Salangai Oli dialgoue

This scene (at the beginning there is a small clip from another movie) is from the movie "Salangai Oli" and the final dialogue of kamalhasan could probably be appropriate to a lot of us :).



Yatho hastha tatho drishti
Yatho drishti tatho manah
Yatho mana tatho bhavah
Yatho bhavah tatho rasah



(Where the hand goes the eyes follow

Where the eyes go, the mind follows
Where the mind goes, emotion follows
Where the emotion goes, resonance with environs follows)


He quotes the above and tells the dancer that eyes, heart and emotion has to mix with the art one practices in order to perfect it. He adds that the dancer's eyes are on the audience, heart is in their appluase and desire on the titles she will get.

How true!! :)

nice post dude ..
very true. Jst to add more notes on the topic, a snippet from the Gita, taken from one the comments on 'No impact man' blog.

“To action alone hast thou a right and never at all to its fruits; let not the fruits of action be thy motive; neither let there be in thee any attachment to inaction.”

In other words, just do it!
