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.

The path of enlightenment
There are many paths. But the destination is same. This is in layman's term - when you need a path. A milestone. A journey...A voyage. However, someone can simply transcend it. At the end, to transcend is the only way. Transcend to the extent that nothing is left to transcend. Look at the history. How it originated. Moment by moment the future is converted into the past. I've lived moment by moment. Second by second. First second goes...I see it...then second second goes I witness and then third second goes I witness it and it continues indefinitely....This is the point of knowledge. An observation. An acute observation. To you it might appear as an stupidity. It has to appear like a stupidity. That's how the society has evolved. The society is least worry about the evolution of human consciousness. To society, future is the most important. We all work for better future. Don't' we? We do. All our endeavor leads towards the making of a better future. A better place. That's the reason we have so many stories, so many dreams starts with "One Day". Society has only shown us a dream. Our happiness lies into the future which doesn't exist. Remember this present was future in the past and if we are not happy now that means the dream in the past was wrong. That makes this very present moment wrong because present moment was the future in the past. That further means that every moment is something wrong. So the assumption that happiness lies the future itself is a bullshit concept. But when you say happiness lies in the present moment. It makes absolute sense. This is what is the final reality. And present moment happens by itself. It's a pure flow. There is no scope of contamination in the present moment. Because, it's continuously changing. The moment you try to contaminate it, it becomes history. And history is dead. Absolutely dead. There is absolutely no way out to change the history. No scientist can do that. However time exists in multi-dimensional form. It can be changed in some other dimension. Possible. But makes no difference to reality. And if you go even more deep...all problem simply disappears. So very fundamentally, problems do not exist. However, it does exist at the non-fundamental level. Buddha's first statement was - "there are problems". Actually he is referring to the problems at the non-fundamental level of existence. Secondly he says - "there are reason behind problems". Again he is referring to non-fundamental reasons. The moment you know the root. All problems vanish. This is what he is trying to say. He took 6 years to understand this. But, then he understood that, that was momentarily. Suppose you are going from Bangalore to kolkata. It makes 2.5 hours to reach Kolkata. But the moment you landing kolkata will be momentarily. That will be instantaneous. In a second it will happen. However, it took 2.5 hours of time to reach kolkata. But you landed at Kolkata at very particular instant. That instant is important. This is what happened with Buddha on his day of enlightenment. If you do what Buddha did just before his enlightenment. You will be enlightened too. Because, that's when he is landing into the infinite. That's the reason I say - At the transition, simply transcend. If you copy Buddha for 6 years. You may not achieve his level. But of you just copy what he did on his day of enlightenment - there is high chance of achieving good spiritual status. And above all it has to be simple. Truth has to be simple and beautiful. And easy also. Of course on the cost of evolved consciousness. Nature has a plan. It goes by it's plan. Don't interfere nature's plan. In Gee ta Krishna says - "Work but don't worry about fruit". Now this is great statement. Perhaps one of the best every observed by humanity. what it means essentially is that nature is Infinite. That's why you don't worry. Only finite things would cause worry. So, moment you start realizing your surrounding as part of that infinite you would be free from Karma and that's when you don't worry about it. You have to be free from Karma. Then only you cannot worry about it. And you can be free if it is not your Karma. So if you assume that it's Karma of nature - you needn't to worry. And actually that's how it is. Nature has evolved in such a manner that it will do Karma for it's survival. Karma has never stopped. But that is the demand of nature. That's the very fundamental nature of the nature. You have nothing to do in that. Karma just happen because of fundamental property of the nature. You as a free soul have no stake in that. So what do you do in this case. As Krishna says - Don't worry about fruit. How can you don't worry about fruit - Just observe. Just witness. That is the fundamental philosophy of Karma.

Destiny
You know what is destiny? It was a beautiful word, almost as beautiful as the word God. But, unfortunately this word has been deprecated by the society. Infact, society deprecated anything which can inadvertently open the doorway to super-consciousness. Since, very beginning, from day 1, the society is against of anything which enables the access to super-consciousness. Jesus was crucified, such a lovely person was crucified. Socrates was poisoned. Society has sent pain to every extraordinary human. The core of the meaning of destiny is - Everything is happening by itself and you just have to observer it. We have not created the sun, the moon, the bird, the tree but, all these exist. So, who created all these? These are all created by the destiny. We should not have much take towards the creation of destiny - except observing it. Practical meaning of destiny is to observe what's happening around. We don't have to do anything and sun rises in the east automatically. These are all fixed by the destiny. We don't have to put an effort to make the sun rising in the east. It rises in the east automatically. It never forgets to rise. Lol. It's a miracle. Since it happens daily we think it's an ordinary activity, we don't acknolwdge it but, actually it's not. It's miracle. Look around you and everything is a miracle. Suppose, a blind man of age 70 years suddenly gets the power to see into his eyes. What will he see? He will see so many colors which he had never seen. The green grass, the blue sky, these birds flying. He won't believe it at first glace. He may become mad to see all these colorful diversification. We don't acknowledge these as a miracle because we see them daily. But, these are actually miracle. Which no magician or scientist can perform. Destiny doesn't mean palmistry or astrology. But, yes there is a correlation to some extent. Palmistry and astrology was invented so that people understand the real meaning of destiny which I described above. But, unfortunately they couldn't understand the real meaning of destiny instead they became heavily dependent on destiny. Destiny frees you, from the bondage of karma. Because, it's happening by itself. Childhood came and went. We never wanted to leave childhood and we left it. Everything has happened which we never wanted to happen. Nobody wants to die and everybody dies. This is fixed by destiny.

Philosophy and Practical
You do anything and it will become frustrating one day. I tried it. Enlightenment is the only thing which will never become frustrating or boring. Because, at the time of enlightenment "I" doesn't exist. Remember one thing- Either you exist or Truth exists. Both cannot exist together. No possibility. At a time only one will exist. Either you or truth. And mostly you exist. Because, truth is so subtle that even the slightest perturbation can wrap the truth. Can hide the truth. That's why society could alter the truth. You never know whose fault it is - it's a truth's fault or it's society's fault. Sometimes, in spite of so much knowledge and understanding about life you still don't know what's happening. I have become bored of knowing the things. Society taught us that the more you know the better you are. According to me the less you know the better you will be which society won't like. Some of the professors didn't like me for the reason I refused to know more. But when I was knowing more, topped in the school they liked me. But their liking was conditional. Anything conditional is ephemeral. Because, that condition can vanish one day.
Coming to practical...
The one very fundamental thing I wanted to state out here is - see, if you understand then you don't have to do anything. You are done. You don't have to do Pranayaam and meditation provided you understand. This called Gyan Yoga. No need to meditate on the Agya Chakra if you understood. And it's so easy to understand that you can't understand. Because, society has always prepared you to understand difficult subject. So, our ability to understand easy thing is lost. Look at the Ramanna Maharshi. He was not a Yogi but still his knowledge was of very high order. However, it's always recommended to meditate and pranayaam. There is no harm in that.
In Hinduism they talk about 7 chakra energy centers. Muladhar, Swadhisthan, Manipur, Anahaat, Vishuddha, Agya and Sahasrar. Eeach center has it's attributes. Meditation on these centers are very helpful. It's said if your Sahasrar is open then you are almost God. These centers are described in the ancient Yoga scriptures. However, as I said - you may not have to know all these once you understand the core of the existence. Because, these are just expansion of the existence. Existence is root. Rest are just details. So, I don't give much stress on Chakra meditation rather I have stresss on the existence. Know the root of the roots. Rest will all follow...

Death - The most taboo word
Why am I writing on Death? On such a taboo subject. Lost a cousin brother :( Chahere bhaiya the. Would be 40 + age group. Today, afternoon my dad called me told this sick news. He used to work in a bank in Ara. He was a good person. Fully inculcated with maithil values. My dad had met with him in Feb'08. Don't know what went wrong and it happened. Perhaps, one of the most sorrowful event of my family. No idea how bhabhi and his kids gonna cope this situation. No idea. Don't know. Will have to clean shave my hair on the head. Anyways, these are just part of life.
Above is the reality. Now coming to philosophical part. I remember in my 10Th class sanskrit book we had yudhishtir and yaksha samwaad. Yaksha ask yudhisthir - Kim aascharyam? That is what is wonder of this world? Yudhishtir says - Everyday people die but, everyone thinks that he/she will never die. This is the biggest wonder of the world. He is rightly saying. Death is the biggest sorrow of life. No body wants to die. Attachment of life is so high that to live people are even ready to die. Everyone wants to live. To not to die they are even ready to die. Life is the biggest attachment. That's why death is the most sorrowful event. However, there are ways to make it a celebration.
All the religions you see has been sprout out of death. It's death which created all the religions. Death is the seed, Religion is the tree, Moksha is the fruit. Buddha saw a dead body, and he left everything. Buddhism came into picture. Nothing was happening to him unless he saw a dead body. The dead body was the point of transition. He saw the dead body and he understood. We also see dead body but we don't understand anything. We see it's not our body and we happily return to our home. But, we all know what's gonna happen one day. It's okay if I say, that dead body was a very important cause behind the creation of Buddhism. Hinduism is also like that. In Hinduism there is a concept of Moksha. Which means liberation from the cycle of birth and death. So death is the central point of all the religion. If people were not dying then we would not have religion probably. It's death which propels us to think what's gonna happen after death. Hinduism believes in re-incarnation. Christianity, Judaism, Islam doesn't believe in re-incarnation. For them there is only one life. That's why they live with full intensity. They have to do everything in this life only. Because, there is only one life. They have to make full use of it. That's one reason they could progressed more. In India, things happen in a relaxed manner. We believe in eternity. We do not believe in single life concept. That's why you won't find Indians that intensive as people in the west. People in the west are always in hurry. Because, they have only one life. Say 100 years. In India, people don't hurry much. Coz they have next life. If something they cant achieve in the current life, they aspire to achieve in the next life. Chalo is janam me nahi to agle janam me hi sahi. Even marriage is done for 7 life time. That is you marry same girl till next 7 life time. Indian's plans can span upto 7 life times. Indians can have plan upto eternity also. Lol.
The whole endeavour is to get released from the cycle of birth and death. This what Hinduism is all about. This is called Moksha. But it doesn't happen so easily. This is probably the most rarest phenomena. It is said for Moksha even the kingdom of whole universe can be dropped. Even the kingdom of whole of the universe is not even parts and partial of Moksha. Moksha means you done. You are supremely free. There is no bondage now. No slavery. No desire. What will you desire? Even the desire of desire is gone. Difficult to achieve. Buddha achieved that. It happens very rarely. Hardly among billions and trillions of people anyone achieve moksha. Buddha was out of any desire. He didn't have any desire left in him. He didn't have even desire to take food. Amazing must be HE. Wanted to meet him. Lol.
Death puts a question mark on our every activity. Suppose, someone is earning, enjoying, eating, shitting, working hard. But why? To die one day? No matter how great we do but we anyway gonna die, gonna be mingled into dust. So why panic. More than 99% of humanity has been working for no reason. Has been working to be finished. Perhaps one reason I could think of is working lets you to forget death temporarily. But, we all know it's gonna happen. Not today, but some day later. By keeping our self busy in work we try to forget death. And we do succeed to some extent. And we keep on neglecting death our whole life. And one day comes and everything get finished. All our sand-castle we had made get destroyed. All the dreams are destroyed. Because, dreams were created. Anything created will be destroyed one day. Nothing remains. Only thing which was never created will be never destroyed. And that's the existence. Existence was never created. Never. It's always there. Except existence everytihng is created. So, they will be destroyed. They will have to destroy. That is one reason I said - Existence is the only God. Eating, earning, sleeping, enjoying, mating and shitting is not the only activity of the life. Death destroyes everything. That's is one reason the whole of humanity has been afraid of death. No body wants to die. I myself wants to live 200 years. Lol. I want to see how would be the world 200 years later from now. What kind of gadgets would be used. etc. But at the end I want to be supremely free. In any case I do not want re-birth. No desire left to learn A, B, C, D again just to dig my own grave. This life will be my last life. The last game. The last drama. The last play. The last barrier.

Oneness With Nature
We are definitely not in oneness with nature. Otherwise, nature should obey us. If you are in oneness with nature then nature would obey you. Suppose, it's raining and you want to go to office. You are wishing if rain would stop. But the rain doesn't stop. And you are late for office. Why doesn't rain stop? Fundamentally, it should stop. Because, you are wishing it to stop. If Jesus wish, it stops. You also wish but it doesn't stop. Why? What is wrong happening? Because, there is a difference between you and Jesus. Jesus was in oneness with whole of the nature. He was nature himself. He respect nature and it's existence. That's why nature obeys him. Winds obeys his words, birds talk to him etc. No body obeys you. Because, you yourself don't obey yourself. What others will obey you. But, when you are in oneness with whole of the existence, then no one can disobey you. Then wind will listen your directions. Then bird will sing for you. Then monkeys will give you bowl of honey just like they gave to Buddha. Then whole nature will dance for you. That is what happened with Jesus. He brought life back to a dead girl. Amazing.
The reason why nature doesn't obey you is because of inertia. For example you cant disobey Newton's law. In general you cannot. But that doesn't mean under no circumstances you can disobey Newton's laws. If that is the case then Newton's laws are truth. Because, truth cannot be disobeyed. Newton's laws are indeed truth but partial truth. These laws can be disobeyed. Because the core of the existence is even more subtler than the cause which governs Newton's laws. Subtler will be powerful. So, if you have access to the core of the existence then you should be able to bend Newton's laws. Not only Newton's laws, but any laws. And in fact Newton's laws doesn't work at very high speed and within atoms. Subtler can always bend grosser.

Abstraction
Simple is beautiful. Abstraction is like an ocean. It has no end. It goes on and on...Abstraction is an aspect of totality. However, you can still treat abstraction as the genesis of the whole creation. It's so abstract that it becomes causal. Abstraction can be basis. So abstract that it become useless. Usefulness is not abstraction. There is no direct use of God that's why God is an abstract concept. So abstract that mind cannot comprehend. If mind can comprehend the abstraction then mind is greater than the abstraction. At some point of time mind has to stop. From there onwards the layers of abstraction starts. To me there is no difference between God and Abstractions. God = Abstraction. God is perhaps the most abstract concept ever created which is still working flawlessly. One of the definition of God in the Hinduism is - Not this Not this. What it means is whatever you see through your eyes, whatever you hear through you ear, whatever you smell through your nose, basically whatever you sense is not God. This is negative abstraction. Keep on negating. Negate to the extent that there is nothing left to negate any more. If something is still left to negate then know that that's not the state of God. That is one kind of abstraction. The another definition says - Everything is God. Sarvam Khalvidam. Now this is positive abstraction. Assimilate that everything is God. And if you think that everything is God except just one atom then know that you don't know God. It has to go to extreme. Either nothing is God or Everything is God. In that extremity of abstraction you find God. That is one reason I said love everybody. Everybody. If you hate even a single person in the entire universe that means you hate the whole of creation itself. Because, that person is part of creation. Whole creation is sustaining him. One of the biggest unfortune of the humanity was the disintegration of sense of belongingness. We think we are separate. We think that we exist as a separate independent entity. That was what society has taught us. And society became full of morons and pervs. Remember one thing whatever ideology and understanding you have is not yours. You are taught to think like that. That's why you think like that. It's not your thinking. It's thinking of society. Society is a strange thing. You can treat society like a human. Society takes birth, society grows and become young, and one day it dies. It may so happen that society doesn't want to survive for some reason. This is what happened with Roman civilization. It got fully extinct. If Roman civilization can extinct then anything can extinct. That I believe.You are taught to think that whatever you think is your thinking. So, that's not your thinking. The point I am trying to make is we all are connected to same source. It's like this - tide might think that he is separated from the ocean. But when tide exist as a separate entity it dies down into the ocean. But the moment tide realizes that I am the ocean itself. Then there is no question of dying. We are exactly like those tides waving the lap of consciousness. But of ego we think that we exist as a separate entity. And that everyone thinks. This is where the root problem comes. Do not slot the existence. Slotting has always created problems. It's all one - it has to be integrated. This is what is the true meaning of Abstraction I am talking in this post. Abstraction means integrated. Abstraction means united entity. Together. We grow together. One person growing and rest all going to grave makes no sense to me. Everybody has to grow together towards the perfection. Because we all are same. Jesus said "I and my father are same". What does it mean? He is simply saying that we all are same. Same existence is everywhere. Be it for Jesus, be it for you. Only difference between you and Jesus is that Jesus know that he and his father are same. But you know that you and your father are not same. But it doesn't affect the existence by any means. The abstract pure nature of existence demands that whole humanity has to grow together. This is what is the constraint to be met for happy humanity. Till today we have not met this constraint. There were many theologians many philosopher. Be it Socrates, Plato, Lao Tse, Arvind, Vivekanand or anyone. No body could ever understand this concept of universal equanamity which demands every individual to be happy. This is the innate nature of whole creation. Because creation is not slotted. It's not digital, it's analogue. This demands every individual to be happy. This is one aspect of abstraction. There are other aspects as well. In fact there are many aspect. It can goes on and on....It won't end. The aspect I described is part of the existence. And is stable. That means some another aspect working parallel is trying to nullify the cause of dissolution of the former aspect. That is why so many people differs in their theology. Because there exists many parallel abstractions. Mind you - it's not one abstraction. At a time there exist many parallel abstraction cooperating themselves in sustaining whole of the existence. Now different people has different power to perceive the abstractions. That is why their ideology differs. Their understanding differs. Still at some point of time it has to be brought under umbrella of single abstraction.
More on abstractions later...

Intelligent people - Updated
To have a happy world we don't need intelligent people. We need contented people. Loving people. Intelligent alone cannot bring happiness. Intelligence alone is like an ash. Unless it is wrapped by love it will rot day by day. Why we have such a perverted civilization? We have been consistently working to attain peace, love and Harmony for last 5000 years. But still we have no trace of love, happiness and Harmony yet. Our endeavour of 5000 years went in vain. Total waste I would say. In the last 5000 years we have hardly created few people who attained peace. What went wrong? So, what is the possibility that in the next 5000 years we will have peace? Only thing we have thought so far is - "It will happen one day". But it never happened. That day never came.
हमने हमेशा से यही गीत गएँ हैं - "हम होंगे कामयाब एक दिन"। और वो दिन कभी नही आया। हमारे गीत होने चाहियें - "हम हैं कामयाब"। समाज ने हमें सिर्फ़ भविष्य की तरफ़ ही धकेला है। सबकुछ मिलेगा लेकिन भविष्य मे। अभी कुछ नही मिलेगा तुम्हे। लेकिन बाद मे सब मिलेगा। कल मिलेगा। और वो कल कभी नही आता है। सदियाँ बीत जाती हैं और वो कल नही आता है। आएगा भी नही। समाज ने कभी भी वर्तमान को नही पहचाना है। समाज की सारी अवधारणायें भविष्य मे होती है। इसलिए तो ऐसे गीत गाये जाते हैं- "हम होंगे कामयाब एक दिन।" गीत लिखने वाले को यह ठीक से पता होना चाहिए की "कब होंगे कामयाब"। एक दिन से कोई अर्थ नही निकलता है। मान लो अरबों खरबों वर्षों के बाद कामयाब हों तो क्या फायदा - हम तो रहंगे नही उस कामयाबी को देखने के लिए। तो फिर उस कामयाबी मे क्या रखा है। कामयाब हों या न हों सब बराबर है। हमें कामयाब अभी होना है। भविष्य मे नही।
Remember one thing - no matter how great device you make, how intelligent device you make, how great service you provide, they can't make you happy. Devices/Services doesn't bring happiness. Intelligence doesn't bring happiness. We made so many devices - computer, laptop, mobile, airplane, car, Internet etc. We still have problems, we still have anarchy, we still have terrorism, we still have poverty. So, that clearly signifies that intelligence doesn't bring happiness. Happiness is inside. Within you. I have never met an intelligent cum happy person. It will be just slight exaggeration if I say - intelligence and happiness are antonyms. Just slight exaggeration.
The bigger problem, even bigger than the intelligence is the ego. Ego is the cause of all problems. The reason why society failed in reducing people's ego is transcendental nature of ego. Ego goes very deep. Ego is not only that what you read into psychology books. It almost touches to the existence level. Truth is the positive existence. Ego is the negative existence. Truth and ego are both at almost same level. But one is positive another is negative. And at a time only one is active. Unless you become supremely free, you are on negative existence. that is - on ego. Ego is the substrate on which our entire consciousness is doped. What these supremely free people do is - they cut that substrate. When that substrate of ego is cut what remains is the positive existence - that is truth. Society has no idea how to cut that substrate of ego. It's not taught in the school or colleges or universities. Infact, society will never teach you anything which might inadvertently enables you to cut that substrate of ego. Whenever that substrate of ego is cut - truth prevails. Until then it's all dark.
The reason why we have such a perverted civilization is that society never taught us "how to love". They never taught us how to accept the situation as it is. We have not created these winds, these sands, these air, these sky these forest, these animals, birds. So, why using all these. You can use, but you have to pay the cost. Nature never gives anything in the free. Although we have so much scientific development but humans are the most perverted animal. That's the cost I was talking. We progressed, but at the cost of perverted civilization. Another animals have equal rights to use natural resources. We have taken away homes of tigers, lions, elephant and put them into zoo. What a shhit activity! We kill them to make our shoes, to have food. Where your home is now should probably would have home of a lion. Lol. All these things gonna come back to us. In any form. It will definitely come. That's my prediction. Infact, it has started coming. Global warming, flood and so many other environmental problems have started.
The biggest unfortune I would say is - incomplete knowledge. Society never analyzed anything completely. Everything has happened in a haphazard manner. Look at your life. Hasn't everything happened in a hurry? As if a train was missing. It doesn't matter if you miss a train, there is always a next train. So, why hurrying? To my knowledge society has never thought with cool and calm mind even for a fraction of second. Incomplete knowledge is dangerous. Your intelligent mind always gives you incomplete knowledge. Ask why? Because, if intelligence impart complete knowledge then, there is no use of intelligence. Because,knowledge is complete. Now you don't need more intelligence to know more knowledge. That's why intelligence always impart incomplete knowledge. The only way to know the complete knowledge is to accept, is to observe, is to achieve egoless state. Try to understand the word achieve. Don't fight with the existence. No body could ever fight. Do not resist. Just accept. All things will be fine.
That was the theory. But there is an additional constraint here. I think in one of my previous post I mentioned this. We have had few happy people. Buddha was happy, Jesus was happy. But , that's not enough. Because, the constraint is - in order to have happy humanity everybody has to be happy. Even a single unhappy person can make whole humanity unhappy. Unhappiness is more viral than happiness. So, basically every body has to become like Buddha. We never met this constraint. That's why so far have unhappy and stumbling humanity.

Understanding a person
It takes time to understand a person. How much time? It depends on many factors. It's very difficult to understand a person from day 1. For that you have to spend some time with that person. The biggest problem in this is you don't know what's running into his brain. That's invisible. What you have is just a cognitive perception of him/her. You have no idea of what he/she is thinking. It's not easy to think what other's think.
A person, a living person is a complex creature. Especially his brain, his mind. If you unfold his mind you would get lots of dreams (both fulfilled and unfulfilled) there. When a person is not sleeping a constant amount of thinking is always going on. And it goes deep inside into consciousness. Which can be seen when unfolded. There are layers of dreams upon dreams. Everything is possible in the dream world. Dream plays very significant role in our life. We all dreams. What we cannot achieve in the real life, we can achieve in the dream world. And it happens. At least it happens to me. If we don't dream there is a possibility that we may become mad. Dream allows you to achieve what you can't in the real life. Say I want to have a hot date with Katrina Kaif. Now in the real world it's not possible. But in the dream world, in the fantasy world it's possible. And trust me - you would never know which one is real. May be dream world is real and this world is unreal. Lol. The point I am trying to make is dreams are very important which simply complements our failures, inability of real world. So keep dreaming!!! ;)
Understanding a person can be more difficult than understanding any scientific laws. Because person changes. He changes second by second. A living human being mind is extremely complex and always remains in the constant pensive/thinking mood. As if he is resisting something from inside. He tries to resist the natural evolutions from within. The more person is educated and grown up the more resistive he comes. And whenever you'd resist you would become tired. Resistance brings tiredness. Acceptance brings happiness. The choice is yours. Look at the children. Have you seen a tired dull child. I haven't. They are always playful and energetic. Because they don't resist. They accept the existence as it is. For example - after a journey young people are tired but a child is not tired. Because he was not trying to resist in the journey. He was not trying to disobey newton's third law. We young people always tries to disobey. That's why we become tired. We disobey nature. Out of your ego. Drop this ego, it will ruin you one day.
I have seen a person changes even on his very fundamental idealogy. The person is same, but now he talks different of what he was talking in the past. He has no idea of what he has said in the past. Very few consistent people I have met. The reason why this happens is the person is not aware of his consciousness, of his existence. He just goes on with the situation. Situation drives him. But when you are aware you would drive the situation. And when you are the driver then you know what you are driving - you would be consistent. So, I can say - Awareness brings consistency.

Adjectives, Adverbs, Qualifiers
If I were the king of the world, I would simply remove adjectives and adverbs from dictionary and grammar. Whosoever created the concept of adjectives and adverbs must be a moron. I hate these qualifiers. I hate them so much that I cannot describe. I hate both good and bad. I look in between good and bad. Buddha's philosophy of middle path is spectacular. Middle path simply ask you to transcend. At the ambiguity, transcend. At the transition, transcend. Transcend these adjectives, these qualifiers, these modifiers. Suppose someone says - "I am happy". Now this statement is wrong. To me it's wrong. It doesn't make any sense. Because there is qualifier of existence - "happy". You are trying to qualify, to attribute the existence. That's impossible. Existence doesn't has any attributes or qualifiers associeted with it. I have problems in saying even - "I am". I am not even comfortable in saying "I am". "I am" is a wrong statement. For me it's wrong. I am not talking about you. Because there two things - one is "I" and other is "am". So that means "I" is separate from "am". "I" and "am" has to be together. So I merged it. I am slightly comfortable in saying just "I" or only "am". Little bit okay. At least better than "I am". Say someone says "He is a good boy". This statement is a headache. The word "good" is a pain here. It will confuse the boy. Because someone else can say "He is a bad boy". To some person he is good, to some he can be bad also. So, the boy is confused in this case. He doesn't know what he is. He got conflicting feedback from society. This is when he needs to transcend. That's why I said - "At the ambiguity, transcend. At the confusion, transcend". If he doesn't transcend these feedback his personality will be mixture of good and bad. He will be a confused personality. This happened to me. In my student life I got feedback from my teachers - "I have never seen a student like you". But some said in positive sense. Some said in the negative sense. I got confused what I am. That's how society confuses you. They will give you conflicting feedback. So, simply transcend it. And be happy (:=)

Is everything predestined?
If I say everything is predestined then I am not able to find any flaw in it. I was thinking to comeup with a statement that can approximately describe the nature. So, if I say whatever is happening, whatever happened and whats gonna happen - all are predestined. Is there any flaw in this? So, far I am not able to find discrepancy in this statement. Basically it's saying something like 1=1. But the same time you can also say nothing is predestined. It's equivalent to say 1 != 2. These statements are so trivial that it essentially contains no information. It's too trivial. And perhaps God is too trivial. So, when you say everything is predestined or nothing is predestined makes absolutely no difference. These are just another layer of logic. One is positive logic - Everything is predestined. Another is negative logic - Nothing is predestined. And in totality both logic nullifies each other. And that's where truth prevail. That was one reason I had said everything has a cost associated with it. Say someone creates a multi billion $ company. But he creates that at the cost of working hard, working at odd hours. Here his success is positive logic. And his hard working at odd hours is negative logic. Both logic exist together. You need to have an insight to decipher both the logic and look in between the logic - that is middle path. That's what Buddha meant by following middle path. He is simply asking you to transcend both positive and negative logic. Then you don't have to follow middle path explicitly. The moment you transcend both positive and negative logic you will be following middle path and truth will prevail.
Success
What is success? To me it's totally relative. In general, making money, fame and prestige is what is termed as success. The more money you have, the more successful you are, in general. Success has a parameter associated with it. Someone may be successful on one parameter but may be totally failure on other parameter. Success is predominantly determined by society. And anything which is determined by society is false (to me). May not be for you. But to me it's false. Most of the time success doesn't matter to me. I give zero value to academic and professional success. To me success means self-realization. Because, academic and professional success are ephemeral. One day it won't be there. Self-realization will be always there - that is existence. Except existence everything is crap. It has to be crap. Even if I solve the most sternest problem of mathematics it wont gonna help me or you. Say I solve NP-hard problem. If I decide to solve it won't take me much to solve it. Say I give you the unified general theory in physics which can describe the nature. So what? It's not gonna solve the problem. To me it will be just re-discovering the wheel in a wrong manner. That's why I am no going into this business. I am just taking a shorter and better route. I accept the problem. I accept NP hard problem. I don't solve NP hard problem. Because, essentially a problem doesn't exist. In the existence there is no NP hard problem. Whatever problem we face that's flaw in our own system, in our own assumption. If you make a faulty rather I should say incomplete number system that will create intractable problem. Change you number system, that is the way you count, intractability will be lost. So, all the problem you see can be pointed to some flaws, some anomalies in the basic system we created. Existence has no anomalies. All anomalies are created by human. That's why we have so many intractable problems. If I have to define success then - Success means innocency, cheerfulness, happiness (I am assuming demand of survival is met). Usually what you call a success is actually the demand of survival. It's day by day survival. Assuming you have no problem in survival then success is love, compassion, happiness, joy, innocency. Remember- if you know that you are innocent then you are not innocent.

Who am I
Friday night is an idle time to talk about philosophy ;)
This is what Upanishads ask - Who am I? Of course, life is not just about earning, eating, mating, shitting and sleeping. Definitely it has some purpose. Ramanna maharshi whole his life long he pondered over - Who am i? Single question. He just tried to find the answer of this single question. Whole life at Arunachal ranges, that's what he did. Who am I? What you are trying to do is - you are trying to find answer of many questions. You are trying to do more than what you can do. You ask questions, but that leads you no where. One answer arise another question. And it goes on and on. Then it starts forming a chain. A very long chain of questions. In a nebulous manner. Out of no reason, we just can't take human body and start doing nonsense. It definitely has some purpose.
From where we came? We came due to our parent's physical interaction. A physical interaction created a soul? Fleshial movement can create soul? Looks strange. So where were we before our birth? What's our true age? Don't think your age is just how much old your body is. It is actually infinite. When someone ask my age, sometimes I get into trouble. What a stupid question is he asking. He should ask what is the age of your body? Not yours age. Because, I was existent even before my physical birth. So, the question that - what is your age is wrong. If at all someone ask this stupid question - say him Infinite. Lol.
The world you see is expressed. You can feel it by your five senses. We have no idea of anything beyond these five senses. Even mind is part of one sense. The universe you see exist till where our senses goes. After that it's unexpressed. It can't be understood. So there is an interface of between expressed and unexpressed. One side of that interface is expressed - that is your universe you see and feel by your senses. The otherside is totally unexpressed. The expressed side need sun to lighten it. Unexpressed side doesn't need anything. There moonlit night happens without moon. Difficult to imagine, don't try to do that - it will make you mad. That interface is very important. Mind you, in the unexpressed universe there is no concept of time or space. It's fully transcendental. So, that interface somehow converts unexpressed into expressed and expressed into unexpressed. That's how it balance. I can't give you an equation governing this phenomena. But, something like that definitely happens. Even science as of toay is a baby to grasp this concept. But one day science will understand what I am talking. Science will take at least billions of year to reach to the point I am talking. I am talking at interface level. Science is fully expressed. Since has no concept of unexpressed. It's impossible to have expressed without unexpressed. That's one reason science is unable to give a unified general theory which describe the nature. If something works in relativity it fails in quantum and vice versa. Because, science has no concept of unexpressed. Sciency tries to analyze everytihng in a expressed manner. Even it tries to express the unexpresssed. Lol. Unexpressed is at the substratum of the universe. It's due to unexpressed, this expressed universe is balanced. Else, all the atoms will disintegrate to it's source - that is unexpressed. Someone is holding the electrons to nucleus. How does electron know that it has to revolve around nucleus day and night nonstop. I know all those electromechanical force crap operating between them that's causing them to revolve. But the question is why this force is active? Why doesn't this force cease to exist. There is definitely someone who is applying this force. I call it God's will. Due to God's will those electrons are held by nucleus. Forget all those electromechanical crap you studied in your school physics book. Those were just holy crap. Lol.
Unless you know your source. You know nothing. More than 99% of your knowledge are just bookish or gathered from someone or learnt from someone. Develop your own expression. Don't copy. Know your source. Try to find from where this feeling of I-ness is arising? Actually, you don't see your real I-ness. What you see is your own egoistic manifestation on I-ness. Remove these temporary cloud of ego. And let this real I-ness shine. Once again I will clary between Ego and I-ness. Ego is your own manifestation. That's your own calculation. I-ness is universal manifestation. Fundamentally, the very same I-ness is condensed to take the form of Ego. And it sometimes is so strong that it questions on the existence of I-ness (by taking hidden power from I-ness). That's what you have been doing for centuries.

Routine of a Yogi
I was thinking how much it takes to start a new religion. A unified religion. If I do couple of passover meals, few miracles, if few monkey comes and give me bowl of honey, if I go to battle field and make everybody my disciple, If I bring back life to a dead man, if winds start obeying me, if I am crucified on a Jews Cross, If my baptist declare me son of god at Jordan river, are these enough, if I know my apostle will betray me, if i profound my own truth. Perhaps no. It won't be that easy to start a new religion now. In fact none of the religion was started by prophets. When they die, it's their disciple who creates religion. Then John, Mark, Luke, Mathew start writing new testament. Then Roman caesar will change it the way they want. Then he will create pope which will create a huge propaganda of prayers. That he will pray for you and he will take you to kingdom of Godhead via Jesus. That's one reason catholics hate meditation. In meditation you are simply bypassing them. You are simply bypassing pope and Jesus and even God. You yourself connecting yourself to your source. None of the religion wants you to do that. Then what's the role of Pope and priest if you are directly able to connect to God. They will become unemployed. Lol. In Hinduism Upanishads allows you to do that. You know - temple priest hate Upanishads like anything. Because Upanishads will simply take away his job. And what to speak of Ashtavakra. They would get mad to see Ashtavakra geeta. Lol.
I again started philosophy. Philosophy apart. This post is all about life style of a Yogi. So here it goes:
He should wake up at dawn. At 4:30 am. He should go to river performs calls of nature, take bath there. Then he should start practising Yogasan. He should sit on Kushagrass. This is just to have an insulating material underneath. Otherwise there is possibility of energy getting grounded to the earth. Then he should perform Asan. Padmasan, siddhasan mayursan, chakrasan, paschimottanasan, sarvangasan, sheersasan etc. He should fouces on his breath while doing asan. Then he should to Pranayam. Before that he should do Nadi shodhan kriya. This is must before doing pranayam. Then he should do pranayam - kapalbhati, ujjai, bhastrika etc. Then he should do pratyaaahar. That is contracting consciousness within. Just like a tortoise contracts his legs. Then he should dharna. There is snkalp involved in dharna. It could be anything. Then he should do meditation. The savikalp samadhi should happen. Then nirvikalp samadhi should happen. That's one session from asan to samadhi. Then he should do his/her daily work. Like going office, going school college etc. At work place he should neither work too hard or too less. Then in the evening he should again do one session from Asan to samadhi. He should not eat meat, spicy, rotten, food. He should eat lots of butter, fresh fruits nut, grains etc. Yogis best food is rice cooked into clarified milk. He should not eat too much. Nor too less. He should treat every woman as his sister or mother except one. He should live a plain life. Simple life. Not too much of expectations. He should avoid greediness and cleverness. He should be always happy and cheerful. He should follow strict brahmcharya. He should not watch TV and vulgur scene. At night he should pray to god for giving him a wonderful day. Then he should rest on the lap of sleeping mother.
Above was for Patanjali Yogi. I mean those who follow patanjali yogi. Now coming to those who want to follow Ashtavakra geeta. He should do what he is doing. Coz, whatever he is doing is part of existence. He doesn't need to do pranayam, dhyan described above. Just little bit of understanding is enough. It can happen within a second. Ashatavakra says within a second you can be englightened. That's why I say where Patanjali ends, Ashtavakra starts. Patanjali ends at samadhi, Ashtavakra starts at samadhi. Huge difference. Jameen aur aasman k aantar hai.
So, friends choice is yours - Patanjali or Ashtavakra.
God Bless!

Simplification of Truth
We have many prophets. Every body profounded their truth. Jesus said - "Love is god", "Knock and it will opened" etc. Buddha said that 8 rules. Everybody profounded something right? What they profounded was correct. Very correct. No body can question on that. So, what does it mean exactly? Does it mean that those who don't follow their principles won't get truth. No, that's the not the case. Truth is even more simpler. More than what they stated. Today, I am going to profound my truth. Which none of the prophet profounded ever. Mind you, I am not saying they were wrong. They were all right. There must be some reason why they didn't tell you. Or may be they told but it was not documented anywhere. Propaganda. But, now I will reveal that truth to the whole world. And it is so simple that you would be surprised. But before I do that I will describe another view of the truth they profounded.
Take example of Jesus. He said - "Love is GOD". So, that means he is asking you to love everybody. That is love as much you can. Right? If you do so, you would attain truth. That's true. But what if one doesn't do so. He won't get the truth? All prophet says if you follow my guidelines you will get truth. But they don't say if you don't follow what will happen. Right? They didn't tell you that whole universe is in the process of natural evolution. So, even if you don't follow them you would get truth but sometime later. May be next life, next to next life...When you follow their guidelines, you get truth faster. Which you were to get in thousands of life time, you can get in this current life. That's what they are saying to you. Their teaching will only speed up the process. And trust me, it doesn't matter you attain the truth today or billion years later. Time has infinite existence. Somewhere in the future you will hit the truth. Even if you don't follow any path, you would be part of natural evolution. But, it will happen slowly. On it's own. You don't have to do anything. Even if you hate everyone - doesn't matter. Your hating is part of existence, and when it will spread across infinite existence of time it will fade away. Everything will fade away ultimately, be it good or bad. Only difference these Prophets make is that they accelerate the natural evolution I just described. There are many reason this knowledge was not downpoured in any religion. This knowledge is so powerful that it has power to eradicate all the religions and prophets and Gods or anything. That's why it was not told to you. But, now I revealed that knowledge which had been laying in my heart since many years. Trust me, they didn't tell you many thing. Many things were left for you to understand. They just gave you a push, an impulse. After that it's all yours.
Ashtavakra was quite close to what I am saying. He said every thing is happening on it's own, just observe them. Be the observer. I am saying even if you don't become observer - still OK. So, whatever you are doing (good or bad) is OK. Go ahead with that. Just do (good or bad). Don't worry whether you are doing good or bad. Whatever you do is OK. Your good and bad deeds will fade away in the infinite existence of time. And whatever is there in your consciousness that's anyway part of existence. And only existence is all there is!!!So here I am simplifying the truth for you:
"Whatever you are doing is the truth"
None of the prophet dared to say simpler truth than this. No body in the entire history. Not even Ashtavakra. But Ashtavakra was very close to what I am saying...This will be probably the last post on the truth unless otherwise required. Because, there is nothing beyond this.

अब कुछ लिखने का मन नही करता
अब जादा कुछ लिखने का मन नही करता। जितना लिखा काफ़ी है. अगर तुम एक बात भी समझ गए टू काफ़ी है. जादा लिखने से तुम confuse हो जाओगे. तुम पहले से ही काफ़ी confuse हो. मैं तुम्हे और confuse नही करना चाहता. सत्य को जादा बार लिखने से उसकी पुनरावृति होने लगती है. क्योंकि सत्य एक है. जितना मैंने लिखे उतना ही है. इस से जादा लिखने का कुछ है भी नही. मेरे और बुद्ध मे जादा कोई भेद नही है. क्योंकि अस्तित्व हर जगह बराबर है. बुद्धत्व का मतलब अस्तित्व से जुड़ने से है. वहाँ व्यक्ति नही रहता वहाँ शुद्ध अस्तित्व रहता है. सिद्धार्थ टू उसी दिन मर गया था जिस दिन उन्हें ज्ञान मिला था. शरीर टू बस माध्यम है जिसमे सत्य प्रकट होता है. जिसमे सत्य का आविर्भाव होता है. तुम हटो तभी तुम्हे ज्ञान मिलेगा. तुम ही ज्ञान को तुम तक नही पहुँचने देते. तुम्हारी किताबी बुद्धि सत्य को तुम तक नही पहुँचने देती. इसलिए टू विद्वान आदमी को सत्य नही मिलता है. सत्य मिलता है निर्मल ह्रदय की आदमी को. शुद्ध वृत्ति हो जिसकी. किताबी आदमी ऐसे स्लेट की तरह होता है जिसपर कुछ पहले से ही लिखा हो. अब उसपर कुछ नया लिख पाना सम्भव नही है. सत्य उसपर कभी नही लिखा जाएगा. क्योंकि वह पहले से ही लिखा हुआ है. अब उसमे सत्य को लिखने की कोई जगह नही है. सारा जगह अहंकार से भरा हुआ है. कहाँ लिखोगे? लिखने के लिए थोरा खाली स्थान टू चाहिए? अहंकार ने सारे स्थान को भर लिया है. इसलिए मैं कहता हूँ अहंकार त्यागो.
अगर तुम ध्यान करोगे टू तुम्हे सत्य के दर्शन हो सकते हैं. मई ये नही कहता की बिना ध्यान किए सत्य नही मिलता है. खूब मिलता है. बिना ध्यान किए ही सत्य मिलता है. बस ध्यान थोरा प्रायोगिक है. करो टू थिक न करो टू भी थिक. एक बात जो मुझे कभी ध्यान मे पता चला था वो तुम्हे बताता हूँ. अभी भी अव्यक्त का बहोत कम हिस्सा व्यक्त हुआ hai. इसलिए टू इस ब्रह्माण्ड मे जादातर स्थान खाली है तुम एक कमरे को ही लो. कमरे का ९९% से अधिक हिस्सा खली होता है. वहाँ सिर्फ़ हवा होती है. तुम परमाणु को ही लो. एक परमाणु मे भी ९९% से अधिक हिस्सा खली होता है. परमाणु के नाभि और एलेक्ट्रों को बीच मे बहोत सारा खाली स्थान है. तुम अगर सौर परिवार की भी लो. वहाँ भी वही हाल है. सूर्य और पृथ्वी के बीच १५ करोर किलोमीटर का खली स्थान है. उसी तरह से अगर तुम पूरे ब्रह्माण्ड का आयतन निकालो और ठोस पदार्थ का आयतन निकालो टू तुम पाओगे की ठोस पदार्थ का आयतन खली स्थान के आयतन के सापेक्ष कुछ भी नही है. इस से पता चलता है की अभी अव्यक्त थिक से व्यक्त नही हुआ है इसलिए इतने खाली स्थान हैं.
जब तुम्हे सत्य मिलेगा टू तुम यकीन नही कर पाओगे की अरे ये इतना आसान था पर जब तुम्हे सत्य मिलेगा टू तुम, तुम न रहोगे तुम ख़ुद ही सत्य हो जाओगे।
मेरा बस तुमसे एक निवेदन hai. तुम मेरे शब्द को मत पकारना. तुम हमेशा से यही करते आए हो. तुम शब्द ही पकर लेते हो. तुम शब्द मे छिपे भाव को पक्रो. शब्द टू बस माध्यम hai, जिस से भाव प्रकट होता hai.

इतना कठिन तो नही था
इतना कठिन तो नही था. था काफ़ी आसान. इतना आसन की होता नही था. होने के लिए कुछ है भी नही. सत्य का होने से क्या लेना देना. शुरू मे मैंभी काफ़ी भटका. क्या क्या नही किया. कहाँ कहाँ नही गए. कौन कौन से शास्त्र नही पढ़ा. किस किस साधू महात्मा से नही मिले . की कोई सत्य का दर्शन करा दे. की कोई अस्तित्व से वापस जोर दे. की कोई बुद्धत्व को उपलब्ध कर दे. जितने से मिला उसने वही कहा की ये करो , वो करो , प्राणायाम करो , ध्यान करो. लेकिन करो जरुर. करना इतना जादा महत्वपूर्ण हो गया की सत्य की अभिव्यक्ति भी करने से होने लगी. मेरे दोस्त मुझे फ़ोन कर के पूछते हैं - की क्या कर रहे हो? मेरे लिए इस से गन्दा सवाल कुछ भी हो नही सकता है. इस से जादा गन्दा सवाल पूछना मुश्किल है. क्या करेंगे यार. किसने क्या किया ? आजतक किसी ने कुछ भी नही किया है सब पहले से ही किया हुआ है. तुम जबरदस्ती कर कर के अस्तित्व से सुन्दरतम स्वरूप को दूषित कर देते हो. तुम जो भी कर रहे हो उसके बरे मे तुम्हे कुछ भी नही पता है. तुम वो कर रहे हो जो किया नही जा सकता है. इसलिए तो संसार मे इतना कष्ट और दुःख है. बुध का पहला वचन था की संसार मे कष्ट है. बुद्ध राजकुमार थे. जब एक राजकुमार को कष्ट हो सकता है, तो फिर मैं क्या हूँ. कष्ट इसलिए है क्यों की अव्यक्त से व्यक्त की घटना मे थोरी कमी रह गई थी. नही तो अमृत की सरिता बह सकती थी. हीरे मोटी के पहार हो सकते थे. अरबों खरबों बुद्ध जैसे आदमी पैदा हो सकती थे. अनसूया जैसी पतिव्रता नारियाँ हो सकती थी. अव्यक्त ठीक से व्यक्त मे परिवर्तित न हो सका. हजारों साल मे १-२ बुद्ध पैदा हों उस से क्या होगा. एक बुद्ध काफी नही है पुरी मानवता के लिए. एक बुद्ध कितना करेगा. जितने वो कर सकते थे किए. काफी किए. जिनको लेना थे लिया. वैसे बुद्धत्व की स्थिति मे पहुचने के बाद करने के लिए कुछ bachta नही है. ये तो बुद्ध ka बरप्पन है की वो सम्बोधि की घटना के बाद भी लोगों के लए बोले.
वस्तुतः स्थिति कुछ ऐसी है - जैसे मान लो एक राजा को स्मृति खो जाए और वह भूल ही जाए की वह राजा है और वह यह मान ले की वह रंक है. हमारी स्थिकी बिल्कुल ऐसी ही है हम वस्तुतः बुद्ध है क्योंकि अस्तित्व हर जगह बराबर है. सब अस्तित्व मे समाया हुआ है. अब अस्तित्व बुद्ध का हो या तुम्हारा इस से अस्तित्व को कोई फर्क नही परता. अस्तित्व शुद्धतम है. हमेशा से था समय से भी पहले. और हमेशा रहेगा. इस बात को समझने के लिए थोरा से विवेक चाहिए. थोरा ही काफ़ी है जादा विवेक अहंकार पैदा करेगा. हम बुद्ध नही है, यह मान्यता है. सत्य नही है. अगर मान्यता गिर जाए तो सत्य प्रकट हो जाएगा. इसलिए मान्यता छोर दो. सत्य को तुम्हारी ओर प्रवाहित होने दो. तुम्हारी मान्यता सत्य के प्रवाह को रोक देती है. इस से सत्य का तो कुछ नही बिगड़ता है, पता तुम्हारा सबकुछ बिगार जाता है. सत्य की प्रवाह अत्यन्त ही सूक्ष्म और शीतल है. मंद मंद प्रवाह है जिसे तुम्हारी शिला रुपी मान्यता रोक देती है. वही मान्यता जब प्रगाढ़ हो जाती है तो वो अहंकार का रूप धारण कर लेती है. फिर अहंकार करता भाव पैदा करता है की -I am the doer. फिर यही करता भाव ले doobta hai. Jahan करता है wahan सत्य नही हो sakta. Wahan तो संसार है
इसलिए अगर तुम मान्यता छोर दो, तो तुम्हे सत्य प्रकट होगा. दुःख है नही, दुःख मान्यता का है. हमने मान लियाकी दुःख है, इसलिए दुःख है. दुःख वस्तुतः नही है. वस्तुतः सुख भी नही है. सत्य सुख और दुःख के ऊपर है
क्योंकि अव्यक्त मे कोई सुख दुःख के लिए कोई जगह नही है तो व्यक्त मे सुख दुःख कैसे होगा.

My Education
Last weekend was full of chess. This post is about my education.
Education which doesn't free you is lame. Our education system is bulky. Education we had/having bind us. It doesn't free us. It makes us more knowledgeous. Knowledge in general boosts ego. The knowledge we have is all bookish. Bookish knowledge is not absolute. It's just a kind of information. You read those black lines and the information is stored in your neurons. That' it. Civilization has come coward. So you think the more you know, they more work you do your situation will be better. But that never happens. In my 10Th class I was crazy on study. I studied like anything. 16-17 hours per day. I had immense craze in mathematics and physics. I solved Irodov, Krotov, Resnick-Halliday, Tipler and many more...In my childhood, I used to dream about Nobel prize. Now, I don't want Nobel prize till my next 1 billion life time (if any ;)). That's what the change has happened in me. My attitude has changed totally. Now to me book is like an ash. When fire is finished, ash remains. That's what the book is - for me.
Till 8Th std. I was counted as an average student. That time didn't heard of IIT. Life was peaceful. It was going on. Was playing cricket in the evening. There was no future. No milestones. Only present was there. All problem started when I heard of IIT. Cricket stopped :(. When I got 99% marks in maths in matric. Wish I were lucky to get just 30% marks in maths. I would be more happy. I really really really really hate 99% marks. This was the highest marks in Bihar board. Then my dad thought I am an intelligent student. So, he asked me to prepare for JEE. He is right in his own way. I am thankful to him. But, he didn't know that I might be the most foolish student who ever walked on the earth. Because for me - Intelligence and foolishness is same. Different attributes of mind. But still mind. My real journey begins when mind drops. As long as mind is active - then it's a drama. I have no interest in that. Then gradually future started building up. Then the milestones started appearing. And the moment you start seeing milestone, a journey, a destination - you are gone. Because, there is always a next milestone. To me, now there is no journey, no destination, no milestones. My marching is over. I marched. I marched a lot. And only thing I learnt by marching and marching that you don't get anything out of marching. Marching is like a mirage. It leads nowhere. But, it does appear to lead somewhere. An apparent reality. Not the absolute reality.
To be frank, I never wanted to touch a book ever. I wanted to enjoy. To celebrate the existence. I just touched it to meet social expectations. Family expectations. The biggest question they ask is - what will you do if you don't study? Now this is a stupid question asked by stupid people to the stupid people. I am not stupid. As if I have taken birth to do something. What can I do? Who has done so far? Name me a single person in the entire history who had done anything good? Good or bad, finally, they all went to their grave. Death comes and take away everything you have. All these problems is due to death. If people don't die - then what you are saying makes sense. Then you go on making money. Go on reading books. No one is going to stop you. Remember one thing, today is only for today. Tomorrow might be different.
I wanted and still want an education which can free me. Which doesn't boost my ego. Lets imagine if education doesn't give job. Who will study? No one will study. So, there is an incentive in the education. That, you get a job. I wanted incentive free education. But society has always lured you. By giving some incentive. Which for some reason is enough for your survival. But you miss to become infinite. As I said, society doesn't want you to be infinite. They want you to behave like an obedient slave.
Never show your intelligence to your elder relatives. There are reason behind this. Take an example of your mom. Your mom has seen you when you were infant. When you couldn't even walk that time. They made you walking. They taught you A, B, C D...So for them you will be always a kid no matter how intelligent you are. Because, they have seen you dragging in the dust. They wont believe you. My mom says, I used to eat ants, soils etc. Who will trust a person who used to eat soil ever? That's the one reason why great great people are not easily recognized where they grew up. Because they have seen their childhood. They saw you toppling in the mud. They get shocked. This happend with BUDDHA also. Wish Jesus also. When BUDDHA went to meet his father after his enlightenment. His father was thinking and behaving like earlier. Buddha gave many logic. But Shudhodana could't understand. He can't. Because he taught Siddhartha how to walk. In the city of Nazareth people used to call Jesus - he is the same shapherd. They can't imagine a shepherd becoming infinite. Similar thing happend with Krishna also. So, friends never show your intelligencey to elder people. Especially who have seen your childhood. They won't buy your any argument. They will simply neglect it. :)
Education which doesn't free you is lame. Our education system is bulky. Education we had/having bind us. It doesn't free us. It makes us more knowledgeous. Knowledge in general boosts ego. The knowledge we have is all bookish. Bookish knowledge is not absolute. It's just a kind of information. You read those black lines and the information is stored in your neurons. That' it. Civilization has come coward. So you think the more you know, they more work you do your situation will be better. But that never happens. In my 10Th class I was crazy on study. I studied like anything. 16-17 hours per day. I had immense craze in mathematics and physics. I solved Irodov, Krotov, Resnick-Halliday, Tipler and many more...In my childhood, I used to dream about Nobel prize. Now, I don't want Nobel prize till my next 1 billion life time (if any ;)). That's what the change has happened in me. My attitude has changed totally. Now to me book is like an ash. When fire is finished, ash remains. That's what the book is - for me.
Till 8Th std. I was counted as an average student. That time didn't heard of IIT. Life was peaceful. It was going on. Was playing cricket in the evening. There was no future. No milestones. Only present was there. All problem started when I heard of IIT. Cricket stopped :(. When I got 99% marks in maths in matric. Wish I were lucky to get just 30% marks in maths. I would be more happy. I really really really really hate 99% marks. This was the highest marks in Bihar board. Then my dad thought I am an intelligent student. So, he asked me to prepare for JEE. He is right in his own way. I am thankful to him. But, he didn't know that I might be the most foolish student who ever walked on the earth. Because for me - Intelligence and foolishness is same. Different attributes of mind. But still mind. My real journey begins when mind drops. As long as mind is active - then it's a drama. I have no interest in that. Then gradually future started building up. Then the milestones started appearing. And the moment you start seeing milestone, a journey, a destination - you are gone. Because, there is always a next milestone. To me, now there is no journey, no destination, no milestones. My marching is over. I marched. I marched a lot. And only thing I learnt by marching and marching that you don't get anything out of marching. Marching is like a mirage. It leads nowhere. But, it does appear to lead somewhere. An apparent reality. Not the absolute reality.
To be frank, I never wanted to touch a book ever. I wanted to enjoy. To celebrate the existence. I just touched it to meet social expectations. Family expectations. The biggest question they ask is - what will you do if you don't study? Now this is a stupid question asked by stupid people to the stupid people. I am not stupid. As if I have taken birth to do something. What can I do? Who has done so far? Name me a single person in the entire history who had done anything good? Good or bad, finally, they all went to their grave. Death comes and take away everything you have. All these problems is due to death. If people don't die - then what you are saying makes sense. Then you go on making money. Go on reading books. No one is going to stop you. Remember one thing, today is only for today. Tomorrow might be different.

Your Knowledge
This post is kind of continuation of previous post but with a different subtitle :)
Have you ever noticed, your knowledge put constraints on you. Your knowledge binds you. Generally, we think the more you know, the more good you are. I would say, the more you know the more polluted you are. You've stuffed your mind with external information. However, this might be necessary from the survival of fittest point of view. The survival of fittest is not the full story. It's just one aspect. There exist two things - beauty and logic. Society chooses logic. Buddha chooses beauty - Internal beauty. There exists being and body. Society chooses body. Buddha chooses being. In one of my previous post I said great people create disparity in the society. That' true. That's required. Someone has to show the total aspect of life to society. Society is blind. It doesn't bother to dive deep into consciousness. You get up, you open your eyes, you see this world, and you think that's what all it is. The world which is so important for you was the least important to Buddha. That's why he became Buddha. He became infinite. Society had been always in hurry. Always. Hurry up!. When you hurry you miss. Everyone is in hurry. The word "Hurry" gave so much disaster to society that even thousands of Osama cannot do that. The effect one word is enough to distract the entire human civilization. Aren't you always in hurry. You think time is moving faster. When you go office you are in hurry to reach time. I had a friend in KGP. He always used to go class on time. You can see his hurryness to catch 7:30am class. He will walk fast. He will eat fast. His face will be slightly tensed. As if something very very great thing gonna happen in the class. And when you reach to class, the professor start stuffing information in your brain. Basically, society had made you like that. It has not started today or yesterday. It's running from centuries. When you were in hurry going class did you listen the bird singing? Did you watch the morning nature's beauty? Did you see the morning dew glistering on the grass? Did you see the flowers blossoming? Did you feel the cool breeze touching your body? No you did not. You were in hurry going class. Again, it's not your fault. Society made you like that. Society forced you to do like that. Because that way society is making you part of their system. They are just making you cog in the wheel. Of course you get some benefit out of that. You get good grades by hurrying. But you will miss the beauty of nature. Beuty of nature is just a small part. Basically, you miss your being itself. You miss your existence itself. Society always attack on your existence. First they will force you to forget your existence. So, from totality point of view someone is 10 pointer or 6 pointer make no difference to toality. The 10 pointer guy always kept his head busy with books. The 6 pointer may be busy watching nature, watching movies, singing etc. Both are complementary. But to society complimentary things can be of different importance. To society 10 pointer guy can be more valuable. Because, he has followed what society wanted him to follow. He is an obidient slave. He didn't miss class. He was always on time in classes. But that 6 pointer guy missed many classes, was seldom on time but he watched the nature. He observed the being. He broke the rules of society. Then society will penalize you. Jesus was also penalized in the similar manner. They will give you low grade. GPA is given by society. Not by GOD. Infact, number is creation of society. God doesn't create numbers. He creates just pure existence. Society needs love. Love can bind people. Look at children. They don't know much. But they are happy. You know a lot, you are unhappy. Your knowledge increase your ego. I have seen many knowledgeous people. They know the things. But it's just mechanical. They know, but they dont feel. They have some perception of the nature. A perception made from periphery. Not from centre. They try to gather as much information as they can. They know bits and pieces of many things. But nothing in total. Whosoever said "Little knowledge is dangerous" was a genious. Your knowledge brings you a prejudice. It completely change your attitude. The problem is everyone thinks that I am the best knower. I like Japanease culture. In Jaapan, in a group of people everyone thinks that I am the least important here. But that everyone thinks. In India, everyone thinks, I am the most important here. That makes difference.

The first and the last
For anything first and last is kind of special. Particularly special. Lets understand this in terms of life. Birth is the first thing of the life - the very first breath. Which you don't remember. Death is the last thing of the life - the last breath. Which hasn't come. Life exists between these two breath. Indian yogic system gives too much stress on breath. Even in Buddhism breath is immensely important. In Christianity it's not that important. Because Christianity is primarily based on the prayers. On the pope. On the priest. On the father. Father will pray for you, then only you can go to kingdom of God. But, essentially this is not the case in Hinduism. That's why Hinduism has produced great meditators. Hinduism give you more freedom. But some people do not like it. There are reason behind this. A temple priest wont like to see you meditating. Ask why? Because, when you meditate you are trying to connect yourself with infinite. You are trying to contact God directly. You are bypassing the channels made by others. Made by priest, Pope, Muhammad. So, these people get frightened with that. Your meditation questions on their existence. Because, in meditation what you are doing is, you are simply bypassing them. And they don't like it. They want you to follow their paths, their rules. So that, their paths and rules remain always active. And this is what happened in the almost every religion excluding some sects of Hinduism.
Birth is important. Someone taking birth at midnight, and someone taking at midday will make a difference. Best time to take a birth should be in the morning around 8-9-10 am. That time nature is charge with freshly awaken people. Everybody is fresh, enthusiastic about the day. Everybody is optimistic. So all these positive environment will affect the kid positively. And the reverse is true in the night. There are many other factors as well. An astrologer would know it better. Lol. Few moments before the death is also special. Person's behaviour is unpredictable. Unpredictable in the sense that he is just about to die. He feels rejuvenated just before death. Death of enlightened person will be even more special. Yoga students in hiamalayan region are taught to watch the death of yogis. You will find them totally abnormal just before death. Because his life force is at the peak. In just a few minute it will be mearged into infinite. His entire life force gears up to take the final flight. It's like just few seconds before an air plane takes off. There are various ways Pran can exit out of the body. Yogi's Pran will exit out of crown of the head. Also called Sahasrar. And it is said, if it exits from the crown of the head. You are done!! Your rebirth won't happen again. You are freed, liberated. Else you will again take birth. And again life will start...you will again learn A B C D...Lol :)
