YES....... Life does gives a 2nd Chance !!

When we discussed the fruit of karma and the whole cycle repeating itself, we also need to discuss how much time do we have to repent it.
Few months ago, i read an article in a national daily which spoke of Salmaan Khan's life at length. I got to know him more as a person. I read about what mistakes did he commit in life thinking them to be the need of the hour. From a shy, modest boy next door, how he transformed to an angry young bollywood actor.
His captivation in prison due to black buck hunting or due to rash driving, killing a handful lives became irreversible stains on his life's cloak.
But today, he has become charitable at heart. Whether it be (monetarily for orphans and old aged) or it be helping new-comers to make their mark in the industry, his hands are always open. This is how probably he is compensating for all his previous Karma.
Same story is shared by actor Sanjay Dutt, who was sent to TADA for his connections with the '93 blasts, or had to suffer a lot being a drug addict.

Or lets take the famous case of Angulimaal, when he met Gautam Buddha. The former's life changed after a short meeting.

The point is to negate the old saying - 'Life only gives us a single chance'.

On the contrary, many a times life gives all of us a Second Chance, though may be in disguise.

The only needed requisite is to keep our antennas 'ON' in receptive mode.

Each individual has taken birth to do his share of work and hence lead a meaningful life. Very few of us would believe that penguins lead all their life for the sake of surviving every passing day.

The point is, we all carry some burden onto ourselves. But at times we think that certain actions are irreversible.
But more than often, life would give us needed answers to all the miseries. The only job we need to do is, receive 'the signal' meant for us, and do the unthinkable in the provided lifetime itself.

Because we still do not have a thesis on whether - Life gives a 3rd chance or not??

The Karma’s Fruit, the Cosmos and the Eternal Bliss !!!!

Often we have heard the age old saying – ‘As you sow, so shall you reap.’

The Bhagwat Gita too talks about the inevitable Karma Chakra.

Very few of us although would implement and observe this truth in our day to day living.

Let us exemplify :-

Suppose a begger comes to you, his condition is miserably poor. He is begging to you for some alms. But instead of giving him anything, you humiliate and make fun of him. He would go away, dejected and saying nothing in return. But the vibrations, given out in cosmos by what he is feeling is that energy which would return back to you sooner or later.

Go back home that day, or next day to office and you would feel humiliated or mocked by a family member, friend, colleague etc.

If this happens, let it happen. But if it doesn’t, Do not feel lucky !!! Because this energy would come back to you many folds later.

Here I do not mean that every begger should be given alms. But if we are not willing to give any help by any reason, do not humiliate any human being.

The same holds good for any thought or action that we do in our daily lives.

For example - Keep polluting mother nature, and she would avenge in form of calamities.

Hence, it is to be well understood that always emit positive energy in the cosmos. Whatever you emit (sow), is what is returned to you by the cosmos (reap) ; manifolds.


Thus before any act that we do, just think rationally once that “ Am I harming anybody or anything in any form, by doing this ?”.

Initially, it would take some time. But soon it would become a habit.

Today’s generation aspires to be successful leaders, managers, entrepreneurs. Giving a myopic view, each one of us can make it to that level sooner or later. But for a long term, ever-lasting Success and that Eternal Bliss, we need to follow this success Mantra. After all, life has a deeper meaning to itself, much away from mundane things.

Hence emit positive energy, happiness, optimism around. Help everyone that comes your way. On the ladder to success, on every rung, be ethical, honest and just. And notice that Success shall come to you manifolds.

Going Green !!!!

Can we put a pause to the development around?
The non-stop, evergoing eagerness of humans to evolve, to develope, to invent;
The innovations around, the technology;
Can we put a pause to them for a while??
The once upon a time creepers in my garden, have been replaced by the broadband wires.
The unseen waves created by the devotional music,
and the aroma of sandal and camphor have been replaced by the wifi, mobile waves.
(Alas! The only difference being these waves increase my blood pressure a bit and decrease my life span by large.)
They keep me so engaged that I am connected to my new God - ' The G**gle Bhagwan'
and have lost my connection with the older version.
The metro tracks, bridges, the infrastructure have made my country develope;
have made the commuters travel fast;
but have only transformed the Gre'en' Revolution to the Gre'y' ( The Gen 'Y')
Can we stop this rat race for a while?
Can the present day industrialist pause his factory production for a while?
Can he stop walking for a while?
(Because only then his footprints would be less - the Carbon footprints !)
Can the relations be relived again?
Can the 'Nuclear Attack' be prevented?
(It means the families going Nuclear)
Do we realize that this 'Nuclear Attack' is even more dangerous for the generations to come!!
Why have the festivals lost their charm??
Why has the sole nature of human existence differed?
Why is it that man has become a beast today, in the prevailing cut throat competitive world?
Nobody cares about anything else when it comes to money!! WHY ????????
I know not.
.........................
Probably, the answer is -
may be the 'Barter' needs to be relived....
A Barter system wherein we shall not trade carbon credits,
But trade our credits, truth, empathy and deeds of kindness.
May be, then this planet would be a better place to live in;
where humans, animals and nature can co-exist in harmony.
Yes,
probably the correct answer is in form of this new question -
We need not go Green !!!!!
CAN WE GO RED ????
Can we go 'redder' at our hearts and deepen this color of love, affection and harmony - towards the whole existence alike ?
