Life

ಹಾಯ್,

ನನ್ನ ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ವಿಜ್ಞಾನ ಮಾತ್ರ ಸಾಕೆಂದು ಭಾವಿಸಿ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ. 
ಜೀವನದಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವುದಕ್ಕೂ ಎದೆಕೊಟ್ಟು  ನಿಲ್ಲುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಹುಡುಗ ನಾನಾಗಿದ್ದೆ.

ಆದರೆ ಯಾವುದೊ ಕ್ಷಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸುತ್ತಮುತ್ತಲಿನ ಪ್ರಕೃತಿ, ಜೀವನ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಸೆಳೆಯತೊಡಗಿತು. (ನನ್ನ ಎಂ ಎಸ್ಸಿ ಯ ಕೊನೆ ದಿನಗಳು, ಮತ್ತು ಟಾಟಾ ಇನ್ಸ್ಟಿಟ್ಯೂಟ್ಗೆ ಸೇರಿದ ಮೇಲೆ)

ಅದರ ನಂತರ ನಾನು ಈ ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲು ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದೆ, ಭಾವಜೀವಿಯಾಗತೊಡಗಿದೆ.
ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ಪ್ರೀತಿಸಲು ಆರಂಭಿಸಿದೆ. ಪರಿಣಾಮ : ಸಣ್ಣ ಸಣ್ಣ ಘಟನೆಗಳು ನನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಬಹಳ ಪ್ರಭಾವ ಬೀರತೊಡಗಿದವು.

ಮನಸ್ಸಿನ ಮೇಲಾದ ಆಘಾತಗಳಿಂದ ಬಹಳ ಸುಸ್ತಾದೆ. ಪರಿಣಾಮ ನನ್ನ ಓದಿನ ಮೇಲೂ ಆಯಿತು.  


ಇವೆಲ್ಲದರ ನಡುವೆ ಇತ್ತೀಚಿಗೆ ನನ್ನ ಆತ್ಮೀಯ ಗೆಳತಿ ಜಗದ ಕ್ರೂರ ಕೃತ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಬಲಿಯಾಗಿ ಇಹವನ್ನೇ ತ್ಯಜಿಸಿದಳು.  
ಸುಮಾರು ತಿಂಗಳಾದರೂ ಆ ನೆನಪುಗಳಿಂದ ಹೊರಬರಲಾಗುತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ.
ಅನುಭವಗಳಿಂದ ಪಾಠಗಳನ್ನು ಕಲಿಯುತ್ತಾ ಸಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ಜೀವನವನ್ನು ನೋಡುವ ಶೈಲಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಬದಲಾಗಿದೆ.
ಆದರೆ ತುಂಬಾ ತಡವಾಯಿತೇನೋ ?

Letter to Swamy Vivekananda from Jamshetji Nusserwanji Tata

"Dear Swami Vivekananda ,
I trust, you remember me as a fellow-traveller on your voyage from Japan to Chicago. I very much recall at this moment your views on the growth of the ascetic spirit in India, and the duty, not of destroying, but of diverting it into useful channels.
I recall these ideas in connection with my scheme of Research Institute of Science for India, of which you have doubtless heard or read. It seems to me that no better use can be made of the ascetic spirit than the establishment of monasteries or residential halls for men dominated by this spirit, where they should live with ordinary decency, and devote their lives to the cultivation of sciences - natural and humanistic. I am of opinion that, if such a crusade in favour of an asceticism of this kind were undertaken by a competent leader, it would greatly help asceticism, science, and the good name of our common country; and I know not who would make a more fitting general of such a campaign than Vivekananda. Do you think you would care to apply yourself to the mission of galvanazing into life our traditions in this respect? Perhaps you had better begin with a fiery pamphlet rousing our people in this matter. I should cheerfully defray all the expenses of publication.
