A very simple And profound story
1- A very simple but profound story that brings out the Truth of today's life
One day a school teacher wrote on the board the following:
9×1=7
9×2=18
9×3=27
9×4=36
9×5=45
9×6=54
9×7=63
9×8=72
9×9=81
9×10=90
9×1=7
9×2=18
9×3=27
9×4=36
9×5=45
9×6=54
9×7=63
9×8=72
9×9=81
9×10=90
When she was done, she looked to the students and they were all laughing at her, because of the first equation which was wrong, and then the teacher said the following,
"I wrote that first one wrong on purpose, because I wanted you to learn something important. This was for you to know how the world out there will treat you. You can see that I wrote RIGHT 9 times, but none of you congratulated me for it; you all laughed and criticized me because of one wrong thing I did. So this is the lesson...:
'The world will never appreciate the good u do a million times, but will criticize the one wrong thing u do...
Imagine going from Destination A to Destination B. You do it every morning...
Two ways to do it:-
Plan 1:-
you just get up hushed up from the bed, spend time on your mobile phone, too tired to exercise - you get sucked up into the same routine- worries, day dreaming, insecurities etc etc & then you lazily move to Destination B
you just get up hushed up from the bed, spend time on your mobile phone, too tired to exercise - you get sucked up into the same routine- worries, day dreaming, insecurities etc etc & then you lazily move to Destination B
Plan 2:-
Get up early. Spend 30 mins on Fitness (You'll feel like a king when you run in a park (with the Earth below your feet & the wind kissing your face) & then meditating for 15 mins & THEN going towards your destination B with a roar ...
Get up early. Spend 30 mins on Fitness (You'll feel like a king when you run in a park (with the Earth below your feet & the wind kissing your face) & then meditating for 15 mins & THEN going towards your destination B with a roar ...
If YOU see closely there is only one person who is stopping you from taking the Plan 2. That person is YOU.
See - it is simple ! The duniyaadaari does a brilliant job of a Shampoo (shine comes but is very abrasive if used daily). That's why one needs the conditioners - Fitness & Meditation.
It is damn Your OWN Life
Why not then 'Rise & Shine'
2- Don't CHASE people !!
Get CHOSEN by them !!!
& they'll CHOOSE & CHASE you when you spend at least 10 yrs of damn focused & one hundred percent energetic EFFORT in a career/ sport / business which has a market potential.
Insight :- 99% give away or diffuse much before 10 yrs & continue their CHASING efforts:)
You - Rise & Shine !
One Life !
3- If u r always THERE for them; people will treat u like 24*7 news channels i.e. Less respect & inferior / jabardasti content.
Be slightly hard to get !
4-
When the renovation of the temple began for the annual temple feast the pigeons relocated themselves to a Church nearby.
The existing pigeons in the Church accommodated the new comers very well.
Christmas was nearing and the Church was given a facelift, All the pigeons had to move out and look for another place.
They were fortunate to find a place in a Mosque nearby, The pigeons in the Mosque welcomed them happily.
It was Ramadan time and the Mosque was repainted, All the pigeons now came to the same ancient temple.
One day the pigeons on top found some communal clashes below in a market square.
The baby pigeon asked the mother pigeon
"Who are these people ?
"Who are these people ?
The mother replied; they are "Human beings".
The baby asked,
But why are they fighting with each other...?
But why are they fighting with each other...?
The mother said "These human beings going to temple are called 'Hindus' and the people going to Church are called 'Christians' and the people going to Mosque are called 'Muslims'.
The Baby pigeon asked, "Why is it so? When we were in the Temple we were called Pigeons, when we were in the church we were called Pigeons and when we were in the Mosque, we were called Pigeons. Similarly they should be called just
'Human beings' wherever they go"?
'Human beings' wherever they go"?
The mother Pigeon said,
'You and me and our Pigeon friends have experienced God and that's why we are living here in a highly elevated place peacefully.
'You and me and our Pigeon friends have experienced God and that's why we are living here in a highly elevated place peacefully.
These people are yet to experience God.
Hence they are living below us and fighting and killing each other.
5- A sexy Guitar – I got one on my b’day …& paid for the BEST Guitar classes in the city.
Three things I can do :-
The BEST thing : Be disciplined in the classes for 6-7 months and LEARN it out…(Pain involved)
2nd Best THING : I do not GO to the classes at all (even after paying the money). I accept it !!!
Worst THING : – I do not GO/ Go irregularly ; but keep on feeling GUILTY about ‘Not Going’…
Ditto for MOST other things in Life !
Take Strong, Firm Decisions and LEAVE the Guilt …
6- 'Not needing SOMEONE ALWAYS' is the best position that you can be in TO MAKE IT GRANDE IN YOUR ONE LIFE.
'This SOMEONE' could be Friends, Mobile phone, TV, Day Dreaming habits or anything which occupies huge memory space in the hard disk of your MIND.
See it is simple ! You need to learn to BE ALONE for huge patches of time to generate ideas & action for 'AWESOMENESS in your Life'.
And it is not a sacrifice that you r doing by doing so. This is a prerequisite.
Kill it !
Rise & Shine !
7- Here is what I found to be the secret to that joyous, humming & smiling mind (when music feels more music & you just smile for no reason):-
DO NOT AVOID listening to that voice of intuit. That is THE VOICE of direction in Life.
That voice of intuit will tell u that YOU ARE becoming a glorified slave. The voice will keep on becoming shriller; the more you avoid it. Majority people snub that voice under the weight of their insecurities, fears, Home Loans, Car Loans, social Image etc etc. Their soul gets bought out by the false security of a constant money flow & they keep on doing work / things which do not flow from their heart.
Now & then - That voice pops up once in a while again in that duniyaadari flow. But our hardened & negotiated hearts have by then mastered the art of silencing it.
Now the secret:-
Don't avoid that voice. It is your Soul's voice. Be a Man. Stand up, listen to it & follow it to the hilt. Thats where your greatness lies. That's how you will become MASSIVE. Thats how STORIES will get created for coming generations. That's how you will SMILE looking back at your life when you grow old.
That's how you will feel LIGHT in your muscles & feel like you are FLYING.
One Life !
8- 'Your unpredictable (random) behaviour towards imp people in your life' - is the biggest cancer in your Relationship with them.
You get upset like a drama queen & they just regularly keep on 'making u Ok'
Or
You need extra large pampering (which if u do not get u react like Star Plus sops)
And THEN at the end of it YOU curse, hurt and hurl pungent words at people who r THE ones in your life.
You realize it also, say a SORRY at times too but YOU are back to your Random ways. Nahin chalega !!!
A MAN will soon take your place if you don't change your BOYISH ways & Vice-Versa.
Be the HERO. Kill the Ego & dare to creatively change your fortune in your Relationships forver...
For, if you do not have THE CREATIVITY in YOU to change YOURSELF/ imp people in your life- then whatever ELSE you do / claim to do is FAKE and real shallow.
9 - So what ? If u conquered the Everest ; BUT your mind was NOT at REST
Whoever said 'Winners never Rest' was a moron.
Winners & Top achievers know 'How to rest fully'. When they work - they FULLY work. And when they rest - 'They disconnect fully & rest 100%'.
But majority junta remains in a Grey zone. NAA poora Rest; NAA 100% focus se Kaam'. That's why they live a Pale version of Life.
Strengthen your Mind. That's where your lottery lies. Win it !!
Have a SUNDAY kind of Sunday & not a Monday kind of Sunday. Rise & Shine
10 - Right in front of my house there is a 'Jaamun' tree ...
The tree remains mostly ignored right through the year...
But then the month when Jaamuns grow on it -- the tree becomes a heartthrob for kids, young & old (funnily all of them)
YOU are like that Jaamun Tree.
People will come to you, love you for your fruits (qualities) & will not come to you ; just because you WANT them to...
No one is interested in you; because of YOU. They are interested in YOU because of your fruit (qualities) bearing abilities.
Take that !!
11 - A nice story of Adi Shankaracharya teaching his students how to empty and free their mind:
"Adi Sankara was walking through the market place with his disciples.
They saw a man dragging a cow by a rope.
Sankara told the man to wait and asked his disciples to surround them.
They saw a man dragging a cow by a rope.
Sankara told the man to wait and asked his disciples to surround them.
“I am going to teach you something” and continued...
“Tell me who is bound to whom? Is the cow bound to this man or the man is bound to the cow?"
The disciples said without hesitation “Of course the cow is bound to the man!. The man is the master. He is holding the rope. The cow has to follow him wherever he goes. The man is the master and the cow is the slave.”
“Tell me who is bound to whom? Is the cow bound to this man or the man is bound to the cow?"
The disciples said without hesitation “Of course the cow is bound to the man!. The man is the master. He is holding the rope. The cow has to follow him wherever he goes. The man is the master and the cow is the slave.”
“Now watch this”, said Sankara and took a pair of scissors from his bag and cut the rope.
The cow ran away from the master and the man ran after his cow. “Look, what is happening”, said Sankara
The cow ran away from the master and the man ran after his cow. “Look, what is happening”, said Sankara
“Do you see who the Master is? The cow is not at all interested in this man. The cow in fact, is trying to escape from this man.
This is the case with our MIND.
This is the case with our MIND.
Like the cow, all the non-sense that we carry inside is not interested in us. WE ARE INTERESTED IN IT, we are keeping it together somehow or the other. We are going crazy trying to keep it all together under our control.
The moment we lose interest in all the garbage filled in our head, and the moment we understand the futility of it, it will start to disappear. Like the cow, it will escape and disappear.”
We can allow disappearing of all the unwanted things from our mind and feel relaxed.
12 - Your GOALS & Dreams are a Huge File (Thousands of GB)
When you use the broadband of 'Self Discipline' - the download speed you get is greater than 5 Mbps. (Payment of course is v high here:- High Energy & extreme self discipline)
99% junta works at 128 kbps & keeps on blaming the external circumstances for their fate ...
Your Speed ! Your choice ! Your Life ..
13 - One day a construction supervisor from 6th floor of building was calling a worker working on the ground floor. Because of construction noise, the worker on ground floor did not hear his supervisor calling.
Than, to draw the attention of worker, the supervisor threw a 10 rupee note from up which fell right around in front of the worker.
The worker picked up the 10 rupee note, put it in his pocket & continued with his work.
Again to draw the attention of worker, the supervisor now threw 500 rupee note & the worker did the same, picked 500 rupee note, put it in his pocket & started doing his job.
The worker picked up the 10 rupee note, put it in his pocket & continued with his work.
Again to draw the attention of worker, the supervisor now threw 500 rupee note & the worker did the same, picked 500 rupee note, put it in his pocket & started doing his job.
Now to draw attention of the worker, the supervisor picked a small stone & threw on worker. The stone hit exactly the worker head. This time the worker looked up & the supervisor communicated with the worker.
This story is same as of our life. Lord from up wants to communicate with us, but we are busy doing our worldly jobs. Then God give us small gifts & we just keep it without seeing from where we got it.
Then God gives us amounts (gifts) & we are the same. Just keep the gifts without seeing from where it come & without thanking God. We just say we are LUCKY.
Then when we are hit with a small stone, which we call problems, then we look up & we communicate with God.
So every time we get gift, we should thank God immediately, and not wait till we are hit by a small stone, and then we should communicate with God
14 - Just ONE decision. ONE strong Decision !!!
Possibly only ONE decision is keeping you away from an awesome Life that awaits you.
Take that Decision !! One Life !
15 -
Months passed and one day the head falconer informed the king that though one of the falcons was flying majestically, soaring high in the sky, the other bird had not moved from its branch since the day it had arrived.
The king summoned healers and sorcerers from all the land to tend to the falcon, but no one could make the bird fly. He presented the task to the member of his court, but the next day, the king saw through the palace window that the bird had still not moved from its perch. Having tried everything else, the king thought to himself, "May be I need someone more familiar with the countryside to understand the nature of this problem." So he cried out to his court, "Go and get a farmer."
In the morning, the king was thrilled to see the falcon soaring high above the palace gardens. He said to his court, "Bring me the doer of this miracle."
The court quickly located the farmer, who came and stood before the king. The king asked him, "How did you make the falcon fly?"
With head bowed, the farmer said to the king, " It was very easy, your highness. I simply cut the branch of the tree where the bird was sitting."
Moral :-
We are all made to fly - to realize our incredible potential as human beings. But instead of doing that, we sit on our branches, clinging to the things that are familiar to us. The possibilities are endless, but for most of us, they remain undiscovered. We conform to the familiar, the comfortable, the mundane. So for the most part, our lives are mediocre instead of exciting, thrilling and fulfilling. So let us learn to destroy the branch of fear we cling to and free ourselves to the glory of flight..
16 - Why should you waste your time / energy & emotion over someone who doesn't even have time/ energy or emotion to even ask you if YOU ARE OK ??
Don't chase. Chase a better thing rather :- 'Your own career, your fitness & your own mental strength'.
Let your strong personality take you SO FAR that no idiot is able to chase you down.
No one cares for or is interested in your weak mind. Be awesomely spectacular in handling your own self.
17 - If u see closely; majority of our worries / anxieties are 'Money Related' (for people who are 25+)
We r trying to exert too hard to save some from here & there, gain an advantage there or here. And if u see more closely majority of the times the amounts of money / stakes that we worry for are small (At least much much smaller than the larger picture).
Here is my take on this:-
1) If you are focusing on small amounts - the law of attraction will keep you small : Small in mindset, smaller in gains & smallest in luck.
Pay out those small amounts & BUY out momentum, luck & peace.
2) Worrying about small issues & amounts-- punctures & dissipates your CONCENTRATION on any thing which is more valid to you in your life.
Just imagine if u were to use double your concentration to solve business, family and whatever u r onto ???
3) As I look back at my life & also of so many others around - RICH become RICHER by first being rich in their heart than by becoming a miser.
4) The premise that 'Boond Boond se Sagar Banta hai' is falsely true. As I will prefer to concentrate to find smart ways to buy a bucket to gather water THAN carry single water drops to my home.
5) Whatever your parents and teachers told you / conditioned your mind with may not be fully valid in today's times (as the world has significantly changed in the last few years).
Find / Identify your own smart model & style of living out your life.
Don't buy 'Sincerity Stress'. Buy elegant algorithms to live your 'One Life' ...
Grace is so, so better THAN Grease.
18 - How often do you let others people's nonsense change your mood?
Do you let a bad driver, rude waiter, ride boss, or an insensitive employee ruin your day? Unless you are the Terminator, for an instant you are probably set back on your heels. However, the mark of a successful person is how quickly he/she can get back her focus on what is important.
Sixteen years ago I learned this lesson. I learned it in the back of a Newyork City Taxi cab. Here's what happened,
I hopped in a taxi, and we took off for Grand Central Station, We were driving in the right lane when, all of a sudden, a black car jumped from the parking space right in the front of us. My taxi driver slammed his breaks, skidded, and missed the other car's back end by just inches.
The driver of the other car, the guy who almost caused a big accident, whipped his head around & he started yelling bad words at us.
My taxi driver just smiled & waved at the guy, and I mean he was friendly. So I said, " why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car & sent us to the hospital!'
And this is when my taxi driver told me what I now call, "The law of Garbage truck"
Many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, & full of disappointment, as their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it. And if you let them, they will dump it on you. When someone wants to dump on you, don't take it personally.
You just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. You will be happy you did.
So this was it: The ' Law of the Garbage Truck'. I started thinking, how often do I let Garbage Trucks run right over me? And how often do I take their garbage & spread it to the other people: at work, at home. "
19 - "Maybe everything is Good & you are just semi-sad because of your hardened habit to feel & look like this " ?
Maybe YOU have come to believe that "you need to worry to feel that you are progressing in Life ?
Maybe you r just not savoring the good things in your own life when lakhs might just be dreaming to have a life as yours ?
Maybe YOUR worst nightmare is someone else's fondest dream ?
- Just told this to my nearing 40 friend who looks so damn lost in the imaginary whirlpool of "To Dos" of his One Life .
Felt like SHARING with you. Maybe someone in your family , friend list needs to be violently shaken and be told this. Maybe
20 - What Spiderman said -
"Whatever comes our way, whatever battle we have raging inside us, we always have a choice. We can choose to be the best of ourselves. It's the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what's right............................."
21 - hey focus their majority efforts:-
- in speaking useless things e.g. problems around (over which they have no control)
- accusing , blaming, criticizing people
- feeling Victimized (mere saath hee aisa kyun hota hai etc etc )
- accusing , blaming, criticizing people
- feeling Victimized (mere saath hee aisa kyun hota hai etc etc )
They are REACTIVE people & they have a very high probability to spend their entire lives living like that (Habits ! you know
)
Ignore them for if you answer, explain or try to change them - YOU will only burn your time & precious Energy.
I did that actively in the last few years & FELT a big big difference.
Be PROACTIVE about YOUR own agendas. Chuck the REACTIVE agents from your mind laboratory !!!
Begin TODAY !
