THE WRONGS OF DEMOCRACY.. HOW TO ADDRESS THEM IN A PRACTICAL WAY? #WRITEAPAGEADAY

"Sir! Sometime I wonder what type of Democratic Ruling we have..

Take the example of the ordinary individuals around us..

Some of them, constantly and surely would be observing the glaring wrong being done by few people at the back of certain muscle and money power with them and how the public getting misguided by these vested interests.. 

But they are equally afraid to talk on that as they sure know that if they do that beyond, they'll be shown their position in no time.. 

That way seen the ordinary men and women around in spite of clearly knowing the wrong going on around may just be keeping off out of fear of threat or backlash if the same is openly brought out.. 

If that is the fate of the few so called intelligentsia of the society, the ordinary person who can never conceive at this depth is totally gullible in hands of the power mongers and rule implementors and thus the system forever goes thus unchanged.. 

Please tell me, what great freedom one can experience in such a system around other than keeping silence and living their life?"

• "Dear! I understand what you are saying and definitely it's difficult to the knowledgeable to speak out openly on the likely wrong intentions behind the proposals and rules made by the vested interested groups but their responsibility never ends there towards the society if carefully looked into these aspects in depth!"

"What are you talking sir? What these intellectuals around us can really do dedicatedly as the powerful forces around can straighten them in no time? Not all are so great to withstand the hardships they would face in the process.. 

Definitely there is stage where they start acting neutral if not along with the wrong as they find life otherwise miserable for them alone. What way they can help to stop this powerful exploitation which goes on silently but eternally?"

• "Yes.. What all you said is correct and none of the so called intellectuals around us should act without seeing their own strengths to face the onslaught that would be targeted at them if opposed beyond. But they equally are not totally tied down there..

• A person who knows the wrong that can happen or the feasible wrong intentions behind any proposals made by the rulers of the system, should talk on that softly thru' the channels available with them without bringing out explicitly targeting any one in the process and try educating the people around them continuously..

• If this much is constantly done by the persons who I agree are so weak to talk or bring out beyond, an initiation is truly done in the minds of the listeners around him/her who mostly are like him/her only but could not grasp this point till then.. 

• They in turn become part of such movement at a very primitive level. And I'm sure a few of these listeners start looking into the aspects talked of who in turn become supporters of this silent movement..

• Thus a movement starts where the ordinary knowledgeable persons become truly a party but without any fear of backlash in their minds and that sure lays firm foundation for the required change!"

RESTRAINT ON PURSE! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

A young hard working man was spending money beyond on luxuries and fancy items. That was what his best friend thought. He advised him many times but the young man never cared. Thus, he was a little sad that his friend might soon get into problems..

During one of these days, he approached an elderly gentleman who was related to his friend and requested him to intervene/advise his friend on spending less..

The elderly smiled and said, 

“It is no doubt good if one spends limited in life and saves for future. But some individuals do not understand the safety of this. The mental make up is like that.. 

If advised, they give various explanations for this attitude and none would be rational to the people who are careful. It is a situation where you can't correct the erring man so easily. But no despair.. 

Nature has a wonderful mechanism of controlling such personalities and bringing back to discipline. As the monetary balances come down with spending beyond a level, they only indirectly exert a restraining force on such an individual.. 

Seeing the balances coming down, the individual develops an unknown discipline. Care follows soon. It is like a chain reaction..

As balances come down, more and more restraint in spending develops. That itself takes care..

But this will not happen in 3 circumstances…

No 1.. If spending is on addictive habits, this discipline will not develop because the force of addiction over takes any thing. One should be careful in this respect.

No 2.. If some care taker is accounting the finances on behalf of such an individual, it will not work. So the spender only should be physically taking his/her money and checking the balances.

No 3.. If one is not working, the draining is sure to accelerate as part fill up will not be there to compensate and further the idle mind in active working hours propels more spending.. It is ultimate catastrophe!

As this young man is away from the above 3, the process of down fall in his case is always very slow and tapers in time. No major corrections are required here except giving simple advices now and then!”

The friend was truly relieved with this piece of advice given by the elderly!

ONENESS AROUND! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

A man wanted many things in his life. He worked hard for all those. But he was knowing that unless Providence favors, nothing comes through and that way he was a firm believer of God. In respect of all important activities where there would be a reasonable gain, he necessarily used to pray to God before initiating the work. He thus theorized his activities and made it known to everyone around thus.. 

“Wherever I go, I have only two works. Making a Gain and visiting the Worshipping places. No other activity!”

Thus he became too materialistic in his life..

During one of those days, he visited a Saint at his place before starting a new errand. The Master blessed him and said, 

“Your wish of today will be fruitful soon!” 

And the proposed venture was a big success!

After a few days, he staked one more and before venturing, he again visited the Great man. The Master blessed him as usual and it was again a grand success. He was thrilled beyond.. 

The 3rd time, he planned a very big venture, with full attention and prayerful attitude approached the Master and the Master blessed him as usual. In no time, The approach became a total failure! 

The man was too restless and straight away headed to the Master to know how that went wrong. The Saint looked at him, smiled and said, 

“You got what you wished for!” 

The man was at his wits end..

The Master continued, 

“Dear! When you wished for fulfillment of worldly interests, all of them together with gain and loss are the entities involved. So how does it matter which one you got? Still you got the worldly activity fulfilled for you!”

At this point of time, The man instantly understood that

When he wished for a gain in the world, the loss was by the side, 

When success was aimed at, failure was with it as inseparable associate and 

When possession was sought, non-possession was part of it! 

He thought, 

“The wisdom of living lies in 

Planning broadly for betterment, 

Praying God for guiding in that direction and

Taking whatever results come as offerings from God..

Nothing more than this is ‘my own’ here and the activities thus have to continue as much in my life!"

COMPLACENCY IS EVER OUT OF PURVIEW OF ASSIGNED TASKS! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

A man of mid 30s was a bit complacent in respect of the crucial activities in life and his answer for any questioning on that behavior was a little pathetic and strange. With justifying statements like, 

“Nothing will come with you. We have to leave all this and go one fine day. hence just do the the minimum for living and thus be contented. All great men and women too have advised us to contain ourselves and lead a simple life. 

The Great Saint said,

"I need not work!"

Another Saint said,

"Work for work sake and when you find time stop working and meditate!"

Seen thus, there is no ultimate use of all these doings and we will be caught more and more in bondage as we do more and more. Continue doing a decent job with certain earnings and take care of yourself and your family and just be doing these and be at peace!”

Thus, he used to support his attitude..

An elderly well-wisher happened to be a man of wisdom listened to this talk for a while and at length decided to correct the man gently and firmly bring him back to the vigorous action front. Accordingly, on a holiday, he met him and after a few specific enquiries said, 

“Dear! I am seeing you for the past sometime being complacent in your required actions. Are you doing all this in the right way?”

The man instantly replied with all confidence, 

“Sir! What I tell is truth and I am sure I don’t want anything here more than this. I’ ll just help out my dependents to become capable and if they want they would find their own ways of making their riches and getting into comforts. There is no need for me as well it is no duty with me to help them beyond!”

The elderly smiled and replied, 

“See, my dear! It is not the issue that some one wants from you or you yourself don't want many things.You have certain capabilities with you in the form of good health, strength, education and contemporary knowledge of living.  Further you live among the similar type of people in your society who are all doing many activities to the best of their abilities!” 

The elderly paused and continued, 

“Till you know the true reason which prompts you from refraining doing all these specified actions, the right way in front of you is start doing these very actions whether the wealth, name and fame come with you or not. You are no one here to judge yourself and stop these actions.. 

When you stop all these actions and reason out thus, I can only say that you are not talking out of any great wisdom in you except that either your own lethargy or fear of venturing is making you to talk like this!” 

"???????"

“Yes, dear! The Great Men and Women have talked as you say only when they had really seen the Truth in life and thus were truly free from the burden of bondage.  Even then, all Great Personalities too continued their activities with them as long as they were part of the society and they kept off only when their Knowledge was more useful to the world in another direction..

But for people like us, the actions in front alone are the real saviors of life and God is forever watching us how devotedly we do these actions and how honestly we do. Rest is His Grace on us and we don’t know when that descends on each individual but never on the man of sluggish actions!”

A GOOD JOB TICKED BY THE ALMIGHTY! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

It was

THE TOUGHEST MOMENT OF LIFE..

The blame,
The abuse,
The rebuke

And what not hit the Heart hard and in the process the Personality was almost brought down to zero with a squeeze in the heart..

But strangely the man affected firmed up,

“I’ll not yield by reacting but only act as required!”

Thus passed a certain time with nothing but

Confusion,
Aimlessness and
Sadness

Alone ruling all along..

Strangely the same time again did a wonder to him with the tension setting to withdraw slowly but never accepted the defeat and exited only to return at the next appropriate hr with double intensity!

The man too not accepted a victory there. With all humility, he repeatedly made it clear to his mind that he

Would not give back even if a volcano erupts 

Nor 

Would celebrate if stood through

But

Would just do the Right never interfering with the others' decisions!

The dark clouds,
The roaring thunders,
The pouring rain and
The gusty winds

Soon became a thing of the past with

The sun returning back to clear skies and calmness prevailing around..

In the process, the trees which reacted and opposed in a hurry had a severe hit where as the grass that never reacted but acted remained intact..

And the man's calmness too returned in a certain time intact after all that storm within..

Having seen the drama of his mind so clearly, the man once for all firmed up to manage coming up situations with a smile alone with Peace that had set in the process itself paving way for

More humility and less aggressiveness in him.. 

And ultimately, thru' such Sacred Discipline alone

TRULY A GOOD JOB

Was done in the Eyes of God!

THE YOUNG ADULT'S SPIRIT OF EXPERIMENTATION IS GOD'S GIFT! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

“I got fed up with the attitude of my fellow. See Sir, these youngsters do not know how to plan and do their activities. They simply have odd plans and try to get into nonsense situations. They never see the true cause and effect. I am sick of advising and telling my fellow. He simply wastes a lot and never bothers about it.

He plans some thing and leaves in the middle.
He gets into with lots of enthusiasm and in no time all is watered down.
He promises to show the moon, thank God, many times I stopped him.

I don’t know when this boy becomes alright and stops giving me head aches!”

Thus spoke a father with a clear disgust on his face to an elderly well-wisher about his son who was sitting tight on his head!

The well-wisher listened to all, paused a while, smiled and said,

“My dear! I understand your turmoil. I too recommend that the youngsters are to be guided in all these issues at the right time. But the important thing here is that all the time they be guided gently and softly alone. Never in a harsh way! It is better we constantly explain the cause and effect and if possible make them party to both so that the immediate issues are seen and partly experienced by them without much damage as we will always be at their back….

See! The young adult alone has the jest to learn and experiment and he/she with all inquisitive spirit and energy always rushes in that direction..

The only thing is..

He/she does not have enough resources to do that and we only have them! So as a first step, the caretaker should allow him/her go ahead with the experimentation. May be

Some times it goes in an entirely different direction of growth and up lift which no one would have thought of,
Some times some improvement beyond which every thing tapers off,
A few times no growth at all and once in a way a down fall too..

All are equally possible but the experimentation of the young man should go on without a stop.

Let the monies and energies that go in this direction be limited and well be under control so that the entire loss if it occurs too, has no effect on immediate life!

Such experimentations done in youth bring or give the right personality to the young adult which stabilizes very much in his / her later part of life.And

It is a sin to put a total brake to it or allow it only at chocolate level which is as good as not allowing it!”

TRULY EXPRESSING MYSELF NEVER NEEDS PREPAREDNESS! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

A young man had seen a sizable ambition in him compared to his friends and others around to pursue certain interests in his life. He thought, 

• “I understand that my ambition will never feed me and provide essentials in life. For those requirements and future coming up needs, I have to earn through my work, save monies max and thus soon secure for a stable present and future. When done in this way, I would definitely be a free man and can comfortably and steadily pursue my interests and express myself as I truly wish!”

Thus he decided and got into a set of planned actions simultaneously making it known to every one around

An elderly well-wisher of the young man who happened to be a man of wisdom heard his talk a few times and at length decided to speak to him..

One cool evening he met him at a place and after a few enquiries casually said, 

“My dear! I understand that you are taking all the care and preparing yourself for major eventualities so that you would not be disturbed unnecessarily as you start doing what you wanted to do in life..

But please tell me one thing.. 

Having done all this, where is the energy left out with you to concentrate on your the so called 'Ambition?'  Most of it would have gone into this preparedness and with that left out, what concentrated effort you can make to Investigate or Probe?”

The young man had no instant answer for the question..

The elderly smiled and said, 

“Look dear!  When I am highly charged in one direction, there will be no an extra time and extra energy for preparedness in life and all these will be used fully for the subject Investigation and Probing..

Further, all people around me too at that point of time would be propelled with eagerness to help me out as my Probing then would become the very purpose of Nature. And to say truly.. The Entire Universe would respond in that direction!

The very fact that I am well planning for all the eventualities itself shows that the 'Ambition' in me had not reached the level required for true Investigation and Probing! 

It is always wisdom that I make a firm note of this before proceeding else my pride would over take in no time through a feeling of superiority, achievement and success and does its own unaccountable damage around without myself knowing it and so many number of stories have repeated thus in the past..

Do you want yourself too be doing that by being neither here nor there?"

THE EVER GREEN MESSAGE TO HUMAN BEING! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

The Arishadvargas surrounded the person and cheered up. Instantly, the individual started causing eternal damage around 

By burning with jealousy followed by harming attitudes as delusion meticulously supervised forcing God Agni absorb all that,

By accumulating with greed followed by fillings everywhere as delusion meticulously supervised forcing Mother Earth support everywhere,

By putting on airs followed by boasting proudly as delusion meticulously supervised forcing God Vayu cushion around

And

By desiring everything touching horizons as delusion meticulously supervised forcing God of Oceans put up with the invasion impact..

As those malicious activities went beyond with the person showing no let up, Panch Bootas decided to put an end to the eternal wrong going on and looked at God of Space..

Next moment,

The person exploded with anger around followed by violent behavior as delusion meticulously supervised and the one next reacted beyond and instantly attacked!

There was a Flash from Skies,

"No doubt, the Arishadvargas are ever with human. Instead of following

THEIR EVER DAMAGING MESSAGE,

'Explode, Encroach, Expand, Exploit, Extract and Enjoy the world!'

Better human follow

THE EVER GREEN MESSAGE NEXT,

'Cheer up, Change, Contain, Care and Cherish in the world!'"

THE HUMAN FACE TO A PROBLEM..WHAT'S IT LIKE? #WRITEAPAGEADAY

“Sir, what is meaning of having a 'Human Face' to a problem?”

“My dear! The tiger in the forest is majestic, firm, ruling and is a symbol of strength. These qualities are required in me too in all my dealings and actions in the world and the same have to be insisted upon everywhere. 

But the wild beast is equally ruthless in its approach, which does certain distinct damage to life in the neighborhood and disturbs the peace around. And that type of ruthless quality of causing a damage to the neighborhood should never be with me at any time!

In contrast, the deer around is innocent, all loving, adjusting and is soft spoken in its approach. It totally shows a type of consideration without expanding itself beyond. Even a kid goes near to it and feeds it with all love and affection.  These qualities too, characteristic of the deer are a must with me when I interact with my people around. They should forever feel free to discuss their issues with me without hesitation.  

But the deer at the same time is too timid and runs away from the spot at the slightest noise or threat. That quality should definitely be not with me as cowardice has no place in my day to day activities..

May be the two distinct animals have their own purpose in Nature to maintain the Eco-balance and hence they behave that way. But as a human being, I ever have a duty of being less selfish and be away from these negative qualities encouraging the positive ones all the time..

When I express and live myself with this total personality, I can say that I am doing my activities with a 'Human Face' in my approach to the problems of people around!”

THE UNQUE ACTIONS OF GREAT PERSONALITIES.. WHAT ARE THEY LIKE? #WRITEAPAGEADAY

“Master, it is many times heard and read in our Sacred Books that the Great Men and Women of the earth have acted in varied ways at certain specific instances even though we, the ordinary human beings were repeatedly told to act in a particular way in line with our duties and responsibilities and further were asked never to deviate here for our own good.. 

I have a doubt here.. 

Should it not be imperative for the Great Personalities too to stick to the 'Path' well known as the 'Right Path' and thus create no doubt in us for their Unique Actions in specific instances..

For example, 

The great warriors of Kurkshetra War who were truly Personalities Worthy of Worship knowingly well have sided 'the wrong doer Viz; The Kurava Prince' when they could have come easily out saying that they can never support the 'wrong' even though they were members of the Kuarava king’s court? 

Knowingly well that the Prince was never a righteous man, why at all they were in his Court? They could have left him in the beginning itself?”

“Dear! At this point of time, we will not go into details of all these Actions of Great Personalities which our Sacred Books and Epics have narrated in a particular way as the more important point is to be discussed in this context.. 

What our Sacred Books reiterated as our duties is a relative phenomenon in respect of an ordinary human being who is far away from the Divine Knowledge even though he/she is forever working in that direction. Till that dawns in one by the Grace of God, continue doing the Sacred Duties laid out in front is the safe way of sailing through this life and thus be at peace and there is no doubt here..

In respect of the Great Men and Women of the Universe, They have their own way of interacting with the world purely out of their Universal Love towards the humanity. Every such Great Personality had own reason for such action at a moment simultaneously had no reason.. 

At the back of their Pure Love for the humanity, any action done by them was justified as the Right Action of the moment and the entire Universe geared up to support such an action. These Personalities who lived on the earth just to unwind their left out effect of earlier deeds were thus truly Evolved Souls who were the Embodiment of Truth just living on the earth. Their actions thus forever were Sacred and invariably were approved by all round!”

THE REAL COURAGE IN LIFE! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

4 friends living in an area had all of a sudden a catastrophe befallen on them. It was really a difficulty of major reshuffle from theirs existing cool life..

The 1st one said,

“This is too much! I can't put up with this kind of nuisance for the rest of my life. I am off from the scene!”

Thus saying he planned and after a few days really totally was off from the scene..

A few well-wishers had questioned on his personality in this regard and commented that he was a coward of the situation!

The 2nd one said,

"I can't run away like a coward. I am the ruler here and you be seeing, I will control the situation in no time and none can talk against me!"

Thus saying, he immediately evaluated the situation and nicely and quickly positioned himself in such a way that the path was of least conflict for him and for any problem that might come up in future, he kept ready the real powerful..

People tried questioning his integrity but were silenced in no time!

The 3rd man said,

"This is nothing! What any one can do if I firm up? Be seeing, how I control the situation!"

Thus saying, he started acting tough not knowing his base, that moved on for a while with the powerful in the game allowing him freely but they sensed that he needed to be shown their hold, just gave back to the man once which made him withdraw from the active scene..

The 4th man said,

“There is a task in front of me and the Almighty is watching how I handle it. I‘ll do the right here max whatever may be the resistance from various quarters and stand to the test as much!”

A few close well-wishers warned him on the consequences of doing the right in that situation as he might earn more enemies in the process..

The man smiled and said,

“You are right. I'll be pulled down many times. There is only one way for me. The Right Way.. The problems what you foresee are for the world and for the people who are around the issue but not for me!

For me it is a task to be completed based on the principles of Truth and Justice!

I conceived the Right,
I am speaking the Right and
I am going to do only the Right!”

The Almighty smiled behind the man of unshaken Will Power and blessed him in his Sacred Task!

WHATEVER SAID AND DONE, LET MY PROMISES FOREVER BE REALISTIC ALONE! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

“My people expect too much from me. Many times they put me under so much pressure and I'm confused on how to meet their demands. If I don't do that, they become sad and I too feel bad for them.

In such a scenario equally at times, they rebuke me saying,

• 'What happened to you? Can’t you do this much for us?' 

That truly irritates me as I'm already struggling my best here but it's not clicking. I'm totally clueless and at times am wondering why I'm in this sad state!”

Thus poured out his agony a man of mid forties, to one of his well-wishers and expected him give a solution to the same.. The well-wisher comforted him for a while and said,

“I understand your state of mind, dear and I sympathize with you for the suffering you are undergoing presently in your personal life.. But I tell you, you should make a note of one important point here.. i.e.,

Whenever you interact with people around you, you should take special care to see that they don't get into an attitude of having too many expectations from or hopes on you.

That's because, when you start creating a belief in them that it's possible to possess or get more if things are done in a particular way, they soon develop a faith in you that you are their savior capable of doing anything and expect you continue your working in that direction to get what they want.

But since nothing is really guaranteed in life, it is not be possible for you to continue to provide that and soon you have to back out. That situation really produces a great unrest and disturbance in your people who are already charged to see that happen..

In such situations, people unknowingly get into blame games and the associated vengeance and enmities sure come up there without a say.

If they are closely related where vengeance has no place, a type of feeling that they have been taken for a ride or let down comes up in them. It happens at the core family levels too and makes our life unhappy all along..

Instead, if you constantly encourage your people to exert and get what they want forever remembering that your job is only providing the feasible environment for that doing in the situation and nothing more thus

‘Nipping the wrong hope in the bud stage itself!’

It may be a pain to do so initially depending on the person in our interaction but the dust settles soon and further activities in life will be streamlined in no time..

Remember.. It is said,

'Satyameva jayate nanrtam!'

And so at any point of time,

Promise what is just feasible and be done away with it!

As Lord Buddha the Prince turned Saint, soon after His Realization, walked thru' the streets of the kingdom along with His disciples and came right in front of His once upon a time Palace, the King unable to bear the suffering of seeing his son thus, came down and said to him,

• "You, as a son gave the greatest pain to your father!'

The Lord said,

• "I am not the cause of your suffering. You thought that being a king alone is the highest in one's life. Much higher is the ascetic life thru' renunciation of that very title!"

Thus seen, forever it is greater wisdom in me to live a life of Truth alone as applicable to me which many times looks so ordinary and uninteresting rather than try pleasing my people thru' false promises endlessly leading to nowhere!”

POLITICAL GAMES.. WHAT ARE THEY LIKE? #WRITEAPAGEADAY

In the beginning,

Religion, Politics and Wealth

Were in front of human..

God said,

"Let

• Religion be only for improving your personality,
• Politics be only for managing the person with you

And

• Wealth be only for your well-being and charity..

Contain and cherish!"

Satan said,

"Let

• Religion be improving your political image,
• Politics be to keep others under your grip

And

• Wealth be for your enjoyment and expansion..

Expand and enjoy!"

All decided to follow God's Advice.. But

Few had fallen a prey to Satan's words and they started controlling the rest thru' political games..

Some one queried,

"What type of political games are yours?"

Pat came the reply,

"Our strategy is simple..

A machine cuts a part into pieces of uniform thickness. We say here, human is the best to do that job as the person involved gets wholesome employment. Our actual aim is..

Those parts made will never be of uniform thickness and there we will have 100% chance of blaming the human and keep the person under our indirect control continuously!"

THE PROBLEM ITSELF IS MANY TIMES THE SOLUTION! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

A man got into a no less problem in his life. As life moved on, many started sympathizing with him. For that, he smilingly used to say,

“See! In life in general, when a problem surfaces or threatens to surface, there is a profound fear in us as the immediate cozy and comfortable life is disturbed or is going to be disturbed. That way, problems will be coming and going in our lives. But when we find no permanent solution to a problem, then we have only two options in front of us..

Either be afraid for ever and thus live a low life with head bent down forever or

As even a cat when cornered gives back, react on the positive side and firm up the mind that the end would seen whatever it be!

That way life is peaceful immediately and any how, how the future is destined no one knows!”

There is a saying that if one stoops down to a level of taking out everything from a person, indirectly the person is freed from the other side and having begged up to a stage for not taking out the things, suddenly the affected individual feels free and starts acting firmly!

The above distinctly shows that many times our fear and the tension of how the problem gets resolved create more trouble than the actual pain the problem gives as time moves on..

So it is the attitude in life which ultimately gives us happiness clearly making us know the ultimate purpose of our living and the impermanency around.

These truths always totally bring solace to a disturbing mind which otherwise feels that in the whole life some thing seriously is lost. In fact, if the understanding deepens, voluntarily relinquishing

Comforts & luxuries,
Wealth and
Titles

Takes place embracing a simple life and a highly contended feeling firms up in the mind..

A Great Phenomenon in Nature!

WORK ENVIRONMENT.. WHAT'S IT LIKE? #WRITEAPAGEADAY

A Senior Executive in an Office had a few Assistants with him. One of them was a very obedient personality.  Taking every order and attending to the task given to the core and thus delivering what was asked for.. But the Chief always used to point out him here and there commenting that he was not up to the mark….

The other Assistants having observed this for a while, felt sorry for their colleague and one fine day, asked the Boss why he was targeting the Assitant all the time who was really good at work..

The Boss smiled and said, 

“Dear! You all very well know that we are into a serious business when we sit here for our work. Here, we are supposed to do not only our work but be constantly aware so that we are not caught in a gullible situation through our own the so called simplicity.. 

That way seen, there is nothing like doing a fixed work and getting away even though it looks simple that way.  You should ever remember that the work environment is like a war zone where you are like a warrior.. 

In any war, you always have three most important duties with you at any time..

• You will enter the war area at the right place, in the right time with proper defence with you..
• You will fight out to the level required and finish the task given to you in the earliest time with all vigor.. And
• You will quickly retreat from the area before the enemy tries to spot you and catch you..

In a similar way, in work area too all the while,

• You should be well equipped with all training, information and the right tools before hand as you start the work..
• You should be working with all vigor and finish the task well in time..  And
• You should see that the task is delivered into the right hands and all privacy required in this area is taken care in a diplomatic way..

Without these disciplines, if an individual is at his/her work, he/she will quickly be caught off guard and attacked by a few vested interests who are in for grabbing the opportunity and make a hay in the field..

That way, by employing a half competent person like this man who knows only the work but not the rest, the Employer may lose or may land up in problems of strained relations, unnecessary blame or at times may get into few critical issues from which getting out will be a real a problem!”

REVEALING TRUTH.. WHAT'S IT AND WHAT'S IT NOT? #WRITEAPAGEADAY

“Master! Can I reveal the Truth known to me to people around as our Spiritual Discipline strictly restricts the same saying that the Truth is a secret. Unless the recipient is elevated to the level to receive it, revealing of the same does more harm than good.I am confused in this situation!”

“Dear! What Great Saints have said is true but this understanding of Truth and revealing the same to the world happens only when the concept of ‘Mine’ and ‘Not mine’ falls off from these personalities..

As we are much away from this scenario, what all known to us as different from what many know is described as ‘the relative truth’ and this knowledge is something like I am partly freed from the ignorance and that level of Truth is instantly evident to me but I continue to live this mundane life at the back of desires and suffering. It is something a small step up..

This relative truth if revealed to the world out of an enthusiasm in me to educate the people on these lines, that action does more harm to me first and no good to the receiver..

The reason here is..

As the receiver is confused unless the effect of my revealing is light, he/she is bound to react adversely for the confusion suddenly arose and out of the confusion there is likelyhood of damage and suffering to both..

So the ideal way is straight away not to get into this mode but wait patiently till the other person queries on this out of own enthusiasm..

Even at that point of time the person of greater understanding should just tell him/her the minimum required but encourage more only on doing the right simultaneously himself doing the right all the time..

Ultimately this doing ‘Right’ alone removes the ignorance’ of both individuals and that alone is the sure way for elevation..

If this is truly practiced in life, it ultimately is the same as respecting the Reality as secret only and nothing less!”

PITFALLS OF CARELESS VENTURING IN BUSINESS! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

• Delinquency at work is the most dangerous attitude. I build my Empire through my own hard work. The Empire thus built can be lost in no time through delinquency!

• The lost Empire can never be regained one to one at any point of time subsequently. What would finally settle may be a patched up low key business!

• Any counter argument saying that venturing is a dynamic attitude, risk taking is heroism or 'I will build better Empire' etc., should never be brought out when delinquency is at the back of mind!

• No Employer or Customer likes a man of casual approach with him/her and delinquency always reveals this approach sooner or later!

• The competitor is just waiting round the corner to make use of the right opportunity at the cost of my being delinquent!

• It ultimately boils down to taking a beating from my competitor who wields my own weapon used earlier by me to establish discipline and order in my Establishment!

• He/she makes hay out of my delinquency and takes the benefit of all those golden initial efforts I had put into my baby venture!

• Sweat is safe, slow and steady win the race and lot of permutations and combinations of happenings have to be seen before deciding on a new Venture!

• Further, time, energies, finances available and market conditions play a dynamic role in streamlining these actions!

• Beyond, my own psychological dispositions too have to be taken into account before proceeding!

Let me ever remember.. 

’Rome wasn’t built in a day!’

ALWAYS LEAVE AS WINNER! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

Two Assistants were working in a project under the same Boss. There was a vacancy of promotion and as one of the Assistants was extra smart, he was promoted reporting to the same Boss for the same project and the other Assistant remained 'As is'..

In the new scenario, the Assistant not promoted was offered two options of reporting.. Either

‘As is’ situation would continue, he reporting to the Boss direct or

He would report to the promoted one..

The gentleman instantly chose the second option..

Someone asked him,

“How can you report to your own earlier colleague in the same Dept? Instead you would have been more free, had you chosen reporting direct to the Boss!”

The Assistant remarked,

"No doubt it is a pain to report to an earlier colleague but in my case, the 'As Is' condition is a much greater pain. My colleague was specifically promoted to take care of this project with more responsibility and in this situation if I allow him to work along with me, the power soon may corrupt his mind and my closeness may bring in an wanted ease in me with him..

If I report to him, all this will set right once for all and our psychologies will soon adjust to the new situation as there would be no go for both of us in that situation. That way instantly, working becomes smooth..

In work arena, it is impossible to work with full dedication unless powers of each one are well defined along with the attached responsibilities..

All friendships, relations and other closeness phenomenon beyond have no place there..

In case I really want to stop all this, the only way in front of me is to resign from the present job or shift myself to another project leaving my own project..

But the Golden Rule here once again says..

'Always leave only as a winner in the existing place but never as a loser!'

So, there is no option for me at this point of time!"

LET ME RISE TO THIS GOLDEN MEAN PATH OF ACTION AS MUCH IN MY LIFE! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

I may say it either as 

• Despondency, 
• Desperation, 
• Pain, 
• Becoming aimless or 
• Being lost in life, 

The experience is the same..The question here is..

Should I face this and live through or never get into it at all?

The wisdom in me says, 

‘Better don’t get into it!’ 

The heroism in me says, 

‘Why worry? Face it when it strikes. It's not worth wasting time pondering over thus. Meanwhile you lose many things!’

No doubt both the ways are ‘right’ and both ways are ‘wrong’ too. The reason being.. 

I talk from a ‘lower plane of action’ wherein these issues are not in my purview on the face of it. But it does not mean that I am totally away from them as I too can do my bit there..

If understand this much and without further loss of time, the immediate entity in front of me is.. 

‘The Unique Right Action at the Moment’ 

And all the attention in me should be to see how best this action is done with certain awareness..

The lower end of this action has my base living, my own pleasure and the minimum of the other man’s welfare..

The higher end is exactly the opposite.. 

Between these two limits, the gap is infinite!

Here, the attention in me should be to carefully perceive where my action lies and evaluate whether it can be pushed up the ladder a bit with a perfect ease in me to a level wherein once again it brings in sizable resistance in me which truly creates a disturbance.. 

If once these limits are reasonably evaluated, no doubt I would soon reach my level. Again, further ‘Up’ too is my own job but coupled with my luck and the God’s Grace on me!

LET ME AVOID EMPTY PREACHING! #WRITEAPAGEADAY

"A King and a Saint simultaneously advised on ‘Good’ to two Groups of people separately.  Both the Groups had taken up the message and a definite improvement was seen in their actions of doing the 'Good.' 

Can you tell whether there was any difference in the results under the advices of these two Personalities?"

Asked the Master, a Group of ardent listeners..

There was a total silence..

The Master smiled and said, 

"The King’s advice had always the Authority behind, direct or indirect. People on the face of it took it and followed without much thought in the direction of 'Good' because whether they liked it or not, ultimately they had to do that way else they were afraid of the King’s wrath, not from the good King really but from the Assistants down the line who could equally wield power partly without the knowledge of even the best king..

Further, these people with power could always alter the result and present it as progressive even though people were ready to break the same at the earliest opportunity.. 

Thus 'Love for Action' was totally missing here, doing 'Good' remained mostly on paper and rarely found in actions around!

With the Saint, that scenario was entirely different. First of all there was no advice given there, the Great Man's restraint and doings alone flowed around the members of the Group.. 

Each got the taste of that Nectar according to their interest and were instantly purified. Under that pure feeling, every one naturally did the act of 'Good' as their own and not someone telling them to do..

Thus with love for action, 'Real Good' was seen in most of the actions around!"
