Sunderblogger.187 In our life we seem to assume and ascribe false identities. We tend to hold a person responsible for what he did; good or bad, when spiritual wisdom says that we are not the doers; the divine phenomenon behind creation, the doer. Thus, we deify someone when he obliges us in a significant way. On the other hand, if are hurt in some way by someone`s act of commission or omission. We nurse an enmity against him. Kind Regards!

Sunderblogger.186 Indian Men go for looks Looks-conscious Indian males take to grooming & beauty treatments. Shaving, waxing and laser, the three modern warheads in mankind`s timeless fight against bod hair, are being aggressively deployed these days in a country where facial and torso hair once separated the men from the boys Disposal income spent by men on grooming is growing at a faster rate than by women. This can be estimated from the fact that, most men`s personal care categories are seeing faster growth At one skin clinic, the average billing by male consumers in the past few months has overtaken by a small margin that of female clients who spend around r.7000 Kind Regards Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.185 Seriousness is a disease, but seriousness has been praised, respected, honored. It was absolutely essential to be serious to be saint; hence only people who were incapable of laughter become interested in religion. And people who are incapable of laughter are not human yet- what to say about their being divine? That is impossible- they have not yet become human. Hence I have tremendous respect for the sense of humor; for laughter. Laughter is far more sacred that prayer, because prayer can be done by any one, It does not require much intelligence, Laughter requires intelligence. It requires presence of mind, a quickness of seeing into things. A joke cannot be explained; either you understand it or you miss it. If it is explained it loses the whole point; hence no joke can be explained. You get it immediately or you can try to find out the meaning of it; you will find out the meaning, but the joke will not be there. It was in the immediacy. Regards Sunder Thadani

Calibri (Body)Sunderblogger.184 To attain wisdom, we must purify the mind by making It free of all impure thoughts. First empty your mind; only then you can make room for wisdom to come in. Prepare the mind to face situations in a way that enables you to harness its potential. Living with a mind that is narcissist will impede progress. A life that is full of ego leaves no room for receptivity as one thinks about nothing else other than its own self. In order to receptive to truth, one must make the effort to be ready to recognize and receive the truth. Human beings have become conditional entities on account of habit. It is this conditioning that is a major obstacle on the path. To be able to overcome this hurdle, we must be ready to revisit existing ideas; be willing to rise above all kinds of biases and prejudices and become receptive to truth that may come from anywhere.

Sunderblogger.183 Religion has been missing one very fundamental quality; the sense of humour; It`s unfortunate, because it has made religion sick. A sense of humor is an essential part of the wholeness of man. It keeps him healthy, young and fresh. And for centuries the sad people have dominated religion. They have expelled laughter- from churches, mosques and from temples. The day laughter enters back into the holy places they will be really holy, because they will be whole. Laughter is the only quality that distinguishes man from other animals. Only man can see the ridiculous, the absurd. Only he has the capacity and the consciousness to be aware of the cosmic joke; it is not a serious affair. [will continue in next]. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.182 Awareness is one of the greatest gifts that existence has given to human beings. All spiritual masters tell their students, “Become aware, increase your awareness,” and they suggest various methods to do so. Animals too have awareness, but that is more instinct driven. They are aware of hunger or thirst, or of danger and death, but purely by instinct. Animal awareness is mostly about the present, although some awareness does come to them from past conditioning too.

Sunderblogger.181 in India, only one-third population lives in towns and cities. In Bihar in 2001 it was only 10%. India`s towns and cities desperately need fixing. Half of Mumbai lives in slumps, which is a natural disgrace. At the same time, we may have to think of building completely new cities and destroying older ones. That is a scary thought, but a time may come when it is better to destroy than to rehabilitate. Human habitation is not permanent, and India has several examples of urban settlements that were abandoned. We need to look long and hard at the future of urban policy and contemplate the best and the worst. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.175 Sub: Think India. India thrives on contradictions like no place else; any visitor, tourist, or business representative can expect the unexpected. Relying on a trusted Indian friend to act as buffer and to protect one from culture shock is helpful in this sometimes highly confusing country. At your hotel, they may not serve beef because of the reverence Hindus hold for the cow. Yet you may hear the conversation of Hindu man from Kerala seated at a nearby table telling his wife on a cell phone that he will return home tomorrow and would prefer a beefsteak for dinner. In a temple, where you might expect more familiar rules and behavior, you could be truly shocked to witness a sadhu (a holy man who customarily wears orange) amble in nonchalantly completely nude.

Sunderblogger.173 There are two angles – good and bad- in the course of everyone`s life. The good angles encourages us to hear the inner voice of consciousness and he bad angles discourages s from listening to it, and influence us to focus instead only on materialistic ambitions for power and wealth. Light and sight fall in the category of good angles and are supplementary to each other. Sight has no benefit in the absence of light, and similarity, the presence of light makes no difference to the sightless. Kind Regards! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.167 Medication is the journey from movement to stillness, from sound to silence. The need is present in you to meditate because it is our natural tendency to look for undiminished joy and love that does not distort or turn negative. Medication is food for the soul. When you are hungry, spontaneously you eat something. If you are thirsty, you drink water. Similarly, the soul yearns for meditation and this tendency is in everyone. Best Wishes! Sunder.thadani

Sunderbloger.166 Work on Bringing Balance to your life. Work-life balance is one the most misunderstood concept in our pressure-laden times. Balance means finding that optimum point where the person working in a perfect condition, in perfect harmony with his environment. Balance does not mean giving equal priority to everything. Often, people working wrongly believe that a work-life balance means dividing their time equally between work and family. Its fallacy is evident in the dissatisfaction people feel despite efforts at that `misunderstood` balance. The answer to work-life balance is not in balancing one`s work with one`s family, for that simply means more work; it means balancing one`s work with one`s life. Your life includes you, your health, spiritual evolution, mental vigor, attitude and tenacity social presence, friends AND your family. This sudden expansion in your life can be a shock and lead you to spin on all these factors. Let me tell you a secret; you don`t have to work at the balance, the balance work at you. You will be amazed that we all have an inherent mechanism that warns us when our life is going off balance. Make no comprises on your health or your body will make you a slave.

Sunderblogger.165 India`s soil, climate and vegetation have played their part in molding Indian. As there is a lot of nonsense talked on this subject, let me linger over it a little. Every country affects its dwellers in a particular way. A psychologist has observed that a monkey sent to Germany for scientific observation begin to brood and behave like a Teuton, while the same monkey dispatched to the United States reacts like a restless American, always on the go. Whatever comes and lives in India, undergoes a subtle change of psyche. Is value altering. The boundaries of good and evil, so clear before, now begin to melt a move. He floats in a void.

Sunderblogger.164 Destroy those envying roots and enjoy lasting peace. Just be aware when the feeling of jealousy arises, and you will be surprise, it simply disappears. Jealousy cannot be overcome either by escaping from it or hating the object of jealousy. Understand the way out of jealousy is not be surprising it or denying its existence. Expressing and encouraging it is also not the way because then you are not ready to face he jealousy with awareness. Just watch how jealousy arise in you, how it develops into hatred for the object of jealousy, how it creates restlessness and frustration inside you and make you lose all of your peace and calm. Do not condemn the object of jealousy. The object has not generated the emotions from outside. The jealousy is happening inside you. The fire of jealousy can just consume you completely if you don’t control it with the fire extinguisher of you awareness. Once you witness your jealousy with awareness, you will realize that it does not have a basis for existence at all. When this happens, jealously will drop automatically. You won`t have to drop it.

Sunderblogger.162 Aryanism, of which we have become particularly proud since independence, is, we examine matters without priories, integumentary. The essence lies elsewhere. The Indian spirit is basically pre_Aryan. The Dravidian element in it is predominant (as we see today,) but the total influences go further back. We have heard the phrase “Mother India”; India is much more than; she is the Granny of Nations. Her soul (there’s, I repeat, no “it” about it) is steeped in the leadings and misleading of many civilizations. Whatever races came to India- they were attracted to her like moths to a flame- had one peculiarity: they refused to be integrated. Despite the terrific pressure of the anonymous multitudes around them, they remained undigested chunks. Hence the Indian paradox: one Indian reacts like Scythian, another like a Sumerian, a third like a Greek, a fourth like an Arab, and so the complicated tale continues. Best Wishes Sunder Thadani
