People have forgotten the language of COMMITMENT, involvement...


People have forgotten the language of COMMITMENT, involvement...

because they  don t know the beauty of commitment,

they don t know the joys of commitment.They don t know

what it means to be utterly dedicated to something,

to somebody.To be utterly dedicated to something,

to somebody means giving birth to a soul in you.


To be a man or a woman means to be committed,

to be involved,

to be ready to go to the very extreme of some experience.

If it appeals to you, if it converts you,then one has to be ready

to go wherever it leads you - to the unknown, to the uncharted.

Yes,there are many fears, & there are many problems to be faced

& many challenges to be accepted,but this is how one grows,

this is how one matures...

Millions of people in the world remains immature, childish,

for the simple reason that they don t know how to commit themselves.

They remain rootless.


When you love a person you can t think otherwise.

You can t think that some other day you will not love this person;

that is impossible, that is not part of love.

The mind cannot conceive & comprehend that

there will be a time when you will not be with this person &

this person will not be with you - it simply does not happen.

This is COMMITMENT.

There is no more commitment , if love is not there.

Love is commitment ! Love gone, all commitment is gone: this is the meaning.

Once you have chosen a lover  &  it has become a commitment, a decisive moment has come.

& until you decide, there is wavering.

Once you have decided then there is no going astray.


By & by the mind also leaves the fantasy part ; it settles.

Once you have decided that this is a commitment,

that you are to be in it,

remain in it & there is no other alternative ; when you have closed all the doors & only one door remains open you simply relax, because there is no tension.

Tension is always because of choice.

All tension,all worry, is because of possibilities,alternatives.

Then there is madness because infinite possibilities are there.

There are millions  & millions of people on earth, & each one is a potential lover to you.

From any of these millions of people, anybody could have become a lover to you.

If you keep thinking about it, you will simply go crazy.

Once you are certain & you have chosen,wavering stops.

Once the mind knows that the decision is ultimate,final,

suddenly you will find that the thinking & the fantasies disappear.

Then there may be millions of people,

but there is no man except your lover : there is no woman except your beloved.

live life, like life


Don’t just have career or academic goals. Set

 

 goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before

 

 successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are

 

 all in good order.

 

 There is no point of getting a promotion on the day of

 

 your breakup. There is no fun in driving a car if your back hurts. Shopping is

 

 not enjoyable if your mind is full of tensions.

 

 "Life is one of those

 

 races in nursery school where you have to run with a marble in a spoon kept in

 

 your mouth. If the marble falls, there is no point coming first. Same is with

 

 life where health and relationships are the marble. Your striving is only worth

 

 it if there is harmony in your life. Else, you may achieve the success, but this

 

 spark, this feeling of being excited and alive, will start to die.

 

 ……………….

 

 One thing about nurturing the spark - don't take life seriously.

 

 Life is not meant to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are

 

 like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another

 

 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so

 

 worked up? …………….

 

 It's ok, bunk a few

 

 classes, scoring low in couple of papers, goof up a few interviews, take leave

 

 from work, fall in love, little fights with your spouse. We are people, not

 

 programmed devices........." :)

 

 

 

 "Don't be

 

 serious, be sincere."!!

Participate in LIFE !

Participation is not really a technique:it is

falling in love ! Here s how to get started:

Participate in life! participate as deeply,as totally, as intensively ,as possible.

Risk all for participation.

For instance,if you want to know what dance is,don t go 

& see a dancer-learn dancing, be a dancer.

If you want to know anything,participate !That is the true & right way,

the authentic way to know a thing.

& then there will be a great meaning in your life.

& not only one-dimensional - multi-dimensional meanings.

you will be showered by meanings.


& life has to be multi-dimensional,then only there is meaning.

Never make life one-dimensional.That too, is a problem.


Somebody becomes an engineer, a journalist & then he/she thinks all is finished.

He/she becomes identified  with being an engineer.

Then his/her whole life is just an engineer.

& there were millions of things available.

But he/she moves only on one track,becomes bored.

Is fed up.Is tired,wearied.Goes on dragging.

Waits only for death.

What meaning can there be?


Have more interest in life.Don t be always 

a businessman, a professional, a sport person.

sometimes enjoy too.

Don t be just a doctor or an engineer,or a journalist or a chartered accountant - 

be as many things as possible !

Play cards,

play the guitar

hack the websites

sing a song

be an amateur photographer

a poet...

Find as many things as possible in life,

& then you will have rishness.







I can be your friend

I am a natural person,

I have no charisma-

& I don t believe in charisma.

I don t believe in methods.

Even if I use them

I don t believe in them.

I am a natural person, very ordinary

very poor & ugly...

I can be lost in a crowd

& you will not be able to find me.

So I don t lead you,

I accompany you.

I can hold your hand

I can be your friend.

Don't draw conclusions until you know all the facts

One old man was sitting with his 25 years old son in the train.
Train is about to leave the station.

All passengers are settling down their seat.
As train started young man was filled with lot of joy and
curiosity.

He was sitting on the window side.

He went out one hand and feeling the passing air. He
shouted, "Papa see all trees are going behind".

Old man smile and admired son feelings.

Beside the young man one couple was sitting and listing all
the conversion between father and son.
They were little awkward with the attitude of 25
years old man behaving like a small child.

Suddenly young man again shouted, "Papa see the pond
and animals. Clouds are moving with train".

Couple was watching the young man in embarrassingly.
Now its start raining and some of water drops touches the
young man's hand.



He filled with joy and he closed the eyes.
He shouted again," Papa it's raining, water is
touching me, see papa".

Couple couldn't help themselves and ask the old man.

"Why don't you visit the Doctor and get treatment for your son."

Old man said,
" Yes, We are coming from the hospital as Today
only my son got his eye sight for first time in his life".


Moral:
"Don't draw conclusions until you know all the facts".

Do you enjoy eating Chocolates, Ice creams & Sweets, or are they a substitute for something else you miss..?

whenever a man & a woman are in love,

they don t eat much.Love is such a nourishment,

who cares about chocolate & chewing gum & ice cream?

But once they get married, the woman starts getting bigger & bigger.What happened?

Now there is no more love:now she is replacing

Love with Ice cream...

eat as much chocolates & ice cream as you want

because on the farther shore,

there is no ice cream,no chocolate ---

& I am telling you from my experience !


You bring a woman ice cream & roses

& sweets & chocolates..If you don t

give a woman something to eat, SHE WILL  EAT YOU !

Just let her chew something & she will not chew you.
