LIFE,MIND AND WHAT NOT

LIFE,MIND AND WHAT NOT
LIFE IS WORTHLESS AS SEEN BUT EVEN VEDHANTHIS DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT.WHERE THE MIND IS WITHOUT FEAR, LET THE WORLD LOOK AT ME IN ANY MANNER THEY LIKE,SINCE , THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. ELAI ELAI LAMA SABHAKTHANI. KE KE SARA SARA WHAT WILL BE WILL BE.
I HEARD THE SONG FROM A KID IN JUNIOR SUPER SINGER AND MY THOUGHTS CARRIED ME TO COMPARE AS UNDER. OLD WINE IN A NEW BOTTLE.
EVERYONE THINKS HE/SHE HURTS ME BUT ITS NOT KNOWN TO THEM THAT THE WOUNDS ARE ON THEM AND I am fresh !

Meaning:
Pallavi: Worship Govinda, Worship Govinda, Worship Govinda. Oh fool ! Rules of Grammar will not save you at the time of your death.

2: Oh fool ! Give up your thrist to amass wealth, devote your mind to thoughts to the Real. Be content with what comes through actions already performed in the past.

3: Do not get drowned in delusion by going wild with passions and lust by seeing a woman's navel and chest. These are nothing but a modification of flesh. Do not fail to remember this again and again in your mind.

4: The life of a man is as uncertain as rain drops trembling on a lotus leaf. Know that the whole world remains a prey to disease, ego and grief. 5: So long as a man is fit and able to support his family, see the affection all those around him show. But no one at home cares to even have a word with him when his body totters due to old age.

6: When one is alive, his family members enquire kindly about his welfare. But when the soul departs from the body, even his wife runs away in fear of the corpse.

7: The childhood is lost by attachment to playfulness. Youth is lost by attachment to woman. Old age passes away by thinking over many past things. But there is hardly anyone who wants to be lost in parabrahman.

8: Who is your wife ? Who is your son ? Strange is this samsara. Of whom are you ? From where have you come ? Brother, ponder over these truths here. 9: From Satsangh comes non-attachment, from non-attachment comes freedom from delusion, which leads to self-settledness. From self-settledness comes Jeevan Mukti.

10: What good is lust when youth has fled ? What use is a lake which has no water ? Where are the relatives when wealth is gone ? Where is samsara when the Truth is known ?

11: Do not boast of wealth, friends, and youth. Each one of these are destroyed within a minute. Free yourself from the illusion of the world of Maya and attain the timeless Truth.
12: Daylight and darkness, dusk and dawn, winter and springtime come and go. Time plays and life ebbs away. But the storm of desire never leaves.

12a: This bouquet of twelve verses was imparted to a grammarian by the all-knowing Shankara, adored as the bhagavadpada.

13: Oh mad man ! Why this engrossment in thoughts of wealth ? Is there no one to guide you ? There is only one thing in three worlds that can save you from the ocean from samsara. Get into that boat of satsangha quickly. (Stanza attributed to Padmapada.)

14: There are many who go with matted locks, many who have clean shaven heads, many whose hairs have been plucked out; some are clothed in saffron, yet others in various colors --- all just for a livelihood. Seeing truth revealed before them, still the foolish ones see it not. (Stanza attributed to Totakacharya.)

15: Strength has left the old man's body; his head has become bald, his gums toothless and leaning on crutches. Even then the attachment is strong and he clings firmly to fruitless desires. (Stanza attributed to Hastamalaka.)

16: Behold there lies the man who sits warming up his body with the fire in fromt and the sun at the back; at night he curls up the body to keep out of the cold; he eats his beggar's food from the bowl of his hand and sleeps beneath the tree. Still in his heart, he is a wretched puppet at the hands of passions. (Stanza attributed to Subodha.)

17: One may go to gangasagar, observe fasts, and give away riches in charity ! Yet, devoid of jnana, nothing can give mukthi even at the end of a hundred births. (Stanza attributed to Sureshwaracharya.)

18: Take your residence in a temple or below a tree, wear the deerskin for the dress, and sleep with mother earth as your bed. Give up all attachments and renounce all comforts. Blessed with such vairagya, could any fail to be content ? (Stanza attributed to Nityananda.)

19: One may take delight in yoga or bhoga, may have attachment or detachment. But only he whose mind steadily delights in Brahman enjoys bliss, no one else. Stanza attributed to Anandagiri.

20: Let a man read but a little from giitaa, drink just a drop of water from the ganges, worship murari (govinda) just once. He then will have no altercation with Yama. (Stanza attributed to dR^iDhabhakta.)

21: Born again, death again, birth again to stay in the mother's womb ! It is indeed hard to cross this boundless ocean of samsara. Oh Murari ! Redeem me through Thy mercy. (Stanza attributed to Nityanatha.)

22: There is no shortage of clothing for a monk so long as there are rags cast off the road. Freed from vice and virtue, onward he wanders. One who lives in communion with God enjoys bliss, pure and uncontaminated, like a child and as someone intoxicated. (Stanza attributed to Nityanatha.)

23: Who are you ? Who am I ? From where do I come ? Who is my mother, who is my father ? Ponder thus, look at everything as essenceless and give up the world as an idle dream. (Stanza attributed to Surendra.)

24: In me, in you and in everything, none but the same Vishnu dwells. Your anger and impatience is meaningless. If you wish to attain the status of Vishnu soon, have samabhava always. (Stanza attributed to Medhaatithira.)

25: Do not waste your efforts to win the love of or to fight against friend and foe, children and relatives. See yourself in everyone and give up all feelings of duality completely. (Stanza attributed to Medhaatithira.) *********

26: Give up lust, anger, infatuation, and greed. Ponder over your real nature. Fools are they who are blind to the Self. Cast into hell they suffer there endlessly. (Stanza attributed to Bharativamsha.)

27: Regularly recite from the Gita, meditate on Vishnu [thro' Vishnu sahasranama] in your heart, and chant His thousand glories. Take delight to be with the noble and the holy. Distribute your wealth in charity to the poor and the needy. (Stanza attributed to Sumatira.)

28: He who yields to lust for pleasure leaves his body a prey to disease. Though death brings an end to everything, man does not gives up the sinful path.

29: Wealth is not welfare, truly there is no joy in it. Reflect thus at all times. A rich man fears even his own son. This is the way of wealth everywhere.

30: Regulate the pranas, remain unaffected by external influences and discriminate between the real and the fleeting. Chant the holy name of God and silence the turbulent mind. Perform these with care, with extreme care.

31: Oh devotee of the lotus feet of the Guru ! May thou be soon free from Samsara. Through disciplined senses and controlled mind, thou shalt come to experience the Indwelling Lord of your heart !
32: Thus was a silly grammarian lost in rules cleansed of his narrow vision and shown the Light by Shankara's apostles.

33: Worship Govinda, worship Govinda, worship Govinda, Oh fool ! Other than chanting the Lord's names, there is no other way to cross the life's ocean.

Taming bosses and to win from all angles in all fronts

1 All bosses are always fools, don’t you agree? All employed and otherwise will tend to believe so. The stress brought about on one self and change of plan, target, things to achieve keep changing every day and the objectives are so tough and the competitions are so stiff, the bosses who are learned are not pragmatic. On the other hand, the modern world has subjective indices and need the results immediately after the work. Schedules are more important than the resourceful work. Everybody knows what is what, yet they, the bosses dream not the dream of Mr. Abdul kalam!
2 In these kinds of environments, the real bosses who are less than 5% of the bosses know their job and would suck the honey without the awareness of the flowers, like an efficient tax collector. The rest, who climb the ladder with the fixed qualifications and without the efficiency, want to boss over.
3 The subordinates however strong their knowledge is can be made frustrated since they are sincere workers. The top brass always invariably follow the techniques of learning the best, potential subordinates below only thro the “one down below” which makes the bosses more powerful. Has anyone thought for a moment why people with lower or less knowledge are happier than the brilliants? No. the shallow the thinking process, the more dependent they become on their surrounded colleagues and immediate bosses to run the races from the spots they stand and save their positions. The stressed expose themselves beyond the requirements and suffer the work-syndrome.
4 So it’s clear for those with stress that
A. your knowledge and hard work are trump cards and shall be felt like SUN’S RAYS WHEN SUN RISES and not as a Thunderstorm;
B. NEVER NOD YOUR HEADS TO EARN A GOODWILL NOR FOR BEING IN THE GOOD BOOKS OF BOSSES;
C. Never say “yes” when you know the quantum and quality of the work have to be combined, against the time limit asked for or fixed by the bosses are shorter than the requirements and keep parroting this ratio well expressed to them on every meeting of progress, so that, it’s for the bosses or the managements, to sacrifice the quality or quantity and that become a matter of fact, when the index finger is pointed at you, when three fingers are marking them. The expressions of time factor shall not be the outcome of inefficiency but based on true values, expressed in good terms.
D. Make it a policy to involve the bosses at every step, every stage and at every meeting , so that, the bosses know the levels, as they were once in similar positions and get themselves into helping you to close down the schedule without hitch and without scrapping your review. Also adamant bosses will get caught in the last stages before “their bosses” as the slow down were due to their wrong -directions and no boss would haul you up and AN UPFRONT FEE MAY HAVE TO BE PAID BY HIM. Fools walk into the trap or shy away from you since the bosses never want to expose their shallow weaknesses.
E. You gain a lot from the best 5% who would take his subordinates as a team. Ultimately you gain a lot, sustain your energy, and expose your brilliance only at the appropriate time and level and who knows, most of all, one day you become bosses to be told, as above, in the recycle position. HISTORY REPEATS ITS SELF.
5. As long as you keep your arena clean, YOU STAND TO WIN, FROM WHICH EVER WAY YOU LOOK AT IT when you practice, what is preached. Karmanyevadikaraste ma paleshu kadhchana. When He knows your needs, why do you harass and stress yourself. FEAR IS THE KEY FOR SO MANY PROBLEMS OF LIFE. I THINK THEREFORE I DO EXIST. Think it over and that river will also pass by. Have a nice day

SLUMDOG MILLIONNAIRE

14th sept 2009
Today I saw SLUMDOG MILLIONNAIRE eight Oscar award winner film. I received it in two diabolic situations.
One the film has been well taken and wonders how the film units stepped into such slum areas and shoot the film? The dedication of the work seen in depth. No doubt it got the Oscar.
The way the kids drive themselves into the treacherous world of growth was nicely felt with tears in my eyes. It’s crude. An innocent plant is being crushed by the power, money, hatred, unkind cut and vagaries of the society. They cheerfully endure and grow but the pain is strong and builds into their skin to change into revolution. The greedy persons, the police and the cross section of the elite society exploit them for the vested interests. MAY BE THE PRODUCERS ALSO?
Second, the foreigners always depict the harsh side of our society and find pleasure in exposition! India is different. However it’s our own men for a few dollars more allow greater exposure by fawning and creeding (Poem village teacher)
Three, even the Oscar is wantonly perhaps given to such film to scoff or look down on our country? There are better films elevating the civilization of the country and its culture yet not even recognized for other country entries, why?
It was a mixed feeling. Our religion is exploited basically by 40% exploiting GOD in robes and the other 40% exploit the same as against GOD and the rest suffer silently under the NORM of KARMA. May be
A R Rahman and Rasul Pookkutty could have brought out a fine gesture had they declined the Oscars?!
There are more things on heaven and earth Horatio-Shakespeare
