FROM 'LONELINESS' TO 'ALONENESS'.. #CauseAChatter


The Great Saint said,

"See Narayana in every living being.. But respect tiger Narayana from a safe distance!"


The ever green message conveyed here is..

'Taking care of 'self' is the primary responsibility of every living being!'

As such, the heard mentality.. i.e., copying masses without verifying facts is the basic self protection instinct in an individual and whatever be the rationalization in front, he/she instantly tries to copy the individual next to him/her in the group feeling safe with numbers around totally Keeping away the ever haunting feeling within that

HE/SHE IS LONELY!

No doubt, the 7 tools of investigation, Viz.,

WHAT, WHO, WHERE, WHICH, WHY, WHEN and HOW

Are given to one in abundance by Mother Nature for investigating and finding the truth in everything thru' asking questions of enquiry like

  • What is the right name for this?
  • Who had first brought it to my country?
  • Where can I find more info on this?
  • Which part of the world is it available in abundance?
  • Why is it not available in my area?
  • When can I find time to know more about this?
  • How can this be utilized for certain specific purposes?
Leading to a great scientific discovery and spectacular invention thru' a process of constant experimentation and endless evaluation..

With the heard mentality continuing to exist in him/her at a lower level for basic safety and avoiding unnecessary attention with lessened belief in things and more keenness to test and see/feel everything as much possible..

And that attitude continues in an individual endlessly but once in a way, looking at the Universe and Life oneself asking within the higher questions of enquiry like
  • What is the cause of the suffering in the world?
  • Who is the Originator of the Entire?
  • Where is the end to the Endless?
  • Which Direction leads to that Beginning?
  • Why is the Truth hard to percolate?
  • When does the time end and the Silence begin?
  • How does the Entire work perfect?
At times by God's Grace leading to fall of certain ignorance and dawn of sustainable Truth in the personality along with restoration of related Peace thru' the process of constant negation and renunciation

That defines temporarily him/her the ultimate personality of life on the earth at a stage

With the heard mentality continuing to exist at much lower level of basic safety and avoiding unnecessary attention with no great interest in certain things of life himself/herself more and more understanding the fact that

HE/SHE IS ALONE!

The Post is written in line with this week's IndiSpire Prompt Why is “herd mentality” phenomena so rampant in India? So many just blindly follow what others would be doing! Or they mindlessly do what others tell them to, without questioning it. Is it "Bandwagon Effect"? Has rationality died? #HerdMentality

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY AND BELATED HAPPY GLOBAL PARENTS' DAY.. WHAT ELSE THE PARENTS HAVE TO DO?



At 5 yrs age..


"Stay near the class room when your brother is inside and bring him back in 2 hrs requesting the teacher. He can't take more than that!"


My mom told my elder brother on the first day of my schooling knowing my helplessness in the situation 100%..

At 8 yrs age..

When I jumped to ring the bell after my prayer and was harshly told by the Authorities to go away and not to cause nuisance in the premises leaving me totally confused and tensed up at that tender age..

My father instantly intervened and made it clear to the Authorities that children are the Incarnation of God and it was wrong to admonish me who was devotedly doing what others do with own limitation restoring my confidence back to 100%

At 10 yrs age..

“Dear! Whenever you are afraid of bad dreams, repeat the following Sloka of Strength..

'Ramaskandham hanumantham vainateyam vrkodaram
shayane yah smarennithyam duh swapnam thasya nasyathi'


Remembering Lord Hanuman, Garuda and Bheema before going to sleep who are forever the Mighty, Strong and Powerful by our side and bad dreams never come to you!”

Was the firm assurance my mom planted in me 100% when certain unknown fears were haunting me all along..

At 12 yrs age..

As I avoided giving my name for a speech out of an unknown hesitance, my dad straight away met the teacher and included my name and saying,

"Avoiding is no solution here. Select your topic, prepare well and speak. You will do it!"

Prepared me 100% to face the event..

At 13 yrs age..

“Dear! If you praise Prince Arjuna, Indra's son, Indra will be pleased with you and instruct the Rain God to go soft without making blinding lightening and loud thunders. Say..

Arjunah Palghunah Paarthah Kireethih Swethavahanah
Bheebhastuh Vijayah Krishnah Savyasaachih Dhananjayah!"


Was another firm assurance my mom planted in me 100% when my fears of lightening and thunders were ruling me..

At 14yrs age..

On a day I avoided giving my name for a voluntary service saying that that comes in way of my studies, my dad met the concerned and straight way gave my name assuring me 100%,

"Do both.. Involvement in such works once in a way makes you the right personality in your life!"

At 16yrs age..



"Dear! We will do all this work ourselves independently and rise to the occasion!"

Were the words of confidence my mom instilled in me 100% on an occasion of relocating home to another town when my father could not accompany us..

At 18 yrs age..

Even though constant questioning / advices started pouring into my ears from my dad like..

  • “What happened to the work I asked you to finish yesterday?”
  • “I told you to go and talk to that man and tell him……… Why did you not do that and wasted the whole day?”
  • “Go to the place, wait till the man turns out, talk to him and tell him…..”
  • “Dear! In your age, you know..I had taken up a big responsibility of..... These are also like that only!”
Shaking my confidence temporarily but indirectly helping me to be self reliant in my life 100%..

Subsequent to that as I graduated and settled in life at the back of many assurances and advices, let it be a


HAUNTING FEAR or PERSISTENT PROBLEM

Of my life, I ever had my way out and never was let down thanks to the

ETERNAL FAITH and ENDLESS CONFIDENCE

Instilled by my

MOM AND DAD!

THE ULTIMATE CHANGE.. WHAT'S IT TRULY? #CauseAChatter


I was waiting and it happened miraculously. That precious boon has been given to me to change one thing in this human world..

Left to me, I always wanted to be plain and out spoken. I ever hated the politics of

Talking politely in front but criticize next moment in the back..

If people stopped playing those games of politics around, how beautiful and worth living life on earth would be?

Yes.. Let me make use of this boon for the good of the world and bring a change here. Once I do, 


Those nightmare experiences of mine as well of those of similar mentalities surely become the thing of the past!"

The wise man next to me was heard saying..

"Why are you degrading yourself by talking like this?"

I shot back..

"Myself degrading? What are you saying? It happened to me alone many times. I wanted to be open but whoever was there in the scenario, took advantage of me for their selfish gains!"

"Are you really open here? In the process of your interactions have you at any time, truly listened to the other man?"

"????"

"Dear! What I see in others is forever the reflection of what is in my mind only..

When I see bad in others, there is no doubt that much bad is in me. And when I see good in others, that much good is there in me too..

Thus, when I am conscious of what playing politics is, I am 100% ready to play the same politics with others and there my pretension alone is covering up my talk of doing good to the world..

To that extent my mind is sure corrupt!"

I was confused.. I questioned back..

"Do you mean to say that I should keep off when certain deliberate bad takes place next to me? I'm not a Saint here to do that!"

"Yes.. Dear! We are not Saints to keep quiet when certain wrong takes place next to us. It's 100% my duty to bring out the wrong done and take necessary steps required to help those affected as well as do the required in respect of the erred persons as per the law of land supporting there as much..

When one thus continues doing right actions and rises in the Concept of Universal Oneness, the refinement in his/her actions in respect of helping out and correcting too goes up endlessly..

As an ordinary mortal, I don't know what is in store for me in respect of experiencing the Universal Love and there I am just part of the Almighty Plans my role being 

Taking out as much of my ignorance thru' right actions and keeping my house clean for dawn of Wisdom..

Simultaneously upholding 
the 

Reference to such Noble Actions

As that proclaimed by the Great Saint.. 

'The hand that hit me is serving me!'

When asked by His serving disciple to check whether the Great Man had come to consciousness after the brutal attack by a rowdy element!"

Now tell me.. Suppose I'm given the boon by God to change one thing in this human world, what should I change?

Is it not changing myself, myself and myself alone all the time?"

POISE, CONTENT AND PEACE..
WHERE DO THEY LIE TRULY? 
#CauseAChatter 


'A crow sitting on a branch of tree with a piece of meat in its beak was constantly attacked by the other crows and it had to hop continuously from one branch of a tree to the another. At one point of time, it dropped down the meat piece and all crows immediately went after the meat piece fighting among themselves. Subsequently the original crow rested on the branch of a tree calm and undisturbed!' 
.. A story told by the Great Saint

There is a duty in front of me at every moment of my life. That duty is doing a particular work which keeps my personality ultimately happy and stable. Often, I am prevented from doing that duty by my mind thru' a certain no less force.. 

It lures.. Bargains.. Makes a promise.. 
If all fail, 
Terrorizes and makes me fall a prey to it.. 

No doubt I should wage a war here but my initial safeguard should be.. I should

Smile, manage through a little diplomacy and appear everywhere a little less, 
Start setting right my 'Own House', 
Reduce my dependence as much and
Continue the routine works with more vigor..

It may be the feelings of
despondency, desperation, pain and becoming aimless or being lost in life for the time being with
the mind oscillating between the thoughts 
‘Better don’t get into it!’ 
As well as 
‘No.. Face it.. That's the only way with you at this moment!’
Both ways appearing ‘right’ and ‘wrong’..

Knowing such an attitude of man, the Great Personalities of the world have often advised.. 

"Since the absolute Right path is far away from you, the wisdom is to identify that right which is feasible for you so that neither you relax unnecessarily nor you get into too much of confrontation. Both are not good. Just restrict your life within these limits but forever keep an eye open for a 'Better Action' which can defy both the enjoyment and the threat a little more and thus lead your life!"

As I start following that discipline, soon I understand that all
Powers, Facilities and Recognition 
Are given to me not to
Rule, Gain and Feel Proud 
But to
Instill discipline, Get the work done and Improve the quality of life 
Around..

And in that state of existence 
each and everyday of mine would be filled with
Poise, Contentment and Peace
Evolving myself into a person of well balanced and stable mind and heart!

THE NO1 SUPERIOR ACTION.. THAT VERY MUCH HELPS! #CauseAChatter



The man murmured,

"The world is a cruel place. If not on guard, it engulfs in no time!"

The wise man remarked,

  • "Instead of calling world cruel, why not be on your guard and start doing something good to the world?"
The man murmured,

"I lived in this country for so many years. Nothing I got one thing special for me!"

The wise man remarked,

  • "Instead of blaming the country, as part of gratitude towards all the unseen plus you got, why not drop the idea of expecting more from your country?"
The man murmured,

"I felt that it's my state. But seeing the wide differences amongst people, I wonder what that 'mine' is here?"

The wise man remarked,

  • "Instead of pointing out others, why not get into certain works of unifying those differences?"
The man murmured,

"I was proud of my neighborhood. But seeing the endless gossips that go around, I wonder of what I should be proud of!"

The wise man remarked,

  • "Instead of lending ear to such gossips, why not take certain lead preaching something good in your community?"
The man murmured,

"Of late, I'm not happy with my family. The grown-ups are countering all those my good advices!"

The wise man remarked,
  • "Instead of finding fault with the behaviors of your grown-ups, why not just advise the right and keep off beyond respecting the members decisions 'as is'?"
The man murmured,

"Leave all that.. God was never kind to me.. I wanted a small life with some happiness and peace of mind but He never gave that in spite myself offering daily Prayers and visiting every Place of Worship!"

The wise man smiled and said,
  • "That's the exact reason why I advised you to act supporting everywhere. It's the No1
SUPERIOR ACTION
  • In this world beyond all
PRAYERS AND VISITS TO SACRED SHRINES
  • And here none other than the doer alone evolves himself/herself into a person of well balanced and stable mind and heart!

VOLUMES AND VOLUMES LEFT OUT 'SINGLE LEARNING' OF MY LIFE.. #CauseAChatter


In teenage,

At the back of great energies and vigor thinking that I was all by myself as I started interacting with the world, 
Instantly, I was corrected and educated on lines of minimum behavior required from my end with a message,

  • "Boy! Learn to care for others!"
In late 20s,

At the back of the continued energies and vigor thinking that I had learnt all as I started interacting with the world,

Again, I was corrected and educated on the lines of refined behavior required from my end with a message,

  • "Young man! You got to learn how to care for others!"
In late 30s,

At the back of no reduced energies and vigor thinking that I had learnt everywhere as started interacting with the world,

I was further corrected and educated on lines of fine managing skills required from my end with a message,
  • "Man! Don't forget to care for others as you get into managing the affairs in front!"
In early 50s,

At the back of certain lowered energies and vigor thinking that there was nothing to learn further as I started interacting with the world,

I was corrected beyond and educated on lines of shrewd leadership skills required from my end with a message,
  • "My dear! Your ultimate aim here is ever to care for others using these skills!"
In early 60s,

At the back of well perceived reduced energies and vigor thinking that I had learnt for life as I started interacting with the world,

There too, I was corrected gently and educated on the lines of adjustment required from my end with a message,
  • "Dear! At your age, how have you forgotten that we have to be considerate and caring for others in our life?"
In late 60s,

At the back of little energies and nothing to learn from the world as I started interacting with the world,

None said anything but my consciousness constantly reminded me the ultimate understanding required from end with a message,
  • "Whatever be the maturity, human mind forgets.. Know this and never say 'NO' to the task of caring for others!"
Thus in my life, I was repeatedly taught and insisted upon doing the single Noble Task Viz.,

CARING FOR OTHERS

But I sincerely feel that I never learned it in full till date with volumes and volumes of that learning left out!
