Interfaith dialogue in
our time is going beyond the first step of appreciating other religions to a
growing recognition that the religions of the world have much in common. The
Christian participant may find something in Islam, for example, that can deepen
his or her Christianity, and the Muslim participant may find something
instructive from the teachings of Buddhism. The common ground between religions
becomes more apparent as the dialogue partners penetrate beneath superficial disagreements
in doctrine.
Without proverbs
(traditional wisdom), language would be but a skeleton without flesh, a body
without a soul.
The superior man
acquaints himself with many sayings of antiquity / and many deeds of teh past,
in order to strengthen his character, thereby.
The huge treasures begin
valued at more than Rs one lakh crore found in sree Padmanabha Swami temple in
Thiruvananthapuram were the "exclusive property" of the Tranvancore
royal family that dedicated their kingdom to the presiding deity of the temple.
Kanchi Sankarcharya Jayendra Saraswati said, "The treasures were offerings
made by erstwhile rulers to the temple, hence the recoveries belonged to the
royal family"
The greatest treasures
are those invisible to the eye but found by the heart. For where your treasure
is, there your heart will be also.
The love, kindnesses and
value we have given authentically to others will be our remaining treasures at
the end of life
Fasting of the body is
food for the soul. As bodily food fattens the body, so fasting strengthens the
soul.
Fasting daily rituals,
and austere self-discipline -those who keep the practice of these, are rewarded
with less than a shell
