Change is constant !
I normally like to read the questions that people ask on different platforms- magazine,newspaper or internet.
One of the common problems I see is "I am XX yrs old and I've a boy/girl friend.We had good relation for past one year.Now s/he has started changing a lot'.
The same goes with my wife - she'll say the same. You're not the same at "that time'.
So I just wanted to share what I think on this:
Every human being is changing every moment - whether the person is aware or not. Every moment of life is showing something different.
You don't question when your son/daughter is changing in early years - this is natural.Then why not the same for the grown ups.
And whoever is having this concern - let them ask themselves - are they the same as they're yesterday. It can't be - you're elder by 24hrs,
You've seen something in these moments.If anyone can take a video session of a day and compare after 1 year , will it be the same - obviously not.
Now the point is how fast or slow we grow and whether we're present to that.Most of us are not aware of this growth.Then there is no point of accusing the other person.

Dhyan and Dharana - Focus and Belief
Two integral aspects about Patanjali's Yogasutra is Dhyan and Dharana.
I came to know about this when I started my meditation through RSVK.
At that time it seemed that this is something special and I need to
inculcate this in my life as these were not present.
When I was reading "An autobiography of a yogi" - this was given a
special importance - how to do your dhyan.
All of a sudden a new aspect has opened up for me regarding these two - there
is nothing new to these two aspects - we're already designed with these -it's
only that we're not 'aware' of. The whole life in face we run with these.
I was watching my son of 6 years - his whole day - from the time he wakes up
till he's asleep - his world is filled with BEN10 and aliens.There is absolutely
nothing else.He can speak, he can eat, he can sleep with BEN10/aliens.
Now if I see, the focus that he's having right now in his life is BEN10/aliens.
And the whole 'Dharana' about his life is guided with the world of aliens.
The point I wanted to make, everuone of us is glued with these two - whether we
can see or not - whether we agree or not.
Look into your life right now - what are you glued to -is it money, is it career,
is it sex, is it problem with your spouse, is it with some complaints about someone,
is it what'll happen tomorrow.....you'll see that you're glued - whether you like it
or not - you're stuck.
Check with yourself - is this what you really wanted when you're a kid - really to
become worried, really to become tensed, really to become nasty.HUH.What a way to live.
Still can you see what way you're not will to give up your "Dhayn and Dharana".
WAKE UP !!! SID did it - you can also do.Provided you're willing to allow yourself to do so.WAKE UP!!!
There is fantastic clip available from Youtube - it's a part of the movie "MATRIX". The point is -are you willing to wake up - the infinite possibilities of life is waiting for you !!!

2036
One of my father's dreams before dieing is to see that the end of communism.
I got a link http://www.johntitor.com/ where it looks that a person came from the year 2036 with a time machine to year 2000. Here he gives some hint about the history he knows in his time line.A part of it is:
"""""In 2015, Russia launches a nuclear strike against the major cities in the United States (which is the "other side" of the civil war from my perspective), China and Europe. The United States counter attacks. The US cities are destroyed along with the AFE (American Federal Empire)...thus we (in the country) won. The European Union and China were also destroyed. Russia is now our largest trading partner and the Capitol of the US was moved to Omaha Nebraska."""""
With the current scenario, by 2011 communism will end in West Bengal - and another 4 more years to get the end of China. HUH.
Few more interesting points the time traveler says:
There is no large industrial complex creating masses of useless food and recreational items.
Food and livestock is grown and sold locally.
People spend much more time reading and talking together face to face.
Religion is taken seriously and everyone can multiply and divide in their heads.
One of the biggest reasons why food production is localized is because the environment is affected with disease and radiation. We are making huge strides in getting it cleaned up. Water is produced on a community level and we do eat meat that we raise ourselves.
On my worldline, life is not easy. We live in a world recovering from years of war, poison, destruction and hate. All of it, courtesy of the thinking and actions of people that live right now in the same world you do, worrying about which stocks to buy or whether or not a stranger is lying to them on the Internet.
It's a interesting site - visit and grab some information regarding our future !!
Lift
My parking in the office is at -2. Three other persons also joined me.There are going to 0 while I'm moving to 1.
I enter the lift first then three guys. One of them who entered the last started pressing the button to close the door - I was watching that actually he is pressing the wrong one, that actually opens instead of closing. After doing that 3-4 times he's frustrated. He asks the fellow on the other side of the lift to push the close button - he does and door closes. The first guy says that the button on his side is not working - his friend says how will that work if you push the incorrect one. He is a bit ashamed - he glances towards me - I give him a smile. All of us laugh quietly.

Mantras Working Fine
Yesterday (A Sunday) my son wanted to have a Pizza - the offer going on is with 1Large, 1Medium free. Also my wife's (and son's too) favorite garlic bread was a demand. It was delivered at sharp 12:30 as I told the pizza shop. I took one piece and I was full - so I stopped. Next one more piece at around 4pm when I was hungry. Till now everything is going fine.
Now comes the surprise - we're invited for the dinner - Ganapati puja in my son's friend's house and we're invited. My wife informed me that the foods served in that house in fabulous. So I'm tempted.
Now in the dinner as a part of the prasad, I get halwa - and this is my real real favorite sweet.
I took all other things and the halwas was last - as I was done halfway, I got the message that I'm full - so I left eating at that moment.
When I come back home, I'm a bit worried whether it was too much today with pizza and prasad which included puri,sabzi,fried rice, dal,salad and halwa.
Anyway , today morning I'm standing in the weighing machine and a surprise..... 300gms down.
I know for sure that the mantras are working !!!

Want to lose weight !!
I got four mantras from net to lose weight and it's working - I've lost 4kg in last 2 weeks without any exercise. In fact, I gained back in between when I missed the mantras.
Here it goes:
1. EAT WHAT YOU WANT TO EAT BUT ONLY WHEN YOU ARE HUNGRY
2. EAT WHEN YOU WANT
3. STOP EATING WHEN YOU ARE "FULL"
4. EVERYTHING YOU PUT IN YOUR BODY IS GOOD FOR "YOU"
The biggest barrier that one will hit while following these mantras is that 'how can I waste food" - and this is the catch. The moment your body says that it's done, it's done - no question.
I've observed that these mantras are already available with my 6year old son - nature has already given it to all of us. Alas! we forgot those. So I was lucky that I remember those now - now it's your turn . Enjoy !
