One life- A Perspective.

Hello Readers

Hope you all are doing fine.

God is in all men, but all men are not in God; that is why we suffer;
If you must be mad, be it not for the things of the world. Be mad with the love of God.

-Swami Vivekananda

Hmm... Again here comes the weekend and I am ready to talk to you on yet another focus.

Want to start with little bit of my blogging journey, I have written 175 blogs and this is my 176^th blog, when I think about the feedbacks I have received for all those topics I have written there has been positive and negative ones which is very healthy and generally people have said I get stuck in a redundant cycles sometimes where I have ended up repeating what I have written.  I would like to thank each one of you for considering reading what I write and the motivation and will surely work towards improving my blogs.

One life is what we all have, and what we achieve in this one life is the point I want to touch upon.

I got this idea actually after reading a 70+ page speech of Sri Swami Vivekananda called “The master” the only book where the Swami speaks about his guru Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa.

I learnt lot of truths after reading this book; I would like to share some of it.

The book speaks about the golden truths of life like how should a teacher behave? And first of all who is a teacher? What is the actual meaning of religion?

You know these are all basic questions for which we have got many answers which we now consider standard and noble but this article gave me a new perspective of thinking about:

The rich traditions and culture of India, the comparison of the Indian society and the occidental society, how the Indians thought of this world which was way more matured than a Western men’s business minded thinking.

There is a particular chapter about women in this context it is all about Sri Sarada Devi the guru Matha of the Swami and the consort of Sri Ramakrishna whom he considered as a mother all through his life, and which was gladly accepted by the great Sannyasin, it says “ even in the midst of the ignorance in which the average Hindu woman lives, the midst of what you call the western countries lack of freedom ,there would arise a woman of this supreme spirituality, who stood by Ramakrishna till he left his body as his mother.

Well I would urge everyone to read this book “My master” to experience how life can be.

Some takeaways I learned after reading: The level of thinking of each and every individual in India should try to think in similar lines beyond religion, beyond temples churches and mosques and first understand the true meaning of religion.

Understand what it is to be a teacher is and what can a teacher give his disciple if he thinks only in the upliftment of his student in a totally selfless attitude.

A total non-materialistic view of this society which will just astonish us and which proves is the core strength in the unity which defines India.

We need to remember the people who lived and who have created a bright path for us to lead our future generations, I am very sure I will carry the torch and show this path to as much as people I can,  and spread this message to me next generation.

Why don’t we all join and make this mission a great success?

So this life, this one rare life what has been gifted us by this universe put it to best of use and become an example for the generations to come.

Good day.

Hello Readers

Hope you all are doing well.

The tragedy in life doesn’t lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach.

Recently I observed something new, this is for all my dear readers who like animals, what I observed is that animals are way more smarter than us and they have good gauging power and choose whom to go and ask help, here I mean like a treat or shelter . 

I am amazed by this whole system of nature and admire each and every animal which lives each day with its own skills, remember we are a  by product of many species which have survived in hard times.

Focusing on my topic for today I would like to discuss about hope.

I know I have quoted dialogue of this  great movie called “ Shawshank Redemption” many times which is also my all-time favorite , there is a conversation about hope in the movie, which is actually brilliant.

The instance his simple, Brooks a prisoner who had served 50 years of a life sentence was finally released, even though he tries to make it on the outside he will eventually end up committing suicide , this popular phenomenon in the 50s in the prisons of UK and US was called a prison sickness or “Institutionalization” which is  been protriated.

Another scene in the movie shows how Andy the hero of the movie has an argument with his buddy Red when he contents Andy  about  the word “hope” where he says it is a dangerous thing and it make a man go crazy . But the movie ends in a happy note or an anti climax  where Red accepts that hope is indeed a wonderful thing.

There is so much truth in what was shown in that in that movie, do you know we are here today living this life with a hope in mind? and even though we might not buy the idea of hope, it is hope which we makes us do what all we do .

Healing : do you know this is a natural process but if you again look into it heals a wound bringing you a hope.

A mother raises her kids in the hope of giving them a better life than her own,  a person who paints hopes to become a Picasso one day.

For animals carrying on the generation is the only hope to see its progeny in the ecosystem.

Yes I feel hopefulness is a very important way of looking at life, the moment that hopefulness is lost in you I think that is when we may lose the purpose of our living.

The waves of hope on  a drifted sea should raise along with the currents and travel to the beach which should be your mind which should be an energy of refreshment.

Do you know even sleep is considered as a hope given to you by nature so that you can think afresh the next day, and rise up with new hope.

Always live in hope and believe in positive sub-consiousness .

Thanks for your time. Have a great weekend ahead.
