¶ … Bhagavad Gita and the Tale of Genji
Within the Bhagavad Gita, there is the persistent of three major themes: knowledge (jnana), action (karma), and love (bhakti).When it comes to knowledge, one of the major lessons that Krishna is able to demonstrate is the damage via the misplacement of grief, since the eternal soul, unlike the body, cannot be killed. Thus, some of the major lessons regarding knowledge refer to the importance of discriminative wisdom, achieved through a steadfast mind, which is comparable to a lamp unflickering in a place without wind. The attainment of this stability is achieved through practice, such as via yoga, which can help the mind come to a state of repose (Prasad).
Action is still another major theme of this text: action is important with the endeavor or not getting too invested with the results of the action. The fruits of action often cannot be controlled: yoga is skill in action. Action connects to the four goals of life in that these four goals (passion, wealth, and freedom) cannot be achieved without action. When it comes to engaging in action, one should act devoid of passion and with a sheer absence of a lack of investment in the fruits of one's action, by cultivating a sense of disinterest or detachment from the outcome (Prasad). However, even more than knowledge and action, the overwhelming theme of the Bhagavad Gita revolves around action which is both dedicated and devoted to God via love. Thus the concept of love and God are intensely intertwined. However, love on its own still remains a powerful and pertinent theme of the Bhagavad Gita. For instance, Arjuna responds with love to Krishna's revelation, as only through love can one realize the true form of Krishna. Likewise, Krishna is able to demonstrate his love for Arjuna...
Weathering is a process that happens to surface rocks based on the particular environment in which the rock is located. The two types of weathering are physical and chemical. Chemical weather is a process in which the internal crystals of rocks undergo chemical changes based on environmental conditions. If rock is exposed to water over a long period of time, for instance, it breaks down and often sand and clay
Weathering and erosion are similar processes that occur over time, impacting the nature and appearance of landscapes. The two processes both affect rocks. Erosion is defined by the movement of air, water, or ice on rock formations, or on the force of gravity on rocks as in landslides. On the other hand, weathering simply breaks down or even chemically changes the composition of rocks without necessarily moving them. Weathering and
Planning and Reflection During my student teaching experiences I kept a journal, which greatly helped me to organize my thoughts and clarify the areas in which I most needed to improve. My mentor also pointed out for me the key areas that need improvement. Therefore, as I look forward to a professional career as a teacher, I will be able to draw on these early experiences. I will remember what works
LANDFORMS Barrier island beaches generally develop where: a The coast is composed of hard rock b the nearby land has a rugged topography of hills and mountains c the sea floor deepens rapidly offshore d The sea floor remains shallow for a long distance offshore During storms in winter: a There is a higher percentage of fine-grained sand on beaches b More erosion occurs in bays than on headlands c Beaches are eroded d Beaches are
ASEAN The study will be delving into: What ASEAN constitutes and what remains beyond its scope? The aim of this study will be handing out a wide-ranging presentation of the present stance of ASEAN and its accomplishments till date, along with its challenges. The paper is intended as a suggestion for a master-plan that can be employed as a future pathway where ASEAN political-security support must be going towards in
Both, ironically, are forms of pressure that also cause heat and changes. Water for instance, is so abundant on earth that it drives much of weathering and erosion. Precipitation, acidic soil water and groundwater dissolve mineral and rocks; serpentinization from heated seawater causes destruction of volcanic rock or changes in other seabed rocks; and the presence of water and carbon dioxide change rock as well. This is the manner
