The best way to know the self is feeling oneself at the moments of reckoning. The feeling of being alone, just with your senses, may lead you to think more consciously. More and more of such moments may sensitize ‘you towards you’, towards others. We become regular with introspection and retrospection. We get ‘the’ gradual connect to the higher self we may name Spirituality or God or just a Humane Conscious. We tend to get a rhythm again in life. We need to learn the art of being lonely in crowd while being part of the crowd. A multitude of loneliness in mosaic of relations! One needs to feel it severally, with conscience, before making it a way of life. One needs to live several such lonely moments. One needs to live severallyalone.

WORDS OF COMPASSION AND OUTREACH BY THE WORLD'S MOST WELL KNOWN PHILANTHROPIST IN MY PART OF THE WORLD..

COLORES INFINITUM

He is the richest man in the world. His wealth is over US$ 80 billion.

He describes himself as 'sharing things I'm learning through my foundation work and other interests...' on his Twitter page.

His Twitter page for the month so far, June 2015, follows from previous months - a trend following humanitarian issues.

The feed, like it has been doing, talks about issues like education, environment, health, hunger, unemployment and malnutrition - issues affecting the populations worldwide.  

The Twitter feed goes like:

His Twitter handle is BillGates. Yes, he is Bill Gates or William Henry Gates III, the man behind Microsoft.

And the man behind 'Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation', the world's largest charity, with over US$ 42 billion in assets, much more than the total personal wealth of India's richest person Mukesh Ambani.

Well, my intention is not profiling him here. I am not going to talk about his business and his strategy around it. The world knows about it.

What caught my attention was his Twitter heed, words of compassion and outreach by the world's most well known philanthropist in my part of the world. And he intends to donate 95% of his wealth to charitable purposes. Well, we can imagine the scale then.

And with a person like him, we have reasons to believe in the mechanism to ensure delivery and transparency.

Sometimes, we do certain things in our random movements, like I caught up with his Twitter feed today. I follow him but before it, I had never looked at his feed in retrospective. Today, I had a comprehensive look. And I felt good in reading all that I could read.

Yes, it was not a chance discovery and I knew the philanthropist Bill Gates - 'as the world knows him'. But it made for a good reading today.
