World is illusion

 World is illusion

We see this world from our own perspectives. People live with their truths or own philosophies about the world. In Hindi, there is a term used called 'khandit satya' which indicates the fact that individuals only know the incomplete truth. What the world looks like to us is not the reality, it is our illusion. In Jainism, there is a very beautiful philosophy that is, 'Anekantvad' means that people can hold different, even seemingly contradictory views and both still be right in their own frame of reference. There is a very popular example, where 6 blind people, all interact with different parts of an elephant. Not knowing what it is, they might all guess that they are touching various organs depending on what part of the elephant they sense. None of them are wrong as per what they sense, but are only in a position to view a partial truth. 

Adi Shankaracharya always said this-"Jagat mithya". This phrase is usually used to incorporate humbleness inside us because not everyone knows everything. All know the incomplete truth with their viewpoints. There is an ocean of knowledge to gain and much more to receive. We cannot show the kind of arrogance that "We know everything, I am from this or that college pass out, I have more or tons of experience, I am the best." We should have more and more humility because what you see and experience is your truth, not a universal truth. This world is an illusion and what we know is partial truth.

In Hindi, there is a statement-"Jagat mithya, Brahma satya". It means that only 'Brahma' is a complete truth and what you see is an illusion. What you can sense on a physical level is partial truth, there is a truth that is beyond the physical level and our senses, and that is 'Brahma'.

Money must be your asset. Truth must be your asset..!! Not your beauty, physical appearance... Spend time enriching yourself, spend time in gaining knowledge, spend time in skilling yourself. If we actually growing as a nation or in overall worldwide then why we find so few women in science and technology, very few in science laboratories and in STEM background (science, technology, engineering, mathematics), very few in sports, politics, and literature.

Complaining Is Madness

Complaining Is Madness In real life, we encounter with so many problems. It can be related to career, health, personal life, societal issues, and many more. When you catch yourself complaining in either speech or thought, about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather. Complaining should be unacceptable. When you continuously complain about anything, then your mind shifts towards negativity and you ignore the brighter side of life. The complaining invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation or accept it. Anything else is madness. Taking charge of a situation makes you a stronger version of yourself and shifts your complaining mode into a solution-oriented mindset. And if you cannot do anything about the situation then leave it and move on. Accept future challenges with a positive mindset because only positivity can bring you closer to ...

Feelings of Internal World

  Feelings of Internal World In Hindi, there is a word 'bhaav' which indicates what's going on inside you, and what emotions or feelings you carry regarding the particular work. 'Bhaav' is a much more deep term than 'feelings'. Many believe that you have to think about outcomes and gains before getting into the work. But if analyze the patterns of extraordinary work in the world then you know that those people have a deep desire for the work they get. Nowadays 'passion' term is a very misused word.
