Enthusiasm: The Key to a Fulfilling Life

Enthusiasm, as Norman Vincent Peale emphasizes, is the driving force that distinguishes those who thrive in life. Those who achieve the most are those who face life with unwavering enthusiasm, approaching its opportunities and challenges with a positive and confident outlook.

Enthusiasm wields the power to create a profound impact. Consider the contrast between two types of individuals: the optimistic, cheerful, and hopeful, who propel events towards positive change, and the gloomy rebels, who lack vision and direction. Enthusiasm becomes the catalyst that separates achievers from those with muddled thinking.

To unlock the doors to the exciting and creative realm of achievers, we must harness the power of enthusiasm. Those who have tasted success will unanimously agree that enthusiasm is the invaluable ingredient of personality that leads to happiness and fulfillment.

Sustaining enthusiasm can be a challenge, especially as we age. The natural enthusiasm of youth may wane over the years, but this decline need not be inevitable. We have the ability to maintain our spirit and remain motivated by enthusiasm, regardless of age, pain, sickness, disappointment, or frustration.

Some individuals defy the odds, remaining enthusiastic until their final moments. They leave this world with their flags flying high, their eyes still aglow with the light of enthusiasm for life. Enthusiasm, as the Lioness Club of Nandamakkam's souvenir reminds us, is the key to a fulfilling and vibrant existence, regardless of the challenges we may face along the way.

Exploring the Profound Concept of Time and Space in the Bhagavad Gita

 

I am Mighty Kala, the eternal time-spirit, the destroyer of the worlds. My mission is to exterminate these people. Even without your support, those warriors arrayed in the enemy's camp shall meet their demise. This verse, Bhagavad Gita 11:32, has gained recent fame thanks to a film featuring physicist Robert Oppenheimer, who recited it during the detonation of the first atomic bomb in 1945 in New Mexico.

 

Time holds a central role in the philosophical tradition of India. In the Yoga Sutras, section I, verse 26, Patanjali unequivocally declares that Ishwar, the creator of the Universe, transcends time.

 

According to Indian philosophy, the Universe's inception involved the disturbance of equilibrium between three forces: sattva, rajas, and tamas. Yet, it offers no explanation for why or how this disturbance occurred.

 

Interestingly, this aligns with the modern concept of the time-space matrix. In the beginning, time and space coexisted in equilibrium, but we remain unaware of how this balance was disrupted. Nonetheless, once this equilibrium shifted, time emerged, and space began to flow, marking the Universe's inception.

 

Time occupies an extraordinary position within this framework. When Krishna declares, "I have become time," he reveals his divine attribute by transitioning from being 'beyond time' to embodying it. As time unfolds, the Universe experiences both a beginning and an end. This is precisely what Krishna conveys in his verse, indicating that all warriors on the battlefield of the Mahabharata will perish, regardless of human actions.

 

Ancient Indians possessed a profound understanding of time and space, as evident in the Patanjali Yoga Sutras, which contain nearly 20 sutras exploring the concept of time.

 

Remarkably, verse 11:32 stands as the sole verse in the Bhagavad Gita specifically addressing the concept of time. As some believe, the Gita represents the essence of all yogic systems practiced in India, rendering this verse particularly significant. Uncertainty shrouds many of our ancient texts due to their transmission through oral tradition rather than writing, allowing for potential corruption or loss over time. Given the complexity of subjects like space-time and the origin of the Universe, it's possible that several intricate verses were either omitted or distorted in these scriptures, including the Gita.

 

Interestingly, in Chapter 11, Krishna chose to reveal his Virat, divine, form, which essentially described galaxy formation, a radiance brighter than a thousand suns, and even offered a glimpse into the creation of a black hole. This marked a remarkable leap of imagination by the author of the Gita, transitioning from discussions of righteous living and kshatriya dharma to the profound realms of space-time and the Universe's origins.

 

In conclusion, one can only hope that the film on Oppenheimer has inspired young individuals to delve into the study of the Bhagavad Gita, seeking to comprehend its profound and timeless meaning.

 

IF HE EXIST

 

 I drive joy there was a doctor in Benaras who spent 7 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 7 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 7 minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste 7 minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 7minutes joy that I derive 4m.-
