God is not a matter of understanding, it is a matter of experience

-


We are always inspired by people around us. I am grateful to the people around me. I have been created what I am today, by their inspiration. But we find only few who are inspiring character and role model for many life’s.

 I have few role models in my life, which I want personally to meet. One among them was Dr APJ Kalam.

Two years ago, he had come to Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore to deliver lecture. Where I thought I can see him closely. But entry was restricted to the IISc. Even though I tried to use the influence it was difficult to get inside.

Thought releasing is my wish, fulfilling is God’s responsibility…Power of a dream makes difference. “When the dream is powerful, the entire existence rearranges itself so that the dream can become reality”.

I have read, as small boy, looking at the seagull during fishing with his father , he has dream to fly like seagull, and his dream was powerful, DR APJ Kalam could see it reality in his life.

May be power of my dream, the existence was rearranged itself, that, the appointment with my role model was fixed. And I had a meeting with him personal.

It was a life time experience to meet him and experience his presence in front of my eyes.

Meeting was fixed in No 10, Rajaji marg, New delhi, at about 8.30PM.  I have reached the place by 7.45PM. Entered the huge Government bungalow with lot of security inside. There were few other people were waiting to meet him. My turn came and I entered, He was so simple and stood up to welcome me to his chamber to a chair in front of his chair. Truly he is “simple living and high thinking” He is one of the very few shining stars in the darkness that has engulfed since some time.

There was meditative silence inside the room. First time experiencing in my life there was current flowing, the moment I touched his feet. There was energy with him, even at the age of 81, the energetic movement spontaneous responses in the discussions was amazing. Spiritually aligned. God created a man so that he can live such life, again he can become God. He is close it.   It was a divine experience to talk to him for few minutes about me, about my agenda of meeting. There was a love, supreme peace and bliss in his eyes. The silence was real strength of joy “God is not a matter of understanding, It is a matter of experience” It was my humble attempt to experience the God in him…

After everything, though I knew the protocol and security, I have asked him to have photo with him, agreed. I did not arranged professional photographer, so I was taking out my small cyber shot camera, looking at camera, immediately he called his personal secretary to click the photo. After a few photographs. He sat back on his chair.  I felt like touching his feet and take a blessing. I have asked him, I want your blessing, though he was reluctant, I went to him and touched his feet. I should say I am blessed…

Today's maturity is different form yesterday's

Arivu  ಅರಿವು … The Maturity at which we deal today is different from the maturity with which we dealt same on yesterday. I was discussing with a good friend of mine for his decision of postponing his marriage even after late 30’s.  He questioned me, what makes difference if it is too late marriage? Suddenly did not have answer to justify. But I believe, the intimacy at innocence age has different experience and feeling than the intimacy after over maturity. Every day pass by, we add an experience. Every time we meet a person we add an experience and get matured. It is foolish to say, I am meeting today with the same maturity had yesterday. Every experience showered gives a maturity in your life. I always say in my beginning of the speech, the person walked inside this room is not the same person when you go back. It adds a new experience in his life and adds a new wisdom on to the person. And it is true the person  gets next level of maturity when he goes back.

33. Count your blessings not the troubles

 Count your blessings not the troubles  In my journey of life and the lessons gleaned from personal experiences that I aspire to share in the book I am endeavoring to publish, one profound revelation stands out. It revolves around our tendency to attribute our challenges and discontent to external factors—the country we reside in, the state and city we belong to, the educational institutions we attended, or even our family lineage. We extend this blame to the very fabric of our society, including our parents and their predecessors. Yet, upon closer examination, it becomes evident that the prosperity or adversity of a nation isn't solely determined by geographical location or available resources. Take Japan, for instance—a nation with limited arable land and abundant mountains. Despite these seemingly unfavorable conditions, Japan has emerged as a global economic powerhouse, relying on its innovative prowess rather than abundant resources. Notably, intellectual and racial differenc

"Covid 19 Pandemic: Embracing Life's True Values" The COVID-19 pandemic shook the world, forcing us to reevaluate our lives, our priorities, and our values. In the face of uncertainty, the pandemic taught us invaluable lessons that we must carry forward. These lessons are a testament to the strength of the human spirit and a reminder of what truly matters in life.  Life's Fragility:   "In the crucible of the pandemic, the fragility of life became painfully evident, etched into the fabric of a personal tragedy that unfolded within the circles of my closest friends. The story began when a dear friend's husband, on a business trip to Bangalore, found himself entangled in the clutches of COVID-19. The hotel where he stayed instructed him to leave immediately and go to the hospital. However, finding a good hospital was challenging, and he sought my help. An urgent plea for help echoed from both Bangalore and Delhi, where his wife anxiously reached out to me, seeki
