Today more and more people are realizing the sacredness of ordinary things. We speak
also of the "mysticism of the market-place." This book contains short articles
on science and spirituality meant for a general audience, who may or may not be
organisationally religious. They are meant to inspire a band of young men and women to
think deeply about themselves, leading to deeper insights and wisdom. Open-minded and
visionary, these articles are meant to touch the daily life of busy people who are fully
involved in the struggle and success of daily life. So, the articles are limited to 625
words. For better clarity and convenience, these articles are divided into nine
approximate and arbitrary sections:
* Global Citizenship
* Humans and Animals
* Mysticism and Spirituality
* Identity and Destiny
* Spirituality and Health
* Meaningful in Itself
* Spiritual Entrepreneurship
* Economy and Life
* Existence and Emotions
These articles attempt to enhance the vulnerable life we live in terms of reaching out
to others. It assumes that only when we can maintain the healthy tension between the
spiritual and material aspects of life, do we become more authentic. These articles
appeared in the "My Mind" Column of `Financial Chronicle' (www.mydigitalfc.com).
