Taboo subjects

Y'day I was talking to someone about the forbidden topic of Sex. Why forbidden?Because in India we don't talk it out loud.Though we are all experts at it.The question which arose was why do we consider the topic taboo?
Now consider this the rest of the world young students at the age of 13 or 15 have already experienced it still here in India we are so particular about our kids not doing that.95% of the world thinks it is ok to have sex before marriage or at school.But here in India we deride it. Now consider this 95% of the world says it is okay are they right or are we right?
Similarly we denounce the killing of cows. The world over beef is eaten. So again the question is whether we are right or is the world?Similarly we again go back to our earlier question are we right or is the world view on sex right.

Since no one has seen or experienced Him, how can anyone talk about Him? The knowledge that they profess to have is as trivial as their forefathers since neither of them have experienced Him ever. The knowledge of Self or the longing for liberation happens to someone by the

Success & Failure

Yesterday one of my disciples came and asked me to say some words for her future. She was celebrating her 20th birthday. Though I speak on spiritual I told her that I will talk about her career and other such opportunities. I asked her what she would like to do after she completes her studies and the answer was-I don't know! I told her that it is useless playing football without the goal posts and opponents, so she better have a goal in life. The next was whom would she like to emulate in material worldly success and the immediate answer was Mark Zukerberg, Bill Gates, Mittal and the like! They are highly successful people in this world. Then I asked her whom she would not like to emulate or whom does she consider the most unsuccessful person in life? That was difficult to say. I prodded her! Unable to pin point anyone, I told her the people I would not like to emulate or copy are my parents! That shocked her completely and immediately the heckles stood up. But frankly look a
