Protecting Your Assets

Remember that whatever may transpire
around you, you still have control and
authority over your
inner landscape.

Treat it--and yourself--like a
treasured garden.

Be of utmost discriminating tastes about
every little thing that enters your abode;
the food, the drink, the quality of air,
the noise you hear, the medications,
and every individual thing.

Question what its purpose is and
whether you wish it for yourself.
You have the right.

Have a safe and happy New Year!

Behind the Facade


"The spectacle of what is called religion, or at any rate organised religion,
in India and elsewhere, has filled me with horror and I have frequently
condemned it and wished to make a clean sweep of it. Almost always it
seemed to stand for blind belief and reaction, dogma and bigotry,
superstition, exploitation and the preservation of vested interests."

                                                                   
                                                                             — Nehru
