Friendship

'Sathsangathe Nisangathwam' Says Sankaracharya.True friendship is detached!Detachment is the feature of true friendship.Any kind of attachment is not friendship.You need a string or a hook to get attached,a flexible string which makes you move  closer sometimes and distant in many occasions.The string is your own mind,which pulls and scales the distance to be kept with your friend Because attachment is a feature of your mind only.Nothing wrong in judging a person ,but  do not give up the feeling of connection,because you becoming a friend of some one is for no reason...just a coincidence!The cosmos gives you a chance to shower your pure love over your friend!And your friend needs the fragrance of you!
                                    Detachment means your friendship is moving ahead without any oscillation. Why you take deviation if you want to go straight?You keep the good relation intact as a treasure,locked,inside your heart.At times the friend goes wrong,the lock opens,and the affection heals and purifies the other.It demands nothing.Because you do not want to achieve anything..you are relaxed!.Friendship is endless and for no purpose,if  it is for a purpose and you are not achieving it, it hurts or you achieve it & the purpose is served & the friendship ends..A true friend can take the other to an upper room of ecstasy where all the trivialities of the world disappear!The windows of that room is open always,allowing the breeze to come in...you breath the pure air...taste the eternity....allowing the friendship to blossom perpetually......!
                        
          

Corruption.

Anna hazare goes on a hunger strike against corruption in our country.He wants more strict rules to fight corruption.Great move from the veteran leader!
        India is a country preserving high values.It has rich heritage and tradition.But India tops in corruption list ,now.Rules can be made to arrest corruption.Our jails become crowded once strict rules are imposed.Corrupt people can be jailed,but not corrupt mindedness.It will find out loopholes and the process will continue.
            Corruption is a kind of disease...Polluting the air by bad words is corruption,polluting the purpose of a good project by tapping money illegally is corruption.The more you grab the worse will be your suffering,And you think this money will free you from suffering,No,To get rid of this mess you accumulate more...You become a reservoir not a river .River flows and gives ,reservoir binds & fouls .You become a victim of your greed.
               Accumulating money in proper way is  great.You , becoming a kubera is fantastic.Then the affluence gives you enjoyment . Anything which can not be properly used for your satisfaction creates suffering.It is not the style of living but state of mind that matters.World  is challenging you continuously to upgrade your style of living.If you go on upgrading your style, it's an endless process..But if you reach a state of mind of completeness, then the only thing needed  is that you have to sustain that state.. .To reach a good state of mind you should follow some values.You should value others too..If the planet earth is having more number of corrupt people the life here will disappear within ten years!It is high time that these people should scan their system and get the viruses out of their minds.We must get back the money looted from us.
             India develops so fast,we are losing our values even faster.No education to protect our values.Education is given only to make students capable of earning money.Utility theory.West has practiced this theory.. .Anything which does not spin money is useless there...including retired parents!

Independence,,,

Society wants dependence.It teaches you unwritten rules,do's & donts etc.It does not cater to your own individual needs and feelers,it tries to contain you and fit you to a dress which is tailored not in your size.It has pre -owned attire ,you bend and bow down to wear it! They wanted you to be inside the format or forum .Then  social acceptance is the reward!If you are too straight they say you are an oldie...too smart you are pervert!You are being ruled by incapable...Slowly you accept the dependence.
         If you like to enjoy the breeze in paddy fields, society thinks you are awkward.You go to a second show in theater it is OK,You go to a club and inebriated you are' FIT' in the society!Go to a river and swim,you are illiterate! Have a jacuzzi and not bath at all ,you are yo-yo!Society attributes features and structures to you.It reduces your being into a remote control robot ,it directs you, when to smile and how many inches you open your lips.Buying a new dress and not going to church for a showdown, what use?In a new vehicle you go to club,you see a high priced one there .alas!Too much dependence on society!Social clubs are polluting the very air by gossips ,garbage and liquor bottles.
             Live the way you are.If you feel like you want to sleep,sleep well without guilt,you may be blessed by a sweet dream!If your inner being likes to feed an animal do it now.If you proceed with right actions satisfying your own intuitions and awareness, you can find out, society is a dust bin and people there, sit atop the Heep of garbage.And if you are self confident why you need a certificate from the society?You have enough of  inner treasures inside your being, intact.You do not need a fragile frame from the society to adorn yourself!

                         
                

Bouquet & bonsai..

  Most of us have dreams during night, related to some events that happened in the child hood days.Touching portrayals of schooling ,vivid extracts of people and events that came across during early ages.Why?We were intense and passionate then.A school tour,getting new dress,a feast....it is like our very being jumps out of us to celebrate events.I remember the long waiting for the yearly feast in our church...to ear the first beat of the drum...and the whistling of local band set ...the shopping from 'vechu vaanees' (street vendors),the night drama..etc.
And the most ruthless day in the life, going to school  the very next  day of the feast because a full year to wait for the next feast!
        When we become middle aged the intensity goes down, we do not have solid body memories and we lose the sweet dreams too!Going for a tour and you are not thrilled,you kill some money...cursing the vacation spot...taking snaps...reassuring that you had your vacation .Getting something new and you are not excited means you spent some money to prove in front of the society that you are still rich!Logical satisfaction...not for your senses..And your neighbor goes for a better buy your logic betrays you!
                A person who lives with his senses enjoys the moments of happiness derived out of any action.He does not mind  the logical appraisal and outcome of events happened to him.Live your way of happiness..Ecstatic...!Like a child!

Recoveries from audit.

   Towards the end of auditing in our branch, came a fever .A viral fever,suddenly raising my temperature to 103 degree.In the morning i thought i would go to hospital for consultation and then straight to office to take part in the final audit discussion So i instructed my wife not to come with me.I drove my car myself and reached the multy specialty hospital.To my distress i found myself too weak and pale ,i could not queue or go to pharmacy.I felt the kind of a small giddiness....And i thought i am alone in this world....despite the fact  that a thousand telephone numbers are in my mobile touch screen!
               Suddenly a woman appeared in front of me and directed me to the casualty,there i got an injection.When i stepped out of the room i saw she was waiting for me .She did the billing and handed over the medicines .I felt some relief and my eyes got to see everything clearly...I saw her carrying the kid who is crying and coughing continuously&waiting the child specialist..I paid her the bill amount saying nothing ,even not asking her name...because i was still in drowsiness.  I went to office,the tamilian auditor smiled and said "Go and take rest,excellent rating for the department!" I returned home .

              I got into a deep sleep under the influence of medicines....slowly i went into the realization that we are alone and true to our self.. but always attended by some one....We are infinite...An emergency comes...The supreme power will bull doze the difficulties and jack you up!A tiny seed falls into mud and emerges itself as a beautiful plant having full of flowers!A bowl of food converts itself into blood within no time through digestion!Miracles galore!!!

Atheist

A friend of mine whom i like very much has described himself an atheist. It is a word i do not come across during any of my studies.I dont know the thick dogmas which advocates atheism.
          A person who sees with clarity,gives importance to simple reasoning,evaluates things in consonance with its merits and demerits.And a person who believes not illogical things,prophesies &superstitions.Thus far i know about atheism.One thing is sure.An atheist is a person who is very near to spirituality!He is ready to say he knows only things which are knowable.He does not want to keep an account in swiss bank... obscure!with the belief that the mighty bank will take care of him!Believers of God, many a times proudly say they have huge bank balance in Bank of Almighty and the fund will take care of them now and even after death!Strange enough, ones belief contradicts the other ones belief.
               If a person says he knows only the facts around him and not ready to believe more he is in the right path.Because many things about spirituality is belief based,without proof,even false belief is received with acclaim because all believers can believe a lot,many fancies,many stories told to you in childhood.And if you do not believe such things you may feel guilty because you fear, you may face the wrath of God or may not receive the blessings!Any belief is blind,that is why one mans belief is totally against the other ones.So much of hatred and war over belief systems...Fighting for ones belief...fighting for ones own God...They say God is love...That you do not believe...because if God is love we can also love people of other religions..No...Our God is only love & my friends God is hatred.It is like  our sugar is sweet...not my neighbors!Many types of Gods!
        A person who sees this drama from his very birth becomes an atheist...it is not his fault...But....
  
       When an atheist says there is no God or spiritual force he depends too much on his logic&intelligence.And he closes the doors too.Nothing is beyond logic,He is definite.He is correct,God is not someone who can be known by logic.If u depend too much on your logic no chance for God.
   Lord Budha was asked "who is the creator"?He replied "The creator is the creation"Not Two,All in One!
A great macro energy runs...uninterrupted... Without measurements...Even without a beginning or end...Thus our limited logic loses the scope...So atheist closes the door with his own logic intact.
      A formless energy..independent intelligence..updating itself in every fraction of a second..God does not have form..Humans have forms...You will not believe any thing formless...Acharyas depicted Gods in numerous forms...Only for our cognizance..Because we wanted to see to believe...
        If u put form to this great energy the experience part loses..Can you deny the experience of love only because it is formless..Does pain have form?You go beyond the boundary of your body to experience the formless.
          A devotee goes to a church or a person goes to a mosque will feel the same degree of ecstasy and inner peace .For both of them the source is same.Only from the same source identical result comes,Sugar is derived only from sugarcane  anywhere.Thus proving the one and only energy center..Creator is the creation.. !
       Spirituality means awakening the formless spirits in you.Happiness,love,compassion all are formless spirits profusely residing inside you.If these energies are awakened you elevate yourself to a higher level of awareness.These are the products of your soul & you realize the presence of your very soul inside you,nonperishable.You think beyond your body limits,you realize your cosmic connection,you go for, out of body experiences..you realize you are your soul which is oneness with the whole.Then you start expressing ....unexplainable...unfathomable...undemanding.....pure bliss,love&compassion.

Malware!

Narayanan krishnan has been nominated for CNN award for humanitarian activities.He runs a kitchen in chennai giving food to 250 odd mentally retarded people everyday.Great human being!His cause inspires many people.
       The history of mankind reveals sagas of great human beings ,whom by their own selfless acts, became larger than life size images.We look at them with  respect&amazement.For us,they are examples of compassion,last word for virtue etc.Sometimes,we identify our own goodness with theirs...We wish we could change the world!But not courageous enough & we are busy with our own duties too..Slowly we postpone...We end up experiencing the feeling of virtue inside our mind...not  putting anything into practice... We do not start...We identify with great idols...neglecting some simple services to the needy people around us.
        When an incident of corruption happened in our country...we are busy reacting to it...through our conversations...We neglect a small corruption happening near our workplace...it is not my duty...I will react to 2Gs or 3Gs only.Fighting with madness is also madness..You engineer your own mechanism..If affluent persons give a single meal everyday to the starving, the world will sleep without empty stomach!
            The media makes us believe that only the big exists!Think in a big way!...Only big ideas sell..Things are brought in front of you in large size!.When our minds are inspired by great acts we feel a pseudo urge for virtue, losing the sacred inside happiness of any practical action,.however small our action may be.Only if you do something practical you feel the fulfilment..Yes, human beings are hijacked by great ideas in social networks...no practical actions...When Narayanan Krishnan feeds a lot of people ,shall we spare a single meal...at least once in a week?
