Ultimately, we do and should do only these in the world:
Learn new skills; do them and get experience and satisfaction out of them! Because, we don’t have anything in reality as – body or mind or food as our own, except for this learning, doing and being proud of having such experience and skills. These are all that our souls can possess in this world till they exist in it!
Senses are arrested or locked or captivated within a minute circle – having the cell phone and you only! Not sensing and thinking with ‘broad’-mindedness, one’s environment is lost as also the time spent in it!
1. Adding the quantities of food-intakes for the current day session.
2. Quality of food.
3. Sampling and tasting for pleasantness, before consuming.
4. Proper time of food intake.
5. Appetite.
6. Past experience with the same or similar food.
7. Counting the food items intake for the session of the day.
8. Present advantage, if consumed (having a target of intake).
9. Desire to consume the food intended to take.
10. Food’s suitability to the present diseased condition, if any.
Being in marriage is a mutual bonding and supporting process between two persons, starting from its initiation to the life’s end of each one of the couple. As one couple is in this process for years, the mutual responsibilities and duties also increase, with gratitude to each other added in, especially in the old age. Whether one is compelled into the relationship or not, whether he/she wanted the relationship or not - from its initiation or during the years later on, it doesn’t matter here. Worthiness of marriage increases with the years of this continuation of bonding and support. So, couple should appreciate this and continue it from this second, minute, hour and so on. Once the couples are on the wheel of the marriage/fortune, they should not look down to the depth from which they have travelled up. But they should look up towards the top position on the wheel to get a heightened position and satisfaction out of it. Even if they look down the depth, they should appreciate their rising-up so far and begin to look up then, without remaining/staying on that same level. Once they are at the top level, they should remain, retain, and maintain on that level.
When a person drives a car at night, traffic signals at junctions regulate road traffic and help him drive safely. But he doesn’t know how that signalling mechanism works. Or, he is least bothered about its working. Somehow it works for the good – that’s his attitude. Likewise, in our life God signals us for our safety and good existence. Some may want to know about this intricate mechanism of signalling for goodness, while others may not want to know about it. But this signalling goes on for free and forever in spite of our individual attitudes. One must realize, wonder about this, and appreciate God for this. This will cool/warm Him in return, as our gratitude to Him.
How wonderful it is that the evolution of humans from a unicellular organism has been explicitly described in five words of Tamil language! Water, soil, hotness, space and air! Living things have evolved from Water to Air! How the ancient Tamil scholars have found out all these and expressed before the Evolution theory of Darwin, I wonder!
If a person indulges in social media without limits, it means that he has shrunken his concentrating and doing activities with his body and mind to a tiny circle in a remote place. Nothing happens out of it except an addiction - to continue in it more and more, and again and again, that is a result of an initial fun/entertainment/ attachment he gets from it. This addiction compromises his daily routine works and may irritate others. So, one should come out of this tiny circle by jumping out of it into a biggest circle, that is the Earth, where we were made to do our activities by our birth, with both body and mind.
What we experience and find it as a wonder may not be suitable and appreciable to our children. For example, you find it as wonder to view television channels, and to speak, read and view on mobile phones or computers. But when children also use these, they may produce result in them that may be different from the understanding we get as adults. So, they may affect both their body and mind. Children build up their understanding with what they know already. To avoid this misunderstanding and injuries, we should not expose our children to these modern day luxury gadgets.
Younger people do not like elder people’s advice, reporting or informing. They like only fun from them!
If one does great things in life, he has self-esteem. But if others go on appreciating him, he becomes proud of it, and then goes on to try and do more and more for it; thus he becomes crazy for being appreciated more and more. (The best example for them are the Kings of the ancient times!).
To be smoother in their lives, people, particularly those aging, should have these with them:
1. Good memory power – to appreciate all the persons.
2. Adjustment – giving up something and being satisfied with what is at present or in possession.
3. Self-control – setting the limits and not crossing them.
They must train themselves to enrich all those above-said. What they should not have, and what they should avoid are these:
1. Forgetfulness.
2. Alamance.
3. Limitlessness.
Cry for/at the past (incidents). Try for/at the present; but don’t cry for the future! [But, if you don’t try now, you may cry in the future].
Thoughts and the air, breathed in or out, are interconnected. Thoughts are formed in the mind and so, the mind is also connected with the air we breathe. If the air striking on the senses (through the ears) could produce the feelings and thoughts (and emotions), it, (the air), can be produced (expressed) back from us too, as sound waves from our mind and thoughts via the breathed-in air - our speech.
If the thoughts arising from the mind are directly conveyed to the environment as speech, it shall be ‘truth.’ Or, if they are twisted between the path of thought process and the mind, and then only spoken off, it shall be a purposely twisted one that is done to influence on others; it may be either a truth or a lie; but it will be definitely a delayed act done to influence on others.
If the air is the medium connected to one’s mind, it can be also reached by others (who breathe in, seated front of him) by making him to speak – by their use of commanding words (actions, like speech), and getting themselves connected to his mind, by listening through their ears or senses, isn’t it? Though one’s mind cannot be directly connected to others, his mind’s data storage through his memory, can be accessed by others, when he/she tries to remember and retrieve data, and refreshes memory, thinks and decides before replying to the commanding questions (as in saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’). Here, others could actually read his mind’s storage data that he refreshed out to enter into his mind, and examined just now, and could read (or hear) also that comes out tagged to his speech using his breathed-in air.
Thus they, such specially trained persons, may be actually reading (hearing) his recovered data through the air he gives out as speech/reply! So, the mind’s data retrieved by remembering may be still existing at his lungs’ level, though temporarily. This data may get erased with time and distractions, as we breathe in fresh air at a different place through our breathing and by meditation!
When one is deeply engaged in reading books or social media or listening to television, he/she forgets the environment and concentrates mind in it only. So, the person loses contact with the environment where all others are present, active and moving around. At that time or at any instant of that time, they may get out of his environment and cannot be seen then, either to talk to or to move with. But he can stop his personal concentrating works by switching off the gadgets, which action is in his control only, whereas, the chance of personal contacting with others is not entirely in his control.
So, whenever there are other persons around, one should stop reading books or listening to the electronic media, put them away and grab the chance of moving with them, more surely when the persons belong to a younger age group.
When we bend down our head, it means that we won’t do any work by ourselves from that moment onwards either by talking or doing, or won’t think ourselves. With this our bending down, our breathing passages are partially blocked by cutting down the air-supply to our mind and senses. (Thus, we become a slave to others).
Don’t bend down necks; look up straight to the world raising up chin. A lot of things are there in the external world to be explored, desired, thought on, acted upon and appreciated – all these done with our refreshed mind and senses; keep them all alive – by looking up and doing all by ourselves without expecting commands from others!
