Theist and Atheist

Image
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and..... Prof: So you believe in God? Student: Absolutely, sir. Prof: Is God good? Student:Sure. Prof:Is God all-powerful? Student: Yes.. Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.) Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good? Student:Yes. Prof:Is Satan good? Student : No. Prof: Where does Satan come from? Student: From....God... Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world? Student:Yes. Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct? Student:Yes. Prof:So who created evil?(Student does not answer.) Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, d...

பிரளயத்தை வென்ற ஆறு கோவில்களில் ஒன்றாக விருத்த கிரீஸ்வரர் கோவில் சொல்லப்படுகிறது. மிக பிரம்மாண்டமான கோவிலாக திகழ்கிறது இந்த தலம். கோவிலின் வெளி பிரகாரம் நீளமானது. கோவிலின் மூலவர் விருத்த கிரீஸ்வரர் லிங்க வடிவாக கட்சி தருகிறார். மிகவும் அமைதியான கோவில், த்யானம் செய்வதற்கு உகந்தது இந்த தலம். விருத்தாசலம் கடலூரிலிருந்து சுமார் அறுபத்து ஐந்து கி. மீ. தொலைவில் உள்ள சிறிய நகரம். பிரளயத்தை வென்ற விருத்த கிரீஸ்வரர் கோவில்.

பார்க்க தெரிந்தால் பாதை தெரியும், பார்த்து நடந்தால் பயணம் தொடரும்.

Have you ever observed, how a centipede moves around. I wanted to know it. I have closed the main door of the hall where a centipede got trapped. I just observed its movement. It initially went to the corner of the floor, then it started moving by the side of the wall. It travelled the entire length of wall and turned at every corner and moved along the side of the walls. Some where on its way, I tried to block its movement by putting an obstruction. But the poor insect never got tired of going around the block that, I had put. Finally it had reached the entrance door and found a small gap under the door. So it made its way out safely. I noticed a kind of perseverance (a persisiting determination) on this little insect. Eventhough it looked panicked whenever I blocked its movement, it never lost its way. How many of us possess this, what this insect has? I am afraid that, many of us would have ended our life, if such a situation arise in our life. We are too much dependent on our five...

Fact and Emotion

Twelfth standard results have been released today. Now its time for some of the parents to feel happy and for many of the parents to feel sad and angry. The chase is on to findout their children and start throwing stones at them, until the parents get tired. I understand the apathy that follow after seeing the marks scored by their wards. Days are gone when parents and students run to collect next days newspaper with lot of anxiety to see the result that would have been printed in smallest of a small font. Children convince their parents by saying "There are lot of printing errors, Let us wait for the actual result from school" for their number not being printed on. They buy some cushioning time before being punished. But it is totally different now. Todays Mobile and internet era have given no such cushion for the ambitious children. Over an SMS parents get the marks in full detail and get ready for beating. This sickness continues and continues. What is the problem?..........

Nasty "Nargis"

Once again nature has shown its might in an ugly manner. At this time of calamity, I pray for the people who have lost their homes, children who have lost their parents, parents who have lost their children, and for the people who have lost their kith and kin. Let us all pray for them. I must recall that, when the low pressure (called Nargis) formed over Bay of bengal few days ago, we never thought this would be a disaster of this kind. When we were suffering under the scorching sun, the low pressure seemed to be a relief. In fact we all expected rain. But, Natures plan was different, as always. Immediately after the news of Nargis causing extensive damage in Myanmar, our initial reaction was "Thank God, We are safe". What a shame?, How much mean we are. Are they not our brothers and sisters? Dont they deserve our support? Let us realise that, the entire world is a single family, and every human is our family member. Once again my deepest condolences to the people of Myanmar.

கடல் நடுவே ஒரு கவிதை

Image
ஆர்பரிக்கும் ஆழ்கடலின் மேற்பரப்பில் ஆறடியில் அழகிய அரண் அமைத்தேன். துள்ளித்திரியும் மீனினத்தை, அள்ளி வந்து அதில் வளர்த்தேன். சிந்தனை வித்துக்களை விதைத்து, விந்தையாக பெயர் இட்டேன், "நான்" என்று. அரண் ஏறி பார்த்தேன் அருகருகே பல அரண்கள், 'நீ' என்றும் ' அவன்' என்றும், 'அது' என்றும், 'இது' என்றும். பிரமிக்கும் தருணத்தில் சீறி வந்தது பேரலை ஒன்று. அரண் அனைத்தும் சூன்யத்தில் கரைந்து விட, 'நான்' எங்கே?, ' நீ' எங்கே?, ' அவன்' எங்கே? ஆழ்கடலே பதில் சொல்லு.
