He is visible as sky
but he is no sky
may be he is a spy
watching all from behind sky, 
tnx for your think

 heritage is carried forward by living the principles and ideals upheld in the passage of history--not by preserving/ glorification /identification/​recognition of physicals made of brick/stone however tall/big they may be -----and attracting the tourists

all physicals will go with time however well-maintained--per​haps with a natural phenomena like seismic shake, etc 

question is whether heritage is live today and what is its influence on the people and country—

---or relegated only to books/library/exhibit​s /statues/photos/muse​ums picking dust and serving white ants---reminiscent of some dead past 

time is fortunately a great leveler and healer 
let the history be buried in the archives of time
let the geography be sunk in the unreachable depths of archaeology 

yes , things have served well in their time, and have to flow down to the oceans of forgetfulness 
let what is relevant to contemporary stay and serve life around 

traditions and heritages should be preserved in living the values, not in book, film, brick and stone 
even Scripture in the form of taal pathra, shila phalaka, manuscripted, printed, or even as a google searchable thing ---is not the thing. not real, it is old, it is backward
scripture cognizable in the consciousness of the human  being in the present times is the thing.
the real thing., it is a live phenomena happening in the present time, in each person depending on the level of the sadhaka, it is as live as the present moment.. it is upward and forward.

a charminar, a tajmahal a fort, a monument , a statue, a tower, a fort can be works of beauty and symbols of glory , what can be their relevance to the more beautiful more glorious present time?

let history better stay written as lesson learnt ---in the form of a better society, more civilized, more kind, more caring, more considerate, more tolerant--with less cruelty, violence, exploitation, greed, terror.

let geography give more space for trees, animals, for agriculture, for life, shifting the priority from non living to living beings

     he changes avathar like he changes dress

his fancy for fancy dress?

likes new designs

tailor made to his signs

not happy with one mathsya, his swimwear?

why he chose koorma, wearing it he is neither fast nor fair

hey varaha your taste is worst , 

better discard this tight fit, outdated outfit 

why do you become angry oh narasimha

don't threaten me, i know you are really not ugra

vaman, the undersized 

why that chatri oversized , 

when water cannot wet you

no use also your parasu, 

it cannot cut grass, it is blunt 

no use being angry, better go and grind it

rama you lack love, you have no likings

a king on the stage, but sita waited in the wings

flute is ok, but kishan you steal butter 

our minds are butter

you are treating us as your cattle, 

and you fight no battle

budh you meditated long but 

did not solve age disease or death

kalki you seem to be useless either 

creating solutions which create more problems

or keeping blind dumb and deaf

better throw all these old rags

go naked, no one laughs

none is there 

you are alone and one

   Hard-work is ---not---- the only option!

smart-work is the only best option!

yoga karma sukaushalam, makes it an easy , effortless skill, 

makes work a bhagavath leela ,playful, 

the wise one does hard work

the wiser one does, least work

the wisest one does no work

god is the wisest, he does nothing, but shirk

be with god , do nothing

accomplish every thing

Workaholick, is alcoholick ,the agnyaani,, not the ideal, laborious

work-holy-ist, is divya chinthan amritha paana maththa chiththa, the gnyaani, is the ideal, glorious

masters must show the better ways thru guru grace, and change our work culture , and render it 

yad yad karma karomi thath thath akhilam 

shambho thava aaraadhanam

thus let it be worship , proving , ''work is worship'' in bhakthi, not drudgery

work is no hardwork, its bliss its just play 

its a delight flow of the chethana shravanthi

   hell or heaven

why go elsewhere , searching for hell or heaven, 

or wait for them to come?

right here you can create, instantly.

snake holds poison, snake bite kills

but siva is naga bhusan, and garalakantha.

why stop at drink

drink poison if you can digest, like siva

sugar is sweet for many

it's a hell for diabetic

if you can drive a bike, you can ride, enjoy

if you cannot, loss of limb or life, no joy

drink is symbolic for negative

for some nothing is negative,

 

even death, they are happy , 

the excitement overrides judgment

they accept life as it comes,

adi sankara drank when some one offered him a drink

a hot melt of a metal with equal nonchalance

.

meditate

it will make you naturally what to take, what to avoid, 

no struggle, no resistance, or trying to avoid

it will make you accept unavoidable negative encounters most easily 

like a trained bike rider negotiates the twists, curves, bumps, traffic, 

yet enjoys a high speed ride reaches safely home,

but he cannot ride a car or plane or rocket just because he can ride bike

there are higher trainings higher sadhanas 

to train in giving the mastery over different aspects of life.

fire on which some walk, 

shiv holds fire in the third eye, 

hanuman when tail was lit , tail did not burn.

shiva and hanuman are deep meditators

   happiness in gruhasth, it's ever a life's mystery

the first of 4 ashrams is the foundation to the great structure of life.

in the first, brahm charya , the individuals, male/female are given the technique of living in the state of brahman, ,which is the true basis of ananda which lasts in the next three states, in bliss overflowing , with life full of achievements in material and spiritual aspects.

   Happiness , Cannot define, 

to be experienced ,

 in short, it's the best of all experiences , 

worthy of pursuit, 

goal of all life, 

happens when one experiences his self , 

the pure awareness

   happiness is ananda------pleasure is sukha

sura ma.ndira taru muula nivaasaH

shayyaa bhuutala majinaM vaasaH .

sarva parigraha bhoga tyaagaH

kasya sukhaM na karoti viraagaH .. (18)

residence in a temple , below a tree, deerskin for the dress, and sleeping on earth ,no attachments,all comforts renounced. Blessed with vairagya could any fail to be happy ?

simple living is happy living

   Happiness 

It's an spontaneous experience, 

not an exposition 

not imposition, 

not induced, 

not dependent, 

not created, 

not given, 

not taken

it's silence enjoying silence within 

abundantly, exuberantly, uninhibited

    happenings are lessons, costly.

for proactive, how i wish good people, who are in majority, take little step forward in social interactions, encourage goodwill and good humor, 

--sense in advance what is cooking, and do some preventive

--like to control possible disease some anti vaccination done, 

---and nip in the bud the negative trends.

i have seen such initiative from a senior executive in a psu, ie shri Rao C Kasarbada, ceo, ECIL,who used to do very casual conversation with the different section employees and union leaders and 

--without their knowing, used to influence the work community with nice mingling, good jokes and helping in their personal problems, and see that by all means the interests of the company are not put to risk 

--and he did prevent imminent strike, not by some counseling / moral teaching, but involving into them as a family, and appearing to sail with them.

but he was  sincere to the core, not seeking anything to himself, not fame, popularity, promotion

--his sincerity was touching., he virtually was a god for us to whom one can turn to receive help and solace, without his level /status inhibiting anyone.

on a larger scale, purely from humanitarian angle, such social initiative  may prevent negative things .

i repeat the intention must be one of just help, with 100% sincerity.

Freely venting suppressed emotions, thru this social informal communication among the community probably will cool the people to natural good behavior.

  

human Body is rented house

 Maintenance is responsibility of the tenant.

   happiness, 

the easiest business

most simple 

most natural,

effortless, spontaneous, 

anandobrahma, instantaneous,

.

meditate ,transcend, 

reach the field of sath chith anand,

no need of any elaboration, 

nor explanation

    How do you recharge yourself?

There Is No Substitute for Hard Work!
It's important to know that words don't move mountains.
Work, exacting work moves mountains.

I agree , exacting work most necessary,
but exhausts , hence the need to recharge, and resume

How do you recharge yourself?

i add a bit of my feel

Activity and rest are the two steps of progress
deeper the rest more dynamic will be the activity

human recharge themselves in so many gross and subtle ways
external inputs, sun rays, fresh air, pure food-----gross,
beautiful sights, fragrant smell,-----subtle
noble thoughts, satsang,-----subtler
prayer, pooja, sumiran-----subtlest
dhyan, samadhi-----beyond the subtlest
reaching the very source of energy ,intelligence, bliss ,
ie source ie sath chith ananda

Also adding some random / raw thoughts

sleep, rest, relaxation,
delightful, noncommercial hobbies, divine dance,
divine music listening / singing

learning the skill of doing things without becoming exhausted

acting intelligently without wrong moves, doing the energy conservation,
minimizing wastage of energy in frivolous pursuits,

not to scatter or fritter away attention on unworthy lures
closing the eyes now and then, being in silence for a while,

Recharge happens naturally, we to allow it to happen, also can be accelerated , it is possible for a human being , if known how to do

tree can grow naturally, but if gardener attends it with water , it grows faster
tree takes sun rays, manures, minerals, nutrients , air, but roots need to be watered , if roots grow dry, availability of all other supplements remain unused, and tree remains without much growth

   honest may vie, try, cry or die, 

they cannot compete with a thief sly 

Set a thief to catch a thief. 

The best person to catch a thief is another thief, 

he knows how thieves think 

can catch within a wink.

   heart is mischievous,

Cares less, flows regardless

inebriated with divine love, 

not caring rhyme or rhythm, 

text or context, 

come what may the action or reaction

      He just lives

he will not calculate

what ever he does, it results in all good to all the universe

he will not have any attitude to others 

he is just a child , in all acceptance, 

in mother's hand feeling ultimate joy, security , 

love self sufficiency, 

not particularly trying to be favoring a few selected.

you may not relish my parroting sankara 

but he confirms this experience

---yad yad karmakaromi thath thath akhilam 

shambho thava aaraadhanam

this is a blessed state every one must aim to get earliest in life, 

to just send waves of bliss in the environ around in the experience of oneness with the brahma and brahmand

   Half cooked understanding delivers 

half baked surplus 

in blogs deluxe 

nothing to wane and wax

read laugh and relax

  Hanuman Stuti

Goshpadi kruta vaareesham masaki kruta rakshasam

ramayana maha mala ratnam vande anilatmajam

I pray to him who is born to the God of wind.

Who made the king of lakes look like the hoof of a cow,

Who made the great Rakshasas look like simple mosquitoes,

And who I pray to him who is born to the God of wind.

is the great jewel in the great garland of the story of Rama
