What is motorcycle as bare metal?
A two wheeler with an engine to rotate the wheel provided throttle, brake to control the speed. What is motorcycle engine(petrol engine or ICE) – motorcycle engines converts heat energy into motion energy. What is electric motor – a motor which converts electric energy into motion energy.
How motorcycle differs? They differ in engine capacity, engine tuning, weight, wheelbase, height, rider sitting triangle or sitting ergonomics, suspension tuning, tire grip, fuel efficiency.
Our feelings, emotions over motorcycle are pure delusions which our mind creates. Once delusions are faded away over a period of time, then we will see a bare metal with wheels, engine, throttle, brake. We do not feel carburetor or fuel injector, battery and other internal parts till they are working fine, like our internal body parts.
Motorcycle selling companies consistently create the delusions over bikes to keep their business profitable.
Life is full of delusions and delusions give excitement to living. Delusions are required to live the materialistic life happily. Delusion is natural and a biological necessity to keep the “life” continuing. We get the “feel of life” from our delusions, like we get the “feel of bike”.
How to become Rich from salaried employee without any background or ancestral wealth?
In order to become rich from salaried employee without any background or ancestral wealth, you need three things in favor of you.
- You have to earn more than what do you need to live
- You have to invest the excess
- Your investment has to grow or appreciate
You have to earn excess, If you are in short of money/salary for your living too, then you will not have money for investment. So earn more than what do you need to live.
Invest the excess money in realty, gold, shares, mutual fund, bonds, in (your/other) business, in (your/other)company.
Your investment have to grow in value or appreciate in value. This is not in your control. Luck has to favor you in 3rd point. Various factors involved in the 3rd point which is beyond your control.
If you do the first two things correctly and then 3rd point also favors you, then you become rich over a period of time. You need to wait for some time for your investment to grow.
If you are not earning more than what do you need, then you can not invest the excess. If you are not investing, then there is no scope for growth or appreciation.
In order to taste the luck/appreciation, you need to invest.
Earn more, invest the excess, pray for appreciation of your investment to become rich.
But, if you want to live happily, enjoy, then SPEND the excess money. You have to earn more than what do you need to live. SPEND the excess to live happily. Spending gives you pleasurable and memorable experience in life.
To become rich, INVEST.
To live happily SPEND.
Choice is yours.
Note: Whatever is your salary, or how much is your salary… Your salary is not richness. It is a blunder to consider salary as richness. Salary is not a life long or evergreen income source. Salary will be stopped sooner or later.
Digital Renaissance need NEW God, Religion, Philosophy.
Humans are in their age of semi-conductors, internet, digital money, AI. We are in digital Renaissance.
The Gods, religions, philosophies induced by agrarian social model will not work out any more in digital era. They are obsolete, outdated.
The human invention of God, philosophies, religions, spirituality have taken humans from barbaric or cannibalism to peaceful resource sharing society. Countries, big societies are formed due to this inventions. They helped humans to organise in a larger scale or build unity.
We have a organised ways of resource sharing across billions of people. When I say resource sharing I mean, food, shelter, sex, cloths, etc. The way resources were shared in barbaric society was ruthless. Agrarian society has a better “competitive resource sharing practices” when compared to barbaric or savage society. Evolution of Marriage played a vital role in agrarian society. Though there were inequalities here and there, by and large agrarian model was better than barbaric model. Now resource sharing practices of agrarian model is failing in digital society. Marriage is failing frequently and leading to disappointment and frustration mostly in digital age. Economically independent woman does not require a role called “husband” in long run. Financially independent wife is in no need to serve a “husband” forever unconditionally till either one dies. Digital age need new resource sharing practices better than agrarian model. Marriage has to be abandoned or better child care and old age care process has to be evolved as per digital age.
The life values of agrarian social system are expired or diluted in Digital society. We used a ladder to claim from barbaric to agrarian social setup. We cannot attach to that ladder anymore. We need new lift to claim from digital era further. Drop the ladder which we built and used to claim. Now we have to build and use a modern elevator to claim from digital Renaissance.
We need new God, religion, spirituality, philosophy to claim further from digital age.
If we continue to use the age old ladder, the nemesis will be worse and unimaginable like we consume expired medicine or rotten food.
If we, let it evolve on its own, it will take it’s sweet time to evolve, and many people will suffer in various ways or die out of resource to live during this evolving period.
After attaining freedom from British, India wrote it’s Constitution immediately. It did not wait for the Constitution to evolve. Like that, it is time now for World to create it’s new God, religion, philosophy, spirituality, resource(food, shelter, clothing, sex, comfort, luxury,status,pride) sharing practices globally according to digital era. No time for experiment, trial and error. Consciously create a new belief system and values.
Wealth Ceiling – Greed Free Society – Poverty Free Society
Need of the hour for India and World is wealth ceiling. Today’s socio-cultural-political system is allowing a single person to earn as much as possible either genuine or ingenuine ways. A person can earn as much as money, properties/realty, vehicles, jewel, invest in share markets, unlimited savings or bank balance, unlimited investments as long as he/she pays tax to the government appropriately. One can hold any amount of capital.
This unlimited hoarding of wealth in multiple aspects leading to poverty in the world. Wealth ceiling is not a recommended practice for all humanity for all the periods or time. It is a medicine for the side effects of excess practice of capitalism in current world.
There is no philosophy fits all in all the time. Wealth ceiling could not be implemented 70 years back when the human world was healing after world wars and colonization. Those time the medicine was capitalism. But today we are suffering from capitalism and globalization. Globalization was the medicine to stagnant economy of 1990s. From 2000 onwards globalization took the world economy to next level. That was a cure to the disease which world was suffering 30 years back.
Too much of anything is bad. Too much of capitalism or globalization is also bad. Now world has to distribute the wealth, resources across many people evenly as much as possible. Forcibly governments across countries have to implement wealth ceiling.
For example, an individual should not hold more than 5 lakhs rupees bank balance. If any amount deposited more than 5 lakhs, then government will take the excess amount and use it for people welfare plans. An individual should not buy property more than 3000 sqft of plot or home from realty. There should be limitation of jewels (gold/silver/platinum) allowed to posses by an individual. So 400 grams of gold is the cap. Government will confiscate more than that.
Agriculture land possession can be exception to this wealth ceiling, because large scale farming is better than small scale forming.
In terms of salary, bank balance, realty property, gold possession, share market investments there should be ceiling for an individual as how much maximum he can own.
This should be applicable to all the individuals – politicians, government employees, businessmen, industrialist, etc. Any individual tax identification number(person) should have a ceiling. Exceptions are to corporate, public limited, private limited companies based on how many employees working there and how much salary distributed.
This is will dilute the material interests of people. People will stop boasting about salary, wealth, economic status, designation, positions and etc. People will not be stressed out in job, because they know they have a salary ceiling. Businessman will not cheat or overdo the business for more profit, because, the more they earn will be confiscated by government.
There will not be political and bureaucratic scam or bribery. No use of making more money when you have a ceiling on your wealth.
There were times, when man can marry multiple wives at a time. Nowadays, this practice of polygamy is extinct. Social awareness and legal systems helped to remove polygamy from the society. Many social evils on women are eliminated from the society by government and legal system.
Excess wealth with an individual is a social disease like obesity – excess body weight.
Our society is severely affected with a disastrous hunger for wealth. Employees want more salary, businessmen want more profit, education has become a profitable business, healthcare is a profit making business, hotel, food… everything running for profit, more profit. Service is ignored, profit is focused. Need of the hour is profit ceiling.
This will change the people’s mind set towards material values. People’s belief and value system will change. Welfare governments will rise and profit making governments will disappear.
With more money, scam free honest government can provide education, shelter, healthcare, basic needs to all the people evenly.
More employment will be created instead of high earning few individuals. Jobs will be distributed as well as salary too.
We need to take the medicine of Wealth Ceiling before we die due to excess consumption of globalization and capitalization.
This is not a permanent approach towards wealth. After 50 years from now, this wealth ceiling can be abandoned. There is no rule applicable to all the time. Medicine as per disease and till we have disease. Once disease cured, stop taking medicine, live normally.
Our society is severely affected by a disease called Greed. We greed for more marks in education. We greed for more salary in employment. We greed for more profit in business. We greed for more properties, assets. We greed for more jewels. We greed for more. We greed for more material wealth. We greed for more status, we greed for more fame, we greed for more recognition, we greed for more want.
Wealth ceiling is a right medicine to cure this Greed for More.
The current socio-political-economic system is allowing individual wealth hoarding without limits even genuinely. It is accepting the greed legally. As on date, greed/excess is not a crime, might be sin, but not a crime as per current legal system. The system has to change and stop wealth hoarding without limits and enforce limiting on greed or excess.
Dynamic Definition to Material Life
If any philosophy, ideology, concept, formula give definite state or priciples to life then it will fail at some point.
No formula or philosophy or no rule fits all or suitable for all the situations.
Life is dynamic, changing from time to time and from person to person and from being to being.
Life cannot be approached with definite or rigidly structured rule or philosophy.
A dynamic definition is required to approach material life.
Practical Spirituality for Materialistic Man
Too much of anything gives problem. No much of anything gives problem. We need to maintain a balance between too much and no much to be peaceful and balanced.
Balancing in all the needs of life and wants of life is important for a man of material life. Health, wealth, fame, recognition, importance, ego, pleasures, pains, success, failure, etc all are needed in proper dosage to be happy and stable in material life. Neither in excess nor in scarcity – balanced fulfillment of all is required to have a satisfied life.
If you are leading a material life, too much of spirituality is bad. It affects your material life. If you like or can not avoid material life, then do not involve in spirituality too much. Like pickle to curd rice ratio, keep spirituality a bit low and fulfill your materialistic demands. Distribute your efforts/time 80℅ for material life and 20℅ for spiritual life.
Identify what you want and where are you in the life and channelize your energy/efforts accordingly.
If you are into earning money, getting married, having children, bringing up children, then you need to address all the ingredients of material life.
Going to temple or your worshipping place, reading/reciting your religion’s holy books, doing prayer for material gains, doing charity, remembering God or Divine force if possible, avoid committing sins if possible, forgive other’s mistakes as well as your mistakes, pray good luck to all your loved ones as well as your hatred ones, watch your thoughts, emotions, feelings, actions, speech if possible, but do not control them (you can not control them, let it be) – are your spiritual involvements. Rest you have to focus on your material life.
Mukti, samadhi, enlightenment, awakening, realizing brahman or aatma, mystical experience beyond mind, etc. are not for you if you are into material life. They are for a person who is into 100℅ spiritual life and completely detached from material life and have no commitments in material life.
There are yogic practices, breathing techniques, watching breath, strict religious process, narcotic intakes to break the crust of I or melt the crust of I to connect with Divine energy. These practices completely removes all the delusions we have, these delusions are propelling our life. If you get rid of these delusions, you will experience true nature of You, but it is not the scope or objective of family man. As a materialistic man, you do not try anything like these. You just live with the crust of I, do not break it. Live with your delusions, do not erase your delusions. It is difficult for an uprooted tree to grow again. Don’t uproot. Just undergo and experience both good and bad of life without resistance like a tree which experiences all weathers and seasons patiently.
Aging and experience will give you wisdom. Wisdom will give detachment to life, detachment from what is You gradually, yes Gradually. No sudden spikes of wisdom for family man. Wisdom will gradually dilutes your delusions. What state is attained by ardent yogic practices, that state you will gradually reach through aging, experience, wisdom. Aging, experience, wisdom is the path for family man, not yogic practices.
If you seek advice for your materialistic life problem, then get advice from an experienced person from materialistic life or atleast who is wearing your similar shoes. Do not seek advice from spiritual person for your materialistic life problems. Your material life is immaterial to spiritual person. His/her advice will not solve your problems. Be aware from whom you need to get advice. Sharing, lamenting are different from getting advice. You can share your grievance to some one you trust. But, you cannot get advice from anybody, especially from a spiritual person for your materialistic problems.
As a materialistic man/woman, you live with your fears and live with your desires. You pray for your fears and pray for your desires. Divine energy wants you to live like a human, that is why it has given you a chance to born as human. So, live, experience, die as a man/woman. Cosmic energy wants to experience, how it is to be you, so be you.
Enlightened Idiots
If you attain wisdom or enlightened, please keep quiet. Do not announce to others that you are awaken or enlightened. Please, do not start discoursing your blissful experience to others. Do not write books about your journey from ignorance to enlightenment. Your announcement, discourse, writings will not help others even little bit.
People around you, will mock behind you. People think you are mentally sick. An experience beyond words, can not be explained in words. If you try to explain your experience in words, it will confuse others.
First of all, try to understand, what people want. What is the desire. People are interested to listen about what they want, and what they like. Those who are interested in cricket, will read about cricket, watch cricket, discuss cricket with like minded people. If you are not interested in cricket, then any engagement with cricket will irritate you.
If someone aspires to pass Civil Service exam, then they will study, speak, discuss, read, analyze, and ponder over subjects to pass civil service exam.
Oh Enlightened idiots, if you talk about spirituality to people whose desire, want, interest are in some other thing, then they will get irritated with your talking or discourse.
By and large, do not push/pressure spirituality to everybody. You are enlightened, it does not mean that everybody want to be enlightened, not everybody seek wisdom. Somebody wants money, somebody wants status, somebody wants jewels, somebody wants fame…etc. If you discourse spirituality to everybody irrespective of their wants, then you will be considered as boring person. Soon, people will avoid you.
Many middle age and old people have an inclination towards spirituality. They are not actually interested in spirituality or wisdom or enlightenment or mukti, They have problems and pains in their material life. They are trying to find a solution to their problems from spirituality. What they want is solution to their problem, not enlightenment or awakening or wisdom. Don’t misunderstand that they are spiritual seekers and do not start discoursing as how to become enlightenment to them.
Enlightenment is nothing but a stone getting awareness as it is a stone. What will be the change physically or externally to the “Awakened Stone”? it still remains a stone. That’s it.
If you are enlightened or awakened or in bliss, then why are you involved in this material life. Why are you attached to worldly/material values. Abandoned your worldly identities, disappear from “your world”, beg for food alone. Do not worry about others, people will get, what they want, when they are ready as per divine chaos. You don’t need to feed spirituality to others. Don’t give me beautiful cloths, when I am in hunger. Give me food, that’s what I want, not spirituality. Spirituality is not the want or desire of everybody.
Decades ago, wherever we go, there will be a MLM person enticing you to become his/her downline. Now, wherever we go, some enlightened person, start discoursing how to become enlightened, without even knowing whether we really want it or not.
We are into Enlightenment Torture nowadays.
Spiritual Life Vs Materialistic Life – relation
How spirituality related to materialistic life? Spirituality has no impact on materialistic life and materialistic life has no impact of spirituality. A spiritually enlightened man can be either rich or poor. Enlightenment does not decide your materialistic wealth. Rich or poor life, does not enlightened you. Enlightenment decides your feelings, emotions to the events, happening in material life. It does not control events happening in material life.
Material life has it’s own rules and measurements unique to person to person by divine chaos, which are completely not related to spirituality. If you want to study well, you have to read, memorize, write, practice repeatedly to score good marks. If you are enlightened or worshipper or go to temple or meditate or do prayers, which will not guarantee that you will score good marks in your school or college or competitive exams.
Being wealthy, healthy, respectful, proud is entirely related to material life. You cannot claim respect from others in material life because you are spiritually enlightened. Material world has its own value system and measurement as how to respect or treat a person based on wealth and productivity. If you demand respect from material world, you have to fulfill what material world is expecting. If you want to travel in first class in train, then you should be in a position to pay(money) for first class ticket. Which means you should have enough money or earn enough money to buy first class ticket. No compromise.
Becoming enlightened or not is the only choice given to human. Rest, everything is determined subjectively by person to person. There are rules and there are exceptions. No theory fits for all in materialistic world.
A poor man can be enlightened, and a rich man can be enlightened. A poor man need not be enlightened, and rich man need not be enlightened. Enlightened has no relation with wealth or any materialistic resources.
If you want materialistic benefits, then you have to provide what it wants, be adhere to it’s process. Fifty Fifty. To achieve anything in materialistic life, your effort is 50% and divine chaos favoring to you is 50%. To pass you need 70% from both your effort and fate.
Your effort and your fate, decides how you live in materialistic life. But your spiritual life is 100% your choice. You can choose to be enlightened or not. If you are enlightened, it influence your feelings and emotions to events in materialistic life. It does not control happenings in materialistic life.
You need to put your effort to achieve anything in materialistic world provided you have God’s blessings(fate) for the same. You are working in a company. You want to be well paid. To be well paid, two things need to be good. One – you have to perform well, you have to contribute. Second – your company has to perform well in the industry or market. Both are tandem, complementing each other. You are performing well, but your company is not performing the business well, then you will not be paid. Your company is performing it’s business well, but you are not performing well, then you will not be paid. Both you and your company are not performing well respectively, then you will not be paid. In order to be paid well, both you and your company have to perform well. Tandem.
To be rich in material life, you need not be spiritually rich. To be spiritually rich, you need not be wealthy. This applies to health too.
True God’s grace, God’s blessings
We pray for God’s blessing to have good things and good experience and good feeling in life. We seek God’s blessings to be happy in this life. What is true blessings? Here is my hypothesis.
When somebody have a narrow escape in a road accident, we usually say it is because of God’s grace he or she escaped.
Here is a use case. Mr. Muthu is a 55 year old man. He has wife, daughter, and son. Muthu met an accident in road while going to office. He narrowly escaped from the accident with slight bruises.
His wife, family members said that he is alive, not died in accident due to God’s grace, he is Blessed.
After one month from the accident, Muthu’s daughter eloped with her lover. Muthu gone into deep agony. While searching his daughter, his son met accident and his son broke his leg and hospitalised.
Now, how Muthu is feeling. Does he think that God saved him from the accident to have and undergo bitter experience now. Does he feel that it is because of God’s grace he escaped from accident one month back?
His feeling now will be that he should have died in accident one month back so that he will not face the current problems – daughter’s elopement and son’s accident.
So Muthu’s escape from accident is a blessing or curse from God or Satan. Who saved Muthu from fatal accident? God or Satan?
When God terminate somebody’s life, we don’t know whether the death is a blessing or curse. When God saves somebody from death, we don’t know whether it is a blessing or curse.
End of wordly life means end of both pleasure and pain from this worldly life. Who knows whether you escaped from pain or pleasure or both.
Death is a true blessing which put an end to the never ending sufferings in materialistic life. Extension of life is a curse which continues the suffering of this worldly life.
Major religions of humanity believe that this worldly life is immaterial and it is a preparation phase for after life. Death takes the spirit back from earthly life and sends the spirit to after life. So true believers of the major religions should long for death, seek God’grace to die and enter into everlasting next life.
Do you seek “true blessing” from God?
Hindu philosophy and it’s various sub sects believe that once you complete experiencing your karma both good and bad, your life will be terminated. Your next life will be based on both remaining karma and new karma added.
Abrahamic religions believe that once you are thoroughly tested through good and bad by God, and the testing is over, your life will be terminated. Based on your testing result, you will be judged and your everlasting after life is decided – heaven or hell.
Both Hindu religion(s) and Abrahamic religions believe this worldly life is the preparation phase for after life. Rules and regulations to pass the test is already prescribed. You have to adhere and follow the rules to pass the test or add good karma.
Whatever religion you may follow and believe – will you seek God’s true blessing?
