North Korea has launched a newly built "tactical nuclear attack submarine" during a ceremony attended by the country's leader Kim Jong-un. The submarine, named "Hero Kim Kun Ok" is the first of its kind and would "perform its combat mission as one of the core underwater offensives means of the naval force," said state newswire KCNA on Friday, heralding a "new chapter" for the Navy. Kim, who wore a beige suit and matching panama hat for the ceremony at the east coast Sinpho shipyard, told officers the rapid development of the naval force was the "top priority" for national defence to meet geopolitical challenges, as well as "recent aggressive attempts by the enemies." Stressing there was "no room to step back," he urged the swift transfer of "underwater and surface vessels equipped with tactical nuclear weapons" to the Navy. The authoritarian leader boasted that the new vessel was capable of "both preemptive and retaliatory strike," and experts told NK News it can likely carry nuclear submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBMs) and smaller missiles. It "can carry a combination of SLBMs and cruise missiles, both equipped with nuclear warheads," said Tal Inbar, an Israel-based missile researcher. The submarine was unveiled as North Korea gears up to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the country's founding on Saturday, which is expected to be marked with a military parade in Pyongyang, attended by a high-level Chinese delegation. Last weekend, Pyongyang staged a "simulated tactical nuclear attack" drill with mock atomic warheads attached to two long-range cruise missiles that were test-fired into the ocean. KCNA said the exercise was to warn enemies of the "actual nuclear war danger" in response to joint military drills by the United States and South Korea. The allies said their live-fire exercises were based on a counterattack against invading forces, stressing their activities are defensive in nature, but Pyongyang has accused Seoul and Washington of escalating tensions in the region. Last month, the US, South Korea and Japan pledged to step up their military cooperation and leaders' summits. This week, US officials warned Kim may travel to Russia to meet with President Vladimir Putin to seek help with advanced technology for satellites and nuclear-powered submarines, in exchange for offering him access to North Korea's stocks of artillery shells for his Ukraine war.

Osho Quotes on Meditation

Osho Quotes on Meditation If tea-drinking can become a meditation, then anything can become a meditation — cooking or washing your clothes, any activity can be transformed into meditation. And the real sannyasin, the real seeker, will transform all his acts into meditation. Only then, when meditation spreads over all your life, not only when you are awake in the day — slowly slowly it starts penetrating and permeating your being in sleep too — when it becomes just part of you, like breathing, like your heartbeat, then, only, have you attained to the discipline, to the essential discipline of Zen. Meditation means: drop all thoughts, drop all ideologies, drop all knowledge. Drop the mind itself. The mind is constantly talking. If the inner talk can drop even for a single moment you will be able to have a glimpse of no-mind. That’s what meditation is all about. The state of no-mind is the right state. It is your state. Millions of people miss meditation because meditation has taken on...

Osho on Witnessing technique

Osho on Witnessing technique – You can witness breathing, you can witness the thought process in OSHO INSIGHTS ON MEDITATION Osho – Societies will come and go. You will take birth and you will die and many lives will come and go, and many, many clouds will pass through you. But the inner sky – AKSHAT – remains uncorrupted, virgin. But you can become identified with clouds. You can begin to feel that ”I am the clouds”. Everyone is identified with his own thoughts which are nothing more than clouds. You say, ”my thought,” and if someone attacks your thought, you never feel that your thought is being attacked – you are being attacked. The sky is fighting – fighting for clouds because some cloud has been attacked. The sky feels, ”I am attacked!” The sky was there when there was no cloud, the sky will be there when there is no cloud. Clouds add nothing to the sky. And when clouds are no more, nothing is lost. The sky remains itself totally. This is the nature – the inner sky, the inn...
