Das Wesen menschlicher Reife

Die Fähigkeit,
mit relativen Wahrheiten zu leben,
mit Fragen, auf die es keine Antworten gibt,
mit dem Wissen, nichts zu wissen, und
mit den paradoxen Ungewissheiten der Existenz,
dürfte das Wesen
menschlicher Reife und
der daraus folgenden Toleranz für andere
sein.

Paul Watzlawick
aus: Wie wirklich ist die Wirklichkeit? Wahn, Täuschung, Verstehen

Bhagavad Gita

BHAGAVAD GITA SUMMARY (in English)
http://www.eaglespace.com/spirit/geetaenglish.php

The Bhagavad Gita ("Song of God") is the essence of the Vedas and Upanishads. It is a universal scripture applicable to people of all temperaments, for all times. It is a book with sublime thoughts and practical instructions on Yoga, Devotion, Vedanta and Action. The Bhagavad Gita has influenced many great thinkers over the years.
  • Why do you worry without cause? Whom do you fear without reason? Who can kill you? The soul is neither born, nor does it die.
  • Whatever happened, happened for the good; whatever is happening, is happening for the good; whatever will happen, will also happen for the good only. You need not have any regrets for the past. You need not worry for the future. The present is happening...
  • What did you lose that you cry about? What did you bring with you, which you think you have lost? What did you produce, which you think got destroyed? You did not bring anything - whatever you have, you received from here. Whatever you have given, you have given only here. Whatever you took, you took from God. Whatever you gave, you gave to him. 
  • You came empty handed, you will leave empty handed. What is yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday, and will belong to someone else the day after tomorrow. You are mistakenly enjoying the thought that this is yours. It is this false happiness that is the cause of your sorrows.
  • Change is the law of the universe. What you think of as death, is indeed life. In one instance you can be a millionaire, and in the other instance you can be steeped in poverty. Yours and mine, big and small - erase these ideas from your mind. Then everything is yours and you belong to everyone.
  • This body is not yours, neither are you of the body. The body is made of fire, water, air, earth and ether, and will disappear into these elements. But the soul is permanent - so who are you?
  • Dedicate your being to God. He is the one to be ultimately relied upon. Those who know of his support are forever free from fear, worry and sorrow. Whatever you do, do it as a dedication to God. This will bring you the tremendous experience of joy and life-freedom forever.

Tryo - L'hymne de nos campagnes

Tryo - L'hymne de nos campagnes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srb0lAK5wbA

Si tu es né dans une cité HLM
Je te dédicace ce poème
En espérant qu'au fond de tes yeux ternes
Tu puisses y voir un petit brin d'herbe
Et les mans faut faire la part des choses
Il est grand temps de faire une pause
De troquer cette vie morose
Contre le parfum d'une rose

{Refrain:}
C'est l'hymne de nos campagnes
De nos rivières, de nos montagnes
De la vie man, du monde animal
Crie-le bien fort, use tes cordes vocales!
