    Subhashita 18. Who am i ?

    i often sit alone and lose myself in nature that surrounds me. Yes, even cities

    offer space if one so wishes. In those times of quietude, i find myself doing

    a Vimarsh within...i had just come across a subhashita and had begun to delve into what it

    really wanted to say .....for words expressed in Sanskrit are oceans of

    thoughts in a drop of language.

    What will orators do if a listener is not present?In a country inhabited by naked mendicants, what will a washerman do?

    The Ego can really make us believe that we are exceptional creatures. Butthat holds "true" only if the world too accepts it. If the world chose to think

    otherwise, would we be "special" ? Worse....should our natural right to be

    happy depend on how the world views us? Would we be less special?Then how far are we right in feeding our egos? Rather than place that

    "special tag" on our personalities, shouldn't we place it on the "real us" and

    discover the treasure of the Lord within?
