Superhumans.

Nietzsche's description on superman stuck me with wonder initially. It was with almost perfection that he described the status of such men of power. The feminists would have an argument on this view because it is super 'men' and not women. That is why I have given the title as 'superhumans' and not just supermen. Nietzsche's idea is that men can attain a status way above the so called ordinary men. This is a very high state indeed but according to his principle these men are born with such qualities. People who are born as 'ordinary' also can attain this status through incessant work. I shall give some of my own example for such human beings. We say Sachin Tendulkar is the god of cricket in India. Indeed he is a god of cricket. Some other examples would be Charlie Chaplin as god of comedy and Marlon Brando as god of acting. But if you take a closer look, there are others too who will fall into this category.

Swami Vivekananda was a very talented person. He too is a god. No living human being can put him inside a framework. Is he just a saint? No, he is much more. Is he just a humanitarian? No. Then what is he? I have deliberately used the present tense to indicate that Swami Vivekananda is immortal. So is Charlie Chaplin. They live inside our hearts. But the most amazing fact about the people who have transgressed their bodies like Swami Vivekananda is that they can come back to earth when they please. According to him, he has done the work which will last for five hundred years and then he retired and his body passed on. But his spirit is still alive in our hearts. This is how they become Super men. To talk about women, Jhansi Ki Rani, is an epitome of such people and also Mother Teresa.

All these people except for Sachin Tendulkar have passed on but they are with us in spirit even now. This gives them that elevated status among us, humans. Swami Vivekananda was a complete human being. The things that he did during his lifetime is unbelievable. We now hear stories about him which are beyond our comprehension. We, the humans are blessed not sinned to have gotten a human life. Make the most of it while you are alive as the saying goes "make hay while the sun shines". Discover your self and be proud of who you are.

Regards!

Imagination.

The world, we imagine it to be real. But we need strong imagination to thrive on. Imagination is the linchpin of success. People who have strong imagination tend to be successful in their lives. Take up an idea and make that idea your whole life[sic.]. The power of the mind is so intense that your idea, if imagined to be very strong will be manifested in some form or the other. People say don't be selfish, but selfishness to an extend is needed in the present world. If you become successful, share it, because you cannot claim to have reached heights only by yourself. Have gratitude and supply for the needy. If you do good, good will always have a way of coming back to you. It might not be from the same person but from a different person in a different form it will always find you. A pure mind devoid of all negativity will do only good things. That is real beauty. External appearance may define a person to an extent but inside matters the most. If you can be good and do good at t

Supernatural

I have just finished watching "The Conjuring" and they claim it to be a true story. I don't want to appear skeptical and say that its not. It would be a total disrespect for the efforts of the exorcists both abroad and inside the country. So that leaves us with a question. Does God and the devil exist? No would be the answer. I am not being self contradictory by making such a statement. 'Isha Vasyam Idam Sarvam' This is the very first verse of The Ishavasya Upanishad, which means cover up the whole universe in terms of GOD. So the whole world becomes god and even the devil will be god. If you completely understand this concept, then its unnecessary to read all the scriptures, but sadly this cannot be explained more that this as it is to be experienced and not told, which is impossible. Then what are these supernatural occurrences?  I wouldn't say that it is god, indeed it is the devil. But one thing that we must understand is the power of our minds. The mi

Pirates of The Caribbean

The idea of the character named Jack Sparrow got into me the moment I watched him on the screen. All the five movies in my opinion are top notch. In light of the recently released  movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales", I would like to point out a few things which I noticed. This tale gives us the details on how Jack Sparrow became "Captain" Jack Sparrow. The moment he was conferred upon with this title, we can see his amazing 'spontaneous plans' in action. I use this term to indicate that his maneuvers are a mixture of both luck and grace. The idea behind jack's character to me, seems as though they are trying to say that, even a really skilled man can be given such a derogatory term as that of a pirate. But Jack always is "drunk, with a smile on his face". The film takes up multiple issues like religion, role of science, contemporary English society, Gender and so on. This film critiques the religion for not accepting
