Its a sad state
when people need to promote themselves or their work.
A farmer grows
food and places his production for society. The village shepherd plays his
flute and allows the notes to flow into space. The rishis wrote the ayurveda
texts and handed them over to the world, sans advertisments and sans
promotions.
That which is
worthy lasts. Name and fame are adolescent needs.
Jagannath Chatterjee Yes! Much of our religious
texts are really written by anonymous persons. They just took on the names of
the original writers while expanding on the texts. Completely unselfish work.
Rajesh Pandey "Name and fame are adolescent
needs" says it perfectly.
Aparna Krishnan One needs name and fame when one
is fundamentally insecure. That could be so in adolescence. With age comes a
certian acceptance of the self, and the insecurity is not there. One needs no
validation from others. And then one can act in peace.
Jagannath Chatterjee There was a popular saying
"The flute plays in Krishna's lips because it is empty". Therefore
the authors felt they were empty flutes that were only channeling God's wisdom.
I think the complete submission to God's will really allowed the purest wisdom
to flow through their mouth/ quilts.
