Potential of a human

We hear stories of odinary people achieving extraordinary feats.. sometimes through sheer training & sometimes as a response to emergency.... How are miracles achieved..
We need to get out of the comfort zone.. need to have firm belief in the goal we pursue..A fat lazy person can become a fitness freak.. a non -dancer can win dancing shows.. too much work

Cause of belief, faith, religion & vaham

ncertainity & limitation of the conscious mind is the creation of beliefs.. fiaths ..religons.. & Vaham(read it in hindi..cant get exact word for it in English). On the mortal plane when you plan for something..like making your financial plan, you have myriad choices MFs, equity, FD, PPF , futures, real estate etc. You may believe that PPF is the best giving 8 % tax free returns ... add 2-3 % for tax saving part... but get a financial calulator & you know that PPF cant give you the crores.. so you move on to Equity .. but what about the great depression china attacking India.. world war... all these can cripple your economy & your equity can crash to go to the dogs...so u go for a mix.. desiring above average returns...There is a limit beyond which you can not get any information about the futur.. uncertainity creeps in.. So you make beliefs based on intelligence..derived form information.. This Share will give me 20 % return.. PPF will be certain also has a belief that the govet would not fall.. so on .. so forth..

Lets go on a higher plane.. you think beyond life.. you get no ansers.. the ordinary mind will go to refuge to a spirirtual person believing his theory of moksha..recarnation etc.. the mind which is slave of the intelect.. who simply can not have faith .. will find reasons.. think of physics.. astronomy & eventuallym ake beliefs which are backed with higher level of reasoning...big bang theory etc.. Still there is no concrete answer any one could give.. philosophy take the advantage of jumping you from the complicated circuitry inside the grey matter back & forth so much to make it tired & make it loose the link between the various hypothesis ..in plain terms confuse you to make you believe the theory for the moment.. Revisit that after sometime & perhaps you would feel you have been taken for a ride..

To overcome the insecurity triggered by the biological clock ticking inside everyone we consciously or unconsciously look for answers to the truth.. to the uncertainity to the events beyond our control... We get too anxious & feel solace in beliefs in religions in vahams.

Well. its ok to do that because we do not want to make progress in the quest of our truth,, we want to let it be,.. so we say God exists.. he will take care of us.. just like a child is carefree who has the belief deeprooted in him that his parents will take care of everything..

Well, its ok to be like a child to be carefree... why the heck should we bother... but the fact is that uncertainity is the supreme ,, nothing is bigger than the fact that human knowledge & faith are never absolute..

What I get from above thoughts :-

1) Be tolerant of other's beliefs, religions & views. They are ways to fight the universal insecurity about uncertainity.

2) Never make absolute statements..like"I will never do this".."This can never happen" ..." I hate this".. you never know what its in store for you... you should be confident but not blind...

3) Forgive the sinners..as their influence on you is infinitely small & limited..

4) Be child like .. have faith...but be flexible when needed.

It was great writing this piece of blog for the pleasure of extracting the mental juices.. hope u enjoy & contribute...

Raining cats, dogs & trees

I was going to my colleague's place where I had to park my car & then go pooling in his car.

His house is uphill , so I drove my car up enjoying the stormy weather... & then we came back on the same route downhill & saw a huge tree bloocking the road.. that sent shivers down my spine.. I crossed that patch of road just 2 mins back.. had the tree fallen on my car.. my car was gone.. & I would have been definitely not be able to go to office for quite a few days to say the least...

Anyways we went from the narrow patch of road allowed by mother nature.. then bang after 20 metres pole bearing Domino's advert was lying on the road again blocking our way..

We managed to circumvent the huge pole.. & cruise our way.. taking a route having less traffic..

after travelling another 3 kms.. we saw a huge tree giving a big hug to the black shining road & allowing no space for even a pedestrian to pass. Took a Uturn.. went ahead travelling through serpent like zigzag roads again to be blocked by a tree..

Well. finally maaged to reach office in 50 % more time than usual to be able to share the experience through this blog... Hope to have the fry subsided by 10 PM when we have to head back to home...

Week that Wasn't

Title of my blog is inspired from Cyrus's show on CNN-IBN though connoting a different meaning.

This week is not there for me as my baby is away from me.. & I am feeling the hollowness of living alone..

Let it be seems to be the only way.. to be happy... being rigid about some thing.. some resolution some specific way of thinking does not help... so I am letting it be..

As I enter the thirties there is a revelation of things getting mundane.. mid life crisis.. no milestones makes life boring..

So lets set milestones..

First milestone.. to go abroad make money for a flat in a nice green locality.. perhaps in Pune.. or may be Mumbai??

Got to start some trading.. got to get the docs for Insurance.in place.. got to bring the MFS online..

Well..its looking like a to-do list... got to sign the agreement for the flat we booked for investment..

Got to change the rental home..

So life has a lot to keep you busy...

But for happiness there are things like achievement.. excursions.. travel...leisure.. being with the loved ones...

Thats it for now.. Bye..Keep blogging

Prioiritizing

Sometimes I feeel to go deep into some activity.. do it like a hobby .. a passion .. but There are so many thinks that are important that one must do.. where is the time for that passsion..

Imp things are ;- the chores...(paying bills.. driving.. office work), then the documentation in the work.. crafting the appraisal.. , some TV,, reading..
Making a list does not happen due to the vagarities of the work you get... official as well as personal work items are uncertain.. so once u miss a point in list then u feel the unworthiness of the list.. then u get astray...
It seems that there is a power (or intelligence the cumulative effect of 6 senses) within u or in the universe that guides u what to do & this power will tell u only when the time comes.. not in advance..

So many things I want to do..
1) Watch Dostana(Missed the movie.. no speacial reason though)
2) work on financials
3) Open a Demat'

what not

Signing off as the power is saying so or may be the laziness creeping i
Chao ...

Deos a soul exist?

Common belief is that after one dies soul leaves the body... and then perhaps a rebirth happens.

This leads me to thinking that even if we die our identity remains.. When Amar dies.. There would be a Amar's soul... This looks to me as the fscination of mankind to keep it alive even after death..

What I think is the source of life which exists in living beings.. goes out and merges into the common source of life.. There is no rebirth..

There is a common energy source .. after death there is no Mr X's soul..
