A Mind That Trusts Itself Is Light On Its Feet..🔱🌟

[Kaushik Basu @kaushikcbasu]

In Delhi now over 6 weeks, I’ve been analyzing India’s economy: It’s in poor shape. With youth unemployment sky high, education in a mess, global confidence low, with O net FDI, pollution at record levels with no action, the only hope is the nation’s youth that has realized this.

Priceless collection ….directly fr Archives……BR Ambedkar's interview with BBC in 1955 where he speaks about Mahatma Gandhi. Very interesting views.

[Naveen Patnaik @Naveen_Odisha]

I would like to highlight on the law-and-order situation in our state. All of us know that shortly after the present Govt. took office, there was a communal incident, several communal incidents in Baleswar district and in several parts of the state. Also, recently in a communal incident where a man was murdered in Khurdha district. This should be rectified. Odisha was known for communal peace and harmony and this should be maintained at all cost.

The mismanagement during the Ratha Yatra when the deity, the shrine of Lord Balabhadra tumbled on the ground. This shocked millions of viewers. Also, there is liquor tragedy in Chikiti of Ganjam district. We have always tried to crack down on illicit liquor in the State.

We know as all of us are aware, during the Ratha Yatra a serving Govt Officer who was on duty was called and was violently attacked by the Governor’s son and humiliated. Now, I have a question for all of us. If you are Governor’s son or minister’s son or MP’s son or MLA’s sons or a senior officer’s son, is the law different for such a person? Is he immune from any prosecution? If this is the case then the people of #Odisha should be informed that certain people are above the law.

In my period, no one was above the law. Nobody could escape the law. The present Chief Minister holds the home portfolio, I hope all these will be informed to him, including the case of recent rape and murder of a minor.

Dear @narendramodi

Odisha has voted for change. We expect jobs and industries here.

Our natural resources should be used here to built factories and industries. We need to develop ports in Odisha so that Kolkata port can be decongested.

We need IT towers and buildings so that Bengaluru and Pune can be saved from massive overpopulation.

Thanks.

The least BMTC Bus Conductors should do is accept digital payments while traveling for airports. We are in the 21st century and our country has progressed enough to bring digitalization. I request the concerned authorities to take action @siddaramaiah @BMTC_BENGALURU

[AdvaitaVani @AdvaitaVani]

Why are people so afraid? The answer is that they have made themselves helpless and dependent on others. We are so lazy, we do not want to do anything for ourselves. We want a Personal God, a savior, or a prophet to do everything for us. The very rich man never walks; he always goes in a carriage. But in the course of years, he wakes up one day paralyzed all over. Then he begins to feel that the way he had lived was not good after all. No man can walk for me. Every time one did, it was to my injury. If everything is done for a man by another, he will lose the use of his own limbs. Anything we do ourselves, that is the only thing we do. Anything that is done for us by another never can be ours. You cannot learn spiritual truths from my lectures. If you have learned anything, I was only the spark that brought it out, made it flash. That is all the prophets and teachers can do. All this running after help is foolishness.

It's already been a year since I withdrew admission from Bangalore University, Jnanbharati Campus. But even after withdrewing admission within 10 days, my refund still isn't initiated. Is this where we are going, how can an institution play with a student's money?

👌Those of you who have studied the Gita will remember the memorable passages: “He who looks upon the learned brahmin, upon the cow, the elephant, the dog, or the outcast with the same eye, he indeed is the sage and the wise man. Even in this life he has conquered relative existence whose mind is firmly fixed on this sameness; for the Lord is one and the same to all, and the Lord is pure. Therefore, those who have this sameness for all and are pure are said to be living in God.” This is the gist of Vedantic morality — this sameness for all. We have seen that it is the subjective world that rules the objective. Change the subject, and the object is bound to change. Purify yourself, and the world is bound to be purified. This one thing needs to be taught now more than ever before. We are becoming more and more busy about our neighbors, and less and less about ourselves. The world will change if we change. If we are pure, the world will become pure.

[Ramakrishna Mission @rkmdel]

The true nature of the Jiva is eternal Existence―Knowledge-Bliss. It is due to egotism that he is limited by so many Upadhis (limiting adjuncts), and has forgotten his real nature.

💞Our Own Chosen Way🛤

It is a great tendency among liberal people to . . . nibble a little here and there and, in the long run, find they have nothing. In this country [America] many times it grows into a sort of disease—to hear various things and do nothing.

Here is the advice of one of our old bhaktas [lovers of God]: ‘Take the honey from all flowers, mix with all with respect, say yea, yea to all, but do not give up your seat.’ This not giving up your own seat is what is called nistha [devotion to one ideal]. It is not that one should hate, or even criticize, the ideals of other people; one knows they are all right. But, at the same time, one must stick to one’s own ideal very strictly. . . .

So mix with all, say yea, yea to all, but join none. Stick to your own ideal of worship. When you worship, worship that ideal of God which is your own Ishtam, your own Chosen Ideal. If you do not, you will have nothing. Nothing will grow.

When a plant is growing, it is necessary that it should be hedged round lest some animal should eat it up. But when it has become strong and a huge, gigantic tree, do not care for any hedges—it is perfect in itself. So just when the seed of spirituality is growing, to fritter away the energies on all sorts of religious ideas—a little of this and a little of that: a little of Christianity, a little of Buddhism, and in reality, of nothing—destroys the soul.

This [acceptance of various religious ideas] has its good side; and in the end we will come to it. Only do not put the cart before the horse.

In the first place, we are bound to become sectarians. But this should be the ideal of sectarianism: not to avoid anyone. Each of us must have a sect, and that sect is our own Ishtam—our own chosen way. However, that should not make us want to kill other people—only to hold onto our own way. Ours is sacred and theirs [also] is sacred. . . .  That should be the attitude of worship of everyone. When you pray to your own ideal, your own Ishtam—that is the only God you shall have. God exists in various phases, no doubt, but for the time being, your own Ishtam is the only phase for you. Then, after a long course of training in this Ishtam, when this plant of spirituality has grown, and the soul has become stronger and you begin to realize that your Ishtam is everywhere, [then] naturally all these bondages will fall off. When the fruit becomes ripe it falls of its own weight. If you pluck an unripe fruit it is bitter, sour. . . . Simply hearing lectures. . . and undigested ideas is no good. One must have devotion to one idea; those that have this devotion will become spiritual, will see the light.

You see everyone complaining—‘I tried this,’ and ‘I tried that,’ and if you cross-question them as to what they tried, they will say they heard a few lectures in one place and another, a handful of talk in one corner and another, and for three hours, or a few days, they worshiped and thought they had done enough. That is . . . not the way to perfection, not the way to attain spirituality. Take up one idea, your Ishtam, and let your whole soul be devoted to it. Practice this from day to day until you see the result, until the soul grows, and if it is sincere and good, that very idea will spread till it covers the whole universe. Let it spread by itself; it will all come from the inside out. Then you will say that your Ishtam is everywhere, and He is in everything. Of course, at the same time, we must always remember that we must recognize the Ishtams of others and respect them, the other ideas of God; or else worship will degenerate into fanaticism. . . .

Knowing that all these ideals we see are good and true and are so many parts of the same God, and at the same time thinking that we are not yet strong enough to worship Him in all these forms, so therefore we must stick to one ideal and make that ideal our life. When you have succeeded in doing that all the rest will come.
