The Great

-
There are really no great people. It is our incomplete assessment of them that they are projected great in our minds. Look intensely enough before you conclude whether someone is great. Your concepts and ideas about others shape your own life. SO be careful and watchful. Greatness is a quality that is thrust by people who opine about others. Greatness depends on what is your take and hence a highly subjective matter.

A man who has served the nation but neglected his family may be considered great. But his own children and wife feel neglected and ignored. They may feel that this great person is, in fact, a failure. On the other hand, there may be an individual who is not known in society, yet his family loves and respects him and find him great. So what does greatness mean after all?

Hope and Positivity

This might seem contradicting to many, but the fact is that practicing positivity is not as beneficial as you think. It is a form of ignorance. Because, positivity involves the mind, it can never be positive. Remember, any act involving the mind is negative. Practices that help dewiring the mind is positive. Such practices abate the wandering of the mind. The movement of the mind is always flimsy and not unidirectional, so are hopes. We hope not one thing, not once, but many things and many times! So, we have desires sprouting from hopes and senses to achieve them. This is ignorance. Anything done unconsciously is ignorance. Because we are not aware of this cyclic trend of hope transforming into desire then act. These activities generally yield negative results. This causes disturbance, again compelling us to unconsciously accept hope. Now, we hope again, but to get rid of negativity. We hope positivity. This is ignorance of the highest kind as we dream and try to pacify ...

The science of Guilt

When do we feel guilty? or a rather connecting to you question would be When do you feel guilty? The answer is certainly this. We feel guilty when our expectation turn out otherwise. But, this is a very superficial conclusion we all draw, from our own experiences. We haven't thought in deeper about this. Let's go deeper and understand the science of guilt. We can only feel guilty when choose. Yes, when we have a chance to act, we are presented with two options. One from the mind and the other from the soul. Now, guilt can only come along after having chosen the option, emphatically praised by the mind. Due, to the loudness of the mind, 99.99% of people go for the option proposed by the mind and the results lands all of them in GUILT. Yes! seems astonishing, but it is the fact. We feel guilty because we realize that we chose the wrong option and we feel more guilty when we realize that the appropriate option was suggested to us, but we were ignorant as we refused it. ...

Manu & Shatarupa (Boon and Grace)- Part-2

On having the vision of the divine couple,  Manu and Shatarupa also feasted their eyes endearingly on Srimati Sitadevi's countenance. Understanding the heart of His dear devotees, the Lord continued, "The one who stands by my side is my better half, Adishakti, the Mother of the universe. She is the creative force who has given rise to this phenomenal world. When I appear as your son, even Srimati Sita will incarnate." Saying so, the kind Lord and the Universal mother disappeared. We, as devotees of the Supreme Lord, commit ourselves to the knowledge of mother Sita, whose description as the mother of the universe at the time of His appearance as the Lord of Manu and Shatarupa was quite different as compared to the mother's appearance as the daughter of King Janaka. Although the Lord introduced Srimati Sitadevi as "Maya" or His creative force, He knew the heart of his devotees, Manu and Shatarupa, who also wanted the presence of the Mother in their lives...
