SURE, WORK IS WORSHIP! #BlogchatterHalfMarathon 2.0

• Myself Working hard is similar to

Me Praying to God deep in my heart singing the Famous Devotional Songs like..

'Just think of Lord Rama and Devi Sita,
THAT IS THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE..
Think of them with love or due to fear of death,
THAT IS THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE..
Think of them in prosperity and in adversity..
THAT IS THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE..
Let not a day be passed in pursuit of wealth only and think of them..
THAT IS THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE..
Render all those spiritual songs of theirs in perfect Sruti of Tambura, in correct Laya of Mrudangam and in musical Ragam and listen to those songs..
THAT IS THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE..
Sing Keertanas of theirs along with other devotees jumping in ecstasy..
THAT IS THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE!'

"I

• Worked,
• Contributed,
• Supervised,
• Managed,
• Controlled,
• Ruled and
• Advised..

Alas! Age took over me and I am sidelined!"

Said one sadly..

"I

• Worked,
• Contributed,
• Supervised,
• Managed,
• Controlled,
• Ruled and
• Advised..

Sure.. Age took over me but I am contented!"

Said the other with a smile..

There was a Clarification from Skies..

"In life.. one

• Worked Soft,
• Contributed Exact,
• Supervised Light,
• Managed Fighting,
• Controlled with Iron hand
• Ruled Sternly and
• Advised Harshly..

No go.. Age took over there and that person feels sidelined as those actions all along remained

SELFISH.  Where as the other

'FINE..NO PROBLEM.. GO AHEAD.. EVERYTHING IS OK!' #BlogchatterHalfMarathon 2.0

 A man found his associate doing wrong, expected a change in his associate and accordingly advised him on the change..

• The associate instantly promised to change, appeared too changed but in a short time turned around and zeroed down with no change in him.. 

Subsequently, he offered a benefit to the associate for a change..

• The associate again agreed to change, appeared too changed but in a short time turned around and zeroed down with no change in him.. 

Next, he created a competition for the associate to change..

• The associate once again attempted to change, appeared too changed but in a short time turned around and zeroed down with no change in him.. 

In the end, he created a fear in the associate of certain consequences if not changed soon..

• The associate instantly appeared changed, continued showing the change but in a short time turned around zeroed down with no change in him!

Not knowing what to do further, the man approached the wise man and asked him how to bring the change in his associate.. The wise man advised,

"Leave him to continue his way of living and where he expects you to say something on what he is doing, simply use the words..

• 'Fine.. No problem.. Go ahead.. Everything is OK!' 

Without a single negative comment from your end on his actions!"

The man took the advice and soon started acting that way..

• That looked initially encouraging to his associate with a 100% surety with him on what he was doing,
• But soon made him doubt a small part of his actions,
• Further in time that rose with increased confidence in more right and
• Finally settled firmly at a point of action with the distinct change in him his confidence firming up at that level!

The man again approached the wise man and said that the full effect was not there in his associate in spite of following his advice. The wise man said,

"That's the ultimate right!"

"Sir! How can it be? I distinctly see even now that my associate is in the wrong line!"

The man questioned. The wise man replied with a smile..

"Dear! Absolute Truth for ordinary mortals is

SEEN NEVER IN FULL

But

EVER SEEN IN PART..

Here,

• I may holding to the trunk and feeling accordingly,
• You may be holding to the leg and feeling accordingly and
• Your associate may be holding to the tail and feeling accordingly..

With none of us truly knowing what an elephant is..

In such a scenario, each one is right in his/her own way and each one is wrong in his/her own way and I am no way superior to the other

• However knowledgeable I may be, 
• However great I may be and 
• However aged I may be!

DANCING OF THE SINGLE WORD IN MY HEART, THE WORLD EVER LOVES TO WATCH! #BlogchatterHalfMarathon 2.0

"I have my own powers. I'll set right things in the world at one stroke!"

"Check yourself!"

"What checking? None can question my powers!"

"Check yourself!"

"What nonsense? Don't I know my powers?"

"Check yourself!"

"Ok.. I am checking.. A single phone call from my end sets right...."

"Check yourself!"

"Too much.. What is that I should check myself?"

"Where do your powers lie?"

"Funny.. Ok.. If I order, that will be taken by the world next to me word by word, without uttering a single word and I get done what I want!"

"You know, the world ever worships and loves to accept only one word from anyone all the time?"

"Non sense.. I talk hundreds of words. People listen to every word of my talk nodding their heads and follow that to the root!"

"That is time bound attitude!"

"Ok.. Let it be time bound.. I don't care.. In my regime, none can utter a single word against me and stop taking the words of orders I give out!"

"What is the time of your regime of words in this world?"

"What do you mean? Years to go.. Not a year or 2!"

"After that?"

"I don't care!"

"Where do you go at that point of time? You should be among people only!"

"What?"

"Yes, dear! Another powerful person takes over your role and people start listening to the words of that person sidelining you and your words with a finger stroke!"

"Means.."

"Then not a single word, many, many words will be spoken against you for the ill deeds if you do when in power. You need to swallow all those words, still smile and keep mum, no go!"

"God! Terrifying!"

"So, isn't it better, you avoid being hit with so many never expected as well as piercing thru' your heart words for which you can just smile and keep mum, nothing more?"

"Can't think of!"

"Yes! dear! Can't think of now but sure there will be a day you need to see that happening!"

"Sir! Tell me what to do now. I just can't leave all this with me!"

"You needn't leave as well as you shouldn't leave too, the actions required from your end. But where it is evident to you and you feel you should do it,

Let a single word alone be dancing in your heart as much!"

"What is that one word, Sir?"

"It's the Sacred Word next to human beings..
Does good everywhere, never lets down a person..
And
Ever Gods love Actions of that Word for

LOK KALYAN!"

"What's that word, Sir?"

"It is.. SELF-SACRIFICE!"

In distance, a student was heard repeating aloud certain Proverbs and Quotes on Self-Sacrifice..

• There is no glory without sacrifice. (Filipino Proverb)
• Self-sacrifice is the real miracle out of which all reported miracles grow. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)
• Nothing so much enhances a good as to make sacrifices for it. (George Santayana)
• Sweat plus sacrifice equals success. (Charlie Finley)
• In general, the man who is readily disposed to sacrifice himself is one who does not know how else to give meaning to his life. (Cesare Pavese)

TIMELY ADVICE.. FOR WHOM? #BlogchatterHalfMarathon 2.0

That day for the Morning Session, the Senior Executive of the Company was invited to deliver lecture on the Topic

Customer Care in the Organization.. 

The gentleman got ready, soon reached the Spot and having a brief interaction with others, started speaking on the subject non stop for an hr and finally ended his talk saying..

"Do you know? My

CUSTOMER is ever embedded in my 8 Point Dedicated Care starting with letters C, U, S, T, O, M, E and R and that discipline forever goes thus..

• Caring for him/her as I care for myself, all along avoiding comparing my life style with that of my Customer..
• Understanding what he/she says with full attention as it is ever my duty to do that without a second thought..
• Stabilizing all the practices involved in doing his/her works ever avoiding using the word ‘Sorry!’ 
• Together moving endlessly at the same time keeping required distance too..
• Organizing all the works to the best of my capabilities as he/she will surely be advertising on my behalf for many future Customers..
• Meeting his/her requirement in time to the point as me alone is capable of doing that with ease and care..
• Evaluating the best practices of interactions ever remaining alert to say, 'Yes, Madam/Sir!' on all expected phone calls

And

• Reorienting all my personal talks ever remembering that there is no close friendship in a Customer relation!

Ok.. I told you what attitude we need to have when we deal with our Customer. My final say here is..

The Customer is God

For us and let us pledge that we do no less for our Customer!"

The Speech ended with thunderous applause and the Senior Executive  soon moved on to his Office in his Official Car..

That evening after the close of shift hrs, as the Senior Executive was returning home, on the way the smartphone rang smartly and the 

TIMELY ADVICE 

Too went on smartly..

"Yeah.. Speaking.. Oh.. Is it? Ok.. Ok.. Do one thing.. Manage the whole issue yourself and don't put me in the loop as I am already tired of attending today's lengthy Program. If required, tell a nice story to our person and..... Ok?"

THE UNKNOWN JOY IN MY HEART.. WHEN DOES THAT TRULY SURFACE? #BlogchatterHalfMarathon 2.0

That evening as part of daily routine, I left my footwear, washed my feet and face and entered the temple premises..

Was the No 1 reminder from God to me..

• "Your family is the No 2 Temple next to you. Have you taken care of your family to the best of your abilities? Promise yourself to improve in that direction as much feasible!"

Was the next reminder from the Lord as I started doing my Pradakshinas round the Idol..

• "Your Work Spot is the No 3 Temple, Nature organized for you. Have you done your work with all dedication? Promise yourself to improve in that direction as much feasible!"

Was one more reminder from the Almighty as I cleaned the floor around me, sat there and started the Prayer closing my eyes..

• "Certain minimum Financial discipline is must with you devoid of greed nor laxity. Promise yourself to do the required in that direction with full attention!"

Was the then silent reminder from the Lord as I completed my Prayer..

• "Have you spent some time relaxing yourself involving in what interests you and what is legally permitted? Promise yourself to do the required in that direction minimum feasible!"

Was the gentle reminder from the God as I got up and rang the Sacred Bell 3 times..

• Expressing yourself in an artistic way is the need of hour in your life. Promise yourself involve in that direction as much feasible!"

Was the then quiet reminder from the Lord as I was taking the Aarti..

• "Charity done elevates you in your life without a say. Promise to do the best in that direction as much feasible!"

Was the important reminder from the Almighty as I was taking the Theertham offered..

• "Respecting the religious practices of others without an exception is one of your duties. Promise yourself to do the best in that direction as much feasible!"

Was the valuable reminder from the Lord as I bowed down to offer my Salutations..

• "Have you spent certain of your time in Caring for others? Promise yourself to do something in that direction, however small it be!"

Was the subtle reminder from the Almighty as I started leaving the Place..

• "Include the above discipline in your day to day life and come to Me to Offer your Prayers, you are truly Blessed!

Was the final reminder from the Almighty as I came out of the Temple Premises and headed home filled with an unknown joy in my heart!

THE STORY OF KHEER!

 

"Chachu.. Shall I tell you a story?"

"Yes, dear.. Go ahead!"

"It's an old story, Chachu.. I modified it!"

"Modified? Great Beta.. Love to hear that!"

"One day, to a man in a village, the astrologer said,

'Today, you invite harm by consuming harmless kheer!'

Not believing that, the man reached home and to his surprise, he found his mom preparing kheer..

“Last week, because of some urgent work, I couldn't celebrate your Birthday. Today, I decided to do it with some kheer!"

She said..

A bit confused, he hastily left home promising his mom that he would return in some time, headed to the near by woods, climbed a tree and rested there on a branch deciding not to get down till sunset..

In some time, a person came there and rested under the tree for shade. After some time, he opened his bag and took out a tin.. Oh.. It was kheer..

Suddenly 2 thieves came that side and seeing them in distance, the man ran away leaving his tin of kheer. One thief saw the kheer and said to other,

"We are hungry. Let's consume this!"

The other said,

"I doubt some trap is laid here to catch us. This is not sweet kheer but poison. Let us search, the man who wanted to catch us may be hiding around!"

Saying thus, He searched around, looked up and saw the man there directly above. Both thieves pulled him down and holding him said,

"Do you want to poison us? Now consume this kheer yourself!"

"No.. No.. No!"

The man resisted out of panic. The thieves beat him and made him drink the sweet dish!

The Astrologer's words came true..

'Today, you invite harm by consuming harmless kheer!'"

"Ha.. Ha.. Ha.. Oh! So nice, Beta.. Your creation is wonderful!"

"Thank you Chachu.. I am happy you liked it!"
