On the day of “Buddha Poornima”, the day when Buddha attained enlightenment, a brief tale of enlightenment which just occurred.

This story is about Abhi Shah, who was a “millionaire for a night”

A short thread 🧵
“If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything.”
- Gordon A. Eadie

What would most of us do, if we found a bag filled with 1million dollars on a deserted road? Many of us would take it.
But not Abhi Shah, because he stood tall for his virtues.
Abhi and his family own a convenience store in Soutwick. Most such stores in US sell lottery tickets as well. Very recently, a regular customer came to their store, bought a 30$ ticket, and after scratching it, mistakenly thought that it had the incorrect number. And she threw it

The only thing which works is Capitalism & Economic Growth.

In practice, socialism didn’t work. But socialism could never have worked because it is based on false premises about human psychology and society, and gross ignorance of human economy.
The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries

And that is bound to happen coz, in Capitalism, the risk is disproportionately born by one who is bringing the capital, and we should celebrate
America’s abundance was created not by public sacrifices to ‘the common good,’ but by the productive genius of free men who pursued their own personal interests and the making of their own private fortunes.

To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that prisoner was you.
Often we think that by forgiving we are setting someone else free from their regrets or guilt, but no we are freeing ourselves of that burden.

A wonderful point from @warikoo’s newsletter today.
There is a beautiful story about Nelson Mandela.
He was imprisoned for 27 years, often tortured and humiliated by the jailers at the prison.
He was released and eventually went on to become the President of South Africa.
For his swearing-in ceremony, he ensured that he invited all the jailers of the same prison he was in.
Others asked him, perplexed, "Why would you want to invite them? These are the same people who tortured you, humiliated you, laughed at you, while you were in prison."

So I received some feedback in DM that Kites or “Patang” पतंग find no mention in Indian texts and while “Patang” पतंग is probably a word introduced by Mughals, kites were invented by Chinese.

@Shrimaan
Here I am trying to give some references to a few of our texts which talk about its prevalence in our culture.
Let’s look at this mantra from 3rd Chapter of Yajurveda -

त्रि शद्धाम विराजति वाक् *पतङ्गाय* धीयते प्रति वस्तोरह द्युभि: ||

Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati interpreted पतङ्गाय as an object which has characteristics of moving up and down and is moving “गतिशील”

Scientific relevance of Makar Sankranti and Kite Flying.

@Shrimaan
According to our texts, Sun stands for “Pratyaksha-Braham”, “a manifestation of the Absolute”, bestowing knowledge, spiritual light.

आदित्यं च शिवं 
विन्द्याच्छिवमादित्य-रुपिणम्।
उभ्योरन्तरं नास्ति, 
आदित्यस्य शिवस्य च।।
Makar Sankranti is a festival of celebrating “Sun”

Vitamin D is made by the body with sunlight.

‘Everyman is free to do that which he wills, provided he infringes not the equal freedom of any other man', and 'Resistance to aggression is not simply justifiable but imperative’ -
Spencer के लिखे ये दो वाक्यों ने उस व्यक्तित्व को उत्प्रेरित किया जिसे आज हम वीर सावरकर कहते हैं
वैसे तो वीर सावरकर पर इतना कुछ लिखा गया है और लिखा जा रहा है, कि यदि मैं कुछ लिखने का भी सोचूँ तो ये सूरज को दिया दिखाने जैसा होगा, किंतु मैं फिर भी एक प्रयत्न अवश्य करूँगा।
सावरकर मेरे विचार में एक क्रांतिकारी होने के साथ इतिहासकार भी थे, साथ ही वो उच्च पूर्वदृष्टि वाले राजनीतिज्ञ भी थे। ग़ौर से देखने पर हम पाएँगे कि सभी महान नेताओं की इतिहास में गहन रुचि रही।
