1. What appears shining, can be mirage . . .
Dont trust what you are sold. what you are bieng told by someone,news,marketed it may present half truth, half pictureof the scenario.You are given brain to put things in right perscpective.
2. Don’t let someone else define your pursuit
or stop living on to someone else’s expectation People may give a lot of advice about what to do and what not,these advices are programmed to stay to sticked with routine,trend which may not be highest of what you wish to pursue before death.Live like a flower, an expression of joy, and pursue what you think is highest
in moment of pleasentness and clarity.
3. Death is the best teacher
In this limited span of life, even the sweetiest and compassionate of human beings die, and the most ambitious ones. At death, all psycological realities, etc leaves you, so better do something worthwhile even if involves vulnerability(Risk). Eg for me, people say do gre,take a job backup, but if I feel I want to begin a startup or start an NGO or mass movement, than dare it, after all you will not regret taking risk for something worthwhile. Family,friends, are sweet but sometimes for pursuit you need to come out of comfort zone
4. World is always mixed bag
Dont think I have to do something good or bad, think of doing something worthwhile. Every aspect of life in put in right context,can find most beautiful aspect. Eg an emotional person, if put on drugs or sex addition can find limited expression, but if put on intense artistic expression can find wonders.
5. Intensity and clarity is deadly combination
If you have clarity about what needs to be done, and if you are very intense in your pursuit, than things will work out, and you wont live a broken life, living in friction of not doing, something worthwile.
6. Logic works, but life is more than working
In the current context, we get fascinated,euphoric after looking videos of quantum physics, carbon brain,etc and think logic is everything but now most advanced concepts of logic,admit limitation of simple logical deduction. Eg Fuzzy logic. Life has many colors, logic is just one,small aspect of it to get things worked practicaly, in real time be it worthy or unworthy, and it is stupidity to think it alone as ultimate.
You can not say bethoven or violin is stupic as compared to logic, just because,it can’t explain mysteries of life in one line.in form of proof or tangable fact.It touches life in much more subtle levels in many ways. Many scientists were inspired by music,and irrational aspects like albert einstien with violin, leaonadro da-vinci, etc. I think of them more as genuine seekers.Many time we think something is true, and find some half logical explaination to it. Like hitler did great steriotyped research on Jews and nazi’s
7. There is always a way, most of the times.
No matter how stuck up you are, and you think in self abignation,that I can do nothing, next moment when you are happy, you discover a way. You just have to search for an alternative. But don’t be silly,of sticking to one thing long, like I saw some people giving an exam 2-3 times to get in IISc when they could have got in decent NIT,IIT.
8. Magical moments don’t happen by place.
It is not place, but you ,who must determine the course of your pursuit.You need to be clear about what is worthwile to pursue for you, and then use places, situations,opportunities as a stepping stone. Many times, including me, we thing, if we get into IIT or MIT or Google, things will happen. They definitely will happen, thier way. But many times, you are over-concerned about Tags, and reputation, than doing something meaningful in life. For example if I want to find expression in startup connected with Art, or community movement, it is unncessary to go about, IIT or MIT or Google, just to get tags. It makes you feel secure, but also makes you complacent, and you do uncessary delay of time, than to directly jump and start your initiative with intensity. If you perseve with intensity and clarity, even best of minds will be willing to collaborate with you, irrespective of IIT’s.
9. accept the differences in methods
Every brain is a unique combination, therefore ways in which things work for you may not works for someone else. So don’t be stupidly judgemental about someone else’s ability, rather try to find,how things work for him and encourage him on that track for best unfoldment. No point judging needle by standards of Sword. Both have thier use in some context, important is to identify, atleast for yourself.
10. World will work out its ways
You are not supposed to be worried about world too much,neither you are supposed to be unconcerned. Try to do reasonable contribution till you are capable of, with intesity and clarity. Rest leave it , because anyways you can do nothing more than that,world is self correcting system, it rebounds from unbalanced states soon, the only thing, you can do is try to make it happen in your lifetime, sooner.
11. Be honest with yourself
People will speak too many things, sometimes flattery or stupid with confidence. Or sometimes insult you, point out too many flaws according to thier expectation of correctness.but come in terms with reality as soon as possibly. In previous generations, religion used to eclipse/bias clarity by fanaticism and now half baked logic eclipses common-sense and color/bias our perception.The greatest threat to mankind today is not fanaticism by religion, but the fanaticism by science, rationality, logical thinking,making our mind so dull, that it becomes INCAPABLE of feeling or understanding irrational aspects of life ! Don’t trust any source of information no matter how appealing and convincing it looks than to your understanding
by looking at all multifaceted aspects of situation neutrally and with clarity
