Hamsam Yatha Ksiram Iva Ambu Madhyath.

Just Like a swan picks up the essence from milk and the water is left behind!

The full poem goes like this:

Ananta shastram bahu veditavyam,

Unending are the scriptures, many things are fit to be learnt.

Swalpam Tathayur Vahavascha Vighnah

But human lifespan is so little, and there are so many distractions or hurdles.

Yat sara-bhutam tad-upasitavyam

So, pursue only the essence of all knowledge.

Hamsam Yathaksiram Ivambu Madhyat.

Just like a swan extracts milk from the watery emulsion.

i used to have a dream where all my teath fell out, it happened regularly but hasn't happened in ages now. in another recuring dream i have i be walking along and gravity seems to be getting weaker by the second and with each step i bound higher and higher and it gets harder and hader to land again, fucked up or what?

Dreaming about broken teeth has sexual connotations I've heard. uh-oh.
for a sexual health yogi asana, exhale and try to touch your navel to your anus.
Here's my dream. It happened after I was prescribed some wild psychiatric drug. I'd woken up inside dreams, but never like this. I had to kind of lay back and let the dream take me where it wanted to go. I got to a basement hallway in an apartment building, and I could see outside that it was late afternoon. Beside the exit, was a laundry room with lots of washers and dryers, and a little bed and a couple of pieces of furniture, and this was my room. It was a complete mess, so I decided to clean it up. I started seperating clothes into piles and then I asked myself "do I really need to do laundry in a dream?" That shattered my dream and I woke up.

The Oracle of Delphi:

Clean up thy mess!

Straighten up thy things.

Sort out your jumble, Jimbo! :D

I am well aware that the only sins in this life are mine, but that doesn't make it any easier.

Sins? Sins? What is a sin? That action which causes us to repent later is a sin.

All of us are guilty of such actions.
During this whole week, I was considering "if life and its actions are predestined, you know, by Fate, then all our appointments and dialogues are preplanned. We are only doing the acting. Then who is the sinner?"

I came up with some intriguing answers from the Gita. But first, tell me what you think.

I am looking forward to a fresh breath in the wild.
I am just tired of this monotonous routine,
the boring repetitive city life.
So, here is the appropriate poem:
- by Ralph Waldo Emerson.


Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home;
Thou art not my friend, and I'm not thine.
Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
A river-arc on the ocean brine,
Long I've been tossed like the driven foam;
But now, proud world! I'm going home.

Good-bye to flattery's fawning face;
To Grandeur with his wise grimace;
To upstart Wealth's averted eye;
To supple Office, low and high;
To crowded halls, to court and street;
To frozen hearts and hasting feet;
To those who go, and those who come;
Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home.

I am going to my own hearth-stone,
Bosomed in yon green hills alone,-
A secret nook in a pleasant land,
... ...

I will soon be there. Peace.
