POST 12 - SENIORITY IN SERVICE! #WriteAPageADay

“Sir! Being a senior member at work, I'm not compensated properly by my Company in respect of my promotion/s and salary. I feel sad. How can my Management do this to me by not giving due weight-age to my seniority in the Organization?"

"Dear! I understand your problem and I too wish that your management should have taken care of you properly in giving timely promotion/s..

When we look at the importance of seniority in service, it is instantly evident that the employee at work over years of service..

Becomes an expert in the related skills of his/her field and thus automatically would know the ‘IN’ and ‘OUT’ ofhis/her work.. 

Further to that, 

He/she also matures himself/herself in the general management of day to day issues at and around in the work area.. 

And 

In general, a sort of maturity in life too joins all that in the back ground..

The above 3 together is called

'The Seniority in Service' in the Employment Arena..

This seniority, has it's own value at work and continues to enjoy all the support and benefits in the work area provided..

The employee is honest at his/her work, exerts without hesitation and follows all the rules and regulations to core

And

The employee does not suffer from any serious disabilities or health problems like

A Senior Caterer of a Catering Service when attacked by severe cold too is forced to keep off from active serving and if the cold becomes chronic, may have to be out of catering service itself..

He/she is not too much out-dated in his/her's skills as in such cases the new entrants become more useful in the same job like

An old Potter having no job amidst the use of coolers..

At the backdrop of such a work life, one's seniority carries its respect and value in the Organization and will generally be compensated well in all such cases..

It's unfortunate that your Management is delinquent in this aspect in spite of you being satisfying all the above conditions at your employment but beyond a point they too are not at fault because..

It's the concept of free enterprise everywhere in the field of employment except in few services and certain specific appointments and the employer out of own freedom can still choose some one else for his/her work in your place but

Here you too have a 100% chance to continue with your present employer or not.. 

Your contract of appointment can just be closed with the issue of a certain notice period from either side as per the terms and conditions of your appointment and you can take up similar senior position in the contemporary organization/s at the back of your rich work experience..

Why are you not thinking on these lines if you really want to give true regard and value to your senior status?"

INDEPENDENT BLOGGING.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?

Truth known is both unchangeable as well as changeable..

The change or no change depends on the time element which ever remains dynamic and never rests even for infinitesimal time..

The Great Saint Proclaimed,

'Truth is as hard as stone equally as soft as butter!'

Whenever the Great Personalities proclaim something, it's out of a Great Love for humanity they say that..

Myself, the ordinary personality, is at infinite distance away from the Original Truth and as such I can't 100% understand why the Great Saints say so..

But that never keeps me off from the Sacred Probing ever next to me which the Great Men and Women of the world ever insisted one to do..

As I start doing that Probing into all that around me, I'll have my own perceptions of the Original Truth known to me as relative truth..

Thru' that relative truth alone I'd be communicating with the world and every individual next to me too would be doing similar Probing as well as communicating..

Here, there is often clash of ideals of people and when that happens, there is a desire in me to win over the other person but

If I really firm up, I can sure restrain my saying and accept what the other person says at his/her own level..

When I start doing that, I sure experience what the Great Saint said.. Viz.,

Accepting whole heartedly what the other person says gently correcting him/her if possible with all softness (simile used is soft butter)

But without fail

Sticking endlessly to Truth I perceive in my actions with all firmness (simile used is hard rock)..

Independent Blogs for ever talk on these lines of seeing Truth, so to say Relative Truth, as perceived by the Writer/Blogger and the related good will be done to the humanity and life in general..

Seen thus, the tempo of my writing should go on as a Blogger but I should ever be ready to change that I perceive endlessly as my understanding of Truth is dynamic in this life and moves up and up endlessly; never down at any point of time in this life, the Original Truth remaining ever

A Reference to me alone..

Another example set by the Great Personality in this context goes in this direction..

When confronted with rowdy elements, He hid Himself in the Police Control Room and subsequently on the advice of the Chief there escaped in disguise in front of the protesters..

Making it evident that protecting oneself becomes the primary duty and in that context anything done stands the right!

But the same Personality made it clear subsequent to the incident saying,

• "I don't know why I did that way at that point of time but this moment left to me, I am ready to surrender to my protesters and face their wrath rather than escape discretely!"

Making once again clear that none should act less when truly imbibed with an Inner Strength to face certain threat!

POST 11 - LEARNING IS TIMELESS! #WriteAPageADay

A middle aged Manager was a little unhappy that at work as one of his young Assistants even though most of the times was listening to him and following what he said, at times refused to heed to his advise if not the Order..

He expected his Assistants to take his advice on all issues which he generally gave out of his maturity for their own benefit..

On one of the days, the Manager met a Senior Colleague and brought the issue to his notice. He wanted to know what exactly was making the young man a little adamant not to listen to him on some of the welfare issues..

The Senior person was a good Mentor and a person of deep thinking and wisdom. He listened to his friend’s problem, paused a while and said, 

“My dear! I understand the personality of this young man as I too observed his actions from time to time. He is not simply a person of principles like you. He is an individual who is able to perceive the deeper Truth in many of the advices and actions around.. 

Most of the time, your principles meant good for the people and society were in line with Truth and so the young man follows them but for you it appears as if he had followed your advice.. 

In a few, your advice may lack Truth. In such cases alone he does not heed to your advice. Actually in all issues with him, he follows a discipline nearer to Truth whether you tell him or not.”

The Manager was taken a back. He said, 

"It is surprising.. I valued my principles so much from my childhood, lived all my life strictly adhering to them and never encountered an opposition. How can they lack Truth?”

The wise man smiled and said, 

“I do not say so. But I want to say that 

Sticking to principles in life is different from perceiving the Truth

Sometimes they both differ because Truth is Unique and principles have the color of individual ego.. 

There alone, this young man differs.. 

Truly speaking, the right way here is to support him in all such cases and be ready to learn from him and modify our own principles in life rather than 

Exhibiting our ego and ending up playing the 'Power Games' on him!”

POST 10 - WHOLESOMENESS IS PEACE; DIVISION IS PAIN! #WriteAPageADay

Two gentlemen with two distinct problems of theirs in their life visited the Head of an Ashram on the same day at the same time seeking a solution for the peculiar problems they faced. The Head welcomed both and listened to their problems together with their permission. After hearing, He said to them,

"Be disciplined in your life for about 3 months on the lines of truth best known to you and come back to me!"

The 2 gentlemen took permission and left the place.

On the day the Saint mentioned, the two re-visited Him at His Place. One was seen happy and cheerful; the other as usual was sad. When asked by the Saint how their disciplined life was going on, the sad looking person said,

“Sir, I've done my best here. I don't know, still my problem persists!”

The cheerful man said,

“Sir! You opened up my eyes. I could clearly see my mistake here. Now, there's no problem!”

The Saint blessed them both further advising to continue the disciplined life. After they left, a disciple observing all that urged his Master to tell him what would have happened in the 2 cases. The Head smiled and said,

“Dear! The basic indiscipline of an individual along with a tendency to expand in life beyond is the root cause of all evils of life and the problems related to day to day dealings in life take birth from not able to see the correction required here from one's end..

Here the happy man with my advice could see instantly this indiscipline and expanding tendency in him as his real problem. Having understood that firmly, without much brooding over his troubling problem he sincerely started doing that whatever required in the situation with a smile and new vigor..

In that way, he automatically became disciplined both inward as well as outward..

The other man could not grasp that in depth and is continuously seeing his problem and his indiscipline as two different issues with him even today. Thus, for him, the problem continued at his psychological level even though he became a 100% disciplined but only at the physical level.

In that way he is totally untouched at the psychological level wherein the original craving for a superior feeling still continues! 

Of course here in both cases, I only told them continue this living further, that's all..

The cheerful man is lucky but the sad one has no go other than wait patiently for the dawn of that Unique Understanding in him!"

THE DIVINE GRACE!

Mother Earth is so kind..

Had a leg sprain and was advised to walk on cement floor without ups and downs.

Walked directly on ground,

The ups and downs of ground in no time brought back the leg to

The original position!

The God of Skies is so educative..

Looked direct into skies,

The Vastness in front instantly showed me

How small I am in this world!

The God of Fire is so helpful..

Lost my way in darkness and lit a small fire,

That tiny glow made me reach my destination safe..

The God of Air is so supportive..

Was surround by too many odd smells 

Few repulsive ones hitting me hard..

One gentle blow on to me,

Took away all those nauseating ones leaving

Beautiful fragrance next to me!

The God of Seas is so accommodative..

Saw vast unhealthy stuff flow into the seas,

Next moment, 

The sea absorbed everything drenching me with 

Waters taking out my blues!

In this life,

The Panch Bhootas 

Surround me extending on me,

The Divince Grace

Endless,

Forever doing unknown good to

My body and Soul!

POST 9 - THE RIGHT PLACE FOR THE 'INDISPENSABLE PERSONALITY!' #WriteAPageADay

“Sir! This is the Offer Letter of my new job and this is my resignation letter. Please accept it and relieve me at the earliest!"

“What Mr Ganesh! you are leaving? What's less here, dear? The work is interesting and prospects are good. Please think over. We'll see what best can be done for exceptional people like you. Can you give me some time?”

No go, the Manager's resignation was accepted soon and in few days, he was relieved. The next day his Assistant was with the Boss..

“Sir! Every one knows that Mr Ganesh was the backbone of the present activities in our Dept. He started all this from scratch and brought to this level. His leaving is sure a big loss for all of us. Why didn’t our Management think of retaining him? For a few extra Rupees, we lost such a good and required person in our Department!”

“Yes, Dear! I agree to your point and Our Chief also tried his best to pay max here. More than that we can't compensate him in this case. If he wants more, he has to go!”

“Why so, Sir?”

“See.. In business, monies are precious and they are always limited. Our salaries depend not only on the

Profits of our Company

But also on the

The annual turnover,
The Orders on hand and
Those in the pipeline!

All these parameters together decide the salary structure in any Company and there would be almost little cushion to accommodate any changes as the worth of the business itself is at that level in the Market..

If a person is offered more salary elsewhere means, he is shifting to a business of higher worth where such salaries fit in correctly. So Mr Ganesh's place from now onwards is in such Companies only and never with us..

Whatever be this man’s worth, our business monies can't accommodate such a costly man. Instead of becoming useful to us, soon he becomes a burden on the Company which indirectly means that our Customers are forced to pay heavily for getting their job done..

Our aim forever is that our business prospers. If he is not there, another one in his place struggles and learns to do the work for the same salary or sometimes even for less too!”

While leaving the Boss smiled and said,

"No problem, I sensed this long back and already made arrangements for the impending change. You'll soon see that!"

A WEEK'S WEAKNESS!

Monday's Musing:

'Hard work pays!' I believe. Easy work stays with me endless!

Tuesday's Take: 

I think I am calm when I remain silent thru' a smile; rarely I know that there is a volcano behind my that smile!

Wednesday's Wordings:

I feel I am perfect;I don't know that the imperfect 'me' only says that!

Thursday's Thought:

Time management is truly an expertise; often I am an expert allowing it slip away from me!

Friday's Finding:

I say I love the world; I love myself maximum!

Saturday's Say:

I am a speck in the Universe; Often I expand with a feeling I am everywhere!

Sunday's Seriousness:

From whatever angle seen, I am right; rarely I look at myself and see my wrong!
