THE IN AND OUT OF POWER!

It was a tense moment..

The person repeatedly looked around desperately..

No solace was found..

Time ticked on and on..

The moments of tension continued..

"What is the solution?"

Was the question..

Suddenly, there was a Message from within..

"The tense moment is a fact as that is based on the life you lived so far!"

"Did I do something wrong in the past?"

"Not wrong but.. Yes.. The tension is the out come of expectations in life and fear of not able to meet them!"

"So, what's the way here?"

"Following 

'THE GOLDEN WAY OF 6 R's!'

"What is that?"

"Expectations and meeting those is totally not under your control even though livining reasonable there many times is possible..

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.. A RE-LOOK INTO MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY! #BlogchatterBlogHop

 

I was in class 7. I had an option of speaking on a subject in my Elocution Period. I avoided giving my name. My father came to know about that, straight away met my Class Teacher and included my name..

"I don't like giving speech in front of my friends!"

I pleaded..

"You should develop these skills. Avoiding is no solution. Select one of topics given, prepare well and speak out!"

Ordered my dad. I murmured within..

I was in class 9. I had to give my name for a Voluntary Service. I avoided that. My father came to know that, went to my school and straight way gave my name..

"I have to concentrate on my studies. These come in my way!"

I said..

"Try manage both. You should involve in such works once in a way!"

Clarified my father saying indirectly that there was no go there. I was angry but kept quiet..

I was in my 12th class. I concentrated, wrote the local competitive exam and was through. My father made me apply for other competition exams too where I was eligible and write those exams..

"Why all these when I am sure of my local exam?"

I asked..

"You should know what competition is!"

Explained my father..

"This way, I am confused!"

I replied. My dad kept quiet..

I had my selection of job wherein out of the two local postings I got, one had less Pay and 6 month training outside my city..

"This Company is better than the other even though they pay less initially and have training away from Headquarters. Select this one. it is a good start in your Career!"

Said my father..

"When the other Company is paying more and their training is only for 3 months that too locally, why all this unnecessary work? I want to join the second Company!"

I asserted..

"Do what I say. There is good in that for you in the long run!"

Assured my dad..

I moved out reluctantly for 6 months, had my training and was posted back to my city. I was the happiest person on the first day of going for my Job. My dad silently wished me the best. I returned late in the evening quite tired and was resting in my room. All the time I was silent. My dad asked what had happened at my first day of work..

I said, 

"They showed my place and assigned me some Work. I had to continuously do that all the eight hrs till the last minute the office closed except for lunch and tea rreaks. That's all, nothing great!"

"Yes, dear, relax now! You are at your best. All these days, my constant worry was to put you in this line which was never one day's work. It's a total build up from scratch from the time you entered your school. You might have resisted many times, but finally co-operated and joined in every activity I insisted..

Ultimately good is done to you, to your personality and to your Career!"

Said my father with a smile on his face and a pat on my back!

A GLIMPSE INTO WISDOM IN HUMAN LIFE AND THE LACK OF IT!

• Wisdom lacks when desire rules!

• Initially desire appears, wisdom prevails; subsequently desire establishes, wisdom struggles; finally desire rules, wisdom vanishes!

• Wisdom and clarity are close friends; desire and confusion are bosom friends!

• Wise people remain humble; unwise people claim they are humble!

• The wise shut their mouth and allow not the secret rule them; the unwise open their mouth succumbing to the fancy of secret, giving it free hand to reign them!

• The unwise affirm they are wise all the time, the wise doubt their wisdom during that time!

• Wisdom and calmness, the two jewel with human being eliminate many misconceptions of life!

• The wise are ever careful of the content of their talk; the unwise are ever bothered about their style in talking!

• The wise most of the time remain silent but extend a helping hand non stop; the unwise talk volumes and volumes and expect help next moment!

• The golden words ever dancing on the lips of the wise are..

"Let me know!";

The harsh words ever ruling the lips of the unwise are

"I know!"

Keyword: WISDOM

LET ME BE NEITHER THIS EXTREME NOR THAT EXTREME!

Two people were more straight forward in expressing..

"Be wise.. Extremities are never good!"

People around used to advise them..

"God will take care!"

Used to be their unique reply with a smile..

"Before God takes care, your opponent may set right things. Once damage is done, it's painful get up and stand!"

Was equally the people's caution..

On a day, certain tiff went beyond, a rowdy sheeter surfaced and the 2  were roughed up beyond. Subsequent to that, the two were recovering slowly, there were many queries..

"Where's your God now? In what way you got the help?"

"Because God had taken care, I am left at this stage!"

Were the replies of both.. Of course,

One with true humility justifying his wise doing

But

The other with pain within covering up his unwise doing!

Asserting the right way of living, on distant loud speakers Sloka 35, Chapter III of Srimad Bhagavad Gita was heard being recited melodiously with the meaning explained in parallel..

'Shreyan swadharmo vigunah paradharmaat swanusshthitaat
Swadharme nidhanam shreyah paradharmo bhayaavahah.'

'Ever safe is one’s own duty than the duty of another even well discharged. Better is even death in one’s own duty than the duty of another full of fear!'

Ultimately meaning.. 

One should repeatedly check his/her level of stamina and endurance to withstand a tough situation, before firming up on asserting and facing the same!

THE 'BLESSING' IN DISGUISE.. 'ALWAYS CLAIMING LESS!'

 

"All the issues are crystal clear and under full control!"

"Never expand and say that so easily!"

"But that is a fact!"

"Things 100% clear and Ok today, at times come out with a doubt and slip tomorrow!"

"So?"

"Always believe yourself a bit less!"

"I am confused!"

"Dear! 'Clear' and 'Ok' are relative terms with us..

What is clear to me, may not be clear to others,

What is Ok today, may not be Ok tomorrow,

And

What is clear and Ok in the present situation may not be clear and Ok if the situation changes!"

"Means?"

"Means, instead of saying 

'All the issues are crystal clear and under full control!'

Say 

"Things are well under control. Any way, I am monitoring constantly and there is no issue!"

That way,

You are taking care of the time element involved,

You are taking care of the wrong interpretations if any done and lastly

You are taking care of your job too

As

If you firmly say that everything is 100% clear and Ok on the issue with you which of course, as I clarified is not correct, what job you will have from tomorrow?"
