But where the true empathy may take us further?

Sanskrit

Anyone having a New Year resolution to learn Sanskrit might find this link useful. And for all of us who would like to learn more about Sanskrit there is an interesting Guide that we can download in PDF from here

The Spiritual Seeker's Essential Guide to Sanskrit
By Denis Waite

Besides, the various tools for learning Sanskrit such as the Online Sanskrit Dictionary, Sanskrit Tutorials, Sanskrit Pronunciation guides, and software for learning Sanskrit and producing documents in Devanagari & Roman formats, and much more are available on this website . I liked the initial quote that matches my views and experience. Here it is:

"It cannot be stolen by thieves,
Nor can it be taken away by kings.
It cannot be divided among brothers
It does not cause a load on your shoulders.
If spent... It indeed always keeps growing.
The wealth of knowledge...
Is the most superior wealth of all!"

Indeed the knowledge is an unbeatable asset, weapon and tool which only can be surmounted by treasure of human emotions, respect and love.

Let's get to learning with the prayer:

"OM! May that Brahman protect us both (Teacher & Disciple);
May that Brahman nourish us both;
May we work in harmony with great vigor;
May our study be illuminating and fruitful;
May we not hate each other.
Om.. Peace, Peace..."

shaa.ntiH || Peace
