The Excellent Teacher Invites
The Superior Teacher Involves, and
The Great Teacher Inspires.
On Teachers Day I take pride in saluting all teachers and expressing my sincere thanks to all those who helped me to understand the real life and experience the ultimate.
Love is the triangular relationship on there sides of a Triangle.
Passion ——- Intimacy
Commitment
The various Combinations are:
1. Liking - intimacy alone
2. Infatuation - Passion alone
3. Empty Love - Commitment alone
4. Romantic Love - Passion & intimacy
5. Compassionate Love -
6. Fatuous Love: Infatuation followed by commitment
(Hollywood & Bollywood love shown in film)
7. Consumate Love (Complete Love)- Intimacy, passion & commitment in balance
8. No love - daily / routine relationship with no sense of intimacy, passion or commitment
All forms are the permutation combination of these attributes.

The seeker is he who is in search of himself.
Give up all questions except one: ‘Who am I?’
After all, the only fact you are sure of is that you are.
The ‘I am’ is certain. The ‘I am this’ is not.
Struggle to find out what you are in reality.
To know what you are, you must first investigate and know what you are not.
Discover all that you are not -
- body, feelings thoughts, time, space, this or that -
- nothing, concrete or abstract, which you perceive can be you.
The very act of perceiving shows that you are not what you perceive.
The clearer you understand on the level of mind you can be described in negative terms only, the quicker will you come to the end of your search and realise that you are the limitless being.
