"Famous Writings Collections" - Part 47 compiled by Shri. Gopalkrishna Vaidyanathan Iyer (G.V. Iyer)
1) Faith must be enforced by reason. When faith becomes blind, it dies.
Meaning -
Believing in something should be based on good thinking and understanding.
If faith is just blindly following something without thinking about it, it loses its value and becomes meaningless.
2) Humans are like tea bags. They never realize their strength until they are put in hot water.
Meaning -
People often don't know how strong or capable they are until they face difficult situations.
It's like a tea bag; its strength comes out only when it's in hot water.
3) Discussion is an exchange of knowledge, argument is an exchange of ignorance.
Meaning -
When people talk to share ideas and learn from each other, it's a good thing.
But when people only want to win and prove the other person wrong, it's not helpful and shows a lack of understanding.
4) Joke: Ramachandra kahe gaye Sita se, Aisa bhi Kalyug aayega,
October mein baarish hogi aur Raavan jal nahi payega. Happy Dussehra.
Meaning -
This is a humorous twist on the Hindu mythological story of Rama and Ravana.
It's saying, in a playful way, that the world has changed so much that it's like a new age (Kalyug) where it rains in October (unusual) and even Ravana (the villain) can't burn (a reference to Dussehra celebrations).
5) The highest type of efficiency is that which can utilize exciting material to the best advantage.
Meaning -
The best way to do something well is to use the most interesting and inspiring things in the smartest possible way.
