Thrilled to have you with me!

I feel truly happy to tell you that this, I do not intend to be a book. Rather, it is like friends chatting up, sharing whatever we can together to enhance the wellness space.

It is my humble belief that any person, in whatever state of consciousness and positioning, is in some special ways, better than a wisdom-book, for the purpose of life & living learning. I must tell you, I have learnt and more importantly, unlearnt, primarily from people. Books somehow are people-material in text-format.

We shall talk about how we all have a ‘warrior’ within us who wins but only ‘randomly’ and how we can make it an ‘all-weather all-season Hero’, who acquires winning as a habitual art. However, first, we have to come down to one common premise, which shall help us is the fruition of the issue at hand – Making Winning A Habit.

There has to be a humble admittance – Any word, however well meant and well spelt, is a possible suspect of ‘misrepresentation’. There is a simple reason. Do you remember when your flight is about to land, the pilot aborts the landing, jolting your peace, just because something as insignificant as a ‘stray dog’ happens to be on the runway?

You already know, how similar is the fate of human words, which we all accept as the best and worthy carriers of human ‘intentions’. This airplane of human words, carrying good and noble intentions need to make a good, smooth and safe landing on the runway of another human’s mind and consciousness, which again is worthy and hugely able.

Still, the good intentioned words sometimes fail to land on the mind of others, as there is some ‘insignificant’, yet potentially fatal obstacle standing midway the runway!

It is believed, “If the hypothesis is right, the idea is accepted as right”. If two people have an assimilative and integrative attitude, one can easily see that root trouble is in subjectivity of the hypotheses. This helps in resolution of conflict of ideas.

Friendship is one positioning, where assimilation and integration about divergent hypotheses has larger accommodative space. A seed is more objectively accommodative in space than a grown up tree. Friendship is seed positioning.

That is why, at the very start, I very affectionately requested you to be my friend and accept this all as one long conversation between friends. Kindly, accept this not as a book but a ‘confabulation’ between friends. This, I am confident, shall engender smoothness of navigation and fruition of the entire exercise.

With all humility and sincerity at my behest, I wish to tell you, it needs to be said that there is only one person on the earth, who can say that he has understood. Otherwise, this domain is reserved for a metaphor called God. This is not available for humans.

It is also a heart-felt realization that our very worthy ancestors, who had the intelligence and courage to face the worst, life made them to, so that we inherit a better beautiful world, have already said almost all good things. What I can do is present them in new set of words with novelty of references.

The only justification of me telling them is that all goodness and wellness ideas and words need to be repeated and retold, to add to their all-pervasiveness.

At my age, I can say with innocence that getting old is such a beautiful and satisfying experience. It makes the ‘self’ accept the ‘utility and fruition’ of holistic, assimilative and integrative consciousness. Getting old has probably pushed ‘me’ close to the ‘eligibility’ of perhaps beginning to understand as what essentially is there to be understood!

I chat up with you to share with you whatever is part of my consciousness. All wisdoms say, human is designed to live in state of ‘flux’, a state of instinctive semi consciousness. To jolt oneself out of this, one must challenge itself; something humanity has done since millions of years. What stays with you is what sinks in. Wisdom is what we internalize.

I share with you whatever I have internalized in my life.

God On Vacation, Makes You His Deputy

Think of it. Someday, God chooses to go on a vacation and he makes you His deputy, delegating all his functions! What you shall do? Can you handle it, anyhow, if not as well as He does?

How can we? We do not have even a slightest idea as “how He does what He does”. You know the challenge of the situation, as you have faced similar circumstances at times. Your boss goes on leave and you are put in at his or her place, performing all his or her roles for a while. You do it well as you know the ‘mechanism’ of everything that involves your new roles and performances. After all, you have worked in tandem with your boss.

The simple fact is – A whole range of qualities, including concentration, determination, patience, courage, discipline, mastery, intensity, power, organization, integration, et al, which are required for the success of a role performance can be of little help, if we do not know the ‘mechanism’ of the roles and functions, we are expected to perform.

That is why, even when we all accept that humanity has the ultimate role of being in the ‘Light of God’, we at times fail in performing our functions in that cherished role. The Hero, the brilliant warrior that we all are, loaded with a whole range of beautifully amazing qualities, often fails, baffled about the situation.

It is said, “God is in details”. The other variants of the quote are also much in vogue. We all truly believe, goodness and wellness, even evil is in details. The word ‘details’ means, when we dig down, break the situation into smaller fragments, reach to ‘parts’ to understand the ‘whole’; the mechanism of a situation at hand can be revealed for success optimization.

Very right. Wisdom boils down to the objective understanding of details, the “dynamics of the mechanism” of everything. We all know from our experiences of life and living that those ideas or issues of life, the mechanism of which are not revealed to us in totality, remains mired in conflict, confusion and controversy.

For all of us, when we are out of the security of mother’s womb, the first and last awkwardness and challenge is to come to terms with one idea – Immensity and Complexity. The universe we live in, the knowledge we have to acquire, the action and duties we are expected to perform, etc. all seem colossally complex and immense. One life seems too insignificant to deal with the immensity.

However, the core wisdom of all fields – philosophy, spiritualism and even science has been telling us since thousands of years that mechanism of wisdom is not vast. Rather, contrary to our popular beliefs, it is small, simple and above all decisively singular. Those great minds, who said it, were definitively those, who delved deep into the ‘details’. The ‘mechanism’ was unraveled to them and they found it pleasantly simple and singular – very much like the idea of love and God.

In all of us, there is this Hero, who has it all to be a ‘winner’, the genius of this universe. However, this ‘Hero’ is what we can label as ‘Random Warrior’. We all have the determination, patience, courage, discipline and the mastery to be a sure and sustained ‘winner’, like a true warrior. However, as many of us somehow miss the knowledge and acceptance of this ‘mechanism’, this warrior turns out to be only a ‘random’ winner, unable to sustain the artistry of winning.

Once we understand the ‘mechanism’, the ‘Random Warrior’ in us shall become a ‘Hero’ of all weathers and seasons. We shall be then the worthy Deputy of God, the entity; we all have the eligibility to be.

We shall talk about in ‘details’, the “dynamics of this mechanism” to make this ‘Random Warrior’ an all-season “Hero of Sustained Successes”.

Why I say, there is a definite Hero in all of us? The reason is, we all have an in-built and natural ability, a born facility, which makes us ‘eligible’ for understanding the ‘mechanism’. The only trouble is, eligibility is not automatic ‘qualification’. All of us are born with a facility called ‘instinctive inquisitiveness’. This is our born eligibility. However, we need to orient and align our inquisitiveness towards ‘objective knowledge’ to ‘qualify’ as an intelligent person, who is the ‘master of mechanism’. If not, then we are left in lurch as ‘puppet of mechanism’.

Give a toy car to a child and witness the magic of ‘instinctive inquisitiveness’. The child will first taste it, inspect it closely, will attempt to dismantle it into pieces and then try to join the scrambled pieces. This does not however mean, the child has understood the mechanism of car and its making. The kid shall however learn it well later, if this inquisitiveness is persisted and is transformed into a persistent art.

The world we come into is also like a toy to us, when we are child. Our natural inquisitiveness makes us experiment with the toy. We are just a ‘random warrior’ at that time. We may have initial successes, like some kids, who would be successful in joining back the dismantled pieces of the toy car. However, as we grow, we shall need objective knowledge to understand the ‘dynamics of mechanism’ of the toy called the ‘complex world’, we shall share with billions others. We shall need ‘specialization of artistry’ to be an all-weather and all-season Hero.

The crucial element, which converts our natural instinctive ‘eligibility’ into a cultivated and evolved ‘qualification’ is the ‘objective knowledge’ of the ‘mechanism’.

In my previous talks, in the form of the ebook titled, ‘Naked Solutions Of Dressed Up Life Woes’, we discussed about the ‘mechanism’ in periphery. Here, we shall focus primarily on mind-consciousness and it functional mechanisms in details, as it is within our minds that we shall find our true Hero.

It is the mind, which makes us a ‘random warrior’ and it is the same mind, which holds the potential of we being the all-weather and all-season Hero, the cherished pole-position, for which we all have born eligibility.

Mechanism Of Populism

At the very outset, it has to be admitted very humbly and innocently that the multidimensionality of ideas, the consciousness and the larger domain of sub-conscious mind can lead us to, can be resplendently astounding and even miraculous. That is why, it remains largely beyond the suffocatingly diminutive universe of human language and words we have designed.

Words, we have invented for our communication are largely successful, when they are used for actionable requirements. However, when it comes to using them for reception of wisdom, they are very restrictive in utility. Words are successful in societal-exchange domain, however often flop in the domain of personal and inter-personal utility.

Given the limitations of words
