A good website for Subhashitaas

http://subhashitani.wordsofwisdom.in/ This is another wonderful website where I found a wonderful Subhashita, clarifying what it means to have association with virtuous people. This is the subhashitha I found there.. आन्द्रेन्धनमप्यनले शुष्कं पूर्वं ततो ज्वलति     एवं सज्जन सविधे पूर्वं लोभार्द्रता विशुष्य ततः । विषयाभिग्रस्तानां अन्तस्था कामरोष सहिता या     ज्वलति च विवेकवह्नौ साऽपी ज्वलति प्रकृष्ट सुखमन्ते ॥ - सूक्तिमुक्तावली Even when the fuel is wet, it will dry as soon as you put in fire and get burnt as it is meant to. Kinship with virtuous people is also like that. Even when people are drenched(wet) with greed, they will lose their lust and anger in the fire of knowledge. Along with that they will lose their greed also and find happiness. - Suktimuktavali Regards,

What is living?

What is living?   Life as we know is when the Lord is associated with us, then we are with life. But what is living? What does it mean to live?   Is it the hours that we spend breathing? working? awake? What is it?? Regards Ashok
