THE UNIQUE POSITION(S) OF A MOM IN THE CHILD'S HEART!

The child 5+ was in his own world of amusement in the park cycling along with his pet.

It was time to go home and the grandma insisted that they both go home. But the boy was not listening to her saying that he wanted to play. The grandma became firm and said,


"Dear! Next to your mommy and daddy, I'm No 3 for you and you should listen to me.. Don't say 'No'.. Okay?"

The child replied,

  • "You are not No 3.. You are No 5 for me!"
Apt she gave back,

"Hi.. Your Mommy is No 1 for you, Daddy is No 2 and I'm next and so I am No 3!"

  • "No.. You are No 5!"
"What? There are 2 more people who do better things for you than me? Who are they?"
  • "I don't know.. You are No 5!"
"Okay..okay! I got it.. Your daddy's mommy and daddy's daddy are in the list! So you gave me No 5!"
  • "No.. They are No 6 and No 8.. No 7 is grandpa!"
"I don't get it.. Then who are No 3 and No 4? Are any of your aunts and uncles?"
  • "No they are not!"
"I can't understand you.. Tell me how I'm No 5?"
  • "I don't know.. You are No 5!" 
"You are simply saying!"
  • "No.. Mommy is No 1, mommy is No 2, mommy is No 3, Daddy is No 4, you are No 5, grandpa is No 7......."
"What mommy is No 2 and No 3 also.. How?"
  • "I don't know.. You are No 5!"
The grandma couldn't get the boy's point immediately and she thought for a minute.. Suddenly there was a flash in her mind..

"Yes.. The boy is very much right..

His mommy is all the 24 hrs of everyday by his side taking care of his welfare many times foregoing her essential needs too to a certain extent in that scenario..
  • So she is sure No 1 for him!
Equally she had forgone as well as is foregoing the basic relaxation moments of her life from the time of her child's birth..
  • So is she is definitely No 2 for him!
And beyond these 2 expressions of hers, she left her full time employment for the sake of the Little One taking up a part time job as time permitted in due course..
  • That 100% gives her No 3 Position for him!
As she thus sacrificed the 3 prime aspects of her life, she definitely deserves to be in the positions of No 1, No 2 and No 3 for the Little One and rest all do come later alone!"

ONE REVELATION.. DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS!

“Awake! You are constantly carrying a certain tension within you and are silently suffering in your life even though outwardly you appear happy and cheerful. This is because you are not attentive all along and somewhere neglecting your ordained duties..

  • Be attentive, care for your duties and feel happy and safe in your life!” 
Thus saying, the Master concluded His speech!

“Truly a wonderful and inspiring speech.. The Master says,

  • Be attentive, care for your duties and feel happy and safe in your life!” 
What great guidelines to a happy living the Master had given. Sure worth chanting and remembering them daily..

Here after, this's going to be the discipline in my life!”

Saying thus, a man bid bye to his friend and left the place in great hurry..

The friend thought,

“Truly a wonderful and inspiring speech.. The Master says,

  • Be attentive, care for your duties and feel happy and safe in your life!” 
What great guidelines to a happy living the Master had given. Sure worth chanting and remembering them daily but beyond there's something more too to that..
  • Of late, I feel I'm not taking proper care of my health and safety. From tomorrow, I'll follow a rigorous discipline. No more many Saturday late night hangouts and Sunday feasts.. Instead good food, sufficient exercise and reasonable rest in place of these..
Here after, this's going to be the discipline in my life!”

The man who was sitting next to him felt,

“Truly a wonderful and inspiring speech.. The Master says,

  • Be attentive, care for your duties and feel happy and safe in your life!” 
What great guidelines to a happy living the Master had given.. Sure worth chanting and remembering them daily simultaneously taking proper care of health and safety but beyond there's something more too to that..
  • I know I'm careless in respect of my job and finances. Today’s speech is truly an Eye Opener.. From this moment, I’ll take proper care of my job and finances with full attention; the most important thing to do..
Here after, this's going to be the discipline in my life!”

One in the front bench pondered,

“Truly a wonderful and inspiring speech.. The Master says,

  • Be attentive, care for your duties and feel happy and safe in your life!” 
What great guidelines to a happy living the Master had given.. Sure worth chanting and remembering them daily simultaneously taking proper care of health, safety, job and finances but beyond there's some thing more too to that..
  • Am I performing my duties correctly in respect of my my family welfare? Some people indicated indirectly that I am careless here. From tomorrow, my first care and attention is in this direction only and let me firmly say 'NO' to any deviation here..
Here after, this's going to be the discipline in my life!”

An Introvert in the audience thought,

“Truly a wonderful and inspiring speech.. The Master says,

  • Be attentive, care for your duties and feel happy and safe in your life!” 
What great guidelines to a happy living the Master had given.. Sure worth chanting and remembering them daily simultaneously taking proper care of health, safety, job, finances and family but beyond there's some thing more too to that..
  • All the while I was finding fault with my friend. When I can't truly love my friend and create a confidence in him, what a personality am I? Tomorrow, I am the first to open my heart with him and try wash off my ill doings. Further, I'll strictly discipline myself never to do such mistakes again..
Here after, this's going to be the discipline in my life!”

A deep Thinker who attended the Program in search of a permanent solution for the unrest within firmed up,

“Truly a wonderful and inspiring speech.. The Master says,

  • Be attentive, care for your duties and feel happy and safe in your life!” 
What great guidelines to a happy living the Master had given.. Sure worth chanting and remembering them daily simultaneously taking proper care of health, safety, job, finances, family and friend but beyond there is some thing more too to that..
  • Am I truly 'Rising' in life? I should do something beyond and try taking care of the needy more with my resources, help them in their life for betterment and thus grow myself truly in the Spiritual line..
Here after, this's going to be the discipline in my life!”

WHATEVER BE THE FINAL OUTCOME, IT'S SURE A LIFE OF MORE RESPONSIBILITIES!

The 8 yrs old boy all of a sudden happened to witness a sad incident. That night his sleep got disturbed with bad dreams followed by an unknown shouting while on bed out of fear and the next day his routine sleeping activity became a terror. The Mom observed that and said,

“Dear! From today, we'll repeat this Sloka of Strength with us before going to bed.. Say with me..

Ramaskandham hanumantham vainateyam vrkodaram
shayane yah smarennithyam duh swapnam thasya nasyathi


The Mighty, Strong and Powerful Lord Hanuman, Garuda and Bheema by your side drive away your bad dreams making you sleep sound!”

And that just clicked with the boy as he believed his Mom beyond and instantly he was freed from his fear and misery an unknown strength replacing that..

That's what the love of a mother does towards her kid!

The same boy at 15+ yrs murmured,

“He never says once that I did the right.. Why does he scold me thus? Always says Learn.. Learn.. Learn! Very easy to say.. It's better, sometime I'm left alone!”

As planned, the father and son went that day evening to the grocery shop 3 km away from their home. There the son was made to

  • Bargain for the price, 
  • Check the weight and 
  • Select the good items 
at the back of many remarks..

Soon all the bundles were moved into a small open van, the son sat in front and the father at the back holding two big tins of oil, a few packets of powders in both the hands..

On the way over a narrow bridge as the vehicle maneuvered the steep up, it suddenly swiveled and rested on the edge of the road tilting precariously towards the waters at depth..

The father instantly jumped out of the vehicle shouting aloud at his son leaving the items in his hands,

  • "Dear! Get down first from the vehicle!"
The next moment, all the oil splashed to the ground as the huge tins hit the road. The powders fell everywhere around. A few items straight away slipped down into the waters below.

Not bothered anything beyond, the dad hugged son saying,

  • "Don't worry.. You are safe. That's enough for me!" 
That's what the love of a dad towards his child speaks..

In a normal situation such caring attitudes from both the parents together help the child grow to a full fledged individual in his/her life.

Unfortunately when certain rift runs thru' such relationship which will have its own reasons as ultimately the freedom of individuals come on top priority, that soon may result in separation of the partners thru' legal divorce proceedings.


Those proceedings detail how the future responsibilities of one time united relationship have to be handled along with the way the children of the family have to be taken care of for the ultimate good of every one.

In such a situation, it's essential that both the parties uphold all those future duties assigned along with the additional responsibilities that come up thru' subsequent married relationships of both the parties to the root and thus move on in their lives taking the best of the situation in front!

ULTIMATELY WHEN IT BECOMES INEVITABLE..

The Saying may go that marriages are made in heaven but most of the time the actual married life is be physically lived on earth with lots of turmoil a few times making it feel like hell and

The idea of divorce surfaces!

Before marriage, friendship and wooing may look like a honeymoon experience but after marriage they definitely have to face the blazing sun and withstand and when the heat goes up beyond a limit

The idea of divorce surfaces!

Familiarity is forced to breed contempt in every married life as the parties are too familiar with each and everything known 100% and it needs great patience and perseverance from both the parties to keep up this contempt at simmering levels ever thru' doing good and in spite of such good care too, when certain rift takes birth and starts growing endlessly

The idea of divorce surfaces!

When marriage thus becomes a greater pain and separation thru' legal divorce looks inevitable, it should ever be remembered that that has its own problems hitherto never imagined where in a lot of attention alone can safeguard ultimately the interests of both the partners..

And with birth of children in such a married life eternally smeared with unending rift tendencies, it's ever wisdom that certain additional factors are taken care of before reaching the separation agreements..

Here both the partners and the well-wishers on either side should be aware of the needs of growing children both physical and psychological and take such timely decisions wherein that growth and development are never hampered like..

  • Children respond to love alone and nothing less and that love is nothing but paying the right attention towards them.. 
That attention from two ever out weighs that received from one unless doubled!
  • No rational behavior is expected from children up to a certain age and the parents alone can support them there thru' extended patience at the back of their unending love..
Anything less here is forever a deficiency only!
  • The parents alone together give a certain personality to their children.. 
Without max of that we often grow up violent and insecure individuals ultimately!
  • Child care is a 24 hr task till they grow to a certain age and.. 
Two on sharing basis can sure support this better!
  • Children continuously believe and observe as they grow.. They never forget even a small response from whom they interact and it's very much stored and works to perfection..
True love in abundance definitely becomes an asset in such a scenario!
  • Children never expect pity from others; instead no attention for a while is better.. Further, they expect continuous attention from one individual; never want attention daily from different individuals..
Any rift in the relationship of the parents sure creates a problem in fulfilling this requirement!
  • Children expect no help in all issues where no danger is sensed; instead they start exploring the issues in front.. 
A sincere vigilance from both the parents leaving them to their full freedom becomes a big asset in such scenario!
  • Child care beyond health and safety involves instilling certain confidence in the minds of the Little Ones.. Children learn max in the early years of childhood and beyond it becomes mostly repeating and copying only.. 
Such a confidence is ever doubled when the parents originally carry mutual respect for each other and have max confidence in each other!
  • Finally to say.. As we sow, we reap! If I am honest to core and do all my activities accordingly, my child too sure copies that.. 
In a troubled situation with rift tendencies, how much these honest behaviors from the aggressive party side survive is ever doubt!

SURE, NO PAINS.. NO GAINS!

That evening, the child along with his mom and grandpa entered the Toy Shop. Soon the Little One was on his favorite driving type toy cars there..

"I want that car!"

He said.. The daughter smiled and said,

"They won't allow it on our flight back home. For a month of our stay here the cost is too much.. Later it becomes a waste!"

"Next year I come, I'll play!"

"By that time, you become big.. You'll not play with this.. Pick up another toy!"

"No I want it.. Grandpa can we buy this?"

The grandpa remained silent.. The daughter said firmly..

"Dad.. Let's go to the next store. There he'll find something interesting!"

"Dear! We can't snub the interests of the child. As caretakers and well-wishers, we've a role to genuinely look into our boy's timely needs and help him in fulfilling them to the best of our abilities!"


The elderly man said..

"But how can we do that here? After all our monies too are precious!"

"Dear! When I say thus, I never mean saying don't care for your money.. I saw in the Mall in the Central Area having these cars rented out for children to run in their premises for a small amount.. Let's go there!"

Soon the mom and grandpa convinced the Little One on that with a promise to him that they would be going there immediately and the car would be given to the boy!

"I'll buy and bring it home.. At home I want play!"

The Little One said firmly.

In 15 minuets time, the 3 were in the Mall area where different cars in different colors were seen going round. Seeing them, the Little one's eyes brightened.

"I want that car.. Let's buy that!"


He said. The grandpa talked to the In-charge boy and requested him to help riding the child for a while. Then he looked at the Little One and said,

"Dear! You've to learn the car operation.. Don't you like to learn?"

"Yes.. I want!"

"That you can't do it yourself at home.. This uncle will help you.. So sit in the car for 10 minutes and learn all that!"

Soon the Little One was into those activities.. 10 minutes passed, the boy had to vacate the car..

"Dear! I want you learn different cars.. The next car will be with you in 5 mts when the present riding boy vacates.. We've to wait!"

5 minutes passed and the next car was with the child.. Again for the next 10 minutes the boy was in his own world..

Next, the child got into the 3rd and 4th cars successively each looking different and rode them screaming aloud.. By that time, the 1st car was again ready for him.

"Learn and practice more!"

Said the grandpa..

2 hrs passed thus and the Mall crowd started thinning out with the closing time being one hr. Just in time, the grandpa took another initiative. He approached the In-charge boy and said,

"Can you give now the first car to our boy till the Mall closes? I'll pay a fixed charge!"

The In-charge boy instantly agreed for that and soon the Little One started going round continuously in the car. By that time everyone felt hungry.. The grandpa asked,

"Dear! Do you like to have your favorite ice cream? I'll get it for you!"

The child nodded his head and the old man soon headed towards the boy's favorite Ice Cream Shop leaving him with his mom.

Just before it was the closing time for the car ride, he emerged on the scene with boy's favorite delicacy and seeing him from distance, the boy left his car and ran towards his cone..

In no time, he was all into the action of licking his tastiest piece of cone well satisfied with the extended car ride he had..

  • "Our boy is fully charged now with renewed energy. His strong wish of owning the car had melted out silently under the unending rides he had in all types of cars along with his favorite ice cream towards the end..
  • No doubt, it cost me a bit with ride rate minutes wise and fixed but those amounts together in few hundreds are well within our limits of spending towards our child's happiness and mental well-being compared to the few thousands of owning the toy car without using it much except that we almost spent 3 hrs here spreading over our energies for such a good cause.. Anyhow ultimately the Saying goes.. 
No Pains No Gains!

And sure we got our gain here..

One 100% of our boy's confidence that we take care of him well!"


Said the elderly man while alighting at home the 3 wheeler they hired on return the Little Boy giving a pose with a beaming face at the end of the day!

HAPPY DIWALI!

No doubt it's the answer from Lord Krishna 
thru' 
Slokas 55 and 56, 
Chapter II 
Srimad Bhagavad Gita 
to a query from Prince Arjuna on who the 
Man of Steady Wisdom 
is..

'prajahaati yadaa kaamaan
sarvaan partha manogataan;
aatmanyevaatmanaa tushtah
 sthitaprajnastadochyate!'

'duhkheshwanudwignamanaah 
sukheshuvigatasprihah;
Veetaragabhayakrodhah 
sthitadheer munir uchyate'

'Casting off the desires of mind
Satisfied in the Self alone, 
not shaken by adversity, 
not hankering after pleasures 
freed from attachment, fear and anger 
exists
the sage of steady wisdom!'

But 
That Sacred Message 
equally binds me thru'
A SINGLE DISCIPLINE
in my life..

'Refraining max from the wild ways of living
Involve actively in your responsibilities with a
Giving attitude explicitly seen everywhere and thus
Hold the bridle firmly readying yourself to
Take whatever comes in the process!'

With the Sacred Word 
'RIGHT'
very much imprinted on it!"

Let me.. 
With no recourse straight away 
lighten up this single discipline in me 
on this 
Diwali, 
The Festival of Lights 
and 
Start spreading goodness everywhere!

SURE.. ALL THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD!

No doubt he was the No 1 genius of the town 
He wanted his son too to be in that line 
But the son in no time turned out to be a misfit amidst similar genius personalities.. 

The No 1 genius soon went out of ethics.
Used his clout to forcibly turn a simpleton into a genius. 
Thus remained for a while a clown amidst the genius personalities.. 

But life can never continue thus. 
A clown too has own personality of original expression 
And that personality sure prompts one to be something in life..

Thus, the misfit soon started excelling in his own area 
Not talked of much and never carried a big weight on it's head.
As more energies had gone in that direction forcibly living amidst genius members, he soon became a double clown there.. 

And one day some one remarked beyond 
"What a blockhead is born to a genius.. 
Sure the effect of the dad's past deeds!"
with every one talking on that very quickly as the dad was too famous..

But the Almighty's Scales ever balance. 
And here the genius and simpleton too could never crossover the effect of their live deeds in their life.. 

With the son not getting a bit hurt with that talk he remaining serene and calm with nil publicity
and 
The dad's heart broken into pieces with sharp words thrown at him at the fag end of his life and he becoming totally a lost person with his intact name and fame ultimately turning against him alone!

THE EVER ADVOCATED 'BEST DISCIPLINE' OF OUR LIFE!

A family and friends visited a distant place of tourist importance where
  • Issues were better controlled, 
  • Systems worked the best, 
  • Order prevailed everywhere and 
  • People respected rules and regulations to core..
The younger ones of the family were soon in their own excitement..
  • “This place, I love a lot. See! Nothing fails here at any point of time. Once my car broke down in the mid of an isolated place when there was incessant snowing. I thought, I was gone for the night. In less than half hr of my SOS call, help came and shifted me to a safe place. Subsequently my car too followed!”
  • “Yeah! You are right. It works here so well. I once lost my way at midnight and just asked the help. So perfect the system works.. I close my eyes too, I would reach home. I had no trouble of getting back!”
  • “Not that alone.. I once, camped in a forest area. I was afraid that those systems around may not work there and I may be in danger. But to my surprise, everything was taken care so well and I was safe from all the angles. Where else do we get this type of safety?”
“Yes! Yes! No doubt in that. OK! Let's move on.. We are here to see the place! Now, let's get on to the high rock there which extends into the sands below.. From bottom we will have our pictures clicked. You'll never get this landscape anywhere. But let's not go beyond the safe zone marked. I am seeing the limiting fence around. It looks great! Let's climb to that point.

Such a beautiful picturesque spot in such safe surroundings!”

The elderly in the family spoke soft..

"My dear Boys!

The area around might have been well regulated through rules and regulations in force but they are all still man made only and fate sometimes will not listen to all these..


The danger may lurk in a corner as the rocks are steep and slippery..

There, sometimes all the machinery around may be of no use once the mishap of serious nature occurs and all systems around may instantly become redundant..

Thus seen, the best discipline to be followed in life at all times and in all places is..

  • Be alert, 
  • Exercise the best care and 
  • Take all precautions
At the back of a Sincere Prayer to the Almighty for Ultimate Take Care..

Om trayambakam yajamahe sugandhim pustivardhanam

THE REAL MISCHIEF MAKER!

Oh! My Belief.. 
You, 
My Personal Faith 
In what I observe around and what I experience forthwith..

From childhood, as I started observing/experiencing, you conveniently captured me making me compare each of my experiences with yourself.. 
You thus made me constantly oscillate between the 
'Good’ and ‘Bad’ 
and the 
‘Right’ and ‘Wrong!’

Having so coolly done that, you made me divide people saying 
‘My Person’ and ‘Not My Person’ 
and further forced me to
'Like My Person' and ‘Dislike Not Mine!’
In time, this duality with me had gone beyond ultimately making me 
'Embrace My Person to my Bosom' 
and 
'Hate That Not Mine to the Root!'

I'm lucky I could catch you today, you 
'The Rotten Monotony'
by my side..
Thru' the dawn of certain wisdom in me that assured me see 
'The Better of Me' 
become aware to 
‘The Truth at Every Instance’ 
to the extent possible, accordingly firm up and act! 

Yes.. I understand that here alone lies 
my strength, steadfastness and a great wish to explore 
'The World of Truth’
around me rather than be caught and carried away by the glimpses of pleasures you showed to trap me eternally!

No doubt, you are not an easy enemy to tackle with as the tackling personality me, myself is part and parcel of you if not the whole, depending on the level of my own elevation in 
'The Path of Higher Understanding..' 

Still.. No problem, you continue your tricks on me I continue to be more vigilant, ready myself take some blame and attack from the world which is inevitable in the process but never leave
‘My Truthful Path’
and 
‘The Path Laid out by The Great Personalities'
of the world.. 

It's sure no easy job for me here but this life is worth experimenting thru' this 
'Vibrant New’
rather than going round and round thru' 
'The Rotten Routine’ 
you propose every moment with no respite from carrying the burden of pleasant experiences on my back adding bits and pieces thru' my interactions with the world.. 
The glitter and glamour of which constantly mesmerizing me but 
Instantly vanishing from the scene exactly when needed!"

WHAT'S TRULY 'NEW?'


On a holiday tour to the most exotic place on the earth..

"Oh! My! That place is really fantastic. Looks too good to me.
Those green fields spread over the huge area with the sun light falling at an angle over it with the back drop of fast vanishing clouds..... 
Let's go there and we shouldn't miss such a beautiful spot!"

In 2 hrs time at the new place so much praised..

"God! What a greenery! I love the scenery around. The view from here is too good.. See, that landscape at distance.. 
With so many bushy bushy green trees and a stream of waters flowing in between with the back ground of the majestic hills touching the skies.... 
Looks like my next destination.. Let's go there too!"

"Dear! We were at the same place 2 hrs back!"

It may be a piece of humor here but equally the strong message behind it is.. Whatever I may think and firm up within me, 

Forever the Nature is One, the Universe is One and the Creator of the Cosmos Phenomenon too is One!

As an individual of 'Dwanda'(duality), I'll not be able to experience this Oneness directly at this moment but Specs of that Reality sure could be felt by me if I tune up myself to a certain internal discipline in my life and work in that direction with full dedication.. That discipline basically is nothing but certain constant thoughts in me Viz.,

'The beauty of outside is ever in the eyes of the beholder..

All my achievements, gain in knowledge and experience of today are not exclusively of my own make.. 

They equally belong to those people who were with me all these years working along with me as they had just given away for my gain.. 

These people must have been compensated all these days with certain monies which in my view look 'OK' but from the broader prospective that return is sure less unless my gratitude too goes towards all those eligible receivers who are none but the present generation in front of me as 

Forever people are One and the world is One!

The best way of this return is.. As I deal with the people around me, I might have seen many of them with their own 

Inherent Ambitions,
Innate Tendencies.. 
Innovative Ideas and 
Interesting strategies.. 

Certain ‘Newness’ is ever part and parcel of such expressions around me and invariably I've to make use of this 'Newness’ for my work as well for the good of the world.. To tap that, the only way is.. Ever to motivate the man with me thru'

Genuine support when an ambition is seen,
Praise when there is an achievement, 
Gentle guidance when faced with a difficulty and 
Kindness when failure takes place! 

Instead ever ready to show off an indirect

Oppressive attitude,
Jealousy,
Authority and 
Pride!

When I start doing thus on a firm footing the dwanda (duality) with me sure becomes lighter with partiality from my end dropped down to certain extent making me experience the 

Specs of Reality of Oneness with CERTAIN NEWNESS seen in Everything, Everywhere, Every moment!

ESCAPING FROM AN ORDEAL NEVER TAKES ONE THERE;
RATHER LIVING THRU' DOES THE WONDER!


A young man had series failures in his life. Attempted 1, 2 and 3 and failed in succession Partly because of his carelessness and partly because he believed beyond in wrong places.

That entire episode sent a wrong Message into the mind of the young man. Soon a single thought firmed up in him..

'It's forever better to leave the worldly life and embrace Spirituality!'

Having decided thus, one fine day he met an elderly well-wisher of his family who was a man of deep wisdom and said,

“Sir! I'm getting vexed with the materialistic world around me with no peace seen anywhere. I strongly feel that I should move to a Good Monastery, take up certain activities there supporting Spirituality and thus live my further life in Peace.. Am confident that I can do this activity 100% and there I would surely become better.. 


Sir, tell me.. Isn't it a better choice for people like me? In fact, I am happy that the failures of mine had opened up my eyes to some extent to quickly move out of this confusion!”

The elderly looked at him, paused for a while and asked a question,

“Dear! By joining a Monastery what are you planning to achieve ultimately in your life?”

“In fact I can do many.. I’ll start totally a new life there.. I'll work, make a living and try to live a serene life amidst Nature and God communicating Atmosphere.. That way, am sure it's much superior life!”

“My dear, let me tell you clearly one thing here.. All those experiences presently you passed thru' are very firmly in your mind and that one is corrupted beyond. If you join a Monastery with such a sick mind, I'm sure you'll soon spoil the Serene Atmosphere there.. And am equally sure, no Head of a Monastery will admit a personality like you with this back up!"

"?????"

“Yes, dear! The Sacred Path required to embrace Spirituality is forever filled with the Vibrant qualities like Courage, Service, Sacrifice, Patience and nothing less. Out of vexation and an escape mentality no one can become Philosophical in their lives as such a mind can never see the 'Good' existing in the people around and further can never appreciate the 'Beauty' of living this 'One' life happily with people.

Take care here because as I see your mind having misguided you so far on the utopia of achievements in life, is now misguiding you to get off from the more important activities you have to do in your life at this stage by suggesting you the easy path of constantly blaming yourself/people around thus escaping into a life of Pseudo Philosophy..

And still if you are not convinced, try continue thinking a life on the lines of Philosophical Discipline and follow that, let me say with a 100% assertion that

An ordinary individual totally engrossed in his/her hard work at the busiest cross roads unmindful of the dust, dirt and noise around not knowing an iota of what is Philosophical Living is sure a better Philosopher in his/her life compared to you at any point of time!”

THE BLESSING(S) IN DISGUISE!

As the aircraft started rolling on the runway, the gentleman in the middle seat in rear closed his eyes for a while in prayerful mode and further to that sat in an upright position in his seat.. 

The plane picked up speed in no time with a roaring sound and was soon into skies at the back of a few sideward movements and certain ups and downs..

The jolts were a bit nauseating but all in no time smoothed into the level flight. The engines were at their full thrust and in the rear seating compartment the audible levels had dropped down instantly amidst the increased sound of the engines..

The flight planned time was about 2 hrs..

The gentleman discretely noticed the 2 passengers on left and right to him sitting in a bit tense mood. Soon all smiled at one another and in the process he casually asked the man in the window seat..

“Sir! You seem to be not feeling well?”

“Yeah! Even though I travelled few times, I never felt comfortable sitting in the aircraft.. A bit worried!”

Replied the window seated man. The other co-passenger heard that and immediately said,

"I'm traveling for the first time.. The whole thing looks a bit scary!” 

The gentleman smiled and said,

“Sir! If you listen to me, many of your wrong beliefs of flying will sure vanish and you can be freed from your fears. Let me try my bit, with your permission!”

Both the co-passengers instantly nodded their heads in affirmation. Meanwhile, few drinks were served to them and they quickly finished that. The gentleman started,

“Sir! The aircraft we regularly travel are very safe. So much of care is taken in building, maintaining and flying the aircraft that with all confidence I can easily say flying is the safe way of traveling!”

The co-passengers were instantly seen showing interest in his talk. The gentleman continued..

”See! We many times think that travel on ground is quite safe as we get a feeling there that whatever might happen, we are ultimately on a firm base. And while flying, this feeling is shaken up a bit as we feel that we are hanging all the way. Do you agree?”

Both the men's faces appeared brightened up..

”You exactly sensed our inner thoughts..”

They said together. The gentleman felt a bit proud in his heart.. At that point of time a few refreshments were served to them. The gentleman thanked the Hostess and said..

"See! They are serving tasty food too during our lengthy travel.. It’s time to relax and enjoy this travel!”

The co-passengers, nodded their heads in silence.. Having finished eating the food, the gentleman continued his talk on flight safety aspects for a while. At length he concluded saying,

“See, Sir.. Going by by statics with us, I can 100% assertively say that air travel is the very safe mode of transport anywhere in the world and...........”

Looked at his watch and said,

“Oh! It's nice we spent almost the full journey time talking on flight safety. It’s time to land now.. See, the aircraft had already started descending.. We've to fasten our seat belts now and be ready for landing.."

And having done that before the regular announcement, the gentleman said,

"This is one of the safety requirements to be followed during take off, landing and in times of turbulence.. Hope you both feel better now with what all I told!"

The 2 men smiled and nodded there heads.. Soon the aircraft landed and the trio walked out of the Airport together. Finally the gentleman bid bye to his 2 new friends and moved on..

The 2 looked at each other for a while with a smile on their faces and suddenly one said in a low tone..

“I'm not that much influenced by what all he said but invariably his talk for one and half hrs almost the full length of journey kept me off from my nauseating fear. Whatever.. For me truly 

 It was a blessing in disguise!"

Hearing that the other confided in a soft tone,

"Me too not bothered about what he said and it was boring beyond but one thing I noticed him doing before takeoff.. Closing eyes for a while praying to God.. It suddenly struck me that that is the best confidence booster in such situations and here afterwards I'm going to depend on that alone.. Truly 

It was a blessing in disguise!”

MOTHER NATURE SURE PLAYS WITH THE CHILD!


  • The child continuously explores and never takes that around for granted.. 
Generally, what all I would be presenting to my child would be a cluster of activities of repetition because that is the easiest way for me to do.. Something like a package! But the child has no interest to repeat beyond a limit as the interests there shift quickly to explore further. I should continuously try and present various live activities to my child that would address all along the Little One’s interest.

Here, Mother Nature around presents this in the best way and thus a constant communication with Nature truly help the child in growing up to good personality!


  • The child does not want an orderly life around..
Any order with laid out practices and systems is a monotony for the child. Certain order around is acceptable and interesting for the Little One and it may be a prime requirement too. Anything beyond this is sure unwelcome..The disorder comprises of varied things in the vicinity in respect of size, shape, color and their associated movements and sounds.

Again to say, these variations are in abundance and are part and parcel of our Mother Nature and it's ever worth I make use of all that for the betterment of my child!


  • The child accepts what comes in front easily without many reservations..
This is because there is a definite characteristic in the child which expresses the best with what is available in front. Many times what is worthless for a man is interesting and the dearest for a child! It is wisdom to see this special quality of the child and care for all the items the Little One loves to keep with. In turn, The child equally sees this care from the parent and thus grows into a true caring personality in future life!

Finally to say, Mother Nature gives such precious gifts to a child in abundance equally caring for their retention with time and it's worth the parent tries best and remains in tune with that rhythm around!
