Religions have endangered the world

Image
Religion or any particular faith about someone or something is very private matter. It cannot be made public and the base of any sort of public conflicts because one`s religion and faith is different than others. Religion is the medium of the realization of the truth. There could be various mediums of the same realization. One could be a realized person without following any existing religion. He can deduce his own path for the realization. When you get the realization, you will not find any difference between one human being to another. The different religions, faiths, creeds, and communities become very small. It is the namesake only. At the higher level of thought and understanding, it cannot be the cause of any bloodshed and conflicts. But, most of the wars of the world have taken place on the basis of religions. It had started at the inception of the civilization, and it still continues. Surprisingly, we still fight in the name of religion in the modern world of global...

Do not waste your time and energy on conflicts

Image
No matter what you do, there would always be oppositions, contractions, and conflicts. There is no person existed on this earth who lived his life without any oppositions, contractions, and conflicts. Even the most influential person of this world cannot convince and please everyone by his deeds, thoughts, and ideas. People would find something even in the noblest work done by someone and start opposing and criticizing. They would try to prove why they are right in their views and you would try to prove yours. This contention to prove who is right and who is wrong drains massive time and energy. And at last, the outcome remains disappointing. If you involve yourself in persuading your opponent to accept and support your views, ideas, deeds and your way of life, there would be nothing, but struggle and conflicts. The more you try to persuade them, the more contradictions and conflicts occur. You would be crippled. Your natural flow would disrupt. You will find perve...

Does Religion Convert Ideology Into Hypocrisy?

Image
Lord Mahavira sacrificed everything - his kingdom, his family, all the luxury, his clothes, even his hairs in order to attain Kaivalya Gyan, the supreme knowledge. Many people follow the lifestyle of Lord Mahavira. They also want to attain Kaivalya Gyan like him. There is nothing wrong in this attempt. But by simply sacrificing clothes and luxury like Lord Mahavira would not guarantee to attain what Mahavira attained, if you are not comfortable with this lifestyle. That was the Mahavira`s way of attaining the supreme knowledge and getting salvation.  Lord Mahavira, did not copy anyone`s lifestyle. He did what suited for him. For lord Mahavira, that was the comfortable way to spend his life like that. That was his nature. And in his true nature, he attained that supreme knowledge. It does not mean that for attaining the supreme knowledge, you have to sacrifice your clothes, and sleep on the earth and give other many kinds of torture to your physical body. No need to be...

Why Did Hinduism Not Grow Over Time?

Image
Hinduism is the oldest known existing religion of this world. Hinduism did not spread much globally. This religion is majorly practiced in India (79 % people), Nepal and Mauritius.  Notably, the percentage of the population of Hindus in India has decreased over time and the percentages of other religions have increased. Hinduism is the third largest religion by the population of the world (1 Billion, around 14% of the world population). Christianity is the first (2.2 Billion) and Islam is the second (1.6 Billion). Christianity was founded around 2500 years back and Islam 1400 years back. And Hinduism has been existing since time immemorial. This religion has very well-documented scriptures. It has predominantly four Vedas, 18 principal Upanishads, 18 major Puranas, Smiritis, Dharm Shastra, Agmas, and two great epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. It has more scriptures than any other religions of the world. Today, Hinduism exists on this planet due to its well-struct...

Know What You are Following

Image
Lord Buddha, who founded Buddhism, was given poison, a mad elephant was left behind him, and a big rock was rolled to crush him. All the efforts were made to kill him. He was humiliated and disrespected at multiple places and occasions. He was criticized. People attempted to tarnish him from every angle. His companions left him alone in the forest as he did not follow the blind rituals which were suggested to him by them. On the other hand, his followers and Boddh Bhikshu who tell his teachings and stories are respected and revered wherever they go. After the Nirvana of the Buddha, they rifted the Buddhism. The division of the same religion cannot be the teaching of Buddha. But, that happened. It does not matter whether they have realized what Buddha had brought in, still they get more reverence and honor and respect than Buddha himself got at his time. Lord Mahavira was stoned, mad dogs were left behind him, and iron rods were pierced in his ears. He was humiliated and disre...

The Actual Meaning of Shakti Jagran

Image
Among Hindus, during Durga Puja, Ratri Jagran (remain awakened in the night) or Shakti Jagran (Energy Awaking) is very prevalent.  Durga is known as Shakti (Power or energy). She is the consort of Lord Shiva. Shiva is Shav (corpse) without Shakti. Shiva even does not move unless Shakti, in the form of Kali, comes and dances on his body. Shakti is Prakriti and Shiva is Purusha. With the combination of Shiva and Shakti or Prakriti and Purusha, the rhythm of the cosmos is maintained. There is neither without either. We refer women as Prakriti and men as Purusha. This is a misconception. Prakriti and Purusha are not related to women or men. Purusha and Prakriti are in everyone irrespective of men or women. Without the combination of Purusha and Prakriti, the manifestation of human is not possible. We all are souls wrapped by the male or female body. The soul does not have any gender. Our souls get male and female body according to our past Karmas. A soul cannot do anything w...

DO NOT INSULT YOUR EXISTENCE

Image
Nothing exists in this universe without cause and purpose. Your existence too has certain cause and purpose. We bewilder in our life in this time and space because we are not sure about the cause and purpose of our existence. Without understanding the cause and purpose of our existence, we cannot do much in our life despite having immense skill and talent. We put hard work, but still, happiness and satisfaction are out of our reach. The simple reason of our restlessness in our life is that we are not aware of the cause and purpose of our existence. We are nothing more than a part of crowd. In the crowd, no one can maintain the uniqueness of his own existence. You do what crowd does, you talk what crowd talks, you walk on the path which has been designed by crowd for you. You do it because you have never tried yourself to understand your cause and purpose of your existence. You are getting disappointment in your life, you are stressed and tensed in your life, it means, you a...

ACCEPT AND EXPERIENCE YOUR EXISTENCE

Image
You cannot tolerate cheerfulness of others if you are not cheerful. A happy and successful person wants everyone to be happy and successful. He tries to make his surroundings happy and cheerful. An unhappy person wishes everyone to be unhappy. He feels good if someone is unhappy, and feels bad if someone is happy. The bad and distressful news spread faster than good and happy ones. The speed of expansion of any news depends on its demand and recipients. Depressed, unhappy and negative people take more interest in the negative news than the positive one. If you become happy with someone`s failure, definitely, you would be jealous of his success. In other`s happiness, you find your distress and other`s distress you search your happiness. The ultimate nature of human is to be happy. But the nasty habits of humans push them in the mire of unhappiness. Only the unhappy people can dream to be happy. Why to dream, if you are already happy…! You crave for happiness in everyt...

Choose the flower, not the thorn

Image
Everyone likes flowers, its attractive texture, beautiful shape and amazing fragrance. No one likes thorn. Although, both have the same source, the same soil, the same seed, the same gardener, the same nutrients, the same water, the same sun, and the same wind. Both stay together on the same branches. But they are poles apart different in their character and appearance. One is soft and flexible, singing with bees and dancing to the tune of the wind, another is dry and strict. One is offered to gods and another is ignored. One gives the pleasure and another the pain. This world is a garden. We are the different part of that. Living in the same world, some people become flowers and some thorns. Everyone has been provided the same source, the same sky, the same earth, the same oxygen, the same water, the same sun, the same moon. The people who want to be happy and pleasant like a flower, they become flowers and give the pleasure and fragrance to the world and get respect and val...

Three Things You Need To Understand To Be Happy

Image
The people on  this planet are suffering due to three reasons: 1. Physical and mental health 2. Relationship 3. Profession   If any of these is not appropriate, you cannot be happy in this world. If you have everything, but your mental and physical health is not good, you cannot enjoy those. Your entire attention would be your health and treatment. You would not be happy. Your physical and mental health is good, you are in a good profession, you are earning sufficient money, but you have an acrimonious relationship. Your entire focus would be on the harshness of your relationship. You would not be feeling blessed. Your health is good, you have the caring relationships, but you are in a wrong profession, you are not enjoying what you do. You are not going to be happy. A problem in one affects the rest two others. If you have a problem at health end, you cannot pay much attention to your relationship and profession. The same is true for your relat...

Your first responsibility is you

Image
Your first obligation is you, build yourself first, invest in you first. Without building yourself, you cannot build anyone or anything. The second is your family. The third is your society and people around you and so on. Many people say, “I want to build this world.” Can you build something without developing the capabilities for the same? Can you give anything to someone without having those things with you first? Can you help someone with ten thousand dollars without having that much money with you? No, you cannot, even though you want to. Can the sun give the light and heat without generating it first inside him? You can give what you have, the rest is mere gossips. A frustrated person cannot give more than the frustration to anyone, a failure person can give the failure only. Build yourself first before building someone or something. When you become effulgent like the sun, others would automatically get benefit from your light and heat. Can you save another drowning...

Life in Death by Manoj Adhyayi

Image
About Book Our 95% life is automatic. Only 5% life is the conscious life. It means we do not have control over 95% of our life, it is default. More than 95% people live a default life. Their life is not designed by them, but by their family, society, religion and environment. We do not have control over our birth, but we can have control over our own life by expanding our consciousness. Due to the shrink conscious life, we carry many unnecessary things and thoughts in our life which are no way relevant to our existence. The dead things and thoughts have made the human life dead and default. Irrespective of your family background, religion, region, language, degree, you have the capability to convert your generalized life to a privileged one. Many people have done it, and it is quite possible for you as well. Your life is your responsibility. And you cannot carry the responsibility of your life without understanding it. The human mind does not act on something which it does...
