Moments so Far ...

The more memory you have the less you will be happy. The more you relive the past the less you will live today. The more you correct the world the less you will see corrections. There are three aspects. Nature, Maya and Money. Nature is composed of five elements. Maya is composed of five विकार vices like anger, lust, greed, etc., Money is the object.  Maya causes corruption in your nature, both within and outside. You blame money.  Can money be the cause of happiness or unhappiness?  Money is the instrument. If you play well you will produce soothing rhythms. If you are anxious you will break strings. Can money influence your feeling? Can money help you with your mental strength? Can money create courage, faith, love?  How you feel is how you think?  Your thoughts are pure, your feelings are pure.  Your thoughts are reckless, you feel chaos.  In reality you are not performing any action. You are dull, lethargic.  Your mind is racing. Your...

I saw a parent hitting a the back palm of a girl child aged about 5 in front of sweet shop, beside SLV in RBI Layout. Her offense. She was holding a pole that must have gathered dust during the day. She was merely playing with it. Of-course her palms would get dirty. She may acquire infection. But does that justify the swift hard movement of an adult arm to distract and hurt her. She managed to go into her mother's arm. Mother then changed attention of father to the sweets that they had to buy. The girl looked at the Frootie in the cold storage. Her mother followed her gaze and offered to buy her. The father would have regained his senses as he relented. Then we moved on to Everfine, a supermarket. Second floor has gift section. A girl aged about 6 was urging her parents for a fancy item. Her mother "Beta, you have so many of them at home, you have not yet opened them, play with them first and then we will think about this". Her father "Behave yourself, I don...

How many times do you judge yourself? How many times do you judge people around you? How many times do you form opinions on situations that affect you? How many times do you form opinions on situations that do not affect you? You are not this. You are not that. She is like this. She is like that. I wish she could behave better. I wish my situation improves. Why is she shouting at me? Why is she doing this when I stopped her from doing so? How many times do I have to remind you not to do that again? I want you to improve. That is why I shout at you. I cannot tolerate you doing mistakes. How dare the auto whisked past me? How dare the auto driver is asking me for extra 10 rupees? How dare the auto driver refusing to go where I want to go? Doesn't the bus conductor have minimum courtesy? See, the cop stopped me to take a bribe. See, the clerk across the counter is smiling and talking about everything else except my file. Smells like bribe. STOP Just be in th...

Do situations throw you left and right? Do you treat every situation as tsunami? You become and let it overwhelm you. Did you know that contentment leads to stability? Stability builds a protection layer around you. This stability allows you to witness situations as puppet shows. This stability allows you to impart positive assurance in your surroundings. It gives hope and support to your spouse, children, neighbors, colleagues and bosses. Stability is your energy state. If there is noise in your surroundings. If there is dissatisfaction, discontentment you will be engulfed in a tsunami of negative emotions. If your level of energy is lower than your surroundings then you will be swept away, blown apart and become hundred broken glass pieces. Your remaining life will be left for gathering the glass pieces. But if you are protected then you will nullify the chaos. You will bring stability around you. Your contentment will survive. How do I get stabi...

Anger is needed to get work done. You shout on the cook and he makes better food tomorrow. You show aggression to the pizza delivery boy and he waives off the cost of pizza. You honk madly at the car in front of you and he moves aside. You shout at your kid and he starts to study. You express dissatisfaction at your staff and their future delivery improves. You have seen it since childhood. You have responded to it. When people are angry around you only then you do work. You have achieved the honor of glorying anger as a tool to get work done. Now, Can you change your belief system to "Love is needed to get work done." You will be smashed with withdrawal symptoms. You will feel an irresistible desire to scream. This is not how it is done. People around you will not care about your soft manners. They can ignore you. They will not accept you as their boss, spouse,father,child. You will lose your relationship. Do you feel the grip of fear yet? If I change my belief ...

First it cut through in front, coming from the side. Then I was stuck behind a stationary broken truck and was slowly turning to right of the road. It continued to honk. I heard a thud noise. The road was full of noise so I ignored the noise. Spouse wondered "Did something hit the car?". I said No. Then it allowed me to go to the right side. I crossed to left side after crossing the broken truck. It raced beside me to send me a message. The driver of the Meru cab was gesturing and waving. Even I got animated and told him "You did not see the broken truck or what?". He pulled down the windows and threw few abuses and went past. Again in super speed. I did not realize then that he had the guts to be aggressive post a deliberate hit. I am sure he would have graduated from auto and recruited by Meru. The cab has distinct identity from outside. I thought they recruited professional drivers but post this ugly incident I really doubt. In the business of making quick ...
