New Year Revolution !

Most of us are waiting for New Year to have more beautiful life .

On End day of current Year & in starting weeks of each year , I always promise many thing with myself.

I take oath that I will change my habits(Whatever I feel Bad about me :)).

This happen every year .

Each year I promise that I will be more active , will achieve something worth full.

And all this is lost , In the end of year I am at the same place where I was at start :(  .

As far as I remember , I only have fulfilled only 2-3 promise with me from last many years .

Somewhere , there is a lack of will power , lack of determination .

Each Promise start with full energy , with full motivation , but actually lost after short time(varies from days to week usually) .

Something is missing there , I do not know why it happen ?
The process repeat again & again , each year .

I will not say that I hope this year this will not happen , I will be determined for that not to be happen.

At least for this year the situation will not come.

I feel being open to public will keep me doing what I want .

At last wishing each of my friend to have a Great Happy New year !

The Monkey King

 

Sometime back there was a revolution in Jungle .From the ancient time , all the animal were hearing that the Lion is the king, Lion is the King of Jungle. So They decide that Other should also get a chance to Rule .They want Democracy to come in Jungle .

Meeting started & many of them nominated for Being a King by there supporters.

Finally it was decided by the voting that Monkey will be the new King of Jungle.

The Lion has Left the post .The ceremony was held & the monkey became the new King.

Every animal was happy, as the Democracy came.

Time was passing slowly --

-------------------------------------

One Day the Lion captured a Goat child, & was pulling him toward his caves.

The Goat was afraid; the goat rushed to his new King, and prays, "My Lord Save my child”.

The Monkey started looking here & there.

The Goat again says, My Lord, please save my child.

The monkey started running fast near the lion caves, up and down on the tree from one branch to another.

After some time the Goat again urge, my Lord what are you doing, plz, plzzz save my child.

The Monkey says “ is there any issue in my effort, you are putting a question on me?”.

The Goat says, no My Lord , you are our King , you should save my child !

The Monkey Became angry & says ,"listen , is there any problem in our effort, I am doing my best effort to save your child , If after that your baby can not be saved what can I do ?"

The issue with the goat is that she thinks a monkey can save her from Lion? Many times it happen we play the Role of monkey doing things with less capability, Many times we are in place of Goat expecting the Monkey to save us from Lion.

The Question is not that what a Lion should do? Question is if a Monkey will be the king what will happen?

For Ruling the Jungle, a monkey should have capability like a Lion, while in case of goat she should analyze to whom it was urging.

To solve any problem, the capability is required.

Other important issue is that we are seeking help , it should be understood first that A monkey can never fight from Lion :).

Double Standard

You will always meet the people , who complain about there boss ,there company , the current system etc .

In corporate , people feels like there management treat them as a resource , as a productive tool to whom they do not care , to whom they want to extract as much they can .

In simple word they feel that for management /company they are only the resource like machine, not as living being ,who has his own identity and there ultimate goal is to utilize them .

People feels like they are being ruled & not well treated .

Its the case with in general life also , like go to a police station,railway booking office, go to a government office for your work ,or go to an outstation ,many feels that each one is trying to realize you that you are inferior than them until unless they have to take money from you .

Going more general , People are driving on the road , the different segment of commuters who travels by BUS ,Car ,Bikes ,Auto etc always abuse other is responsible for traffic violation & accident always occur because of negligence of others .

Even most of them have gone through the each stage, in different time ,they all complain.

Once there living standard change , they think that there lower or upper class is responsible for the problem , they never think that they are the part of the same system , and some time cause of the problem also ,to which they are abusing .

As a social person we are always in a class ,some are above us while some are below us . We are the worker for some , giving services to them  , while some are worker for us who is giving service to us.

If we are complaining to the people we should  also think , how we treat  others who are below us ,to whom we never think that they are human being.

If we are feels other as objects to whom we are using ,then thinking of others is also justifiable .

Thoughts , Thinking and Worry

 

Most of us feel that some thing is missing from there life.

But no one dare to think ,what is the problem beneath ,They just want to cover it ,Want to wrap it in some dark cover so that it should be invisible .

For a short moment this technique work but in long run it never succeed .Again after some time the same problem came in front of us in some different form.

Actually no one want to think about this because if they try to think they are in trap of Worry & once the Worry start it goes to long time . Due to Worry , there is more disturbance in life than earlier , So people always want to skip the process .

They feel  once they start thinking they are in much problem , so why to think ?

Then there are people who tell , Follow them , & be free from worry .

They tell us , do not think go and enjoy life , we will think for you ,you have to enjoy , you are here to enjoy ,you just earn , pay them & they will do the rest for you ,They promise to make you free from worry .That is all insurance companies will advise you . They promise to secure your future .

Again the Saints , & Preachers , Self proclaimed Godman , will promise you to follow them ,”If you will follow them they will make your future joy-able , as well as your future afterlife also joy- able ”

How funny the things are , one side is materialistic ,   who claim to make your future wealthy , The other is going one step ahead , giving you guarantee for your after death life(No one is sure if there  any ?)

Most interesting is that , each of them laugh on other ,saying that other is fool .

They will never tell you , here are the option , select any one if you want , if you do not want , do not select ,There may be other option , but they never say like this , because being other option means there is Scope to think , & once you start think , its a danger for them .

So they will project in front of you like that if you will think , you will worry , do not think  ,do not worry .

But the people who never think is also worried .

The missing part is that we never differentiate the Worry & Thinking .We think both are same .

When the thoughts are constructive , It focus to Thinking , it result in construction , it comes  out as creativity .

But if the thoughts turn to negative direction , it became burden , it became destructive & harmful .It became worry .

The difference line is very thin ,Deep Thinking  will result in “Joy”  if it is positive , and result in “Tension” if negative .

Being afraid of Tension , One should not stop the thinking .

Its like that , being afraid of Aircraft accident , we always travel in bullock cart , because bullock cart is having less life threat .

Because there is thinking , therefore the  so much progress .

Being afraid from worry , we escape the thinking process , and there are people to help us in this , who says that yes you are right , do not think , just follow .

3 Hour Inspiration

 

Many times it happen , we are inspired by the things or events . We see some movie or read some news , or meet a person & then we think ,  Yes that is what we always have been thinking ! He is saying right . We should act like his advice or behave like that only.

Again some time later in the life that we see the opposite things and feel , this time what the person is saying is also right previous one was wrong , & we think that we should follow that .

Either or not we think to follow but we are inspired by that .

let us take a example , of  the movie “ Three Idiotos “ .

When the movie start , the professor(Boman Irani) came & tell so many things about the life , so much hard sentence & suddenly viewers think that yes he is saying right , life is race , when he proves the example by the Birds egg , then most of us think that life is race , & we should be winner . He was saying right . He proved the so much know theory of Darwin , “survival of the best “ . It tell that we should do all things wrong or right .

Again after some time , the plots change & Aamir khan change whole view , He emphasized that  life is not a race , it is not becoming the first or second , it is in being best what you can do .Finally user agree with him also .

I am not favoring any one here , and will not try to justify who is Wrong & who is Right.

Just Think , Only in three hour drama(3 hour of real life) , & so much change in thoughts . If the character on the screen can change our emotion , our thoughts in small time , then how we are being affected by the people/environment  around us .

Coming  next , Initially people thinks that something is right , after some event they think that some other thing is right?

This happen because we see only one part at a time , we compare both the thing with logic , & Logic is always true or false , & therefore we are agree with one thing & after some time with other.

If at a given time , we can see both the people arguing , both the person discussing then its quite possible that we can get better decision .

But the issue is that if wee see both  together than how the drama will continue?

The same things happen in the real life also .We feel & follow what we hear & see . So when some one says that we should company the good environment , good people (Here good may differ for every one), it has some genuine reason ,because your company decides your thoughts  .And your thoughts decide your destiny when followed by the  Action .

Marx Poem

Read some where the Hindi translation of very interesting poem of Marx .So many year back I have read the poem in a hindi magazine but every time when I read it I feel it is new & inspire me always.

I am not a communist or supporter of Marx but his view of thinking is amazing .I like this poem most thats why posting it here .

कठिनाइयों से रीता जीवन
मेरे लिए नहीं,
नहीं, मेरे तूफानी मन को यह स्‍वीकार नहीं।
मुझे तो चाहिए एक महान ऊंचा लक्ष्‍य
और उसके लिए उम्र भर संघर्षों का अटूट क्रम।
ओ कला! तू खोल
मानवता की धरोहर, अपने अमूल्‍य कोषों के द्वार
मेरे लिए खोल!
अपनी प्रज्ञा और संवेगों के आलिंगन में
अखिल विश्‍व को बांध लूंगा मैं!
आओ,
हम बीहड़ और कठिन सुदूर यात्रा पर चलें
आओ, क्‍योंकि -
छिछला, निरुद्देश्‍य और लक्ष्‍यहीन जीवन
हमें स्‍वीकार नहीं।
हम, ऊंघते कलम घिसते हुए
उत्‍पीड़न और लाचारी में नहीं जियेंगे।
हम - आकांक्षा, आक्रोश, आवेग, और
अभिमान में जियेंगे!
असली इन्‍सान की तरह जियेंगे

Making Yourself Free

Not most , but at least few of us will be fond of horse riding. Who have not enjoyed it will have seen it surely.

Just come to rural area , there are horse cart , In that cart at least 10 to 12  people can have seat , & interesting thing is that  the horse can pull all them .

Consider a case , if the cart is removed and some one says that horse should carry all passenger on his back?Is it possible ?

You can say i am talking like a fool .How it is possible , A horse can take 1 or max 2 person .

You can say that since there is cart so it it cart which is helping the horse ,but who is the puller ?

In both the cases , the Horse is doing the work ,but in second case the efficiency is many time , The sole reason is here the cart,cart separate out the problem with actor .

In first case all the load is carried out by the Actor , while in the second Load is carried out by the Cart & actor is pulling the cart .The small change make all the difference

When we are solving a problem , we have two approach , Either separate out your self from the problem & then solve it else carry all the burden on your back .You can better think off what will be the outcome .

While doing any work , while in problem do not take all the burden on yourself that will simply going to kill you ,keep in mind that you need to give the direction & every one will be Happy :)

You should solve the problem , but you should not be the part of problem .Make yourself free for action , from burden & you can do best .Think that you ,are something different & you  will be the best in your view .

The Lost Smile

After going to the office ,everyday i saw the people of different different type , they are all together different but one thing is very common in all of them ,there faces are down ,there smile is lost ,they come to daily morning , but very rarely some one is smiling .

Just meet any one in the office very few , rarely some one is relaxed .

You can analyze the same thing. The only thing you required is when you are watching other , just watch , do not be biased , feel like they all are new & you are not the part of the same crowd.

Separate out yourself from them for a moment & then watch there behavior. They just come to office energy less , in tension , do start work & return with the same way .

Just try to find out is there any person who is calm ,who is full of joy , Who is relaxed .

It is extremely hard to find out such a person .

Again consider yourself the part of the same crowd , and think are you different from them any way .Is there any difference between them & you .

May be you should got some major difference , Some energy , some enthuse inside yourself .If you can not find just point out.

• When in the last time you laugh freely .When you feel that you was very very happy.
• When in last time you talked with your friend except Money ,Buying a house , abusing your company environment .
• When  see some people in the office , on the road ,laughing alone & you thinks that he is normal.
• Why we forget to laugh like the days of childhood /college.
• Why as we are growing the we are not happy with small things as we became in past days ,

You have to find the answer for these question for yourself .No help is required for this.

These small question if you can think will bring a  cute smile on your face ,and you will be more energetic ,more joyful  if you can recall your smile

Economics of survival : poorness of riches

In conversions people discuss about various issue  , No matter what it the topic , money is almost there .

A person goes to a economist & ask how he can be rich .The economist ask How much you spend for your expanses for survival , to complete your basic need . That poor man told him , he never thinks such kind of thing . He thinks that he is earning & when there is need , there is requirement he,  expand the money.Almost 80/90% of his income is needed to fulfill his requirement .

The economist told that look at me , I am expanding only 10% of my income for survival , until & unless you will not limit your expanse , & invest it how can you be rich .

I do not know many of you have heard the same thing or not , but the next few lines you have certainly heard somewhere .

Most of the people are disturb , most of them are in tension , show me a happy person , show me some calm person , who did not require anything , who say that he is satisfied . See the most rich person of the world , see the business tycoon , check about the celebrity or godman  , they all are in search of money , they are looking for peace , joy .

In the example they will name many individual,  they can ,who are famous in there field  ,They try to convince you that when they are not happy with there so much money  , how you can be .

But while telling this universal truth they forget the basic behind this , they hide a very simple thing that there is difference between the Rich & Poor people needs.

If a Rich person is in tension , he is fighting than it may be for leisure , it may be for power or it may be for name & fame , But the problem of a poor person is not for this , it is for the survival .

Once the problem of basic needs attached to a person , there are many things comes in the picture & than the whole scenario is changed .

Once the people are above the basic need , he can think & once he can think he can do, this all thing are related . A hungry belly can not create the ideas . Not to be confuse that I am saying that only Rich can do all things , but only this that if people are below that level of survival , it is extremely difficult to do something  .

Arise , Awake ( Shri Vivekananda)

Arise , awake & work till you aim is not achieved

or arise , & work till you can .

Both the sentence are quite similar , generally the meaning is almost same , but the only difference is awake .

While both focusing to do your best , one is telling to arise while other say that be you should also awake , you should not be in the state of sleep .

While we compare with others , we saw so many people , different different type of people , it feels some are doing worth full , meaningful in there life , while some are doing just repetition .

Repetition is sleep , but once we are awaken we know what we are doing .

If we are awaken we will follow our destiny , if we are not we will follow others .

Just go to a Mahatma , go to a Goodman or a politician , they all will say arise & work , fight for your right , fight for your survival or take sanyas to meet the God (fight with your inner feelings if you are not willing to do it)

The issue is not only doing your best , but also doing your best with direction .

One policeman was trying to catch a thief , who was running after taking valuable from a house .

Police man was doing his best , when he was about to catch the thief , the thief was afraid .

But the thief was very intelligent , he thinks for a moment . while running he asked to the Police man , why you are waiting your energy behind me , I am an racing champion , you will not be able to catch me .

The policeman became angry & told I am the best racer in my department , you can not escaped .

the thief argued little more & same the Policeman did .

In Between the thief challenged the Policeman to touch the Pole , some distance away .

The Policeman was very much confident & take the challenge , but when he saw back to announce his victory , he saw no one was there . Thief was left behind & enjoying with the valuable .

Being more capable ,more energetic than the thief , Policeman could not catch the him.

Because He changed his focus , the aim was changed by the thief easily because while running the Policeman forget why he was doing this , while the thief was awaken & was smiling .

There is lot of race in the life , & lot of thieves are here in the way who always try to change our destiny , Some time the thieves are internal (our habits ) while some time they are external , But overall the purpose of each is to change our aim .

Its up to us how we respond.

Mahabharata

Most of us has heard ,read or viewed the tells of Mahabharata, One of my teacher asked me are u know why the Pandavs wins the war & Kauravs loose it ?

Without waiting for a second I just answered that Pandavs are fighting for the religion ,they are with truth , While kauravs are opposite to it .

Kauravas are doing Adharma while Pandavs are with the Dharma , thats why they wins .Lord krishna was with Pandavas , favouring the dharma thats why the Pandavas wins .

He says let us think the thing with new sight .He said the basic behind the victory of Pandavs was that they have only one aim ,they all have only 1 taqrget, victory what was going behind this .

The Kauravas loose because they all have there different aim , the all were fighting but they  have there own target ,they are not collectively fighting for the victory , for example The great Bhisma has his own oath that he will force krishna to take his shastra (arms ).Bhishma himself told arjun how he can be killed.

Karna was having his own view , He knows that untill he is having his kavach kundal , no one can kill him , but for him his personal aim was high then to win the war .He caught others pandavs & left them free in the war because he wants to kill only Arjun .

While in other side , no Pandav is having his personal aim , they all are fighting for the victory , they all did what they could do best for victory from killing of Bhisma from behind of Shikandi to killing of Dronacharya by creating rumours of death of Ashwathama .

They all are united , so they wins .They are single aimed so they do what is required for that, either it will be creating rumors or forgetting the Oath by Sri krishna of not taking the arm(shashtra).

Simulate the story with our self in real life , some time we see our self that we can not solve that problem while after some time we easily solve that .

We have many senses (gyanendirya) , once they are united, they are single focused towards single aim the output comes as best .

But if we are having multiple aim at a single moment of time , we are divided from our aim & once we are divided we are defeated . No one can save us .

Ox & Horse

Long ago there was two animal  Horse &  Ox in a forest. They trapped in a empty Pit.Both tried to come out from the well .

OX was trying continuously from every side ,but he was not success .After many unsuccessful attempt the legs of the horse became injured .

While the Horse was little bit calm & clever .He looks each side of the pit & finally got one easy place to go out , tried the best & came out from the pit.

This happens every where around us , daily with our self & others also .Every time we caught in a problem  sometime we are able to solve it & sometime we are not .

While we saw some people always can find the solution for each problem (in other word they are able to manage with the problem) while some or not .

The core difference is only that who thinks over the problem , who analyze the problem , is able to overcome from it .Definitely that is not the case with others .

Outcome of life:

While talking with one of my friend, he told me something last day .

Most of the people  work ,do jobs  so that they there kids life can be smother & easier than them. They want to educate them(there kids) so that they can live a respected life , can earn for there livelihood & can complete his family needs .

Apart from these the basic thing people want a beautiful home in some good place,some good city where they can stay  & they hope that this will be the dream place for there next generation .They want to earn so that when they die they will left some money /property so that there kids can enjoy the life .

Come little in the past ,what a person wants to do for his kids , the same thing there parents did for them probably 2-3 decades ago .

If going more deeper , His grandparents do the same thing for his parent .

This thing is being continue from generation , We think that we should work hard & hard so that our next generation can enjoy.

If your grandfather manage to built a home in some remote village, then most probably your father may have build in some good location (a small city) and now you may be trying for  a home in some better city.

The core need remains the same , what they did in small level we are just trying on a big level.

Some may be unlucky , not getting the things from there parents .Any way , nothing can be true in case of each person .

Not to be confuse that I am telling that we should not work , the only thing we should consider that we should not do the same thing.

We should not only live in future , we need to analyze our present also. We need to explore our self what best we can do? We know what  we can not do , but we do know what we can do? The problem is with we are surrounded by the people who always tell what – we can not be , what we should not do ,but no one is telling you can be something .

And definitely they will not tell , we only have to do .

In Search of life :1

 

While reading the post many of you people will think that I am being an spiritual , some can relate me to philosophy & some can say that I am not seeing the Positive side of the life .

But I feel that I am not able to classify myself in these category so I started down writing what ever comes in mind,

-------------------------------------

 

For a normal people(which is most of us are)  we take birth , our parents teach us the basic about life , we study in college(not necessary for all) and then finally we continue to earn livelihood .Then we marry , have kids . And the same process start again .They do the same thing .

Most of the events are the same for a common people . My reference to common people is here for all the Middle & lower class people .

Few of us do some business , job , even some people do nothing . but the normal process of the life became same for all .

They take birth ,earn & then die ?

We are busy in our schedule , tightly  busy , so much that even we are not able to think why we are doing all this .

We are running faster & faster but we do not know where we are going ?

Is is the life ?

We are busy with our schedule & daily things are fixed for us.

We are moving in never ending cycle.

Peoples are there & here is every stage of life to give there opinion what we should do & what we should not .

Just open the radio ,tv,newspaper .Go in public meeting , go to religious person & go to Politician ,Teacher ,Professor ,Self management guru , Spiritual teacher(not necessarily spiritual person) ,they all are ready to give there view how we should live our life ?

from childhood , they started transforming our life , what we should do & how we can be successful person .

Not be confuse with the meaning of successful person they all have there different view of that.

But the basic remains always same for all , Each of them tells this is the correct way of living the life & we should behave like them only ,If we go other than that than there is always a problem .

& Some time later in the life , we are stick to any one of them ,We are so habitual of there views that we thinks that all things are fine .There is nothing wrong in that .

Its like that we all people is living in a illusions , No one knows the truth , no one even think about that  , but we are so habitual of our belief,  if some one ever thinks against that then we ready to resist by all power .

We are behaving like the basic principal of science , every rigid thing resist for change if external force is applied because of the inertia . but had we think any time , why we are not ready to listen others view . Are we so rigid that we can not listen to others view ?Its up to us that what we can do with there views , but why we are so intolerant ,Because we always think that we are right ,We are conditioned like this way that we are stick to the view .

We have our own perception of all the things ,Any thing , any view any logic going beyond that perception we always resist .Because whatever we follow , religiously , politically or in any other way , These all always says that only that path is right? no other path is correct .

Think for a while what a man do in his whole life ?

After childhood , study , marital life & then kids ,a home & Cars etc & Then , a day come in the life when things are finished.

See the people around you , after  retirement most of the people think that there is nothing left in the life? Once your kids are married & settled in job/business ,you are complete with your life .

For the society these people or of no use & they are waiting for going out from this world .

This all cycle looks like a machine , is life only for the earning & completing the responsibilities , & responsibilities are only that which are made by us for us .Which are made by the society for us & now a days made by the Market(Investment agent ,Property Dealers ,schools ,financers etc.)

No other one is going to benefit from it .

We study lot about literature , history , geography , math's ,science ,medicine ,business etc .

There are a kind of people who makes these reality , in other side there are the people who read them to pass the exams so that they can get the degree/job.

But no where in school/home they suggest make some history ,They only tell us to be shaped according to the system .They shape us to fit in the system .No school ever teach us to rule the system ,no where is taught to create a system .

Is not we caught in the rat race ? Possibly no one except us can break the illusion ,Give some time to yourself for thinking that may give some vision .

Focus

I do not remember exactly the name but some one told long ago that all the explanation is the revision of the knowledge of the past.

It what all the godman are doing , all the books of self development are  explaining .They just promote the same thing with new cover .Our views are the output of what we receive from the outside world .

I will just tell  a little story here .I heard a long back ,  from my teacher.

Some people were going with a new, very good condition, Car in a village  ,suddenly the Car stuck in mud .  The driver tried his best , but he was not successful to take the car out from the mud .So he requested to all the passenger to push up the car .Some passenger are not willing for this ,they thought this was a below standard . But they has no option .So all the 8 people come out from the car & start pushing the Car .

The driver tried again , but after so many attempt the Car did not moved an inch .So he came out to see what others are doing ………..

He saw every one was trying his best , but the only problem was that they all were trying in different direction.

This little story tell how after applying all the forces and doing work in team can not solve the problem.

 

This is the case with us also , many time we think that we have a lot of power ,so much skill & talent etc ..but why our effort is not worthy ,the reason is that all our effort works in different direction . We work hard up to full extent ,but we work in different direction.We are not focused & here the problem start .We apply all the forces in different direction ,

We think some thing different  ,plan something different & do a  new thing .When we start a new work , we do a lot of work together .We  are never focused .

Its is like the rays of sun ,when focused can burn any thing ,but scattered will spread only light .

Extreme in the Life

How the extreme is killing the life.

I read a story somewhere long back that there was a mother who wants to care me for her child & thinks that her baby is safe inside her womb & should not go in outside world as the life outside will be influenced by environment & can kill the baby.

She think that baby is safe in her body & will not be able to adjust in outside.

But as you know it’s simply not possible to kept a baby inside womb after a certain time .In the effect the baby life will be no more the danger to life of women will also come that can take her life also.

The case is very simple, when you are caring for someone too much than required it will definitely harm her/him.

It may the cause of people caring for the children’s, spouse & family.

Also there is other side of this, you can argue if the people will not care for, then a baby cannot grow, in the initial period of life the baby should get protection & nurture from the mother. And also from the family who teach him about the life, save him from the going in wrong company.

But that protection should not be after certain interval of time, else it will simply ruin the life.

We should know the limit, where to stop caring. After a certain time the caring became the interference in the life .The protection became the burden.
