Solution to all problems

There is one simple solution to all our small little problems... Want to know??? It really simple. Just get yourself in to a bigger problem! That's it. Cheeky, you may say, but its really true. We all are stuck in small little problem. We have created our own world with customized definition for everything. We conceptualize, analyze, theorize and then close our ize (Read eyes) and then simply zzz. The problems we all face in our day to day lives are really trifling. In AoL course there is a process of sharing our problems of life to the partner. The inference that people draw from this process is that the other person too has problems and our problems are nothing compared to what others face in their lives! We only are too much concerned about our own problems. That's the reason our problems look big. It is said that when our vision expands and broadens then the magnitude of the problem also rises, then the small small problem that we face become meaningless. At the same time we are given enough power or authority to face bigger problem. Like say, you are made the president of US of A then will your small personal problems matter? Now you have responsibility of a big nation. Lives and safety of many people lie in your hands. Its a bigger problem! But then you will have the special presidential powers/authority. That's how we all should grow. Look at the lives of all the saints; Be it Gautama Buddha, Sri Krishna, Jesus. They all faced so many hard ships. In Shri Krishna's life, 7 brothers and sisters were killed before he was born, that too by his own uncle. His parents spent their fertile period of their lives in Kans uncle's dungeon. He was raised by his foster parents then when he met the mighty five "Pandavas" Shri Krishna was claimed as the preperator of the mega war in kurukshetra. He also had to fight over 100 battle after maha-yudh. All in his 126 years life span! If the problem he had to face were to be faced by someone else that person would have commited suicide. Our horizons never expand just because we are afraid of exploring uncharted areas. We are afraid of jumping in the courage zone. Too comfortable in our own cozy personal lives and self-centered living patterns. Jump out of the well which you call your universe and look around. People are living life like zombies. 95% of the people do not like the life they are living. It is just that our thoughts become our action. Our action turns into habit. Habit forms a character, our character decides our fate. And most people just do not like the surprises thrown at them by fate! This is just another wake up call from the author. Do you want something devastating to happen in your life to wake you up to some reality? Just apply for YES!+ course or UTSAV happening nearby. Log on to www.yesplus.org to know more about such youth activities. Life is given to all creatures including human beings, but how we use it decides ultimately how we have chosen to live life! Like animals? like humans? or like the divine!?! Decide! O.A.K.

The crusaders of love

At one end are the Valentine day supporters and Anti-Valentine day protesters at the other. This is one tug-of-war which will never end until the people on both the sides experience Real love or Divine love. Just like Holi and Diwali, Valentine day is one such day which I enjoy witnessing. Groups on both the sides get armed up to their sleeves with amusing antics. This year the Battle of ethics have taken an unique shade. Pink. The Valentine day supporters plan to give the V-day protesters, pink undies. Before I continue writing any further I would like to give a disclaimer. I am neither interested in V - day supporters not in the V -day protesters. I am really interested in doing something for the betterment of the country. Something very concrete! It is because of such (protesting and supporting) behaviour, the people living across the border are able to export their people with explosive attitudes and poisoned mindset to our nation to create havoc. They know that the nation is caught up with all such trivial issues. There are plenty of internal issues that never get resolved. It is the attitude of enjoying quick gains/gratifications that makes our people oblivious of the impending doom. The "other-siders" then take undue advantage of this and disrupt the lives pretty often. Some may ask; How do I plan to celebrate V day? It's really simple, I say. See, V-day is a day of expressing love, Or so it seems for others! I express Real love everyday! So why don't we conduct satsang thereby expressing our love to god or divinity? Just come together sing some beautiful bhajans and enjoy [If at all you know to enjoy a bhajan!! he he he :-D ] Here, both, V- day supporters and protesters are invited. Now you may ask how can a bhajan avert the act of tyranny by the "other-siders" See, the problem that we face in our country is not because of such tyrants exported to our nation. It is because of huge mass of so-called "good" people who prefer to remain inactive and irresponsible after such horrendous acts of crime. It is very very crucial that we all come together. What did Mahatma Gandhi do to drive away the British Rulers? He simply went to every village to do satsang. He made good rapport with the villagers. In turn the villagers supported Gandhiji's cause to free India from British Rule and the whole nation stood up against the British Rule. But now everyone is enjoying freedom, that's what people incorrectly assume. It is said that the internal rot is deadlier than the external rottening. We are all caught up in Domestic violence at home, indifference to our own people in society, Absolute selfishness or self-centeredness at personal level. This will only make people's lives miserable. Time has come to wake up and come together for a cause. And one last point before I end this extended "Note". I will never participate in Anti-Terrorism Activities. But if there is any Pro-Peace activities, I'll be always interested. Because no one can douse fire with fire. You need water to douse the fire! [ Only intelligent people will understand this!] O.A.K.

Where's the Party, Yaar!

A small treat for those who visit my website regularly. At the bottom of the blog is an embedded calendar. I used it mainly for displaying latest AoL (Art of Living Foundation) events in Dombivli. Now I have added almost all the volunteers B'Days to the calendar. Many more will be added soon. So for those who visit can glance at the calendar and see where the next birthday party is!!! If you want the calendar to display your Birthday then feel free to email me: omkar.blogosphere (at) gmail.com You can check out the events for coming months also. And all this I do without logging on to Google Calendar (G Cal) ! You may wonder, how? That's where Mozilla Thunderbird (Tb) turns to be useful . Its integration with G Cal is superb. I just enter the events in the Mozilla Tb Calendar and when I connect the net, all the events get sync-ed with the Online G Cal. No wastage of Internet Bandwidth!!! Also check out the latest updates on courses happening in and around Dombivli Kalyan, Mega YES!+ events, UTSAV, Guruji's Visits, Special Satsangs etc on the calendar. It will be launched soon. Jai Gurudev! O.A.K.
