NA BUDDHIBHEDAM JANAYED AJNAANAAM KARMASANGINAAM;JOSHAYET SARVA KARMAANI VIDWAAN YUKTAH SAMAACHARAN.(Krishna speaking to Arjuna)'Let no wise man unsettle the minds of ignorant people whoare attached to action; he should engage them in all actions,himself fulfilling them with devotion.'III.27. PRAKRITEH KRIYAMAANAANI GUNAIH KARMAANI SARVASHAH;AHAMKAARAVIMOODHAATMAA KARTAAHAM ITI MANYATE.'All actions are wrought in all cases by the qualities ofNature only. He whose mind is deluded by egoism thinks:"I am the doer".'COMMENTARY: Prakriti or Nature is that state in which thethree Gunas exist in a state of equilibrium. When this equilibriumis disturbed, creation begins and the body, senses and mind areformed. The man who is deluded by egoism identifies the Self withthe body, mind, the life-force and the senses, and ascribes to theSelf all the attributes of the body and the senses. In reality theGunas of nature perform all actions.

//////////////////Why do people persist in believing things that have been proved to be untrue? Social psychologist Carol Tavris, author of Anger and The Mismeasure of Woman, joins fellow social psychologist Elliot Aronson to answer this question in Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me): How We Justify Foolish Beliefs, Bad Decisions, and Hurtful Acts (Harcourt, 2007). The authors use cognitive dissonance theory to analyze issues and disputes in the worlds of politics, medical science, psychiatry, the criminal justice system and personal relationships. The theory can't explain everything, Tavris says, but it can shed light on a surprising number of issues.
//////////////////So a key conclusion according to the current view of string theory and inflationary theory is the fundamental nature of the universe is random. Although the universe seems to be remarkably the uniform everywhere as far as we can see, our leading theories currently suggest that the conditions we observe are actually very rare and unlikely phenomena in the universe entire. And I wonder what Einstein would have thought about that. I wonder if he would have found that idea that is, a theory of this type, to be acceptable. My own point of view is that we have to change one or both of these two key components of our understanding of the universe. We either have to dramatically revise them, or we have to overhaul them entirely, replace them with something that combines to make a powerful theory that really does explain, in a powerful way, why the universe is the way that it is.

One Well: The Story of Water on EarthBy Rochelle Strauss/Illustrated by Rosemary WoodsKids Can Press, 32 pages, $17.95 (ages 8 and up) The earth’s surface is nearly 70 percent water, so why do we need to conserve what we use? Rochelle Strauss tells us the answer in this elegant introduction to the world’s most vital natural resource. All water is part of one global well, and the living things that rely on it are interconnected; indeed, writes Strauss, “the water you drank today may have rained down on the Amazon rainforest five years ago.” Rosemary Woods’s rainbow-bold acrylic illustrations underscore the varied ways water sustains life. A savanna where zebras romp melds into a pond filled with flamingos, and an orchard dotted with red fruit blends with a beach where seals play. On another page a girl waters a lush garden while a farmer tends to a row of plump lettuce. One Well also highlights a glaring disparity: “While the amount of water on Earth is always the same, the distribution of water across the world isn’t . . . nearly one-fifth of the world’s population does not have access to enough water.” The author’s water factoids and water-saving tips are apt to quench any reader’s thirst.
