LIFE IS SHORT, isn't it?

I heard one person saying that life is short. So, why not smoke and booze? I also saw people always running towards tea stalls throughout the day. They seem to be very busy. But, what is the use?

Of course, life is short. So, why can’t it be utilized in more and more constructive way? Why can’t these people question themselves “What am I going to get from this?” before wasting life on such stupid things. Yes, we all will die one day. But, think what you are going to leave behind.

Why can’t we take this same excuse to achieve 1st rank at least distinction if you are a student, to donate if you are rich, to serve if you have energy, to teach if you have enough capability, to sow seeds of change if you have time?

Come on, let us have SANKALPA (Resolve) to quit all these bad hobbits and use this very life to achieve something. Of course, this will be a great honor to our mother. Tell me who doesn’t want to honor their mother? Let us remember that so many lives are connected with our life. So, let us save ours and others as well. Let us lit the candle of aspiration for betterment of our lives.

Some people also say that more discipline brings descends. I don’t agree with this. That pain would be very temporary. It is nothing in terms of the fruits that discipline reaps.

Let me tell a small story. There were 3 friends and 1st guy said to rest of them that life is short and we don’t get this opportunity again. So, let us smoke and booze. This boy’s words made rest of the two boys think a lot. Time has made them to depart each other. After some years 3 of them meet and 2 of the boys say thanks to the 1st boy. 2nd boy said that because of 1st boys words he had became an IAS officer. 3rd boy said that because of 1st boys words he had became yoga teacher. That time the 1st boy realized that he had invested his time and efforts on wrong tings. But the universal truth is “LIFE IS AN ART OF DRAWING WITHOUT AN ERASER”. Nevertheless, I believe that you can change your mistakes in that art to a bigger and beautiful picture if you have strong SANKALPA.

Good Bye Seychelles

(5th September, 2012) The affair with Seychelles (Known as paradise) came to an end. Reached my apartment after finishing work at 8PM and wrote a resignation letter 2nd time (I'll write more in future posts) and went to bed. (6th September, 2012) Today, the first thing I've done at my work was submission of my resignation saying today was my last day at work. I always wanted to have such freedom at any cost. The cost I've paid this time was hurting my team mates who are so close to my heart. Sorry my dear buddies, I had to take a serious decision and I took it. I'm sure you all will appreciate what I'm going to do hereafter. Everyone of you made me feel so special. In fact, you all are special. I really would like to hear from you achieving more. When I joined this resort around 2 years ago, felt saying hello with a smile to every person who comes across appeared to be a distraction. I wanted to be with me more while walking or eating. However, starte...

Is your Dad bad?

Have you ever been asked,  "Is your Dad bad?" Well, let's unpack that. Do you stand by idly while every Tom, Dick, and Harry insults him without cause? Do you allow others to exploit him? Is it fair to assume that someone labeled as "bad" is incapable of any good deeds? Speaking up for a father who may have made mistakes doesn't necessarily equate to love and affection. It's about navigating complex emotions and setting boundaries to protect oneself from toxicity. Personally, I have no desire to return to a turbulent existence devoid of both love and hatred. In that state of neutrality, it becomes clearer to distinguish between good and bad. I often find myself pondering the selfishness of humanity. When people are in need, they turn a blind eye to flaws and faults. But as soon as the need disappears, they're quick to compile a laundry list of wrongdoings. Ultimately, managing priorities isn't within everyone's capabilities. The b...

WHAT IS YOGA FOR YOU?

For me yoga isn’t different from my life in total and as well as in pieces. I never wish to preach without practice. I can’t compromise in it. Since, I’ve started practicing yoga lot of transformation happened. From suppression to transcendence. Being very regular to sadhana (Practice). Being at ease all the time. What is yoga for me? Yoga is a hobby for me. It is a trance in which I feel completely overwhelming. It is a solace to all my psychic wounds. Yoga is like mamma’s lap for me. Whenever there are any issues bothering me, I get lot of moral support from my sadhana. Mamma knows what I want and when. I just start my sadhana without any intention, simply without any intention. At the end what I find is understanding, the better understanding.  Yoga is just not about 8 lymbs for me. It is not like commandments to me. It is just like the way it is. No fight, no escapism, simply the truth minute by minute. What is Yoga for me? Initially, yoga was a way to do lot of Asanas and achi...
