भक्ति और आसक्ति

यह कहा जाता है के राम भक्त हनुमान जी को अपने बल और क्षमता का ज्ञान नहीं था। मगर क्या यही नहीं होना चाहिए था? अगर तूणीर में रखे बाण को यह ज्ञान हो के वह कितना घातक है, तो क्या वह यूँ ही पड़े इंतज़ार कर पायेगा के कब तूणीर धारी को आवश्यकता पड़ेगी और बाण का प्रयोग होगा। भक्ति और आसक्ति का क्या यही सच्ची परिभाषा नहीं है, के भक्त बिना किसी अहँक के प्रभु के चरणों में पड़ा रहे।  प्रभु को तुम्हारी क्षमताओं का तुमसे ज़्यादा ज्ञान है, उन सही स्थान और समय का पता है, जब तुम्हारे बलों कि आवश्यकता होगी। परमभक्त हनुमान जी का जीवन हमें भक्ति और आसक्ति का परम ज्ञान देती है। तुम्हे कितना भी लगे के तुम्हे ज्ञान है अपनी ताकतों का, पर ऐसा नहीं है।  प्रभु ही है जिन्हे तुम्हारी असल सफर और उससे बटोरे क्षमताओं का सम्पूर्ण ज्ञान है।  तथा आपकी प्रभु पर आसक्ति ही आपके सुख का सही मार्ग है।

Khaakh yeh guman

Dhul mein mile khaakh mein

Dariya mein mile raakh mein

Kya dhoondh paoge mujhe?

Na he mai khud ko samet paunga

Ek din aise he sabko khona hai

Fir aaj kiska rona hai

Kya samet rahe ho tum

Jo le jaoge 

Inderjaal ke saikro mein do panktiya

Kala (art) ke dher mein chitrakariya

Kya dhoondh paoge?

Kala ka koi hafan nahi

Sirf hai dista dista

Jab tak tum ho, tab tak ka rishta

Zindagi mein zindagi pe

Marham youn karo koi

Ke yaad ke samundar mein

Moti jaise pade ho kahin 

Dhoond shayad fir bhi na payega koi

Par dhoondhne ki koshish bani rahe

Intni si zindagi mein

Bas itna he kar lije 

Muskurahat ki wajah na ban sako 

Magar, askho ke Karan bhi,

tum na ho kahi

Complex Human Being

 Experience of past and anxieties of future governs your behaviour. We all know the behaviour drives your present. We always say that situations are happening and things are occurring to you but actually it is you who is driving what is happening. Things are way deeper than these experiences and anxieties, in your subconscious you actually play all the occurrences happening to you. Like a movie it plays in your head and then it happens in reality. These plays are governed by thoughts, which in turn is influenced by the experiences of past and anxieties of future. Deep rooted beneath these thoughts are tendencies. Tendencies are driven by the experiences through results of what you have done in past and the feelings derived from the results very slowly and gradually transforms these tendencies. Thus tendencies are far older than your age. If you do not believe in reincarnations you would not deny DNA, tendencies are passed on from generation to generation through DNA. The tendencies translates into your anatomy and then the secretions are based on anatomy and thus governs the behaviour. This is what we commonly understand as karmic cycles. But this is not the end of everything, deeper than the tendencies are the vibration. There is a certain vibration at your tiny particle soul level and the vibration is so strong it grows into frequencies and modulate in every cell of your body and even grow outside your body. These vibrations are deep rooted not only the karmic and DNA cycle but even the ecosystem of millions of years. The particles which made you and the five elements affects your frequency. Beyond five elements is time which is crucial part of your vibration. Thus a human is known as a complex being. 

Now why I am writing this and sharing the wisdom, to help you all to understand the depth of what is happening around you. It is easier being said that stay in present but then how when mind is full of feelings governed by past and future. Even if I have trained myself to exist without feelings of past and future still I am not liberated from pain and disparity. Even if I am good in visualising still after some time I fall back. Even I am controlling my thought it would be lot a better life occurrence but may not be perfect. Important is to set the tendencies by repeated good karma by controlled thinking and the perfection is achieved by cleansing the vibrations. This is not easy but practise and conscious living is what helps you lead there.

Lengthy to read and complex to understand. Not an easy task to comprehend or share everything, even books are not enough and this can only be felt.

पहचान

 पहचान 

रहता हूँ भीड़ में, तन्हाई दिल में लिए

आया था अकेला मैं, जाऊंगा खाख हाथ में लिए 

सुबह की रौशनी में, गीत गुनगुनाता हु 

रात के अँधेरे में, अपने साये से भी अनजाना हु 

यूं तो ज़िन्दगी में, सब कुछ हासिल है 

कुछ है नहीं मगर इस महफ़िल में 

चेहरे में हसी लिए, जज़्बात दफनाता हु 

लोगो को आस पास खुश देख ही लुफ्त पाता हु 

रहना तो मई भी चाहता हु बंजारों सा 

घूम घूम बिन किनारे नदी के धारो सा 

यादों में बसना चाहता हु ईश्वर की कला 

चाहता हूँ रब की रचनाओं से रूबरू होना 

ज़िन्दगी तो जीनी है अपनों के साथ 

पथ्थरो के राह पे तो चलना है अकेला 

सपनो को पूरा हम भी करेंगे 

बस बटे हुए है अपनों और अपने के दरमियान…

Happy Holi Om Namah Shivay!!!

Last year two days back was holi, this is the time when few cases of corona in India was spotted. It was keral few months back but then in March it was more instances across more states in India. Prime minister urged people not to play holi. Today after an year when the disease is widespread, vaccination is in progress, people are thinking on what would be and should be our stand on Holi this year. It would be more of self governance and wisdom which will guide us this year. Each individual would be empowered to take decisions. Some of the organized society and states might come up with Norms but would it stop the people coming out with colors and water? Today on MahaShivaratri I pray for abundant wisdom, pray for courage and pray to stay greatful. The journey of success starts from being greatful, until you are greatful for the half of bread you have in hand to probably not even a quarter of your appetite, god will not find motive to give you more. The cook will not recieve the positive energy to feed you with positivity and there you get into the cycle of complain and not having. On the other side, a greatful person attracts the abundance attracts the positivity and to have more. The other strength which god has given to each human is hope and that is why we are even thinking about festival of color. Having hope is great, but with greatfulness you need the wisdom to take correct decisions. Human life is based on choices, just a second before I had a choise to hit post or not. Fighting with inhibitions of being judged, being trolled, being praised, being ignored... all needs a courage to take right decision, make right choise and follow your heart. A right decision would be harmless to society, yourself and your loved ones. A right decision can be wrong to someone but would have a good intent and a long term benefit. Standup with courage, have wisdom to take right decision, have love, generousity, and be greatful!!! Think shall we laugh on covid playing holi and hugging each other or shall we sacrifice one more year and have the faith on health workers and system to fight with it.

A small story of Bicycle

 My love with Bicycle started in 1990-91 when I was in grade 4 or 5. Those days we used to get Bicycles on rent, Rs2/- per hour. My dad used to take me out. He used to hold the cycle career from back, while I used to paddle. Dad used to say don’t worry, I am holding it keep paddling. One day I realized while paddling Dad’s voice getting thinner and he is still saying keep paddling don’t worry I am holding it. With corner or my eyes I saw he is far and standing and I am on my own paddling. That is the day I learned cycling. Years later he coached me riding scooter and then car... different story some other time. 

 

We could not buy a cycle then. Couple of years later I was in grade 8 or 9, one of my class mate Jai Prakash, he used to commute to school by cycle. A red one junior size. One day, he urged to sell his cycle. I was excited to get a second hand cycle opportunity, I discussed with my parents and my mom agreed, it was negotiated at Rs300/- for a deal. I started traveling the 1km distance from my home to school in that. Few weekend rounds in my colony. However, I kept chewing, champ chewing gum and kept collecting wrappers for a BSA SLR, I could not win ever.

Class 10 exam results came in 1995. As promised my dad and I went to Hero Jet showroom, I wanted a Hero Ranger, red one, however that was Rs1600/- and a middle class always negotiate the value for money and I settled down with a Hero Jet a black one at Rs1100/-. Junior cycle was already sold to third party by this time. This black hero jet became hero of my life. We used to bring it to our room at night, keeping it downstairs would mean you will not see it next morning. My brother used to keep rotating the paddle by hand, I used to apply game, while the Jet standing on its main stand. Jet and I used to go to bring my brother from school. My brother used to sit on the rod between seat and handle. I remember one day, I asked my brother to hold the handle while I paddle. And in few seconds we were down on road. Class 11, I took maths coaching, Universal tuition center, I met my best friend Shishir there. Shishir, Jet and I became the next best trio, from tuition centre to his home, our weekend rides to nearby café to have some choley tikki etc. We took some long ride too, Dwarka, Najafgadh, Kakrola, Ramapark, Subhash nagar, for different motivations. Adolescence kicked in and you start trying new stunts, cycling while standing, cycling without holding handles, cycling by not holding handles and not paddling, balancing with lowest possible speed. Hero Jet and I did lot of such things. I was in collage first year, 1998, when as usual, I went to Shishir’s home, locked my cycle, we both went to bus stand, went to college, when we came back, we did not find the Cycle. That day we were real upset, losing the Jet. Life took different turns, collage, then MBA, so the need of cycle was kind of blurred out, scooter, bike and then car. Time flew, 10years later, I started feeling the love for cycle once again, this was not a need driven, just a desire that I should have one. Couple of years more, in 2013 or so, I used to see my friends in Delhi has started a kind of cycle routine over weekend, and they used to go in early morning, few km’s and then sit together to have tea, chit chat and come back. I got motivated, here in Hyderabad, I tried forming such group, but never martialize. Passion, Love, Need when everything is high, then only you meet a goal.

 

Need found its definition, a work out regime, the love started rising through nostalgia, passion I yet to form. My son’s cycle is staying at home, hardly he rides a Km or so, because, he makes me run along, and I am not a runner. Today, when in evening me and my son went out with our cycle, we took 4Km round.

 

This year beginning, I completed 40, and my brother in law, more like a brother, a friend, he knew I plan to buy a cycle, he sent me the money to gift one. I was supposed to get that in March, but we know we were locked down. After unlock, I was not going out much, but then today, I finally made a plan to visit Decathlon. Thank you Amaresh joining me for shopping, you only know how much we have discussed about cycle trip 6yrs back.

 

Exploring AP - Nagarjuna - Suryalanka - Vijaywada

Its been a long time that I have shared my experience of being ghumakkar with you all. Indeed, it was been a long pause to my passion to explore mother earth on a driving wheel. After the mesmerizing experience of Himachal, Leh and other places in north, three years back I settled down in Hyderabad with a motive to explore south. Well, given all odds, finally, this may I could revive my Driving spree. With a small overnight camping in ananthgiri hills just 70km away from my home, I could break free to re-start. This time back again with a 900km in 36hrs of experience exploring south.Read more
