A friend asked today on WhatsApp the question of all questions.. Hi Ashant, how are you? Would you have a recommendation of a non-anglosaxon origin writer, but maybe rather indian writer on the topic if the meaning of life ? Dear xxx, it's nice to hear from you.  Sounds like you are asking yourselves the question of all questions, the ultimate question that every civilisation and culture derived their answer for, but alas, the question is still being asked! Well the bad news is, there is no one book stemming from the Indian cultures that answers this question. There are different books, that give different answers, only to leave you with even more questions.  The important books through which the message of what is today known as Hinduism are the Gita, the Mahabharata and the Ramayana. The Vedas and the Upanishads are the original writings of the subcontinent, that were compiled over a period of 1000 years, by generations of sages of time, that

  Competition, Compassion and Life-Energy Competition promotes growth-by-comparison. We can compete with other humans in our social circle, or we can compete with our self-of-yesterday. While it’s mostly safe to complete with our yester-self, it’s essential to pick with whom we compete in our social circle, and for what. Battles must be carefully picked, not only on the basis of if they can be won or lost, but also on the basis of if there is a personally useful prize, and it’s worth fighting for. Fighting for everything with everybody wastes life-energy. What should one compete for? Resources. All of human evolution stands on competition for resources. At a personal level, to compete for money (a better job), trophy (friendly simulated competition, sports are a proxy to real competition, performed for preparation and preselection), territory (to gain lebensraum for self and offspring). Dominance. Human societies are structured in dominance hierarchies. The higher up in the hier

STROKE: Remember The 1st Three Letters... February 01, 2006 My friend sent this to me and encouraged me to post it and spread the word. I agree. If everyone can remember something this simple, we could save some folks. Seriously.. Please read: STROKE IDENTIFICATION: During a BBQ, a friend stumbled and took a little fall - she assured everyone that she was fine (they offered to call paramedics) and just tripped over a brick because of her new shoes. They got her cleaned up and got her a new plate of food - while she appeared a bit shaken up, Ingrid went about enjoying herself the rest of the evening. Ingrid's husband called later telling everyone that his wife had been taken to the hospital - (at 6:00pm, Ingrid passed away.) She had suffered a stroke at the BBQ. Had they known how to identify the signs of a stroke, perhaps Ingrid would be with us today. Some don't die. They end up in a helpless, hopeless condition instead. It only takes a minute to read this... A neurologist sa

It’s been my personal experience that when I asked the question, why do we work hard beyond how much is necessary to attain the resources of survival, usually  the answer is to secure the resources for our future.  For another, that we want to accumulate resources for our offspring and other dependents. This too challenges logic, because the offsprings remain dependent on the for some +/-20 of some 80 years of lifetime.  The third reason attributed to why we maximize the attainment of resources is the need to satisfy our ego, vanity, superiority – in other terms, maximize our position in a societal power hierarchy, ultimately dominate as many other humans as possible. While the first and the second reason defeat, the logic in the current age and time, the third reason has been challenged by scripture and religious knowledge of most if not all cultures – namely, that ego, though natural to the human, is self-destructive. So an aware mind would actually overcome ego in the interest of se

Is there absolute truth? Of course there is absolute truth! It however takes a large amount of mental work to derive it, and humans are not designed for the same. For example, it takes a lot of work to establish why two body masses attract each other, requiring even a specialized language like mathematics to explain this truth.  The human brain is designed for survival based on the paradigm of pattern matching, at which it is efficient. There is no evidence that we are efficient at the process of derivation of truth.  And since we are optimizing for efficiency, we utilize shortcuts.  If we deploy the wrong shortcut, we are easily and directly lead to untruth.  The moments when we catch ourselves saying, “that was dumb of me”, was usually a wrong shortcut we used, that lead to an untruth (conclusion), based on which we performed an action (predicated by a decision). What is Knowledge? One definition, that stuck through time in western civilizations, of knowledge was given by Aristotle.

(1) Those who had coins, enjoyed in the rain. Those who had notes, were busy looking for shelter. (2) Man and God both met somewhere,  both exclaimed ... "My creator" (3) He asked are you-"Hindu or Muslim" Response came - I am hungry (4) The fool didn't know it was impossible. ... So he did it. (5) "Wrong number", Said a familiar voice. (6) What if, God asks you after you die .... "So how was heaven??" (7) "They told me that to make her fall in love I had to make her laugh. But every time she laughs, I am the one who falls in love." (8) We don't make friends anymore, we add them.😀😀 (9) Once the Buddha was asked, "what's the difference between liking someone and loving someone." The Buddha replied, "if you like a flower, you will pluck it and take it home. If you love it, you will water it everyday and nurture it."

When in a crisis, adapt these behavioural patterns. You are a leader. Everyone is looking at you for confidence and safety. Give it to them. You are an impact-buffer between the danger that's coming and your company & family. What will you do to provide this protection? Pick those you want to protect.  It's probably not everyone.  It will cost you your strength and resources  to provide this protection. Be proactive. You will solve all problems. Depart from the past. Define a future that you desire , believe and expect to happen.

Emotional Transformation  #1. It is possible to attach emotions to natural phenomenon,  rather than to people. Examples: We enjoy the activity of sending out sales-quotes in anticipation of the JOY they will bring to the recipient, which could trigger further JOYOUS events like confirmation of the order, financial benefit, the TRUST it generates among employees and customers etc. Nowhere in this process should a person be involved. Not a competitor, not a contemporary, not even Self (because serving ego is a risky undertaking into unknown outcomes). This sets up the topic of Egoistic Relationships vs. Phenomenal Relationships.  This is the way to see relationships through the third eye. The third eye that comes in essence, the Phenomenal Eye. Egoistic, relationships, fundamentally exist, based on serving the ego of another person, and having them serve our ego. A phenomenal relationship addresses, the overall natural context of the other person, and mine, which, due to the nature of ou

Don’t think, be in Flow The body & the mind offer resistance to the will of the flow. Albert Einstein, on Energy & Spirit “I didn't arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.” “Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no matter.” "Time and space are not conditions in which we live, but modes by which we think. Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, determined by the external world." “Time does not exist – we invented it. Time is what the clock says. The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” “I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me." "The intellect has little to do on the road to di

A man's strength is his identity. A man's strength is also his value to the world. How much the world rewards him, and how much it regards him, is in direct proportion to his strength. The word strength circumscribes all features of a man – intelligence, hard-work, skills, talents, sense of humor, EQ, physical appearance and all such personality and character traits. This 5-point framework enables men to assess and manage their strength along their self-development process.  Physical  Material  Emotional  Intellectual / Mental Spiritual  The outcomes of male-polarity are proportional to: Status Wealth Income —  Courage Ownership Personal responsibility Conquest Emotional control What does it Mean to be a Man of High Value? It could mean two things.  1) A man of value to others in terms what he already provides to them. 2) A man of potential to provide value. People are aware that he has the capacity to provide. Either way, provide without expecting a return.  And then there is

Often the faculty of business is associated with greed, ambition and power – in a negative connotation. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Business is a means of providing service to the wider world to solve some of their problems, by using this creative abilities. The problems a business person solves for more people, the more prominence he receives. In extreme cases, the businessman receives the status of a hero. The same is true for great musicians, statesmen, sportspeople, thinkers etc – the broader and time-transcendental the impact of their creations, the higher they are held on a hero's pedestal. The calling for the hero from the public comes from the hero's archetype in the human psyche as described by Jung and Campbell. When a man fails to find (or realise) the hero in his own psyche, he is attracted to that in another. This is his love for his hero.
