THE GOLDEN WAY OF 6 R's!

It was a tense moment..

The person repeatedly looked around desperately..

No solace was found..

Time ticked on and on..

The moments of tension continued..

"What is the solution?"

Was the question..

Suddenly, there was a Message from within..

"The tense moment is a fact as that is based on the life you lived so far!"

"Did I do something wrong in the past?"

"Not wrong but.. Yes.. The tension is the out come of expectations in life and fear of not able to meet them!"

"So, what's the way here?"

"Following 

'THE GOLDEN WAY OF 6 R's!'

"What is that?"

"Expectations and meeting those is totally not under your control even though livining reasonable there many times is possible..

Beyond..

• Remain as much calm,
• Relook at doing the duties in front more sincerely,
• Reduce the enjoying tendency,
• Relax helping around,
• Resist hurting others and
• Render a sincere Prayer to the Almighty for Ultimate Take Care..

Following that discipline continuously and coming back to tracks, the moment you become aware of the inevitable deviations from the discipline..

That alone will do wonders in your life!"

Yes.. It worked.. The person came to full attention..

The moment became lighter and beyond continued thus..

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY.. A RE-LOOK INTO MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY! #BlogchatterBlogHop

 

I was in class 7. I had an option of speaking on a subject in my Elocution Period. I avoided giving my name. My father came to know about that, straight away met my Class Teacher and included my name..

"I don't like giving speech in front of my friends!"

I pleaded..

"You should develop these skills. Avoiding is no solution. Select one of topics given, prepare well and speak out!"

Ordered my dad. I murmured within..

I was in class 9. I had to give my name for a Voluntary Service. I avoided that. My father came to know that, went to my school and straight way gave my name..

"I have to concentrate on my studies. These come in my way!"

I said..

"Try manage both. You should involve in such works once in a way!"

Clarified my father saying indirectly that there was no go there. I was angry but kept quiet..

I was in my 12th class. I concentrated, wrote the local competitive exam and was through. My father made me apply for other competition exams too where I was eligible and write those exams..

"Why all these when I am sure of my local exam?"

I asked..

"You should know what competition is!"

Explained my father..

"This way, I am confused!"

I replied. My dad kept quiet..

I had my selection of job wherein out of the two local postings I got, one had less Pay and 6 month training outside my city..

"This Company is better than the other even though they pay less initially and have training away from Headquarters. Select this one. it is a good start in your Career!"

Said my father..

"When the other Company is paying more and their training is only for 3 months that too locally, why all this unnecessary work? I want to join the second Company!"

I asserted..

"Do what I say. There is good in that for you in the long run!"

Assured my dad..

I moved out reluctantly for 6 months, had my training and was posted back to my city. I was the happiest person on the first day of going for my Job. My dad silently wished me the best. I returned late in the evening quite tired and was resting in my room. All the time I was silent. My dad asked what had happened at my first day of work..

I said, 

"They showed my place and assigned me some Work. I had to continuously do that all the eight hrs till the last minute the office closed except for lunch and tea rreaks. That's all, nothing great!"

"Yes, dear, relax now! You are at your best. All these days, my constant worry was to put you in this line which was never one day's work. It's a total build up from scratch from the time you entered your school. You might have resisted many times, but finally co-operated and joined in every activity I insisted..

Ultimately good is done to you, to your personality and to your Career!"

Said my father with a smile on his face and a pat on my back!

A GLIMPSE INTO WISDOM IN HUMAN LIFE AND THE LACK OF IT!

• Wisdom lacks when desire rules!

• Initially desire appears, wisdom prevails; subsequently desire establishes, wisdom struggles; finally desire rules, wisdom vanishes!

• Wisdom and clarity are close friends; desire and confusion are bosom friends!

• Wise people remain humble; unwise people claim they are humble!

• The wise shut their mouth and allow not the secret rule them; the unwise open their mouth succumbing to the fancy of secret, giving it free hand to reign them!

• The unwise affirm they are wise all the time, the wise doubt their wisdom during that time!

• Wisdom and calmness, the two jewel with human being eliminate many misconceptions of life!

• The wise are ever careful of the content of their talk; the unwise are ever bothered about their style in talking!

• The wise most of the time remain silent but extend a helping hand non stop; the unwise talk volumes and volumes and expect help next moment!

• The golden words ever dancing on the lips of the wise are..

"Let me know!";

The harsh words ever ruling the lips of the unwise are

"I know!"

Keyword: WISDOM

LET ME BE NEITHER THIS EXTREME NOR THAT EXTREME!

Two people were more straight forward in expressing..

"Be wise.. Extremities are never good!"

People around used to advise them..

"God will take care!"

Used to be their unique reply with a smile..

"Before God takes care, your opponent may set right things. Once damage is done, it's painful get up and stand!"

Was equally the people's caution..

On a day, certain tiff went beyond, a rowdy sheeter surfaced and the 2  were roughed up beyond. Subsequent to that, the two were recovering slowly, there were many queries..

"Where's your God now? In what way you got the help?"

"Because God had taken care, I am left at this stage!"

Were the replies of both.. Of course,

One with true humility justifying his wise doing

But

The other with pain within covering up his unwise doing!

Asserting the right way of living, on distant loud speakers Sloka 35, Chapter III of Srimad Bhagavad Gita was heard being recited melodiously with the meaning explained in parallel..

'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!'

Ultimately meaning.. 

One should repeatedly check his/her level of stamina and endurance to withstand a tough situation, before firming up on asserting and facing the same!

THE 'BLESSING' IN DISGUISE.. 'ALWAYS CLAIMING LESS!'

 

"All the issues are crystal clear and under full control!"

"Never expand and say that so easily!"

"But that is a fact!"

"Things 100% clear and Ok today, at times come out with a doubt and slip tomorrow!"

"So?"

"Always believe yourself a bit less!"

"I am confused!"

"Dear! 'Clear' and 'Ok' are relative terms with us..

What is clear to me, may not be clear to others,

What is Ok today, may not be Ok tomorrow,

And

What is clear and Ok in the present situation may not be clear and Ok if the situation changes!"

"Means?"

"Means, instead of saying 

'All the issues are crystal clear and under full control!'

Say 

"Things are well under control. Any way, I am monitoring constantly and there is no issue!"

That way,

You are taking care of the time element involved,

You are taking care of the wrong interpretations if any done and lastly

You are taking care of your job too

As

If you firmly say that everything is 100% clear and Ok on the issue with you which of course, as I clarified is not correct, what job you will have from tomorrow?"

NO DOUBT, THE JOURNEY OF BELIEVING AND DOUBTING IS ENDLESS!

"Do not go thru' life like leaf blown from here to there believing whatever you are told." 

(Socrates)

• Let me believe to certain level; let me explore beyond!

• Let me appear believing; let me believe the required!

• Nothing moves without believing; nothing progresses without cross checking!

• Believing is faith; experimenting is supporting that faith!

• Let me ever believe; let me be questioning!

• Believing is smooth sailing; questioning is back breaking!

• Often, believing starts with 'Yes' and ends with 'Ok'; not believing starts with 'How' and ends with rift!

• I believe because I don't want confrontation; I question because I don't want doubt!

• Let me believe once; let me check twice!

• I questioned, I had to pass thru' a trouble; I believed, I had to pass thru' a bigger trouble!

The believer is happy; the doubter is wise.

THE RIGHT PARENTAL CARE! #BlogchatterBlogHop

Competitive skills with a person, secure a decent job for him/her and

Creativity with the person allows artistic expression within him/her..

Both are important for full development of human being into a total personality in his/her life as

Money in hand makes one forget many woes otherwise will be very much around and

Expressing the way one wants, makes a person a contented individual..

Seen in that sense, as a child goes thru' his/her own development, the parents necessarily have to provide chance for both to come up to the extent best feasible..

In schooling and beyond,

Facing competitive exams centre around development of work skills and

Involving in extra curricular activities allows the artistic expression to bloom..

Here alone, the parents, should equally remember that

Too much concentration on earnings makes one just a robot of amassing wealth totally losing human touch and

All art and no money makes one's living tight and difficult..

No doubt, the ratio of these two vary around depending on one's parents' care and financial level..

But still overall goal of an individual is to be kept in mind before taking any decision even if one is comfortable with his/her existing monies and where opportunities permit,

The student necessarily has to get into and do his/her best and come out with a feeling that he/she did max in his/her career initiation and growth to the satisfaction of self and well wishers around budding as a/an

Competitive by taking all exams in line,

Losing no hope at any time,

Acquiring the right rank or remaining close to it and

Standing to all types of competitions ultimately becoming a

Stabilized person thru right job selection,

(CLASS)

And thru' the expression of artistic quality within, becoming a/an

Caring, 

Loving, 

Amicable,

Sensible and

Sharing

Person ultimately remaining 

A CLASS PERSONALITY

In the Saying, 

'EVEN THIS WILL PASS!',

Get up and 

Get into the immediate action in front of you,

Or

Slide down your hands to the heart level, 

Substitute the single letter 'D' in place of the letters 'SH' from your uttering,

Join both palms together firmly with an undaunted

GRATITUDE WITH ME.. SURE, A GOLDEN DISCIPLINE!

"It's my life, my living and my wish. None has a right to utter a single word on my doings!"

Saying thus, I expanded proudly. The wise person next to me said,

"No doubt it's your life and you have 100% right to define it in a way, you want. A small note.. If you decipher the tiny bits of that life of yours, have you noticed what they are made of?"

"What else? Those tiny bits are made of my doings and my doings alone!"

"Were you alone all these years of you coming up to this level?"

"Okay.. Others were there. But all works were paid back. They received money!"

"Should they not receive something else too?"

"What else? The price is ever bargained and agreed one. I paid that!"

"No doubt, you paid for it. But it doesn't end there. You know?

MY CONFIDENCE!

The task in front appeared too tough and max demanding. For a moment, I was clueless and looked up helplessly..

The Passing dark cloud was seen shining with a silver lining..

I recovered..

The neighborhood boy was heard repeating the Proverbs he was taught..

• "A smooth sea never makes skilled sailor.
• Where there is a will, there is a way.
• If you think you can, you can.
• Practice makes perfect.
• It is better be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life.
• Believe you can, you are halfway.
• A journey of thousand miles begins with a single step."

I picked up..

Right at that moment, my Inner Consciousness was seen echoing some more Proverbs I learnt in my childhood into my ears..

• 'Fortune favors the bold.
• Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
• He who stands for nothing will fall for anything.
• Action breeds confidence.
• Fake it, you will make it.

• The only way to do great work is to love what you do.
• Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts.
• No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
• Do it with confidence or not at all.'

I got almost 70% of my confidence to act..

The wise man in distance was seen quoting few famous Quotes from Great Personalities boosting my that confidence further..

• "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. (Eleanor Roosevelt)
• If we do things we are capable of doing, we will literally astound ourselves. (Thomas Alva Edison)

My confidence to act was straight away put on the tracks and I was ready to act..

Right at that moment on distant loud speakers,

Verse 66, Chapter XVIII of Srimad Bhagavad Gita

Was heard being recited melodiously conveying

The Message of Lord Krishna to Price Arjuna on


SUPREME ACTION:

'Sarva dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja

'Relinquishing all ideas of righteousness (the right and wrong as known to you), surrender unto me exclusively; I will deliver you from all sinful reactions (what your mind proposes), do not despair.'

PROBLEM WITH ME.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?

"I wish I am free from my this pestering problem!" 

I mused aloud. Instantly, the Good Spirit appeared in front of me and said,

"Your wish will be fulfilled!"

I was thrilled beyond..

"Oh! Really? God.. What a relief? Thank you, Good Spirit. I am truly blessed!"

I said screaming..

"What are you going to do now?"

"What else? I lead my normal life!"

"What is that life like? Can I know?"

"Doing my jobs and relaxing beyond!"

"Can you describe what that doing jobs means?"

"Solving day to day problems!"

"So, you are once again getting into problems. Then why were you thinking of getting away from this particular problem?"

"It is beyond my capacity to resolve!"

"What would have happened, had you continued with the problem?"

"My peace of mind would have gone!"

"Are you at peace, now?"

"Why not?"

"What happens, if a second pestering problem surfaces now?"

"Let me see then!"

"Just because, you close your eyes to the issue, the issue will not go away from you!"

"What are you saying?"

"Yes, dear.. Your fear of getting into such problems is bigger now as you are avoiding one such problem. That way you become weaker. Do you want to continue this becoming weaker on and on?"

"What? Means.. No.. No.. Never.. I don't want any weakness with me. Good Spirit! You opened my eyes.. I don't want to be off from my this problem. I'll fight it out.. Wish me all the best.. That's enough!"

As I felt my problem becoming lighter thus, the Good Spirit flew away from me as a beautiful butterfly giving me the firm hope of standing to the situation, whatever be and fight heroically..

Right at that moment, on the distant loud speakers Slokas 2 and 3, Chapter II, Srimad Bhagavad Gita were heard being recited melodiously with the meaning explained in parallel wherein Lord Krishna said to Arjuna..

Kutas tva kasmalam idam visame samupasthitam
anarya justam asvargyam akirti-karam arjuna.

O Arjuna! From where this illusion of yours appeared in this moment of crisis? This is not befitting honorable men nor conducive to the attainment of heavenly spheres and is the cause of infamy..

Klaibyam ma sma gamah partha naitat tvayy upapadyate
