COOL STUFF TO BUY IN 2019

COOL STUFF TO BUY IN 2019

COOL STUFF TO BUY IN 2019 ( AND THEREAFTER ALSO )

sararasar vivek ie power of discretion

My answer will not be -

• Books etc
• New mobile phone -latest model
• New laptop
• New stylish outfits, track suit,yoga mat etc
• Designer outfits
• Formal n casuals
• Facials etc
• Ayurvedic Pancha karma treatment

Well,the list can be extended more.

What I mean to say is that we must see the above things as means to gain happiness. And that feeling of projecting oneself to be a modern fellow who lives according to the modern times.

But I prefer to look beyond and above the normal view. And try to seek more significant insight in day today affairs.

As I said in the beginning, we anticipate happiness using the above things.

But feeling happiness is not enough for us,we look ways for expressing it and further sharing it with others.

And we may not be aware,but the ultimate aim is the serenity of the mind and fulfillment in life.

And then we go on investing our time,money and energy in planning what to buy (definitely) in certain period in near future.

There are alternatives to the above,yes.

For this we have to identify the superfluous things to be avoided and recognize the things of real significance to seize in life. And make efforts to buy it.

A rational approach suggests us to buy happiness,serenity of mind leading to fulfillment.

The term buy indicates the input of time,money and energy available with every one.

Dependence on the mother nature negates spending money. For example, witnessing a sunrise in the morning gives happiness,feeling of getting inspired, and serenity.

COOL STUFF TO BUY IN 2019 -BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE !

Looking at beautiful flowers, a beautiful tree immediately brings about healthy change in our mind.

COOL STUFF TO BUY IN 2019 -BEAUTIFUL ROZE !

COOL STUFF TO BUY IN 2019- BEAUTIFUL TREE !

The essential input is that of time and physical energy, and of course strong will power to do so !

The feeling of happiness,joy,inspiration is incomparable.

And further when we can express these feelings and share it with others it leads to the path of achieving fulfillment in life. That is what , in fact I am feeling now.

And most importantly,the process can be followed through our entire life !

Man's Quest for Happiness

Seeking Happiness - Man's Quest for Happiness

Seeking Happiness

Man is in next stage of evolution compared to animals which are controlled by four instincts- aahar, nidra,bhaya, and maithuna ie food,sleep,survival and procreation.

Man is one step ahead in that he seeks happiness. The meaning and significance of happiness for every individual varies.

For example one may get happiness indulging in non-veg food. Another may seek happiness in veg food. The right one is obvious!

Our sarasar vivek ie power of discretion indicates that seeking happiness not at the cost of happiness of others is necessary.

And seeking happiness is natural instinct in human being.

Seeking Happiness

Generally one is unaware whether the happiness he is seeking is worth or not.

Next problem is one generally seeks happiness originating from external factors in the world. And realizes that those factors are not in his control and permanent one. This realization leads to frustration, disappointment and depression.

In fact,happiness is within us. Let us not forget, being happy is more important than becoming happy involving unnecessary efforts and needless hard work.

But being unaware one goes on trying to seek happiness from the world around.

In the process one realizes that such happiness is momentary. Consequently one looks for next kind of happiness. And this process is a continuous one. And we wonder why one constantly runs towards happiness putting in all possible efforts.

And we must not ignore the fact that we must discover happiness in small small things in life we can experience but unfortunately we ignore the same.  For example, seeing sunrise, sunset, observing kids, flowers and so on.

We can find a number of such small small things in life wherein we discover happiness.

Seeking Happiness

Next point is while craving for happiness of different types,one is not able to set out priorities.

Also, one often fails to understand the significance of type of happiness one is seeking. Whether it is healthy,positive,achieved in a non-violence means and so on.

And having achieved happiness is not enough as one also wants to share it.

I think all this complexity can be avoided if one is aware of -

• meaning and significance of supreme values of life -freedom,peace,love, compassion.
• meaning and significance of polarities in values like truth and untruth, ethical and unethical, healthy and unhealthy, violence and non-violence, moral and amoral and so on.
• having understood the above,one should make right choices while making decisions
• necessity to develop preparedness to accept the consequences of one's own decision making.

Having implemented the above,one will not constantly run after happiness but applying sarasar vivek achieve good,healthy,positive happiness towards transformation in life.

Books That Will Change Your Life For The Better

Books That Will Change Your Life For The Better

And You Will Definitely Read

As my dear readers know well, One's downfall in the life can be avoided by Sarasar Vivek i.e. power of discretion.  

For this, quality reading is essential  to strengthen  Sarasar Vivek i.e. power of discretion.

In this context, I am eager to introduce my dear readers with the books that will change our life for the better.

Of these, the first two books I have read  in the recent past and felt that I must keep posted my readers of the same.

1. Inner Engineering- A Yogi's Guide to Joy by Sadhguru

Around the time when I decided to retire voluntarily, certain queries were rising in my mind - like Who I Am ?, What is relation between mind and body and their interdependence, why it is essential to maintain balance and rhythm between them ? What is energy field ?  How it can effect us ? What is spirituality?

Post retirement I had enough time to devote to my passionate hobby of quality reading.  In that period, my son present the above book by Sadhguru which I eagerly read and got familiar with the transformational concept of Inner Engineering.

This is the powerful practice that enables the reader to synchronize mind and body with energies around and within towards infinite power and the possibilities.

Part Two of this book is significant which contains insightful revelation on Body, Mind, and Energy. The last chapter Joy is really meaningful.

Even a light and casual reading of this book will change one's life for the better.
    

2.   Dying to be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing

Last month only I read Marathi translation of this book.  The books is about the author's own experience of her self-realization, her near death experience leading her to a significant insight, her ability to effectively interpret her interaction with the power within and foresee effective cure from cancer, and most important, her identifying the real cause of cancer.

The author, shares her life spectrum right from her birth to her near death experience and back to normal life and the significant changes that she experienced in her post recovery life. All these are really pearls of wisdom related to suffering from cancer, illness, existence of fear in mind, pure love and its tremendous power, and the humanity.  And I am sure an  avid reader would not like to miss.


3.  What if This Is Heaven? How Our Cultural Myths Prevent Us From Experiencing Heaven On Earth.   


The Author, Anita Moorjani, after her near death experience as shared in her book Dying to Be Me, shares her insight on truth that is beyond and above awareness of the common people. While dwelling upon the conditioning one is subjected to right from childhood for generations together, and which are assimilated as truth without any inquiry, the author  here emphasizes the importance of analyzing this mind conditioning on the way to self realization, and how our cultural myths prevent us from experiencing heaven here itself.  And to substantiate the same the author here shares  her own experiences in life that lead to revelation of the need to understand the real crux of such upbringing in life.

I have not read this book.  But after reading the brief introduction of the book, being eager to read, this book is on my list to read in 2019.
