Somebody stop me from blabbering

I seem to blabbering away in the past few weeks. I speak nonsense. Please somebody restrain me. I also seem to be doing a lot of showing off, which is very unlike me. What is happening to me? I must either be envious of something (of whom, I have no knowledge) or I must be walking down the wrong path. Somebody stop me.
I have got to learn to restrain from speaking much. Somebody help me learn this art. One person I can learn from is Mr. Pradeep B.N (the algorithm guru) but he has to talk to learn from him. So anybody else interested to help me, contact me.

Confused between inanimate and the animate, is God in love?

you are itching to reach the dizzy heights of perfection- it is just not possible to do so.
so, cool it and try to be normal- in fact, on the other hand,this behaviour can be taken as going towards normality.
In the end- become normal.

Gandhi's Talisman

I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man [woman] whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him [her]. Will he [she] gain anything by it? Will it restore him [her] to a control over his [her] own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to swaraj for the hungry and spiritually starving millions?
Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away.
