The bounties of nature are free...
...............May be that's why we don't value them.

Mountains and desire

Mountains should be climbed with as little effort as possible and without desire. The reality of your own nature should determine the speed. If you become restless ,speed up. If you become winded, slow down. You climb the mountain in an equilibrium between restlessness and exhaustion. Then, when you are no longer thinking ahead, each footstep isn't just a means to an end but a unique event in itself. This leaf has jagged edges. This rock looks loose. From this place the snow is less visible, even though closer. These are the things you should notice anyway. To live only for some future goal is shallow. It's the sides of the mountain which sustain life, not the top. Here's where things grow.
But of course ,without the top you can,t have any sides. It's the top that defines the sides. So on we go.....we have a long way......no hurry.....just one step after the another.
(From Zen and the art of Motorcycle maintenance)

No one ever travels so high as he who knows not where he is going.

hope is a good thing.
may be the best of things.
and a good thing never dies.

Some quotes ....

Even in the worm that crawls in the earth there glows a divine spark. When you slaughter a creature, you slaughter God. -Isaac Bashevis Singer, Writer, Nobel laureate (1904-1991)

My two favorite things in life are libraries and bicycles. They both move people forward without wasting anything. The perfect day: riding a bike to the library. -Peter Golkin, museum spokesman (1966- )

If one Ponders on objects of the sense,there springs Attraction;from attraction grows desire,Desire flames to fierce passion,passion breeds Recklessness;then the memory-all betrayed-Lets noble purpose go,and saps the mind,Till purpose,mind,and man are all done.
-Bhagvad Gita

All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree. All these aspirations are directed toward ennobling man’s life, lifting it from the sphere of mere physical existence and leading the individual toward freedom. - Albert Einstein, physicist

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business. -Henry Ford, industrialist (1863-1947)


The moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.” - William Murray, mountaineer

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of doing, so they can see that it's not the answer. Jim Carrey

A good teacher is one who makes himself progressively unnecessary . -Anonymous


This is another great difference between our civilization and yours. You admire the man who pushes his way to the top in any walk of life, while we admire the man who abandons his ego. (Seven Years in Tibet –Movie)
