Beware of your emotions

Human being is an emotional creature. So, like machines, he generally has a conscious rational state. But, unlike machines, he has a subconscious emotional state as well. This makes him an interesting creature. Because every task he does or situation he faces is under the possible influence of his subconscious emotional state. This in turn makes every event in his life not just an event but a trigger for a chain reaction of events.

Let us suppose, for an instance, that you made a mistake in your assignment today. Your boss calls you in and gives you what you deserve(pun intended). Just a few abuses and warning to kick you out on another malfunction.

You come to your seat and your junior irritates you with his regular doubts. You backfire at him for his lack of attention in his work. Your junior then gets a call from a bank for a credit card offer. The junior abuses him in a prominent tone and indirectly tells him to rot in hell.

You then get a call from your parents. You are pissed off and they can sense it from your voice. Your parents start introspecting that was it a bad decision that they enrolled you into engineering once.

Last but not the least, you call your girlfriend to shrug things off, and you find that she had just encountered a similar situation. And you become a sink rather than a source(in terms of Physics).

And all this just because of a trigger of your boss pushed in the wrong direction. He could have handled the situation otherwise and the world would have been a better place. So you have every chance to contribute to this world with every word you speak. Its your choice, in which direction you wish to push the trigger.

P.S. : The employee boss example was taken in order to correlate things with the majority...:P.

What a life without responsibilities.

Have u ever seen a bird flying. Flipping its wings in the air. Leaving its nest everytime to get some food for its little ones. And twigs to repair its withering nest. The nature is always playing with the bird. Sometimes changing the course of the wind. And breaking its nest at times with those thundering storms. The nest is once again built, and once again broken.

But the bird never fails to deliver its share of responsibilities. It is busy feeding its little ones. Young ones need not care for the food and shelter. Their world is little. The boundary of the nest is their skyline. Everything else happening is like a show on the television that's going on and on. And one day, they are ready to fly. Fly beyond that skyline that they always thought was they wont ever break.

Just Do It

A man approached JP Morgan, held up an envelope, and said, “Sir, in my hand I hold a guaranteed formula for success, which I will gladly sell you for $25000.””Sir, ”JP Morgan replied, “I do not know what is in the envelope, however if you show me, and I like it, I give you my word as a gentleman that I will pay you what you ask.” The man agreed to the terms, and handed over the envelope. JP Morgan opened it, and extracted a single sheet of paper. He gave it one look, a mere glance, then handed back piece of paper back to the gent. And paid him the agreed upon $25000.

The paper read:

1. Every morning, write a list of the things that need to be done that day.
2. Do them.

Change your frequency buddy......

Why do drug addicts hang around with fellow drug addicts? Why do spiritual satsang-attendees hang around with similar-minded people? What is the Page 3 culture all about with everybody who’s part of it talking about dress, stress and less? Why do some people attract wealth wherever they go and whatever they do? Why do we find ourselves sometimes thinking the same thought throughout the week or month? Why is it that some people always have a knack of getting into trouble, like Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth, and why do some always attract success, like Dhoni? The answer lies in an oft-repeated and randomly-used word: frequency.

We all have a frequency. We operate on one. Our frequency is determined by our breathing rate, and this frequency determines the vibration of the atoms inside us. Everything – living, non-living, animate, inanimate - vibrates because everything comprises atoms. When one person’s vibration is harmonious with another’s, they exclaim, “Oh, we share a similar frequency!”Or “we vibe well” or “our tuning matches”.

In other words, we use physics terms like ‘frequency’, ‘vibration’, ‘tuning’, etc., in our everyday lingo without really understanding the true meaning of the sentences. Put another way, we end up using words that actually denote the big truth, but we simply don’t realise that.

So, two people resonating similarly will have similar interests, tastes, etc., and those whose frequencies don’t match, will have cat-fights galore. “Oh they just can’t ‘get along’ with each other” we say. ‘Get along’ or in other words, ‘resonate’. Likewise, if a person’s frequency resonates with the frequency of a book, that book will become that person’s ‘favourite’ book. Ditto with chair (my favourite chair), food item, toy, corner, etc.

Operating on a set frequency can also give rise to attachments. For instance, different activities or thought processes– like spirituality, sex, reading, gossiping, gambling, cleaning, etc. - have different frequencies. Ordinarily speaking, we call this ‘addiction’. Have you seen people who cannot get sleep without getting their daily dose of gossip? How about those who are addicted to talking and thinking about sex? Then there are some people who are addicted to being scrupulously clean. They keep on cleaning everything. We also call this OCD – Obsessive Compulsive Behaviour.

All these categories of people are ‘frequency-victims’ ie. they are like damaged long-playing records that keeps tripping on a particular point while rotating on the spindle. They will continue to operate on the same frequency as if on autopilot till something happens that suddenly changes their frequency. A typical example would be people who start behaving completely differently from their usual self, after witnessing the death of a close one.

If you find yourself doing an activity repeatedly and want to get rid of that habit, practise slow breathing. A simple way to do this is to watch your breathing – as the air goes in and comes out of your nostrils. Just the act of watching will slow down your breathing. Prolonged differential rate of breathing will change your frequency will snap you out of your addiction.

Remember, there are only two truths in this world – one is you breathe; the other is you will die. Death is not in your hands, but breathing definitely is. It is up to you how correctly you want to breathe. Well, the yogic science of pranayama is all about that, isn’t it?

Human Behaviour

You must have learnt in your primary or higher secondary that if you knew the algorithm for a problem/machine, you can provide it necessary inputs to get the desired outputs. Same is the case with human behaviour. If you can predict the behaviour of a human being, you can predict how he/she will react to a given set of stimuli. Now for an instance, consider a country like ours. As far as I have observed, the decision making pattern in our society(in majority of the cases)

Love

Love is, as per my opinion, resistance to change.

An emotional creature, like human being, gets emotionally attached to any person(or thing). For instance, an year before, we decided to leave our old house and move to a new house at a different location. That house had all the memories of my life I have had lived till now. So that was the change I desperately was trying to resist.

But we had to move on. In this case, the emotional bond is one sided, as non – living things don’t respond. Even though it is so strong.

Then you can imagine about the bond between two living beings. Bonds between you and your parents, your friends. These bonds grow stronger with time. And the harder you try to resist them with time. It is human tendency to get dependent to his surroundings.

Everything in life is exponential.

Everything in life is exponential. You might have observed that certain people who perform(a task) well once, have a higher probability (and need less effort) to perform next time and vice versa in the other case. So what’s your conclusion. The point is that when a person achieves success in a field, he not only himself feels good, but he is admired by all those around him. So everywhere around him(as well as inside him), atmosphere is positive. And human body(which is too complex to understand) at this point(when he is happy) releases those hormones which tend to increase his efficiency in any task he does. So the point is that he is physically as well as mentally fit to do the next job. So there is a two fold increase in the probability of next job to be successful. And is vice versa in the other case. So just be cool when you go for the next job whatever be the outcome of your previous job. So you see, life never adheres to a linear algorithm, because that way, things go boring. That’s why they always say ‘think positive’.
