ORIGINAL ONE; FACES MANY!

Long ago there was an ‘Original Expertise’ around..

• People were into it,
• True experts were in news and
• The followers were true lovers of being into that expertise at various gradations..

Time moved on and brought its own changes..

The followers increased in numbers but the experts making a living out of the expertise too increased but in a disproportionate way. Soon it was a situation of

Many mouths to feed..

No doubt, the resources were limited but few who had less expertise and more smartness suddenly became active in the field..

In no time, serious thoughts and plans were on the anvil. When such a mushrooming takes place around any field, 2 distinct things sure happen..

‘Dilution’ and ‘Different ways of saying the same!’

So slowly many boards started appearing..

• The Super Expertise.. Nothing to beat it!
• The Extra Ordinary Expertise.. You can never believe!
• The Novel Expertise.. From the very roots!
• The Unique Expertise.. A life time experience!

Soon people were slowly dragged to gather around the places of

‘The once upon a time single expertise’

Talked under different

Names,
Titles,
Medals and
Propaganda

Showing extra interest finally culminating into a state of living around with

What all was not there in the Original Expertise

And

What all was not needed for the Original Expression!

As the pay master was thus ultimately mesmerized to be happy with that in front, 

Nothing could stop the momentum gained in the process with the fortune makers shining all along, 

Of course none knowing the ultimate destination of the upsurge!

WHOLENESS OF LIFE.. WHAT'S IT LIKE? #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

There were again and again moments of charm, alluring and overpowering..

One abstained, again abstained, further abstained, further too abstained and continued thus feeling within..

'I involved whole and soul and made it a totally disciplined life for me!'

The 2nd involved, enjoyed, experienced, expanded and continued thus feeling within..

'I involved whole and soul and made it a totally enjoyable life for me!'

The 3rd involved, abstained, involved, abstained and continued thus feeling within..

'I involved whole and soul and made it a totally meaningful life for me!'

God smiled from above..

'The Rose in My Creation has a Thorn..

One who

Abstains, again abstains, further abstains, further too abstains and continues thus

And

One who

Involves, enjoys, experiences, expands and continues  thus

Both miss the

WHOLENESS OF LIFE

As they see everywhere

Either

THORN ALONE WITHOUT ROSE

Or

ROSE ALONE WITHOUT THORN..

The one who

Involves, abstains, involves, abstains and continues thus alone

Is into the

WHOLENESS OF LIFE

As that person alone sees everywhere

ROSE WITH THORN AS IS!

ZEROING DOWN ONESELF.. WHAT'S THAT IN TOTAL? #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

I read a Message,

"There are 6 enemies in you and they are constantly bringing misery to you. You are provided with 7 tools of investigation to constantly check those 6 enemies of you..

Make use of your Spirit of Enquiry liberally and Evolve!"

I felt so good for the moment and instantly promised to myself to do that with all sincerity..

I looked up at the enquiry tools, found 6 'W's and 1 'H' and decided to use them liberally to question the 6 enemies within me..

Time passed..

I was one way better but the other way more confused only and couldn't find reason for that..

Soon, I approached the Head of the Monastery near my house, narrated what I read and the subsequent discipline I followed and requested Him to clarify why peace is away from me in spite doing all that..

The Head smiled and said,

You tried questioning 6 enemies of you with 7 tools of enquiry liberally but did you think at any time why 7 tools are given to you to question 6 enemies?"

"I don't get it!"

"Means.. There is a 7th enemy in you!"

"What Sir? I heard about 6 enemies alone all along. No 7th one!"

I shot back..

"Dear! You have the 6 enemies in you and you should constantly be questioning them with your tools of investigation.. 

"But, whatever you may do there, at the end of the day, you are hand in glove with those enemies; doubtless..

Meaning, 

YOU ARE THE ENEMY TO YOURSELF!

Seen thus, the ultimate corrective action for the day should be that enquiry turning towards you with the never fading question..

'WHO AM I HERE?'

Try getting answer there for the day and continue that enquiry day after day endless, I assure

Peace stays next to you!"

TRIPLE 'YOU' AND TRIPLE 'YOURS!' #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

A man had certain difficulty in his life..

Immediately, few around and some visitors tried helping him out to recover and feel better. But a much expected elderly well-wisher of the man just made an enquiry on phone promising that he would soon visit in person..

The man felt doubly bad as the elderly whom he hitherto believed to be very close backed out at the right moment..

"This world is like that only!"

He cursed and felt very sad within..

Right at that time, a close friend unprecedentedly offered certain help to him for long period reiterating that it was his duty to share the friend's burden..

"I think I need lessons from life on whom to believe and whom not!"

The man thought so and instantly felt happy that whatever be the difficulties, life would be worth living as long as such friends were there. Soon he was on to his routine jobs with renewed energy and vigor..

Later on a day, the same elderly well-wisher visited him. The man controlled his emotions and saying nothing invited the well-wisher. After a brief talk, the elderly enquired how the man was doing. The man instantly shot back,

"Sir! I thought that you would be the first one here and extend the necessary help. Now I know who really are my well-wishers. A close friend straight away shared part of my burden greatly relieving me from the trouble!"

The elderly looked at him, paused and said,

“Dear! I'm happy to see that you are doing well and recovered from the difficulty. Your friends no doubt did a great job and are doing that even now. But I advise you to take control of the situation, do not take things easy and relax further any more!”

The young man felt quite offended and was about to explode but still controlled himself. The elderly continued..

“Dear! I understand that you are hurt. There's nothing wrong done by your friends. But,

Whatever said and done certain responsibilities of yours are always yours only. It's Mother Nature’s Order and they can't be delegated to any one on the earth as long as you are in

'FIT AND FORM'

Condition. No doubt, people are sympathetic and helpful to you. Thank them profusely for the help extended but here,

• You should get up,
• You should get hold of the situation and
• You should into action immediately..

Whatever be the situation,

• Your own right doings out of
• Your physical and mental exertions at the back of
• Your own resources

"THE TRIPLE 'YOU' AND THE TRIPLE 'YOURS'"

Involvement alone are the best for you in the situation and nothing less.. If required,

'LIMITED BUYING HELP'

Is treated as a temporary option here where necessary. More than this,

'NOTHING ELSE IS SACRED!'

The man shot back,

"Sir! You talk so easily of discharging someone's duty ridden with so many difficulties. How come, you being the No 1 well-wisher of mine never turned up on that day myself struck with the difficulty but cooly come now? Should you not practice what you preach?"

The elderly smiled and said,

"Yes, dear! You are right in asking me here and I've my answer too for that..

At that moment, I had to handle my one of my crucial family responsibilities and God had permitted me then only with a minimum time to enquire about you. I did that according to His Order and continued doing my bounden duties..

The moment I was off from the crucial ones, I took my time and I'm here which is sure

THE DUTY NO 1 OF MINE WAITING IN THE QUEUE NOW!"

'X' MAY BE OK IN MATHS; CAN'T BE 'X' IN MY LIFE! #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

The time was 6 AM the early morning hrs of Sunday.. From the loud speakers of the Ashram, the Famous Devotional Song was heard melodiously sung by the Singer explaining the meaning by the side thus..

'Oh mortals!

Why don’t you buy the Lord Rama’s ascetic medicine?
This medicine sure eradicates lust, anger, arrogance, envy and avarice in you if you take heartily..

It dispels all the accumulated sins at one stroke..

This is a unique medicine in the world and none can buy it even if ready to spend crores of rupees..

Ardent devotees alone can get this by meditating upon Lord Rama and they ever take it with pure devotion; nothing less!'

After participating in the Bhajan, the Head of the Ashram for the day started his discourse and soon continued..

“A disciple happened to see his Master in certain Environment.. 

He thought,

‘Our Master always advises us to keep distance from the attractions of the world and such a Great Man is seen in this Environment? Let me follow secretly and see the end of this drama!’

As he thus followed, in no time he saw his Master attending to one of His routine works. The disciple could no more keep his guilt feeling within himself and the next day expressed the same in front of his Master requesting to pardon him.. 

The Master smiled and said,

'Never leave this questioning attitude anywhere, at anytime with whomever and in whatever situation especially in Spiritual Path!'

As the Head said thus, one of the devotees instantly questioned,

“Reverend Sir! I've a doubt.. If I should not believe in anything unless I'm physically satisfied thru' my enquiry, how is that the Great men of the World straight away preached,

'Believe in God' 

Thru' all devotional songs?"

The Head replied,

“Dear! What the Great Men spoke of Faith or Belief in God is not the usual word we use in the world in respect of worldly dealings. Questing worldly issues is number one duty with us and establishing what is what is the most important aspect of our lives..

When the Great Personalities said

'Believe in God'

They basically meant

'Believe in the life that does the ultimate good to you thru' your own discrimination and thus continuously rise to the best of your abilities whereby ultimately you yourself would experience 

'Divine Presence!'

Here we, the normal mortals are all equally eligible to aspire for that Highest and the Great Personalities further advised us to live our life with the basic belief that 

Discharging our ordained duties to the core

Is 

The known immediate God to us!”

SURE THE VIRTUE OF HUMANS! #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

"Hello! How are you?"

The sweet voice at the other end of the phone queried..

"May I know who is speaking please?"

I asked totally taken a back..

"You don't remember me?"

"Remember? Did we meet at any time?"

"Meet? I was next to you for such a long time"

"I was with you? Sorry.. I never had such interactions!"

"What are you saying? Once upon a time, you were a lost person and you alone craved for my association. Seeing your condition, I could no more keep off from you and became close to you..

I still remember, how cheerful you were all those day with me next to you and we both moved together endlessly remained a success everywhere..

Unfortunately, slowly that....... started advancing towards you and you got mesmerized there in no time. And the so much loved one, me you left having got entangled with that attraction!"

"When all this happened? I never remember any such long time association with any one outside my circle!"

"That's what happens in time.. You loved me so much, almost worshipped me and never could imagine life without me.. But today you speak like this..

The sad part of my life.. 

And I am with you once again to cheer you because you exactly got into similar sad situation as the other lured you beyond and left you suddenly making you weep endlessly!"

"Please stop all this. I can't take it any more or remember anything. I am already feeling so bad presently. Tell me who are you talking so soothing and sweet, dear?"

"HUMILITY IN YOU TO CHEER YOU UP AS THAT PRIDE WITH YOU MESMERIZED YOU BEYOND AND DUMPED YOU TODAY!"

THE VERY MUCH LOVED 'U' TURN OF MY LIFE! #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

The stranger in distance was seen waving and calling me. I walked up to him and asked what he wanted. He smiled and said something softly in my ears. I couldn't believe myself. Am I dreaming? I pinched myself. No.. It was 100% a reality in front of me. An instant offer of..

MASSIVE WEALTH AT MY DISPOSAL..

Totally my own,
Perfectly lawful,
No great effort from my end needed and
Can be bargained for a higher amount too if wished so..

In return of a single simple action from my end which is 100% legal..

What else any one wants in his/her life?

No doubt, it was the moment of great excitement for me. A permanent solution for the eternal shortages of my life.. 

'LET ME GO AHEAD WITH THIS PROPOSAL; NO TURN BACK.. EVERYTHING IS 100% LEGAL!'

I firmed up and  said aloud 

"I'm ready!"

With boundless happiness within..

Smiling at me, the proposer whispered something in my ear on what I need to do..

No doubt almost effortless action. But

Hearing that I became pale and a great fear instantly overtaking me..

What really would be my life if I give up what the man asked for when..

'The vagaries of nature suddenly shake me up,

The life around which I believed appears the next moment empty,

The trust I kept would be at stake in no time,

The ideology on which I relied upon for years, suddenly looks dry without substance,

The escape from the unpleasant looks totally meaningless and

The involvement with heart looks all disheartening?'

Can I auction that for any amount of materialistic gains?

No.. Never.. Never.. Never.. I'll do that!

Suddenly I got up from that very bad dream of mine almost shivering all over my body my heart pounding hard and as I sat on my bed, I slowly recollected where I was and understood that it was just a bad dream of my life..

I switched on the light and looked at the clock. It was showing 2 am beyond midnight. The weather was cold outside with the sound of droplets of rain hitting the tinned roof hard. As I looked outside, a powerful flash of lightening instantly blinded me followed by a deafening sound of thunderbolt struck in distance..

Instantly I came to attention, folded my hands, prostrated in front of my Deity Lord Shiva's Idol in my room repeating 

Shiva Panchakshara Mantra 

Within myself..

'Om Namah Shivaya Om Namah Shivaya
Hara Hara Bole Namah Shivaya!'

Having calmed down thus, further I switched off the light, rested on my bed and slept peacefully for the rest of the night for not relinquishing the thought of

MY ETERNAL FAITH IN ALMIGHTY

....... Even in my dream!

DANCING TO MY TUNE.. WHAT'S IT LIKE? #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

A young man suddenly felt great urge towards Spiritual Life and was very much fascinated by the lives of Ascetics and Saints. He regularly started attending the Spiritual Discourses given around in his area, reading the Spiritual Books found in Libraries and in Reading Centers and getting himself engrossed in all the matters related to Spirituality.

“If I can't dance to my own tune, what's the use of this life?"

Thus he used to speak out very often..

The young man's parents were worried. No doubt he got educated and was doing a good job but they expected him to settle in his life. They at length sought the advice of a well-wisher who promised to help them out in that scenario. Accordingly on a day, the well-wisher met the young man and straight away said,

"Dear! Why not we visit the Great Monastery near by......... and seek blessings of the Master of the Sacred Shrine?"

The young man instantly was thrilled and agreed to go there along with the well-wisher. They both planned a visit of 3 days to the Shrine and in that context made a few travel and lodging arrangements for the same. The well-wisher said,

"When we are there for 3 days, let's go through the specific life aspects of the Great Saint which can be a model of living for us!"

The young man instantly agreed to all that said..

As they thus went there and started going through certain life aspects of the Great Saint, they came across a life event of the Great Man wherein the Great Saint having totally resigned from the mundane life and truly leading an Ascetic Life too took up a specific earthly responsibility posed to Him on an occasion..

When the Great Saint was meditating, the Saint’s mother in the last moments of her life was brought by few disciples to the Master. When asked by the Master, the mother feebly replied,

"I want to spend my last moments here by resting in your lap!”

The Master immediately held her, kept her head on His lap and thus rested her for a while. And it so happened that she passed away thus in peace. Subsequently, the Master asked the disciples to take her body away and do the rest as there was nothing he had to do there further as a Man of Renunciation and got back into His Meditation!

At that point of time, the well-wisher looked at the young man, smiled and said,

"Dear! Do you see how the Great Saint of the Earth who was totally freed from the mundane life except from traces of it too felt about discharging of His basic responsibility when confronted with a situation thus? That way seen it's a long, long, long way before the mundane responsibilities of ours fall off from us and we are freed..

Further, if one who forcibly embraces the Ascetic Life at the back of inherent mundane interests, sure spoils his own life and beyond spoils the Serene Spiritual Environment around him too where he tries to fit in vain!

Then tell me now, what's the true dancing tune of yours at this stage of your life.. 

Leading a life with the attached core responsibilities 

Or

 

Embracing Spiritual Life by renouncing all those responsibilities?"

AS 'SELF' ELEVATES.. #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

"I am 100% right.. 100% right.. I say 100%.. Nothing less!"

"I am 90% right.. That 10% not right is nothing!"

"I am 80% right.. 20% not right is natural!"

"I am 70% right.. Ok.. 30% is not right and you can't expect more from any one!"

"I am 60% right.. Agreed 40% not right took place and I should have been careful here!"

"I may be 50% right.. But I should make up for that 50% not right.. That's most important!"

"I can't be 100% right; At most 40% and very much, I need to contribute for 60% not right!"

"At most, I may be 30% right; 70% not right is sure.. I need to rise to the occasion!"

"Ok.. Take me 20% right.. That's nothing.. Still 80% not right is with me. Let me be humble and make up for that missing!"

"I am 90% non right; that 10% right counts nowhere. It's indirectly 100% not right only. Let me rise to the occasion and do the required!"

"It's always relative right I feel and that has got no relevance if I truly see it. Agreed Absolute Right is at infinite time and distance away from me and the whole purpose of this life is steer towards that and be doing assigned duties with devotion not carried over by the result as much!"

Just at that moment, 

Sloka 47, Chapter II of Srimad Bhagavad Gita 

Was heard on the loud speakers of the nearby Temple being recited melodiously with the meaning explained in parallel on what Lord Krishna said to Prince Arjuna..

'karmany evadhikaras te
ma phalesu kadacana
ma karma phala hetur bhur
ma te sango stv akarmani'

'You certainly have right for prescribed activities but never at anytime in their results. You should never be motivated by the results of the actions, nor should there be any attachment to doing your prescribed activities!'

QUALITY SELF EXPRESSION! #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

Sage Narada once asked Lord Krishna,

"What is the Power of Illusion?"

The Lord smiled and said,

“I will tell you.. Before that, can you fetch me some water from one of the houses seen in distance as I am thirsty?”

The Sage immediately went to that Colony to fetch water. An attraction in the area soon

• Held Him there,
• Further one involvement led to the another and thus
• He was permanently into series of circles of activities settled in the new place..

Every ‘Up’ in life will have a ‘Down’ sooner or later, here, the Great Sage too had no escape and when the ‘Down’ followed Him, he was left alone feeling utterly helpless and instantly Prayed to the Lord..

Next moment, He heard, Lord Krishna's soft voice His ears..

"Dear! Where is my water?”

Such an Illusion otherwise called Ignorance is a powerful entity with me which constantly hovers around continuously deluding me in my life. To get out of its influence is an infinite task and whenever I say that I'm freed there, it means I'm under its grip in a different way..

In fact, there's no total getting out of its hold for me. That's the exact reason why the Great Saints and Masters of Spiritual Life even at the back of their Great Understanding surrounded by the traces of Ignorance, just allowed it work through them sincerely undergoing the related suffering..

The Ignorance in me makes me believe strongly that everything is rosy around when the background is really not so.. 

If I start doubting it in a discrete way, it senses the same and instantly shows me either an alluring life that would be lost if I deviate from its path

Or 

In case I am firm on foregoing the same, terrorizes me with the consequences of myself getting off from the life it laid out for me through severe punishments ahead leading to ultimate extinction..

Naturally I, as an ordinary human being is always limited in facing these extremes and sooner or later will listen to this strong force in me.Thus this powerful but treacherous one forever gets its work done thru' me i.e.,

Shows a rosy life in front covering up the Truth in Nature and when met with a failure, makes me get up with another promise and thus playing it's game endlessly!

And the other name given for such an Ignorance in me is my Self Interest!

In such a scenario, for an ordinary individual like me, the only path of living my life minimizing the effect of this Self Interest is to just to discipline myself

• Sticking to my own laid out duties to the core,
• Not going after the surrounding attractions and enjoyments beyond even if the social and legal systems permit and
• Developing forever an attitude of caring for the next man in difficulty

Thus changing the raw name of my Basic Self Interest to 

Quality Self Expression!

If I lead such a disciplined life with an ultimate Faith that

'I am an infinitesimal part of that Greater Movement!'

That my Quality Self Expression is bound to precipitate with the revelations of 'Specks of Truth' that bring in truly certain Joy and Peace in my life!

PARTING WITH.. WHAT'S IT LIKE? #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

"Sir! I've a doubt. The Master proclaimed,

'You move one step towards God, God moves 10 steps towards you!'

Here, I humbly understand that if we help some one whole heartedly in times of his/her dire need, he/she sure responds positively to that doing and in some fashion be ready to help us back. Even if the situation doesn't warrant any physical help still the individual would be ready with his/her moral support by our side and wish for our good. Am I right?"

"Yes.. Dear! You are very much right in interpreting the Great Saying thus!"

"But, it's our practical experience that there are a few around us who after taking the best from us would vanish from the scene whenever we've a problem and reappear only when it is seen that we are out of any help requirement giving a few lame excuses and thus once again hang on to us for the next benefit.. Am I right?"

"Yes.. Dear! You are right here too!"

"Then Sir, please tell me how the Great Saying truly supports this type of behaviors? Does it mean that I should just bear such few behaviors patiently all along but not leave my giving path and thus live this life? Can you kindly clarify here?"

"Dear! You've brought out a good question for which I'm sure I've the answer as the Great Saying is ever 100% right..

When I, as a giver unhesitatingly give from my end the receivers whoever be and whatever be their behaviors subsequent to my giving, I am straight away blessed with God moving the 10 steps towards me as 

That parting without an expectation of return puts me in a different mental plane where my happiness is truly not a function of what happens further to that action..

In this scenario, I may be an infinitesimally small personality but the progressively elevated souls of the world do much more beyond in spite of getting no return rising to a level of continue giving and blessing the receiver without an iota of protest even when certain damage is done to them too ultimately leading to the famous words that spontaneously came out of the Great Saint..

'The hand that hit me is serving me!'

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

NEW AND OLD.. WHAT SHOULD BE THE RIGHT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THEM? #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

"It's an Old idea.. No relevance to today's times. New forever should be on forefront!"

"New may have certain plus but Old forever is gold. Leaving old and embracing new? The thought itself is frightening!"

"We've seen thru' history what that gold of Old is. Full of hypocrisy and cruelty.. What else other wise?"

"How can you say that so easily? Many foundations of today over which active living goes on are of Old origin only. How much anyone can straight away depend on the so called New about which not much is established and proven?"

"Old at times was rotten too. Which Old was free from terror as well as suppression?"

"Suppressing and terrorizing are ever going games of the world and here New too is nowhere away. It's another devil in angel's mask!"

"New is out of the fight against evil of Old. It's the dynamic spirit with masses and that can never be stopped. Newness of new never fades in the world and history is ever witness to the wickedness of old!"

"Old is established reality thru' heroic fight against evil. New is nowhere here in picture because all is New!"

"OLD IS NOT GOLD BUT ONLY TOLD THUS. IT CAN NEVER STAND BOLDLY HAVING FIRM HOLD ON NEW. KEEP IT IN COLD STORE NEATLY FOLDED AND WRAPPED UP. THAT'S ONLY THE WORTH OF THAT GOLD!"

"ALL SO CALLED NEW ARE JUST MORNING DEW DROPS READY TO MELT AWAY.  WHATEVER, FEW ALONE VOUCH FOR NEW.. PHEW.. I'M NOT CAUGHT IN THIS NEW CHAKKAR!"

Listening to that conversation, the wise man mused aloud..

Why so many controversies between old and new?

Better know that

Old is not all that ever shining gold

And 

New is not that scrap to be straight away dumped..

What missed in old, the new sure has

As the purpose of new on this earth ever that alone..

Take that boon of new and turn a golden leaf in your life

by being dynamic and vibrant..

Again to say,

 All new ever misses the rich experience of old

As

It has to stand the test of time and evolve..

Seen thus, it's ever the golden way to embrace new as much surrounded by values of old..

Done thus, new flourishes with dynamic thrust and starts doing it's own good as old keeps filling gaps of sure new making it lively forever!

SURE MONEY TALKS! #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

The young man soon after his graduation on job hunt went a bit beyond in spending on an occasion..

“Whose money is it? I'm earning and you are happily spending. That way even crores will melt out in no time. Learn to contribute where you spend!”

Were the harsh words from his dad who was more worried on his boy's future..

That struck the young man seriously; soon he increased the pace of his search looking out for his job. He was smart and so getting a job with a handsome salary was not a difficulty..

“This is my money! Now, I can do anything I wish with this!”

He beamed..

"You should be careful in your spending. Here, your habits are important. Easy money in the hands of young people forever is a problem!”

Were the comments from others indirectly and directly from the parents..

Soon he was a responsible man in the society with various duties with him. At that point of time some sizable spendings were there on a few occasions..

“You should be vigilant here when huge monies go out. After all, these monies are very much required in future for you and your family. Keep a watch!”

Was the advice from a few well wishers….

In time, he was a man of mid 40s.. With certain enthusiasm ventured into a business which failed. Many sympathizers were around him..

“Dear! You should be careful in such Ventures. Money lost can't come back. Check well before investing. After all, our monies are not huge but precious!”

Were the good advices and indirect comments..

In no time, he was in late 50s.. Holding a very Senior Role in his Company and a dad of grown up kids..

“Whose money is it? I'm earning and you are happily spending. That way even crores will melt out in no time. Learn to contribute where you spend!”

Were the harsh words from him when his son soon after his graduation and on job hunt went a bit beyond in spending on an occasion!

'LET ME LIVE MY LIFE!'.. WHAT'S IT TRULY? #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

A man of middle age often carried the thoughts..

“There are many unseen dangers and pitfalls in every aspect of life. We should forever separate the good and bad and consume or interact with only the agreeable ones. If we are careless, the disagreeable ones slowly accumulate and over a period of time cause irreparable damage. Externally also, there are many wrong ones around us with which we come in contact constantly and there too, we should be careful. So, taking into account seriously of what is often 

• Heard,
• Talked of, 
• Read, 
• Preached 

and by

• Observing meticulously, 
• Examining everything, 
• Selecting the least damaging,
• Consuming that minimum, 

Let me live my life!"

Another man of the same age group carried the opposite thoughts..

“Life is great and worthy of living. And every moment of it, should be thoroughly lived through. There's no point in saying that is not good, don’t go for it, keep off from that etc.. etc.. Ultimately, these words remain as words only with us and a life of great fulfillment will silently slip away from our hands. After all, at this point of time in my life am sure, I can sufficiently take care and avoid the real pitfalls..

So, taking into account lightly of what is often

• Heard,
• Talked of, 
• Read, 
• Preached 

and without

• Doubting everywhere
• Sacrificing many
• Losing the enjoyable,
• Becoming a specimen 

Let me live my life!

The contemporary 3rd man carried different thoughts..

“I've to just live a life of happiness and contentment and there is no exception to this. Neither going after endless fulfillment out of a false pride nor keeping off from everything out of a baseless fear will ultimately take us nowhere and there I surely miss the very purpose of living on the Earth.

So, taking into account rightly of what is often

• Heard,
• Talked of, 
• Read, 
• Preached 

and by

• Optimizing everything, 
• Averaging all, 
• Expressing heart-fully,
• Rejoicing forever within

Let me live my life!"

As days passed at one point of time in their lives,

• The first man was a half dead with too many fears,
• The second one was hit by excess involvement 

But 

• The third man alone had the best of his life!

'KNOWING'.. WHAT'S IT LIKE? #BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

"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..

"Leave knowing.. These days, I forget many things!"

The very elderly man of 80s murmured..

The wisdom around him remained silent!

JOB ON HAND.. WHAT'S THAT WITH ME?#BLOGCHATTERA2Z 2023

On Monday morning I blurted out..

"Oh! A week's working in front!"

My Consciousness warned me saying..

"Only the Great Saint could say..

'I need not work. I have no desires to satisfy!'

You are a bundle of desires and for you, hard work alone is the safe way of sailing thru' life. Don't ignore!"

On Tuesday morning I screamed within..

"Weekdays drag on. Feel like I'm spending long hrs at work!"

My Consciousness mentioned the missing link there saying..

"When the spouse advised,

'Why not take rest for a day and do what you want?'

The Famous Scientist said 'Okay', got up the next day early morning hrs and went to His Lab!

An attitude of liking what you do alone does the trick of overcoming such dull feeling in you!"

On Wednesday morning, I complained flat..

"This boss is eating my head. No time to breath.. Unending tasks!"

My Consciousness made it clear saying..

"The Great Man refused to give food to a hungry visitor who refused to work equivalent even after his hunger was satisfied..

No go.. Bosses speak thus as they are under double pressure. None is free here!"

On Thursday morning, I wondered..

"I have an urgent personal work and the boss asks me to make alternate arrangement. If I can't do that much to my family, why am I working so hard?"

My Consciousness brought out the right point there saying..

"The Great Saint too before embracing Sainthood was advised to live full family life and then alone go for Renunciation..

Family responsibilities are Sacred, family problems need to be addressed in time but there is a way to do that thru' good planning. Check up if that plan is missing with you or you have taken it easy there!"

On Friday morning, I thought I could at least assert myself..

"Oh! It's already Friday! Great.. I need to plan for a good weekend!"

My Consciousness advised me there saying..

"A Great Saint said, 'Earth is the floor of my home, Hills are walls of that and Sky is roof over that!'

It's still a weekday of dedicated work and postponing or fast closing issues in front never does the good. A Service attitude to humanity makes you take this day too like any other weekday!"

On Saturday morning, I expanded full..

"It's my day now.. I can do what I like.. None can say anything here!"

My Consciousness reminded me there saying..

"When the Great Man was asked whom he would serve first when His own son and another man with the same need were in front of Him, He said, 

'If so, I serve my son first as I have more duty towards him than towards the other man!'

The day is basically for the family. They worked with you all the days sincerely supporting you all along. Make them truly happy by spending the day with them well!"

On Sunday I unconsciously murmured..

'Ahh! Many personal chores pending. If I miss here, there'll be no time next week to attend to them!'

My Consciousness well clarified to me there saying..

"The Great Saint too having taken up Severe Penance and finding no dawn of Realization, stopped that for a while, got up, freshened, ate some food and then alone sat for further Meditation and Penance..

Taking care of self and family is basic duty. Those pending works are not chores but important tasks that could wait for a week to have your attention but no more than that. Finish them diligently and be at peace!"
