A Prayer for Peace

Asathoma Sathgamaya - From ignorance, lead me to truth
Thamasoma jyothir gamaya - From darkness, lead me to light
Mrityorma Amritam Gamaya - From death, lead me to immortality
Om shanthi, shanti, shanti - Om peace, peace peace

This was my school prayer. Beautiful isnt it?

Is there religion in it? NO

Is there caste in it? NO

Its what our civilization that derived this and taught us this as education. Its an upanishad excerpt you may associate this with Hinduism, but know this that Hinduism is not a religion. Its a civilization. Its a virtue of science and practice.

Annadata Sukhinobhava - May the one who provided me with food live in prosperity!

What a nice thought. Do you see religion or caste or creed here? They dont exist in the mind of the one who practiced this. Such is the greatness of Hindutva.

Maatru devo bhava. Pitru Devo bhava, Acharya devo bhava. Athithi devo bhava. - Respects to Mother, Father, Guru and Guest. They are all forms of God

Is there religion in it? NO

Is there caste in it? NO

Still we have communalists in our country.

Why so much of hate? Why Hindu, why Muslim?

Some restrict kids from going to a hindu origin school, some restrict from going to a christian school.

Our practices are beautiful, our actions aren't.

Above all that we are, we are Indians.

Look at our Economy!

downstriding GDP. Ever declining Assets, growing liabilities. 69% fiscal deficit - this means we are to pay double the money of what we collect from taxes. 1,83,028 crores of tax was collected this year, to clear the deficit we have to pay 2x times this money and still have the interest payable. Cost for growth is high, FDI is struggling to meet growing demands of food. Farmer mortality rate is on the rise. Consensus are alarming. Inflation is showing a upward stride.

When we have so much to fight for amongst us, then why not fight together and show our strengths towards one direction?

We have so much to create, to rebuild, renovate, innovate, excavate and celebrate. An opportunity to create a whole new world! And all we do is work selfishly, own desirably and live materialistically.

 Let there be light. Let there be truth. Let there be peace. Because what we have today, isn't ours. Still we fight as if we inherited them. Our country is a gift by those who sacrificed their lives.

So I pray -

Asathoma Sathgamaya - From ignorance, lead me to truth
Thamasoma jyothir gamaya - From darkness, lead me to light
Mrityorma Amritam Gamaya - From death, lead me to immortality
Om shanthi, shanti, shanti - Om peace, peace peace

The power of being different

Many successful people you may know have definitely done something differently to become successful. Examining them further, we observe that - to become someone who is capable of achieving something that is new and different, these successful people had to think differently. They had to think' themselves' to be different. They constantly kept thinking about THINKING differently. If one cant THINK DIFFERENT and BE DIFFERENT then how can he/she make a difference in this world?
Does thinking different give one any guarantee of being successful? Well nothing is guaranteed in real world is it? But it sure does sets one in the right path towards success. 

You may not believe this but - just thinking about being different alone embarks one on a remarkable journey to become a better person. Lets see how being different makes you an attractive, productive, successful and a learned person.

Accomplishments are based on actions. Accomplishments are not directly based on thoughts. Socrates said "what your mind can conceive you can achieve". This has been proven true. But thoughts are the core of taking action. Without thinking about something one would not do it.
Achievement starts with an idea, a perspective, a reason or a point of view or sometimes even just an attitude.

Many a times the easiest way to be different is to do what others are unwilling to do.
Sometimes you may not want to achieve something big and famous, yet thinking different solves the purpose of winning daily hassles that happen to ordinary people too.

Let me share a story -
When a company I knew laid off many employees, everyone were in distress, anxious about what career option to do next, and utterly worried. Among all these, there was one colleague John (name changed), whom all employees openly knew was under-paid and his salary was less compared to the rest.
John was the only happy guy in the distressed lot. He had worked in that company for 12 years, he has had a couple of promotions, used a black and white mobile phone, rode a well maintained 100CC old bike that still gave 65 KMPL mileage, was a father of two middle school going children - yet on the day of his lay off he was some how normal and not worried about loosing the job like the others or running into a financial crisis etc., at all.

It was because, John did things differently. When everyone kept spending in buying their favorite mobile phone, gadgets, automobile, clothing, as they spent on parties, clubs, travel and many other luxuries, John stuck to his principle. His principle was to save 70% of his salary no matter what.
12 years after his investments that compounded had accounted to about 1.7 Crore Rupees.
This way of doing things differently has worked wonders for me too.
Try this for quick results - Try to pick one thing other people won't do. It can be simple, low value, small. It doesn't matter. Whatever it is you think many don't do it, because they find it difficult - You do it. Instantly you'll be a little different from the rest of the pack.

Then continue and keep going. Everyday, think of one thing to do that no one else is willing to do. For example, drinking 6 bottles of water regularly or taking bus to work instead of your car or take up backpacking alone for a week to an adventurous place. etc., After a week of doing this you'll be uncommon person. After a month you are special. After a year you'll be incredible and you will definitely NOT be like anyone else. You have thus directed your thoughts towards achieving more accomplishments.

That for you - is power of being different!
