FIVE CAPSULES OF VEDANTA

INDIAN PHILOSOPHY

I am of the nature of eternal and all pervading Consciousness.

I am the only source of permanent peace, security and happiness.

By my mere presence, I give life to the material body, and through the body, I experience the material universe.

I am not affected by anything that takes place in the material world and in the material body.

By forgetting my nature, I convert life into a burden and by remembering my nature, I convert life into a blessing.

The difference between Jeeva and eswara is only in vesham. Gnanam is apparently Atma behind different vesham. A wise person is the one who is able to appreciate and find a Brahmin in the guise of a street dog. From dhasogam (He is master and I am a humble obedient servant) we have to make a journey to sogam (I am God).

Understanding Vedanta requires a lot of maturity. Samsara problem will never go with dasogam bhavana. You will have to necessarily come to sogam bhavana (that I am god) because moksha is our goal. You can only delay the sogam process but have to come to it ultimately. As jeeva, you are a victim of karma and so I will have to give you “Punarabi Charanam and Punarabi Maranam”. When you get real Vairaghyam, you have to come to sogam (I am God) bhavana.

This above mentioned is an eye opener for all of us. Let us take it in our stride and try to know the meaning of “I” the consciousness principle. This is the truth which is Tathvam. This is also called as Atman or Brahman which is a changeless principle and which is infinite and all pervading and which is omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient.

Thank you for your understanding.

Be blissful.

MY LEARNING OVER DIFFERENT POINT IN TIME

According to my learning from Books/Seminars/Conferences/Webinars/Forums and many other resources, I found five steps of Change that takes place in any One’s life as under:-

Inspirational period

- People are charged when they get a new job, fall in love, and get married and many other things happen. You can also call this period as honeymoon period.

Difficulty period

– After you have settled down in your new job, other things like love, marriage etc., follows. After some time you happen to start facing various problems. Some people sustain while some people buckle in very less time.

Discovery period

- Some people who sustain in difficulty period discover that the jobs have lots of opportunities and love is beautiful to be enjoyed. They are also happy as marriage gives them new relatives with whom they interact etc. and many other discoveries.

Experimental period

- People who discover new things in their jobs, love, marriage start doing experiment and take calculated risks to Sustain and get Success in their job, love and their married life.

Consolidation

- Never ending story of Success.

I would be very glad if you guys add some value by sharing your thoughts on the above mentioned points. You can also narrate your understanding of the change process in your own life.

PATH TO CAREER PROGRESS

Every one of us is interested in our career progress right from our childhood through our working life. This is inherent in every human being. All of us have to clearly set our path to achieve progress.

Let us take it in our stride and think for a while. The probable things we have to do, to set our path right are given in a sequence as under:

1. To list out the “Things to do”

2. Do the things listed by you

3. Record the work done

4. Review what you have done

5. Report what you have done.

The results that you can see by strictly following the above process are wonderful and will reap rich benefits. This will make you happy and give you peace of mind.

The first and foremost thing to do in order to become successful in your professional life is listing the items that you propose to do. This is also known as things to do list.

Once you are ready with your “to do” list, the next thing is to act on the items listed by you. This means actually doing the things listed by you. The next activity is to record the things done (similar to the record of practicals done in a lab) and thereafter make a review of the same. After having made the review the last thing to do is to report what work has been done.

By doing the reporting activity you can earn rewards and awards and get recognition and honour. This will not only give you happiness but also make you charged with more energy.

You can earn the respect from your superior Viz. – acknowledgement of your work. When you earn respect from several people Viz. mass respect, it is called recognition. Recognition in turn gives you internal satisfaction and fulfillment. Recognition, satisfaction, Respect and fulfillment is intangible.

Tangible results are by way of Award and Reward. An award is given once only. Viz. Increment, promotion, certificate, performance bonus, Trophy. Income received Month after month is a reward.

How to Make TO-DO List

While creating and using to-do lists is relatively simple, there are some tips and tricks you can use to multiply their effectiveness. Below I’ll share with you the 10 tips I learned with my to-do lists over the years.

1. Choose the Right Medium
2. Leave the List Visible All Day Long
3. Start Your Day with Your To-Do List
4. List Tasks for that Day Only
5. Put the Important Tasks On Top
6. Have A Separate Section To Write Down Ideas and Notes
7. List the Things You Are NOT Supposed To Do As Well
8. List A Realistic Number of Tasks
9. Take Your Breaks Between Tasks (And Not Inside Them)
10. If You Miss a Task, Send it to Tomorrow’s List

In the true sense you will start to develop a passion towards the work you are doing which will be fulfilling and fruitful in your Endeavour towards the same.

Let me conclude by saying that we should be focused in our activity and work towards our chosen path to achieve progress in our pursuits. Be blissful.
