Think !! ...... before you think...............

Thinking is just a tool, in whole repository of tools that we humans have.....
You use it judiciously and you achieve, you use it negatively, you ruin your life.
So think before you think.........
So the whole concept of ITTIAM i.e I think therefore i am, is wrong, the truth is, i am; therefore i think.......
There is always a discoonect between what we think and what we do....
Have you ever observed your thoughts; you are never in now.....when in now, you think of past or future.
But we live in now.
But somehow because of our thinking we do not enjoy now.
We make enemy out of now; right now you are living a life, and you are not enjoying it.
When in office you are at home, when at home, you are at beach and when at beach you think about meeting office deadlines..
You run, in thoughts, from office to home to beach.....defintely you will get exhausted by such running......
and thats a retarded way to think....
Now; use thought, in positive manner, it gives you sense or concept called future, where you can have an appointment with doctor or itieanary to catch plane.....
So thought is just like an axe, use it, to cut trees and not your legs....
Stop thinking and start living.....

Another weekend.....
Well on 17th April 2010 Mohit is marrying Jodie, and its only a week left and i haven't bought his wedding present and neither have i prepared the best man's speech......( me and my wretched plans....never gets implemented).....

If auntyji or Rohit comes to know i am the best man,their faith on whole humanity would be lifted, i was supposed to look after and keep a watch on Mohit, and look at me!!!!!.....i am arranging for his marriage......but what can i do.....

The laughing matter about all this affair is that auntyji wanted only a brahmin and no other brahmin other than Sanadhya brahmin, god has his own ways....Mohit is marrying true blood aussie....

This thursday i.e is 8th April was the most productive day of the week.....
1) I got my vic roads address updated
2) Killed few viruses on my computer.
3) Downgraded my 3 mobile plan.....( i don't think i need i phone.....why should i pay 54$ for it)
4) bought weeks grocery + petrol
5) Also worked till 5.....

This saturday and sunday, i think i should prepare list of all the indian shops and sort it suburb wise......it has been 4 months now since i am expecting this toy consignment......and i still don't see it anywhere,

I think i have got addicted to ebay......my cash is flying out pretty fast.......need to curb my enthusiasm.......

On top of it; this question, has bothered me for last whole week..... does life have any meaning; If i look back,it seems meanigless, you sleep, work, eat, and eventually die.......out of billions of people; who were born before me, or, who will be born after me, on this planet, we humans, remember barely 100 odd souls........or let me paraphrase....do you know the name of any person who won Noble Prize last year!!!!..... probably, most of the people, will not know; by name, even a single person......and i think i am important......

Easter weekend

Things are moving pretty fast, Yogi is moving back to india from UK, thank god i never went to that wretched country, it would have been plain waste of time.

Like chinese philospher said " If you have not travelled the world, you have read only one page of 1000 page book".

Here after living in australia i have come to appreciate the universal human values which have nothing to with religion, culture or upbringing. By meeting people and getting to know them makes you understand that everyone is looking for good job, decent life, good food, security and liveable atmosphere. People as such are not racist, but just ignorant or have false sense of insecurity.

I have few Pakistani friends and as such they are fun to chat and go out and eat out with, but they have some crazy notions like; i was in my lunch break and this guy Sajad was happy that he had bought Honda civic car and was showing me around his car and we were discussing about cost of repairs and other misc. matters, i asked him how much are you paying for your insurance. He says nothing, because insurance is haram in Islam. But i asked him even if he meets with minor accident here in melbourne, the cost is going to be thousands of dollars, and he retorts that amitbhai, even if you cross the road you can die, there is no security in life as such.

I am amazed by such thinking, no wonder if well educated pakistanis have such view then country would sure go to dogs....

Anyways last 4 days of easter weekend has been uneventful, it was really beautiful to do nothing.....lol....but from tuesday i have to work till 5pm .....that makes me dread....

No Evil

I am facinated by vipasana, it sounds and seems so simple to just watch your own breadth, but when you are actually doing it then you realise even the minute is eternity. Thoughts in mind are so delusional, they either go in past or in future but never in present. I have seen, when i am in present i do not have any fear or worry or tension or anxiety, its only when i am day dreaming that i hop from remebering the embarassment of past mistakes or suddenly fearing for the future.

I know this, but still i do not implement it, like i have the knowledge but no wisdom. It has been the same for long time, when i was in school i knew i should study; but did i study? I knew i should have stood up against Kamal, but i did not. Most of the times i have taken easier path or i always lacked the courage to stand for what i beleived.

Like SAS has motto " Who dares wins", i know, but has it been implemented.....

Gita has very important lesson, ie not to be attached to fruits of your action......seems so simple, like vipasana, but its like nuclear bomb of spirutuality......if i can master that then nothing can stop me, just like nuclear bomb its difficult to make, but devastating to use... right sense of mind is required for it. Because if i look back at my own experience or see the egs in history of mankind then i observed that greates killers on this planet has been world leaders like Genghis Khan, Hitler, Churchill, Stalin, Japanese
emperor, and they arose because the normal people were not following their dharam, they were too much engrossed by what they can get out by collaborating with these dictators and other extreme to this has been the path followed by Buddha, Christ, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela....these people did not work for fame,wealth or recognistion it just that they followed what they beleived was right and every other thing felt into place.

Isn't this world fascinating place, it has been shaped by both the tyrants and saints. So i do not understand why does church always portrays god on the side of good, because god doesnt discriminate, it has created both the evil and good.

Essentially evil and good balance themselves out. If you look at law of nature, big fish eats small fish. from viewpoint of small fish its evil but from big fish point of view its good.......

But then at the end of the day i still don't know what should be done.......
