Practice a Sutta a Day Keeps Dukkha Away
Dr Ambedkar wanted SC/STs grow like banian
tree,with a tremendous capacity to regenerate,giving cool shade to needy, but never
wanted SC/STs to become ornamental shrubs (planted in Gamlas left at the mercy
of owner for water and sun light) with out roots in the fore courts of
congress. It never can think of an accidental banian seed sprouting in the
heart lands of Indian polity. Fortunately Ambedkarβs relentless fights, efforts
and dreams has seen thelight of the day in UP. Letβs sing and rejoice glory of
our fore fathers. Jai Bheem! Jai Kanshiram!
Verse 65. Profit From The
Wise
Though
briefly one intelligent
might wait upon the wise,
quickly Dhamma he can sense
as tongue the taste of soup.
Explanation:
If a wise person were to associate with a wise person, even for a moment, he
will quickly understand the Teaching. This is very much like the tongue being
able to discern the subtle flavours of soup. This stanza could be further
appreciated when you contrast it with the previous one. In the previous one the
image used is the soup. Though it serves tasty food endlessly, it just cannot
appreciate how food tastes, very much like a foolish individual being unable to
appreciate the teaching even when he keeps company with the wise. An
intelligent man, even though he is associated with a wise man only for a
moment, quickly understands the Dhamma, just as the tongue knows the taste of
soup.

The
Story of Thirty Bhikkhus from Paveyyaka
While
residing at the Jetavana monastery, the Buddha uttered Verse (65) of this book,
with reference to thirty bhikkhus from Paveyyaka.
Thirty
youths from Paveyyaka were, on one occasion, enjoying themselves with a
prostitute in a forest, when the prostitute stole some of their valuable
ornaments and ran away. While searching for her in the forest, they met the
Buddha on the way. As the Buddha delivered them a discourse the youths attained
Sotapatti Fruition, and all of them joined the Order of the Buddha and followed
him to the Jetavana monastery. While staying at the monastery, they strictly
observed the austerity or purification practice (dhutanga). Later, when
the Buddha delivered the Anamatagga Sutta (Discourse on Countless
Existences), all those bhikkhus attained arahatship.
When
other bhikkhus commented that Paveyyaka bhikkhus were very quick in attaining
arahatship, the Buddha replied to them in verse, as follows:

Verse |
Mayawati will recreate her
magic. The results in UP will well point out Ms Mayawati wins the war for 2014.
Ms
Mayawati with her highly performing best and meritorious governance has
awakened the people for Sarvajan Hithay Sarvajan Sukhay i.e., for welfare and
happiness of the entire people as enshrined in the constitution which has stood
the test of time that is very much secular in nature reversing discrimination
policy being followed by the BJP and Congress made the politics Sacred.This is
the vision of BSP.
Ms Mayawati distributed the
wealth of of Uttar Pradesh equally among all sections of the society believing
in equallity. But the congress and BJP do not believe in equality and
distributed the wealth to the rich by taking the votes of the poor.While she united
the broad minded people of Uttar Pradesh with her Sarvajan Hithay Sarvajan
Sukhay i.e., for the welfare and happiness of the entire people who was the
only Chief Minister to rule a record 5 years term, the Congress, BJP and SP are
attempting to divide the people in the name of Religion and Caste.
Polls 2012: In internal spat, Congress hope less
Clash between
Verma and Punia at this stage for any
position of power in the state is almost like a struggle for a crown that has
not been won as yet.
Insiders
point out that Punia has not
been happy with the choice of candidates in his parliamentary constituency and
the extra importance given to Verma.
On the other hand, Verma is
apprehensive of internal sabotage against his son, and has thus chosen to
target the MP.
If any
one leaves his samaj (society) and becomes a chamcha of congress, he goes alone
for personal benefits, but the samaj will not go with him.
Porn row will hit BJP
in Uttar Pradesh
Developments in Gujarat and Karnataka will damage the BJPβs
prospects in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections as it came in the middle of
the electoral battle.
This has disillusioned upper castes in UP.
Narendra Modi has to step down following Gujarat high courtβs
judgment censuring the state government for ‘inaction and negligence’ during
the 2002 post-Godhra riots and holding that this had resulted in an ‘anarchic’
situation.
After this observation of Gujarat high court, Modi has lost all
moral rights to continue as the chief minister. He should step down immediately.
BJP leaders identified with the dubious moneymaking business, their
association with the mining scam in Karnataka, Dilip Singh Judevβs famous
statement βpaisa khuda to nahi, lekin khuda ki kasam, khuda se kam bhi nahi
hotaβ, Bangaru Laxman taking money and admitting the scam tainted Babu
Singh Kushwaha.
The porn clip controversy in Karnataka Assembly,it has lowered the image of politics and politicians and the
incident showed the ‘hiatus’ between preaching and practice by the BJP.
Talking ramayana but breaking perumal koil
To watch this kind of obscene video in the legislative Assembly is in
a way lowering the image of politics and politicians. Respect for politicians
is falling due to these very reasons. It looks BJP does not want to leave even
one facet of corruption. This is BJPβs real face.
We do have candidates from criminal background β
BJP
Knowing BJP will
fall short of the majority mark in the upcoming polls, its leader Uma
Bharathiβs hip is already injured. She cannot even reach River Saryu with her
wheel chair to get drowned after the results. And Nithin Gatkariβs stage
collapsed. These are the signs of total collapse of BJP with the MP and MLAs
watching pornography and Karnataka State Tourism arranging for Rave parties to
the tourists in Udupi to create a Goa competing with the Congress. These
are the developments they are talking about called βVision 2020β.
BJP a supermarket of
corruption, pornography and misgovernance.The entire spectrum of immorality and
corruption can be found under one roof of BJP’s supermarket… If you want to
go shopping for corruption, pornography, spectacle of loss of lives and
properties and misgovernance, BJP is the single window supermarket of
corruption. litany of corruption
charges in BJP-ruled states like the land allotment scam in Karnataka, Madhya
Pradesh, Gujarat and Uttarakhand as well as the recent porn gate controversy
surrounding the three BJP ministers in Karnataka and its inducting the tainted
former minister Babulal Kushwaha.
And he Congress Party house is
in such a mess has a lot to answer much.
An intelligent man, even though he is associated with a wise man
only for a moment, quickly understands the Dhamma, just as the tongue knows the
taste of soup.
