Not only do you summarize one of Chaplin's movies - City Lights (and I do believe the flower girl was blind) - but you manage to weave in Chaplin's life story and why 'The Tramp' was created in the first place.
He came from nothing and became such an icon, all while showing the world that you did not have to lose your humanity in the process.
Thanks for joining me in celebrating Charlie Chaplin's 136th birthday with your tribute!
Yes, I agree. Fascist/autocratic/theocratic states in Russia and the USA will force Europe and Canada into a partnership that may benefit the world. May they be the light going forward.
Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.
Mother used to teach different ways of sadhana to different people. She would, however, give prominence to jnana marga, the path of Self-inquiry.
One of Her first devotees, after having received his first lessons, went to the Himalayas and on his return said, “I am He, who will practice and what?” When this reached Mother’s ears She sent for him and took him to task for trying to pass for a realized soul and thereby defraud people. Mother would never tolerate any of Her devotees trying to pass for a jnani and would at once expose them.
She used to say, “Nowadays sadhus read a few pages from the standard authors, commit to memory some verses, and with this stock-in-trade start a campaign for making disciples. There is no hope for such cheats.”
