The God, elder, sage and master

/

Never ever put down the God, elder, sage and your master in an inferior situation.

During his exile God Ram met Sabri in the hermitage of sage Sandipani. After some time, other sages approached Ram and asked him to tour the surrounding areas of the hermitage.

When they reached near a river, the water was smelling bad.

Sabri requested Ram to touch the water of the river with his feet so that its smell gets removed. Ram followed the instructions, but after touching the water by his feet, the water started smelling more badly.

Sensing this Ram asked Sabri to touch the water so that its odour gets removed.

Realising that if it works then Ram will get inferior position Sabri was very reluctant to touch the water. Laxman realised  the dilemma of Sabri, he took the soil from below her feet and thrown it into the river. The water became pure and it’s smell  disappeared.

Always Remember And Reward Those Who Serve

An ordinary looking 10 year old boy entered the ice-cream parlour and sat at a table. A waiter served a glass of water and asked him for the order.  “How much is a vanilla ice cream cost?”, he asked. “Rupees Fifty” replied the waiter.

The little boy pulled out money from his pocket, counted his money and asked, “Well, how much would the cup cost?”

People on the nearby tables were staring at the boy and the waiter was becoming impatient. “Rupees forty” he brusquely replied. “I’ll have an ice cream cup.” The boy confirmed the order.

The waiter brought the ice-cream and put the bill on the table. The boy finished the ice cream, paid the cashier and left.

When the waiter came back to clear the table, he could not stop his tears.  There, placed neatly beside the empty dish, were rupees ten left for the tip.You see, he couldn’t have the Ice-cream cone, because he had to have enough left to leave him a tip.

डिसेबल्ड ऑनबोर्ड – ड्राइव केयर फ़ुली

किसी की मुस्कुराहटों पे हो निसार किसी का दर्द मिल सके तो ले उधार

कल एक वाक्या हुआ – ऑफिस से वापस आते समय एक कार दिखी जिस पर लिखा था, “डिसेबल्ड ऑनबोर्ड – ड्राइव केयर फ़ुली।”

मैं थोड़ा ठहर गया। गाडी धीमी कर ली। हॉर्न नहीं बजाया या साइड लेने की कोशिश नहीं की। कुछ समय उनके पीछे चलता रहा। अगले मोड़ पर उन्होंने मेरे तरफ़ देखी और मुस्कुरा दिया और मेरे भी चेहरे पे मुस्कान बिखर गयी।फिर, मन में एक ख्याल आया – कितने लोग होंगे जिनके मन के अंदर कुछ दर्द होंगे, जिनके शरीर में पीड़ाएँ होंगी, एक चाह होगी की कोई मेरी बात सुन लेता, एक इच्छा होगी की कोई मेरा दर्द बाँट लेता।

तो फिर हमें एक साईन बोर्ड की क्यों जरूरत पड़ती है, क्या इंसान को एक साईन बोर्ड डालनी शुरू कर देनी चाहिए? क्या हम कुछ पल यूँही ठहरकर किसी का दर्द सुन या समझ नहीं सकते। क्यों हम इंसान दूसरे के आँखों में लरजते आंसू को देख और पोछ नहीं सकते।

क्यों नहीं? जरा सोचियेगा।

The Magic Bowl of Sadhu

/

One morning a Great Sadhu knocked at the door of a Great King and asked him to support him by filling his begging bowl with anything.

King was very kindled and happy to hear the Sadhu’s request. He ordered his staff to fill his bowl with Gold coins. The moment Gold coins were put inside the Bowl, instantly they used to disappear. Every time, the king’s staff will bring the the gold coin and fill in the Bowl, the Bowl will become empty. This keep on repeating until the evening.

The King’s treasury was emptied by the end of the day but the Bowl still remained empty.

Amazed by this mysterious and magical act, the King was asked the Sadhu humbly – “Please tell me the secret to fill this mysterious bowl”.

The Sadhu said “O King, this bowl is made from the heart of a Human. Nothing of this world can satisfy and fill a human heart.”

Name, fame, Power, Money, luxuries, etc. cannot fill your heart.

Your heart is made to love God and only love for God can fill the heart.

Do What You Love, the Money Will Follow

/

When you look around at the successful people with a great amount of wealth, almost without exception, they have done things that they love to do and by doing what they love, they have made money.

It’s like when you love your work; you do superb work, you indulge in it with the passion and that entails great results.


Forcing does not work in the long term. Most of the time when I meet people in the interview, I ask – “you don’t have competency or interest, still why do you want to do it?”

The usual reply – “Sir, I will get to learn and obey your instructions to meet your job expectations.”

I have seen these kinds of people mostly fail because they force themselves into the work, that they don’t love just for the heck of it.

Some things that attract your interest are extra curricular activities – I love writing, reading scriptures, practicing yoga, etc. but none of those are my mainstream income thing.

I do these to attain mental and spiritual solace – these make me feel calm and well. I can’t do this stuff for 8 hours. I never thought of these activities to help me with my livelihood.

What do you love to do?

Leverage your mind and figure out a way to give value to others by doing what you love.

The money will follow. Somewhere, someone is getting rich doing exactly what you love to do.

Make a list of activities that are engaging and enjoyable to you.


Look around and find someone who makes a living with that activity and mentors them.

Be wise. Many times people ask me – “I want to quit my job and pursue what I love to do.”

Don’t leave your present job until you have another job already making money for you. I didn’t leave my former job until I was making enough from my alternate profession.

Money is a wise product of your actions. It’s like a bullock cart. Your action is like bullock – you can’t keep bullock behind the cart and move the cart. Connect your karma bull with the cart and let the money-cart follow you.


Bless yourself a wealthy day everyday!

That’s a good question

/

Consider what happens when you ask someone a question and they respond, “That’s a good question.” Or they might respond, “That’s a curious question.”

Probably when reaction comes as, “That’s a good question” means the respondant has the answer ready .They may also genuinely think you’ve asked a good question — a question that has caused them to have a fresh thought.

When the response comes as, “That’s a curious question,” means his feeling is challenged. They either don’t have an an­swer at hand, or they feel the question itself is somehow a chal­lenge to their authority.

Powerful people controlled information as well as armies. Rulers controlled the story.

3 questions to ask every day according to Deepak Chopra

/

“Take five minutes every day and just sit in silence. In that time, put these questions to your attention and heart:

Who am I?

What do I want for my life?

What do I want from my life today?

Then let go, and let your stream of consciousness, your quieter inner voice, supply the answers.

Then, after five minutes, write them down.

Do this every day and you’ll be surprised at how situations, circumstances, events, and people will orchestrate themselves around the answers.

This is the beginning of synchrodestiny.

Protect yourself from  the wicked mind

/


Whenever I read Ram Charit Manas, I laugh reading the below couplet.


उदासीन अरि मीत हित सुनति जरहिं खल नीति ।
जानी पानी जग जोरि बिनती करइ सप्रीती ।। 4


Tulsidas says, “Offer salutation with joined palms to the wicked ones who has inherent nature to carry out divisive agenda and always fire their inner self with jealousy, ill-will, and cunningness whenever they hear the welfare, wellness, and wellbeing of anyone whether they are their friend of foe. “


So, there are some of those who are born with it and you cannot change their nature.

The only thing you can do is fold your hand and keep them at your side so that the effects of their ill-will is lesser on you and you remain protected.

Axe the ignorance

/

“Instead of saying “I don’t have time” try saying “it’s not a priority,” and see how that feels. Often, that’s a perfectly adequate explanation. I have time to iron my sheets, I just don’t want to. But other things are harder.

Try it: “I’m not going to edit my resume, because it’s not a priority.” “I don’t want to go to the doctor because my health is not a priority.”

If these phrases don’t sit well, that’s the point. Changing our language reminds us that time is a choice. If we don’t like how we’re spending an hour, we can choose differently.”

Good relationships

/

I believe in, have confidence in, trust, am comfortable with, your association.

Have you ever looked at your eyes when someone said, “I believe in, have confidence in, trust, am comfortable with, your association.”

Whether business or personal, the relationships that has this kind of feeling works like magic. All the people you know, do business with and have long history are based on belief, confidence, faith and comfort. Everything else just takes care of and by itself.

If you wish to count such people, right now, you make a list of people whom you can invite to your home, show him your kitchen and your bedroom – those will be the kind of people I am talking about.

Similarly, make a list of people whom you think, he’d invite you to home, show you the kitchen and the bedroom.

Build some long term, trustworthy, faithful and dependable relationship else live just like an ordinary person.

What if you depend on God like a baby monkey depends on her mother?

/

I found this picture of a baby monkey fully dependent on her mother to carry her everywhere in my phone gallery.

It reminded me of my own childhood when I was dependent on my mother.

A question appeared in my mind: ‘What if we possess the highest level of dependability in God like a baby monkey?”

What would happen if we take refuge in God without being worried whether God appears in front of me or not, whether he bestows his blessings in the hours of crisis or not, whether I am his favorite child or not.

My experience says that when I depend on God, it frees me from worries, it frees me from worldly responsibilities, it brightens the darkness surrounding me, and it sets me free from bondage.

And then the only thing I have to do — to withdraw myself to him, behold him by meditating upon him, reciting his name all the time, and serve God in all means and acts.

By this singleton thinking, I remain fully surrendered into his feet and happy with whatever he decides for me with his sweet will.

Experience it to become an experiencer.

Raise your voice, not just your hand

/

Our education system is practiced in a way that it formalises the way we think, understand and interpret the things.

It starts with raising our hands in agreement with our class teacher and then simply memorising the answers without questioning the premise of the content or context. It makes us the follower of a set of rules, deeply understood and dutifully practiced.

The rules of game must change when you leave the classroom and enter the room of life. But, you’re so much cynically inside the mindset of raising your hands that you continue to do it even when it is necessary to raise your voice.

We see it everyday on social media, instead of raising our own voice, we join the tribe and limit ourselves by just raising our hand – Like, Love, Share. We mostly don’t comment citing that we will hurt the emotions of our friend.

Raising a hand is a traditional way of respecting authority,every speaker and every authority use it to gain the social validation for their echoed concept. It’s a way of maintaining order, allowing others to get a turn.

It’s been deeply felt during the recent political gatherings, few ardent supporters chant “Modi Modi” and whole lot of us, make this as the leadership beyond obvious gesture when our Prime Minister stands up and raises hand to the crowd “Please do not do this.”.  Floundering on the  acknowledgement has its place, but where would be be if everyone rushes for this shiftable floundering?

I don’t say ignore the authority. Rather,  consider a different way of interacting with everyone you work, interact and engage with. Raise your hand if it’s important to maintain order and show your support. But, start to raise your voice if it will move the matter forward for the overall welfare of community and nation. Ask if you have a question. State your opinion. Share your true feelings.

For you to raise your voice, step out of your comfort zone, develop your own voice, set your rules, contribute to conversations in a way that it’s purposeful, engaging and provocative. Exercise your leadership. Raise your voice. Step outside your comfort zone.

A true prayer is never directed for the welfare of one but for all

/

In the battlefield of Mahabharata, Arjuna asks Sri Krishna to take his chariot in the middle of the war-field.

Arjuna fell into the despondency which is the premise on which Krishna mentors Arjuna to prepare for his duty which is known to us as “Bhagavad Gita.”

Frustrated with the wait for war to begin, Duryodhana quizzes Bhishma Pitamaha, “What are they doing in the middle of the war-field?”


Bhishma Replies, “Whatever they may be doing, wait for sometime for destruction to begin.”


Duryodhana says with arrogance, “They must be discussing the way to run away from the war-field feeling afraid of loosing the war.”


Bhishma replies, “Why you’re always eager to show of your arrogance?” And continues, “I never prayed for anything for myself in my whole life. Today, wholeheartedly, I wish to pray for a favour for myself; I wish the wind blows in such a way that I’d hear the divine words pouring out from Krishna’s lips may fall on my ears.”

Hinduism does not advocate for praying for the self but, for the holistic well-being of the entire universe.


सर्वे भवन्तु सुखिनः सर्वे सन्तु निरामया। सर्वे भद्राणि पश्यन्तु मा कश्चित् दुःखभाग् भवेत्।।

(सभी सुखी होवें, सभी रोगमुक्त रहें, सभी मंगलमय घटनाओं के साक्षी बनें और किसी को भी दुःख का भागी न बनना पड़े।)


May all be filled with happiness, may all be free from all form of sickness, may all have the eye to see the goodness, and may none suffer from any form of misery.
