The overview effect..!!

From last few weeks there was a lot of news on force transformation of religion change, and I happened to read a lot of stuff related to that. So I am just sharing some of my thoughts on that.

I was just wondering, if I asked someone who is enjoying his middle class lifestyle and very normal life, what is religion to him/her? And you expect answer is to offer prayer in the morning, worshiping God, going to the temple often, and do the rituals whenever required like on festivals and big occasions. But than If you ask them  “does he/she know exactly what religion is?” or “Is it really matter that you should know that deep about religion?” I think hardly anybody knows that much in detail or they have spent time doing detail study. So, It seems to me more like passing the parcel. One will tell to others and those others will tell to many others without knowing what’s exactly right or wrong? There is no listed 10 points agenda that for do's and don'ts for any religion from the origin of religion. But with time, individual's interpretation has created hundred’s of points for dos and don’ts.

 So if we don’t know that much details about religion, than why there is religion change and religion transformation? In doing so, what are we achieving with this? The person who has agreed to change, they don’t know any religion and don’t want to know. They just want to look after the immediate benefits they are getting from this transformation. Also, their sole purpose is trying to beat their biggest problem i.e. poverty using this. Also, those who are offering transformation, just trying to solve their selfish motive of increasing strength of their religion. It is more like selfish motive for both the parties, which got mutual agreement. Of course, this is just naïve argument to those who are busy doing transformation and for those who are accepting religion change.

        Just want to take conversation in different direction; there are some individuals whose minds are free from all of this. So the point is at what level or condition your mind that goes beyond all such limitation?  Earlier, I used to believe that education or money (which open many sources) can bring awareness, but it has proved me wrong, as I have seen many examples. May be than if the person’s basic necessity has been satisfied, it will avoid such religion related trap, but even that was turned out to be wrong. It was so hard to tell that any particular events/feelings, which can push your mind out of such thinking paradigm. 

      But when I watched this video (click here to watch video), I believe that this is something can help to open up individual’s mindset free from such religion oriented trap. This video about astronaut’s feelings while looking at earth from space, it was totally mesmerising and eye opener for everyone, when you listen to their feelings and experiences from the space. They called this feelings or effect as “the overview effect”. Also In ancient literature they described it as Savikalpa Samadhi – “That means that you see things as you see them with your eyes, but you experience them emotionally and viscerally, as with ecstasy, and a sense of total unity and oneness.” From the space, while looking at earth, there are no religion boundaries which differentiate people or earth based on religion. Those individuals who has reached to such feelings and mindset on earth, they are free from such religion trap.  I think if every individual can understand such feelings and experiences, they can come out of such unnecessary forcing dogmas of religions and be unite towards only one religion called humanity. Our life span is very limited and we all need to spend it after something that is more worthy.

PS: views are very much personal.!!

A Mirror spoke..!!

Time is running with its indecent pace, leaving all behind – the memories, happiness, regrets and sorrows. Only things have not changed in your mind; you still waiting in that particular moment, with hope and fear in your heart.

The moment has passed, the totem has stopped, and it’s left with the dust on your floor of your mind. Just wipe it off with a hard feeling and keep your mind clean. Let this dawn come up with new beginning and new happening.

Everything is planned here, and we are just part of this drama. In this drama of life, artists have to be really artificial, only viewers get a chance to choose.

Choose that someday you don’t feel like, you have not lived your life fully. You haven’t done what you supposed to do – “Why this mirror is telling so whitening truth? How does he know all my denial facts? “

Too much contemplation over life has started reflecting in my writing as well…!!!

we only decide the level of happiness...

“Nothing is important than the happiness at the heart level. “

Life will pass through many ups and downs but only few can feel the true happiness (which I couldn’t describe it right now). Somehow, I believe that as person evolves they set the standard for the exact meaning of their happiness or satisfaction. This might attract an indirect problem for us. So, if you taste some particular food-dish with its very excellent taste or in a particular way, you hardly continue with the half better taste of it. In direct language, if you have ever felt happiness, you will never compromise to match that standard. You keep on searching for the exact match for the very same happiness. On top of that, whatever pursuit happens on your front, it holds very negligible meaning to you if that was not matching to the require standard. In a way, you are becoming an addictive to that and you keep on remembering the same state and situations which has made you happy in the past. You will put them all into category of "not up to the mark". If we realize here, indirectly we are setting the standards for the happiness and become addictive to it.

 Thoughts passed through very dense network which we hold in our mind and question to me, does this happiness hold that much value that you are putting everything in the game? Is it that much precious, invaluable and crave of happiness is such an unavoidable or it has to match the exact pattern which you have felt in the past?

whatever it will be... will be..!!!

Wind was flowing, thoughts were blowing,
Mind was poaching, heart was weeping,
Sitting atop mountain, looking at sunset,
Attempted to draw picture of my future,
No clarity, no omens, just full of mystery,
And nothing came as concrete as this mountain..!!!

Looking at sky, questioning the almighty,
What is my future?
Where is my life heading?
Give me chance to see my life designed by you,
Through the window of intuitions and senses;

Bewildered, discouraged and whispering
Prayers of hope headed towards my home,
Whatever it will be …will be...!!!

Bored with own character-behavior-personality

Thought provoked me during the morning meditation session and made me write on this.

We easily get bored with our work, life, people/relatives/friends, hobbies and activities in few days or may be in few years. Is that any time happened that we have bored now with our personality or behavior? “Just want to clarify that getting bore does not mean you started disliking our own self, but just want to try different stuff. It is also not that we are not happy what we are.” So, it means that any time it has happened that I have just bored now being so rude with others, I have bored now being angry all the time or sad all the time. I have bored now being so kind all the time, I have bored now being so emotional all the time, I have just got bored now being follower all the time, I have bored now being so caring person all the time, I have bored being so perfect and meticulous all the time, etc, etc...And the list goes on.

Other side, I think we never get bored with our personality or we never get a chance to get bore with it. Because surrounding environment do not allow us to change it. It keeps reminding us about the older things and we keep on retaining it for life long, years on years. Of course, the passing time and a shift in responsibilities will definitely change our character/behavior/personality, but this is not just because of we have bored now and you changed it. It’s a gradual, necessary and situational change.

May be its difficult or may be its just impossible to change it when you bored with it?

I think , I should experiment such things someday, because I felt really bored now.

Why only Money for Donation..

Why do they only ask Money as Donation? Or why do beggars always beg for Money? Money is just a medium of exchanging your needy things. There are many other things which are possibly to be donated and there are hundreds out there in a need of that. Like books, knowledge, your time and the last things is usage of your mind or your ideas (which put you in position to donate other things). Why can't we donate our senses (of course, only if it is alive) for few days to someone? At least he or she can improve using those senses and will make his or her life better. That is the actual things which we need to pass on. Awareness and alive senses are the need for everyone.

There is a reception on the other side is equally matters. If you want to pass on something but the reception is not tuned, it is just a waste of effort. That leads to me to conclude that we need to provide the basic things to the person first and then pass on awareness. Without food, shelter and clothes, you can't even teach simple things to someone. Those untuned person will never even listen to you and it looks them as if it is very complicated. That is great saying that “A hungry stomach cannot hear”. For Food, shelter and clothes, you need money. Because of that only passing money to this needy people as donation is required. After the person is at sufficient stable stage, they start accepting knowledge and accept those awareness fundas. Later, if the person is lucky enough, he explores and try to understand the spirituality concepts to make life even much better.

Assumption & Belief

Practical experience and incidents some times reinforce our assumptions and we start considering them as our belief or as our strong feeling. After that any similar incident happened we use the same learning and become more cautious.

Here, I just try to make out one point that we should keep our mind open to change the assumption which we already converted into belief. Because sometime our assumption are wrong and co-incidently some situation made us to convert them into belief in the past. But, its era of constant change.Keeplooking and keep investigating. Every other thing in this world is different in different situation. Before generalizing anything or applying our experienced notions, just check that weather its applicable in this situation or not. Don’t hesitate in changing your own belief or don’t feel insecure if something goes wrong against your own firm belief. Just accept it. It takes very deep analysis and thinking to generalize something and apply it to every situation.We can't generalize so easily.

what is true Identity?

Few days back, I attended a lecture on Cosmos and the Universe. One of the most important things which I observed during lecture was that every scientific name which Professor was explaining was given on the basis of characteristic and behaviour of things. So the name itself was telling a very good story around it.

Suddenly I got (or rather caught) a thought, why can’t we give a name to human beings on the basis of their behaviour/nature or on their personality. It will surely be helpful for everyone to understand the other person just by knowing the name. Of course, it will difficult if there are multiple people with same personality but we can manage it by attaching the number at the last. Also we need to wait till the person grow up and we recognize his/her parameters.

I was just thinking what would be my name in that case. :) :) (Let's not discuss !!)

Every idea has one or two points which always resist you in implementation. (I seriously hate them…!!) Here in this case, what if the person changes his personality or basic nature over a period of time? Who will judge this? Also, the person needs to be agreed on his/her changes. I have seen that people gradually change with very little slope. So they don’t recognize the change very easily. If somebody tells them that you have changed, then they always ready with the answer, “I was like that only earlier” – even if the change is negative to positive.

So, I have no choice left before declaring my idea is actually fall under flop category. We can’t use above naming convention for mass of people where people are changing at every moment but very gradually.

However, our UID project will definitely help us as we are identifying the people based on number – a just 12 digit number. It is very long to remember, isn’t it?

I hope this complex 12 digit numbers will help us in true identification. As we all are holding many identities to recognize one individual person : Ration Card identity, Vote identity card, Passport, PAN Card, Driving licence, Phone number, Roll number in school, Employee No in Office, Bank account number in Bank and now this list has one more, a new Unique Identity Number.

It does not matter even if the person change his/her personality, behaviour or nature over a period of time. You will only be recognized based on this UID (Unique Identity Number). (At least in this life.)

I am very happy and waiting for rollout of UID all across my country.

when we look back..!!!

It happens that when we look back on our life's incidents, sometime they made us laugh because it looks now to us as a stupidity and feel happy too. But at the time of incidents we are so into it that we don't know that we are doing stupidity...!!!

But now we are laghing on it and remembering them as happy event of life. May be because, we have grown upto new level and maximize our awareness about things. Infact we have progressed and matured in our life so that treat everything with their exact/due weightage.

Interesting..!! we laugh on our past life as if it is our stupidity.. and in present we feel that we have progressed ..... +ve thinking.. !!! :):)

twist and turns..!!!

Sometimes, life takes different turns and twists. As our human nature, we try to predict/calculate those turns or prepare plan to ready for such turns or twist which we can imagine. But sometimes, these turns/twists are beyond our imagination.... :)

clarifications..!!!

Darkness is always considered to be a part of mystery and light is considered as a source for awareness.

Actually, there is no term called darkness. It is just an absence of light. There are many such things which you can relate like this and define on the basis of absence of some substance.

Similarly, there is nothing called undue attachment. It is just an absence of due attachment. You can’t detach yourself from some thoughts or events. You just have to attach yourself to the right source, so that rest of the things will fall in bucket of due attachment. The right source is nothing but a divine.

Anonymous .. Contd...!!!

My life is a very small part to understand his logic. On top of that, I am trying totally reverse way to derive that equation.
Ofcourse, some time that equation fits in our input-output thinking. So we think that we have got the equations. But the same equation will not fit in many other conditions.

Our mind and Processors..!!!

Processor has wonderful mechanism which I came to know few days back.

Processor never know which is the right path in the code, so it picks up any one of the option (path) and go till it decides that this is wrong path. After that it starts moving on to the right path. At same time it stores selection of the wrong path as information. Processor has wasted almost 20-22 execution cycles behind that wrong path but now it’s on the right path. But, next time when the processor is standing at options to decide, it predicts as per the information it has and try to minimize its own mistakes of selection.

It seems that it is very similar to how our mind works….!!

Find what you love to do...!!!

How do you find what you love to do ..?

As per my opinion the most difficult question to answer. People spent out their whole life in finding the answer, if they are looking for it. But once you get the answer you need to protect it. You should not change your opinion by just getting an initial failure on it or may be due to others opinion on it. You should have tremendous amount of faith in it.

Another way of finding what you love to do, if you love that thing you will not think at all about its failure. You will keep finding the new ways to do the same thing again and again even if you are failing at every corner. You will have internal faith for it. You will not regret on your efforts if it fails at one point in time, because you love what you do.

If you love to do something, you will never feel competition from other people. You never look at it as competition at all. You will keep enhancing it to better and better.

The most important thing is "Find what you love to do".

Keep looking..!! You will definitely find some day.

Don't settle till you find what you love to do..!!!

Day by day, Life is becoming object oriented...!!!

A Free WILL concept..!!

It is easy to distinguish between a human and an animal. An animal who always works on instincts basis whereas humans have power to think and they gifted with the free Will. Humans take decisions by using their free will power. Actually, the will power has no shape. We give it a shape of either positiveness or negativeness. Humans can either set examples by using this gift in the right direction or can join the group of animals though they are gifted. But this human animal continue to stay with the humans only. Thank GOD..!!!

Independence & Individualism

Independence and Individualism are always in a pair. If you are seeking Individualism then you need a true independence. So that you can come out as Individual rather being an instance of already existing living objects. On the other side, true independence can achieved by being an Individual. Achieving independence is difficult because we all are inter-dependent on each other some or the other way. However, being in inter-dependence state, you can still achieve Individualism and those who can reach that level are actually a true Individual.

Independence for most of us is to have freedom to make our own choices. True Independence includes a "freedom of not to choose" as well. Many times it happens that we don’t have choice of not to choose and we are going with tide. And we still feel that we are independent and made our own choice.

Change is inevitable..!!

Someone has truly said,

God grant me

the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference....
