Y t's difikult 2 b simple

Simplicity is god’s creation while complexity is human creation.

Divine things are always simple but maybe we fail to comprehend or maybe we fail to appreciate them.

Many services and other things run only because they are complex; their creators have fear of losing business if they simplify them. Ideally an expert is a person who creates complex situations and puts us in those complex situations so that afterwards he can rescue us from those complexities.

In relation too we fail to understand pure love as it is simple and without frills. We start doubting it as it is too simple to digest. Doubt is a slow poison which kills simplicity and innocence and creates complexities.

So let’s understand the power of simplicity and lets honour its existence as its god’s gift. In this era simplicity is associated with foolishness. We have habit of complexions and whatever we expect we get that only in return, its the simple rule of nature.

Who am I?

I don’t know who am I. Am I manifestation of desires? Am I reflection of friends I keep both real and virtual? Or am I angst of my rivals both known and unknown. What are the things that define my existence? Is it my I-card or my driving license or still better my file of degrees? Am I defined by the goals I have achieved or those unachieved goals. Am I limited by the relations attached with me or am I extended by relations I create. Or grossly am I defined by food I eat or movie or serial I relish. Do my choices obvious or planned shape my thinking and so shape me. But in any way I shape am I limited to that shape and defined by that.

Am I known by my religion or the Gods I worship? Do I change with all the hands I shake or the eyes I stare at or even the fantasies I cherish or the people I love and don’t want to be away from them? Or the activities I do in bed or out of bed mould me. Do the teams I cheer for make me? Am I what my physical looks say or am I the habits I keep or rather the choices of clothes and other things like vehicles and club memberships define me?

Well anyway who needs these definitions? It is rather easy to say that we are shaped by the risks we take and opportunities we get, but still who we are totally depends on our behavior with others and the love and compassion we have for others.

Think purple

 

Thinking purple means to stay always in joy. This means we enjoy each and every moment. What makes it different is its not extreme; means its not red meaning full joy or ecstasy, neither it’s grey or black which means gloomy. It’s the right amount of joy to keep us happy with continuous cosmic energy reflected by us and passed to everyone around us so that it becomes contagious and everyone around us is happy in our company and they feel light.

When we have extreme happiness then it is short and fades away fast same with extreme gloom or evil happiness they also pass away too soon. So the thing is to feel happy without reason and have this little spark in our smile and manner.

Purple is also combination of pink and blue both representing the genders of female and male. Which means that happiness is genderless and ever lasting as our spirit itself. So  its  today this moment and every moment to feel that purple happiness without any grudge or any source of happiness to add the spice in the right proportion to our life.

Creativity

The maximum time we spend is in our schooling starting right from age three to twenty or twenty two. This is the largest amount of time we spend anywhere in our life. Ultimately it is said that we are just made to remember the facts. There is no time to think original ideas. It is said that “Whatever is left after we forget our schooling is education. But in the first case why we are to filter everything, even the “Chaiwala” knows what he is to filter. Then we complain that our education system is not churning out more entrepreneurs, artists, and thought leaders. Only it creates is good doctors and engineers or in and case good graduates.

The fact that school teaches 7 subjects + homework + burden of tuitions and expectations to score well. Any student hardly gets any time to think, leave aside to question anything new. That is with clever students. But how is to take away that candy or favourite TV program away from lazy bones.

In this age of fast communications copying has become very easy, so why bother to create anything new. The school provides good library and good gaming facilities. That’s fine but still library is as vivid as world and sports here means just cricket. So the train of thoughts never starts. It just decays.

What the schools need is a good lab. I mean it is just a big room with all tools for manual work, computers, printers, board etc plus the permission to bring in anything new or to create new projects which are sellable. I mean by which the students can explain the potential of why the hell they are doing what they are doing?

Then and then only we can have thought engines who will lead the world, they maybe good sportsman, advocates, managers and even doctors and engineers and what-not, the time has come to coin in new terms for such people and talents which never existed before. We have called even Munnabhai a doctor and a teacher who taught us gandhian way. So guys time to think.

Immortality

On hearing this word many feelings sprout in our mind and even connected scenes are displayed in our mind like ever-green pastures, huge banyan etc

The word is mythical and many persons have tried to be immortal. We can be immortal bodily or spiritually. But the question arises why wish immortality in the first hand. What will we do if we gain immortality? What type of projects can we start if we are immortal? We have known many stories of immortality in our mythology also, like of Bhishman, Kripacharya, Ved Vyas, Ashwathma, Hanuman etc. But the wisest choice is given to Bhishma as he is granted “Iccha Mrityu”, which is death on wish and not immortality. Here if we take accounts of everyone’s life, only Hanuman has made a place of respect in the minds of people and that also not due to his immortality but due to his undefeatable powers and his service to the master. So are we sure we want to be immortal or do we think immortality as a blessing or curse? Myths state that even gods and demons are not immortal. They require nectar to make them immortal.

Some creatures are shown to rise after death and are considered evil e.g. Dracula. They can live on and on for centuries.

But thinking scientifically nectar is used to stop bodily process of ageing and breathing as they are related and sometimes even fertility. But let’s think about the dooms day, which is one fine day when an asteroid strikes our earth wiping out every living thing, so will it be possible for the immortals to survive? And if they survive will they be in proper form? This is the form we know about bodily immortality.

As Hinduism believes spirit is the main thing in our body that connects us to the supreme.

Brain

It is a wonderful organ as it allows us to think. How it works is still a puzzle for us. But we are sure that it doesn’t work on its own. It has to be taught to work much like we teach our hands and legs to work. It doesn’t work on its own, if this will be the case everyone will be intelligent, more often it is difficult to make it work, for it works fast when we are in danger, or when the circumstances are not clear and results are murky. It performs when pressed upon. That’s what has been proved by the nature as well as Darwin’s theory.

People often confuse memory power with the brain power (at least this is true in our education system). We stress on memorizing rather than being creative, the students whose memory power is strong can score more than creative students, as the later is bored by the lack of new initiatives, that’s why most of the scientist were school drop-outs, this also explains that village students have greater problem solving abilities compared to city ones.

We Indians believe in Kundilini and Kundilini really is created in mind first and then it takes its incarnation in our body. But are we sure what do we mean by brain power? Chess grand masters and formula one drivers are faster to reactions and devising new routes and policies. But are our scientists really fast or slow, or even can our brains be networked to communicate, which will be in the form of faster work outs as the fastest things we know are our thoughts. And if we can harness the speed of our thoughts we can perform the work of centuries in less than micro-second. That is the principle of super-human. Really everyone wants to control the thought process.

We have seen and heard many chronic diseases being cured by sheer thoughts. If we can invent machines such as thought provocateurs and dream machines (which is not far due to virtual reality), we can cure most of the diseases without medication and even grow cut-off limbs, then it will be just matter of thoughts. We as people have kept brain of Einstein; maybe someday we may be able to clone humans of his capacity. But are we really sure that what Einstein was, was purely because of his brain, truly if we are to believe Kundilini that will be difficult to believe

Importance of trees

Trees are our best friend. We can’t imagine our life without trees. They help to reduce pollution and bring rain. We can use all parts of tree for some or other use.

At present the world is surrounded by pollution. The temperature of our earth is increasing and the snow glaciers are melting. It affects the season cycle also. It can cause lot of natural calamities like famine, flood, cyclones and earth quakes to name some. Our country is developing rapidly and this is possible because of industrial expansion. This industrial expansion brings with it all types of pollution. So we need trees to contain this pollution. Trees absorb carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide and give us oxygen. They are like saints who take every bad thing and return good things only.

Roots of tree hold the soil firmly so that the dust does not fly much. Also during rain the fertile soil does not flow away at the trees stop erosion. Planting trees also stop the desert from advancing. Trees help in preserving the ground water and so the land stays fertile. More trees mean more rain so less chances of famines.

Trees are the clothes of our mother Earth so it is our duty to preserve them. It is a wonderful and cool feeling to sit or sleep under the cool shade of tree. It is our duty to pass on this natural heritage to our future generation. If we don’t preserve trees then next generation will see them in museums only or on National Geographic channel only. Trees are home to many kinds of birds and animals also. If there are no trees then these animals and birds will also not live.

Trees give us wood to build our house and furniture. Any part of tree can be used as an Ayurvedic medicine to cure us from many problems. These medicines have no side effects as they are totally natural and so easily accepted by our body. Also these medicines remove the problem from the root so no chance of the same problem arising again. It is possible to cure very hard disease on which no other medicines will work.

Any country or state should have at least thirty percent of forest cover. Our country has only twenty three percent of the forest cover. It is up to us to preserve this natural heritage.

In our state we celebrate “Van Mahotsav” to grow more trees. It is a good sign. Everyone should take an oath to plant a tree on their birthday every year. In this way we humans can return something to out mother earth.

How can we save water?

Water is the most precious resource available to man. Without water no living thing can live for long. Water is the gift of divine and it should be used carefully.

Our earth is covered by 75% water but it is saline water and not useful for drinking. We can drink water which is pot able and it is available from rain and the snow melting from the mountains in the form of river. It is wise to collect the rain water for our use. In this way we stop the potable water from being wasted. Indian is an agrarian economy and most of our farmers depend on rain water for farming. We should construct check dams for saving the rain water. Also all the houses should have underground tanks to store the rain water and use this water for full year. We can use water coming on our terrace by routing it to underground tank with the help of pipes. In this way it is easy to collect rain water in the underground tank.

Farmers should use water saving techniques like drip irrigation for saving water in their farming. Mainly water is polluted by the chemicals flowing from industries into the rivers so government should be strict with such industries which flow their waste into river without treating the polluted water first. Even in villages rules should be made by the Panchayat for the proper use of water. Village people should be advised not to bath their cattle directly in the river but use separate tanks built near rivers so that pollution of the river can be stopped. In domestic use we should try to stop using shower for bathing and prefer the old method of bucket. This can save more than 50% water we use for bathing. All the leaking tapes and broken pipes should be replaced immediately. At the time of brushing we should not keep the tap open but open it only when needed. These good habits can save lots of water. It is said that in past wars were fought for oil but future wars will be fought for water. In city we are already experiencing the inability of the municipality in providing pure drinking water and so we have to rely on private companies and buy water from them. It has become a very profitable business for these companies.

Trees help in bringing rain but we are cutting them down rapidly so rain is becoming lesser and lesser and we can feel the scarcity of water everywhere. So it is very wise to grow more trees and help the environment and help ourselves. The regions which had very good rain in the past are facing the situation of drought. Why this is happening? This question we should ask to ourselves. Water is life itself. So is said “Save water and water will save you”.

Should we use plastics?

From the brush we use in morning to clean our teeth to the mosquito repellent we use at night, plastics play a very important role in our life. This is the material which has changed our life style.

Yes we should use plastics as without it making of mobiles, computers and all the electronic items is very difficult and nearly impossible. All the circuits and the chips are made only from the plastics. In today’s time it is possible to make plastic which is stronger than steel and even bullet proof plastic is possible. Many parts of space craft are made up of plastic. It is very useful in satellites and fibre optics. It is not that we use plastics for high end use only we can use it to manufacture cheap products which are affordable to poor people.

Plastic is very durable material and it is also resistant to water and electricity so we can use it to make many electric and electronic products. We can make it fire proof and bullet proof also and use it for next generation defence equipments and future weapons. Plastic has revolutionized each and every area of our life and at present to think about our present and future without plastic is impossible.

For farmers also the plastic pipes are very useful as they never rust and so they can be used underground for many years. With the use of plastic pipes water is also not wasted. In the field of medicine also plastics save many lives with each new invention. Disposable syringes have saved us from contagious disease. It is now possible to replace some of our body parts with plastic parts. CDs and DVDs are the gift of plastic. They have made it possible to store large number of songs and videos on them. With their help we can convert our hall into theatre and get the same experience as theatre in the comfort of our home.

Plastic is not destroyable material so it creates lots of pollution. If we bury it in land it cannot be dissolved in the soil so it makes the land barren. If we burn it then poisonous gases mix in the atmosphere. In spite of all its benefits we should use plastic carefully. We should avoid disposable things like glasses, plastic packing and thin bags or any plastic product which can be used once only. When we buy plastic we should buy it of best quality so that it is very durable and we can use it many times. We can be happy as now bio-degradable plastic is also available but at present it is out of reach of common man. So the best that we can do for our environment is to use plastic as less as possible and to use it only where it is really necessary.

Importance of money

Money is very important in every people’s life. Sometimes we give it more importance than our near and dear people and sometimes it becomes more important that the god itself. Money is the reality of our modern life. All people need it and everyone wants it and we are literally running behind money but lot of people like to think that they are not running behind money and try to give a better face to money earning activity.

We need money to buy every single facility of our life. We need money for the basic necessities of our life as well as for better education and better standards of life. We also need money for entertainment and communication facilities which have now become the basic necessities of our life. Money can buy anything. If our any work is not getting completed we can always rely on the power of money to get it completed.

People do many things to earn money like job or business but whatever we do we are never satisfied by the amount of money we earn. We always want it more and more.

It is possible to live life without money but we can’t avail any facilities available to humans. In today’s time even sadhus need money to live their life. All the types of crimes are committed for the want of money and are related directly or indirectly to money. Everyone should earn money and earn enough money to fulfill their needs, wants and desires. It is said by Bill Gates that “We may be born poor as it can be our fate but to die poor is a crime”. People want to become rich very fast they don’t like hard work, patience and planning to earn money. We all can see the life style of the rich and the famous and we fail to see the effort they have put into this. So people try different risky and dangerous ways as short cuts to become rich. It is not a crime to become rich fast but it is a crime if we take wrong ways for this. Most of the people taking short cuts end up in the places they have never imagined.

So money is very important in our life and without money nobody respects us in our society or in our group and in our family also. It is also said that money is a bad master but a very good servant. So we should not run behind money but in this modern age use our intellect to generate new ideas for earning money.

Importance of Time

Time is the costliest thing provided by the nature. Everything in this universe is bound by time. Every day we wake up twenty four hours are deducted from our life account. It depends on us how we use these hours. If we can utilize these hours we can become great but if we can’t utilize them they pass away without our notice.
We are born according and we grow up physically and mentally according to time and we die also according to time. The wheels of time can’t be reversed so the life we live today will never return tomorrow or any other day. Time waits for no one so if we don’t value time we lose important part of our life.
All the seasons change according to time. We do all our activities on time. Sometimes even slip of a second can cost many lives. Sometimes the years pass very fast but sometimes it is difficult to pass some minutes. We grow old and weak because of time but we can neither stop time nor reverse it. What we can do is, just care for every second of our life and make them meaningful and useful. If we don’t value time people will not trust us and will not give us any responsibilities for they will think that this person is not able to come on time then how can he handle bigger responsibilities? So there are big chances that we may lose opportunity knocking at our door just because we are not punctual. The students who do not care for their time during full year regret at the time of exam for wasting lot of time but it’s no use as that time will never return.
According to the theory of Einstein if we can travel at speed greater that the speed of light then it may be possible to travel in time. This means we can go back to our past or we can go to our future. We won’t be slaves of time anymore. At present this is not possible but who knows what will happen in future? If this becomes possible then we can tackle past problems with the futuristic knowledge. So let’s hope for the best but till this does not become possible we have to take care of our time and use it as the rarest resource available to us. If we value time then we can advance in our life and we can also help our country to advance. People always complain that they don’t have time but busiest person always have time as their time management is very good. So if we want that our work is finished on time assign it the person who is very busy.
