Swimming in Thought

For some people Dogs have a charm..A few cats..Some Birds..I have a relative whoo grew exotic birds as a hobby..For me it was one fish and he was called Danny..He met with an accident and was replaced by Jaadhu..That fellow also joined Danny in fish heaven..Finding Nemo still tops the charts of my most favorite movie..Swimming in such thots I came across one fascinating article which captivated my attention..A marine fish that is grown in an aquarium of 5*5 m (which is quite a big size for an aquarium)when put back into the ocean limits itself within a 5*5 dimension!!

Same applies to human mind...When u r confined within walls at one point the human mind believes that life within walls is the world!!If one wants to be a fish in the ocean one has to break down the walls he has built with his own prejudices and fear..Then the mysteries and joys of the ocean is for him to enjoy!!

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;
Where words come out from the depth of truth;
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection ;
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sand of dead habit ;Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever- widening thought and action……..
Into the heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

    "Kinathu Thavalai kadachiya kettucham...Appadi enna Kadal entha Kinatha vida peruchanu....athuku Kinathu thavala cholicham, pala madangu.....
