The ultimate decision guiding tool for anytime use

Of course, it is the one and only Bhagavad Gita

Brought up as a TamBram I knew the verses of  Bhagavad Gita coz of the non-stop chanting via the home Cassette player.

Quoting Bhagavad Gita is almost synchronous with referencing the ultimate axiom of living.

Every one who values anything has learnt it the hard way the value of it or is associating a value based on perception.

It is serendipitous that I was brought up in Roha where Swadhyay, the way of living discovering the Gita is followed prominently.

A wise person knows, it is a short lifetime to learn by doing all the mistakes so it is good to learn from the mistakes of others. That is the reason they put in efforts to learn from the existing literature and perceive the world around them based on their observation with limited exposure.

The wiser the person gets the more importance is giving to classics whose lessons are priceless and stand the test of time. Bhagavad Gita is one such classic.

Leaving aside the mythology, the gist of it is so omnipotent that I believe it is the ultimate decision guide for the living soul.

You are unhappy, read  Bhagavad Gita

You are feeling sad, emotional, confused, depressed, read and follow Bhagavad Gita

Take your time. Read, understand, experiment and enjoy.

Year 2015 plan

The more I label something as a new year resolution, the more likely I might not accomplish it. As negative it may sound, it is a consistent observation.

Here is my list of things to do and form new habits.

1. Write at least one post on the blog every single week.
2. Read or hear at least two books every month. Rate and Write a review.
3. Surprise at least one friend each month and catch up with what's going on.
4. Meticulously log intake and activities every day.
5. Exercise regularly and be more fitter than ever.
6. Put in sincere efforts to live in the moment.
7. No time wasting playing chess/other silly games online.
8. Meditate at least 15 minutes every week.
9. Get the to Point faster.

Wishing you and your family a Happy Prosperous Healthy and Safe New Year ahead !!!

Z is for Zen #atozchallenge

Zen is attained when you no longer desire to attain Zen.

Y is for YOLO #atozchallenge

Yet another acronym which surfaces now and then, which incidentally I do not believe in.

You Only Live Once.

Interestingly the Bhagavad Gita says the Soul cannot be destroyed and it wears a body after every birth. In short You are destined for rebirth based on your good Karma so YOLO is incorrect.


 

X is for Cross #atozchallenge

X is the 24th Letter in English Alphabets which also resembles the multiplication sign.

Interestingly X starts very few words but can also stand for Cross.

Blame reading many comics and watching spoofy movies to make me mention "X marks the SPOT" for hidden treasure.

"Teja Main Hoon, Mark idhar hain"

W is for Wisdom #atozchallenge

Whether you feel happy or sad, good or bad, it is always a state of mind.

Wisdom is knowing the difference between right and wrong and choosing the appropriate thing to do. 

V is for Victory #atozchallenge

Veni, Vedi, Vici.

I came, I saw, I conquered.

I won I won I won.

Victory over self-control is the sweetest victory of all victories.
 

U is for Ultimate #atozchallenge

Under many circumstances we lose sight of the shore, but ultimately our destination also plays a important part in the Journey towards it.

Keep sight of the Ultimate accomplishment to be at peace with one self and your environment.

T is for Trivia #atozchallenge

Truth is we all love trivia when we learn something new, but the greater truth is Trivia is many times Trivial and not all that important.

Focus on acquiring knowledge is far more important than gathering trivia.

Think about it.

S is for Starting #atozchallenge

Sure way to have a great finish is to Start Early.

Like it is said "the early bird gets the worm".

All's well that ends well said Shakespeare, but for something to end one has to start.

Procrastination is the enemy of Starting.

Avoid Procrastination and Start Now.
