Pharisaism.

Hello readers

Hope you are doing great.

Mind is a powerful instrument, every thought every emotion that you create changes the very chemistry of your body.

- Shri Jaggi Vasudev

Each person is different in this society, for that matter even twins show different  psychologies is what doctors say.

We the humans are almost dominating the world with the most densely populated and reproducing species on earth.

Abraham Maslow quotes in his need hierarchy each person climbs the ladder of needs like safety needs, security needs, esteem needs and finally moves towards getting his self-actualization needs fulfilled. All the management students out there know about Abraham Maslow I am sure of that.

When we further talk about this theory and try to walk-through each of the needs we can understand these needs start with the basic food, clothing and shelter, so once you are comfortable you will want to increase your standard of living, it doesn’t stop there it moves to esteem needs where you would want people to respect you.

Let me stop there because the last one on the ladder is self-actualization which is about we moving to higher thinking towards and spiritually and philosophy, even though we practice to some extent in our lives but somehow I feel it is just followed almost below the threshold level.

What do I mean by threshold level?

I mean to say we are ending up in the new of mechanical mode due to many diversions around us sometimes end up just doing things just for the sake of doing it, or seriously lost in life and sometimes being Hippocratic.

I always feel there must be a good co-ordination between what you talk and think. I am stressing this point because,  we see many people around us and in work places always acting like as if suffocating webs of problems when there is none and just as the work gets monotonous, reacting  like the most pious people one the world talk about hoping to the summit of the mountain and meditating forever. This is ridiculous and just a mind game I tell, your mind is smarter than you thought, it helps you easily end up in comfortable situation, by generating soothing thoughts.

It is left to your brain and you to allow and choose such thoughts which help you feel comfortable for an only for a while.

I feel the way we should see live not too optimistic or too pessimistic or even being realistic at times may prove costly, I would say when face the hot iron decide which side you want to bend it, you can take all the issues you face in life as an experience.

We tend to become pessimistic very easily because it helps you not to do that at ask and also tends to move to that next easy task.

When you are doing something enjoy and do it, and even though you like what you do stop being Hippocratic about, because if you keep on doing this you will become a confused inconsistent minded person.

We all need to start analyzing our own path of life and reduce the game of blaming.

I titled my blog as pharisaism because this is the official quoted word by many famous research centres in he world to study about the Hippocratic mind of the humans.

Thanks for your time, have a nice day.

The Purity.

Good Morning! Readers

Hope you are doing great.

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.” ...

-Sri Rabindranath Tagore.

It was around four past thirty on my watch, as I started working on my daily BAU that is Business As Usual for you, the mechanical sound of one of my colleague opening the window shutter caught my ears.

I started my work, and the evening sun just swept across the tinted double-sheath glass like a strobe light on my desk. I am a nature lover so I just paused, looked at the sun for a while and laughed myself silly, and continued working.

You know I realized that nature is so powerful, and the mechanisms with which it works is so advanced and complex.

Apart from the advance and the complexity chunk there is another most important part, that is the purity factor.

The check of purity and impurity I guess only applies to us the humans why? Because  we are the only species on this planet who think of vitamin-M before thinking of anything else, of course there are exceptions but at least most of us do, and when it comes to money I am sure some folks are ready to do anything, like for starters add water to milk, add colored stones in a bag of rice, these mean acts which are done  to gain business is popularly called adulteration.

But in nature there is no problem of sullying because there is no need for anything to be  impure or pure because there are no buyers or sellers! What a weird situation isn’t it? Everything for free, and it is 100% pure.

It makes me glad to know that the nature is always pure, you take nectar or poison, and it is pure in nature. Just think since the sun started shining till today, we receive the same rays without a simple change in it; I feel that is just amazing.

We may all say fine dude!  This nature business you are talking about is complex physics, chemistry, geology and what not but still if you just remove your scientific caps and think as a  simpleton it makes you feel awesome.

The formula inside each seed or the genome of each living particle on the planet is defined, precise and pure, we all know magicians who perform confederate tricks which you  stumped . But I feel the actual magic is, you sow a seed of beans after few weeks you have a cute bean plant in your garden, same as the first bean plant of that particular species of bean which was born.

I respect nature a lot and always have been striving to protect it and conserve it with the little of which we have spared.

Sometimes I wonder if we can see nature from a different perspective and that would be as a person, just think of it a person who does not know what it is like to cheat anybody, a person who always thinks of doing good to others and he who always gives more and takes almost nothing and is a symbol of selflessness and most important of all is pure.

Would you like to hurt such a person?  I would definitely not, rather I would be a good friend of him and help him to grow and protect him.

Let us save nature and fight against the people who are exploiting  it remember because of nature’s own purity practices we are living in a world where air is free and shade of a tree,  the sweet voice of a bird, the beautiful breeze from a tree is still free of charge.Let us not end up in a pathetic situation where you store trees in a canned air museum just to show to the coming generations.

Please leave the pure nature alone, because he is the  best of friends.

Thanks a lot for your time, hope you enjoyed this blog request you to spread the message. 

Have a great weekend and a happy week ahead.

Situations and solutions.

Hello readers

Hope you are all well.

The basic idea of governance, as I see it, is to hold the society together so that it can develop the society together so that it can develop and march towards certain goals.Those who govern must see how the people react to administration . Ultimately, the people are the final arbiters.

Situations, Life is all about situations, and how we handle them and sometimes handling them becomes very critical and essential.

If we foul up definitely there would be definitely a recursion, it just like the action and reaction law by Newton, and then you start troubleshooting that issue, well we can tell that this cycle continues in a person’s time for a long time.

Well if look at the number of situations we end up daily we can build up a gigantic database and write a program to answer how to tackle situations when posed a question to that server like you might have heard about the automatic artificial answering server developed by howstufworks.com

You think that would help people I would say yes, it does people to get some experiences or I can tell you a short-cut to that main road.

What about the learning? Yes you learn how someone else solved the issue and you will also implement the same and try to solve you own.

I want to tell all of you that the above method of looking at situation is not useful and the people who just try to get solutions from the problems of others , well  I feel the approach is not rational.

But we have heard this phrase “Learn from others mistakes” or learn from others experiences, in a way I can consider this statement because if you say you will understand everything from your own experiences it will take lot of your time and end your brief journey on earth abruptly.

But there are some stories which are not repetitive with you and others so you cannot depend on an artificial intelligence server or any other person on the planet to help you or you could replicate the solution last time.

So what would you do?

My suggestion is face it, you stumbled somewhere and took a wrong decision, strive hard to correct the track and come back on the right track. Never think OH! Last time I had asked my friend if this is possible to do which will correct my path, he said its bad, so let me quit, dear people your friend’s situation time and so many other factors were different when the same situation  he quit because he did not have the potential to correct his track, or some other reason I will never blame your friend . Well how does it matter to you? You create your own solution and come out of tunnel and see the bright light pf happiness.

So people, self-experimentation is the key, don’t always depend on others knowledge, try to gain more knowledge so that it will help you handle your situations and help you resolve them in the best way possible.It better to have knowledge on the issue you want to resolve rather than to depend on others knowledge.

Swami Vivekananda says " your mind has the power to solve any problem in this world, it only depends how well you train your mind to solve it."

Start your situational analysis, and be on top of it learning to solve your own problems instead of just trying to get solutions from others.

The society is welter, so always following the society may not be helpful. Try direct communication with people; try to avoid alley ways to reach the freeway!

Thanks for your time have a great Sunday ahead.

The Win-Lose Game.

Hello readers

How are you? good to be blogging again.

The essence of scientific spirit is to realize what a wonderful world it is that we live in.

-Sir C.V Raman.

Well how many of you have lost in life , yes I am talking about winning and losing and also losing opportunities that will pinch you and ask you that question why did I let it go?

Well sometimes I feel after losing something in life we gain lot knowledge about that we lost and also become wiser.I agree with you it may be late but still better late than never!

Seriously taking decisions in haste is seriously a waste.

I don't want to point fingers at others because even I have lost opportunities due to rash decisions, complexes and attitude at times; well I guess we all would have ended up in this situation.

 Brain is the key. Our brain is the most complex organ which has taken millions of years to come to this level of intellect and maturity.

But it gets bored too early if you don't control it and wants to switch to something else, this is popularly called as monotony of the brain, I am sure you all would have observed this, we feel happy for the first time when we do something, the second time is also fine but going forward the level of excitement denigrates and finally there is a possibility that you lose interest in that activity that you started.

The reason why I spoke about boredom and brain feeling excited and all the things is that winning and losing depends on it, winners never quit and quitters never win is the famous quote we have heard and also have been quoting to others to motivate them.

But there are many situations where I feel we need that dose of motivation, because your brain is bored doing what you do always and is pushing you to get out of that or rather quit whatever you’re doing. Well I can say if you look from a bird’s eye view this is good, that is you doing something new is great.

You know what is the catch, the catch is that in the haste of changing that monotony you may stumble upon the high roots of the tree of life and may fall, or trip across the incorrect road which may lead you to a unknown town which may not be friendly.

There is good news and bad news for you here, well if the town works well for you, then your game but if it doesn’t well your situation may not be pleasant.

So how to lever such situations? Well I would like to say don’t end up in such a situation at first place but I am sure you will, so in that case we can consider this strategy is what I feel :when you want jump  from a high cliff make sure you are able to climb back, these include simple starting from selecting which road you choose to go to a place the easy road or the longest road, the job you chose years back and you quit that job in haste and repented later, to name them are more examples.

Finally we understand winning and losing actually doesn’t matter losing your boredom and winning that stresses is important.I believe in this principle very much: When you want to quit think why you started? that will refresh your memory.

All the best win only when needed other times win the situation don’t lose to your brain and be in that illusion that  you won! Read again and think again.

Thanks for your time have a nice week ahead.

First Aid.

Hello readers

Manpower without unity is not strength unless it is harmonized and….united properly, then it becomes a spiritual power.

-Sri Sardar Vallabhai Patel

When we were kids we definitely had lots of fun, well now I cannot say that we are not having fun but I must say that was real fun.

Well while playing or while cycling all of us should have fell down and hurt ourselves, and I remember I used to have many wounds as I was a very naughty kid well that is what my mom says.

When we particularly talk about wounds, they are tiny cuts on the skin, mostly caused to friction effect  and the severity depends on how bad was your fall.

I believe that certain things that we experienced in our childhood have a re-occurrence in our prime age, if atleast not the same situation the basic frame work of the issue prevails.

I wanted to compare the simple situations that we underwent in our childhood to the situation now, you know at that age we all just felt the pain of those wounds for a little while and forgot about it.

But the situation has changed now the physical wounds have become  mental wounds which are hard to heal, these wounds are many like, disappointments, frustrations, difference of option, the feeling of insecurity and love, the greed to earn more.

If you ask me how do these wounds hurt you,  actually they bend you from inside, there is a surprising example which I read in a technology magazine, people are getting more disappointed when their phones, laptops, PDAs’ internet at their homes stop working!

Further the article says people are developing a kind of an attachment on these gadgets or machines or whatever you call it like an owner develops an attachment towards his dog.

The dog never argues with his master and so do the gadgets, our brains starts liking them, that is the explanation given by the author and there ends the example.

I understand, in  this is 21^st century and we are in the peak time of  technology and research ,this can happen but we cannot afford to get disappointed for silly things.

Well it is just not that we are developing this horrific habit for reacting to everything, that which concerns us and that which doesn’t as well , we need to work and consider our goals as first priority and we need to aim to service towards society and nature.

We all are not born perfect, but when we say adios earth! We can try to be almost perfect.

Reduce the wounds within you and give that first-aid that is required and heal them before they get infected and it becomes too late to set it right.

Thanks for your time, have a great week ahead.

Family- A small country.

Hello readers 

Hope you are doing well.

No matter how hard the past, you can begin again.

-Buddha.  

Hmmm… It was half past 7 in the Appa’s home in a remote village in the Western Ghats of Karnataka. The weather was fresh and misty outside as it is always in this village and young Kamala was rushing to her school, Amma was running behind her to remind her about her food packet as she had forgotten the packet 3 times in a row that week.

 This was a joint family who were living in their ancestral house and mainly farming was their profession. The family had children of all ages starting from toddlers to children who were ready to take up their degree examinations.

Mudkappa was the oldest man in  the family who usually took the essential decisions of agricultural and also decisions during tough situations, Hiriyappa  his eldest  son loyally listened to his father’s advice and hence they lived with least hurdles and scuffles each day.

Days passed by, and the family is now maturing in terms of age and intellect of its members.

Once there came a situation, which had never been faced by the family, It so happened that , they were running out of resources to take care of their farming activities, essentials like seeds, fertilizers had become costly in the market was almost unaffordable to buy.

When all the people of the family asked the suggestions of Mudkappa to help get out of this situation, he just gave them one suggestion which was “The solution for the problem is you” the young men of the family were not happy with their Granddad’s suggestion, because they felt it was too generic and absurd, which would to help them to solve their issue.

Kamala who was young lady was studying at simple college in their village for a degree in botany and agricultural sciences, so she felt that the answer given by her grandfather was actually relevant to solve the problem, so she suggested all the people in the family what is, that thing which they do uses the resources which was used for farming.

So they listed all the commodities, like the seeds, and the fertilizers required so they all came to consciences and brought all the necessities well within their budget, and carried on with the usual process of sowing.

When the time of the harvest was just ahead, the neighbouring farmers were amazed to find out that this family had the biggest harvest for that year.

When one of the friends Hiriyappa, he just replied venerated, that he listened to the head of the family who had experience in life. There ends the story.

We can see in the above passage, the basic elements of management like, leadership, co-ordination, corporation, the knowledge and know –how, and the management of a situation.

If we take this family as a country we can see that they were always united, and worked for each other to build a best team which do not have weak atoms.

Let’s try to build that unity in our nation like the Family of Mudkappa, and show the world, united we stand.

Thanks for your time have a nice day.

Who is God?

Hello readers 

What's up?

There is only one God, None equals him. He has no end .He is present in all living beings.

-Sri Raja Ram Mohan Roy

Well we always look up for help, starting from the poem that you did not remember, in your recitation exam in pre-school, to a presentation pointer you forgot at your work place.

Did this habit imbibe in us from our earlier specious or the early man, or did we inherit it from the apes? The first species to show dexterity.

There is record that the Mayans and the Incas the oldest tribes in the world, followed a ritual to thank the five forces of nature for helping them.

In ancient India in the Vedic period, the Rishis or the learned men, offered prayers to the five forces of nature vayu (air) ,jala(water), agni(fire), bhoomi (earth) and akasha (sky).

What does God mean to us, a mythological figure, a statue, a Messiah or the holy books? Well it means so many things to different people depending on what God they believe and to which faith they belong to.

But basically when we analyse this word ‘God’ in any belief or reliance God is given a superior position, and the key takeaway would be, he is considered as a heavenly being who knows all the secrets in the world and bound to help you at the time of crisis.

Adi Shankaracharya the great visionary who was born at a period when there was unrest among the different cults in Hindu religion. He wrote some of the world’s biggest commentaries at a very young age, can we consider him as God?  I am asking a question as a student of science and logic.

My answer would be yes, and my submission to substantiate my answer is: the amount of works written by Adi Shankara, takes many years to write, so is he a heavenly being, I would say may be, but when we talk about Brahma, Vishnu or Shiva who are the main Gods in Hinduism, they are universally knowledgeable to the extent that, they control forces of the nature, So even Adi Shankara was universally knowledgeable, So it turns out that even he possesses all the qualities of God.

I continue my research, now Adi ShankaraCharya’s the first historical proponent of Advaita says ‘Aham Brahma Asmi’ here he says I am  “Brahman” so it simply means I am God.

So is Adi Shankara claiming himself to God? No he says each one of us are heavenly beings.

Let us put our thinking caps on, meditate on that statement for few minutes, the great pontiff said you and me are Gods. Well is that true? The next question that comes to our mind is that, we do not have powers, so how can we be even close to God?

Going back to beginning of the passage, I had told you that God is real mature being and the he is universally knowledgeable.

When the pontiff said ‘I am God’ he means that we should all develop such a level of maturity, that you reach a heavenly state.

According to him we get close to become heavenly or attain liberation by first realizing “Atman” your soul and then the “Brahman” the heavenly factor in you.

We talk about intelligence quotient and emotional quotient, then what about the maturity quotient?

Well this is the answer Adi Shankara wants all of us to be more mature in life, by accepting its facts. Whether you believe in God or you are an atheist it doesn’t matter, because already  have a chunk of heavenliness in you, which  we all are made up of the five elements of nature, so the sooner you realise the reality advised by the great Gurus like these, we will all stop  cribbing without any reason in life, We realise it very late when we are old that , we cribbed all through our lives and couldn’t even be happy .

For you your God can be the sun , moon , the earth or any good thing in this world that you feel have the power to show you that beam of concentration that leads to whatever goal you want to reach. So we need to start believing in ourselves inturn you start believing in God.

I don’t buy this idea of we  making mistakes and blaming God at the end, because the person who is at  fault is you and you are God so how can you blame anyone else.

We all are responsible for our own actions.

I bow to Sri Shankara Acharya, and the Rishis, whose wisdom has made this world survive till now.

Thank you very much for your time, let all the great forces in this world shower their blessings on us.
