Problem and solutions!

 



Problem and solutions!




Bigger the problem, easier the solution.



More frightened you are, easier to get out of that situation.




Bigger the problem, easier it is to fix it.



Solution is where the problem is - often times! 


When you look at the problem you can't see the solution, when you get to see the solution you can't see the problem - like the picture above and below! What do you see in these pictures?




Change the way you look to come out of the problem and to see the solution!

Have you noticed the validity of above statement? If yes, when and where?

There are different ways of learning.....

There are different ways of learning.....



The next is ‘hear’ from the one who has made mistakes and just take essence of their knowledge and simply apply it in our lives. This is the role of the Guru. This is where he gives out of love all the essence of knowledge that he has accumulated over the janmas to be applied, absorbed, applied and to get benefitted from it effortlessly.

 

There is one more method too where we exchange our mistakes with each other and learn from each other. Here we can grow faster. We can support each other. We can stand by each other as and when the other falls. We can point out each others’ mistakes and there by act as mirrors to each other. This is possible only when we keep aside our ego. If we are competing with each other, then the chances of benefit from this procedure is almost nil.

 

Each method has its ups and downs. Each method asks you to pay a price when you choose that path. Each is good for one kind of mentality and personality. Knowing the good and bad of each path and choosing them reflects our patience, understanding capacity and sanity.

 

One can choose two or more methods at different point of time for faster growth and healing.

 Sum up your understanding from this post. How will this post be used by you and where? What was the need of this post now?

There are different ways of learning.....




There are different ways of learning.....




One is to learn at our pace and with our own experiences and intelligence. It is beautiful but exhausting, painful, lonely and it takes longer than usual....Here we need to learn from our own mistakes. Here we need to bear the brunt of our mistakes. But there is no one to answer to. And there is no one to look up to too!

The other is to learn from others mistakes. We see others make mistakes and decide and learn not to make those mistakes. Here if we end up justifying them or rebuking them, then we lose the opportunity to grow from others' mistakes. When we choose to learn this way, we can avoid all the mistakes others' in our life make. This way we also save ourselves from the pain of bearing the brunt of making the mistakes. This is good choice. But the shortcoming of this path is that we can learn only as much as we can observe and understand. And there is second issue of having limited exposure to people and their failures in our lives. The people in our lives may fail but we may not know why and how or where they failed unless told – many times. So the chance we get to learn reduces accordingly.

Please Note - ref comments in the link https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2021/10/new-beginning.html?showComment=1635216240277: As I have repeated myself umpteen times, I repeat myself once again - "There are no coincidences in life. It's just that we are not able to connect the RIGHT DOTS. One who is able to is the Guru and the Divine. Others can only jump to conclusions...."

koi cheez thukke mein nahin hota hai - nothing happens just like that! One who thinks so is a fool who assumes himself to be 'smart and intelligent!?!'

There has to be a cause for any effect to happen!!!

Empty cup - feedback

 


Empty cup - feedback




Further to https://kantipadam.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-empty-cup.html?showComment=1635031073992 


I am thankful for the participation - for starts...

I am glad that all your feedback is on the right path....

I am happy with and seeing your clarity of thought...

and now I am wondering if you are better off without meeting me or being in the class....all this growth seems to be faster and better way when we haven't been in touch through class. So my decision to not be in touch proved to be right once again!!!



Thank you all for growing the right way on the right path!

I know this is more theoretical now than practical but even this much is way too good from where I see your journey....happy very much ....


now to put all this understanding on paper to life and live this understanding - now, that would be our next stop and next agenda....

Living life kingsize!

 


Living life kingsize!



Fear is death!



Fear cripples us!



Fear is based on our assumptions of the future...



Fear is as long as we condition the course of our life and events in it....we fear when we assume we can no longer control our life or its events...



Fear is only as long as we want to control people, events and life...



Fear stems from the factor that we want everything to go as per our agenda....



Fear is one of the two greatest sins of human race says Upanishads!



Overcome fear to live life!

October 21st - a special day!

 


October 21st - a special day!


Today is observed as "Police Commemoration Day" as a salute to all those brave police who sacrificed their lives while discharging their duties.




In 1943 Sir Subhas Chandra Bose declared today the Provisional Government of Free India.










Today is the death anniversary of - Shri. Muthuswami Dikshitar - 1835 - one of the Trinity of Indian Carnatic Music - South Indian Poet, singer, composer of Indian classical player and Veena player 



If you are any of the person who loves carnatic music or a person thankful to be part of Free India (those of you who got frightened by Afghan takeover!) or a person who want to thank police force for the services they are doing for us....Please send reiki to any of these people concerned for atleast 3 days and chant atleast one mala of MM...

thanking you in advance for the same.......

bless you for your services......

On Living life kingsize!



On Living life kingsize!



Life begins where fear ends!



What does this mean?



What has fear got to do with life?




What is the connection between the both?



What should the one who loves life or wants to live life fullest do?




Suggested read : I had written a post on fear may be around 2009 or 10 answering Madhumitha's query on the same....

if any body can trace it give the link.....


Please Note : Swathi - right Understanding of 'Empty Cup'

Waiting for other insights too....every understanding will give us insight into one more angle of seeing, understanding, perceiving, applying the Truth that is spoken.....the more we gather or understand these points the more will it make it possible for us to apply them in our daily life and come out of its grind....only then will we experience abundance of every kind that we seek.........

On life and death – II

On life and death – II




For many just existing is enough – even it be as an invalid. If that is the choice or way of living, then that and such person need not worry on all these levels.

But if life means to be happy and happiness means sharing with near and dear ones, then I request those to check these facts making a wish of long life.

But then, is life and death in our hands? What if all around me die and I still continue to survive?

Life and death is certainly not in our hands. But, having clarity of thought on these is certainly in our hands**. What can’t be controlled need not be worried about. But our perspective on these things is certainly in our hands and we need to groom them right – when our sense are still intact. Now, we have each other to remind, support and encourage working on ourselves. Let’s make best use of this support system. God forbid, but if such time comes when we are left alone behind by all known to us, then let us be mentally, emotionally, intellectually and spiritually prepared to enjoy ‘our lone life too’ – which life has given as bonus to us. instead of being a ‘complaining, bitter old person always talking about those times’ let’s make new and fresh memories even then with our attitude.

Let’s learn to dance with life!

Let’s live life!

So, when death comes knocking it should look at us and ask us “Teach me to live!”

Let’s give something to death - of life!

Maut ko zindagi diye chalthe hai…

मौत को ज़िन्दगी दिए चलते हैं। .. 

Chavuki kooda jeevithanni eddam pada…

చావుకి కూడా జీవితాన్ని ఇద్దాం పదా ....

(This would be a series on life and death where we would directly look into what life and death means to us! the purpose is to learn and appreciate life while becoming ‘free’ of ‘fear of death’. Hope this addresses its agenda the right way and strikes the chord as required!)


The above link clearly explains how our understanding changes when we look at an event from beyond our sense of 'seeing'. When we actually see beyond our 'time limit zone' we can see how things are right the way they are! Hope it is clear?

On life and death – II



And yet all through our lives, are we not working very hard to build our ‘good image’. And in that process we end up lying so much. There is so much that goes into that ‘image building’. There is manipulation, hiding facts, talking ill of others or judging others and what not! And yet that ‘image’ hardly is kept alive at the time of death. Most of the people to whom we sold our image are no more there! What an irony! All for nothing!

With no one to share my memories with, stories with, I doubt if I would spend my days well!?

The people I shared my life and its experiences with are no more there. The bond that’s built over these experiences is no more and at this juncture of life to make new such bonds us but farfetched possibility. Would my living be equally colourful?

So, think about these and such facts before wishing for long life….

read the above link to understand what death is ....read it right to understand about death.......

Question time :

Why should we study and understand death?

Is it being pessimistic about life?

On life and death – II

 

On life and death – II



As long as we are living with wrong belief system and understanding we pray for long life. I am seeing people over 89 and 90 leading life – nothing wrong about living long though. But, most of their siblings and friends are gone. The younger family has its own life to live and they can’t take time to ‘get to know’ the ‘older generation’. Nothing wrong there too! But, the older generation for lack of people with whom they can share their experiences, stories and memories as they are long gone, end up telling same story again and again. No one wants to be bored with those details. Both the parties are disappointed with each other.

When I imagine/see myself as in 80’s I can’t see most of my elders in my life. People, who saw me grow, achieve and appreciate me for what I did for others are either gone or not in a position to talk, come and meet or remember.

I also have to see younger ones going away. Many of them have stories to share with and about me. And now, when I am gone both these group of people would be absent. The people who would come would be some distant relative or my kid’s friends and colleagues. To none of them I am known or matter. So who would miss/feel my going? Who would be there to say few good words about me?
