Unreachable Desires Create Trouble in Life

The existence is not possible without desire. We have multiple desires keep popping-up in our life. Desire puts us into action. It is not possible in human life to fulfill all the desires. And these all unfilled desires create trouble in our life. Our mind can generate good and bad desires. What the things, we continuously think and see out of our desire, that creates attachment with the stuffs, out of attachment we try grab those at any cost, if we do not get it, we get the frustration, out of frustration, we bewildered, and hence loss of memory and good thinking, once we lose our thinking, we stop discrimination between good or bad. And at any cost ethically and unethically, we want to have those things in our life without thinking of its future consequences.

Selection of desire is in our hand. As we cannot fulfill all the desires in our short span of life, we need to think and select meticulously what kind of desire we want to foster in our life. The sane and intellectual person, make a selection of the pulsating desires by reckoning its future impact on the self and the generation. The crackpot, on the other hand, makes the selection of the desire without thinking about the future concern. Desire flows like a river, once it chooses the direction, it keeps flowing in that direction only. Bad desires keep creating bad desires and good desires keep creating good desires. Once the desire is created, and you chose the desire, then you have to fulfill it, otherwise, you have to suffer, due to that desire.

Form a habit and enhance knowledge and understanding of selecting good and genuine desires among various desires, rest you can discard. Focus completely to fulfill your selected and pulsating desire to ostracize from suffering in your life due to an unfulfilled desire. The formation of good habit may look tough in the beginning, but it is easy to live with once it is formed. The bad habits and desire look doddle in the beginning, but tough to live with that, it keeps troubling you whether it is fulfilled or not fulfilled. Select your desire, take a strong decision on that and make a plan to fulfill that with your dedication and determination. Desire is the root of everything bad or good. Make a careful selection and fulfill it.

An Infectious Soul

We are not merely mind and body, we are soul. The soul gets body according to the Karma or deeds. The soul chooses his own body even before leaving his present body. This confidential knowledge remains with the soul, not disclosed with the physical conscious. The soul decides his future body on the basis of one`s activity and mentality. The abominable activities and thoughts sully the soul, it infects the soul. To get rid of the infection of the soul, the soul takes the body and senses accordingly. The infectious soul takes the body in the lower planets and creatures, where the soul gets an opportunity to offload his Karma. Trees, plants or any other creatures, they offload their Karma by providing their services to the human being and ecology, without expecting anything in return. By offloading their accumulated Karma, at last, the soul gets the body of human being to accumulated good Karma. The human gets the consciousness to do the search for their true identity and get the liberation from all the miseries. Animals and plants never commit suicide; they have to repay their Karma in the particular body and sense. Only human can do this heinous work, due to his free will.

Good Karma purifies the soul. Bad Karma besmirches it. The senses are greater than gross matter, mind is greater than senses, intelligence is greater than mind and soul is greater than intelligence. If our senses, mind and intelligence are getting indulge in dishonesty, vile, lust, greed, hatred, despise, envious, jealous and other perverted work for merely sense gratification, cause the contamination to our soul.

What we do or think on daily basis consciously or unconsciously, that is our Karma. In our slumber, our sub-conscious mind get domination over our conscious mind, and get the data which is stored in the conscious mind. The sub-conscious mind is the storehouse of the memory. Even the memory of the past lives and races are stored in it. The sub-conscious mind is very powerful. It does not have any logical power but have the honesty to execute what is stored in it. The messages which are stored in our sub-conscious mind, cause the impurity or conduct to our soul in our deep and dreamless sleep. The person who understands this concept always keeps a sincere watch on his actions and thoughts, whether he is in secluded place or in crowd. No one suffer from our thoughts and actions, but we. We can shroud our thoughts and activities from the crowd but not with the self. Our thoughts and activities are consistently being monitored. On the basis of our activities and thoughts, we get reward or retribution in this life or after. Good Karma gives us peace and happiness in this life and good birth in the higher planet in our next life or salvation from the continuous cycle of birth and death. The sully and infectious soul suffer in this life and hereafter. There is no peace and happiness for them anywhere, no matter how much external possession they have.

Any Form of Suicide is Cowardice

Any form of suicide is a cowardice act, whether you are killing your body or killing your dream. In either case you get punishment. Your soul loses its instrument, the body. By using the instruments, the soul had to accomplish his task in his life on this earth. The particular body, as an instrument, was assigned to the soul for a particular period to achieve major purpose of the life. By using free will and taking wrong decision or by fear, if someone loses his body by his own, the soul would be bereft of the body for remaining period or more as a punishment. No manifestation of the soul without body, and hence soul will suffer for its unlived life. Without body, deceased one become ghost, who want to do many things but cannot do anything without physical body, and wastes his remaining time in deep remorse. Similarly, killing of the dream is not less heinous act for human than killing his own body. People, who are living on the earth without any dream or effort to realize their dreams, are living a half-lived life. And, a half-lived life is worse than death. The unfulfilled dreams convert into nightmare. Nightmare addicted people get harassed in their life by their own mistake. At last, you cannot do anything but compunction of your life, for not taking step towards realizing your dream.

No dreams pop-up from within without having the blueprint of its realization.

Certainly, the life gets an end. No matter, you take decision in your life to pursue your dream with determination to not to give-up, or, be a cowardice not to take any risk in your life, and compel you to live an insecure life. The person, who does not take any risk in his life, lives in more insecurity, not that person who takes the risk and gives an honest and diligent effort to convert their dream into reality. There is no any reason for us not to take the step to pursue our dream and persist until we get it.

Goal Without Deadline is Dead : Manoj Kumar Baitha

Knowledge and Achievements

What is the best knowledge do you think, by acquiring that, you can achieve anything in your life, you can think of? That knowledge is not the knowledge you acquired from universities, it is not the knowledge you acquired from any different sources, it is not the knowledge, you got by getting specialized on one subject. All these knowledge is not considered as a supreme knowledge. By acquiring this knowledge, you may accumulate more arrogance, which is not the real purpose of a human being to be accomplished in his life. The true knowledge is to know your true self. To know about your potential, power, energy and your major purpose to be fulfilled in your short period of human life, is the true knowledge.

Getting merely knowledge and skill do not make you an achiever. Many knowledgeable and educated persons are living a mediocre life. Knowledge with appropriate action makes you an achiever. By repetition of knowledge, you get wisdom. Wisdom without work is barren of result. Work without knowledge is also barren of result. Knowledge and action are two required wings to soar in one’s life. One would be helpless with one strong wing without second one. It is said… “Knowledge is power”. This proverb is half-true. Knowledge is only a potential power. Knowledge with action is power. The knowledgeable person needs to form a habit of action to get the result out of his knowledge. The person who wants to perform action without knowledge is dangerous. Those persons need to acquire knowledge to perform the right action to get the result in his life.

First, focus on your primary knowledge of the true self, and belief on that that you as a human being can do anything you can think of. You can acquire any secondary knowledge; you can develop any skill, which can drive you to your major purpose in your life. Nothing can put limitation in your life, only it is the dearth of self-knowledge that put limitation before us.

Draupati and Her Five Husbands, A Symbolism

Draupati had five husbands, the five Pandavas. All five Pandavas had unrivalled prowess in their respective fields. Once Draupati had asked lord Shiva a boon to get a husband to have all five qualities what Pandavas were possessing. It was not possible for one person to have all these five distinct qualities at the same time. It happened to Draupati to get five Pandavas as her husbands to sooth her boon. She kept herself busy to serve and satisfy her five husbands. One day, while playing a gamble with his cousin Kauravas, Yudhishtir, elder brother of Pandavas, gambled away his entire kingdom along with his common wife, Draupati, even without consulting her. All Pandavas had their individual wives as well, but he did not gambled out his own wife, but common wife, Draupati. Dushashna, one of the Kauravas, dragged Draupati in the palace before the assembly, and started disrobing her to insult Pandavas. She begged for help from her husbands, but of no use. Ultimately, she remembered lord Krishna to help her, and lord Krishna helped her to save her prestige before the assembly.

Draupati`s Five husbands are the symbolism of our five senses viz. Touch, Taste, Smell, Hearing and Vision … Our senses are so impetus and strong that it can shake even the controlled and strongest person. Lord Krishna is the super consciousness, the supreme intelligence. No matter how much you foster your senses, it will not help you at the time of need, if your senses are not under your control. Intelligence should be fostered. Only intelligence helps us to come out from the trouble. Senses should be used to achieve our ultimate goal in our life by controlling those. Later, Draupati used her husbands to take her revenge by killing Kauravas. We should use and control the senses the way we want to foster our intelligence, not the other way round.

Work and Celebration

Life means a certain span of time. To align with the journey of the life, and to respect its every moment, we need to enjoy and celebrate every action we perform in the moment. No one can bereft of the action at any point of time. What action you are selecting, and how beautifully you are executing, it is merely up to you. The selection of the action on the basis of righteousness and intelligence help you to provide the eternal ecstasy in your life. Human life is not designed to suffer; it is designed to success and celebration. We are suffering, it is because of our wrong selection of the action and our attitudes towards the work we are involved in.

We all need to be associated with some work to fulfill our physical necessities. But, the attitude towards our job is very crucial. The maximum time of our life, we devote to our job. If we are not enjoying our job, means, we are not enjoying the maximum part of our life. The job is not good or bad only worker may be good or bad. The sincere person takes the job and makes it better. You cannot work towards making the betterment of your job until you love and enjoy your job. It has been observed that the persons who love and enjoy their job, they live more healthy life, both physically and mentally.

Thomas Alva Edison, one of the finest scientists the world has ever produced, worked as telegraph operator in his initial days. Where most of the employees were despising night shift job, he accepted the night shift job, which allowed him plenty of time to spend at his two favorite pastimes – reading and experimenting. He was so involved in his job that some of Edison`s inventions were related to telegraphy, including stock ticker.

It does not matter what job you are doing, but it does matter how you are doing it.

The persons who keep carping, groaning, moaning, grumbling  about the job, they never get the quality life, no matter what the position they are holding and what the income they are making. Some person take their job as burden and others take their job as challenge and opportunity to do something valuable in their job. By learning the required skill, you can get into any job or business and can earn the significant money. Beyond merely learning and earning, there is living. The quality living comes by loving and enjoying your job. Take the job what you love, and love the job what you take. Make the celebration at your work place; involve your active job in your celebration of your life. Salute your duty; if you salute your job and duty; you need not to salute anyone. Your job is not a burden, but it is an opportunity, recognizes it, enjoy it, celebrate it, and attract all the happiness in your life.

Success at the Cost of Others …

The definition of success differs from person to person. A generic one --- “Success is to get what one want to get without violation of others right”.  A burglar can claim his burglary as success, if he has executed it without getting apprehended. He can celebrate his success, but his success is the cost of others right. A police investigate the matter and try to apprehend the robber. If he arrests the thief, he gets success. Both police and thief claim the success, but one is constructive for saving someone`s right and other is suppressive to get the success on the violating others right or at the cost of others’ lives. Thief and police both are running and putting the same effort but their intention is quite opposite. Police get the reward on his success and burglar get the retribution on his deeds.

The success got at the cost of others’ lives or by violating others right, sooner or later, culminates at prison or poison.

Success is the result of what you think and do on daily basis. There are no shortcuts to success. The persons who look for success without putting the equivalent effort or without paying the equivalent price for that, these kinds of persons do not mind to go up to any extent and transgress ethics and violate any right. They forget that, sooner or later, they need to pay the price for that. The success comes at the cost of others are not durable. Those successes cannot give you self-esteem, rather it collates arrogance, and it loses the value and respect for the success. At last, you will find that, to what you are calling success, in fact, it was not the success, but was an illusion. The success acquired in your life with your own diligent effort gives you intense content, happiness, respect and above all guilt-free life. All the heroes of the history who got the grand success in their respective professions, they all got those on their honest diligent effort. Patience with your venture and confidence on your skill can guarantee you success you are looking for. One need not to kill or to violate any right to get the place for him.

Do not Beg for Sympathy, Win the Situation

Ups and downs in the life are temporary and transitory. That is the pattern of the life. Even for sustaining our life, we need to inhale and exhale the oxygen. Holding our breath either outside or inside for a long can snatch our life. Similarly, only pleasure or distress in our life make our life unresponsiveness. Losing interest in the life is equivalent to demise. Vicissitude of our life makes our life worth living. Like, day and night has equal importance in our life. We work in day and sleep in the night. If we do not slumber, we become lunatic. And a lunatic life is a burden on the earth. The person who is not aware about this truth, then they enjoy in their good time, but they lose their curiosity of life in their breakdown. They forget that, if God close one path, at the same time, He opens multiple opportunities. The wise recognizes those, and the ignorant keep attached with the memories of the bad days. The person who learns not to be attached either with up time or down time, in sooth; they know how to leave their life stress free.

Majority of people, even they are suffering from small and negligible ailments like, cough, headache etc or confront small setbacks in their life. They will make sure all of their relatives, friends know that. No matter, their relatives are staying close in the same city or not. They will definitely bother them. We know that, what the problems are occurring with us, we are the best person to surmount it by putting our intelligence. Bothering others for the negligence ailments or setbacks, are for seeking the sympathy.

No matter, how much prosperity, knowledge, luxuriant, fame etc. you have, still you are begging for your recognition, begging for sympathy; means you are no better than a street beggar. Difference is --- they are begging for their survival, you are begging for your recognition. By definition, who begs is called beggar.

Do not be a beggar, be a bigger person from inside. The wise and successful person, do not beg for the sympathy on their temporary setbacks, rather they win the situation. Begging for sympathy is the herald of weakness and futile, fighting back with the situation is the insignia of success and strength. Bruce Lee rightly said --- “Do not pray for an easy life. Pray for the strength to endure the difficult one.”

Even a Small Discipline Grant a Grand Success

When performing action, if the attention is only on the end result, then you cannot perform. Just give yourself fully to the task with 100 percent with sincerity and commitment. Someone can instigate you to take action, but taking action or not on some particular situation is your responsibility. You are responsible of your action. Action is itself a result. You should know at what and when and why you should take action. Small-small actions on daily basis become the cause of the success or failure in your life. Small daily discipline, even though seems negligence, can grant you a grand success and advance you in your life. Small negligence on daily basis can be cause of huge failure in your life.

 A student in his early days was poor in his studies, teacher used to scold and deride him for his performance in the class and his study. He got awareness that he was only the responsible of his poor study. At his time electricity was not prevalent in Indian villages. In the absence of lantern, he took a phial and put mark on that. He fills the kerosene oil up to that mark and decided to study in the night until the oil of the phial finishes and phial light extinguishes. He became so determined and focused that his study improved drastically. He started topping all the classes and all the subjects. He developed the ability to write with the both hands at the same time with the same comfort. In college, the examiner did not find any mistake in his answer sheet to cut his mark. He used to give the answer of all 10 questions, however only five questions were asked to answer out of 10 questions. After giving the answer of all 10 questions, he used to put note on the top of the paper “please check any five answers.” After evaluation his answer paper, the examiner wrote on his paper: “the examinee is the greater than examiner”. He got the job and left the job and dedicated his life in freedom struggle for India. After getting the independence, he appointed unanimously the first president of India, and he served the nation for two complete terms. His name is Dr. Rajendra Prasad. His discipline, determination and full responsibility of his life made his place in Indian history.

A Half-Lived Life is Worse than Death

The human life is a beautiful gift of God. He has put the blueprint of all of His qualities in human. He made human a special creature.  Only human being has the capability to claim the divinity, no other creatures.  All the created things have deadline, hence human is also bounded with some particular deadline. One day, everyone has to sacrifice his present body, so, worry or fear of certainty is a sign of ignorant and of an immatured mind. We create something for some special purpose, if the created things is not fulfilling our purpose, then we abuse, and we think of it’s dismantle. Similarly, every human has been created by God in some particular history for some particular purpose.  The person who recognizes his existence on the earth, and purpose to be attained in his life time, he never repents or complains about his life.  The person who does not recognize his existence on the earth and has not indentified his major purpose in his life, that person is not better than animals. Human is better creature, because of his thinking ability, the person who does not use this facility for thinking and indentify his major purpose of his life, and does not put his diligent effort to achieve that, living a half-life. He is living with the body not with the mind, like animals. Those persons can easily be enslaved. Those persons easily get irritated, frustrated, annoyed with small or no reason, because they do not use their brain to think on the situation. They get flaunted with success and get distressed on failure. They live in constant fear. The existence of the fear is the indication of the absence of knowledge and faith. And the absence of the knowledge and faith for the human are the indication of a half-lived life.

The human nature is not to live half-heartedly. Life is a game, some time you get defeat, and some time, in the same game against the same team, you get victory also.  Life also goes like that. Whether you are getting victory or not for any pursuit, your task is to put your 100% effort, not even 99%.  A person gets what he deserves. You have all those things what you deserve, if you want more in your life, enhance your skill and put your hard work to attain those without violating other`s right. First of all, what the blessings you have in present, enjoy those, do not get harassed by seeing others, you can enjoy with those things what you have; thinking or complaining about others and not enjoying what belongs to yours is the deprivation of a full-fledged life. One day, you will realize that what I was thinking and doing was wrong, I would have enjoyed my life at that time. It is not too late; enjoy the beauty of life you got without worrying what others think about you. Do not die half-lived. A half-lived life is not awarded by God even, it is worse than death.

God and Energy

In this world, we can find two categories of people. One is theist and another is atheist. The theists say that the universe, cosmos, creatures everything are created by God, maintained by God, and at last, all created things would be annihilated  by Him.  He is the ultimate creator, maintainer and destroyer. He is pervaded everywhere, everything is enveloped by Him. He is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient. Nothing can be imagined without Him. We all creatures are part of Him, He is dwelling in everybody`s heart. No matter what could be the religion one is following, what the rituals one is following, and in what region, the definition of God remains same. All the authentic scriptures talks about the oneness of God. Might be, there could be different attributes, but, in fact, all people are beckoning to the same one God. God is eternal, has no father or mother, no elder than Him, has no image, never born never deceased, nothing can bound him, He is beyond the perception, He is gender free. God can be imagined in different form and attributes, but, the reality about God remains impervious and undistorted. What the form and attribute, you remember and worship, God responses in that manner.

Another category, the atheists, who do not believe in God, has different perspective about the universe, cosmos, life and whole existence. They believe some super natural power or abundant energy or big-bang theory are behind all the existence. They argue that there is no God; there is abundant energy which is the responsible for creation, maintenance and devastation at last. Science says that the energy neither can be created nor it can be destroyed, it can be changed from one form to another. It means, the energy is eternal. For creation some form of energy is required, to maintain the creation, the different form of energy is required, to destroy the creation, the different form of energy is required. We can see that the energy is one but being used for the different purposes in different forms. The energy is pervaded everywhere. The whole cosmos is full of energy. We are part of the cosmos, means we are part of the energy. Energy is dwelling in everyone without making any distinction. It is up to us how we are using that energy, or not using at all. We can use the same energy for creation and destruction. It is neutral. We all are full of energy, that energy is potential energy, by putting the equivalent effort; we can convert the potential energy into kinetic energy to get the result of the used energy.

We observe that the definition and quality of energy is the same of God. Both the categories, theist and atheist, are indicating the same thing with different terminology and understanding. No one can devoid of God or energy. God is what supernatural power or energy. No one can defile or try to misuse that. It is not something like my energy or your energy, my God or your God. We are referring the same and only one with different understanding and lexicon. The differences are existing among theist, atheist and distinct religions are a social concept; there is no relation of the social stratification with the natural concept. At the annihilation, we all merge with the same God or energy which was our source of creation. Like distinct rivers and rivulets flow from different-different parts of the earth and have distinct name and forms, and ultimately, they all merge with the same ocean by losing their name and form, we also merge with the same source by losing our form and name, and we become the part of the supreme oneness. If we did not understand the real source and destination and the purpose of our existence on the earth and kept focused on the mental concoction and social stratification, we spent our life in darkness.
