Solution to the Problem

What really stresses us most is not able to hit on a solution to our problems... and we so much love them that's why I call them "our" problems. The affinity is so high that we revel in the problem, looking for a solution and not finding any....

An increasing resistance to whats happening to us and the constant question: "why would things go another way and not my way", hence we are not able to comprehend the problem but yet seek a way out.

As I always say: the key is awareness. Understand the problem and there is a magical sequence of events leading to the solution. The solution is not a big deal, an awareness to the issue, gives an opening.

Our non-acceptance of the problem followed by fearing to understand it is the main obstacle to the solution.

Mother Teresa: "Do It Anyway"


The version found written on the wall in Mother Teresa's home for children in Calcutta:

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.
Forgive them  anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.
Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.
Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten.
Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.
Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.
It was never between you and them anyway.

-this version is credited to Mother Teresa

[Heard this today at my daughter's school assembly where we were invited for Childrens Day]

Are you searching for your purse?

There are good people and bad people!! There are happy times and bad times! There are nice thoughts and loser thoughts! So there is the good and bad everywhere but the bad is what influences us and hurts us deep. I have rarely acknowledged a good act. Today let me consciously share one such happening :)

Today morning to school was a little rushed as my husband had to leave early for work, that meant early breakfast and chai. I had one less work as he had to attend a seminar at a hotel so no lunch box to be packed. As I was packing my daughter's box, I was checking what the teacher had asked for art work today. We realized that the kg cardboard at home was not big enough as mentioned by the teacher. My responsible and calm husband got one from the store nearby :P (the one that is open before 8am too :))

By 8:05am we were out and I was telling my daughter that we are 5 mins late than our usual time. We werent late at all so we went along to school chatting on the way. Her school is 5 mins walk from our flat. After I dropped her, I felt my hands empty. I had my house key but no purse. Where is my purse? I looked in my daughter's bag but nothing.

I panicked a bit, tracing my way back where I could have possibly dropped it. I was sure of one thing it must have happened near her school as I remember it in my hand for a long time. What was worrying me more is that my purse had my mobile in it. I began planning to block the mobile SIM and there was only Rs 50 in the purse, some bills and the building access card. Not such a bad loss I thought.

As I was looking on the road for my purse heading back to home, a school van (white maruti) stopped with two men in it asking me "Are you searching for your purse?" I told "Yes, I lost my purse" and I then spotted the purse in their hands and they smilingly gave it to me and I thanked them dazed, like this wasnt real :)

What a relief!!! :) I thank the kind men who tracked me and went a distance back to reach me to give back the purse.

I am happy that there are good people and nice things do happen :)

Baba Ramdev, educated society and religion

There are lot of ignorant educated people out in India who think that Yoga is to do with religion. I got one guy commenting on twitter that "I don't have anything do with a man who wears a saffron attire"

Yoga is to do with the body and the mind that leads to spirituality. Dear friends religion and spirituality are not the same. In fact religion is where you follow a book of rules, while spirituality is just about an experience of an healthy body and mind.

I have never been in favor of Baba Ramdev's speeches on issues, not because he didnt have a good agenda in place. He has a very simplistic approach to solve huge societal issues that cannot be done by in manners he executes them. Further his style may also not be very attractive as he isnt as suave an educated English speaking society in the cities would look at it. :P

When Baba Ramdev started his fast, I was not keenly following it but I happened to see the lathi charge late night when we got back home after a happy Saturday night partying. It was certainly shocking and exposed what the government can get at.

While tweeting I didn't see any of the people there really getting together to raise their voice against the police brutality instead they mocked Baba Ramdev, his garb, his escape and the happenings. Mr. Anna Hazaare was not part of Baba Ramdev's fast  but after the Government action through the police, he has shown his support to Baba Ramdev because one can see "Something is terribly wrong" and as responsible citizens we shouldn't act ignorant :)

And when I saw my friend Arul's status, I was happy to know one person got it :)


"Arul (Ta'fxkz) Baliah: Ramdev has said that yoga cannot be limited to physical exercises, that it also a way to cleanse the soul and the society Regardless of his motivations, I have to agree with that sentiment. The ancient paths of the spiritual seers were not a bunch feel good practices but actual revolution, war and great personal risk. (www.tafxkz.info)"

And who wants a revolution, who cares. Arent we so comfortable doing what we do everyday??

Wake up you illiterate educated fools!!!

Feeling Obliged


Column by Sri Sri Ravishankar
  
Feeling Obliged?    
Belongingness can bring about a host of negative emotions. Like demand, jealousy, unawareness and lack of gratitude. Just look into your own life, you feel more grateful to strangers than the people you feel "belong" to you. Belongingness reduces gratefulness, awareness, and gives rise to demands which destroys love. This is the biggest problem in relationships. People are nice to strangers and give more attention to them. With a sense of belongingness comes carefreeness and lack of attention.

Look belongingness can make you insensitive, dull, and take away the charm in life!


Anyway, who belongs to whom in this world? Here you are a stranger and everyone is a stranger to you!
Blessed are those who feel themselves as a stranger!


You feel more obligation to a stranger than the person you feel belongs to you. Obligation is very good to keep a check on your ego. It makes you humble. There is no greater antidote to ego than humility. Being humble is the beginning of all virtues.


People have such resistance for obligations. They do not realize that they are always under obligations, whether giving or taking! Dull people think that one is obliged only when one takes. The wise knows that even when one is giving one is under obligations, as the person has accepted what one gives. So whether you give or take you are under obligations. And if someone does not give or take, you are still under obligation! For they are freeing you from visible obligations!!


That is to say, you are obliged to all those who do not make you obliged!!! Got it?


Life (you) renews itself everytime by becoming a stranger in this old and familiar world.
You are simply loaded with obligations and you are a total stranger in this world every moment!
How does it feel?


Jai Gurudev!!
