- Achievement
Arjuna, the hero, goes to the battlefield, then suddenly starts re-thinking and collapses. This is wrong. Do all the thinking you need to do, but once you have made up your mind, go forward and do not look back or waver.

Even if there was some defect in the original plan, it would show up only when and after you had acted upon it. After the first phase has been completed, think again and plan ahead.
- Siva Lingam
Madame Blavatsky regarded the Cross as a Phallic Symbol. Miss Mayo called the Siva Lingam a phallic symbol.

- Cabbage
Of course, there are really no problems in this world, for we create them for ourselves. Yet, again. if we do not create them and then solve them we would be cabbages - with apologies to this wonderful vegetable, and not human beings.

But one must realise Being - like Mat realise. Potentiality becoming actuality is to realise. Otherwise it remains as a hope or as a dream or a possibility. People are often fond of fooling themselves. Philosophy should become real, for the 'being' must be real to us.
