No need to bother, Honey, he'll be coming LIVE via Satellite Direct, right through our Brand New Super-Mega Plasma Flat Screen Home Monitor System...........

Paths

Any path is only a path, and there is no affront, to oneself or to others, in dropping it if that is what your heart tells you..............Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone, one question.........Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't it is of no use.

Know

All actions take place in time by the interweaving of the forces of nature, but the man lost in selfish delusion thinks that he himself is the actor.
But the man who knows the relation between the forces of Nature and actions, sees how how some forces of Nature work upon other forces of Nature, and becomes not their slave. ---Bhagavad Gita, 3.27-28
