Stop Judicial Tyranny !!

Why is it that the people who should be convicted are declared acquitted?

Why is it that the people who should be acquitted are declared convicted?

This is happening at all levels starting from saddam hussein to memons to shobhraj to george F bush...

Can I do something for it... Am I doing something for it ???

Or will I keep doing the same work for my lovely company...
Nothing bad in it, but am I made to earn my bread only...
Even a dog does so... all through its life...

My apologies to you !!

I do not know if 11 is lucky or not ???

But of late it has been witness to many happenings..

Why after all do they procreate ??
Why after all do they kill ??
Why after all do they Love ??
Why after all do they rape ??
Why after all do they marry ??
Why after all do they divorse ??
Why after all do they create ??
Why after all do they destroy ??


FYI - Time is not so well timed
Life is not so well lived

I do not know why I write
I do not know what I write

But I am sad at heart...
I am lonely deep within...

My sincere apologies to whom-so-ever I have caused pains...
My sincere apologies to whom-so-ever I have hurt till today....

I feel a little lighter now... not much... hope you help me further by forgiving...

You own me... I will be happy...

Guten Tag...

I woke up this morning, and it hit me.
What am I going to do with my life?

Will I do the same things, that i did yesterday, again...

The Highest Ideal

The highest ideal of man is not bhagti, mukti, vision of god, reaching heaven or sitting in samadhi. It is a state of well-balanced and smooth-functioning body and mind, in which body, mind and soul are able to live in harmony with each other as well as with their surroundings.This may not sound a very high ideal to many. But every passing year of my life is confirming my belief that there is only one lasting satisfaction, and that is the passage of our life in a balanced and smooth manner, that is to say, without any part of it getting lop-sided. If the tiny boat of our personality is balanced on the sea of life then even the greatest waves will not be able to harm it. And it will even be able to carry a heavy baggage, provided it is loaded evenly. But if any side of it - front, rear, left, right - is lop-sided, it will always seem at the verge of overturning even empty what to talk of carrying any heavy baggage, and we will live in dread of it every minute.

To achieve a well-balanced and smooth state we will have to know our body, our brain, our mind, and the forces surrounding us. This state can only be achieved with much hard work and much knowledge. This is the state which can be called the state of jeevan-mukti.

The body which is the home of our personality, to know it fully is our first need; the brain through which this personality is to prosper, to know its importance and strengths is our second need; and the mind through which this personality can manifest itself, to know it is our third need. These needs cannot be fulfilled by ordinary, irregular and half-hearted exercises, these cannot be got as boons from some holy men, these have nothing to do with performing parkarmas (going around) of holy places or having holy dips there or drinking water off the feet of idols, or offering flowers and sweets to idols. Just as no body can become a wrestler without exercising in an akhara, similarly, no body can fulfill his above mentioned three needs in some other way except by knowing the laws of Nature and the working of his own body, brain and mind.

And above all, is his fourth need: to familiarize himself fully with the powers surrounding him, to use the powers sympathetic to him in his favour and to secure himself from the opposing ones. To fulfill this need the man will be required to explore the whole of Nature. Sun, moon, stars, air, water, fire, society, polity, civilization, sex, love - all will require that man fully reconciles with them. Whatever is not fully understood and reconciled with, its presence will create unease. He who does not know how a radio speaks, or how an electric bulb gives light without oil or fire, how armies and armies fly through air, how submarines run through the deepest waters of the sea, when he sees such things, first he gets awed by them, and then feels himself hollow because of his inadequate knowledge.

Society, love and sex have a deep relationship with man, but he had never cared to know about them. The result is the present uncontrollable, fluid state. Marital discords, misunderstandings, disinterestedness, impulsive behaviours, hysteria, madness are the result of this very ignorance.

Man made great temples, suffered unbearable pains for the sake of a deceptive mukti, wrote abstract philosophies, made difficult rites and rituals, tortured and got tortured, heard soundless sounds, received revelations - but did not further his knowledge of himself and his surroundings, nor realized his unity with Nature.The result is the hell that we have prepared for ourselves on this earth, where nobody is free to do anything, everything is in chains taut and tense. To live, to be, to enjoy, to see, to appreciate, nothing is dared. Fear stalks every step. Restrictions cover every inch. Every happening is frightening, every moment one is afraid of an omnipresent power happy to run down our efforts. Sermons are delivered from all sides to remain bowed before this very power for hours together and rub noses. He who tries to look up by lifting his neck a bit gets his neck cut. The man will not face more frightening hell anywhere else - he lives in this very hell now.But to live in heaven should be his ideal. Heaven, not after death, but now, and in this very world. Every kind of happiness is man's birthright, provided he can have it without usurping any body's right and without giving any body pain. That image of God is mistaken and harmful which keeps man in fear, and making him a sinful nonentity shows the only hope for him in asking for forgiveness. This image does injustice to man and God both. If no God can be thought of without such an image, then man is in need of no God. Building temples for such a God are useless, and worshipping him has no effect except making man slave and lazy.
But what prevents us from imagining a better and more beautiful God? Stars are beautiful, moon is beautiful, sun is splendid, sky is clear and limitless, forests are full, deserts are wide, seas are unmeasurable and unfathomable, earth's potential is unlimited, love is ecstatic, hug has a wonderful electric current in it, sweet words have magic in them, to sacrifice is to gain fullness of life, health is happiness, hunger gives a unique taste of its own, food gives wonderful satisfaction, good wishes are harbinger of peace, beauty has bloom, sympathy has embrace, tears have some memories dissolved in them, flowers have messages, birds have music, music has intoxication - and in the laughter of this intoxication is the tingle of God.

Is it a small worship to understand this God? Do the eyes closed in blind-faith depict a better state than the knowledge of such a God? Isn't the God which remains present as happiness and beauty in skies, in the hearts of everything a far better and beautiful imagination than the one who sends those who do not worship his name to hells and to repeated cycles of births and deaths?

I have a dream...

If you believe the wonder of a fairy tale
You can take the future even if you fail
I believe in angels
Something good in everything I see
I believe in angels
When I know the time is right for me
I'll cross the stream - I have a dream

Which Wolf Won ?

One evening an old grandfather told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said,
"My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside all of us.
One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret,greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false, pride, superiority, and ego.
The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather,
"Which wolf wins?"

The old grandfather simply replied, "The one you feed."

will I eat a dumb & deaf human coz its a rich source of Protein, and incapable otherwise !!

when civilistaion started long long back....ppl lived naked and just killed anything and ate raw...then they became a little civilised and knew to cook meat before eating, (also started hiding/protecting their body parts), then they became a little more civilised and stared agriculture and eating chosen vegetables. By now they also started living in homes and started grouping and society started forming. Many many years down the line Islam, Hinduism etc came into existence as a result of thoughts and experiences being converted into actions. Different people followed different philosophies...some chose ahimsa and tried to go as closer to not hurting others as possible, others did research and proved that non-veg is not meant/that good for humans (and its true, but that is another detailed story). Also some ate meat because they lived in no-vegetation area, where they had/have nO option. So that is human history in a nutshell.

Now, whenever this question is asked, all of us start taking stands, rather than rationalising, unbiased. According to me ideal situation will be when we can stop plucking/killing and eating vegetables also (and not only animals) and live just on
fallen and dying plants etc...But that is not possible (I fail to see this for the masses) so we have to take our own calls and choose the extent to which we can tend towards idealism.

Looking from the vitamin,protein etc point of view also there are vegan substitutes (like milk) for the meat of every goat,cow, fish that we kill, and they seem to better serve our need for food and the purpose of ahimsa and spirituality,though not fully. Speaking culturally, I can not imagine revered personalities like Jesus Christ or Prophet, Ram, or Buddha etc eating a goat, cow or lamb, but yes they have all saved and nurtured these animals in many instances in history.

So, finally, i feel that it is not that my God wants me to eat meat or forbids me from eating meat, it is more of every individuals own intellectua/cultural status and understanding the evolution of humanity (not humans..eh..), and civilisation
that one eats or does not eat meat....

idea of Sanaatan dharma...

Quite Plausible...read on....

well, hinduism is a pagan religion. there is no concept of God in Hinduism but several gods representing different forces of nature, indra, varun, etc. the purans and upnishads were written in medevial time by corrupt brahmins to fulfil their own interests. they all are well contradicting. shiva mahapuran states that in the beginning there was shiva, and he created brahma and vishnu, while vishnu puran states the same for vishnu.

as for shivling, one puran states that it's a representation of virility, ling means male genitals. scriptures say that once shiva was making love with parvati and agatsya muni knocked the foor. shiva couldn't open the door and was cirsed by agatya that he'll he'll be worshipped in the same form (ling over yoni, the common depiction of shivling).

another legend states that some sages who were jealous of shiva's masculinity cut his genitals, which fell through all the worlds(loks) creating tremors. parvati was requested to stop the ling, so she stopped it on her yoni. so you can see how much the purans differ.

as for the pagan hindu gods, they are considered to be the souce of/or eveloved from the same source as greek and roman pagan gods (like zeus:indra, uranus:varun, jupiter:brihaspati/guru).

some even say that abraham and sara are obscure forms of brahma and sarasvati, but this is debatable.

the legend of noah or nooh is stated in vedas as the legend of manu. manu saved the mankind from the flood, so the sanskrit word for man is "manav", son of manu. and it's so similar to the word "man".

i can go on forever but in a nutshell, humanity evolved at a single place and migrated, and carried along with it the legends. which changed significantly as generations passed. and also due to the later inter mixings and migrations.
