In the philosophy of the Vedanta, matter is not an entity isolated from the realm of eternity, but is merely an appearance of the Eternal through space, time and causation. The activities of the material world are all consciously directed towards the fulfillment of the cosmic purpose of self-realisation. Matter is not an unwilling self, but a willing cooperator in the grand scheme of the cosmos. Matter appears to be an impediment when the Spirit is forgotten, but when one consciously and deliberately puts forth efforts towards the realisation of the Spirit in one's own self, one would discover that the material universe becomes a stepping stone in the process of this grand ascent.
A group of strict vegetarians have formed an association called Proveg. They protested recently against a famous and popular manufacturer on the issues of a chemical additive that goes into its toothpaste. The additive is dicalcium phosphate and apparently, the company obtains it from animal bones. Let me hasten to point out that I respect the right of this group to adopt and to propagate vegetarianism. I can also understand their sensibilities regarding animal bones, but I am afraid their concern may be misplaced. What they need to be reassured about this is that the dicalcium phosphate is free of any organic contaminant from animal tissues. If the manufacturer proves that this phosphate is pure, the matter should rest there. If, on the other hand, tests reveal that the material is contaminated with any organic material from the animal, Proveg would be justified in their worries and protests.
Sometimes as you change and learn, you might not make immediate progress, but if the fundamentals are correct you can rest assured that as you 'drill for skill' and start to own the procedure, your career will definitely move to new heights (and so will your personal life).
Contrary to the usual cinematography of his life, it was not a seamlessly unfolding panorama.
Recently, I had difficulty with one of my tyres, so I went to the tyre store to get it replaced. Much to my chagrin, the service attendant identified a small problem with another tyre, which indicated the front end was out of alignment. He explained that if I did not correct the alignment, I would soon be replacing yet another tyre. Needless to say, realigning the front end of my car cost money, but the investment actually saved me additional costs in the future. The attendant (salesperson) did not cause the problems; he simply identified the problem and offered a solution, (______) We do not create problems; we identify them and offer solutions through our goods and services.
In contrast to the early discoveries of exoplanets, we now find that less than 1 in 5 exoplanets are to be found very close to their stars, a few orbiting with a period of 5 to 50 days (______). This supports the idea that they are formed at Jupiter-like distances from their host star. Dependent on the details of the early solar system, most giant planets probably spiral inwards towards their star until they reach a point where a lack of frictional forces stops their further migration.
With the assault on New York, the anarchy that has been one of the by-products of globalisation in much of the world can no longer be ignored. The ragged, irregular armies of the world's most collapsed zones have proved that they can reach the heart of its richest and most powerful state. Their brutal coup is an example of what military analysts call 'asymmetric threat' in other words, the power of the weak against the strong.

The first lecture, the one that was supposed to explain what scientific thinking is about, was called 'The Uncertainty of Science' by Feynman. The uncertainty he had in mind was not that of Heisenberg, but rather that of Kari Popper: that scientists should be skeptical of their own theories, or in other words, have an open mind. As with most scientists who profess to follow Popper, he consistently refutes himself throughout his lectures.
To Feynman, science has three parts: the facts or body of knowledge, the method or process that we use to establish those facts, and the applications of science, that is to say, technology. To him it's an article of faith that technology follows science. He would regard technology arising on its own as something akin to the Virgin Birth.

If knowledge is one of our marks, we can hardly be dogmatic about the kind or the amount. However, if the framer of a curriculum wants to minimize his risks, _____________.
Which of the following completes the paragraph, most suitably?
A shrewd peasant was always protected well enough against impostors in the market place, and we have all sorts of businessmen who have made themselves excellent judges of phoniness without the benefit of a high-school diploma; but this kind of shrewdness goes along with a great deal of credulity. Outside the limited field within which experience has taught the peasant or the illiterate businessman his lessons, he is often hopelessly gullible.
