Too near too far?

Hello readers

Hope you guys are doing great.

 If you light a lamp for someone ,it will also brighten your path .

-Gautama Buddha

Philosophy is a beautiful subject; it helps everyone to think higher than what average human thinks.

When I used to discuss about philosophy in debates or casual conversation with friends, work colleagues or family. We all have point to make which is, people who think about philosophy have lesser problems in life, I thought it was a fair argument because even if we just flip back our books of management.

 Abraham Maslow  who gave us the Maslow's need hierarchy theory explains: at first a person will look at physiological needs that is the basic needs, then he will look for security or safety  needs like building a place to stay build  family and so on next he looks at love and belongingness from his family and friends, moving forward he looks at esteem needs or the ego needs where he wants people to respect him and finally  the learned management Guru  Maslow calls it self-actualization needs which is a person who goes in search of higher knowledge and spirituality .

The self-actualization needs is at the top of the ladder which he says a person who has the other needs will start thinking about Heftier topics like philosophy, spirituality and so on.

How many of you agree with me?

I agree with this because only if you have lesser things to worry in life you can move towards this direction because in this fast changing world let us not kid ourselves by saying we can give up the other needs and move to the highest rung of the ladder and move towards that bent of mind, the guys who can do it I say are definitely brilliant, but you know what kind of energy it needs, it is not the calorie energy  it is the cerebral energy is what many psychologists say.

Too near too far: This phrase is actually has many meanings, the generic meaning would be you like to do something in life you go just enough far to touch your goal and achieve it partially but fail to achieve the complete goal.

There is another meaning for the same phrase which I want to focus on today.

In the Chapter 3 of the Bhagavad Gita one of the greatest scriptures in Hinduism, it says Karma yoga is the discipline of selfless action as a way to perfection.

If you ask me “Is this like I need to work for free”? no my friend I would say This is above that level or our level of thinking it is a unique feeling of you do what is good for the society or you what is good that has to be immediately done to a man in suffering or any creature on this world in suffering and when the pain is relieved you see happiness in happiness of the being which you helped and not expect in return.

It is also doing what is to be done at the correct moment and at the time when it required and leaving the result to the almighty and you would never worry about the result.

We all are wondering is it really possible in this era of materialism and selfishness, actually to be frank with you there is lot of hope left, most of the time I keep seeing that the situations are just being hyped, like most of the reports are published without proper research which people in journalism call it as adulterated news feeds.

They are already practising Karma yoga what about us?

There is lot of good things which are going around and you just don’t know it yet because we are being pumped with always set of guidelines about how to not get cheated, always being careful and being scared all the time.

There are things which at this moment going normal and even great, so we all need to work towards making things better and concentrate on how we can help anyone in distress I won’t limit myself to humans because I treat all species on this earth as same.

The art of letting  go is just the most difficult art to learn; and do you who are the master piece artists  who have mastered this art, they are not religious gurus they are the  brave mothers who could let go their daughters and sons to serve the nation, don’t you think it is Karma yoga, you may argue about the perks a military personnel gets, but just question yourself  how many of are ready to hang your life on a clothes rod where the wind is so swift that the clothes may get tattered  into countless pieces ?!

I appreciate even the people who are into real spiritual organizations who are rendering service to humans and also taking care of animals, that is also Karma yoga it is easy for us just sit back and comment that they backed by babus and others and makes lot money in the name of service, but question yourselves again can you do it? Or what you would do if you had become the world’s number one guru?

You know it is very difficult for you to give something like a gift to a person who is practicing Karma yoga because he would be totally abstemious , the only way you can make that person happy is helping him or her in the same service he/she is into or you also being service minded!

Being practical in life is an on-going process and to let go of the things you love the most and the things you desire for and to render service for free for any cause for that matter will be your first step towards full filling your self- actualization need! and experiencing this word called “ amity”.

So it does not matter whether you see it from a management aspect or you take the yogic route, the ultimate question is “can you let go”?

Thanks for your time.

Have great week ahead.

Spider on my ceiling fan.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing well.

It may be difficult in the beginning, but networking is a skill that pays dividends so i suggest investing now.

-Lydia S. Hu

It was half past noon, I was on my bed reading a book , suddenly I lifted my head , not sure why I did that but when I did that the ceiling fan was the first object which I noticed.

I could also see a tiny spider lurking on the edge of the fan blade and trying to build a web. Little did it realise that it would perish once the fan is switched on.

Actually seeing this spider motivated me  to think in a different direction.

The spider web is considered as the most unique structure built by any creature including us. What so special about the web, a spider web is a device which helps  to trap food and also to stay safe from predators.

The web is a type of silk which is produced from a gland called spinnerets which are found behind the salivary glands.

I was very much impressed by this insect because the way it weaves its web is just amazing and scientist have said that the dimensions of the web are so precise and accurate that it is considered it almost considered as the most stable structures ever built.

Well the spider web is a network according to me which is interconnected; which leads to the central hub where the spider sits let us correlate it to our lives.

Life would be brilliant if we have a great network, the network I am talking about is not just that professional network or a brilliant network of friends, all these networks should be connected to make it a big network made up of friends, benefactors work colleagues and so on.

If you have a such a network I tell you there is no reason you will left out among the crowd and talk about loneliness in life or you being ignored .

The network will help you to stay active and bubbling.

This blogging always keeps me active and moving towards new ideas and concerns which I feel needs to addressed only because of the networks which are created by you guys reading this blog and sharing it and the pleasure I get by sharing in my networks.

The network web plays a pivotal role in life.

There are also some cautions,  a network should be almost information oriented and never deviate from it, I am not saying we need to just be some information gateway robots who  never communicate anything else but I would like to say do not bring the vitamin M factor in the network it may cut the web like a huge grass hopper just crashing on the web.

An innocent network with maturity is the most blissful network that you can find.

Why I say innocent is that the purpose of the network should be pure and should never be formed for the wrong reasons.

Nature has the best networks starting from ants to spiders we should all keep these creatures in mind when we want to achieve something big in life.

Go build a network.

Thanks for your time have a nice day.

The logic.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing well.

Manpower without unity is not a strength unless it is harmonized and united properly, then it becomes a spiritual power.
-Sri Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel

Reasoning conducted or assessed according to strict principles of validity is called logic. Majority of the people in the world react and work based on logic.

Even I don’t believe anything without any logic. But sometimes do you think our logics are correct and the way we are thinking is right, well let us discuss.

Here are some situations which are inter-linked just try to relate them.

You are walking on the road you noticed a currency note; you just look around and did find anybody so you just slipped it inside your pocket. Now you continue walking you see a man wandering on the road helpless he approaches and asks you if you had some money because someone was very ill at his home and wanted some money to give to the doctor.

You can react to this situation in two different ways 1. You give him the money or you tell him that you don’t have the money and walk away here I am assuming you opted for the second option.

You further move on and you see a small girl who wants to sell you a pen which you are quite impressed with and you buy it.

Now for the logical analysis of this case study.

First your brain reacted in a happy mode to the free money that you got, then when a person asked for that money you felt aback and refrained and did not give it to him as you just realized that you will lose your money.

But when you again saw the small girl who was selling a pen, you felt happy that you are getting something in exchange for the money which you did not earn.

So actually this pattern of behavior is seen in the majority of the population and is not something unrealistic or peculiar.

There is a correlation to the same case study any more realistic context that is donation. We feel very proud of what donations we make, but sometimes we shy away from situations where people are actually in need of money, the reason is that when a social group will ask you a donation there is a possibility that they might be willing to give that donation as these days people offer you a tax exemption for the donation you have made that your brain will think like the little girl who gave you a pen for the money you paid her, even though this is the money you have earned.

But if there are some people who are struggling for a meal, many people fail to help because they do not see the happiness of the people and satisfaction of quenching their hunger as a return for the help.

Let us start becoming really useful to society and stop and throw that question from our minds which is” who is he why should I help” once we lose this question from our mind and start helping people without worrying for a tax exemption which is the return or the expectations for the help you do I am sure we all realize the joy of giving.

Thanks for your time and have a happy week ahead.

The Fight.

Hello readers

Hope you all are doing well.

The true laboratory is the mind, Where behind illusions we uncover the laws of truth.

-Jagadish Chandra Bose.

So the weekend is over and we are all back on our week cycles again. I wanted to talk about a different type of fight today and that is the constant fight with only an opponent.

Have you heard of a person who fights with him and only him and some illusion? If you are thinking I am talking about people who are not sound in mind you are wrong.

I am also not talking about people who are schizophrenic (people who suffer from the disease of talking to themselves).

This fight is begins soon after a creature is born in this world till he goes back to the universe.

This is purely a biological fight which involves the internal systems of our bodies and it is between your body and how it fights and defends and protects against the odds of nature.

If we understand the bio-mechanics of life we will all be truly amazed.

For example how does your body defend you from diseases, we have a good defense system which consists of white blood cells antibodies and externally we have the two famous proteins pro-thrombin and fibrinogen, if you are thinking that you have never heard about these two words, I can tell you that you have felt these two proteins and you have been seeing this since you first bruised yourself when you were playing ball near your house and fell.

Yes it is network which forms on your skin which is dark brown in color and falls off as the new skin comes out, what a beautiful mechanism nature has designed.

There are millions of mechanisms in the body and the first laws of physics I guess were proved and working in the bodies of the physicists himself before they even proved those laws.

Yes! Nature is the universal boss of everyone, you have the non-return valves in your heart and your excretory system which are imitated in the plumbing industry, and the wings of the airplane, the monitor lizard’s grip are all derived into the aviation and military you have many more examples like SONAR, night vision cameras, temperature sensitive instruments and vibration sensing instruments implied from snakes and other reptiles.

This fight ends when the being dies, the fight which began when it was born, and it was the single winner that was the cell structure of the organism, and the fights have infinite rounds still the winner would be the same, but the day the cells of the entity call it a day, the winner would always be nature. This is the fight in which the winners never change, and always predetermined.

The only thing that matters is before you mislay that fight which is for sure you would lose at the end, how many smiles you create on this earth and how many hearts you won.

Be that champion till your last gasp only after which you give a chance to nature which will be the winner ever after.

Thanks for your time and have a great week ahead.
