Dear all,
I have been out of Jatland for long a time now... Seriously missed this land of mine!!
Food for thought... Aah.. Not digressing much from the title of my thread..... I am putting this forth for discussion of fellow brains, ISOLATION.
My views.....
Every Isolated person is, in isolation, insane; sanity may be defined as a synthesis of insanities. Every dominant PASSION generates a dominant fear, the fear of its non-fulfilment. Every dominant fear generates a nightmare, sometimes in a paralysing timidity, sometimes in an unconsious or sub-consious terror which finds expression only in dreams. The man who wishes preserve sanity in a dangerous world should summon his own mind a parliament of fears, in which each in turn is voted absurd by all the others.
Everybody has had at some time nightmares of falling, which seem to suggest an origin in the lives of our arboreal ancestors, though this perhaps is fanciful. Hymns and myths tend to speak of refuges from storm and of images of water in a parched land. Hanuman lifting the rock makes a universal appeal, even to those who have never been in need of sanjeevani. Hymns represent heaven as a refuge from the storms of life, not as a place where one escapes the dangers of being run over by a motor-bus, although the latter danger is much more frequent in mordern urban life.....
Cheers!!
