Every human being gets caught up in situations where pressure from circumstances is such that even if he doesn’t want to make mistakes, mistakes happen & he is not able to become free from these mistakes. In order for people to eliminate their faults & to be able to make spiritual progress the Tirthankar Lords & the Gnanis have given the world the weapon of alochana-pratikraman-pratyakhyan. Through our nimit when pain is caused to other person’s ego, a ‘stain’ is formed ...

Due to merit karma of countless past lives, Akram Science is attained in this era of time cycle. One becomes aware that, ‘I am pure Soul,’ the conviction; awareness as the Self sets in; yet who obstructs experience of that state? The reason is one uses ‘inverted spectacles’ [seeing the relative] that are created from opinions & becomes bound to people, things circumstances. The only opinion one should have is, ‘This body is a betrayal.’ Even the slightest negative though...

To progress in religion or spirituality, purity is necessary in worldly life. But current era of time cycle is such that there is no unity of mind-speech-body. In spite of having intention of becoming pure, one cannot remain pure. The exact understanding of how this purity can be developed has been explained by absolutely revered Dada Bhagwan, through which followers open their vision to develop purity in worldly interactions. In today’s worldly interactions, if anything...

I was standing at the variety store checkout counter when you entered the store. You were wearing a ski-mask that covered your entire face except your eyes. You had a handgun in your right hand and a bag in the left making your intentions absolute.

-- LOCKED LIPS -- And if lips become locked Should we scramble In search of a key Or should we not, let them be And witness the long silent linger

In this book, de Raadt examines concepts of informatics – such as dis-information, noise and uncertainty generated by global interconnectivity – that explain the destabilising effect of information technology on society. These concepts are derived from cybernetics and are pedagogically presented to provide students an understanding of the social and cultural context of information. This should help them apply information technology in subservience to human endeavours rat...

"...de Raadt has produced a highly readable text which enjoins us to modify the approach that we use to solve our world problems. He should be commended for his effort: it follows in the tradition of famous predecessors such as Stafford Beer and Geoffrey Vickers who have trodden similar territory." (John P. van Gigch)

A narrative wandering through the tribulations of working for a family-owned, privately-run French hotel and the various hurdles involved in dealing with guests. Every chapter comes alive through Fool's descriptions and illustrative narration.

I’m a desk clerk in a small privately-owned hotel, and that’s an awkward situation for me because, fundamentally I’m an inward, and by that I mean socially inept, individual. Dealing with strangers on a daily basis is not just difficult for me—demanding an exuberance for my fellow man which I simply do not posses—it is slightly painful at times, at times embarrassing. And, because I have a very low tolerance for either idiocy or pretence, sometimes it becomes almost ...

A month after I turned sixteen years old, I was given the opportunity to leave my country, and go north in the continent to the great United States of America. It was not an easy thing to do by any means, neither was it to decide over. After seeking God’s answer in prayer for a few days, I decided to leave my known life behind to venture into the unknown, trusting in God alone to make it safe to my destination. As I made the decision to leave my country, that also includ...

There’s a story related in Sahih Bukhari emphasising the vastness and generousness of Allah’s mercy. The Prophet (saws) picked on certain events throughout history to show their importance. This emphasised a certain message that he was trying to convey to us. Since the events of the past are so numerous, the ones chosen to be related and preserved in his words till the end of time must be of great importance. Whenever we hear stories of the past we should always remember...

المقدمة الحمد لله الذي لا خالق سواه خلق الإنسان وخلق السموات والأرض وخلق الإمام الحسين عليه السلام وجعله نبراساً ينير الدرب للثائرين وعلماً يتخذه الأحرار في العالم إذ هو القائل «هيهات منّا الذلّة » يرفض الذل والخضوع ويريد العيش بعزٍّ وسلام وحرية وهذا الشعار اتخذوه وشاحاً رفعوه على صدورهم. من هنا ارتأينا تأليف هذا الكتاب وهو يتكوّن من ثلاثة فصول: الفصل الأول بحثنا فيه عن سيرة الإمام الحسين عليه السلام المختصرة، وقد ركّزنا في هذا الفصل على خصلة من خصال الكمال ألا وهي ...
