Guest guest Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Namaste!Paul Brunton, a British journalist spent several months in the Himalaya mountains in the 1930s. He used the time for introspection and writing. He lived in a cabin with one other person who cooked and did the chores. Brunton writes that his trousers were not pressed. If a person from Derbyshire, England had seen him like Brunton was living he would have thought poorly of him. Brunton observes that a person in Derbyshire looks at the trousers whereas people of Himalayas look at the person wearing the trousers. This statement of Brunton is applicable even today. Most are carried away by the appearance of people. If a person wears fine clothes he is respected. The same person wearing ordinary clothes is mostly ignored. They do not try to understand the person. As Sri Nochur Venkataraman says when a person meets someone for the first time the first question is to find out what his profession is. In most cases a profession is a means to make money. Then the profession becomes meaningless. It will be much better if one understands the other as an individual and does not go by the appearance. The word namaste means I bow to the God within you. Now let us try to seek the God within everyone! Hari Aum!Chith Puram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
