The Chilean lesson

Sunday 17th Oct....Room, 299, Ohaupo rd....10 45 pm
Sitting in my bed, after a bloody long weekend duty in which we did about six cases a day, which included four femoral nails, one hemi and one DHS, I am really tired. Waiting for rice to cook to have my "Paal saadham", of late my staple dinner.
The chilean incident has taught us a lesson, I think. People marvel at the technology which could create a small manhole at an exact spot at about 600 meters depth. It was said that the miners are going to come out in Christmas eve, but here they are safe and sound, two months well ahead of the predicted date. We could see many countries, including a mickey mouse country like NZ contributing to the rescue operation.
Man's ability is unlimited. This is the key lesson of this story.
Man can achieve any thing by his powers,intellectual, physical and spiritual.
So all it needs is a situation. If necessities don't compel us, we are complacent.
Now that's no good. A form determination can help achie ve any thing in this universe for man.

Thought and words

Paul Henry’s resignation is saddening and shows the power of words over anything. It is so important not only for Paul Henry but for anyone to think twice or thrice before we utter any word. The words he spoke were just one incident, powerful enough to spoil the whole career of the man. Thoughts have to be pure and unbiased to start with. Unbiased thoughts will never produce biased words or actions. The root is thought, which is perhaps the most powerful thing on earth. Control or what Sivananda calls “culture” of thought is one important virtue of every human. Positive and energising thoughts inculcate a positive aura around you, no doubt.

Thought purity and control is one which everyone has to strive for.
