Thought of the week:
--------------------
The order of the universe may be the order of our own minds. We
are not merely the observers of reality; we are also the participants.
Nature is not an open book that we as independant oberservers can read.
- Morris Kline, Mathematics
and the search for knowledge
Site of the week:
-----------------
"I have not found in Europe or America, poets, thinkers or popular
leaders equal or even comparable to those of India today", said
Keyserling. What made him say this ? It is the oldest religion of the
world which said
"Lead me from the unreal to the real
Lead me from the darkness to light
Lead me from death to immortality" (Brihadranyaka Upanishad)
Site of this week is a tribute to this religion with its history,
quotes, etc..
