Random Thoughts ...

Aham Brahmasmi..Thats the latest tagline of Bala's flick "Naan Kadavul". Two words , that says it all. I am yet to see the movie so will blog it later but today doing a simple google search on this phrase yeilded some interesting results.

For instance, look at this quote by Einstein,
"The fact that man produces a concept "I" besides the totality of this mental and emotional experiences or perceptions does not prove that there must be any specific existence [reality] behind such a concept.”
“We are succumbing to illusions produced by our self -created language, without reaching a better understanding of anything. Most of so

It is actually more interesting to see someone like Einstein who was/is(?) one of the most brilliant scientists commenting about philosophy which is way out of his realms.

The words literally mean "I am God". Acording to me the most important word of these is "I". Simply because "am" is just there to fill the void and void is within God in a way. There has been millions of opinions, ideas and perceptions in this single letter/word. Ignoring the philosophical/spiritual aspect this letter, which between themselves have millions of meanings, from a day to day perspective also, every common man gets impacted by this word. "I" also signifies the power of self. But this is a very tricky concept as in for the self, I is superior but considering I to be superior by the self can also be viewed as "Ego". Again, there are debates in different forms as to whether Ego is a positive or negative trait. Being an ardent fan of Ayn Rand, I am biased , yet i still wanna conclude that everything depends on perceptions.

Ok, i do understand that the above post was pure ramblings .. but then i am yet to see the movie , I gave a good link in my blog and also i am back :)
