Die empty

Don’t wait, fulfill all desires, is a message that most authors influenced by the Western materialistic thinking will convey, either through a story or through a self improvement book…

Whilst most authors influenced by Eastern Philosophical thought would say desires are the very cause of your suffering…

Both seem to be right in their own ways but who do you follow?

Desires, by their very nature, are endless loops. You fulfill one and another replaces it, perhaps the same one with greater intensity. You then are a monkey in the desire fulfillment circus and you think that life is meant to fulfill desires and nothing could be far from truth. You are not born to fulfill desires, you are born because you have desires…

Liberation is not achieved through accumulating (whether material things or experiences) since you are dependent on the object being accumulated. Liberation is achieved through letting go and being independent… So the key to dying empty is not to keep chasing desires but to rise above them through meditation and experiencing the essence of “this too shall pass”…

Hum Ko Man Ki Shakti Dena

Peter Drucker said – You can’t manage what you don’t measure, but what measures/parameters do you use for the most important things in life that ultimately matter most – love, happiness, friendship, trust, confidence…? 

What you achieved or not in measurable things in the previous year/s doesn’t matter, begin the new year with the right parameters to act upon and make the remainder of your life beautiful. How? You don’t need complicated, difficult to understand Mantra’s/philosophies, this prayer written by Gulzar is simple to understand and yet provides very powerful direction

hum ko manaki shakti denaa, mana vijaya karedusaroki jaya se pahale, khudak​o jaya kare
hum ko manaki shakti denaa

bheda-bhaava apane dilase, saaf kara sake
dusarose bhul ho to, maaf kara sake
jhutha se bache rahe, sachakaa dama bhare
dusaroki jayase pahale, khudak​o jaya kare
hum ko manaki shakti denaa

mushkile pade to hamape, itanaa karma kara
saatha de to dharm kaa, chale to dharm para
khudape hausalaa rahe, ​badi se na dare
dusaroki jayase pahale, khudak​o jaya kare
hum ko manaki shakti denaa

Another new year dawns soon, whether to make it happy or not by looking at & doing the right things, is upto you…
