Think Positive and an excerpt from "Da Vinci Koda"

From TOI's 20.11.2009 edition Sacred Space
(Cuz I really liked the quotations today and will also paste the article in my diary)

Waters from many rivers continually flow into the ocean but the ocean never overfills. In a like manner, desires and attachments constantly flow into the mind of the Illuminated One, but he, like the Ocean, in its deepest depths, is totally still and never disturbed.
- Bhagawad Gita, 2.70

Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realise there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.
- Lao Tzu

If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.
- Marcus Aurelius

If you think about disaster, you will get it. Brood about death and you hasten your demise. Think positively and masterfully, with confidence and faith, and life becomes more secure, more fraught with action, richer in achievement and experience.
- Swami Vivekananda

Believe it is possible to solve your problem. Tremendous things happen to the believer. So believe the answer will come. It will.
- Norman Vincent Peale

The law of attraction says that like attracts like, and when you think and feel what you want to attract on the inside, the law will use people, circumstances and events to magnetise what you want.
- Rhonda Byrne

From the same newspaper on 20.11.2009 by Jug Suraiya commenting on cash deposits in Da Vinci Koda in his piece, Jugular Vein

"Take just one instance in the Koda case. A henchman of Jharkhand's ex-CM Madhu Koda is said to have paid Rs 640 crore into an nationalised bank. Let alone Rs 640 crore, you try putting in Rs 64000 cash into any bank, nationalised, non-nationalised, or piggy, and the IT heavies will jump on you with hob nailed boots and take you off scremaing to the dungeons to confess under pain of torture of being repeatedly read out Article 17, sub-clause 15(B) of the Income Tax Act 1951 as to just how in hell or hawala you got your filthy little hands on all that moolah, all 64,000 smackers worth of it."

Just to correct, there is no Income Tax Act 1951. What he is referring to is Income Tax Act 1961. Further, there is no Article 17, sub-clause 15(B) in this Act. There is a section 17, but it does not have 15 subsections.

It was a funny piece in any case.
