A constant endeavor to improve...

I am trying to improve myself. I face a lot of problems. The biggest problem is caused by my physical lethargy. I am a very lazy person from my childhood. A lazy person can hardly achieve anything in life, I believe.
I never tried to do better in life.
Even now, I do not have any desire to succeed and prosper.
I believe in doing the least possible work for a system.
I have no faith in hard work.
I believe in different things altogether. All these beliefs originated from my faith in God. I actually never stop working, I believe. My vision of success and prosperity is also different. Thereby I lead a cool life. In material life I believe : Duty first, duty last. I try to do minimum work for this principle of life. Hence I can keep myself free most of the time. A high-flying life is not my cup of tea, I firmly believe.
I need minimum resources for my survival.
I survive now to feel God all the time upto my last breath.
I prefer to live a life full of complete freedom...

God bless...

I sometimes write to spend my time...

I have been writing daily of events for last so many years only to keep track of thoughts. Then one friend taught me how to do the same thing in a different way through internet. Hence my favorite pastime has been to update this site.
I want to write with more and more clarity in future.
I am not expecting any response from my personal views.
I believe everyone acts on his basic nature.
But environment is an influential and powerful tool. Even our basic nature changes slowly under the action of environmental factors.
When we suddenly change,people call us mad.
Let us change ourselves slowly but steadily. The change agents are our gurus and role models. A guru shows us the path to perpetual happiness. But who cares ? Our basic nature forces us to take the same old path again and again. We suffer and then we learn...
Learning is life.
The lessons of the past get converted into intuitive wisdom.
Wisdom is a process of knowing God.
Knowing God completely is just impossible.
I think it is hence better to feel God.
It is good to try.
Let us try.
There is nothing to lose. There is no material gain also. What we may receive is a philosophy of life. A way of explaining of events happening all round us to ourselves.
When we realise that we are nothing but souls, days of our sorrows would be over...
There exists happiness in sorrows and vice versa. We possibly need have an attitude of looking at things differently...
If we can move beyond pleasure and pain by our actions, we shall be truly happy...
Let us try...

God bless...

The ultimate objective of my life...

Attainment of Devotion (Bhakti).
A state in which I would lose my identity in totality ...with a feeling of complete surrender to my Supreme Lord.
I have my own ideas and dream...
The biggest question I ask myself every moment is : Who am I ?
I am getting the same eternal answer that 'I' do not exist...He only exists without any boundary of Time...

God bless...

A few hours in solitude...

Solitude and self-talk can help in gaining insight into the specific problems of life. Prayer in solitude help us cleansing the mind of the memories of our wrong actions.
Self-purification through prayer with devotion is the way to happiness.
We are tightly bound by our desires and passions. To be free, we need to destroy our desires one by one.
It is the toughest thing in life.
We can only try to understand the nature of worldly pleasures and decide our course of action in the future.
It is a long process to realise the nature of true happiness.
A state of true happiness lies in a neutral state lying between happiness and sorrow. The exact location can be found by each individual separately through meditative knowledge and intution.
Finding the source of true happiness depends upon individual choice.
To me , happiness does not lie in clinging to material possessions and pleasures.
It possibly lies in our mind.
A wandering mind can rarely mind happiness.
I feel happy when I am in a state of meditation on God.
Dry meditation never helped me.
Meditation on Omnipresence and Omniscience of God is helping me a lot in trying to cleanse my mind.
The more I try to depend on God, the more clarity develops in my mind...
I am trying to cleanse my mind with God's Grace.
I think others can also give a try.
I have nothing to lose, as I do not possess anything. I want to remind myself all the time God's compassion is my possession...

God bless..

Breaking the shell of Illusion(Maya)...

The most difficult thing in life is to realise the action of Illusion. Illusion keeps us engaged in material activities. We remain entagled in our desires and their fulfillment. If we do not enjoy life and its pleasure, we fail to realise the nothingness. Hence in the early period of life, one may enjoy life in such a manner that one understands the transitory material pleasures in complete depth. After realising the temporary nature of material happiness, we then should focus our minds on our own selves.
Self-enquiry is the path to self-realization.
I am constantly trying to destroy the mind which creates the state of joy and sorrow.
Mind is behind all our unhappiness.
Mind creates 'selfishness'.
"Selfishness" is the root cause of our unhappiness.
Selflessness is the answer to all problems.
A truly selfless personality is Divine...
Selfless work can elevate our lives to a higher level of consciousness and peace.
We shall come to believe that we are the souls , not the bodies with names...

God bless...

Doing no harm to anyone...

Thinking of doing harm to others itself is a disease. To be cool and happy all the time, we must eliminate the thoughts and actions which will bring distress to others. Who am I to punish others ?
I can only punish myself for my wrongful actions of the past!!!
A person with a compassionate heart and a sense of forgiveness is the best human being.
I personally try to be least harmful to others.
We can do harm to others by our speech and actions...
Hence we need to continuously purify our words and actions...
This process of self-purification gives me a lot of satisfaction and pleasure...
I can not change the world,but I can change myself for the better.
I have changed myself a lot. I am still trying to revolutionise my personal life by eliminating my desires and minimising the cost of living...
I want to make more personal sacrifices to make my family members have a better time in the future... I aspire to live like a 'Sannyasi' for the rest of my life...
I am trying to be a pure vegetarian.
I wish to live on least quantity of food.
I am trying to achieve a state of 'constant remembrance of God'.
I wish to speak as less as possible.
I wish to slow down the pace of my personal life...
I wish to live a God-dependent life for the rest of my life...
I wish to remain distanced from any kind of publicity.

God bless...

I think beyond materialism...

My creative thoughts start only after negating the material world. I realised in course of time that material luxury is the only thing I hate personally. Hence my life revolves round simple things of life. I try to take everything in a cool manner. I am not in a hurry to achieve great material success. I find myself comfortable in self-restraint ,self-discipline, eating light food, drinking enough water,enjoying humor almost all the time,being free and frank with selected persons,being affectionate to younger ones, meditating on God,developing clarity of thoughts,thinking with creativity,helping others when I can, and finally trying to keep myself fit through yogic exercise,trying to reflect and destroy the negative thoughts by enchanting of Divine Names...

God bless...

Ups and downs in daily life...

Life is full of challenges, we know. We may plan for the immediate 24 hours of the day and live one day at a time. It happens many times that things do not move as per our plans. We feel bad. In daily there is bound to be ups and downs of our moods, because everything may not be in our control. It is sometimes better to take things indifferently. We should be a stoic at times to let things move on its own. "Stoicism" is possibly the best answer to problems which arises from uncontrollable factors. We simply get ourselves detached from the root of the problem and think of something more important and relevant to ourselves.
We must understand our limitations and act accordingly.
Acting on an impulse may generate more problems.
We also need to understand that most of the time we are the creators of our own problems.
All our performances are affected by our moods. Fluctuation of mood is to be accepted as a law of living. The high and low moods indirectly define our outputs. But the fluctuation can be minimised by being 'slow but steady' for all our actions.
If we slow down a bit , we can find that we are really in better control of our lives.
Intentional slowing down is hence very powerful in personal lifestyle.
Mental processes can be slowed down by adopting appropriate method of meditating.
God bless...

Real-life is a wide open-book...

Real life is full of learning materials of infinite variety. We need an attitude to learn and relearn the things from the complex events that are taking place all around us. We have a general habit of forgetting things. But if we reinforce our past lessons with our real-life lessons, we shall become more learned. I believe that experience is the best teacher. What we think and hope for might be quite different from what we receive in life. There are so many extraordinary factors which determine the output of our efforts, we should remember.
I believe I should be more realistic about my life and profession, as unrealistic ideologies and ideals never work for anyone. I now peacefully surrender to 'realism'. Running after something is no longer an affair in my life. The days of the dreams are over, as life to me also means "Reality".
The final result of our efforts is not in our hands.

Everything seems to be ordinary and simple and acceptable, only if we have the right attitude to analyse the events happening in our lives. Events happen as per the law of Nature. We act and react according to our basic natures only.
Let us set realistic goals of life...
Let us understand and realise the basic laws governing our own lives...
God created Nature, I believe. We should hence never be extra-enthusiastic about our achievements life...

God bless...

Keeping mind ever-green...

The changes in our bodies are inevitable,but the mind may still remain young in the sense that our mental processes may retain creativity,'possibility thinking',intelligence-based sense of humor,friendship ties,hunger for knowledge, spiritual enquiry,yogic exercise,meditation etc.
Let us be ever-green in our thoughts.
Let our mind search Truth in everthing.

Motivation

Motivation is created by our mental constitution and inclinations. Motivation is at the root of success of any endeavour. Motivation opens up creativity of the mind and creates many possibilities of doing things. There are professional speakers who can help us shake off lethargy and inaction. But it may have temporary effect. Self-reminder is the greatest medicine in this regard. We should continuously remind ourselves of our practical duties and responsibilities.
We forget our plans. We forget vital information. We forget about the important decisions taken.
We forget our principles of living. We forget our past sufferings... Hence we can try to remind ourselves of all such things through the writings in Daily Action Plan(DAP) Diary we need to maintain.
Writings in my diary work wonder for me in daily life...
Anyone can test this for himself/herself...
Self-reminder creates a process of self-motivation...

"Mind Your Own Business" works fine for all

If we are devoted to our own duties and responsibilities, the world will be a better place to live in.
We should do our defined duties well and forget about the duties of others.
If each one of us try to follow the above-said principle, it will do a lot of good to all of us as well as to the system in which we function.
Defining one's duty comes from family,society and the professional field. We are supposed to do justice all the three different roles of ourselves.
"What am I doing" is the fundamental question one should all the time, for self-purification...

God bless...

Keeping mouth shut

Talkativeness is a nuisance, I believe.
The persons who talk much talk a lot of lies, I think.
We should always have a measured talk with anyone.
Wrong choice of words and expression can do a lot of harm to ourselves.
Let us be more and more careful in our speech, as the perception varies from person to person.
While talking to a large audience, we must be very cautious and we must keep our emotions in control.
Emotional maturity is one of the biggest feature of an adult personality.
If a person is not emotionally matured, he will not be able to face the ups and downs of life with a serene mind. Emotional maturity develops from the knowledge of real-life. Hence it is better to face the world with enough courage and determination in the earlier period of life.The more we face bad times, the more matured we become.
In bad times and also in good times, our enemies are at work. Keeping mouth shut is the best principle in tackling of bad times in life.

God bless...

I have written a lot of things, I will now write only the gist of my professional and personal experience

I will not write much about Spiritual Living, as I have come to learn that many people are in great doubt about existence of God. I know that no spiritual development should be forced upon one's mind. Faith is the only factor which matters.
I have great faith in yoga and meditation.
Through yoga and meditation, one can achieve a state of happy living.
Here 'happiness' is a relative concept for many people. My concept is quite spiritual in nature and I do not want to influence anyone in the matter.
Only thing I could realise in my life till now is that balanced actions with selflessness in attitude can solve all problems of life.
LIFE IS WORK...
LIFE IS SELFLESSNESS...
God bless...

Keeping mind free from venom...

Negative emotions like assertion of the ego,revengefulness,jealousy,lust,anger,greed etc. are poisonous.
Cleansing the mind of these negative emotions will automatically transform ourselves into happier individuals.
Just be happy...
Forget the past...
Let us live for love,compassion,service,selflessness...
God is compassionate.
Let us feel it all the time...

Living one day at a time

Take each day to be a new day and live life full.
Do one job at a time.
Try to relax yourself, when needed.
Try to utilise your time in the best possible manner.
Be as selfless as possible while performing your job.
Do not take so much of mental pressure.
Keep control over your desires.
Minimisation of desires will make us happier.
Running after happiness is like following and trying to grab a mirage.
Living in the present helps us in controlling unrealistic thoughts and desires.
Consider the ground realities of the environment in which we exist.
Try to keep yourself happy all the time.
A desire-free life is the true abode of happiness...

God bless...

I blame myself most of the time...

I rarely complain against anyone.Complaining is easy. Rectifying and purifying the self is my only duty...For all failures, I am responsible. For all my sufferings my past actions are the causes. I must analyse myself first and I need continuous purification of myself. If I am in the habit of blaming others, I will be blind to my shortcomings and faults. A self-improvement-focused life is highly satisfying to me. But at the same time, I should not suffer from inferiority complexes.

God bless...

Music and songs

Music is highly powerful in relaxing our mind and body.
I prefer soft and old songs.
Enjoy music and songs to forget the bitterness of life's experiences.

God bless...

Self-improvement books are helpful

I used to read a good number of books on self-improvement.
These books contain marvellous examples and illustrations which can inspire us to do better things in life.
I request my students to read such books.
The parameters of modern living are : success,prosperity,happiness.
These books can guide a person to achieve success,prosperity and happiness.
One such book is titled TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST,BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO.

Name, Fame,Wealth and Power...

To be frank, I have no inclination towards publicity. I do not need any highlighting of my name in any forum. I almost hate publicity personally. I am not running after any of these four elements of material life, as I know I am such a humble creature. Sometimes I feel I am good for nothing. This is not frustration. This is my realisation about myself. Whenever I ask myself the eternal question " who am I?", I get the same answer: I am nothing.
All these realizations came to me,because I have enjoyed my life and time to the fullest extent and I have no desire to enjoy more. I feel I got more than I deserve.
A life without name,fame,wealth and power is also a life!!!
I have no problems when others enjoy life.
But I want that nobody should do any harm to others in the process of his/her enjoyment of life.
I believe in 'live and let live'.
I have no problem about others going after name,fame,wealth and power.
I personally try to live a cool life.

God bless...

I have never given my best

It is because I am basically peace-loving and cool. I am also lethargic to a great extent. The root cause of my non-performance is that I was never convinced about materialistic high living. I never ran after money. I do not need much money. I have no special drive for earning huge money. I have least material desires. I earn some money and I manage my life according to my income. What is the use of huge money saved in bank ? If someone's money generate employment and welfare, I think it to be of any use. Huge personal wealth which is of no use to the society bears no importance to anyone.
But money is not bad when it is used with honesty,charity and service.
Accumulation of Money for satisfying selfish interests only is again a social vice...

Free Meditational Tonic for the self...

Meditation is basically creation of a state of thoughtlessness.
It is really difficult.
But with a little bit initial and practice thereafter can solve the problem.
Meditation is a great tonic for body-mind-soul combination.
Let us meditate and rediscover the hidden power within ourselves.
God bless...

Earning money

Money is needed in our lives.
Some people have extreme desire for money and get rich by adopting quicker and dishonest means. A large number of people earn money through fraudulent means.
Money-earning does not need much education.
It needs tenacity,grit,and determination in the field of any business activity.
Someone can earn huge money only through a business venture. There are some exceptional cases in professional jobs also.
The greatest driving force is the burning desire , unthinkable hard work and personal sacrifice for money which is extermely powerful in modern life.
But the question is : Are those people honest?
If honest, no problem at all.
Otherwise, it is a social vice...
God bless...

Who am I ?

I am a "Possibility Thinker".
I always think that anything can happen at any time to anyone, at any place.
It is a misconception that we are the doers or creators of all happenings, though everything is happening as it is destined to happen. All beings do things as per their basic nature. Things happen by the will of God,I believe.
We can only try to change things.
Actual happening does not depend on our wishes or desires.
Unconditional Surrendering to God is the only solution to life's problems.
God bless...

Make everyday a new day..

To live life to the full, we should be reborn everyday with newer and finer thoughts and ideas. Making each special is an art.
Learning continually is a great feeling.
Age is not a factor for learning.
Feeling energetic will get transmitted to others.
Remove the monotony by applying creativity and innovation.
Speaking is an art. Let us say the most relevant thing in brief.
Take some health-related decision today.
"Do it Now" principle is the best in doing things.
Take time to relax.
Take time to laugh.
Take time to guide.
Take time to build understanding.
Take time to convince.
Take time to adjust and compromise.
Take time to keep cool and calm all the time.
Take time to express your emotions.
Give time to friendship.
Take time to apply for a new job.
Take time to strength your CV.

God bless...

Society for Human Values, Rights and Welfare

I imagine that a "Society for Human Values, Rights and Welfare" will be formed someday by me,my friends and my students.
It's a dream for a lifetime.
Everyone of the members will enjoy equality in all activities.
The society will be free from red-tapism of any kind.
We shall have the same designation "worker".
Can it be done ?
Can we form it and work for its mission that is given in its name.
The society will have no touch of political colors.
I am waiting for the reply from the like-minded people...

Thinking is the man...

I am what I think I am. The same is true for you. I believe 'thinking' makes the man, because behind each action, there is a thinking process.
If we can control our thinking, we shall be more organised.
"Control" of the mind is the prerequisite to self-realization.
The key to self-realization is asking ourselves the eternal question " Who am I?"
When we can discover for ourselves an answer, we shall become self-realized in our own different ways...
God bless...

Daily Action Plan(DAP) really works...

I am maintaining a DAP diary for last 8 years. Before going to sleep at night, I write all my plans for the next day. I try to stick to them. I sometimes fail. But it gives me a sense of pleasure that something could be done as per my plan.I remind myself of my principles also. I try to make each day a new day. I feel I am reborn each day with newer ideas. I try to maintain silence for about 4-6hours of my working hours of a day. My mind speaks to myself about my faults and mistakes. I sometimes use inappropriate words in a situation and I promise to rectify myself.I face people with comlicated mindset, and I become a psychoanalyst for a few minutes. Every time I search for the root.
I try to solve problems of many people through personal counselling.
But in everything I try to feel the touch of God.
I am mesmerised by the infinite variety of Divine Creations.
I love meditating of Death,Life and God.
I firmly believe in applying the theory of management in life.
I try to treat my students as part and parcel of my life.
I am concerned about the changing attitudes of some of our present students. There is a sign of crisis of 'identity' in many young people.
I sometimes feel bad about the academic atmosphere all around.
Environment of dirty politics and dishonesty hurts me a lot.
What are the solutions?, I ask myself...
I say to myself : SPIRITUAL-YOGIC-PEACEFUL-MEDITATIVE LIVING AT THE INDIVIDUAL LEVEL IS POSSIBLY THE ONLY ANSWER.
God bless...

Sleeping is my favorite hobby...

Having a good sleep is almost divine to me.
I need about 8 hours of sleep.
Sleeping is a poor experience for many people.
It is possibly due to hypertension and taking everything so seriously.
Proper yoga, meditation,bath and light food can possibly solve problems in many cases.
Taking so much of pressure in material life is the cause.
Changing of lifestyle is the cure...
God bless...

Prayer is a great healer...

Praying to God with devotion and complete self-surrender will solve many problems.
Human beings can work only. The result actually depends on the will of God, I believe.
Regular prayer will certainly improve our consciousness and show us the path of a better living.
Having faith is most difficult, as our senses are governed by our desires and passions.
Even a slight shift of attitudes can do miracle for us...
I have no right to preach...
These words are self-reminding...

God bless...

Simplicity is sometimes a weakness...

Simplicity of a person is used by shrewd and greedy people.
Simplicity is great virtue, I believe.
But it becomes a great torture, when some rowdies utilise it for satisfying their extreme desires.
We are sometimes helpless, as the society gives its support mostly to the rich,powerful, and the people with muscle-power...
It is frustrating...
The younger people should be aware of such situations
and they should give some support to the older and the weak.
At individual level, let us organize ourselves and fight various social evils.
Can we be organised ?
Protest itself is very powerful...
Can we form a society named "Society for human values and welfare"?

God bless...

Drinking enough water...

Because of my poor health conditions, I keep a target of drinking 5 litres of water per day.
I never kept my words to myself. But it has been steady at about 3.5litres per day. I am feeling much better now.
I now try to increase the intake to 5 litres.
I must achieve the level and must continue till the end of my life.
Water is life, a saying goes.
Water intake will improve my fitness to a great extent, I believe.
Drinking water in large quantities will,I believe, eliminate many of my illnesses.
You may also think in this direction for improved health and fitness.
God bless...

Fear of HR-interviews....

1.Eliminate shyness by igniting knowledge and basic concepts
2.Dress well (formal dress only)
3.Maintain eye-contacts while saying things in only 'clear' terms
4.Remember: self-confidence is the reflection of your basic knowledge
5.Remove health-problems of any kind, be fit to the core
6.Have tolerance
7. Managing the conversation is important
8.Delivery of your speech is most important
9.Be honest about yourself, admit ignorance,give thanks when it is required.
10.Be polite,but communicate with self-confidence
11.Retain inner moral strength all the time
12. HR interviews assess your personality and its potential for a specific job only; you may be suitable for many other jobs; may not be suitable for that particular job.

Alternative self-health-care

Yoga,
accupressure,
auto-urine therapy,
homoeopathy,
biochemic medicines
can be studied by anyone.
They are easy to be applied on the self.
Gaining knowledge and applying can definitely benefit us almost free of cost.
We can be our own doctors for common ailments.
I have tested most of them in my personal life and I am happy.
For chronic ailments,Homoeopathy acts like miracle...
For a novice I suggest one to consult experts for specific cases...

Inculcating the virtue of sense of humour...

We should laugh at things which are funny.
But we should not ridicule others.
Our sense of humor should not hurt the soft feelings of others.
The best way is to laugh at ourselves and our stupidity.
Mindful "Exaggeration" of minor events can make us laugh like a child.
For a good sense of humor, we should expand our imagination and apply witty twists to them.
Sense of humor is very good for healthy living.
But we should be cautious about the situation in which we apply such things...
It is better not to take life so seriously all the time.
Laughing without control makes our mind relaxed...
Have nice time with bindaas guys at times...
Just laugh without control...
God bless...

No hurry,No worry...

To be in a hurry is foolish...

What makes frustration acute ?

Frustration originates from failure to attain things as per our desires.The greatest source of frustration is the environments in which we spend much of our daily time.

Enviroment and the working atmosphere have deep impact on our minds. Bad experiences turn into bad memories.Bad memories haunt us all the time.

The big thing in life is to fight back and stand erect in these hard times. Trying to escape is foolish. When going gets tougher, we should be toughest. Bad things do not remain bad for all times. Changes are inevitable. You and I can also be the change agents for a bad system. It all depends on many factors. But failing before actual failure is a personal crime. Failure is never final. "Coming back" with more enthusiasm and energy is an art.

The greatest cure of frustration is changing the way of thinking and looking at things.

Let us think positive from today. There are many more things in life, to be done, to be dedicated to.

Stick to and say to yourself: Never give up hope...

God bless...

Distance Learning is not bad...

For experienced professionals, distance learning is a very good option. Many of the so called pandits say bad things about distance learning, because they suffer from 'superiority' complex. They believe in their own 'pandit-giri' and think of others to be idiots like them.
"Learning" should be given more importance than "distance".
Class-room teachers are not super heros who will make feed and digest everything. How many students are really interested in attending some of dry lectures of some 'artificial', self-declared pandits ?
The world has changed a lot.
Still some 'great' men speak rubbish about the highly developed field of distance education.
Choosing a good university is more important.
IGNOU is one of the best universities in the world: please note.
This is my personal opinion.
Knowledge should never be confined only to 'dry' pandits/so-called 'academicians' with no exposure to Industry .
God bless...

"Yes" men in a system

Yes-men of a system are the most harful elements.
They never do any good to an organization.
They lie a lot.
They mislead a lot.
They behave like chamchas of anybody, in any situation.
How can chamchas solve any problem in a system?
Identify those parasites and fight against their bonelessness.

God bless...

Preaching by doing consistently

Anyone can preach great things to earn name,fame and money. We must verify whether the preacher is consistently following everything he says for others.
Then the thing becomes difficult.
What we question the honesty, we become bad men!!!
I think myself to be life-long follower of my spiritual master. But following itself is so difficult. I can not follow properly what I want to follow. But partially I have been able to do something in that direction.
I am not perfect, nor do I wish to be perfect.
We must accept some of our inherent imperfections and still try to live a happier life.
If we fail to accept ourselves in the right spirit, how can we be accepted by others?
Being realistic can solve the problems of illusory vision of life...
I am trying to be realistic...
I know I am trying to write good things for my students.
I try to treat them with impartiality and honest intentions.
I know I am not hard working.
I work as part of my professional duty.
I have no faith in working 'hard' like the employees of great MNCs...
I least bother that culture of working hard for long hours for more CTCs etc.

ESPM Theory really works

I say it ESPM theory. The theory is developed by me after a lot of thinking.
ESPM(Ego-Sex-Power-Money) is at the root of all quarrels,conflicts,killings, and barbaric acts.
The excessive hunger and greed for ESPM brings imbalances to personal and societal life.
Controlling the factors at personal level can reduce social crimes.
The path of yogic and spiritual living will help us in gaining control of our negative passions.
If we analyse the existing problems in the society, the root causes will possibly be found to be deep-rooted ESPM factors.
God bless...

Variety is the spice of life...

We are all unique individually. Let us accept the fact and take our own unique decisions to make our living a unique one.
There might be criticisms...
Sometimes, we need to ignore them...
I have a unique way of thinking, as I am unique.
You also are unique...
In basic uniqueness, there lies a universal truth that we are all human beings.
Surrendering the individual uniqueness to a common goal for a common good is sacrifice...
Life is basically sacrifice...
God bless...

Igniting self-motivation and self-drivenness

We normally refer to external stimulants regarding motivation. We hope that someone will convince/motivate us about doing something.
It is better to have a detailed self-talk about our future plans.
It is better to generate practical ideas about our course of action.
When we do it ourselves, our mind and the will-power makes us self-motivated persons.
Self-driven persons can produce better results.
Self-driven persons get high level of job-satisfaction.
Instead of waiting for the command/request of someone else, let us generate creative ideas and let try to follow 'do it now' principle...
Let us try to make bold decisions.
We may fail.
We definitely have the opportunity to learn a lot from our failures.
We do not need blame others, but ourselves.
Finding faults with ourselves and correcting them is a great experience.
Self-correction, innovation and creativity are the key factors which govern our style of living.
Self-reminder: SELF-HELP IS THE BEST HELP.

God bless...

Middle path

Middle path is possibly the best path of living.
Excess of anything is bad.
Finding and identifying the middle path is quite difficult.
But keeping control on the self about thinking and doing things is the best option.
Sometimes, we may have to be rigid and uncompromising at the personal level to fight against injustice and inhumanity.
Inner toughness and a good moral character always win...

Grade cards

Grade cards only reflect your academic performance in numerical figures.
The things which are not reflected are:
your manners,
attitudes,
discipline,
honesty.
humanity,
and other finer qualities of true human being.

Friendship

Friendship is highly satisfying when the same is founded upon good taste,refined culture, and true selflessness.
Otherwise, it is like drinking poison...
Friends may turn into enemies by the slightest conflicts of self-interests.
Friendliness is sometimes better than friendship.
God bless...

To write or not to write ?

I write only because writing keeps me busy.
I write not to preach.
I write to remind myself that I am nothing.
I write to provide food for thought for my beloved students...
I am teacher till I get some genuine listeners in my class...
Teaching was my hobby, once upon a time...
Teaching is my bread and butter now...
Writing might be a part of my profession in future...
Am I joking ?
There are no publishers who will publish such writings!!!
I write only to say to my students that behind everything should lie humanistic thoughts and actions for a real human being.
If someone is destructive in nature, let him or her destroy his or her bad habits,harmful thoughts and actions with respect to peaceful living of other beings.
Destroy inhumanity.
Build fratenity.
Destroy cruelty.
Build a green society.
Let us all live for love,kindness and compassion.
What are real possessions ?
What did we lose ?
Is not death the inevitable destiny of life ?

God bless...

To live or not to live ?

I am living with imaginary fears for last 30 years.
What did I gain ?
Nothing...
I am trying to drive out 'fear' by trying to be honest to the core.
Still there is fear of injustice, inhumanity,cruelty,hooliganism, and the fear of violation of basic human rights.
Fighting against fear is a tough job.
Then I slowly moved into the world of spirituality.
My faith now makes me live.
I was thinking whether I can ever live a life.
Divine Names are now the only sources of energy.
I try to be good to others. Still there exists so much of crookedness in those I tried to help sincerely at their bad times...
Ungrateful people makes me unhappy sometimes.
Still I pray to God to give the inner strength to sustain till I can.
God will possibly take care of me.
He will make me cry.
He will possibly allow me a few years to live.
My wish does not matter to Him, I suppose...
Still we live in hopes for a better life.
"keep going" is the inviolable law of life.
Nothing is permanent.
I now feel time cures everything..

God bless...

Think creatively,act slowly...

Creative thinking produces a lot of alternative courses of action.
Choose the path by thorough analysis.
Take actions slowly with firm vision.
Be steady.
Be harmless.
Take feedback and analyse.
Continue to act with honesty and integrity.
Leave the results in God.
Let others be happy with the fruits of your labor and actions.
Life is sacrifice.
The hidden pleasure lies in giving.
I am trying to live with these harmless ideas.
The more we take, the more burdened we are.
Living with burden is partial living.
To make life more satisfying, we should try to renunciate the path of the worldly pleasures...
God bless...
Jai Radhey...

Alternative Art of Living

In today's fast moving world, one needs to be fast in all matters of life. Time is very costly now. Everybody seems to be in a hurry. Hurriedness is the resultant effect of our desires and the efforts towards fulfilling those desires in the least possible time. One aspires to be at the peak of prosperity with least efforts and in minimum time.
I believe in slowing down the speed of life. I have no faith in 'to be in a hurry all the time'. Let the world move slowly. At least I must be slow. But I must be steady in all my actions. Slowing down means to me 'feeling peace and tranquility' all the time , in all actions, with all honesty. I want to shape up my daily life with minimum desires. I want to perform one small job at a time.
The calmer we are, the nerves get less strained,the better performer we are.
"Peace" is the keyword of the Alternative Art of Living.
Let us be slow but steady...
Why in a hurry ?
Nothing great can be achieved in a hurry.
Running after money,wealth,name and fame all the time brings hollowness in our body,mind and soul.
What money can not buy is 'peace' and satisfaction of the mind and soul.
We need money for the maintenance of basic parameters of household life like education,health and food and shelter...
Alternative art of living means to me devoting our actions to honesty,discipline,minimisation of desires,enough sleep,commitments,duty and a sense of responsibility towards to one and all.
Living without enmity, without prejudice, without extreme views,without recklessness, without harmful thoughts is life , as revealed to me by intuition.
God bless...

Defeat shyness...

Shyness develops from some kind of imaginary fears of being revealed and exposed.

Reveal your personality today.Be outspoken at times. Test yourself by doing something special today.

Shyness is the product of introversion...

Hiding the true self from others, for a long time develops shyness...

Shyness is a great barrier to success...

Remove it slowly, come out of the artificial shell of confinement...

Be bold...It needs the light of knowledge,experience and personal interactions...

Make some good friends who will help you break that shell of illusion...

God bless...

Being ambivert is better

Introversion has a lot of problems (social relationship problems etc./feeling of loneliness).
Extroversion is the extreme side of expressing oneself...sometimes associated with a lot of negative experiences.
Ambiversion(lying between introvert and extrovert behaviors) with variation and dynamic flexibilities is the best solution for any person...
Be ambivert from today...

Perception and relativity

It involves our nervous system, and our past knowledge,values and experience. Our perception depends largely on our conceptual clarity about a matter , our desires,fantasies,ego,jealousy,psychological complexes etc.
Everything we perceive through our senses and the mind is relative in nature. In every relative perception, we have a touch of universality and absoluteness , if we have a faith that God is the Supreme Creator of these infinite variations(Illusions).
Only perception which is absolute is the feel of Divine presence in all creations and His manifestations...
God is Absolute.
He is the creator, maintainer and destructor...
We think that we are perceiving...
The nameless, invisible, consciousness within our selves actually does that. Our body has a name. The soul does not have one.
We are not bodies...
We are souls...
We are basically deathless...
Removing the fear of the bodily death is itself a philosophical turning point in our lives...

Bye
God bless...

Development of wisdom

It needs huge information.
It needs summarization.
It needs real life feeling and experience.
Knowledge coupled with experience turns into Realization.
Realization develops wisdom and philosophical thoughts.
Thoughts are ignited as per the need of time and situation.
Philosophy is basically the gist of all sciences of life and existence.
Each philosophical thought is a nectar of wisdom and realization.
Whatever realization we have in daily life can be put down in some universal form(writing,painting etc.). That way we preserve the gist of our lessons in our own relative terms.
After long years, we shall be able to help others in solving problems of life by referring to our realizations of the past.
Our past experience refines our present actions.
Our present actions and attitudes will shape up our future...
Future actually never comes.
We actually live in the present.
We sometimes we forget this fact and turn our life into a hellish den of past and futuristic thoughts.
Whatever positive and great action you want to take, take it now...
Be happy today..
Be satisfied today..
Be bold to day...
Give your opinions today itself...
Decide today...
Manage today...
Lead today...
Forget the bitter past, and start living a new life from today...
Tomorrow never comes !!!
Past does not come back !!!
Remember: TIME AND TIDE WAIT FOR NONE.

Alternative Thinking

There will always be usual ways of doing things,solving problems, and handling crises.
With all the ordinary ways, we should develop alternative paths also. Keep 'n' number of options before you. Keep ready a mental flow-chart.
All these need creative thinking,brain-storming in a group, and also a desire to learn new things.
Behind it, we need flexibilty, innovation, dynamism and creativity.
When you are bored with all these instructions, listen to a soft music and watch a good movie and just relax yourself.
My most favorite thing is sleeping.
Be relaxed all the time, even while working.
Keep going...
God bless...

Give more importance to self-development

Develop yourself in the following areas:

1. reading good books
2.taking physical exercise/yoga regularly for fitness
3.effective speaking
4.learning newer things
5.Being well-informed
6.speaking from the heart
7.holding on to positive attitudes
8.being a doer
9.respecting the dignity of others


God bless...

Service

What service do we provide for ourselves,our family, our society and our nation?
Giving service needs a special attitude of selflessness.
Serving is a source of pleasure.
We serve God when we serve other beings.
In the heart of every being lies God.
I hate people who creates fear in the mind of people.
I feel God's presence in His creations.
God is the only Creator.His manifestations are infinite.
God is inexplicable...No word is sufficient to express His Infinite Blessings.
You and I can depend on God. He is forgiving. He gives shelters to one and all.
God wants me to serve you through my writings with all my humbleness and weaknesses...
I pray for the happiness of all.
I may die at any time, as my health is not in good shape...
But there is nothing to worry, as soul is deathless...
I will continue to live in the minds of some people for whom I lived...
I have no regrets.
DEATH IS THE INEVITABLE GOAL, Some said.
Birth and death are the visual change of phases of an encapsulated Soul only.
By eliminating the fear of death, we can live a more dynamic and satisfying life...

God bless...

Writing to express and to inspire...

I write not for money.
I write for you to be informed of things forgotten.
I write to say that we need continuous self-development...
I write to tell you that regular self-training is effective.
I write to tell you that I am not perfect,but I do things for the good of you, and others.
I write to convey that I suffer from my mistakes and blunders about my health, and that you should take enough care...
If you are happy, happiness comes to me.
Love for human is my passion...
I hate cruelty,terror,inhumanity, and dishonesty.
I love peace and tranquility...
I love to pray to God for others ...
I love to sleep well...
I am not a devotee of Money.
I love people who are kind and compassionate to others.
I tell my students that we are all learners...

Integrity

A coherent and combined effect of our thoughts,actions,behaviors and speech define 'integrity' of our characters.
If we have integrity, our thoughts,actions,behaviors and speech will reflect the same idea before others. Coherence is important.

Class-room manners

Class-room is a temple of learning.
Learning is a multi-way process in which all persons participate.
Asking questions is a good sign...
Being attentive is a great quality...
Accepting a teacher is a challenging job !!!
Discipline is the foundation of all actions...
Punctuality is important.
Adjust.
Speak out.
Be free.
Choose correct words for communicating.
Take notes of main concepts.
Develop mutual trust, faith, and friendship.
Remember: College days are the golden days of life

"Shouting" is a social offence

Do not shout, say with emphasis.
Be soft,but strong at the same time.
Be silent, when doing is more important than saying.
Set examples.
Encourage talent and creativity.
Use minimum words to express maximum things: Energy Efficiency is important.
Silence is divine, and noise is satanic.
Silence is sometimes more eloquent than energetic speech...
NB: I am not preaching anything, I am generating food for thought... I am not advising anyone...I am only writing things as part of my hobby...
God bless...

Over-confidence is a silent killer

Say 'no' to overconfidence.
Selfconfidence is needed for success, but there is a sharp line of demarcation between the overconfidence and selfconfidence.
Overconfidence is blind...
Selfconfidence is full of openness and dynamism.
Overconfidence may hurt others...
Selfconfidence is supportive to others..
Overconfidence can bring downfall, as psychological blindness can not be cured so easily...
Overconfidence makes you isolated from others.
Remember: Too much of selfconfidence may land you in a disease named 'overconfidence'
God bless...

Teaching as a profession

It is good, but not for everybody.
Teaching does not make you rich here in India.
If you are after huge money, teaching is not the right option.
Teaching is an art. It is really difficult to master the art...But we should keep on trying for betterment...
To be a teacher, one needs to be patient,tolerant,unbiased, non-vindictive, large-hearted,broad-minded, merciful, calm,interactive,assertive, and should have an attitude of leading to knowledge with simplicity ...
He leads a humble life...
He knows to forgive...
He is not like a politician or a diplomat...
He accepts all, rejects none....
My ideal teacher was Late Dr. Paritosh Mukherjeee, Nimta High School, a great scholar in Bengali Grammar and Literature, a true Lion in my student life...

Why to work 'hard'?

Working with regularity and consistency is not enough or what ?

'Hard' work means working without rest for a long time.

My idea is that no one should ever work hard !!!

Work with proper planning and not keeping things pending should be style.

Hard work damages your body, and health.

You will have to see doctors frequently.

Your sufferings will go on increasing day by day and indirectly your family will suffer a lot of trouble.

Why to work hard ?

Why in a hurry ?

Showing others that one is working very hard seems idiotic to me!!!

Private and MNCs exploit people by using the word 'hard' with work.

Make your life hell by working 'hard'?

For whose benefit ?

Working regularly with punctuality is not enough or what?

Fight against injustice and exploitation.

God bless...

Touch of my Guru

Just one touch of a divine personality or a saint can transform us into better human beings. Guru is selfless.He lives for God. He prays for His disciples. He is in state of meditation.He acts on intution. Selflessness is His only nature. He teaches not for survival.He teaches only to enlighten us and remove our pains. It is most difficult to find a true Guru on whose thoughts we can spend a lifetime. He only gives. Takes nothing. He removes illusion...
Sri Ramakrishna Brajabashi is my spiritual master. He is my only possession in this material world...
My Guru embraced a sinner like me...
He gave me everything. I am full to the brim...
He was not a money-earning guru...

Variety in human talents...

Talents are of infinite variety.
Never compare yourself with others.
All of us are individually unique in nature and talents.
No one is the best in everything.
Depending on our own talent-sets, we should choose the path of action for ourselves.
Do not imitate others.
Follow the path of great men and women to define your principles of life, considering the real-life limitations and factors...
Nothing in the material world is absolute and final.
Be yourself and be selfless at the same time...
Life will teach you many more things which are not taught in schools and colleges.
Draw inspirations from the poeple you love to keep going...

You do not have to search for happiness and peace...

Divine Thoughts

When we are helpless, the only thing that saves us is God's blessings.
God's blessings flows unconditionally for all.
Only a few can understand the fact.
Unconditional surrendering to God (USG) can solve many of our problems. We should remind ourselves that we ourselves are mostly responsible for most of our problems.
Lord Sri Krishna or God is omnipresent and omniscience.
The true devotees can feel God.
Continuous Enchanting of Divine Names will slowly put ourselves in subtle vibrations and we can derive ecstatic pleasure of the mind.
We are here to carry out our duties.
We are nothing.
We are living life to serve God and His creations.
ACTUAL POSSESSIONS IN LIFE:
1. duty
2.commitment
3.service
4.pure sense of humor
5.Spiritual Practice
and
7. Personal honesty and integrity.

Noisy environment

It is a vice.
Creating noise is a social offence.
Protest against it boldly,when a limit is crossed.
A noisy environment is at the root of loss of individual creativity and professional productivity.
If you try to be internally cool and calm, you definitely can.
Your inner self still feel deep silence,if you are in a meditative state...
Self is a pure, undisturbed consciousness.
Even in disturbance and noise, a self-concentrated person can perform normal duties.
Cool and calm beings are the true assets of a society...
All the best.
God bless...

Crooked characters...

Be careful about them.
They are cruel and vindictive in nature.
They are diplomatic all the time.
They are selfish all the time.
Avoid them.
Never believe them.
Identify them and behave with same level of diplomacy and tact.
Crookedness is revealed in tone of voice, in over-dramatisation of simple things,praising all the time, and lastly in artificial friendliness.
To fight against crookedness, we should take the path of honesty and outspokenness.

God bless...

Complaining characters

It is a habit.
It is for attracting attention.
It is for not accepting responsibility.
It is a part of chamchagiri of someone else.
It is meant to hide the intention of not doing enough work.
It is intended to stop positive work.
Complaining is in the basic nature of some people.
Many of the problems are psychological in nature.
SOLUTION:
LISTEN PROPERLY AND HIT AT THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM.
TAKE TIME.
TAKE ACTIONS.
COMMUNICATE WITH SINCERITY.
FREEZE THE ACTION.
DEVELOP THE SYSTEM OF DEMOCRACY AND PARTICIPATION.
God bless...

Seriousness and suffering

You are taking life seriously or what ?
Have enough laugh in life.
Read jokes.
Tell jokes...
Life is a fun...Enjoy.
Life is also a duty, perform.
Life is learning,learn and assimilate.
Life is giving,give selflessly...
Be serious with yourself, not with others...
Enjoy till you have achieved Truth in life.
Do not take so much of mental pressure to earn money, as money is the only thing you need.

Living with fear...

Life with fear in mind is not worth living.
Eliminate fear by knowing the roots.
Cut off the roots by the sword of knowledge.
Take help of others, when needed.
Remember: most of our fears are baseless, unfounded, and imaginary.
If there is a problem, there must be a solution to it.
The solution may need the brain-power of a so-called bad man...
But never be a bad man with a good man...
Keep laughing at jokes, when you have a tough problem to solve...
As some bad man will come forward to help you...
Bad men are not always bad, as everything is relative, you know ?
God bless...

Dry Lecturing

Tall-talkers are found everywhere. But sincere workers are found rarely.
Avoid tall-talkers.

It involves physical, mental and spiritual developments. There are a few takers of spiritual development. Still there are some.
Physical weakness and diseases land up deep trouble in life. In course of time, physical problems turns into mental one and all our interpersonal relationships go astray. Hence we should attach high importance on physical fitness and strength. It needs regular physical exercise. For mind-training we need to socialise and we need a good sense of harmless humor. Mind-power utilisation at an optimum level keeps us mentally fit.
Spiritual development is essential for personal peace and also indirect social peace.
May God bless all...

Unemployment

No one remains unemployed throughout one's life.
Jobs are limited in number.
But our desires are unlimited.
We are possibly the victims of negative attitudes.
We are victims of negative thinking.
We are not dynamic enough.
Finding an employment needs more knowledge, better attitudes, good commincation skills, keeping track of relevant information, a better preparedness for stiff competition, discussing with friends and parents, self-studies, and newer ideas to be different from others.
Best of luck for one and all.
Keep trying.
Never give up hope.

Make friends.
Be happy...
May God bless you all.

Ideas and Ideals

Our life patterns are governed by our ideas and ideals.
We must have some ideals and we should stick to them.
We should have some ideas which will generate some money for maintenance of life.
Ideas we inculcate today will define the future courses of actions in our lives.
Ideas and attitudes are the factors responsible for the rise and fall of a personality.
Ideas define our actions. Our actions produce output. Output generates feedback.Feedback creates newer ways of doing things.
Life is action.
Life is compassion.
Life is shedding tears for the sorrows of others.
Life is sacrifice.
Life is feeling God in existence.
Life is realising the material illusion and choosing the path of God-realization.
Life is never-ending.
Life is a process of transormation and change of phases...

Optimism

Optimism keeps the world moving.
Adopt 'possibility thinking' as part and parcel of your life.
Possibilities are infinite.
Anything can happen.Anything can be done.
Be creative and generate newer ideas which can transform your present life into a better one.
Hard work, tenacity,honesty of purpose and innovation are the change-makers in life.
Are you ready to chnage yourself for the better?
Are you dynamic enough ?
Do you have a strong attitude for learning from life ?
Creativity and innovative may keep you truly alive and healthy for a lifetime.
Have faith in these ideas.
Work for the sake of work.

Remember: Thinking makes the man. Man develops his own style of living. Running after money can not be a life. Money will come from the ideas you nurture today.

Fighting frustration

Talk to your best friends about it. They will give anumber of ideas. Ideas, if well-chosen, can do miracle for you. Nothing ends with failure. Failure teaches us lessons which no book , no teacher teaches us. Take a bold decision for yourself and jump into practical actions towards your goals. There are infinite number of possibilities which we ignored earlier. Let us be different from others and accept newer ways of doing things for ourselves.
Believe in "Possibility" Thinking.

Sleeping about 8 hours a day.
Writing things to generate food for thought.
Thinking of death as part of my spiritual practice.
Trying to remember God all the time.
By believing that I am not the doer, the doer lies dormant in me.
How does it matter if I die today? Soul is deathless. I am a soul encaged in a material body.
My aim is to work. My desire is to die without any hidden desires. The material world and its illusion can never attract my mind. I believe in the evolution of consciousness of the souls, not in the dirty material desires and hollowness.
I believe in God. The only aim of my life is to become true devotee of God and die as that.
No more now...

God bless you all.

Managing the self and enjoying life...

1. Do I drink 4-6 litres of water for fitness ?

The best way to keep fit by taking yogic exercise, light food, huge quantity of drinking water and having sound sleep at night.
To be mentally fit, we need meditation,sleep,solving analytical problems,playing games, relaxing with friends, reading spiritual books,reading biographies, and having a witty sense of humor...
A harmless ,witty, and sharp sense of humor can make laugh without control...
Have sense of humor and enjoy life full...
Having fun is also a part of healthy living...

Talkativeness is great sin...

The one who talks too much tells a lot of lies. He is a great liar. Liars can not be believed. Keeping silence and still communicating is an art. Scoundrels need to talk too much, to hide the hollowness of their personality. To establish cheap popularity for selfish interests, they can go to any level of dramatisation and talkativeness. Scoundrels talk much because of compulsion, silence will slowly unveil their character.
A man of character doe not need talk much, as his one word means thousand vibrations in a heart.
A liar has to talk a lot to hide the darker side of his character, his idiocy, and also make his hollow personality a externally colorful one.
Liars can gain cheap popularity easily by playing with tender hearts. But the same can never do good to any side.
Shrewdness and cunningness are the qualities of the scoundrels
and the liars...
Remember: simplicity,straight-forwardness, honesty, outspokenness with sweetness are the true qualities of real human being.
Selfishness is a vice. Try to be as selfless as possible.
Do not be talkative. Be a good orator in times of need.
Be yourself in style,decision-making,speaking and working.
Be natural. Be relaxed. Be calm and cool. Be punctual. Keep words and promises. Be bold and courageous. Have friends. Give respect to others. .....be happy all the time.

Experience is the real learning...

Only bookish knowledge can not help us win the game of life. Bookish knowledge without realization,experience and application is of little use. We learning through our nervous system and experience makes our system more seasoned. A seasoned man leads a life from fear and worry. Fear and worry are the worst killers in human life.
Can we live without fear ?
Can we live without worry ?
Yes , we can.
Fear originates from unknowing i.e. lack of knowledge. Higher the level of knowledge,lesser will be fear involved. Remember: most of our fears are psychological and unfounded, baseless and imaginary.
Real fears are founded on ESPM(EGO-SEX-POWER-MONEY) factors. Try to pinpoint the general factor and try to find an innovative intuitive solution of the problem. Friends can help.Parents can help.
Worry is generated from uncertainty of the future. Mind that mostly your future depends upon your own actions today. Why to worry ? Who knows the future perfectly ? Better to live in the present. Make the best use of the present. Future will be taken care of automatically by your present actions. Mind : Life is action,not contemplation. To be frank, procrastination takes away most our valuable time and we are in a hurry at the last moment of every important job.
Overconfidence about one's own cerebral intelligence is the main cause of one's downfall and sufferings from negative emotions like fear, and worry.
We should set the limits of our aims and desires.
Unlimited desires,greed,anger, jealousy and ego-consciousness drives a man to inhumanity and suffering...
To be content with simplicity of living is great virtue.
Accumulation of personal wealth and showing off muscle-power bring about chaos,worry,suffering,fear,betrayal of faith etc. into a otherwise normal life.
In simplicity and humbleness lies the hidden pleasures of life.
For self-realization and perpetual happiness, we need not have huge money...
Divine knowledge and enlightenment can not purchased by money...
God is compassionate to simple-hearted humble beings who completely surrender themselves to Him...
Unconditional Surrendering to God(USG) with selfless work can make us live a better life.

To have peace

Be silent till you get the answer to your probelms.
Silence and meditation sends us intuitive answers.
Use intution with analysis and intelligence...
Have enough sleep in a day.
Take physical exercise.
Be dynamic.
Be honest...

Train yourself free

Life is an open book. Learning materials are abundantly available in your own surroundings. Learn from others.
Learning from the mistakes of others.
Learn from the style of others.
Develop your own style of communicating,
writing,doing things.
Finally, be your own person.
Be yourself.
Take your decisions.
Jump into action.
Do not bother about the results...
Be selfless,
Be a doer.
Speak the gist.
Keep up Energy-Vigor-Vitality and selflessness to remain truly happy ...all the time...

The Power of a Personality

The power of a personality can be divided into three parts:

1. physical, 2.mental, 3.spiritual
The power lies within everyone of us in various degrees of the three components.
Proper tuning of the three factors can make able to influence the hearts of others. If we are selfless in attitudes, good in communication, and honest and humble, we shall be able to influence the minds and hearts of others for establishing our humanistic goals of life.
The major features of a powerful personality are :
1. unflinching honesty
2. commitment towards own family and the society at large
3.selflessness
4.integrity
5. humanism
6.service
7.simplicity
8.protection of the weak, frustrated, helpless and the needy
9. following the path of God,i.e.Compassion

Soft-skills Development

Use of mind or psychological power for effective and powerful business communication can be taken as Soft-skill. 'Soft' should mean the intangible mind-power which governs the process of communicating. Organised and focused mind power can have enhanced processing power of the brain and can communicate more and more effectively, as per the need of the situation. Development of soft-skills involves oral communication with clarity and articulation, a positive body language and an attempt to establish one's view-point with enough logic and examples. Communicating with mutual respect and dignity is an art. To master an art we need training. The major part of the training should contain practical class-room activities. Practice for a long time will slowly define our own style of communicating.
Remember: Style is the man.
Develop your own innovative way of communicating by touching the hearts of the audience through use of the most 'appropriate' words with 'special' stress.
Without self-confidence, we can never be powerful communicator.
It also needs intelligence,presence of mind and a set of positive attitudes.

Life's own silent lessons

Life says to me:
do not me reckless
do not break your health,
do not be harsh and cruel to any being,
do not dominate anyone by use of dirty money and money power,
do not leave the path of honesty,
do not be ungrateful to God,
Do not harm others,
do not suffer from frustration,
Do connect yourself with God who will guide you peace,
Do be simple
Do be humble
Do have kindest compassion for any being
Hold on to the Truth
Be selfless
Live for others
Learn giving
Learn forgiving
Learn how to control the mind and its desires
Be strong with the strong
Be selfless and kind for the weak

Decision-making

To decide we need good analytical ability.
The power of analysis and logical thinking with clarity of basic concepts and purpose are the key factors in decision-making. Decision-making is at the root of all human activities. Without strong decision , our actions may remain half-done or not done properly. The decision we take is the reflection of our plans and programs. To achieve anything, we need proper planning, decision-making and implementation with technical expertise. Managerial decision-making is an important area which helps in keeping up the financicial health of any organization.
To eliminate confusion and vacillating thoughts, we must adopt scientific and objective decision-making. It is always better to write the parameters of concern and attach numerical figures of importance for an objective analysis of the problems and its outcomes. Then we must use the power of intuition and many other human factors to arrive at a final decision.
Independent decision-making based on muli-way feedbacks is the best for a good manager. A vacillating mind is of no use in the field of work.
For success,prosperity, and happiness, we need to take our own decisions.
Independent,creative and innovative decision-makers are naturally more successful in both personal and professional life.
Timidity is to hated for all times, as life is once.
Behind all decisions, should lie sound human considerations...
Today's decisions build tomorrow's environment.
We can create a better environment by taking some firms decisions today.
LIFE IS DECISION-MAKING AND ACTING.
OUR FUTURE LIES IN TODAY'S DECISIONS.
A VACILLATING MIND IS A POOR LEADER AND A WORTHLESS FOLLOWER.
WE NEED:
FOOD
EDUCATION
JOB
LEADERSHIP
SELFLESSNESS
&
HONESTY
TO LIVE AN ENLIGHTENED LIFE...

Living in the present is an art...

Forgetting the past is an art. The bitter memories of the past hinders our present and consumes our vital time and memory. A lot of our Energy, Vigor and Vitality(EVV) is lost in thinking about the past. It is foolish. We should be dynamic enough to adjust to the present and act with logic and alertness. If we focus our energy on the present, our future will be better developed. We should learn from our past mistakes and failures to make our present as flawless as possible. We should make the best possible use of the present. We never know the future. Living in the present is possibly the best option before all of us. We should consider the present realities and tune our lifestyle parameters to be best suited not only to ourselves but also to the society at large...
Making the best use of the present time is the wisest of all decisions...
Being selfless at the same time makes us more happier...
Working for the happiness of others is a real pleasure...
Feeding the hungry is divine.
Speaking the truth for the sake of truth is act of philosophers...
The path of Bhakti(devotion), to me, is most suitable for modern life...
Bhakti can be ignited through the company of the saints and gurus...

Honest actions lead to satisfaction...

Fruit of dishonesty is bitter, as a sense of pride and self-esteem is absent in dishonesty.
Upholding of self-dignity is a tough challenge in modern life, as human values and ethics have deteriorated in course of changing times and culture. Humanistic thoughts and ideas are not attached with much importance, as the majority are running after hedonism. Still universal truths are still valid in life. If we do not live a value-based life, we shall get punished tomorrow. Behind all actions there is agoverning rule of stabilty and peace.
Peace and silence are the great hidden truths of existence.
Hence we all should work towards peace and silence.
To realise the self, we need peace and silence.
If we are realized souls, we can try to help others in realization and enlightenment...
Setting good examples before others is true teaching and preaching...
Lecturing is so easy...
Setting example through work is always tougher...
The best way of convincing is by being truly honest about what is being said...
Humility and simplicity are the true gems of any personality...
God likes simplicity of heart...
Hence be of liking to God...

Self-restraint is a true asset of personal life...

Self-restraint is a great virtue which leads to a tension-free life...
Self-control when applied on a daily basis can produce huge results in terms of performance...
Calmness of the mind is a prerequisite for creative and innovative ideas and actions...
Be cool and calm and execute one job at a time to be an efficient worker...
To be relieved of mental tension, we should plan for a day an act accordingly , leaving the fruits of our actions to God...
To enjoy all-round happiness, we should try to be physically fit and strong.
Strength is life...
To succeed we need good planning, dedicated work and a sense of selflessness...

Urge to fight and survive

LIFE IS A BATTLE AGAINST POOR HEALTH.

LIFE'S TRUE MEANING LIES IN SELF-REALIZATION.

LIFE'S HAPPINESS CAN NOT BE FOUND WITH POOR HEALTH.

LACK OF WILL-POWER AND ENERGY IS DEATH.

ENERGY,VIGOR AND VITALITY ARE THE SIGNS OF LIVING.

MAINTAINING SILENCE IS AN ART.

BEING SELF-DISCIPLINED AND SELFLESS IS KEY TO TRUE HAPPINESS.

BEING OVER-CONFIDENT AND DOMINANT TO OTHERS SHOW THE PATH OF DOWNFALL.

GOD IS EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOTHING...

LIFE AND DEATH ARE TRUE ILLUSIONS IN THE IN INFINITE OCEAN OF SUPREME CONSCIOUSNESS...

LIFE IS SELFLESS WORK...

LIVING LIFE FOR OTHERS IS A SOURCE OF ECSTASY...

SELF-ENJOYMENT AND DESIRES ARE THE GREATEST SINS...

Suffering originates from lack of discipline...

I have been suffering from multiple disorders, because I never bothered about self-discipline in my past life. All my wrong action reflected back to me in the form of physical and mental sufferings. When I could realise that the nectar of living lies in only in selfless giving and not in selfish 'taking', I have spent long years of life. Every action we underatake, has its own reaction. Hence we should give a lot of thoughts to our actions. Nothing can be taken back, as time never waits for us. Till it is too late, let us all be aware of all our wrongful and dishonest actions. In our words and deeds we must leave the impression of selflessness and honesty. I have found that we live at the blessings of God. Let us hence live for Him. I wish to dedicate myself to God through my silent, selfless actions. I want to live a humble life and devote majority of the day's time in active meditation on God. I shall never debate about my faith. I want to be silent Karmayogi, who speaks only when it is a matter of urgency. What is there in lecturing rubbish all the time ? If speaking brings tremendous benefits to others in the form of transfer of Knowledge, it remains a meaningful human activity.
SILENCE WILL WASH AWAY OUR MINDLESS DESIRES...
SILENCE WILL REMOVE OUR PENT UP AGONIES...
SILENCE AND TIME WILL CURE EVERYTHING...
SILENCE MAKES US STRONGER...
SILENCE IS A GREAT TONIC OF THE MIND...
IN SILENCE WE FEEL GOD.

Calmness of the mind

If we can bring calmness of the minds, we shall be nearer to God, as we feel God in silence and solitude. In noise and other pollution, our minds get diverted and our nerves get strained. With strained nerves, we can never get peace in life. Hence we should practice calmness even in extreme noise or material activities. Through meditation and continuous striving, we can achieve a state of calmness and silence, in which we can carry out various creative activities. In creativity, we can derive a high level of mental pleasure and peace. Even in creativity, there must be a touch of selflessness so that our actions get universal dimensions. In selfishness we live biologically, not spiritually. In simplicity, sincerity and selflessness (SSS) lies true and the hidden pleasure of life...

Challenges of modern life...

Corruption,
Dishonesty,
Recklessness,
Lust,
Greed
and Hatred are the challenges of modern life.
To face and tackle these problems, we must have the guts and the courage...

The art of problem-solving

To solve a big problem, we should have the simplest approach.
To defer the solution, we should form a committee ?
Solution comes out, when delve into the root.
Problem-solving needs Diplomacy,Politics and Ethics taken together.
Most of our time should be devoted to the study and analysis of the problem.
Thinking from various angles will help us narrowing the solution.
We should form a small team for creative discussions and brain-storming sessions.
Finally we must know how to conclude.
To practice creativity and innovation, we must develop multilateral thinking...

Feeling of personal nothingness...

I live at the mercy of God. All my problems are solved by Him and His Grace. I sometimes wrongly think that I am the doer. This is great blunder. I am not the doer of any kind of good, but I am the doer of actions driven by desires and ill passions. My prayer to Him slowly washes away the sins of mine and allow me to live. All events in my life occur at the mercy of God only. I feel I am nothing.
This is a fact.
I want to be nothing...
I want to cling on to the Lotus Feet of God as dust particles birth after birth...
I am nothing...

Personal goodness...

Personal goodness is the best thing in life. Being good to others is a great personal quality. We find the reign of bad people everywhere. We feel frustrated. We get depressed. We feel sad. The mantra to rise and fight lies within ourselves. The will-power and the will to fight should be increased day by day, as the time has changed. Animal-like behaviors of the humans are getting more prominent in the society. Most of us are the slaves of EGO,SEX,POWER&MONEY(ESPM). Slaves can not do any good to the society. If we can become the masters of ESPM, whatever we do will bring fragrance of goodness to others...
Existence of bad people is temporary...Ignore them...God will punish them in course of time...
Have the courage to face bad people, as bad people are morally weak...
Have faith in God...
Follow the path of great men and suffer temporary sorrows...
Do not run after happiness, as happiness lies in your mind awaiting selfless work from your side...
Selflessness is the only good,
and
selfishness is the only bad.
Have a mind full of compassion which is the nectar of personal happiness.
Maintaining silence is a great virtue.
Speaking for the sake of good is not a crime.
Have the courage to speak,when the situation demands so from you...
Speaking becomes an art when it is delicately merged with deep silence...

Survival of the weak...

Weak people can survive if they have the will-power and the tenacity to hold on to their goals. Mental attitudes and strength can make the difference. Physical stoutness always does not help, as our mental processes and courage matter most in surviving bad times of life. Our struggle for existence and comfort will bear good fruits, if we have the right kind of determination and will-power to hold on to honesty, integrity and hard work...
Honest work never fails...
Frustration can be eliminated by igniting will-power and knowledge...
Knowledge is power,
Ignorance is Bliss.
Devotion to Truth and Silence will help overcome all odds...
Have faith..
Have 'prayer' as part and parcel of your life...

To be steady in hard times

In silence, we can store nervous energy for fighting any kind of depression...

A state of mental tranquility

At every moment of life we should remain in a meditative state.
Self-disciplined life with a tonic of silence can do miracle for us.
The greatest formula for survival is Self-discipline(Silence-based).
Power of oration can be felt only in deep silence of the mind. When we speak we should from our hearts, from the core of our conscience. Only then we can realize the power of communication skills...

Retaining toughness at tough times

There will be situations of ups and downs in life. Even in daily life, there is constant play of ups and downs. There is ups and downs of nerves in everyday life and in every hour of a day. Life is battle of nerves. Hence toughness is essential at every moment of life. Patience and silence and a state of meditation are the real tonic for the retention of the power of nerves. Nervous strength is needed for our survival. I believe TOUGH TIMES NEVER LAST,BUT TOUGH PEOPLE DO.
Silence based prayer can help us retain toughness. Toughness with human qualities will help us become winners in life.
Life is a struggle...
Life is a battle of nerves...
Life is a series of balanced relationshps...
Life is communicating with God...
Life is a struggle for existence...
Life is self-realization...
Life is unfolding of the Self...
Life is a faith...

Fitness matters

Physical,mental and spiritual fitness are the essential ingredients of living. Before death, we must achieve highest level of spiritual enlightenment to make our death a pleasing surrendering to God. Death is a state of absolute silence in which we realise the nothingness of materialistic pleasures. Hence in life, we should remember death which is final and absolute. As the soul is immortal, we have nothing to fear. Even after physical death our souls continue to act according to the unfulfilled and pent up desires. The journey is endless till we meet with God ... we meet Him only if He blesses us with compassion and forgives our sins...
Life is silence...Do we feel silence in every moment ?
Life is a duty...Do we perform our duty sincerely ?
Life is a series of ups and downs...Do we take it with simplicity and selflessness ?

Sufferings are our own creations...

We suffer as we do. We forget that we have done something wrong somewhere, sometime... Our forgetfulness takes us to the path of sin many many times and the same cycle of suffering is repeated in our lives...If we do not repeat our mistakes of the past, we suffer lesser and lesser...Our lessons of the past are the true secrets of our future enlightenment...
Life is a series of mistakes which repeat with our forgetfulness...
Life is a future based on present and future lies in physical death and survival of the soul...
Life is love and compassion with pure selflessness.
Life is detachment from desires...
Life is sacrifice.
Life is constant work and deep meditation...
Life is a chain reaction of success and failure,ups and downs, joys and sorrows...

Tenacity and patience are 'survival' words...

To be winners, tenacity and patience are the essential qualities. Even in spiritual practice, we need to hold on to Divine Names in both good and bad times. We are tested by God in our good and bad times to see if we get deviated from the divine way of living. To have a divine life, we need not have much money and wealth. We need a mind free from all types of desires and passion. Even in household life we can act as a Renunciate or Sannyasi, if we lead a desire-free and selfless life in both words and actions. My pseudo name is S.Krishnadas who tries to lead the life of a Household Renunciate or Grihi Sannyasi. Sannyas or a desire-free life is the ultimate aim of my life. I have tested all kinds of psychological colors of human minds and found that the element of 'detachment' in all actions is absent in most of them and we suffer from the unsatisfied desires of a roaming mind,a vacillating mind, a corrupted mind, a mind full of poisonous and harmful thoughts, mind full of jealousy,hatred,violence and a mind devoid of human compassion and humility. Enlightenment of the mind and a sense of humility can elevate us to greater heights of peace and silence. We should try to be the true worshipper of pure SILENCE AND DIVINE NAMES. Through our words and actions, we must prove that we are the slaves of ABSOLUTE SILENCE AND ABSOLUTE TRUTH OR GOD. We should not create any boundary for our religious beliefs. The ultimate religion is 'WE ARE THE CHILDREN OF GOD'.

Unregulated,reckless life

Reckless life ends up in pain,agony,loss of mental peace,breaking down of health and life becomes a living hell. Controlling the desires to enjoy is difficult, but not impossible. Through practice,tenacity,self-control we can achieve the unthinkables in life. We should not influenced by
media, new generation youngsters, and other hedonistic elements in the society. The best way to control our senses is devote our lives into continuous spiritual enlightenment. Spiritual enlightenment can be derived through meditation, and yoga. Imposing austerity and discipline on one's own self is the only need for developing intuitive wisdom about life and existence. God showers us with His Blessings and Compassion, but we hardly understand it. To realise the fact, we need to devote enough time to spiritual practices and we need to seek the holy company of the sadhus or the renunciates. Spirituality is a matter of realization and personal feelings. Faith and pursuit of spiritual practices can do miracle for us. Self-confidence hence will be converted into God-confidence. Search for self-realization gives us inspiration,energy,vitality, and an attitude of self-surrender and selflessness that brings pure happiness and peace in life. All human achievements are governed by the Will of God only. We achieve to the extent we give a try and to the extent God blesses us silently without our knowledge and perception. Then we boast about such achievements and slowly we move towards our downfall...
Reckless life is the symbol of destruction and wrongful desires.
We must be disciplined to the maximum extent possible so that Omnipresence of God can be felt in silence and solitude....

SILENCE AND SOLITUDE CAN DRIVE US TOWARDS THE PATH OF SPIRITUAL ENLIGHTENMENT AND PEACE...

MAINTAINING SILENCE IS HENCE A GREAT HUMAN VIRTUE...
IN SOLITUDE WE SHOULD SIT AND MEDITATE UPON GOD AND HIS INFINITE MANIFESTATIONS....

MEDITATION AND SILENCE ARE THE KEY FACTORS OF SPIRITUAL LIVING...

Life is Learning , Life is a prayer to God...

Life is a never-ending process of learning and experiencing. Life is an open book. We should use the opportunity of learning from others. I am trying to learn as much as possible. In my personal life, I have been suffering from lack of physical fitness. I am the worst sufferer in this regard. My work is hampered. Hence I am taking regular physical exercise to keep myself fit. My only target is to lead a life of Energy-Vigor-Vitality-Leadership(EVVL). EVVL is my personal code for living a life of peace.
Life is EVVL for me.
We should be devoted to EVVL.
We should never stop learning to remain healthy and fit and youthful.
Continuous process of learning will keep us Dynamic, Youthful, and Healthy.
Prayer has a great healing power. We should go on praying while working...

Dominating others is full of mean-mindedness

A dominating personality is never liked by others. We should suppress any urge to dominate others. All human beings are equal. In every living there is existence of God. Trying to dominate others by muscle-power is a social crime. We can have serious followers of ours , if we have fine qualities based on human values and ethics. Hence we should try to avoid such persons,if we want to avoid conflicts and violence in life. The best way is avoidance. The second best method is maintenance of dignified silence. In most situations of life and its varied conflicts, silence is the only best answer. Be silent most of the time in a day. Speak only when it is extermely necessary to clarify your inner thinking and in leading others to fruitful actions. We need not speak much, we are real Karma-Yogi's(Honest and selfless worker). Working with disinterestedness,detachment without any concern for the fruits of actions will lead to a life of peace and happiness... To be happy, we need to work for others with least concern for our own happiness...
Life is work
Life is health and happiness...
Life is enjoyment of silence...
Life is listening to Divine Words...
Life is compassion for others...
Life is helping others in need....
Life is writing about our thoughts about Truth...
Life is teaching our hard-earned experiences...
Life is about remembering God and His Compassion
Life is healing through faith in God...
Life is dependence on God...
Life is immortal, as the soul is immortal...

Over-confidence leads to destruction

Though self-confidence is the most important quality for success, over-doing of things with over-confidence can bring about downfall of a person. We should play safe in all matters. It is always better to maintain a low profile keeping the inner self-confidence intact. Why to be at the limelight, and be at the receiving end of human jealousy,politics and hatred? We should not run after name and fame.Name and fame are temporary states of life. Instead our focus should be on work. Selfless work with honesty may not bring us huge money and wealth, but it can ensure mental peace and satisfaction. Selflessness & Dignified Silence(SDS) can solve most of the problems of life. SDS can instantly resolve various types of human conflicts and crises. We should hence be our own Crisis Manager by applying SDS in our daily life...

Mind-body coordination & healthy Living

Mind has a great effect on the physiological functioning of the body. Hence we should take care of our mental processes to keep ourselves fit and energetic. Mind consumes a lot of our physical energy and negative mental thinking can exhaust greater part of our total energy. The best way to tackle this problem is to have a thoroughly planned Daily Action Plan(DAP) which can systematise our thoughts and actions to produce fruitful actions and thoughts. To control mental processes involving negative emotions, we must remain in meditation for a long time on a daily basis. One of the toughest problem is in controlling the mind. If we are mentally fit, body will respond positively to that and act accordingly. Without fitness, we can not overcome most of the negative emotions of life like fear, inferiority complex, timidity, submissiveness, lack of decision-making, lack of Energy,Vigor and Vitality and Leadership(EVVL). EVV governs the success factors in our social and professional life. Hence we should try to develop a lifestyle for ourselves based on the principle of EVVL. In our thought and actions we should indirectly display EVVL to be able to lead a satisfied life at the end of each day. We should have the right kind of tenacity,detremination, courage and leadership to survive in this modern world which has possibly consumed most of our human values and ethics, where we are supposed to fight constantly against the dishonest,crooked, anti-socials and the politician-criminal nexus.We must fight until death. Fighting against dishonesty can be one of the big missions of life. Fighting can of various forms. I believe that non-violence with non-cooperation is a method which can cure the existing social diseases permanently...

Money-centred life

If we do not earn enough money, no problem. We should manage with what we have right now. We should go on trying for a better life through honest means. Need for money and fulfillment of desires have no end. Instead, we should focus on physical fitness and spiritual development. These are at the focus for an intelligent mind. Idiots never focus upon spiritual development. We must start enchanting the Holy Names of God from itself to ignite the never-ending process of spiritual enlightenment. Spiritually enlightened persons are the true assets of the society and the nation....

Sublime thoughts and actions bring pure happiness

We can derive immense pleasure and happiness, through sublime,creative and innovative thinking. Thinking makes the man. From thinking we generate actions. Action produces results. If we live in the present, we find that we are the resultant effect of our past thinking. After day's work, we should try to stop our mental process and divert the same for spiritual thinking and actions. We should try to listen to the soothing words of devotion from the Devotees of God. The process should continue for a lifetime. Unconditional Surrendering to God (USG) will solve all problems of life and death.

Spiritual Development is the effect of constant practice

Through practice we should form such habits that are favorable to our spiritual development. The process is continuous and infinite at the same time. Formation of habits takes a long time. If we try to discipline ourselves, we have to stick to the courses of actions on a daily basis. Building up of good habits needs elimination of bad habits. Bad habits results into loss of mental peace and other material goals of life. Bad habits are dissipative in nature. When major part of physical and mental energies are consumed by bad habits and poor nature of work, we are bound to be unsuccessful as a person. Good habits boosts up our energy level and we can use those creative energies for various kinds of innovative activities. When we are consistent with some good habits like punctuality,commitment of words and works,honesty,dedicated,sincerity, and compassion, we are to work with pleasure. If that becomes coupled with Devotion(Bhakti) towards God and His infinite Compassion, we shall become self-realized persons. Self-realized persons are selfless. Selflessness is the key to God-realization. Selfless actions can do the miracle in our personal life. When we work for happiness of others, we find that our own happiness is nothing but a bundle of rotten desires and animal-like behaviors. Human being can pursue such actions which ultimately benefit others.
Life is action...
Life is sacrifice...
Life is search for the Absolute Truth i.e. God...
God lies in the hearts of His devotees...
