The Existence Of God

 
The existence of GOD is a question which has bothered me since birth. I am sure it must have bothered many of you as well. But, why is it that we can't find or grasp him ? He eludes us. Actually, to find or grasp anything "one has to first become a seeker". Just like knowledge comes to those who seek it, help comes to those who want it, success comes to those who crave for it, similarly, GOD and his conception comes to those who simply seek it. It is immaterial to think about his gender, his shape or form as if one is truly concerned about seeking a goal, the properties of the goal should not be a concern, as, if that becomes the concern one takes a step away from the goal. It is as simple as that. One must look within and discover oneself, as it is we who seek GOD.
 
 
In other words, if we are the ones who are seeking GOD with all our limitations and "unlimitations", then it is within us that GOD should reside. It is nothing but the good qualities within us that is GOD, as these qualities cannot be created by any mysterious combination of atoms, molecules or whatever. When we are born, we tend to believe our senses, but if these very senses are used to conceive GOD, it does not make any sense. Think about it !
 
 
As we grow in life, our knowledge grows in quantity and quality, but it is our "unw
isdom" born out of evil qualities of anger, lust, greed, attachment, jealousy and narcissism (for lack of a better word) that prevents us to base our thinking on the ancient traditions, sayings, teachings and sermons of great men that have shown us the path of righteousness. I, coming from the most ancient of these traditions, call it "dharma" passed down to us from generation to generation from the "vedas", while other religions have decided to follow other great men to know the path leading to GOD.
 
 
If there is a will to seek GOD, then there cannot be any ill-feeling among religions as they are like rivers leading to the same vast ocean being called by different names. To conclude, there is no way one can conceive life without conceiving GOD and vice versa, and as living beings GOD and we are one and there has to be GOD as there has to be a symmetry below and above!

Value of Values in Businesses

I used to think that businesses are there only to make money, to keep the balancesheet healthy and the profit margin and revenue intact. But, if that were to be the case then there remains no discernible difference between a shop and a business. And, if one runs a business keeping only the trinity of balancesheet, income statement and cash flow statement in mind, it is bound to degenerate into a shop sooner than later. Let us dig further.   A shopkeeper remains a shopkeeper all his life because of his narrow-mindedness. He does not think beyond his immediate or near-future transactions; he thrives on instant gratification, and thinks everything in terms of costs and profits, not in terms of investments and growth. Such a quantitative thinking never allows him to ever grow his shop into a big business, say a retail chain.   A rich businessman, on the other hand, is wiser and smarter. He knows that true riches comes from the richness of thought, and that what is so...

The Rich and The Poor

Image
Poverty and inequality has been bugging India for a long time. Still, the poor remains poor and the rich are getting richer by the day. In my opinion, there is a basic flaw in our thinking.   It is a flawed concept to base our thinking of poverty and inequality in materialistic terms. A person living in the village with good air to breathe in the lap of nature with a sound relationship with other villagers is much happier with his life than a person working in an MNC who has to face the daily traffic jams, the polluted air and the monotonous life at the office. Maybe that is why many people want to retire and go to live in a natural place. Even though the latter is earning much more he may not be as happy and content as the former.   Indian government is focused on doubling the incomes, rather it should focus on providing quality life and a life of happiness to all the people. Money can't buy happiness. However hard it may try, monetarily, there will always be 3 ...
