Karma as the Source of Diversity

The vedas acknowledge divine karma as the origin of all creation, preservation, and destruction. However, since God does not have desires, unlike humans, he is not constrained by them. In the first chapter of the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad (1.6.1), we discover that karma is one of the three main causes of diversity, alongside name and form. The variety in names is a result of speech, and the variety in forms is a result of the eye, while the mind and body are the sources for the variety in actions. For every action, the body serves as the source, the controller, or the lord.  Within the body, the mind, speech, breath, organs of action, and organs of perception are regarded as the primary deities who receive sustenance from the body and carry out their respective functions. Nevertheless, we cannot solely depend on them to combat the impurities and the malevolent forces that can infiltrate our body, as they are susceptible to evil and demonic influences, thoughts, desires, temptations,...

Reaction of a Father for his Son from the blog




It's a true story, one of my respected blog reader who's a father asked me "Teach this to my son how to get success in life. He is not taking interest in his studies."

This seems to be a very common problem in current era. But, before getting to the solution we shall first know few important points about the psychology, as this is the initial cause of the problem.
Lewis Yablonsky, Ph D and professor emeritus of sociology at California State University Northridge says as painful as it is for both parties, this adolescent mutiny is an important part of a boy's development. Beginning in their early teens, boys begin to differentiate themselves from their fathers, often by openly rebelling against the home rule.

Some other forces conspiring against father-son bonding are cultural. Work frequently pulls men away from their families, which then adds divorce or separation, or a substitute of this would be a sudden change in the life style of father which directly or indirectly affects the son as he observes his father very closely and the cumulative effects of this various factors can leave a lingering distance between father and son.

Now, my thoughts which I shared with my respective reader, which were more for the parent then pointing out to the son.
  • The very first destructive and time consuming part of his life is wrong use of technology which is gaming. This gaming protection stems from the fact that in order for a young man to take a break as he grows older, he needs to release a chemical called the “neurotransmitter dopamine” by playing video games. However, playing video games causes the release of many chemicals that are harmful to your brain. So the conclusion from this question is, give him a mobile phone regularly, but the consequences will be harmful to his brain. This time his father will give him 100% attention and change the rules of the game. In fact, a father should be his son's best friend because his increasing love for his son will play a big role in his change.
  • Control your son's diet, the amount of junk food he eats will make him happy (this is another response of the brain). Give him 50% raw or cooked vegetables, this will make him mentally healthy.
Discipline should be as follows: 
  • The child should wake up at 5:30 in the morning and go to bed at 10:30 in the evening, plus an hour of exercise or outdoor activities, the presence of the father is required. support your son.
  • Introduce him to a group where you think he will thrive rather than being part of his current group, but remember: "A friend in need is a friend".
  • Reading should be a hobby because reading helps children's brains work better. But this requires parents to pay attention to what their church reads and understands. "Mandukya Upnishad" in 10th class, "Knowledge of Truth - Mahatma Gandhi" in 11th class and general books like "Rich Dad Poor Dad", "Power of Subconscious Mind", "Karma Yoga-" Swami "Vivekananda" should be well understood. Reached level 12.
We never grow until we accept our Father's plan. We want our father to bless us too and guide us into adulthood

SILENT MIND

What are we? Is our notion of self real? How does it come into existence? Is it the sum total of our experiences and awareness? Or is it a mere notion sustained by a few persistent memories, attachments and desires? Are we the sum total of a few selected thoughts and memories or all thoughts and memories? Are we sustained by a few aspects of our past or all our past? Do we come into existence by the association of these thought and memories, or do we exist without them? If we are a selection of thoughts and memories, what happens to us when we enter into deep sleep? Do we still exist then? Such were the questions the Upanishadic seers explored in ancient India several thousands of years ago to know the secrets of existence. In doing so they followed a very unique method to minimize the interference of the mind and transcend its limitations. They silenced their minds and allowed the higher knowledge to manifest itself in their consciousness. We can do it even today. There are two types ...

PRECAP FOR BETTER RECAP

Five core Upanishad philosophies that can be learnt for managing our day-to-day life much better and looking at this blog as a precap for a better recap for this optimistic new year. 1. Samsara, Reincarnation The concept of samsara is prevalent in the Upanishads. Samsara, Sanskrit for, “wandering,” is the cycle of being. It represents reincarnation, the concept adopted by several Eastern religions of being reborn after you die according to the karmic cycle. Regardless of our personal beliefs, there’s something important to be taken from the samsara. Samsara tells us that all of life is in flux. The great wheel of life continues to turn, and nothing is ever stagnant: This vast universe is a wheel, the wheel of Brahman. Upon it are all creatures that are subject to birth, death, and rebirth. Round and round it turns and never stops. Samsara suggests that energy cannot be destroyed or diminished. It is simply transmuted. And it really is quite a poetic perspective on the cycle of deat...

MUNDAKA UPANISHAD (PART 3-3)

THIRD MUNDAKA   FIRST KHANDA 1. Two birds, inseparable friends, cling to the same tree. One of them cats the sweet fruit, the other looks on without eating. 2. On the same tree man sits grieving, immersed, bewildered by his own impotence (an-isa). But when he sees the other lord (isa) contented and knows his glory, then his grief passes away. 3. When the seer sees the brilliant maker and lord (of the world) as the Person who has his source in Brahman, then he is wise, and shaking off good and evil, he reaches the highest oneness, free from passions; 4. For he is the Breath shining forth in all beings, and he who understands this becomes truly wise, not a talker only. He revels in the Self, he delights in the Self, and having performed his works (truthfulness, penance, meditation, &c.) he rests, firmly established in Brahman, the best of those who know Brahman. 5. By truthfulness, indeed, by penance, right knowledge, and abstinence must that Self be gained; the Self whom spotles...
