Blogzsunder.202 The human soul is not a just a passive spectator. It participates in our daily life by putting in a word in its shy and non-assertive way, but in a crystal-clear voice. The dynamic aspect of the soul is the psychic being. Soul is like the president of India. The president is at the highest level, but for the sake of dignity of office keeping a distance from routine affairs. For dealing with routine affairs, he appoints a prime minister. The `Prime Minister` that the Soul appoints is the `Ego1. The ego has three `ministers`- the Body, Emotions and Intellect- to take care of different portfolios. But, like the president, sometimes the Soul also feels like putting in a word. The president has a secretariat to take care of that. The secretariat of the soul is the Psychic Being.

Sunderblogger.201 Lokpal bill has kindled hopes of curbing graft, but more needs to be done to banish the menace of Corruption. Nothing emboldens the corrupt more than the belief that there will be negligible or no consequences for their corrupt behavior. The Lokpal will, hopefully, contribute in some measures to create the nexus between crime and punishment. The following steps are necessary. (1) Reform of funding and financial accountability of political parties. (2) A systematic increase in the neutral intervention of technology into as many as possible where the common man has to deal with government. (3) Finalization of model legal framework ensuring transparency and fair play in all transactions relating to the disposal and acquisition of national resources and government procurement processes. (4) Instituting deterrent action in a time bound and exemplary manner for all acts of corruption, which in turn, presupposes substantive judicial reforms. The seed of corruption is the link between Politian’s and political parties and unaccounted money. Anna Hazare has taught us that public pressure is a potent weapon in compelling reform. The onus to put that pressure lies on the people of India. Kind Regards! Sunder T

Sunderblogger.200 India is becoming a political circus where our leaders [Netas] beat our abhinetas anytime, their posturing making 70 mm look small! For example the Lokpal Bill- 46 years after a nation awoke to its destiny, as Jawaharlal Nehru put it, and smelt the coffee-tops any filmi plot. Kind Regards! Sunder T

Sunderblogger.199 Sunderblogger.199 We as human beings have power - not just to cause harm and create terror but to help ourselves of this seemingly hopeless scenario of doom and gloom. It might seem contradictory that people are empowered and empower others, merely by being kind and compassionate and not because they are overbearing, manipulative and unkind and force their view on others. A kind word, a good deed, a cring gesture, a warm simile, all these are like power kegs. Kindness and compassion spring from inner security whereas aggression and hatred come from inner insecurity. When our backs are up against the wall, positive inner resources come to the rescue. Sometimes they are invisible but in times of distress, they give us strength and help us emerge as powerful game changers. Kind Regards Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.198 India is a funny place for business. Nitin Gadkary has proved it. Which other country can claim such a distinction, which showcases Not only multitasking abilities but also socio-economic equality? Can Barack Obama`s chauffer take on the job of a company director even while continuing to drive the US president around? Can Mitt Romey`s driver do both such jobs at the same time? Nope, It`s only in India where such inspiring success stories are possible Drivers, peons, munims(Accountants), astrologers, who are part of the Gadkari network of companies have all shown a commendable flair for business affairs and have been suitably rewarded with high corporate office. Moreover, the BJB leader is not the only one under whose benevolent disposition such enterprise has been encouraged to thrive. Similar success stories abound right across India`s political spectrum. The reason for his is simple. Unlike elsewhere, in India the danda (stick) of the law is accommodative of `h`s, as in `hera-pheri`(cheating). This small inclusion changes the danda (stick) of the law into the business of dhandha (business) as usual Kind Regards Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.195 Life is all about connections. Our mental, emotional, physical and psychic selves only establish connections, be it with nature, people of things. We don`t know how to relate to them. We do not build relationships. When we connect with consciousness and awareness with what is around us, only then do we actually relate to them. Bu we do relate to something and that is our selfish nature. Any action based on the selfish motive will not endure long. Kind Regards Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.194 When the vision of oneness, a higher vision, is absent it creates divisions in the family, company, community, nation and the world. Self-importance is the cause for divisions at any level. In a family there are conflicts, in a company there is manipulation, in a community there is fanaticism, in a country each state wants its own independence and internationally there are wars. This is all because of the absence of vision of oneness- one harmonious family, one strong nation, and one peaceful global family. Sunder Thadani

Sunderblogger.193 Stress is a disease of the 21st century. Everyone seems to be in stress from a child to a retiree. What disturbs the mind? You believe a bad boss, nagging spouse or the weather causes you grief. The truth is that nothing in the world can disturb you except yourself. Stress is defined as mental turbulence caused by unfulfilled desire. As long as a desire remains unactualised you will be in stress. Yet desire is being recklessly fuelled and people are n stress. When you rise above desire and work for something beyond, the object of desire comes to you. Then you can enjoy it thoroughly with a calm mind. So what is the way out? The first step is to manage desire with intellect. If the intellect approves, go ahead and fulfill the desire without fear or guilt. But if the intellect vetoes it, keep away. This gives relief. The next step is desire reduction by upgrading desires. Pick up a higher desire. The lower one drops. Finally, when the lure of the Infinite grips you all desires vanish. You are in Bliss.

Sunderblogger.192 to live life is to be related and in every relationship there are three factors, the subject, object and their connection. If the relationship is harmonious, life is harmonious; if not, life is disharmonious. The art of wisely relating to life and heightening the spirits is being spiritual. Best Wishes Sunder Thadani

You cannot be considered `successful` just because you are a millionaire the happiest people are not the ones who make money, buy property and own stocks.

Sunderblogger.189 our attitude towards other in our workday life reflects like this “Day after day countless creatures are going to the above of heaven yet those that remain behind believe themselves to be immortal”. We believe that what happens to others will not happen to us. We apply different stands to evaluate our own behavior and that of others in all fields of activity. The `other`, across cultures, has been seen variously as a friend- an extension of oneself- or as a foe posing a threat to one`s freedom. The other has been seen by some as deserving our concern or respect, by some as an opportunity for solidarity or mutual transformation, and by some typically as an unwelcome practical, political or cultural limitation. The other can be the ethnic, other, the cultural other, the religious other, the national other or simply the other gender. Kind Regards Sunder Thadani

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
