Intellect and Destiny

 மதியால் விதியை ஆராய்ச்சி செய்யலாம் 

ஆட்சி செய்ய முடியாது 

-கண்ணதாசன் 

Intellect can research , dissect and analyze Destiny

but cannot rule over it

-Tamil Poet Kannadasan


The power of the intellect, my friend, is formidable indeed.

With it, we can analyze, dissect, and research the workings of the universe, unraveling the mysteries of creation and the secrets of destiny. But even the most brilliant mind cannot claim mastery over destiny.

For destiny is a force that transcends human understanding, a tapestry woven of countless threads, each strand bearing the imprint of a thousand lives. To try to rule over destiny is like trying to hold back the tide with a broom - a futile and ultimately self-defeating endeavor.

Rather, let us humbly accept the hand fate deals us, and strive always to make the most of the opportunities presented to us. For it is in living fully and authentically in the present moment that we can hope to shape our own destiny, and make our mark upon the world.

Destiny is the Fountainhead

Intellect is a distributary

Intellect is like a shadow - changing always from short to long

While the Destiny is the True form - constant always

How to live on 24 hours a day

Arnold Bennett was a prolific author in the early 20th Century. I read his book "How to live on 24 hours a day" He explains his process in his book : that resulted him in being a prolific author: following are the learning: even in the busiest week, find 7-1/2 hours of time beyond the work ; Focus those 7-1/2 hours on thinking Time practice honest self-reflection using the below questions: what do want for yourself? what motivates you? what scares you? what embarrasses you? What are you proud of? What beliefs do you have that might be wrong? Are you caring for yourself or harsh with yourself? Authors Arnold Bennett
