Eight senses of you!

There are eight senses in you!

• Sight
• Hearing
• Touch
• Taste
• Smelling
• Feeling self (your) presence(!)
• Feeling others' presence
• Feeling God's presence

Never leave a day without using all these senses! Or never allow a day leave you without your using all these senses!

Best is the rest! But not the worst work! Avoid Diabetes!

If one sits down on a chair and takes rest for a while, it is OK. But if he goes on working only with his brain and eyes for hours together sitting on a chair, this resting on that chair becomes the worst work of any work. Let it be the work on a computer or reading a book. Here, other parts of the body are awake but not working. The person's digestive system produces glucose from the food he has taken in. The blood carrying this glucose is now in a dilemma in this situation. His muscles are not working; they don't require glucose. All the muscular parts of the body are awake and ready to work; glucose is also ready to get used up for that; due to this, it cannot be converted by the body into either protein or fat also. So, the excess glucose, that remains after being used for vital basic functions of the body, accumulates in the blood as time goes on with the continuing process of digestion. This chronic accumulation of excess glucose that is ready but without any utilisation results in the retention of glucose in the blood, the glucose being blind-folded and losing its capacity to find its usual exit into the body tissues. Then, a part of this glucose gets out of the blood to the exterior as such in the urine; the rest and the most of it remains in the blood unused. This state of (dis-eased) body is Diabetes mellitus! So, a man must be either bodily active fully, or take rest completely in between, in doing such sedentary works - that resting too taken in between equal shorter periods of doing that work. This will release glucose from blood either to the muscles for continuing their activity or to the fatty tissue for fat formation, thus preventing Diabetes mellitus in you! This is important in people who take in more carbohydrate-rich diets. Moreover, the students in their schools must not be confined to their desks for both the day and nighttime studies in the name of tuition to get more marks in their exams. Their nature is to be active always. If their activities are restricted now, they may develop later Diabetes mellitus in their adulthood! Make our future generations Diabetes-free!

Stop and move away to listen to TV next!

When we stare at TV or computer screen, or read books, we hold our breath at a certain level and let in air into the lungs only in a thinner stream than the usual stream. The continuous staring produces first tiredness in our muscles that have become inactive already due to our seating motionless in the chair (that is, they are having less blood flow); next the tiredness creeps into the eyes, and hence our mind too becomes tired. How can we avoid this and supply more oxygen to our brain, eyes and muscles, and thereby clearing the accumulating toxic substances in the blood?
First stop that work; close your eyes; take in deep breaths and let it out - for about ten minutes; then rise up, walk away and do other energetic works for about ten minutes. And then return to continue your listening or reading with the freshened up state!
But, is there any other method to freshen up yourself without all these breathing and spending your valuable time? Yes. It is there! It is the talking actively with other viewers or readers seated next to you. Talking itself is an excellent exercise for the lungs that supplies oxygen in full stream! But that walking or moving away from the spot cannot be avoided here; it should be included anyway.
Then, think about the lonely yogis meditating in the interior of wild forest. How do they manage sitting always on the ground lonely for hours together - though not listening to TV or reading books?  Whom they shall talk to? Can it be this? They simply close their eyes and talk with the God, breathing deeply!

Life's basic aspects!

It is better to recollect and remember these important aspects of our life:

• We exist to live.
• We maintain our form intact as a human being.
• We function as a human being.
• We live also to prevent any deformation or malfunctioning (disease).

These are the fundamental basics of life. Added skills acquired during our growing-up years enhance only our convenience and facilities; hence our lifestyle changes also. That's all. So, maintain these life's basics first!

Think about the present comforts!

Now, in our life we want to get things and comforts that we do not have at present. But we forget what things and comforts that we have now. If we think about this, the need for those extra items and our further expectations on them will become lesser!

Strengthen friendship within relationship!

A friendship is to be made newly; but relationship is already there with us readily made - for always keeping friendship and befriending with! Don't avoid it; renew it and nurture it - for bonding to life and getting benefits out of it! 

First have abilities!

Before buying a material or machine, one should have abilities (or persons having these abilities) to use or operate it. Even if you have these abilities now or later, you must then protect, retain and maintain it (- as also the persons operating it, in case you do not have the abilities yet). Otherwise, the material or the machine that is to be bought will become idle, rusted and a waste. So, have abilities first before buying these and have also skills in managing it - to get the best performance out of it!

Formation of Mind, I and the Soul in the newborn!

The 'Mind' is formed in a newborn baby from the first instance it receives its first stimulation through any of its senses and this stimulation is 'felt' for the first time; later, when the same stimulation comes again to the baby and is felt again, by its 'Mind', now its 'Mind' becomes the 'I' after the identification and understanding this later stimulation as one like that of that one received earlier, and that it is now recurring. (Here note that the 'Memory' of the baby is also formed). Along with these the subconscious first identification and understanding of 'Self' (the 'Mindly Soul') is also done by the 'Subconscious Mind', which has been also thus formed out of the baby's 'Mind', the 'I', by this process of identification, understanding, and feeling of 'Self' as a separate one! Such understandings are reinforced when that stimulation repeats itself coming to the baby constantly. When another different type of stimulation comes next to stimulate and to be felt, the 'I' of the baby understands it too to be a different one by 'comparing' it with the previous one - the memory + understanding the new one by comparison. Thus the reasoning power of the Mind is also got by the baby!

Get rewarded out of challenging work!

With achievements in our regular and routine works, we don't feel them as achievements at all or we don't inform others about them proudly. They are felt only just as a subconscious completion of work, that too is forgotten in a few minutes. But when we do and complete a challenging and problematic work, we get the whole sensation of achievement, completion and satisfaction out of it which we don't forget at all, and remember it throughout our lifetime. So, face challenging works in life; go through them and conquer; get rewarded for it and recollect about it in mind forever to rejoice about it!

Expect anything by memory/senses!

Memory of yesterday's satisfaction induces an expectation in us today too, for getting that again. Example for this is that we expect, by reflex, yesterday's tasty food today too to be served. But there is also an another type of expectation which we get only when we feel it through our senses combined with memory. Here, information from our memory is retrieved on receiving a similar stimulus from the environment as that of a previous one. This one evokes in us an expectation of arrival of something that either satisfied or terrified us before with its content, in a similar previous conditions of the environment. Examples for this are a pet fish in an aquarium tank swimming up to the water surface on mere seeing the fingers of its master, expecting a feed! And humans expecting Tsunami that occurred on a similar date in a previous year! Think also here about the special perception power of animals in identifying the oncoming Tsunami early!

Desire makes warning ignored!

Desire is the worst enemy of a man's intellect. For our goodness, our intellect advises or warns us of our deviation to the improper way; but our desire makes us ignore those advice or warning!

Not all! One at a time!

We are amazed on seeing colossal buildings. We know that they were made out of hard work done by numerous humans. It is beyond the capacity of a single man in erecting such a building. So, man has limitations in his capacity. And he cannot overload himself with such a colossal work. In the ordinary routine life, we have to do even simple works one by one, and the complex work a part at a time, taking rest to resume it next. So, do - not all! But one at a time!

Human body is unique with all its switches!

Human body operates with low electrical impulses having units as low as Micro-volts! But with these impulses of ours, we can control the motor vehicles that operate with electricity 12 Volts and higher than that! So, we have a remarkable body: we can stop an intended action in its middle; but a vehicle operating with huge power (comparatively) cannot stop by itself once its engine is switched on; it will stop only when another force comes down (from us) to press the engine switch to the off position! So, the God has given us 'POWER' to stop doing (the bad) act in its various stages - even before doing it - i.e., in the mind, in the process of willing to do it, and also within the short time of beginning to do it. We are much better than machines! Yes, we have switches within ourselves at various levels. Let us use them wisely and control ourselves!

Brush away or come together!

Order, form and function must be maintained in an organism or an animal to be recognised by other animals. Otherwise, those other animals, whether of the same kind or of a different kind shall find out the difference and malfunctioning, if any, and may either ridicule or reject it away! But this situation is brushed away either by moving away knowing it as the nature of their mind or by approaching them, proving that it has friendliness and kindness in its mind by communicating with them nicely, and making them accept it as one of a kind!

The dawning of wisdom!

When a work, that is done in a stupid way out of ignorance, reveals the fact to the person, and the person understands the fact now and begins to do that work in a proper, good and approved way, there dawns the wisdom in him/her!

It's Tamil version:
"இதுவரை விஷயம், விவரம் தெரியாது மடத்தனமாக செயல்புரிந்து, பின், உண்மை புரிந்து சரியான வழியில் செயல்பட ஆரம்பிக்கும்போது அங்கே உதயமாவதுதான் 'அறிவு' என்பது!"

Check before driving!

 Remember this list of words to check the condition of a motor vehicle before driving it:

• Fuel 
• Brake
• Ignition
• Horn
• Mirrors
• Tyres
• Indicators
• Lights
• Seat belt

These checks are important for a safe driving to the place of destination!

Don't repeat!

Wrongdoing should not be continued again; one should correct himself forthwith and follow the right way of life. He should not be going on repeating his wrongdoing - to prove himself as a stupid person for all others to laugh at!

It's Tamil version:
தவறுகளை மீண்டும் செய்யாமல் தன்னைத் திருத்திக்கொள்ளவேண்டும்; இந்த தப்புக்களை மீண்டும் செய்து தன்னை முட்டாள் என்று அணைவரின் முன்பும் நிரூபிக்கவேண்டாம்!
