Subliminal thoughts

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...

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 perso...

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...

Have you ever been a mere shadow of someone? Have you ever tried to imitate someone in your life? Trying to adapt their values and mannerisms in life? Apart from you Gurus and parents whom have you chosen as your 'role-model'. Its not about whomsoever it is, but imitation is a dangerous thing. Imitation limits you very badly. It spoils you. It leaves a bad impression of you on others. We subconsciously imitate many people. This fact is really unknown to us. Record your actions once and try to observe yourself closely. Then you may find yourself in a way behaving like your mentor. Having role-models is fine but blindly following them is not. Be a leader not a follower. The good things that a person does can be adapted into your own life but not imitated. This is the point where I disagree with Gandhi. He said 'My Life is My Message' what did he actually mean by that? His life is his own to live. He cannot just simply impose it on others which he did as I reckon. Takin...

Before judging others, try to judge yourself and find out how miserably you will fail. Judging someone with your own standards is not fair. If you don't know their standards then how can you judge? Only god can look down on people. A proper judge would be the one who has realized herself/himself. Now, the judges in the court will have the book of law as their standard. But to judge yourself, there is no such book. Your own experiences measure you, your actions define you. If you are mentally and intellectually strong enough to measure yourself in the light of your own experiences that would be wonderful! People often say "forget the past and move on". I'd like to say forget the emotions that are attached with the past and not the experiences. Learn your lessons and leave it at that. Experience is your greatest Guru. You will have to judge yourself till the point it becomes harmful for you and the others around you! That is how you can draw the line between reality ...

Down the rabbit hole she goes, But she is no rabbit. In her world she moves Coming upon that is her habit. She talks to herself! "what a lovely day" Beyond the scope of herself Comes the man to be gay! Her world was full of flowers, But the man hated nature! He took away all her colours And gave her too much torture. Let this be said loud and clear: In the hole she is right and he is wrong. Where should they be placed to bear, The harmonious whispers too strong.     

The main concern in this article is about giving and taking. I hope all of you are aware of this concept. It’s not just in the matter of respect, it is also in thought. Again I would like to emphasis the fact that minds are connected. So, we can see a turbulent flow of thoughts to and fro your mind and others’. Parents should be the first and foremost people to understand this. Even when a child is inside the mother’s womb, the child can sense the mother’s feelings. If someone shouts at the mother, when the baby hears that person’s voice after birth, he/she will definitely cry. It’s not about the intellect, but about the mind. The key is to concentrate on the present. Pondering upon the past and worrying about the future brings in complications to life. Parents should never advise their children because advises will create an opposite impression on anyone’s mind. Instead they should be a role model for the kids and they should show them how to live righteously. Children learn by ...
