Tallest Tree on Earth

Image
Coast redwood trees are the tallest trees on the planet. They can grow to 300 feet high or more.  The interesting thing about the redwood tree is its root system. Their roots are relatively shallow. There is no tap root to anchor them deep into the earth. The roots only go down 6-12 feet, and yet, these trees rarely fall over.  It is surprising to know that the root system of a redwood tree is intertwined with the other redwood trees, literally holding each other up. The trees grow very close together and are dependent on each other for nutrients, as well.   Here's a great life lesson that despite our different identity we are all connected at the root level (@soul). And this is the real power that we together can encounter the toughest situations and continue to grow with harmony. Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way. ~ Swami Vivekananda

  सभी शक्तियां  सभी शुद्धता  सभी महानता  - सब कुछ आत्मा में है। ~ स्वामी विवेकानंद  आनंद और शांति की खोज मानव को सदा ही रही है ।  मनुष्य श्रेष्ठ जीवन जीना चाहता है तो उसे पुनः वही करना होगा जो उसके पूर्वजों ने किया था,   अपने मूल अस्तित्व से जुड़ना । प्रकृति कि हर एक चीज केवल अपने स्रोत से जुड़कर ही स्थिर हो सकती है।  अहंकार  का त्याग कर हम अपनी इसी खोज की तरफ बड़े। तभी हम अपने जीवन को सार्थक कर पाएंगे।  श्री महर्षि रमन ने कहा है "He who thinks he is the DOER is also the SUFFERER"  और इसका केवल एक ही समाधान है जब हम अपने आत्मतत्व को शरीर से  पृथक देख लेंगे, जैसे स्वामी विवेकानंद को उनके गुरु श्री रामकृष्ण परमहंस ने दिखाया था।  

Mindfullness

 If you think of disaster then you will surely get it.  ~Swami Vivekananda A Feeling or A Thought is the real cause... For example,  "Trust brings Trust" , "Faith brings Faith" , same with other feelings too. We should be mindful of what we think and with what we feed our senses because this will going to make our character after all.  

Uninstalling Negativity

Image
Mind is a bundle of thoughts and it continues to take inputs from the senses of our body. A fact exists in the human machine that it could only sustain a fixed amount of thoughts in our regulars actions and our results are directly proportional to the level of the thoughts that we carry in our cache memory just like computer cache memory.  Life provides direct and indirect teachings. Hidden ones are difficult to interpret as they signify a lot to the real core of our existence. Let us get simple, If someone wants to reserve a seat to travel to a particular destination by train then we well know the fact that seats are limited and if they are full then we will not get a reservation.  Similarly, it's we who feed our senses with the environment including what we read, whom we follow, what we see, which friend circle we relish, etc. because all this directly adds experiences and  Thought Packets  to our fixed mind capacity. If we are dedicated to positive and great ideas...

ACHARYA

During the  Vedic era , there were  Gurukuls  in which the Acharya's used to teach their shishyas in a very  intelligent  and  innovative way . According to a story...  One day a few students objected to the slow and inefficient physical work by one of the students named Vasi. The Acharya was known to the fact, but he wanted to give time to Vasi to developmental and physical capabilities. But as the issue was raising many times the Acharya took a different step. Acharya asked Vasi to do his daily task after giving time to  push the boulder  which was lying near the foothills, a half-mile away from the gurukul. Vasi was one of the  obedient shishya  of the gurukul, so he started to do the task assigned by the Acharya the next day.  Few  days  went by but the boulder didn't move an inch. But Vasi continued to carry out his task. After  a month  his mind started raising questions over the command of Acharya. No...

Discovery

Image
         Looking up the live sessions and the spiritual history of India one can surely say that " Man is born to discover himself and not just on inventing thing in the material world ".       I still remember the words from one of the Vedic text that  "Material inventions are assistive to man's journey of life but they are not the destiny and those who consider them so, they will lament at the end" .        But just take things logically for the time as man has lost many virtues in the course to understand great Vedas.     Once a father and a son were traveling for a journey to their hometown. They had few pieces of bread with them which were made last night for their morning journey. At the end of the first phase of their journey, the son asked his father for some rest and a loaf of bread to get energized. The father served the bread to him but the son denied it as it was cold and a bit hard. Th...

शक्ति ही जीवन है

केस I : ड्राइविंग कौशल के बारे में अनजान होने पर एक व्यक्ति को कार चलाने से डर लगता है। केस II : एक छात्र एक परीक्षा के दौरान और परिणाम के  लिए  डरता है। केस III : जब किसी व्यक्ति को कार्य स्थल पर कोई कार्य प्रदान किया जाता है तो वह इसके परिणाम के लिए डर महसूस करता है क्योंकि यह उसकी वेतन वृद्धि को प्रभावित कर सकता है। ..... जीवन कि  सूची लंबी है, लेकिन सभी स्थितियों  का मूल एक है ... " डर"   यदि हम पहले मामले पर गौर करें तो हम पाएंगे कि वह व्यक्ति केवल इसलिए भयभीत है क्योंकि उसके पास ड्राइविंग कौशल का कोई अभ्यास नहीं है या हम कह सकते हैं कि उसके मस्तिष्क को ड्राइविंग कौशल के बारे में कोई जानकारी नहीं है।  यदि हम छात्रों से संबंधित भय की समस्या को देखते हैं तो हम पाएंगे कि वह केवल तभी डरता है जब वह अपने प्रयासों की तुलना उस प्रतिशत( percentage ) से करता है जो...  वह  ...चाहता है। इसी तरह केस III मे व्यक्ति का ध्यान काम के समतुल्य धन की ओर होता है जबकि उसे कार्य को कुशल तरीके से करना चाहिए क्योंकि यह उसके कौशल में इजाफा...
