We are living in a world where everyone is constantly running for something and is running behind something to achieve something, to gain something, to acquire something, but, we are forgetting that we have a life to live. We are forgetting that we are human beings and human beings is not only a resource rather it's an opportunity. According to Sadguru, human beings are a possibility. Let's just dive into the topic and see it in a bit more detail. The life of human beings has become like a robot that follows certain commands and executes them accordingly within a limited time frame. Almost all the employees across the world working in various different organizations are trapped in various kinds of deadlines which they need to follow all the time. If they don't follow the deadline, they have to bear the penalties or the scolding from their Boss. This adds some level of bitterness to the life they are living. Hence, this kind of instance forces us to think and trigger our ...

We can notice that many times in our life, small and not so important things suddenly become important. It all depends on several parameters. But, one should not underestimate the power of small things. They can be beautiful and sometimes may create havoc in your life too. Let's understand it with some examples. While preparing food, a little more salt or slightly less salt can create problems and we can feel the difference in taste. So each and every ingredient is important as each ingredient constitutes something and we can feel the taste of each ingredient. So, all these ingredients altogether form a great recipe. If we look deep inside then we can conclude that, inside a recipe, each and every ingredient is crucial along with its amount of concentration. Similarly in life, for everything, one recipe is there and it should be properly cooked and each and every component should be added in proper quantity to make life interesting.  Small things are extremely important.

You may be thinking whether little things are really that important, and fortunately or unfortunately the answer is yes. Basically, in the formation of big things, little things play a very vital role. I want to quote a simple example of mine which forced me to believe on small things. I have numerous experiences like this even before, but, i was fooling myself by not believing in it. I was planning to go for an interview and while i was leaving for the same, my sister and my mother were helping me in every little things to their maximum. Even though they were aware of the fact that i am just one of the many candidates called for the interview. So, if i got selected then it's well and good but even if not they won't mind and for my next interview they are again willing to take care of each and every small small things. Actually, this is not the first time that i faced such a scenario. Every time i used to find the same things happening but probably this is the first time when i...

Did u miss something? Actually, with every tick, tick, of your clock, you are missing every second of your life. That's the fact of our life. But, most of us use to spend enough of their time in their day-to-day routine and are unaware of its importance. This time, again, I got this realization in the library. I am having an analog watch and I was wearing it in my left hand. As I was reading something, my hand was resting on the table and unknowingly I lifted it up, with my hand knee still resting on the table. The upper portion of my hand was near to my body and the wrist was near to my ear. All this happened so casually that I didn't even recognize it until I heard the sound tick, tick, tick. The sound which broke the calmness and the ambience of the library. It was loud enough for my ears but not enough for the entire library but it was saying something by shouting continuously that I am going, I am going and I am going. This moment helps me to enlighten my mind with the imp...

If we compare ourselves with plants then you can realize how lucky and blessed we are. We can move, they can't move. We have eyes to see the beauty, we are not sure whether plants have eyes or not. We can roam across the world and see the elegance of this nature. But plants have to stay at the same place and they can't move or go and see the world around them. We can easily hang around with our partners. Plants can't do that. They have to depend on so many pollinating agents for the same. They have to stand in the same place all the time and suffer all the things of nature. They get wet due to rain. They have to bear the sunlight throughout the day. They have to bear the chillness at night and in cold weather conditions. So getting life in the form of a tree is like a punishment throughout the lifetime. So, what do you feel, who are blessed? Now let's have a look from the other point of view. From the plant's point of view, they might be thinking that what a fool th...

Plants are the toughest living beings I feel. I may be wrong, there may be several other animals too who struggle to survive but, here I am talking in terms of facing life. If we see the plants, they stand still for several generations. They can't sleep or lie down like us. They cannot move. They just stay there and provide food for all, since they are the only ones who have the gifted power of photosynthesis. They do that every day. They feed all since they live at the very base of the food chain and hence becomes responsible for feeding every human being and other animals too. They face all the seasons, summer, winter, rainy and still they stay tough. On one side, they stay full day long bearing the scorching heat of the sun and at night bearing the cold. Also, during the rainy season, they get wet completely. But, they cannot wipe the water over their leaves or branches as we do after the bath, by wiping it with a towel. They cannot say that I can't bear this much heat and I...

We are always busy with one of the other things in life. Being busy means we are always doing something. It's a good sign. Good, because, you are not sitting simply idle. But sitting idle is a different concept altogether. We will discuss that somewhere else. Now, you have to understand that, we should always keep our self busy with something. Whenever we are busy with something our mind doesn't easily get involved in thinking some random stuff. Even if you are thinking something, it's absolutely fine if it is a positive thought. But, you can be forced to think about negative thoughts too, as you have not trained your brain to think only about the positive thoughts, yet. So, try to keep yourself busy all the time, so that, you can stay away from the negative thoughts. This is the first and foremost important lesson, I can tell you. If you follow this, it will help you tremendously in your life. Now, you might have understood, how to stay away from the negative thought. But,...

We should not underestimate the power of nature. If we consider the example of grains, then they are an example of power-packed energy. Just look at the various grains, pulses, even dry fruits, they are hard and packed in such a small volume by nature; but are packed with an enormous amount of energy. That's the beauty of nature. Also, it's not easy to produce such energy-packed items. This has formed after the generations of the optimizing processes. Any kind of food is formed in nature with enormous optimizations. There are just too many variables to tune in to produce highly nutritious and high-quality food with high yield. But humans are doing this for a long and we are optimizing it for generations. So, we could able to learn the art of farming and producing our own foods. We mastered that art and are now satisfying the stomach of billions of people across the world. Though we mastered this art, we still face production issues sometimes as nature turns against us. If you a...

Every living being on this planet is different. This makes you different, from all the other living beings you can find in your vicinity. You can easily find at least one quality which can differentiate you even from your cousins. Even if you have a twin, biologically, some differences exist between the two. So, everyone is unique on this planet. This is the most beautiful experience we can have on this planet.  The food which we eat creates a significant impact on our life along with the atmosphere in which we live.  For example, we can notice that the geographical locations create an impact on you which can be reflected through your skin. The people living in cold countries are way farer than those living in hot climatic conditions. DNA is a crucial aspect for this, but, we still can't neglect the impact of the geographical locations.  If we consider the case of the food, then we can notice that a similar kind of food may behave differently from individual to individual...

I feel, there are different ways to convey something to someone. One is lengthy and another one is, you know, of course, shortcut. And, who doesn’t love shortcuts? So, I prefer to keep my articles short and crispy. Of course, it depends on the choices. Some people love to read big articles. Sadly, I am also the same. Sad because it takes much of my time. But I give it a read if it’s worthy of it. And other people who love shortcuts, including me again, like to keep things short, crispy, and focused.  Let me share one incident with you, but why on the earth would you like to hear my incident. Ok, maybe I’ll leave that on you. If you are still reading this means, hats off to you. OK, so, the incident goes like this. I have grown up in an education system, where, there were few teachers, who were giving the marks or the grades in my subjects based on the length of my answers and not exactly based on what I was writing. This made an impression in my childhood on my mind ...

At the end of the day, I feel, it's not only about the money; it's also about the satisfaction, which, you get, by spending your time the way you want to spend. You should spend your time, in such a way, that, you should totally forget, how the time has passed !! If you have spend your time like this means, definitely, you lived your life. This is because, the only restriction we have in our life is that of time. We all have a limited time span, within which, we live and, at the end, we die. So, while dying, you should not think that, I never lived.       Hence, spend your time with those who makes your days count. Try to enjoy and explore the world around you, the beautiful nature around you and stay happy in all the moments possible. Stay away from the anger, hatred or criticism and just enjoy the beauty of the nature around you at every moment. Praise the wonderful works which the people, our ancestors, have done from so many cen...

Many of us fear that opportunities are getting lost, I am not getting enough opportunities to grow and so !!  Its not true. Each and every moment of time, is a new opportunity to explore and this new opportunity is created and destroyed at each and every moment.       It depends on us that how we take on those opportunities. At every moment, infinite opportunities exists, but, unfortunately, we see only one opportunity at every moment and we feel that we have lost that opportunity, if, we didnt make use of it. So, we forget to see those infinite opportunities at that moment. Hence, we should be open enough, to see all the infinite opportunities, available at any given instant of time. Even if, we let go one opportunity, we should be ready to grab the other. There is no derth of opportunities in any sector.        Every second is a new moment with new hope. So, out of the infinite seconds line...

I am not sure how many of you are involved with the stock market, directly or indirectly, but, I am pretty sure, almost all of you might have heard about it. There are many lessons to learn from it. Even, our life is pretty much like a stock market, going up and down in cycles of good and bad phases of life.        About the stock market, people use to say, let the market run on its own and do what it has to do, let it go wherever it has to go, you don't instruct it to behave according to you. Rather, you just need to ride on the wave, either upward or downward wave. That's how you become profitable. You should enjoy your rides thoroughly. Similarly, in life too, you should enjoy your rides, whether it's upward or downward. You don't dare to tell life, to stay in the good phase always, because, it's simply not possible. It needs to stay in equilibrium always. So, it has to go in the waves. Hence, we should learn, to see both the good and bad sides of life, as we can...

For being successful, we have to do so many sacrifices and without sacrifice, no one can achieve anything, you sacrifice one thing and you will get another thing, this is the law of nature because energy can neither be created nor be destroyed it can only be transferred from one form to another. In the same manner, if you want to achieve something, it cannot be generated in the air or in a vacuum simply, it has to come and manifest into whatever you want from something. For example, if you need money, the money cannot be generated, it will come from someone's hand. So, if you are earning the money, means, someone is always losing that money. So, just like energy; which is getting transferred from one person to another person, money is also getting transferred from one person to another person, while money is just another form of energy. So, if the money is getting transferred from one hand to another hand, means, energy is getting transferred from one person to another person.  If ...
