THUS GOES ACTIVE BLOGGING AROUND US ENDLESSLY!


harthuryaathi na gocharam kimapi sham pushnaathi yathsarvadhaa
pyarthibhyah prathipaadhyamaanamanisham praapnothi vrudhdhim paraam
kalpaantheshvapi na prayaathi nidhanaam vidhyaakhyamanthardhanam
yeshaam thaasprathi maanamujgha tha nrupaah kasthaissaha spardhathe!


"Giving knowledge to others is the greatest service. It cannot be stolen by thieves. It gives utmost happiness and makes one resourceful. Such service does not diminish thru' time; instead it grows and can never be destroyed. The donations of a wealthy king may diminish and be destroyed at anytime but the knowledge spread by a wise man stays forever!"

(Bhartruhari Neetisathakam Verse 13)

Every person in this world is a dynamo of certain unique expression and noteworthy action. That expression / action has its own purpose in Nature where in certain good will be done to the immediate group and to the world in general..

It's sure a noble gesture on one's behalf if this is freely brought out as much as possible from himself/ herself..

During a session of teaching archery, as Master Dronoacharya asked the Pandava prince Arjuna what he was seeing in front, Arjuna said,

"I am seeing the eye of the target!" 

When the famous Sculptor was asked on how he felt about his work, he burst out with an awe seen on his face,

"Don't you see an angel imprisoned in this stone? I'm freeing her!"

The famous Devotee cum Poet when asked by the King to write praising poetry on him describing him as the highest proclaimed,

"I see the Almighty alone truly the Highest!"

When the disciple asked the Master whether He had seen God, the Master said with all firmness,

"Yes! If you want, I can show to you too!"

Seen thus, the Great Personalities of Earth forever had done a Yeoman Service to the world in their life thru' telling to the world straight what they could perceive as Truth!

Bloggers around us too come into limelight here alone when bloggers see a great thrust in them which they feel should be brought out the earliest thru' the channels of communication available with them..

Sloka 35, Chapter III from Srimad Bhagavad Gita says..

'Shreyan swadharmo vigunah paradharmaat swanusshthitaat
Swadharme nidhanam shreyah paradharmo bhayaavahah.'


'Ever safe is one’s own duty than the duty of another even well discharged. Better is even death in one’s own duty than the duty of another full of fear!'

The Great Man when confronted with rowdy elements, hid himself in the Police Control Room and subsequently on the advice of the Chief of 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 as right!

Seen in such a context, as a blogger, protecting myself from a threat becomes a requirement from my end. Thus my sayings sure deviate partly from the original expressions within me with the pressures brought out by the powerful next to me and no go here..

Thru' Sloka 10, Chapter III of Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna asserts work as the primary duty with every individual as one lives thru' his/her life..

'saha yagnah prajah srstva purovaca prajapatih
anena prasvisyadhvam esa vo stv ista kama dhuk'

'In the beginning of creation, Lord Brahma after generating all beings as a result of performance of sacrifice unto the Supreme Lord proclaimed: by performance of work (rising to the level of ultimate sacrifice i.e., self denial) may you evolve and prosper; let work (progressively rising towards sacrifice) bestow all that desirable for you!'

When a man asked the Great Man of the Ashram to give him some food as he was hungry, the Great Personality said,

"Do this equivalent work, I'll give you food!"

When the man retorted saying that how a man collapsing with hunger could do any work, the Great Personality said,

"In that case, I'll give you food. Eat, relax for a while but finish my work and go!"

When the man refused to do that accusing the Noble Personality as cruel, the Great Man remained silent..

That's the fundamental importance of work in our life and if I am blogging in my prime time/part time, I sure need to earn my decent salary out of that..

The 2 core disciplines I need to follow here when I blog are,
  • I should keep all my ears open to what my co-bloggers in the field are eagerly saying in their own way, take that 'as is' all along carrying equal importance to that
And
  • I should allow any blogger in the field to freely challenge me on what I say and be eager to know what they are interested to tell me in that direction!
Done thus diligently, sure, the Sacred activity of blogging settles at a certain point of communication with the world where in the ever Green Saying Viz.,

'ASCHARYO VAKTAH ASCHARYO SHROTAH!'

Meaning.. In this world,

'The Speaker is a wonder and the Listener too a wonder!'

Remains upheld all along!

    I love the variety of views and shared things - and even the disagreed things - for here we find the places to meet be a part of a whole whilst 'the real world' seems to want to tear itself apart... Thank you for all your writings! YAM xx
