THE STORY OF 'MY KINDNESS!' PART II #TheKindnessGene


On the road, when a family member commented that wrong was encouraged by alms giving, he said with a smile,

"Whatever you may say, At this point of time, I'm much better than the person who sought alms and I can't deny giving him that asked!"

The kindness in him superseding the corrections on the act..

When enquired on why he withdrew a certain money from his permanent savings A/c with no big expenditure in front, he smiled and said, 

"One of you brothers may suddenly ask some money and I'm keeping that money physically with me to give!"

The kindness in him planning advance action for timely help..

While conducting the mother's Ceremony, as giving an Offering had come up, he called forth one of his Assistants present there who was punished earlier by him only for indiscipline in Office and said, 

"I wish to give this Offering to you at this point of time. Please take this and bless me!"

The kindness in him not sidelining the one erred for ever..

During one of the important family functions, when the VIPs were pouring in and his brothers felt a bit hesitant to be in front of the dias, he personally got off from the dias, walked towards them and said, 

"Please come sit in the front row and witness the function. You are my No1 VIPs here!"

The kindness in him honoring the deserved in time!

When it was the time of taking care of certain important house hold items of the then joint family after the demise of the mother he said, 

"You rest take whatever you like and leave me the left out of approx equivalent value. But with your permission, I' wish to take these 18 Volumes of Mahabharata which our mother had kept with her all these years safely!"

The kindness in him truly respecting his mother's wish..

All these and many more actions of him which I am limited to list out here, truly generated one single thought in me..

"Why not follow his foot steps in this life by being kind as much in all my dealings ever making a note of the other man's problem and remain max supportive!"

That is the transformed kindness of me whatever on this date in my actions!

THE STORY OF 'MY KINDNESS!' PART I #TheKindnessGene


The kindness quality with me today is the product of
  • The original kindness of mine the origin of which is unknown to me at this moment,
  • My genetically acquired kindness,
And
  • My transformed kindness with certain kindness acquired as I lived thru' my life..
If my original kindness excels the genetically acquired kindness as well as that acquired under the transformed kindness, that original remains

'AS IS'

As kindness can never be practiced and exists as

WHOLE

With me in this life..

That sum total kindness of mine in day to day life equally
  • Appears as fake harshness from my end outwardly often when extended towards my loved ones and the like for their betterment,
  • Comes out as kindness behavior of mine for kindness sake often exhibited by me on occasions that demand kindness unless my own as on date excels that demanded..
And
  • Shows up as pretended kindness from me outwardly covered up by real harshness within in moments of disturbance of my peace within, the level of my pretension often remaining indirectly proportional to my original kindness..
As I am thus forever, the individual of

Limited kindness

As on date with various duties and responsibilities attached to me, taking up those responsibilities with all sincerity and doing the related duties well with an ultimate Prayer offered to the Lord is sure

THE GATE WAY

For being

'MORE KIND'

In this life!

'Om bhur bhuvah svah
Tat savitur varneniam
Bhargo devasya dhimahi
Dhiyo yo nan pracodayat'

LIVING THRU' TRADITION.. WHAT'S IT LIKE?


The No 1 clarity available with me this day in my living is..

I continuously live with 3 groups of people in my life Viz;
  • The family group, 
  • The working group and 
  • The socializing group.. 
Whatever be the conflicts therein, I shouldn't at any time
  • Fight with them, 
  • Try to transform them or 
  • Ignore them.. 
But only

Serve them wholeheartedly

And that'll bring all the required magic to my life!

Sri Adi Sankara says,

'Bhaja Govindam Baja Govindam
Govindam Bhajamuu Dhamathe
Samprapte sannihitekale
Nahi nahi rakshati Dukrijnkarane!'


'Worship Govinda Worship Govinda Worship Govinda.. When the leaving time nears, rules of grammar will not save you!'

While He was going thru' the streets of Kasi with His Disciples and when noticed a Sanskrit Scholar repeatedly stressing upon his students to pronounce one of the words to perfection..

Equally thru' Verse 4, Chapter III of Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says,

'na karmanam anarambhan naiskarmyam puruso snute
na ca sannyasanad eva siddhim samadhigacchati!'


'A person can never achieve freedom from reactions to activities without first performing the Vedic duties prescribed; neither perfection would be attained by renouncing them as well!'

As I start understanding the 2 Sacred Messages in front of me, it soon becomes clear that

My Ultimate Aim in life is to be in Total Communication with the Cosmos which is infinite time away from me at this moment with the worldly bondage embracing firmly and to reach That Ultimate, the only way in front is..

Be doing the basic duties thru' the traditional approach known..
Here alone when certain thoughts surface in me no doubt, totally law bound like..
  • ‘Let me be myself all along enjoying myself in this one life in front. I needn't do anything different!’
I should be aware that the self interest in me which the law of land doesn't question within limits alone is stressing that never permitting me truly rise in my life except
  • Making me feel that I lived my life to full satisfaction thru' the comparative living.. 
In the process, it makes me forget that that freedom is time bound only and when a tough situation surfaces which no way is guaranteed not to happen whatever care I take,

I'm not going to be the same person but sure
  • A distracted personality in the situation feeling miserable finding no way out! 
As the purpose of this Vibrant Life in front is never to be such a lost person at any time, it's a must that I with all alertness,
  • Look at what I am doing, 
  • Streamline my thinking and 
  • Get into the so called duties defined with me.. 
Seen in such a spirit, our Original Traditions advocated by

The Great Seers and the Wise of the world

Who equally cared for providing changes to these with passing times are truly rich in

Values and Disciplines..
  • With no reason required to know beyond in that direction as 
Nil injury to the Creation alone is proposed all along

At the back of the Selfless Love of those Great men and Women!

No doubt with time, some of those traditions were interpreted by few powerful people for their selfish gains who could forcibly bring changes to them making it a hectic job for few dedicated Personalities to fight out those evils if not in full and bring them under control..

The remaining coercive rules and regulations still in vogue this date are truly a black mark on the society and here alone

I should 100% refrain from following these modified/wrongly interpreted traditions of course again,
  • Again with no reason required to know beyond in that direction as
A certain injury to the Creation however small it be, is invariably proposed therein
  • Due to the inherent self interests of few powerful!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2019.. A TRUE MEANING TO THE ONLINE WRITINGS OF OURS!


When the youth of today are asked like stop for a minute whenever someone sneezes before actively moving on, they no more believe there, often question like..

  • Why should I stop my works?
  • Where's it written that I should do this?
  • Who originally started this?
  • Which one had gone wrong, when not followed thus?
  • When did you see the wrong actually happening?
  • What's the origin of all this talk?
  • How can you simply say all this without any solid proof? 
Etc..etc..

And never settle with such impositions unless they are reasonably convinced..

No doubt, such a Great Enquiry Spirit with modern youth should never rest unless the same is reasonably answered and justified but few times, we equally hear around us talks like..

'I can't rest now.. My hectic running round with my works surely brings in the results and accordingly alone I plan and expand in my life!'

And

'This is my life.. I work, earn, spend, save and live all by myself as per the principles of economics. What's wrong in this approach?'

Here alone if we just ponder over the life in front at the back of the constant endless movements of ours within as well as outside of us, it'll in no time be evident that

Those movements are nothing but series of approximations and adjustments and never the straight line paths of mathematics. That being the case, it's sure wisdom to pause, see partly the reality and then alone move on steadily rather than believe blindly in our own thinking..

It means otherwise..

Not to run with that mad thrust other than the normal required / approved / expected from me on an average and thus continue doing my duties

And

Whenever forgotten and subsequently remembered, again try optimizing the speed based on priorities in front rather than my likes and dislikes..

As I live thru' my life thus, actions like sneezing etc as well as hurrying up beyond from my end would become less important to me at the back of

The discharge of duties with me alone gaining prominence with

The other man ever surfacing in the scenario as the one who is seen truly eligible to receive part of my attention well within my limits and capacities, all along

I for max time, remaining as witness for all those happenings with a new assertion within Viz.,

'No doubt, it's my life alone.. Here sure, I work, earn, spend and save but give too to remain as truly human all by myself. This alone is the right approach in my life!'

Seen in such a context, the online writing from my end as a

Reviewer, Influencer or Blogger in whatever field

Sure should continue at the back of that understanding and then alone I would be doing justice to my writing at my level as traces of my those writings/sayings forever go in the

  • Interest of that man on this earth who is no way related or known to me staying far away in the remotest corner of the earth but 
Truly eligible to receive benefit of my action!

A VERY HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR 2019 TO ALL MY BLOGGER FRIENDS AND FB FRIENDS!

The Post is written in line with this week's IndiSire Prompt Most book, tech, lifestyle, food, and fashion reviewers and influencers, reviewers, and bloggers are idiots who hardly understand what they are doing. Do you agree?#OnlineWriting

A SURE END TO THE ENDLESS ADVISING!



  • “Yes! Money is the most precious entity in our lives.. It is rightly said, take care of the pennies, pounds will take care of themselves.. 
Take a pen and paper, note down every pie which otherwise goes unnoticed and add up over a period of time. God! You know how much would that come to? Can't imagine.. It's roughly....."
  • "Dear! The Saying applies only to those people who spend away monies lavishly without thinking of future. Monies are basically meant for living a standard life and growing up. A percentage of it should necessarily go on charity too and the remaining alone should be our savings..
Better take our advice, change your thinking and be the right personality of your life!"
  • "You know.. We often waste many of our day to day consumables without our own knowledge.. Many times excess are bought, some items are not properly stored and equal number of them are physically thrown away in small quantiles without our knowledge..
Take a pen and paper, note down the worth of every piece of this wastage which otherwise goes unnoticed and add up over a period of time. God! You know how much would that come to? Can't imagine.. It's roughly....."
  • "Dear! What's the point in living a life all along thinking of such savings forgetting other important aspects of living? At one stage we have to leave all this and go from this world, isn't it? And at the back of such monies with us, the children too do not carry the right respect for us..
Better take our advice, change your thinking and be the right personality of your life!"
  • "Money need not always be in cash or in an asset form. A facility extended to us by our company is also money paid, nothing less at any point of time..
Take a pen and paper, note down all those equivalent monies that accrue to us which otherwise goes unnoticed and add up over a period of time. God! You know how much would that come to? Can't imagine.. It's roughly....."
  • "Dear! The facilities are given to us to see that we do the assigned work well in an environment conducive for the Company's growth and business expansion. We should never convert that into money and feel paid thus..
Better take our advice, change your thinking and be the right personality of your life!"
  • “I'm eligible for all this medical treatment given by my company. See, such a nice room is given to me with phone, TV and internet facilities. There's extra space too for another person to stay and help out..
Take a pen and paper, note down every rupee equivalent given here which otherwise goes unnoticed and add up over a period of time. God! You know how much would that come to? Can't imagine.. It's roughly....."
  • "Leave all that dear! Thank God, the problem has gone light for you else these types of accidents a few times may......
Better take our advice, change your thinking and be the right personality of your life!"
  • “See! As I look out through this window of my room in our hospital, I see the beautiful garden in front of me with thick bushy trees at a distance standing over the green lawns. For the days I'm here, am sitting in this comfortable chair relaxing and having my evening tea.. 
Take a pen and paper, note down every rupee spent by my company that is indirectly given to me which otherwise goes unnoticed and add up over a period of time. God! You know how much would that come to? Can't imagine.. It's roughly....."
  • "Dear! See the reality once. All this can be enjoyed only if we are all right; isn't it? Your stars are good else.....
Better take our advice, change your thinking and be the right personality of your life!"
  • “I forgot to mention one more thing. All this is given along with a special leave from my work which is nothing but money paid indirectly..
Take a pen and paper, note down every rupee given to me here indirectly which otherwise goes unnoticed and add up over a period of time. God! You know how much would that come to? Can't imagine.. It's roughly....."

Just then a gust of wind thru' the open window turned over a few pages to Chapter III of the Great Scholar and the Saint Bhartruhari's Nitishatakam lying on the table pointing to the Sloka..

'labheta sikataasu tailam api yatnataha piiooayan
pibec ca mrugatrushshikaasu salilaha pipaasaarditah
kvacid api parayat an sa sa vishaasham aasaadayat
na tu pratinivishta muurkha cittam aaraadhayet'


Meaning..

'We may extract oil from a fistful of sand,
Quench our thirst by drinking water from a Mirage,
Fetch the horn of a rabbit by going around the world
But can never appreciate / understand a fool's mind!'


Which instantly put an end to the relentless advising done till then!
