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. Follow Ramesh Bijlani at Speaking- tree.in

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.

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.

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.

India is a funny place for business. Nitin Gadkari 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 chauffeur take on the job of a company director even
while continuing to drive the US president around? Can Mitt Romney`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 BJP 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

Anger is a sign of mental weakness, and ends in repentance or remorse. If you can control anger, you will have limitless energy in your reserve. How to control anger? Be alert. Pray. Do more jape, chant. Keep watch over your mind. Observe silence daily for an hour. Forget and forgive. Bear insult and injury. This is what Swami Sivananda said. You will find more useful reading in www.speakingtree.in- Kind Regards! Sunder T.

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.

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.

Stress is a disease of the 21^st 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.

Fatwas issued by sharia courts or muftis had no legal base and hence could not enforced has created news in India. It came after a public litigation came up for questioning the jurisdiction of sharia courts, Supreme Court of India has clarified this and asserted that fatwas had no place in the country`s constitutions. One example on the subject is banning an all-girl Kashmiri rock bank, purportedly on religious grounds. Girls were compelled to disband their group due to community  pressure.On the face of it fatwas were harsh on women. Another example is from Muzaffarnagar, where a woman was raped by her father in law, and she was asked to treat her husband as her son. In modern Indian democracy, these things are taken as a serious issues as women has an equal status as per the constitution of India. Any such fatwas and other extrajudicial community announcements or rulings reinforce patriarchal biases and militate against reason and justice. Besides the danger is that these things can be easily manipulated to suit some people. Kind Regards.

There is lot of misconceptions about rape, which is why those concerned by the increasing
prevalence of this crime. Rape has nothing to do with sexuality as perverse as it may be.
It is the demonstration of the total dominance of men over all women, and is the
logical extension of an entrenched patriarchal society fighting against any form of
empowerment for women. Rape, the so-called `dishonoring` of women, who,  `belong` to an
adversarial group or tribe has long been an instrument of war, in most parts of the world.
By `despoiling` their women, the rapist besmirches the masculine pride of his enemies,
and symbolically castrates them by taking away their dominant manhood and replacing it
with his own

That many of us are apt to equate happiness and success with money, material wealth and possessions,” is a belief born of sheet ignorance. You cannot be happy just because you live in a mansion or a penthouse apartment. You cannot be achieving peace and inner harmony just because you drive a Mercedes or a BMW. 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. The happiest people are those who cultivate the higher mind and think in interesting thoughts.

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.
