The Rich , Richer and the Richest !!

Jai Gurudev !!

A very happy New Year to one and all !! 

New Year is a time of  celebration , which everyone would love to do it without fail !! There may be exceptions hear and there !
Atleast once in a year , we stop for a moment to take a lookback at our life , make some new resolutions to correct ourselves and we look forward for a better , fulfilling year ahead !!

Those who celebrate the New Year once a year is a common phenomenon ...Wishing the near and dears , doing prayers , wearing new dress , tasting cakes ,sweets and special food items etc.
Can we call them as Rich persons ?







But , one step ahead of them , there are those , who celebrate the birth of every day , at the dawn of the Sun  . They consider every day as new and fresh . Forgetting the worries of the previous day , they will move about with fresh mind , with a cheerful spirit . They wind up completely for the day before sleep . No carryovers of the worries to the next day at all . The next day will be started newly .We can call these persons as Richer !!

There's one more category of people , who are at one more pedestal higher or superior .
And they are those , who celebrate every moment !!
Every moment is fresh for them !!
One can see the never dying enthusiasm and high spirit , characterising this type of people.
They are always seen charged up with high energy , positive ofcourse !!
And their energy is in such a way that , it catches up the one who comes in contact with them and elevates  them up too .
We can call them as the Richest , celebrating every moment of their life !!

Could you classify yourself ?
Would like to like to come under the Richest category  ?

Desalination Plants ...

Jai Gurudev !!


Desalination is the process by which salt and minerals are removed from salt water , so that it can be used for drinking and irrigation purposes .  In regions where there are no Fresh water bodies or where there are no sufficient rains , huge desalination plants are set up to convert the sea water into Fresh water. We can see many such desalination plants in Gulf region . The desalination plant involves multilevel distillation processes to desalinate the water to a higher degree.

Though the man made Desalination plants have gained popularity in recent years and the cost involved in the construction and maintenance are enormous , we can see the natural Desalination plants spread across widely especially in the tropical regions near the ocean , in beaches , near rivers and in other places where there are plenty of rainfalls and sunlight . 
The Natural desalination plants are a boon to the humanity . In India we find their extensive cultivation in Kerela . As one can easily guess , it's the coconut tree , which is the subject of discussion.
 

We can see the Coconut Tree as one such natural desalination plant . It's highly tolerant of salt water .The coconut tree taps the water from the ground and  just purifies it into clean and sweet coconut water and stores it  inside the coconut , which we relish drinking as tender coconuts. It cools our body system and is very good for our health too , a prescriptional medicine for many diseases also.

  Having discussed of the Man-made and natural desalination plants , it  brings to our mind  , a wonderful comparison to the desalination plants  , that is quite amazing.
It's none other than us Humans .
As humans , we are so much stuck in the material world and we are not aware of own consciousness .And there comes something called as the Knowledge Factor , which acts as the Coconut tree and lifts us to a blissful state from the state of agony and misery . The Knowledge of our self wipes away our miseries, gets us rid off the ignorance ; purifies us and keeps us ever happy . The Knowledge or awareness that one develops during his lifetime can be termed as something very precious and never lost births after births .

Why do you do the Charity ?

Jai Gurudev !!

With our age moving up , at one point of time , we feel like doing charity or do some service to the needy like Orphanages , Old Age homes or handicapped institutions , donating blood, educatig children , adopting the kids  etc. 
The service may also include other types which is spiritually based like spreading the knowledge of Truth or Self Knowledge  to people through  various spiritual techniques . The spiritual techniques may be Yoga, meditation, Breathing techniques , Prayers , Chanting etc...
Whatever may be the service , the service can be broadly classified into five types as

1. First type is :We do the service just to show off or gain recognition .
     We generally see this type of service in case of politicians or even some rich people to be in the limelight in their social circle.
     They do that because it would gain fame and popularity to them .

2.  Second type : We do the service expecting some merit in future.
It's like we do some charity or help someone because we believe that it's going to fetch some good merit to us in our future.We have the belief that if we do something good to someone , we might get back the same or in multifolds in our next birth or to our children etc.

3.Third Type is : We do the service because it gives us Joy !!
Like if we relieve someone from their troubles or problem , we feel happy . Some thing inside us becomes happy . We feel some unparalled joy sort.
Once that joy of giving joy to others is tasted , then one tends to do similar services more and more to get more joy again and again.

4. Fourth type of Service : We do the service because it is needed at that particular point of time.

Whenever the situation necessitates some immediate action to be taken either by cash or kind , then the service is offered by the individuals without any second thought. Probably , it's like ,we always wait for an opportunity to serve others and just do it , when and where the demand arises.

5. Then come the last type of service , that is , " We serve the people /world as part of our nature " .
We do not even recognise that we are doing some service to others. We just do it as though it's our part of our job or nature. We just cannot keep quiet without doing it .




So, out of the five types of service , the last type of service stands above the rest .
One can see oneself growing in the five levels of service gradually , if they consciously do it , observing their state of mind at each step.

We also can observe one interesting thing here that , the first type of service is simply exhausting , draining out all the energy  whereas the last type of service does not give any tiredness at all and gives more energy and enthusiasm rather!!

So, hope you are in one type of service ?
If so , where do you stand ?!

Love & smiles....



   

Merry X'mas !!

Jai Gurudev !!

Snowy surroundings … Chilly  Air … Freezing temperature !!

The buildings , the trees everything wear a snowy white coat . The green leaves of the trees cannot be spotted out at all .People are  seen moving around with thick leather Jackets, pull overs  and Hats or Caps. This characterizes the  month of December .

None of the trees bear any flowers or fruits in this season .

Though this is the case , there’s one tree which provides us with the ample amount of gifts , chocolates and glitters with colorful lights and makes us happy in this season .

As you guess it right , that’s none other than the Christmas tree !! This marks the specialty of the Christmas tree ,where all the other trees go behind the scene, the X’mas tree alone is the one which stands above the rest .

 The X’mas tree indirectly indicates … the entry of the Divine in the times of tough in one’s life , due to whose Love , all our miseries vanish and we get all joy we want as like the Xmas tree gives us abundantly the gifts even in rough weather conditions .

The world celebrates the birth of the Master , Jesus Christ  in December  and it is a month of celebration all over the world .The city is decorated everywhere ,the malls , the houses, the shopping lanes everything decked up with sparkling lights everywhere. The  people are busy participating in the Christmas carols, singing the glory of  the Lord  , shopping to grace the festive occasion  and exchanging the gifts with the loved ones and attending special mass/prayers in the Church . The brightly colored ,  illuminated Star can be seen hanging in front of each house welcoming the birth of the Jesus Christ . Not to forget… the X’mas tree decoration that ‘s done with great interest and enthusiasm in every household. It’s a wonderful sight  watching them which delights the onlooker and we can say in short ,  a time for merriment time with friends and family.

Merry X'Mas for all !!

May we see the Bright Light in our lives !!

May the Birth of the Divine uplifts us in all ways !!

May the Joy and Happiness embraces us all !!

May the world live in eternal Peace forever !!

Love & smiles...

Born again and again !!

Jai Gurudev !!



 

How many Kgs of Joy do you need ?


A baby is born in a family ...
We see the baby does not come empty handed !!

Are you celebrating me ?

It brings in loads and loads of Joy to the family .

The celebration begins with the distribution of sweets to near and dears!!

The parents and the grandparents of the baby step into a wonderful world , with all their miseries vanishing . The problems of the family , if any would bother less or no more .

The presence of a child makes the atmosphere cool and enchanting.

The enthusiastic nature of the baby just radiates all around.

The innocent smile cannot be paralled with any other precious things in the world.

In short  we can the family is gifted to have a baby !!
The family which deprives of a baby can innately and deeply feel the real value of it !!

They say that the presence of a baby is the same as that of an enlightened master. Both fetch enormous joy and happiness to the people around. The reason being , they live in the present moment totally.

They do not sit and worry over the past nor they keep thinking of the future . What they do is , they are just absorbed in the present moment . And that infact is Yoga  !!

Apart from that , the baby by its actions , behaviour or appearance keeps reminding us of our ancestors or the family members who have departed . Something indicates us the connection.
Though the science says it's due to heredity , there's much more we can observe , apart from what science says !
During our lifetime , how much bondage do we develop with the individual family memebers !
Once the body is lost ,  we cannot lose the thick bondage we have developed in the whole lifetime as such.
May be because of  this so called bondage , the departed members rather departed souls keep returning back with a new body again and again into the world or the same family , says the scriptures.

And that's one of the reason , in most of our communities, the new born baby carries the name of its grandparent .

Probably , they would be christened a second name to suit the modern world and still that name stays with it as an alias .

So,  is it not apt to say ...
We are born again and again ...
Ofcourse everytime with a different body package !!






Love & smiles...    

In another forty years ....

Jai Gurudev !!

Everything created in this world , be it a flower or a fruit or an animal contribute something to the world before it loses its identity .

If that's the case, what is the contribution of man to the world ?

Does he make his presence in the world a beneficial one or a detrimental one ?

Taking a deep insight into this aspect , in another some years say 40 /50 years , none of us are going to be here for sure . In this short span of time , what can we contribute to the world ?

How can we be useful to the people around us or the world we are living ?

Instead of concentrating on "what I am going to get from this world ? " , 
if we question ourselves , " What I can give to this world during my short life span ?"
we can see a drastic change in the world and in  oneself too !!

The corruption, scams , violence etc etc will see its end soon then , is it not ?!

Homeopath pill and a man ...

Jai Gurudev !!

Homeopathy type of treatment is one of the effective ways to cure the allergy and asthma related diseases.

Though these medicines need to be taken for a longer duration of time , one can see  a permanent cure of the diseases , which allopathy medicines cannot do that .

What wonders us is the pills given as prescription . There are certain rules to be followed while taking the pills. It should be taken either half an hour before or after food / coffee / tea . The food intake also includes mint or any strong flavoured items. Further , the pills should not be touched by hands or fingers so that the pills do not lose its potency . The pills are nothing but minute sugar granules , which the homepathy doctors mix them with few drops of the medicine and shake them up instantly in front of us and provide us in labelled tiny containers. The pills numbering 4 to 6 would have to be counted and kept underneath the tongue . Normally they prescribe for a week and one needs to consult the doctor again for the next course of medicines.

But , this tiny pills doing magic is something to be amazed at .

Yes, the size of the the pills is as small as minute beads .

Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy believed that restoring the ‘vital forces’ of the body is the way to cure diseases that were incurable in his time. He also claimed that the very small doses of a medication would be enough to heal as the potency of a particular substance could be manipulated by succussion (vigorous shaking)     

If the homepathy medicine , whose size is 1 /10000  or even lesser of our body size can produce a significant effect on our body and cure the disease , why not a single person can influence the community or a group of people in the right way  ?

Why not a single person with his positive thoughts and attitudes /actions can bring in a positive change in and around the place he/she  lives in  ?

Will not the meditative powers of one can effect the thought process of the many ?

 Every single person can do wonders in a bigger level just as homeopath medicines do for the betterment of the world  !!

Love & smiles....
