Life is Beautiful

Going as per the definition I have put in place till now (click here to see all the definitions),

Knowledge is "Processed Thoughts residing in Mind".

What
is Misery?

The state of mind : where there is internal confusion/clash
between :

What you want (an unfulfilled event/aspect) & What you
have ?

What
is emotion?

Its a state of mind: A consequence of a complex interplay and
accumulation of thoughts over a period and/or spontaneous reaction .

When should you call some thing is emotion:
When you are not able to identify the various thoughts on the time scale
and intensity scale which is currently leading to a certain behavior.

For your understanding : you can consider a thought as a vector
quantity.

The resultant of the various such vectors is an emotion, where you
still donot know the various individual vectors contributing to the
resultant.

What
is root of all evil?

The answer:

Confusion/ lack of clarity / don't know /
ignorance / lack of knowledge

What
is ignorance?

What is Ignorance: Simplest Definition
which works for now: Dont know and all its associated
manifestations.

What
is MIND?

Its the space where the thoughts reside, processed and
can be organized.

thats all!!

What
is Attitude?

Simply put: Its an instance or a variable of data type
thought. In other words from a science point of view a thought with a
pre-defined direction by the time it occupies a MIND..

What
is Meditation?

simple answer: A process, most economical, affordable and
most challenging on earth, primarily utilized to understand the
difference between absolute and relative. A process
which enables fastest streamlining of thoughts hence associated
behavior. Pl. give credits to India/Bharat for its contribution to the
MENTAL WORLD.

What
is a thought?

A thought is an entity which responds to any stimulus,
any disturbance which produces reaction/(s) conscious, unconscious,
physical, mental.

What
is Love?

What the world calls i.e the context of
attraction/attachment/admiration/adoration between two individuals/ a
group - with some type of strings attached is SELFISHNESS or fulfillment
of a requirement/desire/wish/want - That is NOT LOVE, what so ever.

Love is A responsibility with NO STRINGS Attached.
- Thats it.

see, truth is always simple.
We have been trying to dress it up and suffocate it for our selfish
goals.
Today, the unfortunate day has come that - truth is at a stage
of dieing.

What
is Character ?

The attitudes stationed in MIND - Wow!! that was the
simplest definition !!

Keep it simple. Thats where the challenge is. and hence Life is
Beautiful.

What
is Responsibility ?

A duty to serve

If its unconditional and no strings attached - thats LOVE

What
is Discrimination?

A state of mind, where thoughts and their possible
directions i.e attitudes are understood, streamlined and organized.
Further, to some extent understand the origins of the thoughts.

What
is Detachment?

The step immediately above or deeper to Discrimination:
The state of mind, where

1. the origin of thoughts,
2. the origin of reaction,
3. the origin of disturbance,
4. the place of synapse/junction ( where the
   external/internal stimuli initiates the reaction)

becomes clear and conscious.

1. Further, the ability to control the synapse is detachment.

What
is Truth?

Truth is like any other attitude
(What is Attitude - Click here) except that its been there and no
one knows from when.

One can consider it to be an attitude with
out birth and death. Hence, it becomes, in general, the point of
reference.

Thats one of the reason why we call discovering truth and/or
following truth, not inventing truth

Discrimination
and Detachment
help in identifying the Truth

What
is Mental World?

The moment you start thinking - You are into MENTAL WORLD.
To make it more clear: In Mental World, your desk top is your MIND.

The moment you start to think, you are actually playing, organizing,
identifying, strategizing thoughts on your mind, consciously or
unconsciously.

What
is Weak Mind?

Its just the inability or inexperience to understand and
organize the thoughts which have accumulated for a long long
time and are creating misery.

This inability is called Weak Mind.

What
is Innocence?

Innocence is Ignorance, except that the attitudes are
+VE, which means, the directions of thoughts are more inclined toward
TRUTH.

Both Innocence and Stupidity can be associated with Lack of
Knowledge. They are the measurements on the same scale, on either side
of zero (for example).

What
is Principle?

A principle is a parameter which influences the formation
of Attitudes from thoughts.

Further, the formation of principle depends on the quanta of knowledge
at that point of time.

Hence principles are variables. Over period of time, they may change
and hence attitudes too.

What
is Peace?

It is a healthier and happier state of mind.

This is a state associated only to MIND
and Mental
World. It has no association with Physical World.

This state is achieved whenever, a cooperativity effect happens among
attitudes
( a group of them or all) where in
the attitudes
get more precisely aligned toward the TRUTH
or get aligned in the direction of TRUTH.

Cooperatativity Effect : is : 1+1 is NOT 2 - it can be any thing more
2 - which indicates the increased strength.

Peace is achieved when the thoughts/attitudes
are revisited/reorganized/re-touched/rejevunated using the recently
acquired knowledge and experience.

What
is Human ?? A Fine line : Animal to Human

when Animal becomes conscious of its responsibility
going beyond its animal instincts and selfishness - it becomes Human.

This would otherwise mean - conceptually - all those being called Human
based on physical and visible attributes
may not be in reality a HUMAN.

A human is more a MIND
related definition.

A human, as per this, is a more evolved species in the MIND,
in ATTITUDES,
and definitely NOT visible, physical attributes.

Hence, there are animals who are in the form of Humans and Humans
in the form of animals.
Watch out!!

what
is 'BEING' - the noun?

Being - "Been in" - as simple as this can go.

The Being can be energy in the form of potential or kinetic.
Likely it has the fastest way to transform from one form of energy to
another energy - and hence forms the basis and logical reason behind
MIRACLES and/or MAGICS in the visible/phyisical society.

Multi-faceted - I am defining for clarity and what I want it to mean to the reader - An ability to be an authority in many connected or not - connected disciplines of life, be it science or be it philosophy or be it doctor profession or be it music and arts - any thing.

Single domain Expertise - An ability to be an authority in one domain - say in mathematics , say in systems biology, say in art etc.

To become a superior human is to become multi-faceted. The more authority one has on the more diverse topics, the more wise, knowledgeable and intellegent the person is.
So, my aim has been to be multi-faceted. Thats the primary reason why I maintain blogs for many topics. To be multi-faceted means more energetic. I should also mention that it is such a wonderful reference to have so many Gods in India. These the reference frames to become better, to access the deepest energies inherent in every human. To evolve into a better human.

Without reference there is no progress. Some times this reference is called competition which is external. Some times it is called introspection - where you are comparing with some one much better inside you. Thats the reason why Gods have many faces. Even if you dont believe in God, which I believe in, from a scientific and personality development point of view, the concept of GOD, the tranditions and cultural values in India are far beyond the comprehension of a capitalist mind set at any time. They cannot understand. They will try to destroy, break and all other ego driven nonsense. Thats the primary reason why India is getting into western influence. Not that India wants to. It is compelled by the power mongers in the WEST, the envy of the Capitalist community. Okay getting back to the story of multi-faceted people and their advantages to the society, to the organization, to the community, to the progress : 

However, one of the many unfortunate consequences of western influence on a country like India is that Multi-faceted concept is considered outdated in the modern times. Earlier in almost all interviews in India, the boards expected the candidates have more credentials than just one. For example, if an scientist had expertise in say singing i.e Indian Classical  / Carnatic Music, it used to be considered a PLUS. Why ? It is not because the board are dumb fellows when compared to the present day criteria. 

1. The board had a sincere desire for Growth, had ethics, very high morale, social responsibility and intentions of well being of all the employees.
2. The board knew multifaceted personality adds huge value in providing better and pragmatic solutions
3. The board knew that these people are in general vibrant when compared to the others
4. The board knew multifaceted personalities have clear objectives, vision, mission, professional, frank and are potential leaders too.
5. They were conscious of their weaknesses and they wanted to complement with a genuine resource
6. They were so matured and committed to the vision that they shun the concepts of Control freaky character, ego maniac attitude and encouraged a true team work with fairness. Today unfortunately these terms are used for attracting ONLY.

I donot have the slightest clue why the decision makers and who have the power to spearhead a country are so dumb AS*** that they blindly follow and get convinced with the most rediculous proposals of obvious selfishness. Especially true with the Congress Government. Any way coming back to the story. 

This single domain expertise concept is suitable for countries where

1. there is very high demand for human resource and
2. there is also an immediate requirement.This is the case with western countries, especially with US. So it is understandable for them to device strategies which promote this type of single, narrow minded, less energetic, faster activities / tricks / gimmicks.
3. Moreover, from profitability point of view as well, US like countries wouldn't invest since the margins are very low and they have to spend huge amounts of money to access those resources. Further its is not a good business model to make faster money. They are behind short term and huge gains, not sustainable and long term and ethical life style. Of course, bottomline is: All this is the immatured philosophy of Capitalist community who are driving the country called US of A.
4. It is also a fear factor that they may loose the control and hence power. So, all this game plan is just for power mongers not truely for progress. This is truely for selfish ends.
5. Besides all this, the other important reason is: Single domain expertise is easy to manage. Diplomatically it is called - work on need to know basis . These people will never know about the comprehensive plans. They just work on the assigned work. If they act smart, they will be fired. The Board is still in control and got its work done and made its profits. Coming to a multi-faceted person, he will be able understand and read inbetween the sentences of the board. He will have the energy to criticize, raise voice against WRONG/RIGHT etc. This type of energy rich people and intellectual, knowledgeable people are considered - 'pain in the A**' by the boards of capitalist mentality, hence they started branding for single domain expertise only so they have a better control. 

Why are we, the Indians, a country so matured in the mind, so meditative, so much ahead of the world in the living and ethics of life, falling pray to those gimmicks?The reason is India is not having leaders, the ruling party is the worst curse for this country.

India has huge intellectual resource and huge man power and huge work force. It should try to enhance further this ability to build on its strengths rather than believing what the selfish business people have to say. Countries like India should look for Multi-faceted talent not single domain expertise. Single domain expertise is a very very old concept for India. It is no game to be an expert in one domain. It is a real challenge to be multi-faceted. 

Multi-faceted also means, better understanding, better control of self, better objectives, better decision making and better priorities, living a more full life. Instead of thinking the advantages, the ruling parties are just following the nonesense being dumped into our country. 

To give a practical example: It is because of single minded character, that the nobel prize winner , Dr. Venki could not behave as better human post noble prize announcement. He proved himself to be more ignorant than any normal Indian in India. More here 

So, lets try to inculcate Multi-faceted  life style than restricting and sitting in an igorant bin.

thats for now. 

This is another technique / trick used by ineligible candidates at a responsible position to avoid insults / weaknesses.

The phrase is: Don't you start blame game? 

The difference between BLAME and FACT is a very fine line. 

When a FACT passes through a EGO LENSE, the human wearing that EGO LENSE sees the FACT as BLAME.

I should admit here that, some time it may be a BLAME, but today most of the time, they are FACTS projected as BLAMES.

For Example: Talking to a HUMAN who has become (due to administrative strategies) or throwned (by influence rather than by Intellectual Contributions) as a Professor  - If a student cross questions his integrity in the field, the Professor will resort to the above phrase, rather contemplating about his weakness put before him by the student. 

This just an example - I faced this problem all my life. Employee/Employer Relationships, Wife/Husband relationship, Parent/child relationship and most of the human relations take a beating at some point of time and the relatively powered people use this as a strategy to avoid/escape/supress the situation. 

The problem is: lack of clarity, Lack of understanding, lack of introspection, lack of knowledge, ignorance. 

The solution: to become sportive - consider that: You are the chosen one where there is an opportunity to learn and climb the ladder to become a better character rather than getting entangled forever into the EGO. 

Life is about Learning, Responsibility and Loyalty. 

Just because, we cannot be perfect, we need NOT avoid the thought or the attempt to PERFECT any aspect on earth - inside or outside.

enjoy life, thats the beauty of life.

Simple thinking and small experiences indicate this fact very aptly.

Consider a hypothetical situation:
A Society / group, isolated from the rest of the world has only one gender. For now, lets consider that, the hypothetical society is 'XX'-Ladies/Gals. A guy enters that society.

This lady society has typical civilization that all are nude. Consider they have no dress code.

What are the possible reactions this guy has:
a) Initially he gets excited which might be driven by 2 possible reasons
1) He has been missing / desiring sex for a long time, hence his mind initiates all the signals for excitation
2) The other possible reason is driven the lady society who are excited which in turn excites this guy irrespective of him having time to identify whether it is his acceptance or his submission.

Sex is mutual which means, both the parties should be on same page to enjoy the happiness of 'love making'.
This means that both, the guy and gal, have been desiring for 'making love' and here is an opportunity, they have felt the happiness. The desire of making love is in the MIND which dictates the body, not the body dictating the mind.

Lets get into another argument.

The society is full of XX. Each one have decided to have the pleasure. May be for 5 - 50 continuous or consecutive 'love makings', he also enjoys. After that he will start hating himself. He would feel like a slave. He would start going through very intense introspection and frustration and depression. It becomes very mechanical. He doesnt enjoy 'making love' any more. He will erase the past, strongly held special opinions about 'XX' and their bodily attractions.

The question is "why it should become mechanical, with out involvement, even though, the guy has access to the most beautiful gals on earth - say ( relative to his previous experiences) ???". The bodies are same, the bodies are attracting, but the guy is no more getting attracted. He is pissed off about his state of life.
The simple reason is: MIND GETS SATURATED. ONCE MIND GETS SATURATED, LIFE BECOMES MISERABLE.

Consider one more situation:
This guy has a crush on a girl. The girl also develops crush. They decide for a date. On the night of the date, the guy is on bed, waiting in all anticipation, dreams, expectations about the girl and all that stuff, you know.
The girl comes in the most sexy lingerie and she appears she is all excited.

They do some foreplay. This girl suddenly stops, with a frank face reveals that she has some STD (sexually transmitted disease) - consider for argument sake.

The question : Will this guy go ahead and make love with that girl?
Most normal human beings will immediately loose all the heat, they would not take the risk of getting an STD because of this temporary pleasure.

The point which is worth concentrating is: He loosing the heat. The bodies, a few seconds before in heat, have lost all in seconds. What changed ?

The attitude about sex and the participant - some thought process has changed, which means, the MIND has changed the course of 'love making' to 'no love making'.

Hence, the bottom line is: SEX is in the MIND, not body.
This is valid for both males and females.
May be at the most, BODY may add some additional value to a situation, but its the attitude that matters,which gives the satisfaction.

So, one need not be proud of body, with out an attitude in MIND.

Where is problem:
The information passed on from our senses to the MIND is so immediate and so instantaneous that we almost forget that BODY and MIND are two separate entities. We forget and hence we identify ourselves with body almost on every aspect. This is exactly is called Illusion , Maya. If one becomes conscious of this fact and sees the world (Physical) and tries to understand the world from this stand point, he/she shall always be out of misery. Thats exactly is the start or initiation of detachment and discrimination. This is exactly, our Indian Sages, Saints, Ascetics have preached all through their life.

Many know this fact: Why I articulated it in my words is:
The youth are deliberately distracted from the core values of life and priorities of life by the marketing and sales gimmicks by the Businessmen around the world, especially because the Capitalist society is losing its motives, slowly and steadily.

Bottom Line: Indian Culture/ Indian way of living is an ideal balance between Mental and Physical world, with main stress on improving the Mental Capabilities, every second of living.

However, business, marketing, capitalists, seems like, have taken the oath of destroying the true way of living. How cheap and trivial is this thought and how ridiculous is attempting to prove it. Thats it 200 years, America has no more future. It lost its shine. Same thing will happen. Experience brings us back to track, some day.

Enjoy Life.

Slavery:

Need for Slavery:

Consequence of Slavery: No Progress, No Development, No Evolution - Essentially not serving the purpose of taking birth.

Slavery in the Past:
Slavery is always associated with depriving of . There are two types of slavery -

1. Physical Slavery &
2. Mental Slavery

Physical Slavery:

Argument Against:

This is a valid and very important question and the very reason for writing this note on what is slavery.

There are 3 Billion Cells (which is 3,000,000,000) in a human body. Consider similar number among all the organisms/animals around you.

All the microbial organisms such as bacteria, viruses and others have shown that they can live in isolation and/or in groups/colonies too.

Its not too much of a stretch to say that : Human body is a colony of microbial cells.

The only difference is: All these cells came together with a Higher Objective:

One thing is certain that these cells are far matured and they, voluntarily identified their purposes and differentiated in the way to give an optimum mobility and functioning.

It is that voluntary and passionate objective that today, we are calling ourselves Human Beings.

As it is clear: What we have to learn is:
a) Have an objective,
b) Work along with community with one objective
c) Unity in Diversity
d) Persistence and steadfastness to the objective : Even if some part is LOST, the objective should never be lost.

Consider for a second:

All these cells, on some unfortunate day, become polluted in their objective, because of 'kaliyuga':
All the cells want to have their own individualistic life, then do we exist?

Is there any thing to call ourselves, Human,Male, Female, Boy, Girl, Cat, Dog or what ever it is we use to classify our selves as evolved, higher, lower being.

Thats the reason why saints of Indian origin especially, say that the body is an illusion.
The body has to be used to understand the higher objective i.e the self which is able to coordinate and live in symbiosys with all the cells and communicate with the Mental world.

So, one should be conscious of this fact and try serving the others.

Will the cells get ever polluted? May be NOT - thats the good news:
Why ? The simple answer is: The cells are in ecstasy and all are in blissful consciousness because of the challenge they have taken up - stick together and work towards the objective of understanding the NATURE and nature(self).

So, what is the objective of a Human being is:
INTROSPECT - and NOTHING ELSE. CONCENTRATE and try to talk to these individual cells and with their cooperation move into the world of MIND and explore the greater challenges to finally realize the truth and become one with the TRUTH which is GOD/Supreme Energy or what ever we can call.

To be clear: Indian Saints, like Sai baba, Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa have truly worked with this objective and became one with the truth besides being in FLESH and BODY, which is even more difficult and bigger challenge.

If you think further, you will be able answer all the miracles etc..that happen around us.

To end: to do all this: its just your commitment to your body and nothing else. Theres not one penny involved. Thats exactly is the way an Indian was living in the past. Since the reason is lost, they consider living like the WEST has showcased is the right way. Its all ignorance and lack of Knowledge.

But the West / Capitalist world has added Horizontal value to the Physical life and NOT further depth.
In reality, the progress of human being has stopped because of this illusionary objective created - to conquer the physical world.

Physical world is extremely trivial when compared to the beauty of living beyond this physical body.

If you have come to this stage of my notes, you are on the path of progress.
thank you

We are nervous -> we are loosing our confidence.

Why are we loosing confidence -> Confidence is built on reasons and facts around us, we have been exposed to and we have made our selves conscious of all those reasons. Most of the time, we will not be conscious of all the reasons and fact which is the culprit here.

Further, it is limited in the interpretation - Half knowledge is weak and dangerous - Hence CONFIDENCE is dangerous.Depending on Confidence is always Risky.

These current reasons and facts you are conscious of, have proved weak. They are NOT sufficient to give you enough energy to keep up the confidence.
Hence, you are in a confused state.
You have not processed your thoughts properly.

Lack of clarity i.e confused state i.e unprocessed thoughts or half-baked thoughts is Depression/Nervousness.

The solution is "Patience".
Why Patience:

The reason is: It is extremely difficult to build one self based on Faith.

What is faith: The reasons and facts based on Absolute Truth (what is truth - click here).

Looking/Studying/Observing towards truth steadfastly, persistently is Faith.

Faith can be realized only when Confidence fails to support / proved its weakness or one should be knowledgeable about the existence of Faith and Confidence apriori.

Reason is a thought's state.
This essentially means, a thought can have many states.

This further takes us to the analogy that: A thought in the mental world is equivalent to the electron in the physical world.
