The sculptor and sculpture

 Hello readers good morning!

I hope you all are fine and safe.

The exciting fact is, this blog was on my draft shelf for almost two years now, glad I am finally ready to discuss this.

 

We have visited historical places atleast once in our life, like an ancient temple or a chapel, we all would have noticed beautiful sculptures.

 

These sculptures were created using materials like stones or wood, and there are any other material.

 

What is that one activity which stands out while created statues? At the top would be the blueprint, of course, like the dimensions and all the engineering aspects.

 

The second place would go to the making of what is called chiseling, technically speaking.

 

You have a block of stone, and you have an image in mind; now, the goal is to change that block of stone into that image you have in mind or in front of you almost or entirely alike the former.

 

The process begins with the shaping of the stone-like transversal view or a longitudinal view. Once the basic shaping is completed, the most important part begins.

Chiseling: sometimes, it also called carving which requires deep skill and accuracy and timing, we cut the base material into the desired shape we intend to with an artistic touch.

 

In history, we have read about the construction of temples; the timelines soar from few years to centuries in which one of the major parts was chiseling.

 

The activity of carving is the one that would add to the beauty of the whole structure.

 

 Try to co-relate this to life: When you are born, that stone slab is you, untouched, pure, a gift of nature.

 

In case of carving figurines, there is a blueprint, to arrive at a result. Whereas in the case of us, there is no blueprint, the result is what we want to be! Almost unlimited.

 

When I say unlimited, it is up to us and the people around who brought you up and guided you until you could take decisions of your own.

 

Then it is all on you! How and where you want to reach in life, pure and simple, no strings attached here.

 

Of course, you will hear a lot of these words like "NO", "you can't do that", "leave this and move on", but finally it is you who accepted that and left it.

 

I would also like to add that leaving something and then clinging to something else you felt is a better option is not bad, but to completely stop pursuing your interests something is a bummer!

 

My simple message after setting prima facie is: We all are like untouched rocks; when we are born, people start shaping you, chiseling you to turn you into a beautiful person, then there is a point where even though the people are there for you to help you out, it falls on you to decide what you want to become.

When you are time is done on the green planet, people look back and admire the simulacrum(image) you left behind, make it an amazing one not for anyone else but for you; as it makes you feel contended that you lived your life to the fullest!

 

Wishing you all health and all the energy in the world, which I hope you will use to drive your subconscious mind into bringing the best out of you always.

 

The sculptor and sculpture would be you if the effigy did not come out well; now we know the tools are not responsible!

 

Don’t worry about looking good worry about achieving your goal.

Thanks for your time, have a good week ahead.

The truth about you

Hello Reader

Hope you are fine today.

Mind is more powerful than you can imagine, it actually knows all your hidden talents but it does not have an instrument or a medium to tell  you, instead it is you who should become the medium and open up this secretive mind before your soul departs from your body empty that treasure chest full of thoughts and talents buried deep inside your mind and understand the purpose of your living.

Another week just flew away with the winds of time, just as it flew away I got some fresh thoughts which I wanted to share it with all of you today.

How many of you have thought about this? Your fears, your source of happiness, what excites you the most your likes and dislikes.

Definitely, I am sure you would have some thoughts about atleast some questions which I have mentioned above.

But still, there will be hidden truths about ourselves which you understand as time moves on, or it would be identified by the people around you, still wondering what I am trying to tell you?

Just a  simple instance will help you out, assume there is a micro group study being conducted on a group of people. The group was asked to walk on a particular street when they were suddenly shown a village roadshow, a simple poor family trying to show them some rope tricks like tightrope walking and the balancing act.

How would they react when they saw is, let me give you some choices to help you guess: would they feel happy and be amazed by the talent of the performers, or would they feel bad thinking about the poverty situation in India and think about talking to those kids’ parents and helping them attend school, or just walk away.

Even though the above example is simple and straightforward, there are certain inferences which we can trace from it.

First and foremost the example is a classical situation analysis which is presented by many trainers which help to understand the trainees' mind.

If you felt happy and amazed: that would infer you are a simple thinker and you just live the moment and a focused thinker, basically, goal oriented your goals first and societal goals later.

OK! Seeing the performance you thought for a while, even though you felt a little bit happy in the first place you continued to think and finally the smiling curve on your chin turned into a glum posture, as you realized those children were in a hardship and you felt they deserved better.

The third kind of people would be less emotionally oriented in life or fall into the category of others if you consider this a micro group study.

I would like to discuss more on the second inference, let us just assume  some ten people felt bad about it and started getting thoughts in their mind ,you know the type of thoughts which won't stop, which would also lead to a will and determination to do something and change the situation which they saw.

These are types humans who actually try to change the countries state from the grass root, I salute to all such type of people who would like to think like that.

Moving on, let us put you and me in that situational group study, how would you react? suppose your reaction relates to the category 2, that means my friend you think differently and there are lots of things to be done by you and is pending I would say start doing it don’t worry about the society or the people who  try to oppose what you want to do until and unless it not causing hurt to this society or environment.

The feeling and motivation which you got from inside to do what you wanted differently is the truth about you, that is what who you are or who you wanted to be, let me tell you many of us just shy away from what we want to become and do something totally different which we were not actually prepared for, but still excel in that do you know what it means, it says you are so talented you can excel in a field which you are not great at, imagine if you find and search and bring out your hidden talents would not achive your life goals and also feel contented?

People say we all are gifted with some talent when we are born, some people are good enough to understand that at an early age ad they excel with their strengths which is again awesome.

For others who feel discontented in what they do, expose yourself to the society to situations, to movies,to live performances or watch televisions I am sure the hidden truths will come out and actually are coming out as you are reading this and it is all your mind, the only thing which is remaining is whether  you want to work towards what you want to be at the cost of anything or just keep it aside and enjoy the comfortable situation you are in currently!

So it is all in you as mentioned in the thought at the beginning of the blog.

Thanks a lot for your time, let the hidden chest living inside you be opened up I wish you all well.

Helios.

The real happiness.

Hello readers                                                                                                              15-MAY-2015

Welcome back to friday!

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

-Helen Keller

Well in today's blog I want talk about, happiness and the way I have understood this feeling which everyone want to feel all the time, is that possible? Let's see.

When do we feel happy ,that would be a simple way to start,we feel happy when we see an old friend ,who was close to you,we feel happy when our desires are fulfilled  and so on.

But is that real happiness, I don't think so ,those jubilant feelings we experience is a reflex action of that moment,for example there are situations where we feel very happy after clearing a test or an exam, the reason is that the brain was in a controlled environment, and had stressed  out ,and when you completed the test ,and also passed it the accomplishment ,eased your brain and you felt happy.

But actually what is real happiness,it is actually you as person feeling happy,confusing?let me make it  clear and simple with an example

Imagine you wanted to take a nap on this saturday afternoon and your very happy that there is no work today and you have finished all your morning chores ,and all set for your power nap,when suddenly your doorbell rang ,and it was your favourite uncle !

You felt very happy to see him ,but inside you feel that someone cribs that you could not sleep?who is that someone?that's the person who lives inside you or your soul.

This is the conflict I am talking about ,we are doing things in life which does not make the person happy ,but only the medium which is your mind happy.

I do agree that there are compromises in life which we do for others pleasure and as a help ,but at some point of time we need to start doing ,what we want to do .

The next type of happiness that I want to talk about is called the combined happiness.

The concept is very simple again,you do things in life which will make you feel happy ,as well as the people around you happy,now how do we do that? well we know many stand-up comedians this is what they actually do ,whatever is the problem going on their life ,they put that aside and laugh to the core and make others or his or her's audience laugh ,which is a great quality.

There is no point in cribbing because as my boss used to say,its the most unproductive feeling you can experience !and the next moment he used to say come on !what's happened has happened just move on! I think that is exactly what we need to do ,we must start living for the moment ,time is very dynamic its sometimes faster than your thought.come what may always aim to be happy and spread happiness

In life I think that is what counts ,we being selfless ,but not cheating yourself and trying to spread the happiness wave .

It is not easy to bring a smile on others face ,when a person is in agony ,great people like
Robin Williams and Michael Jackson had the great power and were successful in making others happy through their great shows,music and movies though their personal life was not a happy one.

In  the end ,I would like to say  spread happiness to the world ,its okay to compromise ,sometimes on our happiness ,for the sake of others ,which will give you as person more happiness,we should start targeting in making our souls feel happy,which happens when we start being selfless and service -minded Which will take us closer towards the path of salvation,in life.

Thanks a lot your time,have a great weekend .

Reborn?

24th April 2015

Hello readers

The only way to have a friend is to be one. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The week is about to end, and there we have the weekend.

So in todays blog I wanted to talk about the concept of rebirth
and being reborn.The concept is actually about being born again every day?!

I know you were thinking about soul and rebirth,actually that is not where I am heading to, on the philosophical side,but I want to explain you about how without our knowledge, we become kids and what you are again.!

Our mind is a wonderful instrument,it helps you to do what you want to learn each day.

Let me start with a simple example, think about the first day you did something, for instance the first time you learnt to write, there was a method in which you were thought by your teacher.

Then you slowly started grouping letters,and formed meaningful,words,and those group of words into a specific sequence and pattern, and you called call it a sentence.

So we need to understand, that we learn everything from scratch and become rookies and then professionals in what ever we do in life.

So the concept of just pushing the weak person down is always pointless and we should stop doing it in life.

When we start working on  a new job we will exposed to all types of difficulties,and we do not have another option other than to accept it and live with it ,but I feel there's not much need to be make it so difficult as it looks,the rookie can be given a chance to swim out of the situation and encouragement can be given to him .

May be I am talking like its an ancient time here ,where the forces of arrogance and ego were not ruling the world fluxed with selflessness,But times have changed the competition is so much that ,people have started making war strategies for the simplest thing,in this world.

But I guess its about time we wake up from the sleep and understand the world in a better way ad start being compassionate and considerate to your fellow beings and help them grow in the way the way they are supposed to be born that will give this world the boost that it need t show the road for the young sparks who are bursting out of  the ocean of knowledge.

We must always remember that ,when we try to bully someone or think that the guy is dumb ,just think when you initially started that task, did you not undergo the same situation?

To conclude ,accept your mistakes ,promote happiness in you and around you,help the weak to become strong and the strong to remain strong,show the guts in talking about good things about a person than speaking rotten things behind this back.

Lastly we must stop cribbing and start living.

Have a great weekend ahead ,and thanks a lot for your time.
