Discovery

-

       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. The father replied with a smile to his son that "Take time dearly so that you feel really hungry". 

      Both of them started their journey again. The same instance happened during the second and third part of his journey and the father was replying the same to his son with a smile full of new teaching. When they were both near to the destination the son braked down and opened the box to eat the bread which he called cold and hard. As soon as this happened the father turned back and asked the son how is the bread? The son was so busy eating, that he could only speak out "yummy! yummy !.

     Certainly, humans have to return to the way of "Truth" to discover SELF and to attain PEACE. This only will make his life worth living.

Tallest Tree on Earth

-

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

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...

  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।
