Absolutely! I agree with you. After a certain time in our lives, circumstances permitting, we can create ourselves. The problem, if there's a problem, lies with our paying far too much attention to what others may say. As you pointed out, mostly, external creation leads to self-creation.
Awesome response. The poem Wasteland poem was also written shortly after the ending of World War I and there were many areas that looked like wasteland so it's an effective reminder of what man is capable of doing. Also in earlier times when battles were more dependent on good weather typically April the troops would stir after their winter encampments and begin fighting again. Another sad reminder of man's creating wasteland and burials of the dead.
In Japan I saw very old trees. In the USA trees are not always valued for their "inner spirit" nor the joy they give others. One tree I saw in Takayama was 800+ years old. Americans cannot fathom that.
Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.
He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.
Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!
Yes, I agree. Fascist/autocratic/theocratic states in Russia and the USA will force Europe and Canada into a partnership that may benefit the world. May they be the light going forward.
To do pranam obeisance means to put one's head where it should be
- at the feet of God.
His feet are everywhere and therefore one may do namaskar, salutation, everywhere, remembering the feet of God.
To do pranam means to open oneself to the Divine Power, which is always streaming down on everyone. One usually shuts oneself away from it.
To do pranam means to give one's mind, one's I to Him, to surrender oneself to the One, so that there should be only He and not you.
You attempt to appease want by want; hence want does not disappear and neither does the sense of want.
When man awakens to the acute consciousness of this sense of want, then only does spiritual inquiry become genuine.
You must bear in mind that only when the sense of want becomes the sense of the want of Self-knowledge does the real Quest begin.
