Bring Awareness !

 


A man with eight doctorate degrees met a monk. He was proud of his achievement. The monk asked him: "Why have you been so foolish in life?"


The man said, "But... you don’t understand! I have eight PhDs".


The monk said: "I have understood you; it is foolish to spend the best part of life reading instead of enjoying the birds, the stars and the moon".


One may have all the know-ledge but not clarity. One may know a lot and yet understand nothing. There is a difference between knowing and understanding.


Swami Sukhabodhananda says , Not knowing the difference between understanding and knowing leads to confusion. You have many centres: intellectual, emotional and physical. In each there is a mechanical and magnetic part. The mechanical part acts like a machine while the magnetic part acts with more awareness. You have to transform yourself. Your mechanical movements and thinking have to change. One’s mechanical likes and dislikes have to change, too. Mechanical emotions like jealousy and hatred have to be transformed. You can do this by bringing in more awareness.


There is no greater force than awareness. When one increases awareness, even poison can turn into medicine and with no awareness a medicine can become poison. A king dreamt that he was a beggar. In his dream his guru told him the truth that he was a king and not a beggar. Now was he to argue with his guru or just wake up?


Bring in more awareness and see the transformation of life. Even inert objects have life. With loving awareness treat any object and it will guide you mysteriously. Your intuition and purity have to increase to receive this message.


Increase awareness and love. Let there be choice. 'Should’ creates stress and limits you to only one option. Choose not to judge. It is not a demand but a wise choice.

Skin Problems And Its Herbal Treatment

Dastkar -The Nature Bazaar

  I always buy some fancy things in the exhibitions. I buy what I like & I don’t think of buying as an investment because the fashions change, different things go in and out of favour and values will go up as well as down. I buy to get enjoyment out of the piece for the years to come & if it becomes valuable then that’s an added bonus. Recently I visited Dastkar Exhibition “The Nature Bazaar” at Palace grounds, Bangalore. Dastkar is a society for crafts and craftspeople. It’s a useful organization that brings artisans of different parts of India under one roof to enable them to sell directly to the public avoiding middlemen. They conduct exhibition cum sales in various cities and give a boost to the exposure, sales and working dynamics of the traditional crafts in this modern age. Dastkar helps the crafts people to use their own skills & as a means of employment, income generation and economic self- sufficiency. I visited most of the stalls and I thoroughly enjoyed it. ...

Bellary Mining Scam - Scam Of The Century.

  Will our country ever come out of scams? There is a scam in every single step in this nation. Bhopal Gas Scam, Bofors scams, IPL Scams, Flood relief fund scam etc. From past several weeks the issue of illegal mining in Karnataka has been rocking both the Houses. The political parties have insisted that nothing short of a CBI enquiry would bring out the truth on illegal mining, as it involved inter-state and international operations in view of the large-scale export of iron ore. Last week in Karnataka the opposition political party members stayed in the Assembly overnight, sleeping in the lobby, with no let-up in their demand for a CBI enquiry into what Leader of the Opposition termed a “Rs 20,000 crore scam”. The government, in its reply to a debate on illegal mining in the Assembly admitted that over three crore tonnes of iron ore was illegally shipped from ports of the state in the past seven years, including over one crore tonnes in the last two years. In the legislative Counc...
