Focus on the higher, lower will drop itself


We always feel challenge to wake up our children in the morning. I am trying to set a discipline to wake up my son at 5.30AM. He spends more than 20 minutes to get up from bed after he wakes up.
But I observed one day, he had to go for a trip with his friends from school. He had to leave home by 5.00 AM. Surprisingly he got up twice in the mid night and finally  4.00AM before the alarm rings.
One thing we can make out here, “between less pleasure and more pleasure we always chose more pleasure”.
Between daily getting up and sleeping for while, sleeping is more pleasure, so, he prefers to sleep. On the day of school trip, the more pleasure to him  is going with his friends.
Now the realization is how we can create more pleasure to him instead struggle to wake him up.  Sleeping is everybody likes it, but solution to that is not reduce sleep, instead start liking something more than the sleep.
The easiest way to take a person out of hell is not to speak against hell, sell a heaven to him.
I tried this in his holiday, he likes cycling with his friends. So I set a schedule in his holidays the cycling in the morning 5.30 AM. One ring of alarm, he used jump from the bed and go for cycling.
“ Focus on the higher, lower will drop itself”

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...

Guru is question of necessity

Guru Brmha, Guru Vishnu, Guru Devo Maheshwaraha… Guru is always considered as a God. Since Guru play a role of bringing a light in the life of a person. In all the scriptures the Guru is described as good as God. But Guru never says, “ I am   God”. But disciple (seeker) duty is to offer respect to the Guru just as he offers respect to God.   If all the lights in the room immediately shutoff, we would not be able to tell where we are or where others are sitting. Everything would become confused. Similarly, in materialistic life the darkness.  Therefore it needs light from sun, moon or electric light for illumination. The Guru responsibility is to bring his seekers from darkness to light. In materialistic life darkness means ignorance. A criminal may say, “I did not know the law,” But he will not be excused if he commits a crime. Ignorance has no excuse. Similarly, a child, not knowing that fire will burn, will touch the fire. The fire does not think, “this is a chil...
