Your blog sparkklingthoughts is wonderful indeed, and your posts are really thought-provoking and sparkling.✨
I have chosen the philosopher who laid the foundation of western philosophy with Socrates and Plato, the Ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle.
Aristotle, whose name means “the best purpose”.
Aristotle (c. 384 B.C. to 322 B.C.) was a philosopher and scientist who is still considered one of the greatest thinkers in politics, psychology, and ethics. At the age of 17, he enrolled in the renowned Plato’s Academy, and for twenty years he studied with Plato. In 338, he began tutoring Alexander the Great. In 335, Aristotle founded his own school, the Lyceum, in Athens, where he spent most of the rest of his life studying, teaching and writing. Some of his most notable works include Nichomachean Ethics, Politics, Metaphysics, Poetics and Prior Analytics.

Some of my favorite quotes:
What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies.
Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
RULES
1 Choose the author or philosopher (it should be one from the Ancient Time). Don’t know anyone? Google it. It shouldn’t be so hard.
2 Choose 3 quotes from this author/philosopher. The country of origin – doesn’t matter (Egypt, Greece… Italy). Add any info or explanation if you like.
3 Share those quotes and nominate 3 to 6 people. (Oops, that’s not obligatory)
4 The title of the post? Choose something cool. I know you are smart enough.
I am tagging you, dear friend! 🙂 (No obligation though)
Greetings Everyone!!! This is my day three the last day for the Lyrics challenge Tisha tagged me for this.
Thanks so much, Tisha for tagging me for this challenge, it is really interesting and I am enjoying my favorite songs. Today I chose a prayer, which connects me to the God, the one which is in us. This also reminds me my school days it was a part of our daily assembly. Again I have not seen this movie or maybe I don’t really remember it. but
For next three days, I will try to share my three favorites from a different genre of songs.
Rules:
Thank the person who nominated you.
Post one quote (song lyric) each day for three days.
Nominate three people.
My third song lyrics go here:
This reminds me of my school days, it was part of our prayer for assembly.
Itani shakti hamen dena daata
Man ka wishwaas kamajor ho na
Ham chale nek raste pe hamase
Bhulakar bhi koi bhul ho na
Dur ajnjaan ke ho andhere
Tu hamen jnjaan ki roshani de
Har buraai se bachate rahen ham
Jitani bhi de bhali jindagi de
Bair ho na kisi ka kisi se
Bhaawana man men badale ki ho na
Ham na sochen hamen kya mila hai
Ham ye soche kiya kya hai arpan
Ful khushiyon ke baante sabhi ko
Sab ka jiwan hi ban jaae madhuban
Apani karuna ka jal tu baha ke
Kar de paawan har ek man ka kona
With translation:
itni shakti hume dena data man ka vishwas kamzor ho na hum chalen nek raste pe hamse bhoolkar bhi koi bhool ho na
give us so much strength, O Lord,
that the faith in our hearts never wavers.
may we walk the path of goodness
and we don’t make a mistake even accidentally.
door agyaan ke hon andhere tu hamein gyaan ki roshni de har buraai se bachte rahein hum jitni bhi de bhali zindagi de bair ho na kisi ka kisi se bhaawana man mein badle ki ho na
let the darkness of ignorance be away,
give us the light of knowledge..
let us be far from all bad things,
however much life you give us, it be good.
may there be no ill will between people,
and there be no feeling of revenge.
hum chalein nek raste pe hamse bhoolkar bhi koi bhool ho na itni shakti humein dena data man ka vishwas kamzor ho na
hum na sochein hamen kya mila hai hum yeh sochen kiya kya hai arpan phool khushiyon ke baanTein sabhi ko sabka jeevan hi ban jaaye madhuban apni karuna ka jal tu baha ke kar de paavan har ik man ka kona
may we never think what we have got,
but what is it that we have contributed.
let us give the flowers of happiness to all,
and everyone’s lives become a garden of sweetness,
you flow the water of your compassion,
and make every corner of the heart pious.
hum chalein nek raste pe humse bhoolkar bhi koi bhool ho na itni shakti hame dena data man ka vishwas kamzor ho na

Thanks so much, Tisha for tagging me for this challenge, it is really interesting and I am enjoying my favorite songs. I am struggling to find just one song, ahhh but I am taking one from many favorites. This one is also an old Hindi movie song, I have not seen the movie, but the song I love it.

Naam gum jaayegaa Chehara ye badal jayegaa Meri aavaaz hi pahachaan hai Gar yaad rahe
Naam gum jaayegaa Chehara ye badal jayegaa Meri aavaaz hi pahachaan hai Gar yaad rahe
Vaqt ke sitam kam hasi nahi Aaj hai yahaan kal kahi nahi Vaqt se bhare agar mil gaye kahi Meri aavaaz hi pahachaan hai Gar yaad rahe
Naam gum jaayegaa Chehara ye badal jayegaa Meri aavaaz hi pahachaan hai Gar yaad rahe
Jo guzar gai kal ki baat thi Umr to nahi ek aas thi Raat kaa silaa agar phir mile kahi
Meri aavaaz hi pahachaan hai Gar yaad rahe
Hoo naam gum jaayegaa Chehara ye badal jayegaa Meri aavaaz hi pahachaan hai Gar yaad rahe
Din dhale jahaan raat paas ho Zindagi ki raah unchi kar chalo Yaad aaye gar kabhi ji udaas ho Meri aavaaz hi pahachaan hai Gar yaad rahe
Hoo naam gum jaayegaa Chehara ye badal jayegaa Meri aavaaz hi pahachaan hai Gar yaad rahe.
Naam Gum Jayega, Chehra Ye Badal JayegaMy name will be lost, my face will changeMeri Aawaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai, Gar Yaad RaheMy voice is my identity, only if You can rememberNaam Gum Jayega, Chehra Ye Badal JayegaMy name will be lost, my face will changeMeri Aawaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai, Gar Yaad RaheMy voice is my identity, only if You can remember
Waqt Ke Sitam… Kam Haseen Nahi… The atrocities done by time are also beautiful Aaj Hai Yahaan… Kal Kahin Nahi… I’m here today, tomorrow who knows where Waqt Se Pare Agar… Mil Gaye Kahin… If I meet You someplace, distant from time Meri Aawaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai, Gar Yaad Rahe My voice is my identity, only if You can remember Ho… Naam Gum Jayega, Chehra Ye Badal Jayega My name will be lost, my face will change Meri Aawaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai, Gar Yaad Rahe My voice is my identity, only if You can remember Jo Guzar Gayi… Kal Ki Baat Thi… What has passed, is the past Ho… Umr To Nahi… Ek Aas Thi… It wasn’t life, it was just some kind of hope Raat Ka Sila Agar… Phir Mile Kahin… If I find such a night again Meri Aawaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai, Gar Yaad Rahe My voice is my identity, only if You can remember Naam Gum Jayega, Chehra Ye Badal Jayega My name will be lost, my face will change Meri Aawaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai, Gar Yaad Rahe My voice is my identity, only if You can remember Din Dhale Jahaan… Raat Paas Ho… Where the day sets, the night lives near that place Ho… Zindagi Ki Lau… Unchi Kar Chalo… Always hold the flame/torch of life high and move forwards Yaad Aaye Gar Kabhi… Ji Udaas Ho… Whenever I think about it, my heart feels sad Meri Aawaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai, Gar Yaad Rahe My voice is my identity, only if You can remember Naam Gum Jayega, Chehra Ye Badal Jayega My name will be lost, my face will change Meri Aawaaz Hi Pehchaan Hai, Gar Yaad Rahe My voice is my identity, only if You can remember
