Sunderblogger.133 Perseverance and letting go are both positive qualities that we are all possess. However, despite their being life-enhancing qualities, these are often complementary and even antagonistic to each other, and need to be employed in sequence, and at the right time, rather than in isolation for us to achieve success, peace and harmony. Success is determined by a combination of factors. Hard work is only one of them. Besides hard work, we also need talent, inspiration, creativity, luck, and destiny. While most of us work hard, true success and joy come only to some, while most others have to remain, content with whatever they get. Your views or comment are most welcome. Kind Regards Sunder T

Sunderblogger.131 A great deal has been said about realization and enlightenment. But what is it? Perhaps this is one thing which can never be expressed in words. When we are sad or happy we say so and the other person can follow because there are common feelings. Realization, however, is something most are quite unaware of. Your comments are welcome. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.130 subject: Tech-ready humans – Think the other way round it is unusual to contemplate a time when technology will literally change the face of humankind. If down the millennia, we have dispensed with such things as tails and increased the space in the cranium to accommodate larger brains. Consider the sorts of new posture-related diseases that currently plague users of what are now commonplace technologies such as mobile phones and laptops, such as tech necks, frozen shoulders, sprained hands, etc. Once an ideal tech-ready neo-human is figured our, though, the difficult part would be to figure out how the infinitesimally slow normal process of such changes can be speed up!

Sunderblogger.129 subject: Political reforms in India. Situation: India, low At 134 positions [183 in the world list] Due to: High cost of doing business in India, stemming from procedural complexity designed to yield rent for those who wield power. The paper work and formalities involved in starting a business in India is ranked at a poor 165. Worse, when it comes to enforcing contracts, our rank is put at a scandalous second-last or 182/183, which is unchanged still. Solution: A more transparent, business-like regulatory regime would boost investment and enterprise, and augment the quality of economic growth. We need hassle-free procedure to boost business activity. Overall, strengthening transparency and efficiency of commercial dispute resolution, and improving bankruptcy procedures would pay rich dividends. The bottom line is the pressing need to revamp and reform the business environment across the board. Your views, suggestions, or comments are most welcome. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.128 Subject: Mind, Body, and Self The speaking tree says, there are three aspects to an individual. His persona as people think he is, as he himself thinks he is, and what he actually is. People judge you mostly by your outward manifestation in terms of your personality, attire, the way you carry yourself and your status in the society. You judge yourself by what you think you are capable of doing, while others judge you by what you have already done. An individual`s perception about himself is mostly colored by the twin conditions of self-importance and ego., albeit in varying degrees. Very few are keen to find out that the real Self hidden within to ascertain one`s true identity. Knowledge of the Self is one of the most important fundamentals of philosophy/ your views, suggestions, and comments are most welcome. Kind Regards! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.127 The mindset we have has not helped us. It has led us to a mediocre reality. I has led us to accepting a reality that is full of suffering and pain. We need something that is fulfilling; something that we can enjoy Bliss will be the character of that existence. When can humanity as a whole get that reality? Is it impossible? No, it`s not possible. It is the very nature of our existence to be in bliss, to be symmetry. All that we need to do is not gain anything more than what we have. As a matter of fact, it is a matter of losing what we have. Losing our ego, which is your `I` consciousness, is the culprit. Best Wishes! Sunder T

Sunderblogger.126 this is what the paper says about Arabia it is inevitable that popular anger against regimes propped up by foreign support should contained foreign policy dimensions. But it is important that these Arab popular movements do not give in to anti-Israel hysteria and focus on democratization their national policies. Democracy, ultimately, is what will bring resolution to the Israel-Palestine conflict and that is where their immediate focus should be; India, the US and all other democracies should embrace the change in Arabia Tunisia`s ousted 74-year old president Zine a-Abedine Ben Ali whose wife and family controlled 30% to 40% of the country`s economy and owned assets in every sector from Banks and insurance to transport, tourism and property while amassing an estimated $ 10 billion. Mubarak family reportedly amassed an estimated $41 billion. Long live democracy! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.123 The tension is triggered when we stretch ourselves beyond our mental, physical, and financial capacities and capabilities. The root cause is our expectations. When what we expect to happen does not happen, frustration lead to tension. This in turn leads to compression of the spiritual heart, which is the foundation of devotion that connects us to our soul. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.121 Sunlight is nature`s gift to mankind. We need the sun to survive and to be healthy in body and mind. The rays of the sun contain seven different colors which correspond to our energy centers. Unique vibration of each color in the rays of the sun can be used as tools for healing physical, psychological, and spiritual ills. Sunlight can bring about transformation in body, mind, and sprit that well could be gradual but fulfilling experience ultimately. “As within, so without” – sunlight is all about discovering your inner sun that could be your best friend. Best wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.120 A focused mind succeeds no only because it can solve problem with greater dispatch, but also because problems have a way of somehow vanishing before its focused energies, without even requiring to be solved. A focused mind often attracts opportunities for success that, to less focused (and therefore less successful) individuals, appear to come by sheer luck. Concentration awakens our powers and channels them, dissolving obstacles in our path, literally attracting opportunities, insights and inspirations. In many ways, subtle as well as obvious, concentration is the single most important key to success. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.119 The difference between ego and will is that the ego is blind but the will has vision. Will has its source in the pure Self. Ego springs from avidya, a false sense of identification with the external world, and is usually concerned with preserving self-image and self-identity. Ego is characterized by stubbornness, selfishness, and unwillingness to compromise. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.118 becoming successful in the world requires a strong will, and that strong will needs to be properly guided so we develop a strong personality rather than a trivial, egotistical one. A strong personality exhibits tolerance and endurance. It has the power to `vanquish` an opponent, but chooses to forgive and forget instead. When egotistical, on the other hand, we demonstrate our weakness by answering a pebble with cannon. We lose composure the moment our feelings are even slightly bruised. We have received from others, but an even harder time remembering how much we have injured others. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.117 we find that everything is absolutely based on a fundamental ultimate law: nothing ever geos wrong. Yes, sometimes it looks to us as if it has gone wrong, because we were expecting something else. That`s a problem-we do one thing, we sow one seed and we expect something else. We sow the seeds of one kind of flower and we expect some other kind of flower, so when the flowers come we are frustrated. But flowers come through the seed, not our wishes. Life is our project. We are our life`s creators. God has created men, but as freedom. So there is an essential freedom inside; now it is up to you to choose what you would like to happen to you in life and then you will see that it starts happening. One thing is linked with another, one thing leads to another, and slowly you have taken a certain rout; then all other alternatives are dropped. Life is a small affair a 70 year affair in which one-third will be gone in sleep, another one-third will be gone in earning bread and butter, another one-third in other stupidities….. It is not a big thing, compared to death it is nothing. Death is eternity. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.116 In India, the big `C` stands not so much for `Cancer` as for `Corruption. Corruption, which seems to thrive at all levels, is perhaps the single biggest threat to our national economic and ethical health. Abolish corruption? It`s like saying `let `a abolish gravity`. Corruption has become as essential factor in our lives as gravity, which keeps everything in its place. Any suggestion that it could be done away with sounds like a joke, and not a particularly funny one at that. OK, so corruption is something unavoidable, something that we have to learn to live with. But who`s responsible for it? How does the spiral of corruption begin? Who`s at the beginning of the ghoos story? The other day, the answer to that question was revealed tome. I realized who the source of corruption is: it was me. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.115 William Blake said:” He who bends to himself a joy/Does the winged life destroy; /But he who kisses the joy as it flies/Lives in eternity`s sunrise” Being is consciousness without the attached strings of attachment and ego. Being is a way of seeing the world, and everything in it, through the consciousness of a poet, or an artist, or a sage. Being has no title deed, no desire of possession, no stamp of ownership... The polar opposite of being is consciousness in the mode of having. The world and everything in it- beauty, wealth, power, and fame- is perceived as possession, something to have, and to hold on to at all the cost. If being is pure consciousness without ego, having is pure ego without consciousness. In having the ego becomes all consuming my wishes and desires that must be fulfilled, my ideal home, my perfect family, my enviable collection of art and beauty, my good name and reputation, the world as my private property to do with as I will.

Sunderblogger.114 Religion travel is the largest segment in India`s domestic tourism. Close to 60 percent of those travelling within India combine it with a stop at a shrine or an important place of worship. This segment has been growing by at least 35 per cent. High-end spiritual tourism is the in thing. With increased connectivity and availability of quality accommodation at religious place in India, there has been an increase in this segment. High-end spiritual tourism includes foreigners from UK, France, Germany, and other European countries. NRIs too form a significant share of the market. However, the biggest proportion is still formed by the affluent businesspersons and their families within India. Your comments are most welcome. Best Wishes! Sunder Thadani
