About Me:

I am considering myself as a practical realist and a keen observer ... a theosophist... and a bad person (because my thoughts and ideas are usually weird and not a standard concept of this world). I am taciturn person in a sense that I would listen to any discussions and speak only if its necessary. Nonviolence is the first article of my faith. It is also the last article of my creed. I learned many things in my life (failures/successes) on which I know it is not yet enough for me as preparation for my next journey. I also believed that people changed ... from crude to subtle .... from imperfect to perfect .... from bondage to liberation.

I wish I could live in the times of Gandhi and a follower of Dalai Lama. I wish I could be like them and be in their world but there are many things to consider in my life.

Everything is meaningless! All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth? So I saw that there is nothing better for a man than to enjoy his work, because that is his lot. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?

For me, life is more interesting when you want to discover something beyond others imagination.

In believing God, here's my question: Does God made man in his own image or does man made God in his own image?
