In search a collection of ghazals by Jagjit Singh, In search of Excellencean

excellent book by Tom Peters and others, all searches fascinate me. If there is
offering that the internet will always need,that will be search period. Song,
Book, partner, business, career and many more.
Search for information, call it by another name/names, Search, exploration,
pursuit, hunt, quest, investigate, seek, pursue, chase, detect, track down, it boils
down to just that. Search has always been the question for which our answer has
been progress and development.
In ancient times there have been defined ways to get knowledge, through which
you attained the goal of lifeMukti . The path of knowledge was available
through
1. Books/Vedas: Vedas or all forms of writings gave a person the knowledge that
was needed to attain his goal. Books advised some practical aspects to say that I
am not enough, which then opened the vistas of other forms in which
knowledge was available to be obtained.
2. Teacher/Guru: The Guru was a human form of delivery of the knowledge along
with help and guidance available all the time. The teacher would solve and
resolve all the doubts in the minds of the pupil to attain knowledge. The
important aspect of the Guru-Shishya relationship was to surrender and seek.
3. Interaction with People: This was another way, knowledge was said to
obtained, People will share their experience, wisdom, knowledge and pass on
when you interact with them, It is possible to learn by observation, then do and
learn, here the power to observe, absorb and learn is very important.
4. Travel: travel/Deshantara is given a lot of importance, people with wisdom are
said to be well travelled. Many artists, performers, traders, business people,
athletes who travel often benefit from the knowledge of the travel. In travel, your
observation is keener and learning is better.
5. Contemplation/Dhyan: This is way to ponder, think through the learnings of all
of the above. The power to think, extrapolations accrue as the thinking sets in.
Now go to the Internet and open a browser and
type http://www.google.com and look at all the possible ways to gain
knowledge. Is it another vista of knowledge or is it a combination of all. Recently
launched Google Books http://books.google.com, Online Gurus are available
through http://scholar.google.com, videos through You
Tube http://www.youtube.com and many other sources. Calender, Docs, GTalk,
Q&A sessions, online queries are all possible ways.
Travel, go to Google maps, visit on earth, under water, over sky and where else.
Search for a job, travel, leisure, entertainment, partner, business associate,
business requirement, vendor, all that MATTERs.
Hi Google, what is your idea for contemplation? May there is one, I am not aware
or it is in the labs somewhere in the IT parks of Bangalore waiting to be
launched.
