And the Karma Continues...

I could be one of the laziest person on the earth. I hate doing some work. One fine morning I woke up and saw a ant (small little creature) moving on the wall.he/she was busy finding some food around. I thought Mr.Ant would have done almost half his of the work for the day till the time I just woke up. I feel soory about that little creature thinking about his all life he would work finding food. And there is no single change in his work. Wake up go collect food come back. Every single day. And no appraisal no job change.

Every one including humans have to work every day but surprisingly no body questioned how much work is left to do. Probably for the reason that nobody knew how much it is exactly. How much every person has to do in his life? Is this defined somewhere. What if somebody does less than that?Why does my work always result into some other work to be done? even the success ?I got curious about some questions like this and thought about reading something.

So I thought of reading "Geeta" the spiritual literature for hindus. Geeta for the reason thatI knew one line from that "karmanye wa dhikaraste ma faleshu ....". So somthing for the karma.I thought lets go though it once. So I listened to Audio hindi version downloaded from cooltoad.It came out to be very complex than I could ever think of.
But most intresting turnout was "Daily work that we do does always result into some other work to be done". So all efforts what everybody puts every day is always resulting into another work. Except when u keep youself detached from the work you are doing. which is impossible.One thing was in full agreement with me was "when you are at the highest level of spritual achievement there will be nothing left to be done".
Above all I was Shocked when I got the meaning of the line. "Karmanye wa dhikaraste ma faleshu ...". The Karma here defined in this line is not what we do every day. Its not the work that you do for your families, for you. Geeta says its a yadyna ( a specific ritual ). Dont interprete yadyna with the ritual of bringing up fire and putting ghee in it. yadya defined here is different than that.

So all the time what I assumed was different meaning of the line. There is a lot to read to understand the concept "Karma". I really feel sorry about people who put "Karma" on their T-shirt and do not even bother to read about it sometime.Very few people know these life sciences and still living their life. Its like doing coding without knowing what is the product you are working on.Atleast I am satisfied that I made a attempt to understand it. And I believe without knowing it the karma continues ..

Here is link for the Audio Version of chapter 4 from Geeta.

Don.

This post is in complete contrast to earlier posts. This is Just a funny conversation I am posting Here. I am maintaining the only motive behind the posts that is to keep the readers intrest. I hope all of you will enjoy it.
here it goes



( I am in my rented apartement on a saturday and watching TV ... )
Suddenly somebody knocked the door.
Knock Knock.
me: who is this ??

reply: DON !! DON !! DON !!

( I hurriedly looked through the eye hole of door and saw a person with ordinary cloths on with no weapons visible in his hands).
me: what do you want

person: Ganpatichi Vargani
( what a foolish answer Don asking for Vargani :) )
I opened the door.
me : who are u really, and why are you asking for "Vargani"

person: Yes I am the Don, I am asking for "Vargani" for the reason that its the best way to enter in any house any time, whithout knowing who they are.

me: Hmm I see your point. but why are you here.

Don: Mein bohot jakhmi hoon, aur muze bhook lagi hai.

me: kya baat kar raha hai, Police ki goli lagi hai kya.

Don: Nahi mein ganapati festival ke liye dance practice kar raha tha, par chhote bachoone milke
mere upar pathar fekna suru kar diya.

( hmm ..pata hai naya don kitna ghatiya dance karta hai )
me: what do u want.

Don : Ek wada-pav milega?

me: Don hoke tu vada-pav se gujara karega kya?

Don: to don koi ensan nahi hai kya. ek to 14 mulkoki police mere peeche padi rahti hai. vada pav khanekobhi time nahi milta aur tu baat kar raha hai.

me : kyun safed zoot bol raha hai don. Apne yahaki police durse muluk ke mamle nahi dekhti, to 14 mulukoki police ko koi dusra kaam nahi hai kya.

Don: tu baat kyon nahi samazta mein don hoon.

Don: bohot boora haal hai, iss saal ka target achieve nahi hua issliye uprse pressure hai.

me: boss tuze konsa pressure hai tu to don hai.

Don: abe saale finace kya haawa se aati hai kya. Bohot marketing karni padti hai, logon ko dikhana padta hai ki hum log bhi kam karte hai.
me: ok ok
Don: last performance was too bad to bohot logo ko VRS dena pada.

me : WOW kitna paisa diya

Don: har ek ko ek bullet. waise bhi bohot pareshan ho gaya hoon.... mein company chod raha hoon.

me: saahi baat kar raha hai.

Don: uprse Dubai walo ne sab kam offshore kar diya hai. kuch kamai nahi ho rahi.

me: ooh ok

India Shining

To be a Rich person is one of the Goals of my life. But I would feel more intrested in knowing the truth that worked for "Rich" people. I believe in every life of every human being there is struggle to go ahead. Some people find some smarter way to overcome these struggles.
I wonder what a little kid going to school in sleek "Mercedes Benz" or in "Audi R8" have done in their past life. Above all I woder looking at the people living in European Countries and American countries whether they have got some secret of living life. Although we say indian culture is most ancient and we have a traditions and life sciences from last 5000 years. Did that worked for us or just a illusion of having somthing age old.
Today we stand with huge population and poverty problems and lot poorer than other countries.
I feel one of the reasons being where we are now is "Being Satisfied with what we have". Although its not the only thing. But I feel this could be one of the major factors thats affecting us.we are satisfied with what we have, bad road conditions, junk politics, currupt law systems.
I wish I could send every person in India Onsite/abroad sometime to get the feel of outside systems, so that he would stand up and will be unsatisfied with what is going on in our country.or atleast every one should have a brief idea of what goverments are doing in other countries for their people.The only hope remains for me is the globalization. The more we see inflow of foreign populations would result into increasing faclities and improvment on systems.I think it would not take more time to see US, UK, Or German people working in Indian offices. At least at some top positions.

Beginning...

This is my first blog, my first article ever published in my life. Every line I am typing here is typed and corrected two times. I dont know, if this is only with me or just a common thing happens to everybody,.. I always need to correct first line of my article.
Today I am dreaming a lot. Its just the effect of the book I am reading the "Alchemist". Book is nice for those who belive in dreams.This is not a day dreaming . And its not as per the saying "Dream Big" by Dr. Abdul Kalam.This is more imaginary. Auther of book belives in the super natural powers of the soul. Auther is more optimistic and creates a hope for reader. A hope that is not realistic most of the times. I am driven by the force of dreams throughout the text. I belive everybody has got same real life dream, a dream for money and a girl.
I dont know how many of you have a real life dream of Mercedez Benz and Company of your own as a his dream. I am sure every one has that. I dont know if this dream comes true for every one, and how many cars Mercedez have to produce in future. And also who is going for 1 lakh car.
But most important thing is dreams keep you happy for at least some time. I assume we are all same our dreams change every day. And we like to change that more often.
