वसुधैव कुटुंबकम्

 2015 में छोटे भाई को १६ सूत्र लिखे थे. देखने वाली आँखें बहुत आगे तक देख सकती है, सिर्फ़ संस्कार के जाले काटने का साहस चाहिए. किंतु हम सब अपने सोने के पिंजरे में ही रहना पसंद करते जिसके दरवाज़े भी खुले है. खुला आसमाँ हमे भयभीत करता है. स्नेह के लिए जिगरा लगता है, मोह के लिए बायोलॉजिकल रिश्ता. किसी और के लिये कर गुजरना एक सभ्य और संभ्रांत समाज की एकमात्र पहचान है. हम सबमें बरगद बनने की क्षमता है, हम बोनसाई बन दुनिया रिंझा रहे है. अब उम्र के इस पड़ाव पर सब भाई ही है, इसीलिए ये सूत्र आपके लिये मेरा स्नेह है. वसुधैव कुटुंबकम्!!! आज इतना ही.

What is your life's song?

At the Himba of Namibia in Southern Africa, the date of birth of a child is fixed, not at the time of its arrival in the world, nor in its design, but much earlier: since the day the child is thought in His Mother's mind.⠀

When a woman decides she's going to have a child, she settle down and rests under a tree, and she listens until she can hear the song of the child who wants to be born. And after she heard this child's song, she comes back to the man who will be the father of the child to teach him that song. And then, when they make love to physically design the child, they sing the song of the child, to invite him.⠀⠀

When the mother is pregnant, she teaches the singing of this child to the midwives and older women of the village. So, when the child is born, old women and people around him sing his song to welcome him.⠀

As the child grows, the other villagers learn his song. So if the child falls, or gets hurt, he always finds someone to pick him up and sing his song. Similarly, if the child does something wonderful, or successfully passes through the rites of passage, the people of the village sing his song to honor him.⠀

In the tribe, there is another opportunity where villagers sing for the child. If, at any time during his life, the person commits an aberrant crime or social act, the individual is called in the center of the village and the people of the community form a circle around him. Then they sing his song.⠀

The tribe recognizes that the correction of antisocial behavior does not pass through punishment, it is by love and reminder of identity. When you recognize your own song, you don't want or need to do anything that would harm the other.⠀

And the same way through their lives. In Marriage, songs are sung together.⠀

And when, getting old, this kid is lying in his bed, ready to die, all the villagers know his song, and they sing, for the last time, his song.

Birth is an quantum leap by Baby

 In a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other:

“Do you believe in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves for what we will be later.”

“Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?”

The second said, “I don’t know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t understand now.”

The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”

The second insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.”

The first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.”

“Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.”

The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”

The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.”

Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”

To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.”

Truth enlightens and menifest in quantum leaps, transcending the realm of the mind.

The mind serves as a tool for survival.

The heart, for love.

The liver, for living, leveraging the time granted to us.

Yet, we often misuse these tools." - Rahul

How you grow?

 When asked what she had learned in her first two years on the job, a young achiever with a postgraduate degree from IIM responded:

"In the initial year, I dedicated myself entirely to delivering the best possible work.

Then, I learnt , need to butter my boss and also creating a sense of reliance, making myself indispensable by keeping things at me.

I smiled and remarked, 'True leadership involves rendering oneself obsolete.'

She seemed irritated and asked, 'But then how do you progress?'

To which I replied, 'That's precisely how you progress, rendering oneself obsolete!'

Disappointed with the conversation, she appeared utterly perplexed.

I responded, "You'll grasp it eventually. Just not quite ready for it now."

We are fostering a society driven by the allure of material gain and comfort, neglecting the essence of true growth and fulfillment."
