Exploring the truth...

It’s the end of 2011 today. I have so many thoughts to put down. Let’s see how I can be short and precise; it’s difficult!
This year was the centenary of discovery of atom. Bohr told a century ago that the entire Universe is made of atoms. Later came electrons, protons, nucleons, quarks, neutrinos, and further down to what has still not been made public. But does it mean that science is ultimate?? Does it mean that everything science is discovering today never existed before?? Does it mean that what science doesn't recognize is superstition??
NO.

Science has become like a religion today; I mean it’s taught in schools from the very young age. It’s the major belief system today. It’s installed a notion in people today that what one sees is true. Well, what science has been discovering from the past two centuries has always existed; may it be X-rays, UV rays, IR, photons, inert elements, quarks or other particles. It’s only that technology has been developing and science only recognizes things that can be detected with present technology, which means there might still be millions of miles to go. I also wrote the monkey experiment in a previous blog. Darwin’s theory is filled with loop holes. Many scientists today believe in and acknowledge pre-historic civilizations, which means that there existed many human civilizations in history whose science was as/more advanced than today's. There have been many discoveries in the past few decades which, if made public, can change the present day textbooks and conventions. Mr. Li Hongzhi explains with a scientific background very clearly and profoundly various so-called-superstitions in his book Zhuan Falun. Even the elite among the intellectuals are awestruck by the wonderful explanations.

What I want to finally convey is: there have been many prophecies and other philosophies about 2012. Science may be true, but its definitely limited. What if the the prophecies are true. We need to look at things with wisdom, higher truth and unlearn. This short movie "Village of the Watermills - Akira Kurosawass Dreams" also gives a wonderful message.

Its time you question 'what if?' and also get answers... :) :) :)
Let us acknowledge n realize this deep within as we bid farewell to 2011. May 2012 lead us to higher wisdom, purity n morality. :-):-):-)

Keep Smilin..!!:-)

Let Go... Fear...

This was a nice and a very critical realization today, thanks to my colleague/friend Srini.

I was also watching ZNMD again today and I have found this one of the best recent time movies I have seen. The learning from it about letting go of all fears is superb. :)

In fact the thought Srini put forward was also similar: People do not take risks and bigger steps as they have Fear... And the biggest fear is the fear of death.
Why does a person even do major operations though they are very painful (and I think an ordinary man always fears pain)? Coz death is a bigger fear and he doesn't mind the huge pain to avoid/postpone death. But without realizing the truth of the reason and the cause.

I recently also came across this on a TV soap - the example here was common cold: if a person suffers from common cold, there are 2 ways to cure it, viz., 1. do not do anything and you will be fine in 7 days, 2. consult a/many doctor/s and undergo medication and you will be fine in 7 days..!! W-O-W..!!

Let go.. Let Go.. Let GO.. is the moral and purpose of human life. If you have got a chance, do interact with people who have seen death and survived; all of their experiences would say that they felt relief, light, free from bondage... Some would also feel a sense of excitement... and yet, none of them would be scared at the moment of death. :) :) :)
And people who experience death and live usually change the entire style of living and then comes the purpose. :) :) :)... the purpose of life...

Keep smiling. :) :) :)

Sion to Sion... with Chandni Parekh

It was 4th of December, Sunday, at Mumbai; a long day, many experiences and a lot of exposure.
I have 4 long stories to share but I will make them short and elaborate on somee\ of them later. ;)

I'd like to dedicate this blog to a dear friend (the day started at Sion where my angel of the day, my friend, picked me up, and ended at Sion where she dropped me back!) who gave me the opportunity to use the day the way it was.

 (In chronological order:)

1. Vikas Khanna: It came as a surprise and a gift to me to meet him. I have been a big fan; a person of that stature and who has achieved what every common man would wish to; yet so compassionate, so nice, so soft spoken, so grounded; the benevolence, the smile, the innocence... he only humbles me more and teaches me to be better everyday. The innocent smile, the charming eyes, an affectionate tone, his belief system, among everything else about and around him; only increased my respect and regard for him. Those 5-8 minutes of time were fantastic. I will never forget the way he taught the two of us to make chai... wow, the way he connected it to a person's life and the confidence he gave... just awesome!!!

2. Debate on existence of God: I don't mind but I won't mention the names here. But trust me, a very well-known and proclaimed religious/spiritual speaker becomes diplomatic on the topic and takes the audience on a ride. It only saddened me. :(
I have an understanding after a lot of deep study that "what you believe Is true" is a wrong notion. 'What is right Is Right. What is wrong Is Wrong.' Right can't become wrong just coz someone believes it. That's an insult and undermining of the great laws of the Grand Universe.

3. Ekatwa: A group of 16 children from the slums of Ahmadabad staged a performance on human values based on Gandhian principles. This was jointly created by Manav Sadhna and Darpana Academy of Performing Arts. The message of Truth, Love and Oneness that came from these children, who hail from backgrounds that will only make one feel pity about, but yet so mature and understanding, was really very touching. Hundreds in the audience were moved . More than the performance alone, it was the values that they gave away that got a thunderous applause (it literally went on for minutes and we were forced to stop applauding) and a standing ovation.
I saw here, in those children and everyone around, what I wished to see in a proclaimed spiritual speaker!
There was peace and bliss, above all emotions, and a lot of wisdom to take away from the entire team. :)

4. The Taj Mahal Palace: Trust me, the reason I went to the book-reading here was the venue, very primarily. But it was an adventure of its kind. I was discussing state-run-media, economic and social conspiracies and movies 'Zeitgeist' and 'Wake Up Call' with my friends at the venue, and, there they were: the elite (socio-economic elite I mean)!! No offence to the good people there (there were nice people too, including the hero of the show!) but I had not seen a bigger show-off in terms of attitude, in terms of lack-of-common-sense, in terms of responsibility towards nature, in terms of the right understanding of and purpose of life, etc... Everything was really so unreal!!

I was aware but not exposed to such extremes (that too in a single day!!): *extremes of moral values, *extremes in thought process, *extremes in socio-economic trends, *extremes in way-of-life, *extremes in the way the life is perceived and understood, and what not!

I expect from myself to share a few more thoughts about the Sunday soon. :)

The day of course was filled with nice friends, nice talks, healthy chats, priceless moments, laugh, fun and frolic, delicious meals and all smiles. :) :) :)

A long sunday... :) :) :)

Keep Smiling.. :) :) :)
