WHY IS THE 'COLORFUL RAINBOW' MISSING IN MY LIFE OFTEN? #CauseAChatter



On one Sunday..

  • "Sir! That my friend Dinesh never cares for my feelings and is always... Equally the friend Raghav we once met... Gets into each and every detail... Leave him.. The other friend Govind.. Looks like a gentleman... But so many plans behind..."
The next Sunday..
  • "Sir! That my friend Govind... And equally the friend Dinesh... Leave him.. The other friend Raghav..."
Further to that..
  • "Sir! That my friend Raghav... And equally the friend Govind... Leave him.. The other friend Dinesh..."
After some more days..
  • "Sir! That my friend Dinesh... And equally the friend Raghav... Leave him.. The other friend Govind..."
"Dear! I'll show you a magic.. Here are 3 stars.. Red, brown and black ones..
  • Leave the red in front hall here, brown in bed room and black in the kitchen and come back.. Done?
  • Now move the red to bed room, brown to kitchen and black to front hall.. Ok?
  • Next, move the red to kitchen, brown to front hall and black to bed room and come back.. Alright?
  • And the final.. Move the red to front hall, brown to bed room and black to kitchen.. Good!
And with this doing, the stars are in your favor now and you are sure feeling better!"

"Sir! Nothing extra favored me presently in spite of myself moving the stars 4 times and I am the same.. You made me do a meaningless job!"

"And nothing extra favored you too and you are the same in spite of yourself commenting on your friends all these days.. You too did a meaningless job!"

"?????"

"Yes Dear! The Almighty forever has His Own Greater Plans for all the Rights and Wrongs done in this world and those Sacred Plans are implemented thru'
  • My own care for basic protection,
  • Extended care provided by people around me for the community welfare,
  • Justified care taken by the Rule Makers/Implementing Personnel for overall safety and
  • Extra ordinary care provided thru' indirect sacrifice of the Great Men and Women
Isn't it clear now that I should just do my job well with a heart and relax beyond leaving the rest to those in the line of action?"

THE SONG, 
EVERY HEART CAN SING 
IF TUNED PROPERLY! 
#CauseAChatter 


Sure it is said, 
'Believe others but believe with care!' 
And having been placed reasonably safe and secured in society myself, 
Doubting everything and everywhere is unwarranted at this point of time unless 
Anything going wrong is seen/sensed discretely.. 

Thus, proceeding with a belief that 
The situation is under control 
Is ever the right approach in my life, 
My care
Neither getting diluted in the process
Nor made less even to the minutest level.. 

Seen thus, basically 
believing the other man and 
taking care of myself to the core 
Sure become the twin responsibilities of mine in my life 
And to that extent, 
Whatever my 'self' proposes sure should be repeatedly 
Checked, rechecked and then only is to be allowed.. 

Here alone the basic 
Self protection tendency and 
Self existence level attitude 
Of mine at times 
Forces me to extremes making me 
Doubt everything, everywhere with no specific reason attached other than my own fear and imagination crossing its limits with 
The right taking care of myself in the situation getting side tracked.. 

Such is the endless game 
My 'self' plays with 
My earlier bitter experiences standing as the umpire to the game okaying my thoughts and 
My power in the context of course, indirectly controlling that game of mine ultimately 
Finely dividing the whole humanity with an assertion in me that, 
One group is free from all that evil I imagine and 
The other group is loaded with tonnes and tonnes of that 
Effectively taking away my attention from the constructive work I need to do in time.. 

No doubt my 'self' is a fact, 
That continues with me endlessly as on date and 
Freeing from the clutches of that self is not my job at this moment but 
Refining that, towards 
Understanding the 'right' 
iIs sure the task with me this moment and 
With such an attitude alone I should get into all my life interactions with the other man by my side and 
to that extent, 
Trimming myself is the most important thing with me at this stage of my life, 
Getting rid of the toxic feeling of division in me Viz., 
MY MAN AND NOT MY MAN!

AS ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, SILENCE IS SURE, GOLDEN! #CauseAChatter



"Sir! They say,

'Actions speak louder than words!'

"I feel I'm truly Philosophical in my life as I do my jobs to core and then only advise others. Still, people don't listen to me and argue endlessly..I don't know, why they do that!"

"Dear! You understand truth at your level and as that doing remains quite easy for you, you will refrain from doing different there whatever people around may say..

Others understand the truth at their own level and again as that doing remains quite easy for them, they too will refrain from doing different there whatever people around may say..

What's your problem, here?"

"Sir! Being in line of Philosophy, I know how to be happy in life and I want to see others too happy!"

"Dear! You think that you are really Philosophical and happy in your life?"

"Why not, Sir?"

"My dear! Presently, you are charged with an emotion of Philosophical thinking and take others in your line but unfortunately in the process your own,

Pride and superior feeling

Have taken over you which truly speaking, are no 1 enemies of any Philosophical living on the earth spoken of wherein forever

Humility

Alone is recommended.. Tell me now,

  • A ruler charged with a high emotion of doing justice to his/her ruling,
  • A soldier charged with a great emotion of protecting own country,
  • A professional charged with an innate emotion of doing best in his/her profession,
  • A mother charged with an endless emotion of taking care of her child to the best level,
  • A poet/writer charged with a deep emotion of observing nature around in his/her own way,
  • A workaholic charged with a peculiar emotion of doing his/her work endlessly leaving aside the rest.. And
  • Many like charged with certain inside emotions doing their best to the task in front..
Who are truly devoted to their jobs without a second thought helping out people in general..
  • Why should they all listen to you and what should they specially see in you to follow you..
Other than the usual earthly pride and superiority which forever are denounced by all human societies in the world?"

FROM 'LIMITED' TO 'LIMITLESS'..




*** One of the components of Charle Darwin's Theory says..

'The struggle for existence would allow only those with favorable traits to survive!'

And that possession of favorable traits with a living being is considered as the fittest condition ever bringing out the concept,

'Survival of the fittest!'

It has been proved in the past that extreme work disciplines not taking care of the above concept did not survive beyond a limited period with

The philosophy of a 100% Socialist Economy saying..

'Work according to capacity and take according to need!'

Totally ignoring the prevalence of Darwin's theory amongst humans too.. And

The philosophy of a 100% Capitalist Economy saying..

'Work according to capacity and take according to capacity!'

Totally embracing the Darwin's theory towards humans too negating certain human values..

Economies of the socialist groups have broken down where the implementation of welfare measures could not be checked or allowed to exist beyond the means

When capacities were often hidden and needs were projected beyond.. 

Economies of capitalistic groups have prospered but temporarily only at the cost of exploitation of the weak till a revolt ended that

Where capacities were used beyond and basic needs were sidelined!

*** The law of the jungle defining might is right no doubt will not apply to human societies as

The human societies have been highly evolved helping each other at the back of stringent laws of the land but looked in a refined way

The basic survival instincts of humans are no less and in tough moments, they sure need to respected forever overriding the caring attitude for the other man making

The law of Jungle meaning

'Might is right!'

Prevails by the side,

With the choice of caring never made mandatory but left to the individual's choice and accordingly only all the laws of land are framed, of course the laws varying all over the world!

Still with all that happening, all that talk never stops a human being from rising beyond and finding himself/herself filled with

Eternal Peace and Serenity

Keeping away from the duality of

Pleasure and pain
Up and down and
Gain and loss


Of the so called earthly life thru' the other way of expression of the self.. That way,

Survival is seen as the last cared one in life as goes in the words of the Great Saint when questioned on not learning and working in His life..

"I need not learn and work.. I have no desires to satisfy.. For living, some of you may feed me.. If not, I go hungry and in process if the body perishes, let it!"

And,

Might be seen as the least preferred entity as goes in the proclamation of the Great Man,

"If all Living Beings of the Universe stand in a queue as per their strengths, I wish to stand behind the last tiniest One!"

Forever bringing a Greater Meaning to the Human life in front thru' Elevation of one's Soul!

"survival of the fittest," the Law of the Jungle what do these phrases tell you? I often wonder if we got Charles Darwin's theory wrong. #Survivalofthefittest

'SELF HELP'.. WHAT'S IT LIKE IN TRUE SENSE? #CauseAChatter



"Sir, they say,

'Self help is the best help!'
'God helps those who help themselves!'
'Help yourself before helping others!'

All along in my life, I truly help myself
  • Doing all my basic works myself,
  • Living my life out of the monies I earn thru' honest work and
  • Making use of the inherited /my saved wealth for my additional needs..
Beyond alone, I'm extending help to others within my limits..

That way, am I not sticking to the Sayings in the right way? What do you say?"

"My dear!

'Helping myself'

Has a greater meaning in our life other than leading a simple life thru' self effort and self dependence even though that discipline sure needs to be followed a 100%!"

"Sir! I don't understand what you say!"

"OK! Tell me one thing,

Are you limiting helping yourself at your own physical level or ready to grow within you too?"

"---------"

"Dear! No doubt, extending help to the other man is ever the nobler way and I should never stop that at any time in my life but in parallel I should grow within too constantly doubting myself that
  • I'm doing all that because of a great satisfaction in me in return and by chance I don't get that satisfaction when I dislike the other man in picture,

Will I still continue my help without a remorse attitude or will I be ready to stop that the earliest I get a chance to do so?"

PERSONALITY, INVOLVEMENT AND PEACE.. WHAT'S THE RIGHT MATCH? #CauseAChatter


A man was into a peculiar problem not the usual and he was confused on the course of action to follow..
  • He approached few of his friends for a solution.. They suggested the easier way living out of the problem..
The man was not interested to take that easy path..
  • He approached some more of his friends for a solution.. They suggested the tougher way of living thru' the problem..
The man was afraid to take up that tougher path..
  • He approached the man of wisdom for a solution.. He suggested him the path of certain ease and certain toughness..
The man decided to follow that path..

Days passed….

He soon found that he got into a new network of problems from which there was no easy way to come out but live through and it looked no end to them with peace of mind becoming extinct. At one stage he could no more control himself, met the wise man and vented out his anger on him..

The wise man smiled and said,

"I suggested the appropriate path for you based on your inner trends and at this point of time,

'You are that!'

In your life..
  • Here, you can't take the easier path than this as then you would not be living to the level of the capabilities the Almighty had bestowed on you at this point of time with..
Satan riding on your back soon pushing you to your doomsday..
  • Again, you shouldn't take up the tougher side of the path because had you taken up that path, the misery would have been doubled the other way with..
Your own unrealistic living soon taking you to nowhere..
  • The right way is how best you handle the situations coming up from Truth point of view making full use of your capabilities and here alone..
The Almighty is by your side ever bestowing peace on you!"

'KNOWING'.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?

  • "I Know everything!"
The young man of 20s proclaimed..

"Try knowing more!"

The wisdom around him asserted.. 
  • "I Know many things.. Great!"
The not so young man of 30s beamed..

"Try knowing the details therein!"

The wisdom around him asserted again.. 
  • "I Know certain things.. Sure of that!"
The middle aged man of 40s mused..

"Better streamline that knowing!"

The wisdom around him suggested..
  • "I Know something concrete.. Worth knowing!"
The man of 50s thought..

"Have you given a shape to that learning?"

The wisdom around him queried.. 
  • "Should I be knowing more?"
The elderly man of 60s had a doubt..

"May be; may not be.. You are the best judge here!"

The wisdom around him said with all firmness.. 
  • "My experience knows; not me!"
The elderly man of 70s was heard saying with a smile..

"You are right!"

The wisdom around him concurred therein.. 
  • "These days, I forget many things!"
The very elderly man of 80s murmured..

The wisdom around him remained silent!

HUMILITY.. WHAT IT'S LIKE?


'Picked up and thrown.. 
They cause innumerable damage but 
Streamlined and laid out level.. 
They are a beauty by themselves!'

As a child, when Sri Adi Sankara was wandering on the banks of Narmada, He came across the Seer Govinda Bhagavadpada who asked Him,

"Who are You?"

Sri Shankara instantly answered him thru' nine Slokas subsequently called Nirvana Shatakam (Atma Shatakam) and the first Sloka of that Shatakam goes thus..

'Mano Budhyahankaara Chitani Naaham,
Na Cha Shrotrajihve Na Cha Ghraananetre
Na Cha Vyoma Bhumir Na Tejo Na Vayuh,
Chidaanandarupah Shivoham Shivoham.'


'I am not mind, nor intellect, nor ego, nor the five senses, nor the reflections of inner self
I am beyond all that. Again
I am not the ether, nor the earth, nor the fire, nor the wind as
I am indeed that Eternal Knowing and Bliss, the Auspicious (Shivam), Love and Pure Consciousness!'


That sure remains my Prayer of the Day to the Almighty for my uplift, I being the man of ignorance infinitely far away from Truth with my endless limitations..

At times, it may appear to me that Truth is simple to follow if I am straight forward but that's not that simple as I am truly unaware of my deepest limitations which in no time pop up and stop me from living the life of Truth

As the following story heard in my younger days the origin of which is unknown to me reveals..

*** A Saint going with His disciples in the forest explaining the basic aspects of spiritual life was invited towards noon by a good tribal chief to his Hamlet and was offered mouth watering lunch and wine..

'Anando Brahma!'

The Master said, took the food and wine with the disciples too doing that to their full satisfaction and ease, blessed the chief and continued His journey..

Towards evening by bad luck, they were corned by a cruel tribal chief who beat them up black and blue and offered a single bitter drink as the night food..

'Anando Brahma!'

The Master said, took the bitter drink and blessed the chief but the disciples reeling under great pain couldn't take a sip of the offer!

That's why, even though the Saying goes..


Truth alone triumphs

The often repeated other Saying truly applies to me with my own endless limitations.. Viz.,

Ignorance is bliss..

As being ignorant of the reality many times secures my own bliss and my life of today on the earth continues with a certain happiness and simplicity..

But at times, when that same ignorance starts ruling me with pride seen everywhere, soon it appears to me that I am a personality of certain worth, others around me are not and that state of mind gives birth to prejudice in me ultimately making me try ruling the world with


PRIDE AND PREJUDICE

Ruling me behind..

A sick man may soon either become better or adjust mentally to live with the disease but when my personality is diseased with my own pride and prejudice..

That condition will only worsen me in time with a confidence by the side affirming that ‘I am improving’ and as a contagious disease, spreads by leaps and bounds among people who have similar egos..

I should ever remember that the understanding of Truth is like in the words of the Great Saint,

'It is as hard as rock but is as soft as butter!'

Conveying the inherent meaning of the high flexibility of all such opinions in our life leading to

ULTIMATE HUMILITY

And nothing less out of one’s own understanding at heart which forever asserts the concept..

‘Contain yourself maximum and curtail the other never!’
