very rightly said, it is becuase of self EGO or others EGO, problems arise...
so if everyone sheds EGO if they can,... we can have a wonderful society... but will that happen?...
How our inner Ego sometimes misjudges a PERSON
A lady in a faded grey dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun suit walked in timidly without an appointment into theHarvard University President`s outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn`t even deserve to be in Harvard.
"We want to see the President "the man said softly.
"He`ll be busy all day "the secretary snapped.
"We`ll wait" the lady replied.
For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn`t and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president.
"Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they`ll leave" she said to him. The President, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the couple.
The lady told him "We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus."
The president wasn`t touched....He was shocked. "Madam" he said, gruffly, "We can`t put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery."
"Oh, no" the lady explained quickly "We don`t want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard."
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, and then exclaimed, "A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard."
For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. Maybe he could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, "Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don`t we just start our own?"
Her husband nodded. The president`s face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the University that bears their name. StanfordUniversity, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.
Most of the time we judge people by their outer appearance, which can be misleading. And in this impression, we tend to treat people badly by thinking they can do nothing for us. Thus we tend to lose our potential good friends, employees or customers.
Remember
In our Life, we seldom get people with whom we want to share & grow our thought process. But because of our inner EGO we miss them forever.

From 2008 letter, on derivatives and the importance of choosing your partners wisely:
Derivatives contracts, in contrast, often go unsettled for years, or even decades, with counterparties building up huge claims against each other. "Paper" assets and liabilities – often hard to quantify – become important parts of financial statements though these items will not be validated for many years. Additionally, a frightening web of mutual dependence develops among huge financial institutions. Receivables and payables by the billions become concentrated in the hands of a few large dealers who are apt to be highly-leveraged in other ways as well. Participants seeking to dodge troubles face the same problem as someone seeking to avoid venereal disease: It`s not just whom you sleep with, but also whom they are sleeping with

Warren Buffett is keen on using sexual analogies to explain financial matters
The Berkshire Hathaway CEO quipped today to "Good Morning America" that Congress` first economic stimulus package this year was like taking a pill filled with half Viagra and half candy -- in other words not quite stimulative enough. He suggested a second stimulus package might be needed to pull the country out of its economic doldrums.
During the movie at the start of Berkshire`s annual meeting this year, Buffett was jokingly shown pulling Playboy magazines out of his mattress. Perhaps Buffett`s most-famous sex line came in an interview with Forbes magazine in 1974 when he said the opportunities brought about by the stock market`s decline were making him feel "like an oversexed guy in a harem."

excellent philosophy,keep it up,t makes nice reading ,regards...
brainchild-Make a statement with the way you live your life.Time will pass... economy will revive...no matter how much more you have, you will still not be happy ...
A nice read...
Money has no memory. Experience has. You will never know what the total cost of your education was, but for a lifetime you will recall and relive the memories of schools and colleges. Few years from now, you will forget the amount you paid to settle the hospitalization bill, but will ever cherish having saved your mother`s life or the life you get to live with the just born. You won`t remember the cost of your honeymoon, but to the last breath remember the experiences of the bliss of togetherness. Money has no memory. Experience has.
Good times and bad times, times of prosperity and times of poverty, times when the future looked so secure and times when you didn`t know from where the tomorrow will come... life has been in one way or the other a roller-coaster ride for everyone. Beyond all that abundance and beyond all that deprivation, what remains is the memory of experiences. Sometimes the wallet was full... sometimes even the pocket was empty. There was enough and you still had reasons to frown. There wasn`t enough and you still had reasons to smile. Today, you can look back with tears of gratitude for all the times you had laughed together, and also look back with a smile at all the times you cried alone. All in all, life filled you with experiences to create a history of your own self, and you alone can remember them all.
The first time you balanced yourself on your cycle without support... The first time she said `yes` and it was two years since you proposed... The first cry... the first steps... the first word... the first kiss... all of your child... The first gift you bought for your parents and the first gift your daughter gave you... The first award... the first public appreciation... the first stage performance... And the list is endless... Experiences, with timeless memory... No denying that anything that`s material cost money, but the fact remains the cost of the experience will be forgotten, but the experience never.
So, what if it`s economic recession? Let it be, but let there not be a recession to the quality of your life. You can still take your parents, if not on a pilgrimage, at least to the local temple. You can still play with your children, if not on an international holiday, at least in the local park. It doesn`t cost money to lie down or to take a loved one onto your lap. Nice time to train the employees, create leadership availability and be ready for the wonderful times when they arrive. Hey! Aspects like your health, knowledge development and spiritual growth are not economy dependent.
Time will pass... economy will revive... currency will soon be in current... and in all this; I don`t want you to look back and realize you did nothing but stayed in gloom. Recession can make you lose out on money. Let it not make you lose out on experiences... If you are not happy with what you have, no matter how much more you have, you will still not be happy.
Make a statement with the way you live your life.
Respect life, live with passion!!

brainchild-Very good quote from SRI AUROBINDO!!...
Mind vs Heart
Human Religion deals primarily with religion from a mental perspective. It reduces religion to philosophical debate; the point of religion becomes to believe in the right interpretation of ancient scriptures. Divine religion takes inspiration from the scriptures, but, at the same time feels that the heart of religion is far beyond the domain of the mind. Divine religion seeks to experience God through silence. The divine approach to religion says that, spiritual experience cannot be quantified by the mind; spiritual experience involves inner quiet and being receptive to the Higher Power.
"True religion is spiritual religion, it is a seeking after God, the opening of the deepest life of the soul to the indwelling Godhead, the eternal Omnipresence."
