Part 3 Fusion of science and spirituality
17
People who are unable to understand perfectly both scripture and science far outnumber those who do understand them perfectly. The former glancing superficially through the scriptures, could easily arrogate to themselves the authority to decide upon every question of physics on the strength of some word which they have misunderstood, and which was consciously employed by the sacred authors for some different purpose. And the smaller number of understanding men could not dam up the furious torrent of such people. These people would gain the most followers, simply because it is much more pleasant to gain a reputation for wisdom without effort or study, than to consume oneself tirelessly in the most laborious disciplines.
18
To sense that behind everything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly: that is religiousness. In this sense… I am a devoutly religious man.
A religion is a system of symbols, which acts to establish powerful, pervasive, and long-lasting moods in men by formulating conceptions of a general order of existence and clothing those conceptions with such and aura of factuality that the moods and motivations seem uniquely realistic.
We see what we want to see!
‘Faith’ is interpreted as being similar to ‘having working hypothesis’.
It is a dangerous act of self-delusion if one attempts to get rid of an unpleasant moral obligation, by claiming the human action is the inevitable result of an inexorable law of nature.
Since we are totally connected with everything and every creature in this universe, it is most foolish for each of us to strive to better ourselves without regard to what happens to others.
20
The purpose of journey on this precious Earth is now to align our personalities with our souls. It is to create harmony, cooperation, sharing, and reverence for life. It is to grow spiritually. This is our new evolutionary pathway.
Genes do not control life. It is the environment, and more specifically, our perception of the environment that controls gene activity. In the end, it comes down to a simple case of mind over matter in controlling the fate of our lives.
There are very dark forces trying hard to manipulate us into negativity.
One can live and work in this world as an awakened professional.
This chapter 20 also sheds light on how status quo of our own inner lives harms us. We denounce wisdom of others when it does not fit into our emotional framework. We choose to agree only with opinions of others who share our personal values and feelings...In this state of ignorance, we become subservient, we are at the mercy of the popular status quo.
21
Chapter 21 is more about Baruch Spinoza a Dutch philosopher and Hindu Vedaanta philosophy.
Reality is perfection. If circumstances are seen as unfortunate, it is only because of our inadequate conception of reality. …. The world as it exists look imperfect only because of our limited perception.
22
The deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, form my idea of God.
24
Where your talents and the needs of the world cross, there lies your purpose.

The deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, form my idea of God.
- Albert Einstein
In daily life, we can reliably apply spiritual action at four levels - obedience, belief, understanding and knowledge. Each individual ... favour one specific level...based on his/her relative stage of spiritual practice.
1. Obedience as a type of spiritual action, is the relationship between word and action.
2. Beliefs are conclusions that we accept about our world. Our beliefs significantly comprises our sense of reality, ....how we perceive and feel about our world. ... They predispose us to expectations about outcome. When we imbibe beliefs in goodness... it gives us our trust and faith.
3. Understanding ...the mental seeing that results from the spiritual process of understanding.....
4. Knowledge Spiritual Knowledge expands and evolves as we identify with our spiritual principles, understand them, embody them, and allow them to be infinite.
Understanding and experience can work together to form knowledge.
23
Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you cannot help them, at least do not hurt them.

God sleeps in the minerals, awakens in plants, walks in animals and thinks in man.

Transcendence
My Spiritual Experiences with Pramukh Swamiji
by A.P.J. Abdul Kalam
with Arun Tiwari.
This is not a book review.
This article is just like
'key take away points' for me.
The book is divided in 4 parts. This article covers 1st part of the book.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part 1 Experiencing the presence
Tolerance of others' view and opinions is essential in building teams and accomplishing tasks that are beyond the individuals' capacities.
1.
Srimad Bhagavad Gita defines renunciation in a unique way: "One must renounce not the performance of deeds, but renounce the desire for the fruits of those actions."
2.
When things go smoothly and fall into place, you have most likely made the right choices so that the right event could come into your life. When your decisions of efforts encounter resistance or roadblocks, seriously re-examine the choices you have made.
"Who I really am".... can only be revealed when the mind is quiet and no longer telling me who I am. When all the preconceptions about myself are stilled, what remains is who I really am: consciousness, awareness, stillness, presence, peace, love, and the Divine. You are that which is nameless and yet has been given a thousand names.
3.
Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.
When you go to a place of worships, you pray for peace and prosperity, not only for yourself but also for everyone around you.
Sulah meaning peace and peacemaking in Arabic.
Sulah is also the root of the word Islah denoting development and improvement.
4.
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men
The empires of the future are the empires of the mind. Dream, dream, dream. Dreaming leads to thoughts. Thoughts lead to action.
"How can you mix spirituality and social service?"
Pramukh Swamiji asks, "How can you separate the two?"
5.
Success can only come to you by courageous devotion to the task in front of you... You will be remembered for creating the one page in the history of the nation - whether it is the page of invention, innovation, discovery or fighting injustice.
6.
The wise discipline themselves, the unwise discipline others
As long as there is the pull of gravity whatever you throw up is always going to come down. But once a rocket is out of the attraction of the Earth's gravity, it will not fall back and will escape into space. Likewise, as long as we are attracted and attached to
- the comforts of this body
- desires of the mind and
- the material world,
we are consigned to the cycle of births and deaths. There will be no escape. But as your wordly desires decreases, you transcend the pull of the world and eventually you connect to God.

Distributed Tracing FAQ
** Is tracing only for request-response pair? How tracing happens for
indication where response is not expected.
Zipkin
This is: One-way RPC Tracing. One-way is the same as normal RPC
tracing, except there is no response anticipated.
In normal RPC tracing 4 annotations are used: “cs” “sr” (request) then
“ss” “cr” (response). In one-way tracing, the first two are used “cs” “sr” as
there is no response returned to the caller.
So, the client adds “cs” to a span and reports it to zipkin. Then, the
server adds “sr” to the same span and reports it. Neither side add
Span.timestamp or duration because neither side know both when the span started
and finished.
CS = Client Send
SR = Server Receive
SS = Server Sent
CR = Client Receive
They are annotations for spans in Zipkin format
Jaeger
For asynchronous messaging communications: “span.kind” tag values are:
Producer and Consumer
For synchronous RPC communications: “span.kind” tag values are: Client
and Server
The span.kind=server tag denotes an entry span, e.g. a span created in
the local code in response to an external request. Likewise, span.kind=client
denotes an exit span, e.g. a call made from the local code to another server.
** At ‘Istio service mesh’, does ‘Envoy sidecar proxy’ add ‘B3 headers’
for incoming message or outgoing message,
For incoming message.
** What if some of the microservices use Zipkin format and new
microservices use Jaeger format at K8s cluster?
Jaeger provides backward compatibility. So, just need to route ‘Zipkin
format data’ from ‘legacy services’ to ‘Jaeger backend’ using ‘zipkin
collector’
Backwards compatibility with Zipkin
Although we recommend instrumenting applications with OpenTracing API and
binding to Jaeger client libraries to benefit from advanced features not
available elsewhere, if your organization has already invested in the
instrumentation using Zipkin libraries, you do not have to rewrite all that
code. Jaeger provides backwards compatibility with Zipkin by accepting spans in
Zipkin formats (Thrift or JSON v1/v2) over HTTP. Switching from Zipkin backend
is just a matter of routing the traffic from Zipkin libraries to the Jaeger
backend.
** The ‘Envoy sidecar proxy’ at ‘Istio Service Mesh’ sends collected
span data (JSON format) to Jaeger Collector. It it for incoming message or
outgoing message?
The ‘Envoy sidecar proxy’ sends a single span (JSON format), asynchronously,
anytime, after receiving response for the request which was originated by
application.
** Can we bypass Jaeger Agent?
Yes for C++ Jaeger ClientLib.
** Can Jaeger Collector work on UDP?
No.
** How to use Baggage in Jaeger headers?
Key: uberctx-{baggage-key}
Value: url-encoded string
** How to use Baggage in Zipkin B3 header?
baggage-:
The support is only for Java and Go languages
** What is thrift
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_Thrift. It is for RPC with format
like: JSON, Binary etc.
** what is TChannel?
It is a protocol over TCP for RPC
** Does Zipkin supports binary/compress format?
Zipkin can work on TChannel. It also supports compact Thrift format.
However, Jaeger is better as being CNCF project.
** TChannel, Thrift, or its combination, which one is better?
Now, Jaeger collector supports gRPC as well. gRPC can be even better
choice.
** Wild card query is supported at Jaeger UI?
No, due to limitations of other storage implementations. However, one
can use Kibana + Elastic Search for the same.
