POST 7 - NEXT DAY WORRIES? THE SURE SOLUTION ON HAND! #WriteAPageADay

A man of 55 mused aloud..

“This Work Arena is a tricky environment. I may be a king as on date but not forever as all these

• Powers,
• Facilities and 
• Recognition 

with me today will be taken away at one stroke on the day I retire at 60 and I'll straight away be shown 'Exit' without any consideration for my feelings. Bereft of all these, I sure will have a small life with emptiness all round!

Let me be wise and implement the best strategy from now onwards so that all these continue with me if not at the present level at a lesser level..

That strategy is..

Slowly start being 'extra good' with many VIPs around especially those that would sure be coming to power in next 5 years. Those people will surely give me a job of Consultancy in the Organization for the next 5 yrs with certain indirect powers too..

Thus I'll be active again, there would be no despair on that fateful day of completing 60 and

That day and the next day would remain the same for me!

The wise man next to him remarked..

"Okay, agreed..

But what are you on the next day to your 65th year?

Dear! 

We can never escape from this emptiness of nothing to do in life by trying to avoid it.. 

Equally, we are not evolved enough to face that emptiness directly too.. 

The right way here for normal people like us is to constantly involve alone. But this involving is very much a double edged sword..

Involve with an accumulating attitude gaining max everywhere, you ultimately lose yourself to the emptiness in life 

But

Involve with a helping attitude losing a bit everywhere, you ultimately gain yourself the peace in life!

Start following the second discipline in your work environment as well as in your life, you soon understand that all these

• Powers,
• Facilities and 
• Recognition 

Are given to you not to

• Rule
• Gain and
• Feel Proud

But to

• Instill discipline
• Get the work done and
• Improve the quality of life around..

If you start following that discipline saying no to all the self interested strategies which your mind is proposing presently,

• All the people
• All the time
• All with a helping hand

would be with you and with that life with you, not those isolated days at 60 or 65 alone but each and everyday would be the same filled with

Poise, Contentment and Peace!"

On a day 4 Expert Groups visited a farmer..

The Expert Group1 requested him to make use of their skills and remain happy. The farmer said,

"I'm happy with my dancing paddy fields and singing birds around me. No extra thing I need to be happy!" 

The Expert Group2 requested him to make use of their skills and remain happy. The farmer said,

"I'm happy with my simple food directly cooked in my house and consumed. No extra thing I need to be happy!"

The Expert Group3 requested him to make use of their skills and remain happy. The farmer said,

"I'm happy with my small house amidst the ever green Nature around me. No extra thing I need to be happy!" 

The Expert Group4 requested him to make use of their skills and remain happy. The farmer said,

"I'm happy with my own understanding of life as is around me. No extra thing I need to be happy!"

All became silent. When asked why so, one of them replied..

"Unless you become happy with our skills and share your 'Precious Produce' with us, all our learnings become nothing when our stomachs growl!" 

(Based on what I heard, the credit of it 100% going to the Original Author)

A 'Great Reminder' in my so called 'Busy Life' where in a few times I would be trying to tie firm knots between elbows and knees!

2 PM was the time for cleaning the rest room area as per schedule and the In-Charge requested people in urgency to walk in and finish their activity and rest in the queue to wait for 15 minutes.

A few walked in and finished their activity and the rest decided to wait. The In-Charge was about to close the gate when a man came forward and said,

“Hi, I am on an urgent job and have to catch my bus. I'll give you some cash. Will you allow me in?”

The In-Charge with a smile locked the front gate saying,

“Don’t worry.. I know the Bus Operator. He'll stop the bus for you. I promise!"

Exactly after 15 minutes, he opened the gates with a broad smile and welcomed the people waiting. As they started moving in, he jokingly asked the man who was ready to offer him money,

“Will you give me the money now?”

Someone remarked in the queue,

“Why not? Ten times of that, tens of us in the queue will give you for the Greatest Service you are doing to us!” 

(Based on my personal experience when in abroad)

Another 'Great Reminder' in my so called 'Busy Life' where in a few times I would be trying to appear the best at the cost of certain uncleanliness left behind!

POST 5 - SPIRITUALITY.. WHAT'S IT LIKE FOR ORDINARY INDIVIDUAL LIKE ME? #WriteAPageADay

"I know Spirituality!"

"Dear! In all other fields it may be 'OK' but in the field of Spirituality when I say, 'I know', I don't know!"

"How come, Sir?"

"In all fields of activities, I am probing into all things except about 'myself' but in Spiritual field, that probing is into 'myself' alone!"

"So?"

"Myself probing into 'myself' and finding out 'myself' will never happen!"

"Then what is the way? You mean, I can't talk of Philosophy?"

"You can but it becomes just a subject of reproducing what is learnt or heard, nothing more than that!"

"Am confused!"

"Dear! The Great Saint said,

"A salt doll curious of knowing the depth of Sea slowly went down the sea, melted and merged itself with the sea waters and ultimately there was one single vast Infinite Sea alone; nothing else!"

Understanding Spirituality is that way only and Spirituality is truly understood by me when that same 'me' melts away and merges with 'Oneness of Entire!'"

"?????"

"Dear! Leaving this discussion, let me at this point of time understand that the right way of being spiritual for ordinary person like me in this life is nothing but following the

DISCIPLINE

Comprising of

Directing my energies for taking care of my body and mind at base level,

Involving in family responsibilities to the best of my abilities,

Sticking to my Religious and Spiritual practices as they are,

Carrying equal respect for others religious and Spiritual practices,

Involving in charity both physical and monetary wise to my feasible level,

Presenting myself the best inline with the acceptance of others,

Living thru' my own Expression non stop,

Involving thru' my own Art deep within and

Negating myself to the level feasible with Vibrant Newness next to me, 

Let me

Engage myself in Humble Prayer deep in my heart to the Lord for Ultimate Take Care!"

POST 3 - PROSPERITY COST! #WriteAPageADay

A King visited the distant prosperous Kingdom on a request call..

He spent a few days there and the King of the prosperous Kingdom quickly showed him all those extra ordinary facilities he provided for his people in their routine life..

The King got very much inspired with all that and on return, decided to provide the same for his people too. The friendly King of prosperous Kingdom in no time offered the expertise help required there with no cost at some places and with a small cost at other places and promised to continue giving that support..

The wise Minister raised his objection for the implementation of the new schemes saying that it was not a feasible idea for his people. The King snubbed him off in no time as enough finances were there in the Treasury for the support. The ambitious scheme was soon through..

In few weeks, the specific facilities were with people at every corner.. The King felt..

• 'Where there's a will there's a way!' 

After all it was not a difficult job.. His ambition was to go ahead with the next program that was lurking in his mind..

But there was an issue.. A serious one indeed..

The facilities at various points in the kingdom in short time started giving problems of maintenance and upkeep. An attempt was made to address the same but found that it was a Herculean job to do that as..

• Expertise was not available around to look into the problems which had to be subsequently purchased continuously from the prosperous Kingdom at high cost, 

• Spares were not available to the number required, 

• A few available had prohibitive price as the quality had to be maintained and 

• Spurious spares which were in no time in the market started giving problems the next day of their fitment.. 

In no time, the precious life saving finances, energies and time had to be diverted to maintain the ambitious Project going on which was impossible to do..

Thus, soon the facilities at all points in the kingdom were closed and people were back to their own ingenious ways of living their life without them. The king was a just a mute watcher in front the whole Project being shelved through..

The wise Minister was right,

• 'What you can't maintain through out the life, you should never have in the beginning itself!'

THE TALK of one individual..

When no conflict prevailed with own self..

"What's the problem, dear? Don't lose confidence. Forget about what happened, get up and feel good, you will be 50% alright. Start doing your normal works and at the end of every day recapitulate the effort put in by you, you will be alright remaining 50%.. 

There are so many things around you for your betterment. Make use of them liberally and thus be yourself 100%.. 

What we make is our life.. 

Okay.. I've got to go now. Do what I say; you'll be alright!"

When confronted with a slight conflict with own self..

"Yes.. I've taken the best care here and there's no room for any slippage. It's just a matter of time, I know.. Others too confirmed that to me. Soon things should return to normalcy!"

When that conflict with own self deepened a bit..

"Oh! I've become helpless. What can I do now? I'm trying this last one. Hope things would be alright soon!"

When the head and tail of the situation became unknown..

"This life has no meaning. Everything is shaky. If God Wills only, I move. Lord! You are Original.. You are Powerful.. You are Merciful.. Take care of me.. I bow down to you!"

When small improvement surfaced..

"All this is just the Almighty's Grace! A Miracle had happened in my life!"

When more recovery appeared..

"My Prayers worked. Working hard and having firm Faith in God are going to be the 2 disciplines hereafter in my life!"

When back to normalcy..

"You see.. I have gone into such a worst scenario and there was almost no go. Nothing seemed working. But right at that moment, my deep Faith had truly done wonders. Today I'm this much because of the Lord's Grace alone; nothing else!"

Soon in time..

"What's the problem, dear? Don't lose confidence. Forget about what happened, get up and feel good, you will be 50% alright. Start doing your normal works and at the end of every day recapitulate the effort put in by you, you will be alright remaining 50%..

There are so many things around you for your so called betterment but none really helps to take out sorrow from you.. 

Believe in God and offer a sincere prayer to the Almighty at the end of each and every day for Ultimate Take Care and thus be yourself 100%.. 

What we make is our life.. 

Okay.. I got to go now. Do what I say; you'll be alright!"

When the head and tail of the situation became unknown in life..

"This life has no meaning. Everything is shaky. This life has no meaning.. Leave everything, remain humble and be ready to serve humanity.. That's the reality of life!"

When small improvement surfaced..

"All this is just because of my decision for life! A Miracle had happened in my life!"

POST 1 - NO DOUBT, IT'S ALL BUSINESS! #WriteAPageADay

A young man got into a new but a mediocre job which never payed him much and he equally could not shift to another job too immediately as the Employers preferred a certain work experience from his end. He was not satisfied with his immediate earnings and wanted to boost the same thru' an indirect business continuing his job and accordingly decided to venture into a small business all by himself afresh..

As he had no experience in the field, some one told him to take advice from one who was well known in the field but actively not doing any business in that line. When contacted, that person advised him on how and where to invest his finances. 3 months passed and on a fine day, the young man incurred a big loss and instantly found that one fourth of his investment gone at a single stroke..

A close friend told him that the previous Adviser might have been tipped by the big man in the field and so it would be always better to get a second independent opinion, average out and decide in all such ventures. And the young man had no way other than go for it. Another 3 months passed. It looked worked, but still there was a loss in the business and after all calculations the young man found that he lost an additional of one eighth of his investment..

Another friend advised him to take 2 such additional opinions in the field from two independent parties and decide based on the average of the three and the young man had no go again but to follow that. Next, six months passed thus. He was stable for a while, initially certain loss was there but of negligible percentage and soon profits showed up in small numbers..

A third friend advised him always to average out the best opinions available around and act. The young man soon followed that. But the success was again limited as the profits too averaged out..

Finally a well-wisher advised him to go to the person who was a Stalwart in the field and take his advice. The young man accordingly went to him, got the advice and returned..

And thereafter, he consistently made sizable monies in his life without a break!

What did the Stalwart in the field advice him in that context?

• The Stalwart advised him to resign from his on going job as well as stop venturing in all those businesses and as he had got certain min experience in business dealings, offered him a Senior Position in his own Company for a handsome salary..
