We all know that it is after all thoughts which give us our identity. Our physical looks do not make us who we are, but our thoughts make us one. What we  think reflects in our daily work as it propels action and motility in the world. Thus, thoughts constitute our identity.  A stupid man is such because his thoughts are not composed while the other is regarded as intelligent only due to his control over thoughts. Thus, thoughts play a major role in titling oneself as stupid or intelligent. But, there is an astonishing factor in an intelligent man which cannot be thought of. Yes! Intelligent beings lack the factor of considering oneself as intelligent. Even judging the other as thus is absent. This is because a composed mind is inwardly focused. And if it is 'focused' then there is no question of diverting from it. In other words, an intelligent one can never be externally driven. On the other hand, a stupid man is highly foolish. His thoughts are like that of a monkey...

We already know that the world is unreal. It is a illusion. It holds the same relevance as the world we perceive in a dream. In this built-in world of illusion, we have further trapped ourselves. 'Lies' cater to this. Indeed, lying is the easiest mechanism to escape reality. It creates another world in this unreal world. Alas! this is the basis of existence today. All of us have our own world to live. We use lies to our convenience, to achieve our worthless goals!

So, men of this caliber propagate their reality which is LIES. Ambition is born out of incessant practice of lying. Thus, today we are surrounded by the world of ambitious men, in other words, liars. As spiritual practitioners we must very well assimilate this truth of the world. Never believe the world as it is lies itself. Hold ont...

An interesting anecdote in the Manas is related to the marriage of Bhagawan Shankar. The sages requested Lord Shankar to take the blessings of Lord Ganesha at the time of His marriage to mother Parvati! This appears astonishing. How could the son of Lord Shiva and Parvati exist before the meeting of His own parents and be present in the form of an idol to bless His own parents? It is said in the Manas that Lord Shiva and mother Parvati very happily performed Ganesha Puja (worship) before tying the nuptial knots! Goswami Tulsidas says: "Muni anusäsaì ganapatihi püjeu saàbhu bhaväni | kou suni sansay karainjani anädi jiyeì jäni (Manas: Bälkäìòa: Verse 1: Stanza: 100) One can ask how this is possible. Lord Ganesha can only be born after the marriage of Lord Shiva and mother Parvati; to which Goswamiji replies that no one should doubt this statement since all the Devatas of the Vedic pantheon are "Anädi" or eternal in nature. There can be no chronology what...
