Reason ,the Sap of Vedanta

" The faculty of reason is a human prerogative.It arises from the ability to think.Reason makes a human the chef d'oeuvre of creation .But few care to develop the art of thinking ,reasoning .People do not seem to realise that thinking is skilled work .That you need to learn and practice it .On the contrary you believe that it is a natural process like breathing or eating .That you can think clearly and accurately without putting in the necessary effort on your part .It is not so .If you are to develop the faculty of thinking ,reasoning you need to devote as much time and effort to it as you would to learning any other skill."

excerpt from ''Vedant Treatise " by Shri.A.Parthasarathy .

Pace of life !!

The glitter and glamour continues to fascinate the majority of people .It seems ,people are running a relentless race whithout even realising the repurcussions  of such an aimless pursuit .The three rs -reading ,writing and arithmetic are the base of our education but to our modern world ,they seem to be obsolete .The computer has made the calculations faster .The human mind is working faster than the body ,hence the disbalance .
Please understand that we have to meet the basic requirements with a larger pace to match the rate of growth.The teachings at the nursery level have to be stronger .The formative years of human life is very crutial.Planting a tree is not important .But helping it grow into a tree is what life is all about !!
