On Marriage.

The one question which seems to be ever untiring about me is "Why are you not married?".And I really do not know what to answer as i do not know the answer.But a few thoughts about it do surface.Initially,when the marriage "season" originated in my life,it was an egoistic thought on meeting someone "will she be able to take care of my insanity?". When immature wisdom dawned a little later, the thought changed "will i be able to take care of her?".I call it immature wisdom since it was wiser than the earlier egoistic self-care thought,but still immature since it was devoid of the reality that nobody can really take care fully of anybody.The real care-taker is the supreme Lord and his not-negotiable laws,which if observed religiously,will bestow natural protection and care.But I wonder if we qualify to marry without any clue of these laws of emotions,thoughts and care.Are we unselfish enough to pledge our life to someone,whom we can love unconditi...

Free Career Guidance..

As I see today most of my young friends on their way to graduation or on the verge of it have no bases whatsoever for the selection of their profession or their vocation.Most of them go by herd instinct or what is the 'In Thing' or blindly takeup what their father's are doing whether it is business or CA or doctor.Does this make this make any sense? Is somwthing which is so important and life long selection to be made so immaturely?Do you have the time or inclination or wisdom or courage to hear your heart voice and pursue it without considering whether it has your so called market value?this is so tragic when I see students who are so well-of and who can easily use this gifted opportunity to experiment about this.Do you know what Gita has to say on this? Lord Krishna roars "follow your Swadharma that is your inherint nature,appitude ,talent ,inclination in doing whatever you need to do to earn your livlihood only then can u find fulfillment". If you dont follow t...

All is Well

Recently I happened to speak to my dear student wondering why she hadn't come for the weekly lectures.To which she replied that if 'all is well' (Aamir please note) she would definitely come this monday.I smiled and asked her "if all was really well then why need you come there anyways?".Don't we need this knowledge especially when we have this false sense of complacence that all is well.Is it really so?does all really become well by noding at your heart singing "all is well".Remove just one card of your crutches and beware that your entire house of supposed wellbeing will collaspe like a pack of cards.

Our choice

A murtikar brought 3 exactly similar murtis for sale to the king but priced them at Re.1,Rs100 & Rs.10000 respectively.The king wondered why since they looked identical from outside & material used was also same.The murtikar called for a thread.He put the thread into the 1st one's ear and it came out of the other ear.In the 2nd one it was put into the ear and it came out of the mouth.Tn the 3rd one it was put into the ear & it dint come out.Similarly our worth is also decided by whether wisdom goes through one ear to another or whether the wisdom gathered is flown out of the mouth as a sermon for others or whether the wisdom earned is internalised for self transformation. Choice is ours.

Workout

Do you know why one needs a 'workout'? Its only because one has forgotten to 'work-in'.There is no need felt for taking care of the mind & no need felt for developing the intellect since the entire focus is restricted to the body & beautifying it.As a result all the gyms are full & satsangs(mental gymnasium) stay empty.
