A Thought Break!...

"Upadeshalavam shaastram kuruthey ddheematho yatha:|
Thatthu praapyaiva visthaaram svayamevaopagachhathi|| (1)

Jale thelam khale guhyam paathre dhaamam managapi|
Praajne shaastram svayam yaathi visthaaram vasthushakthina:||" (2)

Meaning: "A little instruction and guidance in Science is sufficient for the intelligent student, for this alone will help him develop his knowledge of his own record. Science instilled into the intelligent mind has sufficient vitality in it to grow and expand by its own force even as a drop of oil on a sheet of water, a piece of secret confined to a villain, or a little act of charity of the deserving person!"


--Bhaskara, Indian Mathematician cum Philosopher.
