Some quotes

Some quotes from Prof Menon's class today.
  • "I am. When required, I think" (in response to Descarte's 'I think, therefore I am')
  • "Lets talk later about how our well-beings are interconnected. First, lets observe that our ill-beings are interconnected"
  • "Lets live our lives in the world of form after being firmly established in the world of the formless"

One thing I observed today from the class is a neat technique to be aware of ourselves when we loose awareness and jump into a conversation. The technique is to mark our most frequently used non-trivial word in conversation and commit, really and seriously, ourselves to not using it for a day or so. It keeps coming again and again and along with it, our lost awareness! :)
