O Heavenly Father !
O Divine Mother !
Saints of All religions !
I bow to thee humbly in acceptance of your unceasing blessings and yet seek more blessings from You!
Lord!
Make me humble,
accepting what you grant,
and not demanding....
what I want!
Grant me O Lord!
A spiritual Master,
One who'll love me, and yet be stern.
One who'll bring me to Thee,
with Logic and yet be Firm.
Bring me to a state My Lord!
when I follow Your devoted children,
and come back to Your Home.
When I am compassionate to all,
and yet my motto becomes.....
.......God Alone!
in humble offerings to Sri GyanMata

Morality : Source and evolution
P.S. This is a scrap that I've posted to an Orkut thread and I wished to post it here too:
For sure, there is something that has developed in humans as they have evolved from a cro - magnon to the Modern man. This is what is in discussion - Morality and the source of it.
In my opinion this is something innate. Its source is the same as the source of Human existence. Even in the carnal and non developed state humans had some codes (though unwritten/ undocumented). So, obviously all that has happened is the fact that this trait has developed.
So, the source is the same source as that of Humans themselves. Now, those who say that Humans are an original species (believing in the divine origin of world, would say that the source of morality is God Himself)
Religion in my understanding isn't the source of Morality, it is the effect of morality and a collection of codes, ethics and practices which reveal that a man considers the concept of right/wrong good/bad etc.
However, accepting the scientific thought that man has evolved from another species....... Morality still remains innate. Some traits initially shared by the whole monkey family, developed greater in man, in the form of his rational mind, and hence by this perspective, the source of morality is again innate.

Uncertainity and Drastic Changes
I had thought that I will blog today and not yesterday. But, I had not known that I will have to be weeping early morning and listen to abuses. I am writing this post though I know I may edit or delete it later. But I need to write and I don't have anyone around me with whom I can share.
There are things which I might keep denying it in front of the world, I know they WILL remain so. But, I also know it for a matter of fact that these things have their own advantages.
I had started this post at seven thirty in the morning and paused there, saved draft and not proceed, because hardly I realized that the day had drastic changes in store.
I patched up sooner than every time. I patched up on initiative, because I didn't want unnecessary tensions for myself. I have my plate already full.
I went for the dance class and the residential camp I was supposed to have been an instructor at. I loved dancing, but again...choices......There's a spiritual and moral training camp from 14th to 21st which will cost me 1000 bucks, and the one month dance class for 600 bucks. Now I want both bad, and don't have a single penny apart from what mom gave as her contro for the dance class :))
Let's see, something will work out!!!
I've finally reduced my blog number to 2 from 9, and though it was tough parting with those posts, it was in my best interest and I'm happy, easy and manageable.
I am planning on starting a lot of series on thoughts and reading journals. preferably the first one shall be on Bhagvad Gita :)
