Utensils and knowledge

It’s already 11 AM as I sit in front of laptop. Morning went with Ashtavakra and he really put me in place. I was contemplating and half asleep when a call interrupted and brought me out of Ashtavakra’s profound world and into the demeaning reality. It’s not always necessary to do work that you like to do. Freedom should be from bondage of work but work is essential for self as well as to carry on the responsibilities of a householder. There was work to be done for the toys story.

I decided to pray heavens and wash few sins and another call interrupted and somebody was worried about money. From where the money would come, I gave my standard assurances and rushed back to God before he decided to go elsewhere. The feverishness of money, familiarity and going back to comfort zone is highly tempting.

Next stop was kitchen sink. I had apparently cleaned few plates a few days back and I had to take break in between as I had accumulated a lot over the last week. Some had to be revisited today and whole assembly of orchestra was waiting to be played in sink itself. I went ahead with the music and I can tell you washing the plate has meditative effect on body-mind complex. By the way, it’s much more than plates. I saw the underside of gas stove for the first time and there was lots of rust waiting for my touch. The kitchen platform had to be cleaned too as I moved items from one side to other hoping some other day I would bless the other side too.

Now for some regular email check and create some web waste before I recycle and consider myself fit for Guitar classes in this phase. Guitar Raja phone is switched off.
Passed the odesk test on second attempt, there was some problem in installation of their offline client which got automatically resolved and all questions were same in test so breezed through.

Just realized that clothes were assimilating washing powder after a good wash, rushed to drain. Hopefully the clothes will desist and release all the powder that they have accumulated in last few hours. When will you let go of your accumulations? You asking me or yourself.

Success is exchange of energy

The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

Shivani, Brahmakumaries and Aastha channel

She comes twice on TV from 7:10 PM to 7:40 PM and 10:30 to 11:00 PM on Aastha channel. The spiritual channel story in India is on same lines as that of Aaj Tak , which was run by local ads before the big boys put ads on them. Today Shivani, a Brahmakumari mentioned that 99% of the cause of anger and frustration is elsewhere, it is not in the spur of the moment, when you hurt somebody or get hurt by somebody. Instead of reacting instantaneously , or pestering the reaction in the mind post the incident till eternity , can you wonder "Why is that soul so angry, what is bothering her? I am sure there is something more than what she has told me now?". The chain of thoughts that emerge lead you to compassion, releases love vibrations into the air. Love has a very subtle medium to reach out. You cannot yell and throw around love and claim that you are helping somebody by your love. You have to surrender to love and let love take over. You cannot correct the world. You can onl...

fix for tweetmeme button on blogger

This was the second time when I was pained to locate a proper place to place the tweetmeme buton in blogger. The tutorial has suggested keeping it between b:loop values = 'data:posts' var = 'post'> and ‘b:loop’. Also there are two such places where you can place the code. If you place in lower one then it will appear only if ads appear in your blog. The above has not worked for me and I am not sure about you, do you Meme?. I searched for a place near the spans at end of post and put it above the below line " <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> And it seems to work. You can meme below and retweet and check for yourself. Have you been struggling with button placement in blogger?
