What's the difference between you and me?

I found this picture this afternoon on a website. How cute is it!??!? It is adorable! It made me think of how beautiful/strange all creatures are including us human beings. This picture just makes me think are us humans really that different to animals? I mean I know there is a lot of different but all in all, we live on the same planet, we have families, we have a home, we breathe, we move.... It's pretty cute how the sea cow is looking at the little girl probably thinking how weird creatures we are! And we do the same to them... :)

  6. Dear Mari!
    it is so interesting: you share your mind about important subject but most people offer you to follow each other and etc. How people became selfish (and i am one of them).They talk just about their interests and do not want to listen and understan your feelings...
    You know,Mari,i completely stupid in make up and etc and i would like to say something about difference between human beings and animals.
    Last 10 years i study Eastern Vedas,very old deep scriptures about all types of knowledge and i would like to say that there is just one difference- material body and level of intelligence. Animals eat,sleep,have sex and protect themself and if human beings do same and anything else they are also animals who like slaves of their 5 senses. Indeed any living entity is eternal a soul,spiritual part of Supreme God and especially just people can realise God and to get uncoditional love to others and to return back home,to Godhead.

  8. Once a man who was very powerful and strongly built but whose character was very doubtful fell in love with a beautiful girl. The girl was not only beautiful in appearance but also saintly in character,and as such she did not like the man's advances. The man, however,was insistent because of his lustful desires,and therefore the girl requested him to wait only seven days,and she set a time after that when he could meet her. The man agreed,and with high expectations he began waiting for the appointed time. The saintly girl,however,in order to manifest the real beauty of absolute truth,adopted a method very instructive. She took very strong doses of laxatives and purgatives,and for seven days she continually passed loose stool and vomited all that she ate. Moreover,she stored all the loose stool and vomit in suitable pots. As a result of purgatives the so-called beautiful girl became lean and thin like a skeleton,her complexion turned blackish,and her beautiful eyes sank into the sockets of her skull. Thus at the appointed hour she wanted anxiously to receive the eager man. The man appeared on the scene well dressed and well behaved and asked the ugly girl he found waiting there about the beautiful girl he was to meet.The man could not recognize the girl he saw as the same beautiful girl for whom he was asking;indeed.although she repeatedly asserted her identity,because of her pitiable condition he was unable to recognize her.
    At last the girl told the powerful man she had separated the ingredients of her beauty and stored them in pots. She also told him that he could enjoy those juices of beauty. When the mundane poetic asked to see these juices of beauty,he was directed to the store of loose stool and liquid vomit,which were emanating an unbearably bad smell. Thus the whole story of the beauty-liquid was disclosed to him. Finally,by the grace of the saintly girl,this man of low character was able to distinguish between the shadow and the substance,and thus he came to his senses. This man's position was similar to the position of everyone of us who is attracted by false,material beauty. The girl mentioned above had a beautifully developed material body in accordance with the desires of her mind. She was in fact a spiritual spark,and so also was the lover who was attracted by her false skin.
    Mundane intellectuals and aesthetics,however,are deluded by the outward beauty and attraction of the relative truth and are unaware of the spiritual spark,which is both truth and beauty at the same time.The spiritual spark is so beautiful that when it leaves the so-called beautiful body,which in fact is full of stool and vomit,no one wants to touch that body,even if it is decorated with a costly costume. We are all pursuing a false,relative truth ,which is incompatible with real beauty. The actual truth,however,is permanently beautiful,retaining the same standard of beauty for innumerable years. That spiritual spark is indestructible. The beauty of the outer skin can be destroyed in only a few hours merely by a dose of a strong purgative ,but the beauty of truth is indestructible and always the same. Unfortunately, mundane artists and intellectuals are ignorant of this beautiful spark of spirit. They are also ignorant of the whole fire which is the source of these spiritual sparks,and they are ignorant of the relationships between the sparks and the fire,which take the form of transcendental pastimes. When those pastimes are displayed here by the grace of the Almighty,foolish people who can not see beyond their senses confuse those pastimes of truth and beauty with the manifestations of loose stool and vomit described above. Thus in despair they ask how truth and beauty can be accommodated at the same time.
