I have this beautiful solid wood measuring 12.5 x 13.5 marquetry piece of art that is titled "The Sheriff", dated 1944. It also list the 9 veneers used & the 9 countries from which they originated, any idea who the artisan might be?

When your mind passes beyond the maze of delusion, then you will become indifferent to what has been heard and what is yet to be heard.

You will reach this state, when you will get rid of delusion and make room for dispassion in your mind . Then you will attain spotless and deep knowledge of the self and your mind will become desireless of its own accord. Then O Arjuna, you desire for more and more knowledge or the need to remember to your former knowledge will come to an end.

Is Lord Krishna saying whatever felt by senses mere delusions? hence untruths and sins ?

If I were to write a screenplay with action sequences in it (ie. a car chase), should I just put [insert car chase here], or specify, or what? Can you give some examples, perhaps?

But what if something bad would happen to many others, apart from your loved ones/those most important to you, if you did sacrifice yourself? But what if you let all those dear and important to you die, and it would save many others? How would you solve such a dilemma? And what if everyone that would be effected by your decision knew exactly what you were doing, were watching your every move and were practically standing right beside you? Would that have an influence on your decision, versing if they were oblivious that you had to make such a choice and had no idea?

Wise men, possessed of knowledge, by giving up the fruit of actions, are freed from the bonds of birth and reach the abode beyond evil.

Even if the wise men perform actions, they are not affected by their results; and

so they escape the vexations of death and rebirth. When, O Arjuna, they become endowed with buddhiyoga, they attain to the eternal state of bliss.

What is it called when you include a short passage before the beginning of a paper.. for example a quotation that has to do with your topic. And how do you cite it? Can it be smaller then the rest of the text?

im doing a skit with 3 other people for my theatre class,.
its difficult because we cant use any props. We have to use "invisible props" and its preety hard to manage those, esp because they're not really there.
also, we have to make it clear what we are eating. (ie: spagghetti, wine ect.)

i need suggestions on:
1. how to ACT when at the dinner-table,
2. how to manage "invisible" props, what items of food to choose, what drinks,
3. and little details to avoid that might throw people in the audience off.

Thanks! :]

It doesn't matter whether it is Muslim monument or Hindu temple, as an Indian we give due respect to both, but the question is that, from years the history of India which is considered to be Precious is clouded with controversies and doubts in case of Taj Mahal, this should be cleared, It is we public who can a raise a voice to know the truth. Doing so we can prove to the World that may whatsoever is the controversy Indians are always with the Truth. The person who has actually built Taj Mahal should be given the fame of it, wholey and solely.

I've never read any, but I would remember the title if someone comes up with it. i'm not even sure what it is about but im sure it is factual and pretty sure it is released anually.. please just throw any possible answer at this cos it is really annoying me ... thanks. p.s. I think it is possibly produced by a company, and has the company name in the title.. but I might be wrong.
