THE STORY BEHIND 

THE RELIGION/CASTE BASED POLITICS! 

The citizen mused.. 

'I distinctly enjoy a 100% 2 freedoms in my life under the democratic ruling in practice in my country..

The no 1 of that being my freedom of expression in my life! 

When I proceed to talk on any specific issue, the concerned Specialist group challenges me on lack of experimentation from my side.. 

When I talk 'what is what' about any ruling issues, the powerful around stop me from doing that through a threat of physical attack.. 

When I talk of any general issue around, the concerned group invariably stops me from doing that through a threat of litigation.. 

When I try to talk as a representative of my own group, my group Head gives me guidelines on what to talk.. 

I am left with to talk freely only what I learnt in my schooling and feel safe which 
no one objects, no one questions and no one modifies! 

Thus I enjoy my freedom of expression for a full 5 yr term being constantly tossed upon the frying pan from end to the end with the freedom from which end to which end being totally my choice alone when 

The second freedom of mine.. The Right to Vote surfaces!

Here in, I'll be free to elect my Ruling Rep again for getting tossed upon the frying pan for the next 5 yrs but 
Electing the Rep sure saves me from directly falling into the fire below my pan 
As that process indirectly prevents the readily waiting dictator to take over once for all making me lose both the freedoms at one stroke.. 
Else no regrets..

Let the caste/religion based politics be part and parcel of my life!'

THE TRUE STORY OF A MAGIC WAND!


That night I was restless.. 

Yes.. I want to help the difficult and less privileged people around me max and bring a meaning to their living in the fastest way.

But I was constantly discouraged here not to overdo and advised to be in the right path.

'That soon made me rage within.. 

Why can't I do a good thing straight away? 

The people are sure stopping me to bring in the faster change; I don't know why!'

‘Give me a magic wand and I will bring a drastic change to the social surroundings the next moment!'
I thought.

Lo.. To my surprise.. 
The next moment the wand was in my hands.
'Yes..This's what I wanted and
None can stop me now from doing what I wanted!'

In no time, 
I wielded my wand with certain numbers in the list and
That change I wanted instantly materialized.
Yeah! Truly a great achievement; isn't it?

What next?

Let me include more and more numbers and bring the great change in their lives.. 
Sure.. That too soon happened in no time..

What next?

Yes.. Include more.. more and more! 

Wait.. What's happening?
Where are those more and more numbers here?
The wand had sure done it's job perfectly and wiped out all those differences in no time..
With no more numbers left and peace ruling everywhere!

But without numbers, what further is there for me to do in this life?
No.. I don't allow it.. I shouldn't allow it!
Then?

It's simple.. Let me create the numbers required..
I have the magic wand and I can sure do what I want..
More numbers than earlier!

Suddenly I woke of from my deep sleep..
God.. It was a dream only.. But sure a very bad dream!

The Unbalance in Nature is a fact and no doubt, setting right as much as possible is my task here
But that sacred work ever is thru' 
2 noble traits of me alone with
nothing less and nothing more of it too at any time Viz.,

Lessening my self interest all along and
Putting in my efforts max in the direction required!

They alone bring the true harmony in living by reducing the gap between haves and have nots in this world.. 
And my life should continue thus here all along with a firm belief that

I am not the doer but I do my job well!

THE TRUTH OF MY OWN UNDERSTANDING AND THE UNTRUTH OF MY OWN IGNORANCE!

*** When the Contemporary Philosopher was approached by the grieving lady who requested Him to help her bring back her dead husband alive as she could not cope up with the separation, the Great Man remarked,

  • "Can you please tell me which husband of yours you want alive?"
Stunned with His questioning, the lady looked at the Philosopher not able to make out the meaning of His asking thus.

The Great Man said,

  • "Your husband from the time he was born on the earth to the time he passed away was sure a different individual at every moment of his life. I want to know which of these infinite personalities you want in front of you at this moment?"
The lady instantly understood that as change is an ever green aspect of one's life, death automatically becomes one instance of that change and yearning for constancy there indirectly has no meaning ultimately. That soon made her feel light and helped her freeing herself partly of her grief.

*** When the grieving mother approached the Lord asking him to bring back her succumbed child and take off her pain, the Great Saint asked her to fetch a handful of mustard seeds by borrowing from any house which never witnessed sorrow in the times known.

The lady instantly moved from house to house to get the item asked by the Lord. People were ready to relieve her pain by lending their mustered seeds but when informed of the other condition there, every one expressed their own limitation there as sure they experienced certain sorrow in their life thru' the separation of one of the family members.

  • She finally returned empty handed but no doubt with a better understanding that death is common to all those born which truly balances the existing ecology 'as is' around!
*** When Prince Yudhisthira was asked a final question by Lord Yaksha,

"What is the strangest part of man's living on the earth?"

He instantly answered,
  • "What is born is sure to die in this world. Strangely, man forgets this Truth very much in front every moment, continues his thinking that he is permanent here and thus lives his life!"
Whenever I look at such Great Revelations made by the Great Personalities of Earth from time to time who all along lived a life of Truth, I may temporarily be carried over by that Truth and it may sure appear to me that I could understand this and that's all the living of life with me in front..

Thus a type of emotion sets in me but sure it is temporary and short lived only as my inner nature in no time mesmerizes me that life is permanent on the earth and accordingly I start moving with my activities.

This truly is the Power of Illusion with me and just because something is clear to me at mind level, it never means that I am the embodiment of that Understanding. Thus, all Great Personalities who are/were truly Embodiment of this Truth can sure inspire me in this direction thru' their preachings and living but really can never take me to that Truth level which ultimately I myself alone have to do.

Till that time, the IndiSpire Topic If you could bring back someone from the other side of the rainbow bridge for just one day, would you do that?#defeatingdeathforaday

forever remains with me as truth of my own understanding as well as the untruth of my own ignorance and that life I got to live here never able to answer the IndiSpire question with a 100% surety.

No doubt my life should continue at this level thus thru' time in front at the back of nothing but a dedicated and honest work diligently discharging the ordained responsibilities of mine all along which no doubt lessens/partly removes my ignorance in this life paving way for dawn of certain truth which aspect of course again finally is thru' the Grace of Almighty alone..

Thus seen the life in front, let me without an iota of doubt do my job to the best level known to me, offer a sincere Prayer for the Ultimate Illumination and remain in peace!'

THE 'MIN QUALIFICATION' REQUIRED FOR ENTRY INTO SPIRITUAL FIELD!

3 young men once approached a Saint in an Ashram and requested Him to accept them as His disciples.. The Master gave them a 'Single Instruction' to complete a particular task and report to Him after a fortnight on the progress. All the 3 moved on accordingly, spent that time on the task assigned and at length returned. The 1st young man said,

“Reverend Sir! I couldn't exactly do the job you asked a 100% but completed in a limited way!"

The Master said,

  • "You could have at least done to the level I advised!" 
The young man replied,

"I was afraid of the consequences of doing thus!”

The Master looked at the 2nd one.. He said,

“Reverend Sir! I could do the job you asked a 100%!"

The Master said,

  • "You could have done a little more than I advised!" 
The young man replied,

"I was afraid of the consequences of doing thus!”

The Master looked at the 3rd young man.. He said,

“Master! I started doing the job you asked me to do. But soon I was convinced of a better way of doing there with a certain associated risk and as I couldn't do anything less in that context, I firmed up and completed the job in that direction!"

The Master said,
  • "But I never asked you to do all that!"
The young man replied,
  • "I agree but my intuition propelled me to do in that way and I could never say 'NO' there!"
The Master instantly accepted the 3rd young man as His disciple. The 2nd one protested saying that he did exactly in the way the Master asked him to do but still was not taken as His disciple. The Master smiled and said,
  • "Forever ready to do something beyond setting aside one's own fears as well as the inhibitions all along giving importance to the intuition within is the primary characteristic of a person in the line of spirituality and one who aspires to be in that line better exhibit this quality before entry into the related Institution.. 
  • And this fine way of doing our actions in a better way truly to say has an 'Infinite Depth.' An Evolved Soul alone can see at that 'Infinite Depth' where in all actions cease into a totally 'Action less State!'
  • For all others who are not at that level, continuing doing the ordained duties with them to the best of their abilities alone is the safeguard in their life till more Clarity comes through the decent of 'Grace of Lord' which is part of 'The Divine Plan in this Universe!'”

DECENT Vs MESSY BEHAVIORS

In the initial stages of friendship..

“Hi, friends.. I'm Ramesh, your Colleague of this Department. Nice to meet both of you.. I heard that you both are Experts in...... Great to have you with us!”

  • “Oh, it's you, Ramesh? Am Suresh from..... I think, you praised me beyond. Heard that you are one of the stalwarts of.......!”
  • "Hello.. This's Dinesh from..... Nice to meet you too.. Thank you for the praise!"
After a certain acquaintance,

“Hi, My dear Suresh & Dinesh! Small suggestion, yaar to both of you. Sure, you both are doing a great job but as I see, if you can do few changes in......., the results would be too good. It's just an advice from my side as a friend.. Sorry for the interference!”
  • “Yaar, What are you saying? This Suresh ever welcomes such advices.. We are very much interested to know that.. What do you say, Dinesh?”
  • “Sure, you are welcome, Ramesh here.. But presently I feel that I'm okay and I'll definitely consider your valuable advice if I face a problem here. Thanks for such a friendly support!”
Then onwards in private..

“Dear, Suresh! No doubt you did a Good Job. But just deviated at ……….. which is very important from the perspective of………”
  • “Sure Ramesh, right now I set it right.. And thank you very much for the correction!”
Subsequent to that..

“My dear! You have again repeated the mistake where I asked you to correct. I very much told you to be careful in…….”
  • “Oh, it happened? OK, I'll try making it alright!”
And further beyond..

“Oh! Dear! What happened to you? Once again.. Can’t you be careful at this point which I stressed so many times?”
  • "---------"
Finally on a day..

“What dear? Something seems to be eternally wrong with you. Any sensible person will not do this silly mistake a second time.. I feel.....!”
  • “What are you saying, my dear Ramesh? Tell me.. first of all.. Who are you here to talk about me like this? You are just my Colleague and not my Boss, do you know? Just keep off.. I think I allowed you too much and you are sitting right on my head all along!”

TRULY A SECULAR INDIA, WHEN..

A man attempted doing a work, found from the beginning not encouraging and soon failed in that. But his initial firm assertion in respect of his Faith continued as usual with a never failing smile on his face..

  • "Yes.. It's just a probability of success or failure here in our life in spite of putting forward our best efforts. Here, seeing for ever cause and effect, believing in doing good and leading a life of true expression out of my own freedom.. They alone define my life!"
Soon he made up his mind and took up the 2nd work. That progressed well to half of completion to his joy but beyond that to the surprise of every one, suddenly failed. In no time, the man started speaking out with a certain Faith established in him..
  • "Yes.. The cause and effect and the probability of happening may be the factors here but doing good everywhere and beyond believing in God alone are the realities distinctly seen by me at this point of time!"
He took sometime to recover, picked up courage and took up the 3rd job with his faith firmly ruling within all along. Soon everything went on well and it was a 100% success there. In no time he started speaking the importance of one's own in Faith in leading a happy life..
  • "Yes.. Leave all that talk of cause and effect, probability of happening etc.. It no more interests me. Firmly believing in that He alone moves me all along myself doing good followed by a sincere Prayer at the end of the day completes my day on earth at this point of time!"
As life moved thus, he suddenly experienced a medium sized road accident with his confidence all of a sudden shaken to the root followed by an agony of physical pain. No doubt, some advices were around on how to get over all that and he soon started doing all that at the back of very slow recovery.
  • Right at that point of time to the surprise of every one, the man totally left his earlier talk and started regularly Praying to his Deity as per his own Religious thinking imbibed from his child and the Associated Faith with a total surrender attitude thus.. 
'Om Trayambakam Yajamahe
Sugandhim Pushti Vardhanam
Urvarukamiva Bandhanath
Mrytor Mukshiya Mamrutat.'


'We worship the three eyed one lord shiva who is of spiritual essence and nourishes all beings. May he severe our bondage of samsara and thus liberate us!'

On an average that being the way almost everyone move in life sooner or later zeroing down in their life towards their belief in God thru' a surrender approach, it's time such firm belief of faith of an individual whatever is respected by every one 'As Is' without an iota of force to modify it and further wish for the betterment of the individual to progress in that line.

Thus continuing one's Faith in life simultaneously carrying an equal regard for the next man's Faith should go on in our life. Here all are equal, none less or none more and the State should make a note of it, allow it freely go on without a discrimination between individuals or their groups and thus make its own Rules and Regulations independent of such individual Faiths respecting them in their own places..

And a better India forever is thru' such ultimate Sacred Feeling alone in the hearts of the Rulers and the Ruled at any time!

The Post is written in line with the IndiSpire Prompt We, the people have remained secular in principle only. The ground realities tell a different story. Should we do away with secularism? Alternately, what can we do to strengthen secularism? #SecularIndia

SURE, A BRAKE TO SELF EXPRESSION!

A man mused, 
‘All along I strictly follow a rule bound discipline.. How can any one question me on what I do beyond expressing my freedom?’

The wise man said, 
“You can sure do so provided you within yourself answer without an exception the 
5 Noble Questions 

Have I taken care of my health and safety in the best possible way known to me? 

Have I reasonably worked to the best of my abilities for the day’s Earnings at least to coverup for what I have consumed, for the people' needs whose take care is my responsibility, for the Savings required for future and for spending on the minimum Charity needs? 

Have I taken proper care of my monies in respect of a reasonable spending, growing and safe guarding? 

Have I cared for the people around me and done their related works under the ever remembered theory that one can wield his stick freely around only when one has taken care of the Saying, ‘Your freedom ends where my nose begins’ in the true sense? 

Have I sincerely felt in my heart for all those people whom I considered all the while as not my people and whom I know as my people but do not like their behavior and doings temporarily and wished for their well being as they too are Part of the Creation on whose behalf one day I invariably have to answer the Almighty? 

and remember the 
10 Golden Precepts

Association with good people is the biggest asset of my life.. It's worth loosing all the unnecessary with me in that context! 

The ultimate of my Philosophy/Religion is nothing but caring for the other man impartially! 

I always have abundance of emptiness! 

The force that brought me into this world will not listen to me so easily! 

The highest Level of Understanding the Truth leads to Total Silence.. Better I ever know my grading here! 

The drive in each creature for a particular work is the basic plan of Mother Nature for completion of Her Goals where in invariably lies my need! 

The best Motive in my life is knowing the Truth;nothing less is the best! 

The Cosmic Energy is One.. The Whole Energy is available to me if I wish to make use of it! 

Real achievement in life is the ability to leave my issues in front as they are if required! 

Happenings are too Powerful; I am nothing when they are Unfavorable! 

With such a discipline alone you can expand, express and do what you want in this world else it is ever a sin to do so under the name of freedom saying in a big way.. 
‘All along I strictly follow a rule bound discipline.. How can any one question me on what I do beyond expressing my freedom?’

IT'S TRUE.. GOD DOESN'T GIVE EVERYWHERE!

On that cool Sunday morning hrs, the rich man of the town in early fifties was in his comfortable easy chair surrounded by a few young visitors each praising the man saying..

  • “Sir! I worked with you some time back and you used to constantly drive me in my work......... 
Because of all that, today I am........ Your grace and goodness Sir!"
  • “Sir! You used to constantly advise and guide me on how to develop one's own business...... 
Because of all that, today I am...... Your grace and goodness Sir!"
  • "Sir! Long back when I was with you a few times, you used to constantly advise me to get into a good investment planing and grow my limited monies.. 
Because of all that, today I am...... Your grace and goodness Sir!"
  • “Sir! Thru' you, I developed the right contacts in the right time with prominent people in our town.. 
Because of all that, today I am...... Your grace and goodness Sir!"
  • "Sir! I wanted to express myself as...... in my life.... and you often used to encourage me there saying if there is a will, there is a way. 
Because of all that, today I am...... Your grace and goodness Sir!"

Just then, there was a call on the mobile phone.

"Excuse me!”

The rich man said and went out to answer the call. No doubt, the voice was mild and soft but some tones were quite harsh in between..
  • “I asked you to search for a good job with your qualification and start working hard instead you wanted to do that business..
  • I made elaborate plans for you in that line but you quickly left it in the middle, chose to invest in financial institutions and make money..
  • I gave you good advice on how to invest the finances in a wise way but there too you never showed interest, left in the middle and decided to work in the political field..
  • I introduced you to prominent people of our town but you never showed a interest beyond in that line and decided to exploit your music skills and grow in that line..
  • Seeing your interest, I provided all the back ground required for that but there also, you soon fizzled out and left people who expected a lot from you totally disappointed..
Now you again want these monies and how long I can supply like this? I am totally at a loss to know how to make you a man of some substance.. Tell me truly..

What are you today in your life all by yourself?"
