A touch of philosophy

"Pootukal potaalum veetukkul nirkadhu katru" - the melliflous voice of S. Janaki fills through my headphones.
This line translated to English conveys the meaning that 'even if you put a lock, the air would not stay within the house'.
This line knocked my philosophical bent of mind and made me realise the hidden meaning - an important ingredient of life- determination of the mind.
What the mind can believe and conceive, it tends to achieve it. It is the power of detrmination that sets one on focus onto something and concentrate and divert all efforts towards achieving one's vision. Thereby, the mind does not see obstacles but opportunities to achieve the goal.
