Behind simplicity lies a lot of hard work…

Simplifying Education: The Teacher’s Secret

Have you ever had a math teacher who made solving complex equations feel like a cakewalk? 📚🧮 They had a knack for simplifying the most challenging concepts, didn’t they? But have you ever wondered what’s hidden behind that simplicity?

The Teacher’s Dedication: Knowledge and Hard Work

Great teachers, like the one we fondly remember, possess a deep understanding of their subject and put in a tremendous amount of hard work to make it easy for their students. It’s not just about being intelligent; it’s about having the knowledge, dedication, and commitment to teach.

Life’s Lessons: Facing Challenges with Ease

In life, the same principle applies. Those who effortlessly tackle challenges and calmly work through problems have often gathered invaluable life experiences from facing both the ups and downs.

The Wardrobe Chronicles: A Battle of Order and Chaos

Every month, I take some time to organize my wardrobe meticulously. I neatly arrange all my T-shirts, shirts, and everything else in their designated spots. This makes my mornings a breeze for the next week as I can easily find the shirts and T-shirts I need for work.

However, as time goes by, things tend to return to their chaotic, randomly scattered state. By the end of the month, it becomes a challenge to locate the specific T-shirt I want to wear and where it’s hiding.

The cycle repeats itself each month. I set aside one or two hours for the arduous task of rearranging my wardrobe, and this effort simplifies my life for the following week. It’s a constant battle between maintaining order and succumbing to the allure of disorder.

The Hidden Effort: Simplicity’s Paradox

The paradox of simplicity is that it often conceals the immense effort invested in making things appear easy. Consider, for example, cleaning your mobile apps or organizing the files on your laptop. It might seem like a straightforward task, but in reality, it demands time and effort. However, once you’ve invested that effort, it becomes remarkably simple to find what you need.

Organizing Digital Life: Mobile App Mastery

It took me approximately two days to organize all the apps on my mobile device. I created separate folders for different categories, such as video-related apps, finance-related apps, and study-related apps. As a result, I now have just two screens to swipe through on my mobile.

This organization method has made life much simpler. All my apps are neatly grouped in folders, making it a breeze to find specific apps like Netflix or Google Pay.

The Art of Making Complexity Simple

As you read this article, you might find it easy to understand and relate to. But that’s not by chance. Behind these words lies the effort to present complex ideas in a simple and digestible manner.

Acknowledging the Effort: A Tribute to Mastery

So, the next time you see a clear and simple solution to a problem or task, appreciate the hard work that went into making it that way. It’s a testament to human ingenuity and the relentless pursuit of making the complex seem effortless.

In Conclusion: The Mastery of Simplicity

In the end, simplicity is not the absence of effort; it’s the mastery of it.

You Needn’t Be Exceptional: Success Awaits Ordinary People

Do you ever wonder how many individuals in the world possess the genius of Zeff Bezos, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, or Mukesh Ambani? Or perhaps you ponder the scarcity of modern-day Leonardo da Vinci and Einstein?

These individuals are undeniably rare, and their brilliance is truly extraordinary. But here’s the real question: Do you believe that you, too, can attain such extraordinary status?

The answer may surprise you. While it’s possible, it’s essential to acknowledge that the odds are indeed slim. However, on the flip side of this coin, there are countless ordinary people scattered throughout the world who have achieved remarkable success in their respective fields.

The Power of Ordinary Success

The encouraging news is that you can join the ranks of these individuals. You can become an average person who excels extraordinarily. Success, after all, is a matter of personal choice, and its definition varies from one person to another.

The key is to discover something you are genuinely passionate about, something you can engage in wholeheartedly, even in the absence of an audience to applaud your efforts. When you find that one thing, life becomes simpler and more fascinating.

Finding Your Passion

This pursuit can take many forms — be it reading, writing, drawing, or an endless array of other activities, each unique to the individual. However, it’s crucial to note that this one thing should not be an activity like binge-watching Netflix, which is unproductive and merely a time-waster.

The Path to Happiness and Success

To find happiness and achieve success, there’s no need to be extraordinary or exceptional. Instead, all you have to do is identify that one thing you can do easily and passionately, consistently.

So, the next time you find yourself marveling at the extraordinary, remember that the path to success doesn’t always require extraordinary abilities. 

It simply demands unwavering dedication, passion, and a willingness to embrace your uniqueness. Success is attainable for ordinary people, just like you.

Start your journey today, and who knows, you might be the next name on the list of ordinary individuals who achieved extraordinary success.

Unveiling the Mysteries: The 7 Hermetic Principles

The 7 Hermetic Principles from “The Kybalion“:

“The Kybalion” explores the teachings of Hermes Trismegistus, an ancient sage. It centers around the seven Hermetic principles, or Universal laws, that govern the universe.

1. Mentalism:

  • This principle asserts that the universe is fundamentally mental in nature. Everything originates from and exists within the realm of the mind.
  • It emphasizes the power of thought and the idea that our thoughts create our reality. Positive, focused thoughts lead to positive outcomes.
  • Mentalism teaches that understanding the workings of the mind is crucial for achieving personal growth and mastery over one’s life.

2. Correspondence:

  • “As above, so below; as below, so above” encapsulates this principle. It means that there is a correspondence or similarity between the macrocosm (the larger universe) and the microcosm (the smaller universe, such as an individual).
  • Understanding this principle allows us to see patterns and connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena. It promotes holistic thinking and the idea that the universe operates according to consistent laws.

3. Vibration:

  • The Vibration principle asserts that everything is in a constant state of motion and vibration, even if it’s not apparent to our senses.
  • Each object, thought, and emotion has its own unique vibrational frequency. Understanding and harmonizing with these frequencies can lead to mastery over one’s experiences and surroundings.
  • This principle underlines the idea that energy and matter are interconnected and mutable.

4. Polarity:

  • Polarity teaches that everything has two opposite poles, or aspects. These opposites are merely extremes of the same thing.
  • Understanding polarities helps find balance and harmony in life. For instance, good and bad are not entirely separate; they are two ends of a spectrum.
  • Mastery over polarities involves transcending extreme positions and finding the middle path.

5. Rhythm:

  • The Rhythm Principle emphasizes the cyclical nature of everything. Life has its ups and downs, and there are patterns and rhythms to these changes.
  • Awareness of these rhythms allows one to make more informed decisions and adapt to life’s fluctuations.
  • By aligning one’s actions with natural rhythms, individuals can enhance their effectiveness and well-being.

6. Cause and Effect:

  • Cause and Effect states that every cause has an effect, and every effect has a cause. There are no random events in the universe; everything happens for a reason.
  • Understanding this principle empowers individuals to take responsibility for their actions and choices.
  • By consciously choosing causes, one can predict and control their effects, leading to more intentional and purposeful living.

7. Gender:

  • In this context, gender doesn’t refer solely to male and female but to the masculine and feminine principles present in all things.
  • Balancing these principles within oneself leads to greater harmony and wholeness. It’s about integrating qualities like action and receptivity, strength and gentleness.
  • Recognizing and embracing both aspects of gender can enhance personal growth and relationships.

These Hermetic Principles offer profound insights into the nature of reality and personal transformation. They provide a framework for understanding the universe and offer practical guidance for achieving greater wisdom and mastery over one’s life.

If You still want to deep dive into these 7 principles, you will find them here.

Can you manage your time?

“”Time is money””

            –Benjamin Franklin

“We all sorely complain of the shortness of time, and yet have much more than we know what to do with. Our lives are either spent in doing nothing at all, or in doing nothing to the purpose, or in doing nothing that we ought to do. We are always complaining that our days are few and acting as though there would be no end of them.”

                                           ————— Lucius Annaeus Seneca

What do you think; can you manage your time? How do you manage your time? You start thinking this question and one minute of your life is gone. Now again you are thinking, what! One minute gone! And your next is minute is also going to complete soon.

This is the power of time. No one has power to control this time. You can only control time if you can understand the formula of Einstein.

E=mc^2.

Here E= Energy, c=speed of light (3 x 10^8 m/s) and m=mass.

If you can travel in a speed more than the speed of light then only you can control the time and you will be ahead of time. You will be beyond time and space.

So now you can understand how hard the concept of time management.

It means no human being can manage or control time.

God is very smart. God has given everyone same twenty-four hours in a day. Same twenty-four hours for prime minister or president of a country, to all celebrities, to all billionaire and to all millionaires, for me and for you.

Then where is the difference. The difference is how we can use these twenty-four hours in daily basis.

“Jab tak jan hai, tab tak time hai” it means till the time we have life we have our time.

It was said by one of my friend to me. This sentence motivated me to postpone my important works till tomorrow.

After listening to this sentence I started postponing my life’s goals. I kept aside my to-do list and start enjoying more with social media and videos. After few days I read the book Think and grow rich-by Napoleon Hill.

I read this book often. I just pick it up and read one or two pages randomly.

That day I saw a line which gave goose bump in my body. One line that changed whole of my thinking process:

“The goal you could achieve one year ago and you are still postponing it for tomorrow to take your first step”

This sentence has blown away my mind. Then I realized that,

The biggest problem we have with respect to time is that we think we have enough time with us.

But there is GOOD NEWS for you.

You should not worry seeing all these difficult equations.

It is final that you can’t control your time. But you have control on your productivity. God has given this power to you. You can prioritize your work as per your goal.

You have 10 tasks to complete and one of them is to complete a web series on Netflix by next two days. And one task is to complete your resume to apply for your next better job. Now how can you increase your productivity by which you can take a step for your better future? Is it difficult to decide now? No right?

If you can stop watching Netflix series you can save your three to four hours easily. Three to four hours is more than enough to update your CV. This is just an example. You can prioritize your work as per your goal. So you can increase your efficiency and productivity within the same period of time which is available for everyone.

Brain is a muscle. This is your first step. Once you start compromising your unproductive time waster like social media, TV etc. gradually your brain muscle will become stronger and your will power to select the best work amongst two or three will be easy for you. You will start selecting the productive work for you from your to do list to start.

Conclusion is that you can’t manage your time, you can manage your priority and thus you can increase your productivity and efficiency.

This is the mantra of time management.

To utilize your twenty four hours passionately you should have a daily code of conduct. I read the daily statement mentioned by Robin Sharma in his book Who will cry when you die. You can also use this for your daily reminder or you can create your own

“Over the next twenty-four hours I vow to appreciate this day, as it is all I really have, and to use every minute wisely and fully. So much can be done over the next twenty-four hours to advance my life’s agenda and complete my legacy.”

“You can’t escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today”

Why child of a scientist doesn’t always become a scientist

“Greatness is not a function of circumstance.

Greatness, it turns out, is largely a matter of conscious choice”

                                          —Jim Collins, Good to Great

“It is a rough road that leads to the heights of greatness”

                                          —  Seneca

When I was in class 12th, our Physics teacher was like a scientist. So we named him Mr. Scientist.  Every student loved him from heart. He was always got first rank and gold medallist in his entire education career. Because of his high level of concept delivery method, we could not understand his teachings properly.

I had an impression that, though we didn’t understand and couldn’t follow his teachings properly, his son must be as like him and definitely a great student.

One day I came to know that his son failed in 12th science exam last year.

I was shocked. How come son of Mr. Scientist could fail in 12th examination?

That question was stuck in my mind for long time. I started observing successful, intelligent people and compare their children with them as and when I get a chance to do so.

I started looking to know about the children of great scientist like Sir Einstein, Thomas Alva Edison and many more. Their children may be in good position in their lives but still not as famous or successful as their father or mother.

I concluded one thing after so many years of observation that:

Success is not always related to heredity.

Definition of Success is different from person to person. Success for one person may be to get a Job, for another person may be a great family. Some others may be to have own company, for some may be millionaire or billionaire. So everyone has his/her own success definition and success story.

But here I am talking about success in simple term, a reputed position in a society, to understand the topic easily.

After my conclusion that Success is not always related to heredity, I started searching for what is the reason why a scientist’s children do not always become scientist. Likewise a Doctor’s children do not always become doctor; IAS’s children do not always an IAS, a great business man’s children do not always a great businessman.

Even the reverse is also possible. We have seen many good news about becoming IAS officers and doctors and Engineers, and successful business person whose parents have nothing. Even their parents may not even seen school in their life time. They are self-made successful men or women.

I researched; I read so many books on success, attitude and topics related to success.

Finally I concluded one thing:

Success is all depends on Your Intension and Dedication.

Intension is your primary source of all your achievements in life. All universal forces will work and support you towards your intension. Intension is your spirit, your emotions, your feelings, your beliefs. This works from inside out, not from outside in.

Dedication is your commitment to achieve your intension. Commitment means you are committed to achieve whatever is your desire without any excuses. If you have excuses, ready with you, then you are not committed. You are just interested.

Alan Brown first coach of John Assaraf asked this question to him, “Are you committed or interested in achieving a goal”.

If these two forces intension and dedication work together in harmony no one can stops you from achieving anything in your life.

This is the reason a scientist’s son/daughter doesn’t always become a scientist. Same is applicable for all other scenarios too.

Parents became successful because of their own intension and dedication. Children have their own intension and dedication.  So success level of parents and children can’t always be of same level and not depends on heredity.

Why do we always remember our First kiss?

When I had my first kiss I felt like I had been shot through the heart with a bolt of energy.

You can forget your wife’s birthday or even your marriage day, but I am sure you still remember your first kiss. I am not talking about the date of your first kiss. I am talking about the felling of your first kiss.

You are smiling from inside now. Though you can’t express your feelings now in front of anybody else, but you are feeling ecstatic remembering your first kiss.

Yes, you can take a pause in reading and remember your first kiss with full of feelings.

Nothing to worry about your wife or husband. They can’t enter your brain to see about whom you are actually thinking. They won’t know that it was not him or she.

It was totally a different world and different person. But for you that HE or SHE may be your current spouse too.

So person to person feelings may vary, but everyone remembers his/her first kiss.

Now come to the main point. Why we can remember our first kiss, that day or person or situation easily.

This all related to your brain and hormones released by your brain. One hormone is called Dopamine. It is also named as “Happy Hormone

So when you kissed for the first time Dopamine released in your brain for the first time for that sensation or feelings or happiness. So our whole body, mind experience that happiness for the first time. First time of anything good makes us happy. So this is true for all other good experiences too. You can remember easily all first day things which make you happy.

After that gradually that happy feeling start getting diluting as our mind and body both senses that releasing of happy hormones often and become used to it.

Game of our mind:

This is the game of our mind and emotions.

Brain is the organ of this mind and the cerebro-spinal system of nerves puts us in conscious communication with every part of the body. This system of nerves responses to every sensation of light, heat, odor, sound and taste.

So Dopamine, the happy hormone is one of the main reasons of our happy mode and remembering good memories easily.

Positive Learnings during COVID-19

How COVID-19 has impacted us

2012

When Hollywood movie 2012 was released in 2009, it was bit confusing that is really world is going to destroy in 2012.

After watching movie 2012, I felt like world will be like Hollywood zombie movies. Only very few human will left out and they will travel here and there and fight with each other for a piece of bread.

But we witnessed that it didn’t happen and we are in normal condition.

I thought 2012 was also a kind of most of the Hollywood movies where all the un-earthy destructive power reach earth and destroy NEW YORK CITY every time.

But why this Hollywood movie was made with name 2012 and showing all the destruction of this world. Why not 2013. Though most of us think that 13 is an unlucky number.

Sylvia Browne was a New York Times bestselling author and world famous psychic gave a hint to the 2012 in her famous book “Ends of Days”.

She narrated about two old cultural civilizations the Maya and Cherokee and how they related to 2012.

The Maya:

The Mayan Civilization is thought to have been born in the Yucatan Peninsula in about 2500 BC with a society of fifteen million people.

They excelled brilliantly in astronomy, hieroglyphic writing, science, mathematics, art, farming, weaving, architecture, and creating highly technical, intricate calendar system.

Mayan calendar which consisted of cycles of 264 days, each day having one of twenty names represented by its own symbol.

The Mayan calendar ends on December 21, 2012.

The Cherokee:

The Cherokee are an intensely spiritual civilization who believed that each morning humankind should give thanks to the creator, to mother earth and to all good things.

Many of their predictions had already come true:

e.g.:

1.  A cobweb would be built across the world through which people would talk:

     A few hundred years after this prophesy, telephone lines reached into virtually every corner of the globe.

2. The eagle would someday fly in the night and land on the moon.

In 1969 the safe arrival on the moon of the Apollo 11 spacecraft was announced

     By astronaut Neil Armstrong to NASA control room with the simple words,

     “The eagle has landed.”

These are only two examples. There are list of their prophesies which were come true already.

The Cherokee calendar system also ends in year 2012.

Needless to say, it’s no coincidence that the Cherokee and Mayan calendars end in year 2012.

So it may be expected that movie 2012 was made based on some these kind of indications.

But thanks to God that it didn’t happen like movie 2012 and we are still here.

Earth is safe:

The good news is Earth is safe.

The Holy Vedas are accepted as originally spoken by the Lord himself to Brahma, from within his heart. The principles of religion are laid down in the Vedas.

In the Holy Rig Veda it is saying that everything was started with heat.

Even moon was also has heat and part of the earth.

Afterwards moon has lost his all heat.

Now Sun is the source of all the heat. Sun, still retains a great deal of heat, but it is not so intense as it was in the beginning. However a time will come when the sun will cool down to darkness and no more fountain of light and heat in its plan.

At that time earth will become a mass of solid. no air, no lakes, no animal, no humankind, nothing.

That time according to Aryan calculations is 2,333,227,018 years distance.

Modern scientific findings have reaffirmed the statement of this Vedic declaration.

So now we are happy that at least Earth is not going to end so early. World is not going to end in its natural process now.

Current situation and Prophesy

Bill Gates:

A viral video of Bill gates from a TED talk show in 2015 he mentioned few noticeable points as below:

For Global Catastrophe-

Who is more harmful: Not Missiles but Micros, It is not war it is Virus.

We have invested a lot in nuclear deterrence but not in a system to stop epidemic that happened like in back 1918.

We are not ready for the next epidemic.

Corona Virus Prophesy by Sylvia Browne:

Sylvia Browne

In the book “END of DAYS” Sylvia Browne, who was a physic from her age three, did the prediction about Corona virus as below:

“In around 2020 a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments. Almost more baffling than the illness itself will be the fact that it will suddenly vanish as quickly as it arrived, attack again ten years later, and then disappear completely.”

Shocking prophesy which came true and we are witnessing it now.

Knowledge is Power

We know knowledge is the power. If we don’t know something we need to educate ourselves.

What now Government and every doctor and experienced people are trying to spread their messages about how we can protect ourselves from Corona or any kind of information related to COVID19 which can be helpful for all of us.

During this lock down period, I watched a video of Dr.Biswaroop Roy Chowdhury.

He said in his video that Corona Virus may exists even before humankind. It may be here till the time earth was created. But we didn’t know about it till the time we have an advanced microscope to see it.

I have read Holy Vedas and after listening to his video I realized one thing,

We can’t think of knowledge by eliminating God from his creation. After all what is knowledge? What is Physics? Or metaphysics? It is not with reference to our great creation? It is just a little activity in the dynamic world in a particular parameter.

Vedic Theism is a concept of dynamic reality. The supreme reality is our concern every moment. We might ignore him, as we usually do, but he doesn’t neglect us.

“The cosmic energy is the generator of the Universe, the

Embryo of waters, the leader of humans, most virile defender of human race.

It remains ever illuminated by its own radiance and

It provides sustenance for its beloved progeny.

(Rig Veda. 3.1.12)

Mind Body relationship:

“In this creation are held in balance the three regions, terrestrial, interspatial and celestial, and the three divine realms pertaining to body, mind and spirit provided with three eternal functions- physical, mental and transcendental.”

(Rig Veda. 2.27.8)

Dr.Deepk Chopra (MD) serves as a clinical professor at the University of California, San Diego and author of 89 books, numerous New York Times bestsellers, in his book “Perfect Health-The complete mind body guide” said about the relationship between body and mind.

He said,how different emotions and anxiety can reduce our immunity power.

With stress and anxiety,stress hormone “cortisol” released by the adrenal glands, of our brain which reduces our immunity power.

If we are happy and have something interesting, and exciting brain releases “dopamine” the happy hormone, which is good for heath.

That’s why “laughing club” is becoming popular in recent days.

So in such scenarios we should try to be in control of our stress and anxiety.

“When you cannot

Control a situation…

You must learn to

Control yourself.”

Jhon Assaraf

That’s why now a day’s people are more inclined towards Yoga, meditations and mindfulness.

Yoga synchronizes mind body relationship and meditations and mindfulness not only relaxes your brain, it also exercises the brain’s ability to focus.

Fast Life becomes Slow

Our “Autopilot” mode is now become “Stop” mode.

Now a days instead of mindfulness we work with “mindlessness”.

Mindlessness is the state of being so preoccupied with the list of things we have to do that we realize we don’t remember how we got from point A to point B, like from home to office in a car.

This results irritable, rushed, emotionally unavailable, anxious and depressed.

We drive to our office 15Km, 20Km and reache office, without enjoying any beautiful moment in the whole route.

Our driving is controlled by our subconscious mind whereas our conscious mind is busy in thinking of reports, presentations, VC, about boss, what would he say and all.

Sometimes we are so “mindlessness” that even we don’t remember the taste of the Sabji (food) that we took in our breakfast, and the worst part is that sometimes we don’t even remember what was in breakfast.

Mindfulness, on the other hand, means developing the ability to tolerate that anxiety and tension without being swept away.

Neuroplasticity:

Our brain is made of “gray matter”, it is nothing but of a size of a dot

( –>.<– ) i.e. kind of grain of sand.

This dot size is actually made up of special nerve cells called neurons.

One such dot sized grain can contain as many as 100,000 of these neurons.

These 100,000 neurons communicate with one another by sending signals called synapses.

This is just about 1 dot. Like this in our brains we have billions of ‘dot” and trillions of connections.

So now we can imagine how complicated our brain is!

The repeating task makes repeating of same signalling paths and thus path becomes stronger and stronger day by day and finally become habit after 21 days/66 days (we are discussing about this next).

In simple language it is like follow the same route while walking on a green field over and over makes a distinct route that is easy to identify later.

These things are well described by John Assaraf in his book “Innercise” and by psychotherapist PhD Richard O’Connor in his book “Rewire”.

Habit formation:

Motivational speaker Robin Sharma said that as per new research of University College of London, habit creation needs 66 days continuous process to hardwire our brain to make it a habit and free our will power from that particular task.

They have divided these 66 days in 3 parts (each of approximately 20 days)

Still after reading many books on habit creation I found that new habit formation is wide-ranging from person to person based on his intention and interest and may vary from 4 to 90 days.

May be by seeing the science backed reason Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji given a 21 days lock down so that after that it will become easy for us to stay at home for some more days if required.

MORE in Life:

More. We always want more. Even if we have accomplished all we have dreamed of or desired, perhaps we have noticed that there is a part of you that keeps nudging us toward whatever is next.

Sadhguru, the mystic says, every animal’s life ends two lines.

Ground line (Birth) and one upper line. In between these two lines their only thinking is to how to find food to serve their empty stomach.

But in case of human we have only one line i.e. ground line. There is no limit of the upper line. Our expectations, desires increases as we reach our milestones one by one.

BK Shivani of Brahmakuri says, “BUSY” word is a very dangerous word and once we start saying it, it drains down all our energy, like discharging of a mobile battery.

We fully charged our mobile battery before leaving for office or business.

But what about us. Our energy drained even after lunch period.  Mindfulness is a way through which we can recharge ourselves after a periodic interval.

BK Shivani said this as “traffic control”.

Dr. Deepak Chopra gives a way to calm and relax our mind at any moment is by doing STOP. STOP means:

Arianna Huffingtone, a member of Oprah’s Super Soul 100, is the co-founder, president and editor in chief of the Huffington Post Media Group, one of the world’s most influential news and information brands writes in her book “Thrive” how she had changed and start living her life from a frenetic to a well being life.

She taught us a very simple and the fastest way to achieve most of the things from our to-do list.

She gave example how she learned German language in just one day.

How…!!! She had a dream to learn German language and many more things to do in her life. These pending to-do list always push her in back of her mind and made an unknowing stress.

One day she realized that she can learn German by just deleting that task from her to do list.

Now she is mentally free and relaxed. Likewise she had completed many other task by deleting those from her to-do list.

I found it very interesting. Last year I joined in 3 different courses to upgrade myself with new technology like Artificial intelligence, Machine Learning and Internet of Things.

But I ended up with only one certificate. Removing other two subjects from my to-do list :).

4 Segments of Life:

Motivational speaker, writer Robin Sarma distinguished our life in 4 parts:

4 segments of life are interrelated. As we inclined more towards Wealthset, rest three get ignored most of the time.

In catastrophe we appreciated the importance of all of four. At that time we realize that Man-based religions are of a later date, whereas man’s natural religion is eternally with him.

Lessons Learned from COVID19

Gratitude:

Rhonda Byrne-The Secret, in her famous book “The Magic”, she has mentioned the power and magic of gratitude, the two powerful words “Thank You”

Albert Einstein who invented E=mc^2, said “Thank You” 100 times to this universe every day.

In these days gratitude automatically coming out from my heart.

These are some little thing, but sometimes the littlest things mean the most.

  1. I thank God every time before my each meal.

We usually said about our office canteen food, that foods are not tasty.

If today I will get that “Non-veg Thali” I will feel like having my lunch at a Five star Hotel.

  • I thank God many times in a day, because of the fresh air, I breath.

Just imagine what could be the situation if CORONA spread through air and wind. At that scenario we can’t even think of to go to the lobby of our house.

  • I thank God for water, to drink and for all necessary requirement.
  • I thank God every day, for electricity supply, available at this time.

Now I feel importance of those things, which we usually taken for granted and complained many a times.

Some other learning are like:

  1. Cost of living to LIVE is not costly. Only spendthrift that we add to our lives make our life costly.
  • Pollution control was almost like impossible in city like Delhi which is 21 of the world’s 30 most polluted city.

Delhi pollution reduced by 71% in just 7days from 91 to 26 micrograms per cubic meter of PM2.5.

So we have got a solution for pollution control in any city.

Nature’s Law:

There are two kinds of law.

  1. Men made law:e.g. Traffic signal

If we break man made law, we may or may not penalized.

2. Nature’s law:

If we break, we are definitely penalized.

Knowingly unknowingly everybody follow the laws of nature.

  • Nature’s laws are equal for everyone.
  • Same for under-developed, developing or developed country.
  • Same for rich and poor.
  • Independent of circumstances.

                     One example of Nature’s law is Death.

Controversy of China:

Many of us have already seen many controversial things related to Corona and China with different facts and figures.

This is all about China’s motive to become world’s economic power player.

As a normal person we can’t directly jump into a conclusion what is what.

COVID-19 may be a natural calamity or may be scientific result to gain control over the American and European companies operating in China, to become economic super power of the world.

In KALI  YUGA it is said:

“Jugya Bhugya Basundhara”

Jugya: who is capable

Bhugya: who can enjoy life

Vasundhara: who has all the money and power.

It means in Kali Yuga, who has capability, he only can enjoy the life to its fullest and he will have all the money, fame and power.

Prophesy of New World

There is no such thing as typical prophet .God endows the gift of prophesy to a wide variety of people.

Here are some prophesies of our future new world.

Sir Isaac Newton:

Sir Isaac Newton the greatest mathematician was born on Christmas Day, 1642.

Apart from science, mathematics he wrote one book about Bible and published in 1727 after 6 years of his death named “Observations Upon the Prophecies of Daniel and Apocalypse of St. John”

There he mentioned that the year will be 2060. The date of the end of time, calculated from Biblical information by most brilliant mathematician in the world has ever known.

Edgar Cayce:

Edgar Cayce known as “The Sleeping Prophet” has the gift of prophesy while in a deep self-induced, trance like sleep, none of which he was able to recall when he was awake.

All his lifetime reading during his deep sleep converted into 300 books.

His prophesy said:

As we prepare for the Second Coming of Christ, A new order of conditions is to arise. Then certain circumstances will arise in the political, the economic and a whole relationship to which a leaving will occur, or a greater comprehension of the need for it.

And then the deeds, the prayers of the faithful, will glorify the Father as peace and love will reign for those who love the Lord.”

Sir Isaac Newton has done this calculation mathematically and found this year would be 2060.

Bhagwat Geeta:

As per Hindusim the world goes through as part of ‘cycles of yugas’.

Four yogas are Satya, Treta, Dvaparaand Kali Yuga.

Kali Yuga started in 3102 BCE.

Madame Helena Blavatsky, Russian author was born in 1831 author of the book “The Secret doctrine” mentioned about the Kali Yuga as-

“We are at the close of the cycle of 5000 years of the present Aryan Kali Yuga or dark age. This will be succeeded by an age of light. This race will be altered in mentality and will move toward a more perfect spiritual existence.”

As in Geeta Lord Krishna said:

“Yada Yada hi Dharmasya

Glanir Bhavati Bharata

Abhyutthanam Adharmasya

Tadatmanam srja my Aham”

Whenever and wherever there is a decline and discrepancies in religious practices, a predominant rise of irreligion, and a disappearance of true religion,at that time Lord manifests himself and appear on earth to save the humankind from all negative power.

Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins:

There is a series written by Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins about Second coming of Christ has sold over sixty-five million copies, and the essential message is that the physical return of Jesus is quickly approaching.

Conclusion of Prophecies:

Prophesy is always a future event. We don’t have control over it. So we may accept with some past reference that some prophecies may come true and some will not.

So the passionate pursuit of the “truth” about the “end of days” is likely to be continued until the end of days itself. In Bible Jesus never mentioned anything like end of days.

It means world should never become the world like Zombies Hollywood movies.

There may be some revolution in terms of humanity, but world is going to have humankind till the time world itself decided to clean us from here.

Beauty of Life

I’m afraid of dying, but I’m not afraid of death

We know the Universal truth of death. So we never worry about death. But we always worry about the process of death.

Our life is just one second between past and future. Past is already gone, we don’t have any control over it. Future is what we don’t know.

If we think more about past then we feel sad, if we think more about future then we feel anxious.

So better live this day to its fullest and enjoy and see beauty of life everywhere.

“Mayest thou develop harmony with all

And enjoy life in full.

(Yajur Veda 7.5)

Pure Happiness:

In the end everyone knowingly or unknowingly wants only one thing:

Pure happiness with honest mind. Leaving behind all fear,anxiety, anger, resentment, envy and all negative energy things, and replace those with the Universe’s highest energy word i.e. LOVE and only LOVE.

This kind of purity of happy life we can enjoy in each and every day, by just changing our mind.

How you look at things changes the things you look at.

End

Now in such scenario Doctors and all medical fraternity are playing their roles like God. They are the savers. Thank you to them.

Thank you to all the scientist, researchers who are trying their best to develop some medicines/vaccine to stop this epidemic.

Let’s end up with two lines of Bob Marley’s famous song “One Love, one heart

“Let’s get together

(everybody follow the rules, and stay at home ):)

To fight this Holy Armageddon,

So when the man comes

There will be no, no doom.”

Thank you. Thank You. Thank You.

With LOVE,
