My wish, Your wish and Divine wish

I have a feeling that, We are perceiving the world fallaciously most of the time and pass judgments. This, I feel, is the main cause for our miseries. In the course we neither trust god nor ourselves. If some activity takes place according to my wish, I feel happy and top of the world. If the activity goes against my wish, I feel unhappy and find the whole world against me. Even I doubt whether a god do exist or not. Sometimes I feel that, I have lost control of the activity and try to console myself. This is true for everyone of us, I am sure. Here I have not mentioned anything about "your wish", because "Your wish" is your "My wish". Isn't it? Hence there are only two things, My wish and Divine wish. Any activity, or happening in the world has to fall in anyone of the two categories. As I said earlier, I am on top of the world when everything happens according to my wish, but what happens if it doesn't? Should I get upset over it, or should I accept it as divine wish?
Here I wish to tell about an interesting game, which I played during my days at Isha yoga centre. This is called "Heads - I win, Tails - You lose". I wish, you play this game with your spouse.
Spin a coin, If "Heads" then you win a point, If "Tails" your spouse loses a point. Play this game for about ten rounds and find out who wins the game. I bet, you will never lose the game, no matter how many rounds you play.
This is how we want to play in the real life. We never bother about the spirit of the game. But when reality bites, we feel bitten. Please understand my dear friends, If the things are not going in your way, it goes according to divine plan. Just accept as it is.

The Garden Fire

Image
Sundays sometimes make you lazy. You would like to do many things but endup doing nothing.The whole day would be passed without doing anything worthfully. But, ofcourse, trivial works such as cleaning your wardrobe, small repair jobs like, tightening the screws of your cycle seat, lubricating the scooter, door hinges etc. would be carried out without much fuss. I just looked out at the garden. It was untidy. Lot of trashes ( the once ornamental stuff of trees, now fallen leaves) covered the garden area. I decided to clean it and succeeded. After an hour of sweating, I dumped all the garbage and set fire on it. What a beautiful view!. I glanced, then stared at the flame. It was blazing. I felt a sense of pride in my mind. "Ah, How brilliant is the fire that I have set". I just sat down and looked it until all the garbage is burnt. My thoughts turned inside. Just setting fire to the material waste had given me so much satisfaction. We have dumped so much of trash in our mind in...

Dharbhai - An article by TRS Iyengar

Image
This article is on one of the practices widely used by Indian Brahmins all over using a Holy Grass named Dharbham or Dharbai.In all functions, auspicious or inauspicious, a performing person needs to wear a ring made of this Dharbham. But many have lost the reason of why it is to be used in the first place. What I learnt from my father is proved to be accurately correct by a Medicine Practitioner. A Doctor named Sadhashiv Rao, once visited my home. When the topic turned to many subjects, I needed to tell him about the Holy Grass namedDharbham. When I told him about the usage and the values, he could not just believe my words. So, he took out a bunch of the Dharbham from me, went straight to the clinic to take an x-ray of his palm, by covering his hand with the Dharbham. To his utter surprise, he found that the grass absorbed about 60% of the radiation! When the so powerful X-ray radiation can be absorbed by the Holy Grass,why can it not absorb the ill radiations spread over the atmosph...
