MY THOUGHTS AND IDEAS...

Does luck exist?And even if it does can our rational mind let it to be the reason behind our success and failure?Last night we had a little discussion about luck.I am of the view that luck doesn't exist at all and all results depend on our actions and actions alone.In short luck is nothing but  a little mental fabrication.The opposite view was that even if we assume karma to be the reason behind success and failure,there is still an element of doubt when thinking of results and that doubt is eliminated by introducing the variable of luck. Our way of thinking,beliefs and our general behavior is heavily influenced in the type of environment we live in.By environment I mean religious environment.It is pretty natural for a common human to believe what his ancestors believed because even today with all the advancement in civilization,instruction is considered the best way to impart knowledge from generation to generation and until we come up with something better we have to bear it.A ...

We live in a world which demands action at every bit.Right from the time we get up in the morning there is a list full of 'to do' activities and we are of course expected to fulfil those in order to 'live'.But activity  is not that vague kind of thing.We all see a lot of activity around us in fact we only see activity around us!Who has seen inactivity?I haven't till now.So it is pretty natural for us to be bent towards activity but this is not about activity.I'd rather like to explore re-activity.Yes the reaction we immediately put forward whenever we see some favourable/non favourable activity. I love analysing things both in their minute as well as in their manifest form.I believe this is a way to realize the truth.So if I say reactivity I'd like to explore both minute as well as vast implications of our reactivity to outside action.There are only three kind of possible activities which require a reaction from us: Favourable activity arousing appreciation...

The change I am boasting about these days,could until last week, be only be observed by me as my public interaction was negligible if not nil.But now with the start of a new semester,I have been meeting people but with a new and different attitude.I do not have any problems as such with the people but of course it has developed over a long period of time and this change has only strengthened it.Now thinking about the nature of goodness and evil I often come across contrasting situations where it is almost impossible to apply the judgement.I think,at that level, a faith is necessary.A faith in your beliefs or religion would suffice.These days have been pretty light compared to previous time an I can't stop thanking my recent shift of focus towards myself.I have been guided by thoughts of one of the most influential guides this world has ever seen and sometimes I too get amazed at how he explained to cope with even the most minute circumstances in life. It feels like a burden is off...

It has really been a very interesting first week here at the college after the break.I have applied my new way of thinking to my public life without much difficulties and I’m really going strong in consolidating it.One thing is worth mentioning and that it my concentration level has increased manifold.Earlier it’d be nearly impossible to stay at the library for more than 30 minutes at a go and today it has been more than three hours and I don’t feel the need to go out of here.I have nearly finished a philosophical book and now as I’m typing this I feel at ease. But this is really a very huge thing keeping my standards in view.From being a rogue human to being able to walk on the path leading to sincerity it has really been a marvellous change.Now a few things come into my mind when I contemplate this change and I’d like to mention them. First of all the change I’m talking about is not a result of something which was done extensively as the input and resulted in a awesome output.It i...

Sometimes we feel superior to others but the reality is  we are being fooled by our delusion the moment we think that we know a lot.Most of the time I used to think I committed some mistakes which I should not have and usually I got buried under the weight of that guilt.But now I’ve realized or I should say found a way to rise above it.Well,all of us commit mistakes ,It’s not a big thing to commit mistakes but the real problem starts with the analysis.We always have a perception of ourselves as the “most perfect-never wrong” kind of person so it seems unbelievable to recognize the mistake done by us!And the reaction it usually comes out in two ways:The extrovert believes he is the perfect one and always blames the others including persons,events,objects and even animals for the mistakes done by him.The introvert person is always looking deep within so he cant believe it was him who did the mistake and often sinks in depression.I’m the introvert kind of guy.Both of these reactions ...

I am all by myself at the present.I don’t have a teacher to help me and all I can take guidance from is a few books which I’ve downloaded over the time.But that is definitely not important as the mind control is to be learnt and practised all by oneself if best results are expected. Coming on to my life I after studying a few books got pretty interested in this and believe me it is proving to be a very enjoyable experience.Reading your own mind is a necessary thing to do if we have to succeed here and beyond as it gives an insight into our own way of thinking and also guides our consciousness to the present.As I have learnt my mind has only three kind of processes,it may be different for others.Anyways these are: Memories of the past Expectations about the future Fantasies. And all these processes are interlinked a lot of times.Sometimes it occurs as a chain and it really is amazing to note how the processes interchange.And as usual these processes are coloured by feelings which ...

Its around midnight here and as i’m browsing news channels on my TV,i see almost every channel showing some type of crime report or other.Right from the ‘sansani’,guy to the ‘vaardat’ guy every one is shouting and analysing the heinous crimes committed on a daily basis.Then i pause for some time and think it over.Is it so?Has crime manifested and penetrated so deep in the society that even a peaceful guy can’t escape from it?Sadly the answer comes out to be true. BEING BAD IS THE NEW GOOD Yes it is true.In these times opinions are made  by watching movies,TV shows and reading filth on the internet.The entire entertainment industry is busy showing the good effects of being bad.Whether it is being a corrupt cop or an international thief Bollywood is leaving no stone unturned in emphasizing the benefits of being bad.The television is filled with those never ending ‘saas-bahu’ serials which act like a ‘how to destroy the peace of your family ‘ kind of guide.Each one of them.The...
