Is man the architect of his own future?

Is man the architect of his own future?
“Every man is the architect of his own future”. Each and every person must have come across this statement sometime or other but how many have had the courage and conviction to stand up and firmly state his or her views on this? Everything must have a reason –an answer to the question” why”? But till today, no valid reason has been found for this statement.
The state of education in our country today is one of the proofs for the sweeping generality of this statement. We the children of India, have the right to progress and prosper. How can the country prosper, if the educational system is what it is today? Some of us are being denied education-the basis for all round development-just because we happen to have been born into a casts which had exploited others. Now, can anyone tell me of what use it is, to make us suffer for some grave errors and sins committed by the previous generations? We are being denied our rights as human beings to prosper in life, just because we are in a certain caste. Even if we get high marks in qualifying examinations, others who have lower marks. Get admission into colleges and universities. This is a shame to our country when the basis of it is secularism!
What happen to all our hard work; have all the pains and efforts we have taken at each step of our lives, till now, gone in vain? No human beings rightful progress should be hindered. How can we even think about our future if the present is so bleak and dull? There seems to be no ray of hope.
How can every man be an architect of his own future when the man is placed in such circumstances ? Every man needs some freedom; some place in this world to grow in and shape his future . can we ever shape our future when there are such powerful hands to wield and mould us according to their won whims and fancies? As long as such circumstances prevail , no man can even get the material to plan his future, leave alone building it.
How can we hope to step into the future and try to shape our own lives, when every road we take seems to always lead to dead-end?

Opportunity never comes. It’s there if you know how to seize it
The person who knows how will always have a job. But the person who knows why will be his boss.
I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha

Monday 21–June- 2010
Importance of Continuous Learning.
Today the work environment is changing rapidly. To meet the new challenges, continuous learning seems to be the only way to set new parameters of excellence.
Many organizations and Educational Institutes have been holding in-house orientation programme sot update the knowledge levels of their employees. Now it is not only the work-force which is learning but also the organization concerned. Certainly this learning process, keeps the Lerner, either an institution or an individual, or both, abreast of the times.
How far this continues learning process helps? If it is an educational institution, the seminars, and workshops bring personnel together which help them exchange, and observe the teaching-learning techniques to keep themselves abreast of the latest in the field. If it is a business organization it leads to improved quality standard and product improvement . This process certainly enhance their capability to continuously adapt to changing parameters in the field .
The other ways of acquiring such knowledge are making optimum use of information infrastructure such as group discussion, computer conferencing, internet, web chats, and various other ways of knowledge dissemination.
Thus constant learning process and upgrading nourishes new patterns of thinking and help expanding the creative abilities. Hence the importance of learning as an on-going process to enhance the knowledge and skill of an individual for the promotion of individual and organizational performance.
My Son’s Letter
My son’s letters always send me to the dictionary. It is difficult to understand the language the body uses”, said one father.
“You are lucky”, said another, “My son’s letter always send me to the bank”.
True Mediation
Mediation is not seeking an end; It is not groping purposefully after a goal. Out of mediation comes immense silence; not cultivate silence, not eh silence between two thoughts; but a silence that is unimaginable. The brain becomes extraordinarily quiet when in the process of enquiry; when there is silence, there is great perception. It is only when the mind is absolutely silent that one finds that which is beyond all words, which is timeless. Then out of that comes the vastness of true mediation.
Quote from true religion always helps, Real issue of life and religion.
In considering these real issues, we should always remember the basic fact that life is not a mere groping in the dark. It has a definite end, which is the attainment of perfection or illumination or complete self-fulfillment. Growth and advancement, which are two basic urges in man, and protection from injury and maintenance, which are two basic requirements, have to be correlated to that end. And providing this correlation is the function of religion.
Our life on earth begin with our birth. Unfortunately, in these days the birth of a human being seems to have lost its sanctity and wonder . However , it has to be remembered that the birth of a baby is not only the biological consequence of the union of man and women. A metaphysical issue is also involved. The birth of a baby means the assumption of a baby means the assumption of body by a soul. A baby is a soul, a divine spark, or pilgrimage to high destiny.
He who over comes others is strong; he who overcomes himself is mighty.

Live Within Today
How a walking trip always seems shorter if we concentrate, not on the total distance to our destination, but just the distance to the next milepost. In the same way, we should concentrate on living within today. Then better tomorrows will certainly follow.
How To Achieve Social Success?
No man is an island. If we find that we are one cut off from others due to reservedness and shyness, it is time to do something to correct it.

Friend
A friend is a push when you are stopped, a guide when you are searching, a song when you are glad, a word when you are lonely, and a smile when you are sad.
Quote from True Religion always helps
Thus we see true religion begins to mould a human life from the very conception . it is not theory but a spiritual fact and genetic fact too. Necessarily, absence, of true religion also plays a negative part, which becomes obvious in social maladies like juvenile delinquency. Those who do not want to be the future parents of ruffians, will have to open themselves up to the creative influence of true religion, Children born of truly pious parents in a spiritual home are born with certain awakened mental powers which others born under other situations will not have.

How to Relax Our Mind

Monday 7–June- 2010
How To Relax Our Mind?
A mind filled with tension and unhappiness leads to negative thoughts. Such a mind creates problems to oneself and others.
In contrast, a mind which is relaxed and happy comes from positive thoughts. Transforming negative thoughts into positive thoughts. Is the hall mark of wisdom. It is well illustrated by Gautam Buddha, in an anecdote.
Once Buddha was addressing a large gathering of disciples. During the discourse , one person, out of jealousy, abused Buddha. Buddha Lovingly replied. “People are waiting to listen to my discourse in the neighboring village; please do come tomorrow. “
The man was astonished. He asked Buddha, “Are you not hurt by my harsh words?’ Buddha replied, “ In order to hurt me, you should have met me before my Enlightenment. Just as fire loses its potency when it comes into contact with water, your words, even though full of fury, lost their sharpness when they are hurled at me now”.
This is the positive thought center one has to awaken Before Buddha’s Enlightenment everything and everybody hurt him. But after he attained illumination the negative thought center has changed completely. There is yet another story that inspires us into a different thought process.
Once a father felt disturbed when his son made noise. He thought of method to calm his son. He tore a world map into piece and asked his son to join them. To his surprises , the son came back with the world map neatly pasted, in a few minutes. “How did you do this?’ asked the father. The son replied, “ Behind the world map, there was a picture of a man and I could join them easily”. Here the father who was not aware of son’s potential was finally led to find it. It is an awakening for the father that he could channalise his son’s energy and intelligence for a positive cause.
Let us change ourselves. The world will change by itself. At the same time, let us not get lost in changing only ourselves and forget to include others in our growth. We live in an “ I and You” world.
Think over on the following .
To a question, “Who is flying the kite”?
A boy replies. ‘I am flying the kite.”
The tail of the kite says, “ I am flying the kite”
The string says, “ I am flying the kite.”
Voice of the Lord said, “Oh! Children . We are flying the kite”.
Hence , the Vedic prayer says, “Let us all be Enlightened”.
We can relax in the world only when we teach ourselves and others to strengthen our strengths and weaken our weakness.
Whatever be our weakness, if we identify it , the negative thought centre in us will lose its grip on us.
Life is both fair and unfair. Learn to be a good finder. Studies show that happy people are good finder and also have the courage to counter unfairness.
Let our goodness come from our strengths, not from weakness.
How To Overcome Worry
Happiness is the goal of every human being. But many find that they are often troubled worry. “What shall I do if this happens?” How can I manage to deal with that?” The thought of meeting him terrifies me”. These are some thoughts that chase the mind of the victim of worry.
As long as we continue to worry, happiness escapes. If we continues to worry, happiness escapes. If we are worried, it shows in our face. People shun those who are worried with their won problems.
When you are worried to face a situation. “Be prepared for the worst that can possibly happen” and then improve on the worst. You can improve on the worst by analyzing the facts and arriving at a decision to act on it.
Suppose you are a young person employed in a job you do not like. Besides being unhappy, you are worried about your future. You are free to leave the job and try your best to secure another job.
If you stay where you are, you save yourself the trouble of looking for another job but you must suffer a life of dissatisfaction. If you move, you stand a chance of getting into a satisfying job with better prospects.
The advice that one should change his job is more suited to a younger man. The older man, with the best part of his working life behind him, may not be able to start again at the bottom in something new. Even though he dislikes the job, he must stick to it. Where this is the case, the problem can still be solved by changing the attitude.
There are many such problems in human relations that can be solved by seeing them in a different perspective. Worries caused by misunderstandings between friends, workers and managements, husbands and wives can all be overcome in this way.
“Getting it of your chest” is another method . Pouring our troubles into the ear of a sympathetic listener is a sound method. The pity of it is that there are not more people willing to listen . when we consult a psychologist, he acts as a sympathetic listen in a professional way. But anyone who is sympathetic to care and listen is performing psychotherapy for the troubled person.
In certain cases, where a frustrating situation cannot be altered, one needs to compensate for the frustration. This means that one should seek to achieve success in other aspects of life. Then the lack of success in the frustrating aspect will not matter much.
For example, a person who is frustrated by distasteful work which he cannot leave, might turn his attention to cultivating adequate social life, sports or recreation and so on.
When we cannot change the worrying situation, let us avoid it as much as possible. Do not think about your unpleasant work when you are away from it. If an unpleasant task lies ahead required to do it. Do not attempt to do today what must wait until tomorrow. Be content to live one day at a time.
As self is the root cause of all strife and suffering so love s the root cause of all peace and bliss.
