Pranam
1 Getting employed as we wish may not fructify in 8 out of 10 cases.
Karma and Suryan & Bhudan must be stronger for competitive and entry into
Govt. Our job is to act and once we step in somewhere, concentrate in that
work, whatever be the job; all that one reads from 5th year to 25 years
will never go a waste; similarly, all the work one is deployed in from 25
to 65 (may be more also) cannot be termed as a waste or BORE. Where the
mind is focussed, what6ever be the job, the outlook and the zeal would
expand the horizon, to take one in the ladders. END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS IF
YOU WERE AN ANT. IN MAJORITY, MEANS JUSTIFIES THE END AND DO SUGFFER. This
would apply to all careers including the marriage and child rearing. THEER
IS NOTHING GREATER IN DOING THE JOB WHICH YOU LIKE; THE GREATNESS LIE IN
LIKING THE JOB YOU DO.
2 There is a say, KOONTHAL ULLAVA ALLI MUDIKKIURA; one who has hair
can make any kind of shades of hair. Investments again depends on Karma,
Guru, Sukran Raghu, Sani positions; many in majority die without any
holdings; that is why those who are blessed with the property and other
wealth, must thank HIM/HER as a blessed child. Therefore, buying in Milan
or Bandra, or New York etc is a question fixed already. Similarly, how long
it shall stay with you is also pre-determined. ONE THING IS CERTAIN.
Investments in multiplexes manner is happier when one is young; as age pass
by with the loads of fulfilment, maintenance and keeping watch over, is a
tough job. Where the apple cart is upset, the rigour is more. And selling
it back for a reasonable price is the toughest. At an old age currency
investment alone gives greater happiness. Investments are like river water
where something is seen running like a river on the horizon approaching
every one in the river; touching them makes one feel that water is yours;
passes to the opposite side; and the water disappears from the vision;
water is common; ownership is temporary; nish kamya karma is good enjoyment
with or without the River apa.
3 QUIXOTIC answers on RESERVATION. Reservation itself against the
Ambedkar words, is political encashment of votes, inciting the tribes as if
they are given the sweet-pie. But it virtually reaches 90% only the
affluent read with the caste, violating the PRINCIPLE OF THE RESERVATION.
Instead of the reservations, the Govt can build institutions in proportion
to the students, choosing the crowds, around the geographical locations, so
that anyone who wishes to study may do so as they choose to be.
Reservations give a MAYA as if it is benefitted so many but ultimately,
those beneficiaries are asking for the next claim free, since END OF
RESERVATION IS MORE RESERVATION WHICH POLITICIAN CANNOT COMPROMISE, TO
SAFEGUARD THEIR INTERESTS. HOW MANY NON-BRAHMIN TENANTS EVR HAD?
5 Air fills the empty space; empty space is filled by food; food
displaced the air; and the apana vayu does not function and is caught in
the body-web, biological inflictions are so many. Vayu can kill
biologically.
6 Another similar term question was raised where ARATHI was mentioned a
couple of days ago; but to day it lamp around the heads means
SUTHIPPODUTHAL”; DRISHTI KAZHITHAL; PREVENTION OF BAD EFFECTS TO PERSONS
BY CASTING-EYE-ENVY. In Tamil there is a proverb “KALLADI PATTALUM
KANNADI PADAKUDATHU”, which means throwing stone attack harms the body
but evil eye causes severe worse damage to growth. Kannadi
padakudathumeans evil eye should not fall on us. This evil eye
is called as Drishti. Some people are of the opinion that this
Drishtiis generally a “Superstitious” phenomenon. At the same time
many people are of the opinion that Drishti will bring severe
damage, so that we have to do Drishti pariharam to avoid bad eye
vision. Even in Hindi it is called as “Nazar” and say “Nazar laga” when
they feel they got an evil eye on them. The babies below5–6 years of age
are protected from“Drishti” with great care by mothers. Mothers place a
small black dot on the child's both cheeks to drive away this “Evil eye” or
“drishti” or “Nazar". This perception is not limited to Telugu or Tamil
people, but it is present all over India in general. People assume that
this Drishti creates a variety of problems such as depression,
unclear thinking or malfunction of an organ which lead to even
further difficulties such as addiction, financial problems, or chest
pain. It is believed that the targets are usually people who
entertain negative personality traits such as anger, hatred,
jealousy, lust, greed etc. It is believed that when people are
jealous at our growth in life, at our prosperity, our good
looks, they do not have to physically abuse us or make us
realize their enmity outwardly, but their subconscious mind gives
negative radiation towards us and spoils our growth.
“Drishti” plays a major role in the Kurukshetra war. In the
Kurukshetra war,by Sanjaya’s Divya-Drishti, Dhritarashtra Came to know
from Sanjaya that the Kaurava Army was the largest army when compared
with the Pandava’s army. Also, the Kauravas Commander-in-chiefs were
very brave and unbeatable commanders. The initial war strategy and
military formation of Kauravas were extremely good. These things
made Dhritarashtra felt very proud of his son’s army and this excess of
love and pride damaged the growth of his children. The love and
pride of Dhritarashtra made a parental “Drishti”to Kauravas which caused
severe damages and at least they were defeated and all his sons including
Duryodhana were killed. And even on the close of the war, Gandhari , though
blind folded, had such a powerful Drishti, she wanted to use all her
drishti-power of chaste, to hug Bheema and revenge for the death of her
eldest son; but spoiled by the act of Krishna. Drishti is so powerful to
cause ill will.
7 IS THAT A CULTURE SHOCK TO PLANT AC AND POSSES MORE TWO WHEELERS?
Maybe she would have entered Chennai half-clad, which is culture shock for
the chennaites.
