Life's purpose is universal love.

In life what things has to be held preciously? It is not fame, nor wealth, nor luxury, nor power, nor position. These things in life can give a temporary satisfaction but it can never provide the inner calmness of a fulfilled living. Life is a gift hamper of few moments on earth. And each moment of life will be truly lived if it is attached with pure thought of love towards all. The desire of human beings to become recognised and wealthy seems very insignificant to the joy of a life administered by love. Life has to be lived on the principles of love alone. Because every persons you meet on earth is fighting a hard battle. And (s)he needs love, not apparent lip service , nor paper works. Moreover, life will fulfill its targeted purpose if simply it is guided by love. That is why sri satya sai baba has told, "Start the day with love. Fill the day with love and end the with love."

True efforts

True efforts never go unrewarded. A temporary set back is never a permanent failure. Everything passes on, nothing is permanent and so are your problems and troubles too. Hence, life can be celebrated as a continuous thread of hopefull moments.

Apathy towards education: A real danger.

" A teacher affects eternity, he doesn't know when his influence stops." But in india the paradox is that the education system and the teaching community is sadly neglected. The number of teachers in the universities are progressively reduced by the unconcerned political heads and apathetic bureaucrats (as it is the case of universities in Orissa). It needs to be mentioned that the English department of Berhampur University is run by only one professor. All the other posts are lying vacant & the department is reduced to a one man industry. This marks an utterly woeful neglect to our education system. For the Politicians the vote box assumes more importance than education. As a result, they can shamelessly go to any extent to declare populist policies with a view to ensuring their votes. But the political heads lack the will power to reform the education system because it has least to do with vote politics. Moreover, the spread of education means the emergence of analytical minds & a growing distrust towards the so called political figures. Therefore, it is natural on the part of the politicians to be unconcerned towards education. But a perfect education system is absolutely essential for our country when the world is landing in an era of unprecedent cut-throat-competition.The best minds are never allured to a career in teaching but now the trend has to be otherwise to infuse strength in our country's stand in the world stage.

A Habit of CONTEMPLATION

For the last few days I was regularly updating my blog. But yesterday I missed. I did not care much to sit silently for a few minutes and make any attempts to catch a few noble thoughts that might be surfacing in my mind.Although this had been a regular activity , I broke the continuity.But I was really pained afterward because a healthy activity which helped me understand myself better was discontinued.
The mind missed the peace of a contemplative exercise and its spiritual effects.Moreover, the feeling of loss was exacerbated at the thought of  the lapse of regularity in a healthy activity. The feeling of guilt about not maintaining a good habit prompted me to strongly realize that IT IS ALWAYS WISE TO REGULARLY CULTIVATE GOOD HABITS AND STICK TO THEM RELIGIOUSLY & CONSCIENTIOUSLY. Because habits  forms the character and the character, in turn, the man.Therefore a  journey in this direction is nothing but a process to manifest a perfected living and should be always welcomed.

Life without understanding is a desert.

Man shows an irresistible hunger for dominating the world around and satiate his egotism.In this process many constructive and noble ideas get crushed by the opposing and canceling forces of antagonistic human faculties.It seems as if the world was full of many little Hitlers all around us.Nobody is ready to listen what the other person is imploring for.We are deaf ,blind and dumb to recognize the stand of another contemporary human being.We are cocooned, insensitive and numb.  We love to be an exception to the laws of life.But life compulsorily teaches us  that "FIRST SEEK TO UNDERSTAND AND THEN EXPECT TO BE UNDERSTOOD." If not, our lives will soon turn into a  thorny cactus standing still and alone in the midst of a Desert like life.
