The Infinity

Infinity is the most mysterious concepts worth to be understood but unfortunately it cannot be understood. Perhaps the only concept in which I am interested. The more you think about it the more mysterious it becomes. I am almost convinced it cannot be understood. This is definitely beyond human capacity. Otherwise, we would have understood by now. Even mathematics behave so erratically at infinity. 

I think there is a reason why the universe is infinite. If universe were finite it would have looked ugly, perhaps. 

In math any finite number divided by infinity tends to 0. Does it mean that any amount of work we do is also zero at grand infinity scale? Not sure, but it does mean that irrespective of what you do the total effect on the universe is probably almost 0 because the universe is Infinite. The question arises is - does universe which is infinite, has a purpose? If you have a purpose but if universe doesn't have purpose then your "Karma" is of no use. And if universe has a purpose and you don't have a purpose then you are in trouble. The other possibility is if universe has a different purpose than yours then also the situation is bad. But how do we know we are living in one universe or there are multi-verses existing parallelly at same time. There is a possibility that there could be infinite number of infinitely large universe all existing at the same time parallelly.

Recent study says there could be holes in space-time fabric which connects to other universes.  Scientist studying in this field have to describe other universes physics. We are not able to understand the physics of this universe(3D space + time) then and how we are going to understand the physics of other universe which is not even accessible. And who know if we access to that universe there might be another universe behind that universe and it continues upto infinite infinity..

Or other theory can be -- this universe or that universe end of the day it can be termed as one universe which is infinite.

Success

Our knowledge about something is directly proportional to the amount of time and energy spent in achieving the knowledge about that subject. Some people seems to have too much details and minutes about something. It means they have spent more time in achieving that. It may be worth doing that also.


The same logic applies to success also. Success is a state we want to achieve. In our current state/condition if we invest enough time and energy in order to achieve that successful state then it is possible to move into successful state. But it is certain that there is a minimum amount of effort/energy required in order to achieve success. Slightly less then minimum amount will not yield to success. For example - pure water boils only at 100 degree c. Nothing much happens at 99 degree c. Many of failure adventures were stopped at half way. Their calculation to achieve success was somehow perceived that they can't met minimum criteria. Most of times it is a problem in the perception. If we correct our perception they will not see success very far.


Lately I had been associated with adventures with Drones :-) Anything which flies into air has been fascinating to me since my childhood. I love watching free sky,  stars at night, and the horizon at beaches. It reminds of Einstein's quest - "I want to know what lights up the stars?". My desire to design drones from scratch will continue despite several hardware challenges in India. I learnt that there is a huge dependency on China when it comes to purchase chips/boards. Wish India also has replica of Shenzen (electronic manufacturing) and Silicon Valley(electronic innovation). India need to step up on hardware development if we want to bring world class hardware product out of India. Government should support hardware companies realizing their dreams. India has still not understood the importance of hardware. America's strength is not software, it is hardware :-) They are excellent in hardware. Their all software growth is on hardware innovations.

SpaceTime

These days I am watching YouTube videos on spacetime, relativity theory, cosmology in the field of theoretical physics. Probably, Einstein was the first person to find some kind of relation between space and time. He said that space and time are not separated but interlinked. These kind of theory cannot be proposed just by thinking, it is largely based on the perception. He had special ability to precept and visualize what happens when an object moves very fast. By "very fast" I mean objects moving close to the speed of light. He postulated that speed of light is constant in any frame of reference. (non-inertial?) and nothing can move faster than speed of light. Secondly the laws of nature are same in any inertial frame of reference. Basically it says that an object at rest or moving at constant speed is same phenomena as far as laws of physics are concerned. These are outcome of special theory of relativity. Further general theory of relativity reveals about the curvature of space and time due to gravity/mass, blackholes, warmholes, timetravel etc. 

I feel that after Einstein died his theory couldn't go to next level. Newtonian mechanics remained un-questioned for approx. 300 years. Meanwhile quantum mechanics came and the whole world drifted towards it because it somehow predicts the position of electrons quite accurately that is good enough for industrial applications. I feel that quantum mechanics is not a complete theory but an approximation theory. However, no body knows that it has to be non-approximation theory. I personally find relativity more interesting than quantum. I may be wrong but my prediction is relativity only will unlock the door to the final theory if at all it exists. Ultimate theory should also describe human consciousness which is neither electron, proton or neutron. Human consciousness is wave or particle? I haven been contemplating on this and looks like it is neither wave nor particle it's something else. And probably it travels faster than light also. 

One very basic phenomena scientist has to understand how to travel from point A to point B. Although the problem looks very simple but actually this is one of the most mis-understood problem. Let say A......C.......B is the path from point A to point B via point C. To go from A to B why I always have to go through C. Why cant i just hop from A to B directly, skipping C. According to Einstein if you travel from A to B via C then it is limited by speed of light. But is it not possible to avoid travelling A->C->B therefore go A to B in 0 time, no matter how far A and B is separated. I am not denying Einstein's principle he is probably right when you travel. But if travelling itself can be avoided it will open another dimension. I think quantum mechanics predicts these kind of hopping and they call it teleporting/entangled-particles. Einstein said space and time is illusion and they always exist. If that is the case then travelling from A to B without C is possible in 0 time, at least theoretically.

Books

I love to purchase books. I am in process of making a mini-library in my house. Somewhere I heard you need three things to run your life smoothly - 1. Library, 2. Garden, 3. Friends. I am determined to have first two, luckily have last one. Reading books always gives many insights. However, at times my interest to read them is inversely proportional to the thickness of the book. I want to have almost all of world's best classical books ever written. Some of the books currently I have on my shelf are - Sherlock Holmes, Pride and prejudice, Gulliver's Travels, The adventures of Tom Sawyer, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Tales of Mystery and Imagination, The Iliad, Childhood, Father and Sons, Tales from Shakespeare, How to win friends and influence people, Think and grow rich, The Book of Mirdad.

And following are in my wishlist:

1. Meetings with Remarkable Men
2. The Rubiyaat of Omar Khayyam
3. Tao Te Ching
4. Jonathan Livingston Seagul: A story
5. Thus Spake Zarthustra by Freidrich Nietzsche
6. Healthy living according to Mahatma Gandhi
7. In search of lost time
8. Ulysses
9. On Self-Reliance by Ralph Waldo Emerson
10. The Divine Comedy
11. The power of positive thinking
12. The Prophet by Khalil Gibran
13. The Book of Secrets by Osho
14. The Book of Nothing: Hsin Hsin Ming
15. The Sermon On The Mount
16. Tertium Organum by P D Ouspensky
17. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
18. The Brothers Karamazov by Fyodor Dostoyevsky

Upade

I do not enjoy reading books very much. I would have read lest number of books as compared to others in general. My thinking is that if you read a book then you think in direction of writer's mind. Your mind gets biased. By reading a book may help you in a certain way say..to acquire some knowledge about some topics. It may even give you some insight. But this is not may cup of tea. Now the question arise then why do  I want to write a book. Well i said i don't like to read a book much I didnt say that i dont like it to write :) Basically what i meant is I am extremely selective in reading book. So selective that I almost don't ready any books. Somehow I think that by reading books your mind doesn't think naturally. Your become imitators. You imitate writer. In fact eveyelse in this world is a kind of imitator with a mask on his/her face.

Yes have thought the title of the book. Will be revealed after launch. Have almost no intension to make it best sellers or something like that. Because I know I just cant afford to do that. As you know if you want to write a book that sells well then just funda doesnt work. It needs masala. A book with funda + masala will sell good. I have funda. Infact i have no dearth of funda. Can write Ramanyan out of just funda. But I lack on   masala. Have also segregated the chapers. Just need right amount of masala to add it. if you can give me any insight on adding masala would be of great help. There are lots of books that are soleley on funda. I have no intention to re-write aristotle/plato or any such things. All my intention is that I want people to understand life and the world. You have a life but you live in a world governed by other people. According to me people doesn't understand. And there are other class of people who think that they understand but they don't understand in reality. They are in greater peril. Will reveal some of my understanding of life in that book ofcourse with masala part too.

Pls ignore the typos.

i'm back!

I am back again.

No blogging form 11 months. That's quite long. I must keep this space alive for whatever small purpose it has. Was busy growing my little kid...he is 1 year 2 months now. But this is not an excuse for not writing posts here. At many instances I just wanted to scribble here, but didn't have much to do so.

Growing kid with good human values is always a challenge. Kids are the future. Society has big responsibility to grow kids with good value so that they can support the nation in the future. I am scared with kind of education they impart on kids in school. Too much of discipline is also not good. Whenever a society becomes weak, it becomes disciplined. I don't want to enforce my kid to be topper or genius in the school, if it doesn't happen naturally. Neither want school/teacher to do so.

These days have been watching Chandraguta Maurya at ndtv imagine. Chanakya was really a great person. He had a purpose in the life that was of great value socially. Now if someone ask - what should be the purpose of life? According to me, life at it's natural, doesn't need any purpose. The life itself is sufficient to fulfill all its purposes. But this will be too theoretically or rather impractical answer as we live in an practical world. So to get the life going in a practical sense it should have a purpose. And if it all it has to have a purpose it should be great. But again, this greatness of purposes can be highly directive. Whoever has created history in human civilization must had a purpose. They had a purpose in life. A big purpose. And they worked very hard for that purpose. They lived for that purpose. Be it Alexander, Napoleon, Chandragupta Maurya or whoever you name it. And I think our education system doesn't teach to have great purpose in life.

The Book of Mirdad - Chapter 1

Decided to write a commentary on "The Book of Mirdad". Osho Rajneesh has rated this book as no. 1 book. And when Osho says there must be something in it. The book is really a book of big words and big meanings. The book which speaks off the relationship of blood and flesh with the space and time. My aim is not to create a literature out of this commentary. My aim is not to make you more knowledgeable. My simple aim is to look at the book the way I see it. Here it goes...

Thus, Mirdad unveils himself to unveil you. There are class of people who would not unveil themselves unless someone unveils them. Mirdad says your eyes and your ears which itself are veil, how can they show the path of enlightenment. Mirdad himself is very surprised that eye can only veil, but cannot pierce the veil. But his surprise is natural. This is the game of nature that for an individual will not be very easy to understand. And perhaps he will never understand. According to me, eyes should always unveil. I also just don't understand why do eyes always veil and the purpose behind. However, Mirdad shows a way to unveil. That's fine. The way is fine. Sooner or later you will find. But the very question is still open - Why do eyes veil? And this is the point almost every so-called enlightened being has missed out. I do not favor individual enlightenment. I support mass enlightenment. Mass enlightenment is something which has never happened in the history of human civilization. Only one Jesus and rest all followers. Only 1 Buddha, 1 Bodhidharma. It's not enough. One Buddha cannot do much. Unless each and every person on the earth will become Buddha the question will remain open. And perhaps they knew it. If you allow me the freedom of speech and syllables - according to me - Each and every person should start meditating and keep meditating forever leaving everything onto the nature. And everybody should get released from clasp of known time and space continuum.

Mirdad is pointing to a different kind of eye that is needed to pierce the veil. He is saying first correct your eyes, because your eyes itself is a veil. Basically, he is saying to correct yourself. Eyes speak more than the mouth. Look at the eyes of Osho. I have never seen eyes like him. What a calm, radiating eyes. Those eyes are not of this world. If you want to understand the person look into his eyes. His eyes will tell you what he is. He is right there in his eyes. He cannot deceive from eyes. Eyes are the most lively part of the body. These are practical matter, but in theory he is saying to change yourself. A change is needed. It's a must. Because, the man is almost sleep. Don't think just because you are not sleeping that means you are waking. Even when not sleeping you will be sleeping which you will never know unless awakened. Mirdad is demanding a change. And the change has to be at very fundamental layer. I am in complete accordance with him at this point. The first will be the man has to be awaken. He doesn't even know that he is waking. All his activity are in sleep, in deep deep sleep. By the time you will finish reading this line, that moment will drip into the eternity of the past. And so much of sleep-time is being dripped into the eternity of past every moment. How does the nature accommodate this? Only nature knows...

The change has to be applied to each and every person on the earth. Individual enlightenment is absolutely absurd to me. The humanity has to achieve it together. Not even a signal person should be escaped. That is the only and only possibility the humanity will be cheerful and contented. However, this possibility is a remote possibility. Because, it has never happened so far. Many have tried to achieve this possibility, but all have failed, utterly failed. And if they have failed, it's not their fault. Because, this is the very nature of the existence itself. You have a plan and the existence itself has it's own plan. And at many times these two plans contradict. Because you don't know the plan of the nature nor the nature knows your plan. At this point of existential contradiction the highest degree of intelligence suggests to just be an observer. Whatever happens you are just an observer. This will allow the whole of the existence to complete it's plan. The existence created you to fulfill it's purpose. Through you, the existence wants to achieve some goal. Whatever be the goal, that's immaterial. But you never allow the existence to complete it's plan. That's what your teachers have taught you. But, they can't be blamed about it, because they were taught by their teachers. And it's a big chain, a big viscous circle . That's why Osho says the world is mesh. He is absolutely right. The whole nonsense have been taught for centuries and centuries. And since it has been taught over the centuries it look like a truth now. If you keep lion in a cage for long time he will forget that he is a lion. In the beginning we were all lions, but now we are lame. The degradation is only possible, if elevated.

Not that you don't want to help others. Not that they didn't teach you to help others. They have tried their level best to teach you "so-called" good values. But those "so-called" values were incomplete. They have made you lame and asked you to help others. This may be the propaganda of society. Being lame no help can be done, so it creates guilt. Even if you want to help other, you would do disaster to him/her. That's why Mirdad says your world is a baffling riddle, it is because you are that baffling riddle.

To be continued...

The world is a mesh

When Osho says the whole world is a mesh, he really mean something. Something wrong happened and it continued to happen for centuries. Now it is not easy to correct. A big momentum is needed. We have done and doing something wrong but no one can be blamed about. So it appears that the nature itself somehow wants to create a mesh. This is very strange and difficult to understand. Why would nature produce non-enlightened being over the centuries? This is absolutely absurd or probably I am not able to understand. Or probably it may happen in the near future. The Intelligence of the whole is much more than that of an individual. The nature has very strange way of it's survival. I want to understand the mind of the nature. In Japan earthquake, tsunami came and so many ppl died. What is this game of the nature? And why only to Japanese? What is the nature's plan behind? Fukusima was thrashed totally. So, does it mean that we should not develop our city because any moment earthquake can come? Our development is subjected to natural disaster. So we should stop developing? This point everyone should understand. If you think carefully, very very carefully, you will find that so called development which society has been doing since Adam's day is not needed. The only development ever needed is about human consciousness. Development is happening but it is not happening in the right direction. This is creating the whole mesh what Osho says. It is like pushing a wall. If you push a wall, the wall will not move, but you will feel tired. The whole of humanity is pushing a wall, trying to move a mountain which is not needed in it's absoluteness.

Everyone would have to take initiative and change him/herself. Because 1 person cannot change 6-7 billion people. I admire Baba Ramdev to some extent what he is doing. He is doing good but that will not be sufficient to establish peace and harmony on the earth. He should shift thinking from nation level to world level. At present he is concentrating on India level probably he will move to world level. Osho once had said - "There is no need for nations". The whole earth should be 1 nation. I have read about too many philosophers but no one has the Audacity of Osho. The common problem which is felt by all the prophets and saints is that their momentum is not sufficient to change the whole of the humanity. Because to change everybody has to change. Not that they didn't know this problem. They knew very well. But they did their best. Nothing more can be done. The inertia of humanity is much more than the momentum of all the prophets and saints :( But nature knows it all :)

Joke

Benny arrived home to find the kitchen a mess of broken crockery. "What happened?" asked his wife.
"There's something wrong with this cookbook," she explained. "It says an old cup without a handle will do for the measuring - and it's taken eleven tries to get a handle off without breaking the cup."

The fatherhood

I was fathered to b a father. And it so happened on 20th jan 2011. The very first day of hindi calender month Maagh. My anticipation was on the full moon but it crossed it. God choosed to give us a baby boy - the joy of our life :-) Agastya will be his name as kept by my wifeeee. I wanted to keep his name Raajan. But dropped the idea because so many underworld name is associated with this name. Raajan is a beautiful name to me - something royal. I have noticed one thing to some extent that people become almost opposite of the meaning of their name. Their whole personality is no way positively associated to their name. Raajan are supposed to be holy king, but they became underworld don. But the king of underworld? Hope he will gather some qualities of sage Agastya.

Read upto eleventh chap of "The book of Mirdad". going slowly. i will write commentary on this book when i will have time. The book is highly philosophical. The book which talk the relationship between blood and flesh with time and space. Mirdad must be the man of insight. Otherwise there is no possibility that these words can be written in order to just write a best seller. No best seller writer can write such sentences unless he has the insight. He says, "eyes can see the viel but cannot pierce the viel". Now such statements u cant expect from, chetan bhagat. When did he get time to think on that? It needs ample time to pierce the viel which we dont have.

The book of Mirdad

This is a classical spiritual literature. This is the book. I am extremely selective in reading books. So, selective that I almost don't read any book. I would have read the least number of books as compared to others, in general. Because I believe in bad books. All books are not good as it appears. And ever I cared is only about the truth which books do not contain. Books contain information about the truth, not the truth. When you r hungry, food is the only way. I love books lying on the shelf rather than reading them. And it so happened when other day I picked "the book of mirdad". After a long time I started reading a classical spiritual text. The book really has something in it. Although millions have tried to measure the depth of ocean but very few have succeeded in true sense. Mirdad is one of them. A rare piece. It was like Ashtavakra Geeta. Do give it a shot. It will be more insightful than tonnes of bestsellers. It may not make you more knowledgeable about certain subject matter, but it will open a new dimension of life in you (provided you are open, a closed pot cannot be filled). And that's what your holy teachers have done to you unknowingly. When Jesus says, "god forgive them coz they don't know what they r doing" - is of tremendous value. Your teacher, your politician, your parents didn't know what they were doing to you. And you will repeat the same nonsense to your kids in a little different manner subjected to the society. If u look at the humanity, it is doing same nonsense starting from day 1. Man has not changed at all. Means have changed, environment is changed, time has changed. But man is utterly same. Doing, but no idea of doings. Just following a race. Since everybody else is racing so I am racing. And that everybody thinks. Everybody is fooling everybody else.

This world would have been full of natural gardens, full of contented and cheerful people living in their totality. Buddhas would have been your neighbours. Unless each and every person on the earth will become lile Buddha the problems of this world will not be solved no matter what you do. This is my word I say onto you that Buddha knew it. We need 1000 Buddhas operating at a time and the fate of human race can be changed forever.

Contradictions

Our holy teachers taught us that contradictions are not good. We should avoid contradictions. Contrarily, I find contradictions very beautiful when analyzed carefully. Often contradictions turns out to be complementary. First of all, what is required is a clear mind free from illusions which just see the reality as it is. But how do you know what is an illusion and what is not an illusion? Now this is a million $ question. There are two separate distinct school of thoughts at this point. The thought of eastern civilization originated mostly from India - "This is unreal, that is real." And the thought of west - "This is real, that is unreal." This is where east and west contradictions in proposing the reality.

I feel that these school of thought should be merged to - "This is real, that is real" - Even unreal is real. We cannot simply deny the unreal. Since unreal is the part of this very existence, it should be merged to real. So, everything is real as far as understanding is concerned. Then east and west are in consensus at this point - the convergence of reality.

Now coming to practical aspect of my life. I have not cared for good and bad. I simply live experimentally. Experience can be good and bad with which I am not concerned. But, I am concerned with the experience. I simply don't believe in just living a consistent "so called" good life. I hate the word - "consistent". Really really hate this word - consistent. But if it happens on it's own, naturally, it's okay. Then it's perfectly okay. Anything which happens naturally, be it consistent, inconsistent, good, bad, is good. However, the life in general remains mysterious and inconsistent. As a student I have received, both good and bad feedback. One teacher told me you are a very intelligent student. Never seen an intelligent hard working like you. The other teacher told me you are a fool. The deviation of complements received in my life varies too much. Even in professional life I received both very good performer and then average performer. Have you ever think on "average". This is such a beautiful word. I will write about average sometime later. Meanwhile keep thinking on - "law of average" :)

The garden and the forest

That day while driving I saw a garden. The gardener was chopping off the leaves giving them a shape. Now this is very cruel activity. There were rows of small plants each of same height and size. What will happen if they are allowed to grow on their own? Just like it happens in the forest. Why to chop-off their leaves?? There is a life in those leaves. Those leaves are supposed to live then dry and fell down later. The beauty of garden looks very artificial. Whereas the forest, where plants, trees are naturally allowed to grow looks very natural. No effort is put in the making of a forest. It is created spontaneously. No gardener ever created a forest, but it exists. The forest is created by itself. The garden is created by gardener. A person. With a chopper in hand. I don't enjoy sitting in a garden much. I love anything which has happened spontaneously naturally - the forest. But, there is a danger in the forest from animals. That is where you will feel life. In a garden there is no danger - no lion, no snakes, no insects, so you won't feel the life. Because, everything is known in a garden - that you are safe from lion, snakes. But that's not the case in a forest. In a forest you have to be careful from Snakes, insects and so many other things. There are just too many unknown factor in a forest. So, it becomes a mystery. And life is a mystery. As long as mystery is maintained - life exists. The moment mystery is resolved life becomes boredom. And once it becomes boredom, you have to drag it. And I really think that whole humanity is simply dragging the life hoping for a better tomorrow. And "that tomorrow" never comes. Because, it never came ever. So, keep the mystery alive and live spontaneously. Don't worry, no one will ever know the mystery of life. It's not a problem if we don't know the mystery of life. That's what life's very nature is.

Nature

It doesn't matter whether i am good or not, what matter is whether u r
good or not. Buddha was a good person, perhaps the best ever, but it
didn't matter much to the humanity. Humanity is doong same shit
irrespective of buddha. Because humanity is a big thing. 6 billion.
And buddha knew it. I am not in favour of imdividual enlightenment.
However i believe that if something has never happened in the history
it will never happen in the future. Commumal enlightenment has never
happen in the history of human civilization. So it will never happen
in the future.
There r just too many ppl on the earth. And every body has his/her
prejudices. This situation may be the demand of existence itself.
Because natute always exist in its completeness. The sun is created.
Now nothing can be done about it. Every morning the sun rises in the
east and this event is complete. There is no scope of improvement in
it. That is the reasom i do not favour development. I favour
existence. Not the development. I support to be an observer not a
developer. U need to be a very careful observer of the nature. Just
watch the nature around you. You can see the existence is manifested
in a very beautiful manner. Watch the dawn - the first ray of the sun.
The song of birds. The sound of the river at night. The forest. Random
trees. The fragrance of the flower. See how plant sucks the soil from
it's roots and spread the fragrance in the atmosphere. Isn't it a
miracle. It is. It is a great miracle. The soil has no fragrance.
Flower has fragrance. But flower will not exist without soil. Look at
the survival extinct of the flower. The whole of existence must have
supported the flower to spread the fragrance. It is a miracle.
Impossible has become possible. Normally we dont realize it because we
take things for granted. The is the message of existence. Undetstand
the nature. Behave naturally. I have never lived life like a
pretender. I dont know how to pretend. When i feel happy i am happy.
When i dont feel happy, i am not happy. That is as simple as this. Due
to my this attitude i am treated little differently among my friends.
I have never followed crowed, being in crowd. My whole life is
experimental. I want to taste both good and bad. I am good. I am bad.
I am.

Buddha's sleep

Anand lived with buddha for many years, for years he slept near
buddha. One morning he asked buddha, "for years i have been watching
you sleep. Not once do you ever change sides; you sleep the whole
night in the same position. Your limbs stay where they were when you
laid down at night; there is not even slightest movement. Many times i
have got up at night to check whether you have moved. I have stayed up
nights watching you - your hands, your feet, rest in the same
position; you never ever change sides. Do you keep some kind of a
record of your sleep the whole night?"
"I dont need to keep records," Buddha replied. I sleep in a conscious
state, so i find no need to change sides. I can if i want to. "

Lesson - we should be aware of even our sleep. Means be always aware.

A man in the paradise

Once a man was traveling, accidentally he entered paradise. In the Indian concept of paradise there are wish-fulling trees there Kalptarus. You just sit underneath them, desire anything and immediately it is fulfilled - there is no gap between the desire and it's fulfillment. There is no gap between a thought and a thing. You think and immediately it becomes thing; the thought materializes automatically.

The man was tired, so he fell asleep under a Kalptaru, a wish-fulling tree. When he woke-up he was feeling very hungry, so he simply said, "I'm feeling so hungry. wish I could get some food from somewhere." And immediately food appeared out of no where - just floating in the air, delicious food.

He was so hungry that he didn't pay attention to where it had come from - when you are hungry you are not philosophic. He immediately started eating, and the food was so delicious that he was caught up in the food. Once his hunger was gone. He looked around. Now that he was feeling very satisfied another thought arose in him. "If I could get some drink..." -- and there is still no prohibition in the paradise. Immediately precious wine appeared.

Drinking the wine relaxedly in the cool breeze of paradise under the shade of the tree, he started wondering, "What is the matter? What is happening? Have I fallen into a dream, or are some ghosts around and playing tricks with me?" And Lo - ghost appeared, ferocious ghosts, horrible, nauseating. Then he started trembling, and a thought arose in him: "Now I am sure to be killed. the people are going to kill me."

He was killed.

The socks

A merchant went to a farmer to get a pound of butter. The farmer insisted on swapping the butter for a pair of wollen socks. When the merchant reported this to his wife, she said - i'll unravel some wool from our bedspread and knit him pair of socks. When it was finished a pair socks was exchanged for a pound of butter.
When the merchant needed more butter, his wife again unravelled more of the bedspread and knit more socks, which were exchanged for butter. Finally she had enough wool for one sock. The merchant took the sock to farmer and asked for half pound of butter for it.
"Nothing doing", replied the farmer. "I'll give you a full pound of butter. You see, I really dont wear socks. My wife unravels the wool and uses it for knitting a bedspread, and there's just enough in this one sock to finish it. "

Our teachers

Remember our middle school teachers. Our high school teachers. When they were busy molding us for a better future. To become a better human being. When they were teaching us don't do this, don't do that, do this, do that, don't lie, live happily together, share your happiness blah blah blah. As if he has followed all of them. After following all of them he became a middle school teacher. I am not against any middle school teacher. As they are victims of their teachers. Their middle school teachers taught them the same nonsense. And they are simple passing down to generations and generations. They programmed us to live in the future which is the very basis of mind. We have been singing same song "Ham honge kaamyaab ek din". But when? When will this song be over. And I tell you - we want to wait for ultimate success but we really don't want to achieve it. Because, once you achieve the ultimate you have nothing to do. So in the waiting it seems there is a journey. But we have been waiting waiting waiting that one day some miracle will happen. Waiting for a better tomorrow. This is what humanity have been doing from day one.

I wanted to meet an ordinary person. Have you met an ordinary person lately. A simple person. I would really love to meet him/her. Now a days everybody has become extraordinary. There is a push to become extraordinary. No one is happy with what he is. Everybody wants to become what he is not. Say I want X amount of cash in my Bank. I work hard and achieve it. Now I want 2X amount of money. I work even more harder and make 2X. Now I again want do double it. Again work or work hard and make it 4X and so on. And then death takes away everything from you. Whatever you are doing is true only when man is immortal.

The world would have been full of gardens, full of cheerful contented people. Existence doesn't need much. It's fully contented. That's the reason I wanted to meet an ordinary person. But you can always see a child. Jesus said - "Thou shalt not go to kingdom of god unless you become like a child." A child has all the qualities of an enlightened being. Observe a child very carefully. A child has no prejudices, you are full of that. Only thing you have is the prejudices borrowed from others and nothing else. That's the very basis of ego. A newly born child is fully enlightened. Can you imagine his/her mind? - utterly empty.
