A fresh liquid, the damaged colander and the yield

Image
A freshly prepared lime solution contains pulp and some other drags. This solution is turbid. To make it into a clear supernatant liquid it needs to be strained. Now if the strainer is chocked the liquid will not pass through the strainer. If the strainer is old and its pore sizes have grown bigger due to wear and tear, then pulps and drags also will pass through it. A well-maintained strainer is required to be used to get the best results. Similar is the case with human beings, and professionals. If we keep the same person in the charge of business for decades while all others keep coming, and leaving then any number of fresh ideas will find their place in the dust bins. Colander and business heads need to give ways to better ones.

3 equations, 3 results, and 3 platforms

Image
(a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b², and (a + b)² ≠ a² + 2ab. Results are the outcome of the application of equations. Thus, it is said in the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita – Do the deed, the result will follow. There are basic rules of life. 1.     If you want to be rich, do deeds as others would like the result of your work. You work to satisfy others = you become rich                 ... ... eqn (1) 2.     If you want to be happy, do what you feel good to do. You work for your passion = you become happy              ... ... eqn (2) 3.     If you want to be blissful, work and deliver results gratis to others. You work to deliver results gratis = you become blissful          ... ... eqn (3) Irrespective of the fields of applications, results obtained from deeds are mutually exclusives, and independent. Becoming rich , happy , or blissful are three different platforms. You cannot have all the three with one mindset. Trying to be in all three platforms is the cause of un

We have read in the general science classes that every action has got an equal and opposite action. Thus performing an act ordered by an evil supervisor and then trying to take shelter that I am doing my work without expecting a result (fruit) is erroneous thought.

Shrubbery of the magnificent nine: my book in Amazon

Image
The following paragraphs are parts of the summary of the contents in my book titled  "Shrubbery of the magnificent nine"  Learn to acknowledge and honor the performers. Give credit where it is due.    The first article titled “too early into the oblivion” is inspired by real-life experiences related to the golden principle - Learn to acknowledge and honor the performers. Give credit where it is due.    The abysmal mindsets of selfish people downgrade cultures where they dwell. To be in position and power some people limit growths of desirable others. In the name of a good diet, humans kill innocent animals. After doing heinous acts the same humans visit places of worship and pray to God for happiness. These ironies have been described in the second article titled “Dealers of death and their journeys to Heaven”. The author does not believe that the dealer of deaths can never find the path to heaven.    Human lives are divided into four differen

Low entropy - High stability

Low entropy - High stability Dr. Manoj Kumar Patel Sri Krishna, as we all know from the pages of history, advised both Dhritarashtra and his court with the same emphasis to return the Indraprastha to Yudhisthira. The reason to mediate between the Kauravas and Pandavas was  to restore peace  on the earth. He knew that a war would not only destroy properties extensively but also eliminate precious human lives. He had well visualized that while super-warriors Arjuna, Karna, Aswatthama, Duryodhana and Bhima will fight a war under the captainship of invincible Bhishma, Kripa, and Drona; the war will devastate the human race beyond repair for eons to come. Many innocent civilians will get killed. The fighting countries will be bereft of youth mails and will be full of children and widows of the warriors that will die in fighting the war. It was unfortunate that the war of the Mahabharata took place, and the results were heart wrenching and devastating. It is common for spi

I bow to my Teacher: The Guru Poornima

Image
I bow to my Teacher Guru Poornima Guru is the Hindi word for the Teacher. In Hindi Guru is a combination of two Sanskrit words, namely, the  gu  and the  ru  that verbatim translates into the English words  ignorance  and  destroyer , respectively. So guru is the one who destroys ignorance from the minds of his  sishyas  ( शिष्य)   or students. The full moon day of the month of  Asadha  is the birthday of the great sage Vyasadeva. He is the author of the   Mahabharata , the  Shrimad Bhagavad Gita , and  Astadasha  (Eighteen)  Puranas .  The Mahabharata  itself has been written in 100,000  slokas  and is the most voluminous book in the world. This day is known as the  Vyasa Poornima , the Guru Poornima, and  Asadha Poornima .  On the auspicious day of the  Guru Poornima , we need to take shelter under the noble souls. गुरु पूर्णिमा Guru Brahma Guru Vishnu Guru Deva Maheswara Guru Sakshat Param Brahma Tasmai Shree Gurave Namah गुरुर्ब्रह्मा ग्
