The 12 pearls
- “Mere man ko bhaya, mein kutta kaat ke khaya” - which I interpret as “I do what I want, not what I’m forced to”.
- There are no friends or enemies. They are just random people who we consider friends if their actions are favorable, enemies otherwise. But that must not stop one from building relationships. Relationships also influence on one’s perception of ‘favorable’ action.
- Purpose of life is to be happy and live in harmony with our surroundings.
- There is no absolute truth. We are beating around the bush by trying to explain life.
- We make mistakes. Our theories can be wrong. Accept when you are wrong. There is nothing to be ashamed of.
- Never underestimate or ridicule others. They might be at a higher level than you are.
- Life is too complex for everybody to be smart at everything.
- Your Mind is very powerful. Learn to control it.
- Live life with simplicity, minimality.
- Don’t assume. Talk and clear doubts.
- Himesh may sound OK to you if you grew up listening to Mukesh. Your environment influences your likes and thoughts.
- Philosophy is crap. Be practical!
