is done one is in a self created self centered vortex of self denial, self importance and that sure breeds tension.
Enough of that, what's with you? Do you like Shilpa Shetty's butt? Too flat, frankly, no one will call that a great ass. Bipasha has a top ass, no Mariah Carey or J Lo but still an ass to contend with. Aishwarya has no ass, no body - I mean yes she's flesh and blood and skin and bones but not made of sex appeal like Madonna or Kim Basinger - Kim is beautiful and sexy - remember 9 1/ 2 Weeks - or that woman Jharna (something) in Love in Nepal was a sizzler. Sizzler is also a dish in Bombay, which I have only had once, and liked it very much. Come to think of it it tasted brilliant. I know it had meat, but I don't remember what else was in it.
Was too jet lagged I guess. I went to India after 21 years. Wonder if I ever will go back again. Depends ...... firstly on living that long ..... Just saying, not that I am sick or anything but India is so far, and the time when I can think of traveling even farther.
It's been snowing again. I tried to upload photos to show you, but the up loader isn't working. But, it's been bone chilling cold and icy. There's black ice on roads you can't see but the car wobbles, and slides and nothing happens when you brake except skidding - though I feel grateful that I have a 4Matic which makes driving a bit easier, but it's still tough driving on mirror smooth roads.
Sunday we sponsored an event, and not knowing better I wore Snake skin Boots and a Leather Jacket, sans scarf or gloves, and almost froze. The cold seeped through the boots, from the soles and the top and the jacket wasn't warm enough, so now have to deal with getting used to winter boots and coats - problem is they're not sleek. Sleek Fur Lined Parka and Cold Resistant Boots (I don't even do Doc Martens) - blech!
Found there's a place in Van that serves Venison burgers! have you tried Venison? If its not gamy or tough it's fantastic. Been a long time since I've had it. Another thing I like is fried chicken. Even KFC.
Found that men who have sex more than 3 times a week are happier than men who don't but also they know the right women or woman!
See ya.

I must do it - do it, do it, do it ....
I must.
No other way other than "I must".
If I don't I will be forgotten.
Minions and millions who just might otherwise stumble upon me will not if I don't.
What would that mean? To my ego, pride, sanity, sex drive? It could play havoc with them all - and I cannot allow that as without sex drive I am a non performing nincompoop which I cannot be as to perform is to be me so I must.
The show must go on so I must too - but the pressure, the anxiety - wish I felt the same when taking exams or studying for them - had I felt this way and acted on "Í must" I'd have been somewhere else rather than here - not that it's bad looking here, or bad smelling, it isn't - but I could've been an Actuary or a Professor of Math or a total son-of-a-bitch high flying Stock Broker, but that time and age "I Must" was for most things that my parents were against. Were your parents against your lets say horny activities? So what were your issues? Did you ever think of running away or killing your parents? And when did you realize that you were not really odd even though the world thought so - screw the world - them/ they always complain about stuff, I mean so what's the big deal about peeing in their pool - from the diving board? Youth, exuberance it all is cool.
It snowed last night - in big flurries - so it was like driving through a storm of cotton candy, not that that has anything to do with what you and I must do - actually this is about what I must do and I did. I had to come to work - I did. Snow lay like little tufts on grass and on top of roofs as I whizzed by because I must go to work and I did. Does that make me a noble person? I love to be nobility. A nice red robe, lots of land and serfs and to be called Lord. I liked those times - photos of them - women with bosoms popping out, but then I am told, I've read, that people and places smelled awful in middle ages - so I don't know if I like that as I am sensitive to smell, touch also, of course taste too, and who isn't turned on by beauty? So I am sensual and sensitive. Does that make me desirable?
Now all this is steering away from my most urgent MUST TASK - write my blog.
Writing a blog is an obsession, but a good one - as it means giving of myself freely. It means I am a good man with good motives.
And things I must make up to say, that will make me sound funny, witty, sexy, pretty, smart, deep - fuck all that - what should I say which will make people lap up my blog - 1,000 views, 476 comments. Should I talk about God, Sex, Money, Politics, Brothels?
I've not seen the inside of a brothel, not that I want to, how dare you think I'm a whore monger? It's like saying, okay never mind, you won't understand how it feels to be accused. Your parents never accused you? Not that you're my parent, but it's not good to accuse.
There still are holes in the floor toilets in Paris, I don't like them, having to squat and all.
I'm having trouble concentrating, but then everything is connected brothel, hole, Paris - it's all about human experiences in my case inexperiences with brothel, but I am a man, you are a man or a woman and it's all cool - why fight it, why can't we all get along - and the best way to get along with me is by writing to me asking me to write.

Secrets to Get Rich (Revealed!!)
Lest a Non Indian scratch his or her head wondering what or who is a Deve. Answer is: Deve was a Prime Minister, which means head of the government, of India and has recently been accused by a Chief Minister (which means Governor in American) of an Indian State called Karnataka, which I have no idea what it means, but which is home to Bangalore which many of you know what that means - anyway Deve was accused of bringing down a government by using Black Magic - and since I am looking for quick fixes in life this soliloquy was born.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
That question (how to get rich) has vexed humanity since the two legged beings who mostly do it lying down discovered the concept of rich. It has vexed me from quite long ago, not when I am doing it though, at that time my concentration is total, as I firmly believe that multi tasking/ thinking in sexual situations should be limited to sexual matters, only - and by multi I am not condoning orgy. And I am also not recommending lying down, as that's not what makes us human – as "Ï do it missionary style, therefore I am human" is a stupid argument. Now that you know my moral and intellectual stand on sex we can proceed, however now I feel you all know me intimately, so if I blush it is because I am a modest Indian of traditional upbringing.
Who was the world's first rich man - in almost all probability it was a man? And how did he get rich?
That's the question I need answered and (need to) follow all methods, including getting Deve's magical powers working for me, 24/7/365. To bring down a government with magic is fantastic - Bush should've hired Deve to deal with Saddam rather than this expensive war.
Not to worry as there will be situations requiring change so Deve & Sons have a prosperous future ahead of them.
Was the first rich man (the one) who claimed he could cure the sick, or help hunters bag a big booty (not like "she got booty", but a plentiful hunt) - actually a promise of booty would also be enriching in all times as good booty is rare - but that's for another time, so was the first rich man a Pimp? Or was it a Guru, Shaman, Druid type chap?
Or was it a big, strong, brutal man who killed most animals so had most furs which he could then sell?
It could've been a brutal man with a band of guys (for whatever reason they banded) who captured the most fertile grazing pastures, growing fields and productive herds. And protected them by arming his band of guys so hunters would not hunt his herds and the landless would not eat off his land.
Brutal and strong would've been a big key because it was the time for survival of the fittest, so wimps and weenies did not live long. Results not excuses were the basis of making it, "I'm sorry I'm feeling down so I shan't be able to hunt today" did not resonate well for oneself, so the smart refrained from being lazy.
Somewhere along time it became evident that the fur guy wanted something from the land guy so barter started, and I'd love to know what the first negotiating was like - was it "give it or my club is bigger than yours so your brain will be jelly" - and then much to horror find that the other guy's club maybe be smaller but he has something else to pulverize you with so negotiating started. Then collaboration. Then systematic subjugation of those who needed furs and use of land and so forth. All that definitely based on top communication between two brawny* guys (*origin of the now famous paper towel).
Where did divine get into the picture at the early stage? Was it brawn and temperament, and being in a place where there was plenty of stuff to make tools and weapons with and loads of women for sex - I mean there's nothing divine without loads of women for sex, power was not the only point of the harem, which showed ability to protect and provide - but also a man with a harem had to be tactful, deceitful, charming, opportunistic - dealing with multiple women at the same time is not easy, 1 wife is like a staff of 930 militant union members - so that was the first politician. Ahh. Politico is a divine creation who fucks many!
So that you - with poor attention span - are with me so far, it's Guru, Pimp, Land/ Livestock owner, Hunter/ Trader, (in this category a guy who caught the most fish, and a marauder who pillaged forests for stuff like wood might fit), which then would've led to a Boss status which had to be the one who could cause most pain - so it had to have been the guy with most guys with weapons and with enough land to keep all those guys and weapons in one place. In one place would be important because that would mean identity.
In all cases it was brawn followed by timing or agility to act as opportunities were fleeting and competition deadly - like in real death being the result of losing. Life and living required consistent hard work, and a vigilant eye, which is being informed consistently so that would've been the genesis of education - "how did that man do it and I can't" - it took many years of study to find the answer was Cialis, so it proves education is necessary for coitus at a certain age or circumstance - in other words those who study are instrumental in getting themselves and people laid - that is not hypothesis, but a factual statement going by MTv spring break videos, and that Cialis exists.
Strength/ Stamina, Nimbleness, Hard Work, Communication, Education could be attributed to early man's riches. At least I am attributing that to that.
They worked then. They work now.
The Internet is ruled by oligopolies. Innovation is the key to survive (what happened to Atari by the way), 80 hour weeks are standard for the successful and new technologies connected India and China with the rest of the world with under sea fiber optic networks (which is quite major education behind technology) so that guys and dolls with accents can answer queries about your maxed credit cards with massive interest rates – the guy who figured usury is my hero.
So nothing has changed since cave days. One thing has. I can't drag Nidhi by her hair into my cave - firstly absence of cave, secondly Nidhi will kick my ass, and her parents and mine will be horrified at that brutality, my staff will lose respect for me, my customers, minus kinky one's, will leave in droves, and I will be in a shape worst than I am today, so no hair grabbing and cave dragging, as that will make me poorer and I will be asking, "How to be rich? Share your secret as I'm desperate to know, please. Give me Deve's number".
Actually I am asking that, now - see like many small companies mine's also under huge pressure from big, brawny, fast moving, hard working educated companies, so I really need Deve’s number to bring down Picasa and Flicker and become the world's only specialty printing and photo sharing company (black magic is necessary since I ain’t got the brain or brawn to take on those bastards). In lieu of Deve’s number cash (lots of it in a foreign currency since our dollar is hurting) should you decide you really need to do something really lovely for someone really lovely, which is YOU.
Help Vik (me), Help your Karma as the wise say, that could include a giving me a present of two pre paid programmers. So remember you're sending me your hard earned money for your own good - like voting for Jimmy (Carter) was.
One of the world's first rich definitely was someone who could con people to send cow, sheep, fish, woman, money just for asking. I am not that man, but I don't mind being that man, as long as I have your support. After all you do support men in robes – and I look lovely in robe of any color. What’s your preference?
In lieu of support buy my company so you can write such items on the Internet. Do something (for me). Get off you ass (for me), because a stationary ass don’t make money as the wise* (*me) say.

And I am also not recommending lying down, as that's not what makes us human – as "Ï do it missionary style, therefore I am human" is a stupid argument. Now that you know my moral and intellectual stand on sex we can proceed, however now I feel you all know me intimately, so if I blush it is because I am a modest Indian of traditional upbringing.
Who was the world's first rich man - in almost all probability it was a man? And how did he get rich?
That's the question I need answered and (need to) follow all methods, including getting Deve's magical powers working for me, 24/7/365. To bring down a government with magic is fantastic - Bush should've hired Deve to deal with Saddam rather than this expensive war.
Not to worry as there will be situations requiring change so Deve & Sons have a prosperous future ahead of them.
Was the first rich man (the one) who claimed he could cure the sick, or help hunters bag a big booty (not like "she got booty", but a plentiful hunt) - actually a promise of booty would also be enriching in all times as good booty is rare - but that's for another time, so was the first rich man a Pimp? Or was it a Guru, Shaman, Druid type chap?
Or was it a big, strong, brutal man who killed most animals so had most furs which he could then sell?
It could've been a brutal man with a band of guys (for whatever reason they banded) who captured the most fertile grazing pastures, growing fields and productive herds. And protected them by arming his band of guys so hunters would not hunt his herds and the landless would not eat off his land.
Brutal and strong would've been a big key because it was the time for survival of the fittest, so wimps and weenies did not live long. Results not excuses were the basis of making it, "I'm sorry I'm feeling down so I shan't be able to hunt today" did not resonate well for oneself, so the smart refrained from being lazy.
Somewhere along time it became evident that the fur guy wanted something from the land guy so barter started, and I'd love to know what the first negotiating was like - was it "give it or my club is bigger than yours so your brain will be jelly" - and then much to horror find that the other guy's club maybe be smaller but he has something else to pulverize you with so negotiating started. Then collaboration. Then systematic subjugation of those who needed furs and use of land and so forth. All that definitely based on top communication between two brawny* guys (*origin of the now famous paper towel).
Where did divine get into the picture at the early stage? Was it brawn and temperament, and being in a place where there was plenty of stuff to make tools and weapons with and loads of women for sex - I mean there's nothing divine without loads of women for sex, power was not the only point of the harem, which showed ability to protect and provide - but also a man with a harem had to be tactful, deceitful, charming, opportunistic - dealing with multiple women at the same time is not easy, 1 wife is like a staff of 930 militant union members - so that was the first politician. Ahh. Politico is a divine creation who fucks many!
So that you - with poor attention span - are with me so far, it's Guru, Pimp, Land/ Livestock owner, Hunter/ Trader, (in this category a guy who caught the most fish, and a marauder who pillaged forests for stuff like wood might fit), which then would've led to a Boss status which had to be the one who could cause most pain - so it had to have been the guy with most guys with weapons and with enough land to keep all those guys and weapons in one place. In one place would be important because that would mean identity.
In all cases it was brawn followed by timing or agility to act as opportunities were fleeting and competition deadly - like in real death being the result of losing. Life and living required consistent hard work, and a vigilant eye, which is being informed consistently so that would've been the genesis of education - "how did that man do it and I can't" - it took many years of study to find the answer was Cialis, so it proves education is necessary for coitus at a certain age or circumstance - in other words those who study are instrumental in getting themselves and people laid - that is not hypothesis, but a factual statement going by MTv spring break videos, and that Cialis exists.
Strength/ Stamina, Nimbleness, Hard Work, Communication, Education could be attributed to early man's riches. At least I am attributing that to that.
They worked then. They work now.
The Internet is ruled by oligopolies. Innovation is the key to survive (what happened to Atari by the way), 80 hour weeks are standard for the successful and new technologies connected India and China with the rest of the world with under sea fiber optic networks (which is quite major education behind technology) so that guys and dolls with accents can answer queries about your maxed credit cards with massive interest rates – the guy who figured usury is my hero.
So nothing has changed since cave days. One thing has. I can't drag Nidhi by her hair into my cave - firstly absence of cave, secondly Nidhi will kick my ass, and her parents and mine will be horrified at that brutality, my staff will lose respect for me, my customers, minus kinky one's, will leave in droves, and I will be in a shape worst than I am today, so no hair grabbing and cave dragging, as that will make me poorer and I will be asking, "How to be rich? Share your secret as I'm desperate to know, please. Give me Deve's number".
Actually I am asking that, now - see like many small companies mine's also under huge pressure from big, brawny, fast moving, hard working educated companies, so I really need Deve’s number to bring down Picasa and Flicker and become the world's only specialty printing and photo sharing company (black magic is necessary since I ain’t got the brain or brawn to take on those bastards). In lieu of Deve’s number cash (lots of it in a foreign currency since our dollar is hurting) should you decide you really need to do something really lovely for someone really lovely, which is YOU.
Help Vik (me), Help your Karma as the wise say, that could include a giving me a present of two pre paid programmers. So remember you're sending me your hard earned money for your own good - like voting for Jimmy (Carter) was.
One of the world's first rich definitely was someone who could con people to send cow, sheep, fish, woman, money just for asking. I am not that man, but I don't mind being that man, as long as I have your support. After all you do support men in robes – and I look lovely in robe of any color. What’s your preference?
In lieu of support buy my company so you can write such items on the Internet. Do something (for me). Get off you ass (for me), because a stationary ass don’t make money as the wise* (*me) say.
