FROM 'IT'S THE OTHER PERSON'S SACRED MONEY' TO 'IT'S MY DEAR MONEY!'

 Thoughts while paying first Installment of loan:

• "It's not mine.. I'll diligently, honestly and systematically with all care pay back the loan taken in installments with a 'Thank You' note..

After all, it's the other person's sacred money!"

Thoughts while paying next Installment:

• "It's not mine.. I'll diligently, honestly and systematically pay back the loan taken in installments with a 'Thank You' note!"

Thoughts while paying subsequent Installments:

• "Mine or not.. I'll diligently, honestly and systematically pay back the loan taken in installments!"

• "Mine or not.. I'll diligently and systematically pay back the loan taken in installments!"

• "Ok.. I'll systematically return in installments!"

• "Ok.. Ok.. How many more installments are left?"

• "Let me see.. My problem continues. Let me pay now only the last month's skipped installment!"

• "Oh! How long I can pay like this? Too much.. This is 2 installments' money. Last month's and this month's.. A lot of money I am giving away!"

Thought at one stage on the loan taken:

• "No more returning.. My expenditures are too many. Let me see who will question me. I know how to deal with this..

After all, It's my dear money now totally in my hands!"

In distance a school student, as part of studies was heard repeating the famous Quote from Shakespeare’s Hamlet ( Act1, Scene 3) spoken by Polonius to Laertes:

‘Neither a borrower nor a lender be,

For loan oft loses both itself and friend,

And borrowing dulls the edge of

Husbandry!’

--Royal Shakespeare Company

GETTING CONVINCED.. WHAT'S IT ULTIMATELY IN LIFE?

"Whenever I say, "Yes!", let me check myself..

'Am I concurring with the other to avoid argument or am I convinced of what the other person says?'

If I am concurring, it's ok for the present but if I am convinced, let me doubt myself as myself convinced of anything 100% does never exist myself leading ordinary living!"

"Why?"

"We are all learning as we live thru' our life and this learning never stops for all of us at any point of time. So when some one says something, he/she is talking in his/her middle of learning and

When I say I am convinced there it's just that his/her learning is approximately matching with that of mine at that point of time in that field. That's it!"

"Then what's wrong if I say I am convinced?"

"There's nothing wrong and it's better say that too respecting the feeling of the other in communication but myself ever remaining sure that

I should continue my learning non stop 

Which is indirectly nothing but observing myself and my surroundings constantly

For Greater Concurrence with the Universal Happenings..

In which time it happens, none knows

From infinite time to instant learning..

As told thru' the Parable often quoted,

'When the night watchman on vigil at midnight was casually repeating the words,

'Hoshiyaar.. Jagte Raho (Be alert and be awake)!',

All got up from their sleep, checked the doors for security and went back to sleep. But a young man thought,

'Am I sleeping in my life?',

Got instant awakening, 

Opened the door and 

Walked away into jungles for 

Meditation and Penance!"

PSEUDO PHILOSOPHY.. WHAT'S IT AT TIMES?

"The Great Personality used to follow 4 disciplines in His life. Out of those 4, I could easily follow one discipline. One more discipline I tried for 3 months and could follow that. Next one discipline, I am doing my best and am sure in 6 months, I can establish in that..

That way, 3 disciplines will be on my finger tips soon!"

I firmed up as I was on my morning walk..

"Nice to hear!"

Some one was heard saying from behind. I looked back. A black entity was seen looking at me continue saying..

"You know that person in the street next to yours. He follows all the 4 disciplines of the Great Personality!"

"4? How can he do that? No.. I can't allow that.. Ok.. Be seeing.. I'll.... Ok?"

"Great.. I am with you for any help. Call me at any time!"

Saying thus the black entity moved on..

I finished my walk and was returning home with the disciplines poking my head when a White Entity was seen going a little away from me..

"Hey.. You were with me sometime back but you changed clothes so fast and going away from me as if I can't recognize you?"

I queried anxiously..

"Sorry, I'm not the black entity whom you met. I'm the white one filled with 6 Positive Qualities of human being Viz.,

Disinterest, Calmness, Generosity, Clarity, Humility and Contentment..

As you have thrown away these 6 Qualities mercilessly, I am moving away from you leaving you to the black one filled with 6 negative qualities of human being Viz.,

Desire, Anger, Greed, Delusion, Pride and Jealousy!"

In distance, an inquisitive person was heard asking the Knowledgable One,

"Sir! What is Pseudo philosophy?"

THE 7 COLORS OF LIFE!

That day evening as I was on my usual stroll in my park and looked at sky in the East direction,

'The 7 Colored Beautiful Rainbow' 

Appeared in front of me uplifting my mood. As I continued looking at the Rainbow in front of me, the 7 colors of the 

The Master Piece of Nature

One by one were seen saying something. As I paid attention to their sweet talk, I could distinctly hear,

The Violet color saying,  

"Do you know? I symbolize wisdom, individuality and introspection qualities of human being!"

Indigo asserting, 

"Yes.. I symbolize devotion, intuition and justice qualities in human being!"

Blue proclaiming, 

"Sure.. I symbolize trust, loyalty and divinity qualities of human being!"

Green expressing, 

"Yes.. I symbolize calm, agreeable and tolerance qualities in human being!"

Yellow affirming, 

"Yes.. I symbolize happiness, glory and positivity qualities of human being!"

Orange saying, 

"True.. I symbolize energy, enthusiasm and warmth qualities of human being!"

And

Red beaming saying, "Sure.. I symbolize courage, martyrs and sacrifice qualities in human being!"

And beyond, they were saying in chorus,

"We 7 together symbolize,

Cleanliness, purity and Peace 

With human being!"

As the 7 beautiful colors were expressing themselves fully thus, 

The White color

Staying a bit away smiled at me

And

Wished me 

All the Best in my life!

POST 28 - CUSTOMS AND PRACTICES.. WHAT ARE THEY IN OUR LIFE? #WriteAPageADay

The Great Man forever used to carry the sacred thread on his body. People close to him who observed him for long asked,

"When you preach and practice Oneness so much, why do you still carry this piece of thread on your body?"

The Great Man smiled and said,

"Years back, my mother had tied this thread on my body with a belief in her heart that it does eternal good to me. I'll totally honor that belief of hers by ever carrying this on my body. But if the thread by itself tears off and goes, I, myself will not replace that with a new one!"

That's how Great Men and Women of my country ever carried their importance to the customs and practices of their ancestries indicating the true respect they had therein!

Every one without an exception identifies with his/her

• Parents,
• Mother tongue,
• Native place or place of his/her early years,
• Close associates,
• His/her own personal achievements etc..etc..

I am none to question there his/her identification as well as none to try altering it by force or thru' brain washing..

It's a cruel act, if I am attempting doing that and there I should point out myself and question myself

'If some trys doing that, what is my ultimate personality?'

Sure, a devastated personality..

But

Survival forces are beyond that identification, driven to corner, I am sure going to accept the change..

Keeping an individual in that state, no civilized community should do it if I call myself human being and belong to civilized community..

In this list forever comes next

My Religion/Belief as well as my Non belief

Comprising of my

POST 27 - NO DOUBT, LIFE BEGINS AT 40! #WriteAPageADay

"Agreed..The saying goes..

'Life begins at 40!'

And I concur with that in general as there is some meaning to this saying but not always. At times, I've seen people between 30 and 40 too talking/expressing like people of 50s and above. Seen in such a context, the saying is not that widely correct..

You know.. When I discussed this topic with one of my known very senior citizen, what he said in that context?

'Dear! What you said may be true for some people when they were about to reach 40 say from 37 and above onwards roughly exceptions extending to few years below. But all such cases may not be really out of true maturity but out of something lacking of that!'

I am sure there is something wrong with this senior to say so. At late 60s, he assesses people with him and talks thus. I don't know how people call him a highly matured person. It's not right to think that being senior, he knows everything. Better, we cross check sometimes on what he talks..

I tell you there can't be such great age bar in all these and the statement said is just a generalized statement. For some, maturity can sure come at a young age itself and some may not get that concept even at 50 and above. That's my final assessment!"

Thus was talking a gentleman of early 30s..

Heard later in a private conversation of some of the very senior citizens..

"That person of early 30s, is really a bit insensitive and lacks maturity. For everything almost, he comes forward and says he knows. Knowing is okay and that's not that great, but

When to talk,
Where to talk and most importantly

knowing well that a person of more of his age can't have lesser maturity even if the person had chosen to be dumb in dealing with many issues of life and talking in front of those ages and the issues irrelevant to that age

Itself shows that he is immature the other way and he needs lots of advising not to open his talk thus in certain places!"

POST 26 - POINTING OUT #WriteAPageADay

"You know that close cousin of mine.. Last Sunday, we visited the famous.... and this person's house is very close to that place. I rang up to him and said we have come on a holiday to see.... and enquired his welfare.. 

I expected that he would call us home since we came so much distance and in fact went there with a preparation too to see him and spend sometime with his family. But to our surprise, he said he was very busy, just enquired about us and cut the phone!"

"Dear!  This person might have behaved wrongly but forget about the incident and start living your normal life. That's always better!"

"What are you saying, Sir?  How can I forget this? I agree that he was busy and he could not stop his immediate works for me. But is that the way to reply and keep the phone down? He should have at least called us home even though he might be going away on his busy work. Why this min courtesy was lacking with him? I tell you he deliberately did that. It's all very clear here!"

"I agree that you are hurt with all this but still the better way of keeping this relationship is...."

"See Sir, I'm not a saint here to forgive the wrong doings of the other person which hurt me deep. I very much feel here that even if nothing would have been possible too, he could have simply invited us some time later to his house and.... How can he forget his basic duty very much there in our relationship which often every one speaks of?"

"No dear!  I don't mean all that and do what you like since it's your freedom here and you too should behave in a way that he does not take you easy.. 

Leaving that single action remember, 

It is said when one points at the other person with a feeling of revenge, 3 fingers of that person are doing the same to that one reminding the default action in this scenario from that individual.. 

Meaning.. Concentrating on tit for tat.. Are you getting it?"

"xxxxx?"

"What exactly he had done now, you too are planning to do the same at the back of this revenge feeling in you defaulting on yours the same basic duty towards him. If he is very much wrong in such an action, then I can say with a 100% confidence that you too are equally wrong in your such decision.. 

How as an honest listener and adviser I can tick you here as right while striking him off as the wrong doer?
