Accept the way it is...

We use people to get appreciation and acknowledgement to feel good, Feeling good in me is dependent on how other person acknowledge and appreciates. 

Now the question is,  Is it alright to expect other person to appreciate? If yes, the same expectation also makes, if he/she depreciate or criticise and not just opposite of appreciation, if we don't get appreciation also makes life miserable. How many of us like to listen the honest opinion like looking good or bad. Why we are miserable to accept the true opinion. 

During meditation, we expect the mobile to be silent mode. At the same time, we meditate, same tune as music played in back ground. Because we accept the same back ground  music,  but we do not accept the same tune of mobile while meditating. The opinions also are in the same way, We can accept the appreciation and not the opposite of that. The no appreciation or opposite of the appreciation makes us miserable in our life. 

We ask our child to dance in front of some body and we teach them to expect the appreciation. The character of expectation of appreciation is developed in the deep in our mind from childhood. 

Now the attitude of asking some bodies appreciation is grown to the extent in our life, is all about the impressing others. We live for others and forgotten ourselves. We are begging the appreciation and acknowledgement always. It sounds so ugly, but it is true in every body's life. 

"Stop expecting acknowledgements accept the way it is"

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...
