'Dhyan' Meditation, the way to Satchidananda - Truth, Conscioussness and Bliss

Starting from a small answer I update this article regularly to make it upto date in order to to write the most effective way of meditation. Hence keep reading.... Love - Dhyan
A psychological analysis of Who am I?, What is purpose of life? What is meditation and what is the need of meditation anyway? and What is Real Happiness?
and in the process knowing about meaning of these terms:-
Thoughtless Awareness, Breathing Awareness, Mindless Consciousness Meditation
first of all read this conversation between Buddha and his discipline Ananda...
Ananda said to Buddha, "I have observed you for years and years together. It seems like a miracle: you sleep as if you are awake. You are in the same posture the whole night." The hand would not move from the place where it had been put; the leg would remain in the same posture. Buddha would sleep in the same posture the whole night. Not a single movement! For nights together ananda would sit and watch and wonder, "What type of sleep is this!" Buddha would not move. He would be as if a dead body, and he would wake up in the same posture in which he went to sleep. Ananda asked, "What are you doing? Were you asleep or not? You never move!" Buddha said, "A day will come, Ananda, when you will know. This shows that you are not practising anapanasati yoga rightly; it shows only this. Otherwise this question would not have arisen. You are not practising anapanasati yoga -- if you are continuously aware of your breath in the day, it is impossible not to be conscious of it in the night. And if the mind is concerned with awareness, dreams cannot penetrate. And if there are no dreams, mind is clear, transparent. Your body is asleep, but you are not. Your body is relaxing, you are aware -- the flame is there inside. So, Ananda," Buddha is reported to have said, "I am not asleep -- only the body is sleep. I am aware! and not only in sleep. Ananda -- when I die, you will see: I will be aware, only the body will die."
Now Continue......and Read this article for Knowledge and Awareness. Read like an interesting story and get a feeling of what you have read. Dont try to remember anything out of it...or think so much..... Just Read and Feel.

Question:- ...could you please let us know how to exactly do meditation? I alwsys try to do meditaion on regular basis but I am not sure how to exactly do because on internet some people say do it that way, some say do it other way. I have tried couple of ways and I dont feel sleepy at all during my working hours but before, I used to feel sleepy in office even this article has mentioned this benefit of meditaion. Still dude let us what do you feel about the correct way of meditaion?
Ans: Basant a one line answer can also be given for your question about best form of meditation which is “Mindless Consciousness” or “Thoughtless Awareness” or "Pranayam". But we should not accept anything until we do "Darshan" i,e Witnessing ourself. Hence Experiencing and witnessing is more important then accepting any meditation as a right or wrong.

"विचारो के परवाह में बहना भर नही ! बस जागे रहना ! जानना स्वयं को प्रथक और अन्य ! दूर और मात्र द्रष्टा ! जेसे राह पर चलते लोगो की भीड़ देखते हैं , ऐसे ही विचारो की भीड़ कोदेखना ! जसे पतझड़ में सूखे पतों को चारो और उड़ते देखते हैं, वैसे ही विचारो के पतों को उड्तेदेखना ! उनके करता बनना , उनके भोक्ता ! फ़िर शेष सब अपने आप हो जाएगा ! उस शेष को ही मैं ध्यान (meditation) कहता हूँ !" - Osho
If you dont have this Hindi font, then read Dhyan meaning at this image: Dhyan Meaning

Its simple English translation is:
Not flowing uncontrolled in the flow of thoughts. Remain Awake ! Know your being as separate and something else ! from far like Watchman ! Like we watch the crowd of people walking on the road, likewise Watch the crowd of Thoughts ! Like we watch the dried leaves flying all around in autumn, likewise Watch the leaves of Thoughts flying around ! Do not become their doer or their follower ! Then the remaining will Happen itself ! That what Remains is what I calls Dhyan (Meditation) ! - Osho
Thoughtless Awareness: This state of mind to watch thoughts with awareness till they disappears is called Thoughtless Awareness. and this दर्शन or Experience is what we call ध्यान, meditation.
This is very important to note that Dhyan or Meditation is not Concentrating on something. It is actually the opposite. i.e. Not Thinking of Anything.
Concentration will put actually more stress on mind which you want to relax.
Recently a doctor who wants to learn meditation asked me, "I know how to do meditation..but just tell me what to think of in meditation...what to concentrate in meditation?"
What she was understanding of meditation is actually a misconception generally in many people and also even in English dictionary it is written that "meditation is to concentrate on something.....". Actually there is no appropriate word in English for Dhyan as its origin is from ancient India only when it was called Dhyan in Sanskrit. Bhuddhists called it Jhan in their Pali Language about 2500 yrs ago. Bhuddhist took it to Tibet, China where it become Chan and in Korea it become Seon and in Japan, Zen. But the meaning of Dhyan remained the same in whole east.
Hence the meaning of Dhyan and Meditation should be understood first that it is not concentrating on something. It is actually letting
the mind free till it become empty itself.
Now in order to reach in this state of meditation i,e Thoughtless Awareness, mind and the self goes through some transformation and cleaning. These are the psychological changes take place in ones mind and beyond when he is starting doing meditation or Dhyan.

These simple psychological experience during meditation, in step by step, are:-
  1. Awakening
  2. De-conditioning
  3. Awareness
  4. Only Consciousness
  5. Self Realization of Truths
  6. Enlightenment
Sat-Chit-Ananda: Unconsciously the main purpose of anyones life after getting birth is Sat-Chit-Ananda i.e Truth-Consciousness-Bliss and the above 6 steps helps in getting that Ultimate Joy of Life. Sat is the Truth a meditator starts searching out of curiosity and awakening. Chit or Consciousness is the Truth what he found after meditation and Ananda or Bliss is what he experience at that moment. If naturally this realization happens to us then this is the best meditation otherwise just by reading this and other articles you already know about the meditation. What is more important is to know reasons and philosophy behind meditation and then you will realize yourself which is the best way of meditation specifically for you or anyone else. Even you can create a new technique for us. There are so many ways for meditation and it depends on the person's present state of mind that which is the best right now. Some person cannot do meditation at all and they need other person help to first go in hypnosis, for some even listening to music is a meditation and for some even their work has become a meditation and they dont need anything else.
Hence the best meditation is "Remain what you are"..just Live in the present moment..Live without any Fear, Guilt or Greed...Just Live... Smile...Laugh...Celebrate each moment.......You dont need to change yourself, You dont need to do anything new. And as you know the best meditation now, hence Stop reading this article further now and get back to your work.
But if you dont know who you are and want to know and understand better the process behind then first you have to understand the basic psychology of human being because most of the thing he does in his life are governed by unconscious mind like pumping of heart, contractions of muscles, breathing, reaction after touching fire etc. The vast amount of data stored at each moment in Unconscious mind plays a major role in deciding our false personality i,e "Who I am?"
  1. Need of Meditation : First of all the question itself is what is the need of meditation? And leave meditation what is the main reason behind our doing all other things in life. Happiness is only reason behind us doing any activity.
  2. Purpose of Life: The activity can be either higher education, working in big company, earning wealth, looking for bigger position and opportunity always, going to theater, playing sport or even listening to music, talking to girl or boy or even doing sex. The only answer is either we want to know something out of curiosity or we want Happiness and Joy. But then again after fulfilling our curiosity and gaining knowledge we feel Happiness. And no doubt that should be the purpose of life too. Some people can say they dont want only their happiness but are doing social service to make others happy. But then it is again a mechanism of brain that after doing this particular activity i.e social service they will feel Happiness.
    1. In real there is no Purpose of Life. It is just happens due to existence and if the direction of this energy flow is not stopped or diverted then it will pass through all different aspects of life energy forms and then ultimately merge into the infinite energy of existence. But this doesnt happen.
  3. Biggest Happiness: Now the question arises which is the biggest Happiness? Whether it is one of the above listed like food, education, money, power, sex? We go on looking for more... more money..more power..No doubt they also gives some happiness but this happiness is not the highest...it looks highest until ones awareness is inside the mind i.e Maya. You are under control of your thoughts and mind. Awake yourself and Become Aware so much that you can even watch and observe your mind and the thoughts coming. Then you are out of the Maya and the real journey of Happiness Begins actually now and which is real and is truth. Truth means which are universal. We can change our thoughts, our perception, our statement but Truth remains the same. When Kopernicus and Kaplor first time found the truth that Earth revolves around the Sun, Church didnt accepted it as it was against the Bible. But that couldnt change the Truth. Galileo used the Telescope to prove this Truth only to anger the Church. But Truth remains the Truth even if you dont know it.
  4. Truth Realization as Real Happiness: Yes we can know the Truth and feel the real Happiness if we utilize the full potential of our brain and beyond. We came to know the Truth after becoming aware and witnessing the infinite within as infinite outside. There is a whole lot of bigger infinite universe inside your brain. But this infinite is nothing, it is kind of vacuum with huge energy within, it is the Brahman space-time, the creator of the universe, the infinite energy where time stops. As soon as mind stops and you are aware of it, time also stops. Brahman is the fully aware emptiness with huge amount of energy within. Then we realize that The ultimate happiness is Anand, the Bliss, the Ecstasy which we feel now after our Consciousness merges with the plane of Brahman, its originator in the state of thoughtlessness and timelessness. You realize the Truth that Now you are not the Body, you are not the Mind, You are even not the Intuition, You are only the Consciousness which is at the energy center at navel. The connection of inner Consciousness with outer infinite Consciousness happens at the navel which is the connecting energy center between mother and the new creature inside the womb at the time of pregnancy. But unawake people remains unaware of most of the truths. Hence their perception of Happiness remains within their Maya or illusion of mind.
  5. No Mind Happiness: But why we actually search for Happiness in first place? If you just traverse at the whole life of a person the Happiest and the most Joyful moment for any living being is when it is in the Womb of the mother. This is the time when there is only joy and no worry. It floats in the water in which it has spent most part of its evolutionary life in ocean. Readymade food and oxygen supply. But the main reason for its happiness is that the brain doesn’t start to work until few months before its time of birth. Hence at this time there is NO MIND hence NO THOUGHTS, Hence the Highest level of HAPPINESS. This is the only time when there is only Consciousness as nothing to think about. This is the time when we are most close to the Godly energy i.e the infinite Universe within. The baby is connected to the mother’s body from its navel. Hence the first energy center which develops in the body is at naval and not the brain and throughout life navel remains the energy center of body. Even in terms of scientific calculation navel is the Center of Gravity of any body. See the navel at the center of circle in the Leonardo Da Vinci's Spread Eagle Painting at this link
    1. The important thing to note here is that inside the womb even without working of the brain, the body, heart, lungs and other organs of the baby are working. After 5-6 months in womb the brain starts working. And when child took birth it continue working and storing data which is mostly forced to him or her. And then for full time till the death the Mind doesn't stop working.
    2. Navel Dhyan: Navel is source of our energy, breathing, the Pran, the Jhana (just put your finger in naval and inhale and exhale fast you will know not lungs but navel is the source of breathing or Prana). Jhana or Dhyan or Zen is the same and when we say do 'Dhyan', it means taking your Awareness to the Navel center after stopping your mind. Actually there is no appropriate word in English for Dhyan. As explained earlier Meditation is used for Dhyan which is same. Hence Dhyan or meditation here means to stop mind and take awareness at the emptiness at navel, the source of Prana, the breathing, it is called consciousness, the Atman. Being Aware of Inhaling and Exhaling breathing is also called the 'Pranayam' as given in ancient Yoga books and now taught by Swami Ramdev and called as 'Anapanasati Yoga' in Bhudhism.
  6. Unconscious Search for Womb: Hence after taking birth for the full life unconsciously the child within us always wants to go to mothers womb or in a similar kind of experience for the ultimate happiness. And all its action throughout our life are unconsciously governed by this factor of Search for that Maximum Happiness. But he never gets the maximum as its mind is no more the same as it was inside the womb. He is always searching for comfort like in womb. He wants to automate everything like food, travel, home, AC like comfort in womb to make womb like environment.
  7. FEAR: After taking birth The first data which is fed to the child's mind which takes him away from his Natural Happiness and True Being is the FEAR. Unconsciously the whole life he is under some FEAR...though from outside he may look very calm. It was always warned that dont do this...if you eat this the Devil will come, if you will touch this...the Doggie will bite you and then in school if you will play you will be beaten..if you will learn music or some other creative work you will be the poorest in life..what will your parents think if they will know about your sin that you masturbate and watch porn?...what will your parents and society think if they know you have girl or boy friend?..and you did the biggest sin, sex too?..then after graduation if you will not do normal job and if you want to do research or phd....or you want to become something else which most of your others friend didnt become you wont have money and No girl will marry you...and if you will not go to mosque or church or temple God will punish you....or some fool people send the sms that if you will not forward this sai baba message to 12 people something bad will happen to you..and ...when young if you will marry the person of other caste of religion ...we will kill you or the society will..and in marriage if you will leave your dominating husband who drinks and beats you...what will the society say? who will accept you?.. ....and so on and so forth. And finally the biggest fear....the FEAR of DEATH.
    1. The Truth is in Real all these Fears and conditions imposed on after Birth are superfluous and unnecessary and they do more harm then anything good.
  8. GUILT:- But in whatever best possible way you try to follow these society superstitions, castes, religions and RULES, unconsciously you always have other desires, your creativity needs some freedom. But you keep on suppressing them thinking what my parents will say, what the society will say and this control and suppressions becomes a feeling of GUILT and it takes away most of the processing power of your neural network and mind. Your creativity is buried under this GUILT feeling. Recently I went to a marriage party with some of my Foreign friends which have come to see indian wedding. These girls with no fear and no guilt were the first to start dancing. And soon many other indian girls and elder woman joined them who were hesitating after breaking their fear. I was observing the faces of many other indian girls who didnt danced clearly showing the FEAR and GUILT at their face. Clearly they wanted to dance from inside but their mind didnt allow them to come out of this FEAR and GUILT. There was not even a sign of smile on their face. They have lost even their smile and happiness in this FEAR. From outside they looked normal but from inside they were dead.
    1. RAPE AND SOCIETY: If a girl is raped no doubt that is a crime and the maximum punishment should be given to the rapist but from girls point of view it is still a sexual act on body. But the society has created such a bad image about sex, virginity, sex before marriage, love marriage, inter caste marriage and the kind of eyes by which people even from her own family look at her makes her mind a SUFFOCATED JAIL with no light, no fresh air inside. It creates a high level of FEAR and GUILT inside her mind and she is DEAD now. Actually not dead but KILLED by the Society and its SUPERSTITIONS. Otherwise just look at some other angle. She takes some necessary medicines and testing. Her mind says whatever happened has happened and her body, mind and soul are still with her. She can forget the past and it is like nothing has happened. The society and even family and relatives dont look at her with some pity and help. She is alright, CHEERFUL, DANCER, SINGER and Happy as she was earlier and she can do all the work and she can go anywhere as she was going earlier. Understand this the so called people who come and talk to help her from family and society do much more harm to her then any other thing by making feel her mind FEAR, GUILT and IMPURE. Remove these thoughts and it is Ms. Pretty and Ms. CHEERFUL as always.
  9. CONDITIONING: This State of living with FEAR and GUILT is called CONDITIONED MIND. Now you have forgotten completely your true self. Whats your personality now is and what other people thinks about you is what picture of you your mind portraits and falsely created by its thoughts and actions. And your mind is not real. It is just a bundle of thoughts and conditions imposed on them by society.
    1. Roles of School in Conditioning the Mind: Most of the content of school are most to memorize the facts then to understand, analyze the concepts and proving and further working on them using reasoning and creativity. And it is very unfortunate that mostly the criteria for intelligence of any child is linked to the marks he scores. Even if he scores 90% he is told it is not enough. But the creative part of his work is often ignored and not considered as a factor for his intelligence and position. Hence it is often seen that generally the highly creative children which want to do something in painting, music, astronomy, scientific experiments and toys, sports, if scores less in class are often condemned and beaten by the parents and the teachers. This is the worst thing which can happen to the mind of a child to make it highly conditioned and to suppress his creative energy.
    2. De-conditioning is the only to get rid of Conditioned Mind and know your true being. De-conditioning means removing the glass filter of Mind to look at things and everything happening around us in this society, the world and the universe its entirety, beauty and reality. Then you will be able to see the TRUTHS and FALSE RULES. Then you will see how beautiful this whole natural existence is.
    3. Generally De-conditioning doest happen to Unawake people and the people who are always unconscious, fighting with others for small and insignificant things like ego, greed, anger, money, caste, religion etc.
      1. Thats why Meditation is the easiest and natural way to become Awake and Awake and get rid of Unwanted Conditioning of our Mind and to remove almost all problems of worlds like Violence, Hatred, Wars, Women and Child Abuses etc. And also if all people can understand each other then even solutions to problems like pollution and global warming etc can be found and implemented easily.
  10. UNNATURAL DEATH: These people whose mind is so much conditioned and they have truly forgotten their true self dont die naturally. Most doctors and people will say it was natural death. They die unconsciously when their mind refuses to carry these unnecessary conditions further. Their awareness remained buried under unconscious mind. They didnt get Happiness throughout their life which can be satisfy their mind. This is something similar to like in Matrix when the brains or Neo and others were connected to the Matrix then it is all the mind game. If they die in mind, their body also dies. Understand that this whole body is so much controlled and affected by mind that 80% of diseases are created by mind only. I am not talking of psychological problems but even problems like heart attach, diabetes, liver or kidney failure, loose of eye sight and hearing, weakness in body at old age etc. Unconsciously the start of failure of brain leads to many hormonal imbalances, creation of those hormones and antibodies are actually controlled by brain and imbalances of these creates all forms of diseases.
    1. Hence Dieing with Unconscious Mind, Conditioned Mind, with Unawareness cannot be a Natural Death.
    2. An Awakened and Aware person who is in a state of meditation, also increases his brain power and also it has been found that how meditation is even effective in curing AIDS and meditation also improves the immune system. In these 2 recent articles it is proved using scientific research and data.
    3. Rather if one of Awakened and Aware and he sees death as Leaving the Body, can even master the Death and its timing and as Buddha said in the start of this post "If I am aware, my Body will die, I am not". This is the only Natural Death which is under awareness.

False Personality: Hence now you must have understood how since the time baby is in the Womb, when its Born, when the child mind start conditioning by parents, society, and then ultimately he has lost his identity completely in some kind of many of his actions which he did because of fear and he didnt want to do in real like forced marriage etc which he has to undergo and this conditioned mind is the only reason of his Unnatural Death and he never knew what Happiness is and What Orgasmic Happiness and Ecstasy is. Hence now you have to decide whether you want to know your true self or not? Read some more to understand how to Witness Your True Being Yourself including some psychology behind it.
  1. AWAKENING : You are already Awakened if you are reading this article and wants to know your true self or the Truth. When you become curious to know something, the reasons behind everything, and always search for truths among the random data, and You Starts asking genuine Questions, that means you are Awakening. Awakening is needed to breaks the unnecessary conditions in our conditioned mind.
  2. DECONDITIONING:
    1. If you want to know about your true self...your true being...DECONDITION your mind by awakening and asking questions. This process will free your mind which leads to awareness. Deconditioning doest mean that you will forget anything rather your intution and creativity will become so strong that you can take any decision and action much quickly and those will be the best decisions in any particular moment. If you want to decondition yourself do this....as you are reading this...just at once think that your mind is a bundle of thoughts, wrong rules and superstitions and Break them atonce. Free yourself from all these rules which you have learned since childhood either at home, school, society of religious gurus. Now what is left is only pure Creativity. Deconditioning means removing the glass filter of Mind to look and speak at things and then Looking at everything in this world in its entirety, beauty and reality. Then you will see how beautiful this whole natural existence is.
    2. In reality Each child is unique in itself. It has so much tremendous creative energy that if his mind is not fed up with FEAR and unwanted superstitions of the family and society, he can do any work and it will be thorough work and with Best Quality which is good for him also and the development of the society also.
    3. Deconditioning doesnt implies that as he will not follow any rule and he can do some crime. Actually when he is under Full Awareness and Deconditioning he cannot do any harm to anyone as he can see the Truth within and outside. Rather now he will even leave his wrong intentions even if he carried them earlier even before Deconditioning. Now he can clearly identify the Truths, the Karma and the Dharma.
  3. Awareness:
    1. Full Awareness can only Happen after DE-CONDITIONING
    2. In an earlier article (From Unconsciousness to Consciousness) It is explained that we use only 10% of our mind which is conscious and 90% of our mind which is unconscious remain hidden as that 90% of the brain power is consumed in Taking Care of these FEARS which are stored permanently inside our unconscious mind.
    3. Only Awareness is the process by which we can convert our unconscious mind into conscious mind and that state is what we call Thoughtless Awareness or Mindless Consciousness.
  4. Breathing Technique, Pranayam, Anapanasati Yoga
    1. This is the best technique to become Aware. To become aware one has to come out of the Maya of Mind. Mind should become thoughtless and you still should be aware of it, rather watching it. But initially it is not easy to become thoughtless hence one can start by Witnessing Breathing.
    2. Become Aware of your breathing while you Inhale and Exhale. This is the best way to become thoughtless because as soon as you become aware of your Breathing your thoughts disappear.
    3. You can become aware of only one thing at a time Either Breathing i.e Prana or the Thoughts.
    4. Anulom-Vilom and Kapal-Bhati Pranayam promoted widely by Ramdev are also very effective in becoming aware of Breathing and becoming thoughtless.
  5. Thoughtless Awareness or Mindless Consciousness
    1. The person is in Full Awareness and there are no thoughts. This is the state of No Mind and pure consciousness.
    2. Our mind is 24 hours in thinking. Even when you sleep your conscious mind stop working but your unconscious mind is still working and thats why dreams come while in sleep. Thoughtless Awareness means thoughts from both conscious as well as unconscious mind disappears and it becomes a one full and single Consciousness.
    3. Emotions are the byproduct of Conditioned Mind. If the person has deconditioned his mind and become aware he has overcome all his emotions. Now the Default state of being is Extreme Happiness and Love.
  6. Absolute Consciousness, Max. Happiness, Bliss and Benefit in Real Life:
    1. Prolong Orgasmic Happiness: If you want to understand the extent of Happiness at this state of full Consciousness, sex is the best example. Actually sex is the momentarily meditation which people do in order to get that happiness and relief which unconsciously everyone is looking for after birth. Orgasmic Happiness at this Aware Consciousness is similar to the momentary happiness and extreme relief a person feels at the climax of sex i.e Orgasm. The similarity between these two different kind of Orgasmic Happiness is that in both cases the Mind Stops, the Thoughts Stops for some time and hence the Biggest Happiness. The difference between sexual orgasm and Happiness in Pure Consciousness is :-
      1. In sexual orgasm the direction of energy flow is outwards and one has to loose energy out of the body to feel relaxed while in meditation orgasm the direction of energy is inward and the infinite energy and Consciousness inside merges with the infinite Consciousness outside.
      2. and the sexual orgasm pleasure last only for few seconds while the Happiness, Bliss, the Ecstasy at this stage of Meditation lasts for many hours, days or can remain forever. It is like whole life you were thinking that your town (sex) is the biggest place you imagined by your conditioned mind while at this meditation stage (Bliss) you are getting an infinite wide Universe Space to traverse.
      3. Hence the Orgasmic Happiness during Meditation is far better then that in Sex. Thats why after witnessing that experience of Absolute Consciousness we become free of sex. Now no need to suppress your sexual desires. One can do sex if it is needed for procreation but for Orgasmic Happiness he has much better option now.
      4. Those people who force them to become celibate without actual understanding whole of the above process of how to reach at "Sex Free" state are actually the wandering Dynamite. You listen to any religious guru and they will say "Control your desires.. control your sexual desires", "Sanyam Karo". They are creating wandering Sex Bombs. Because when they control their sexual desires it gets buried deep into their unconscious mind though from outside they will look Mahatma or Saint but they have to be always alert of it and if they are alert it means actually unconsiously they are always thinking of it. Thats why they always avoid woman because they know it can explode any time.
      5. Hence the best thing is to go into Dhyan by understanding the above psychology and let your sexual thoughts come and then disappear themselves. It is like you are watching a road where people are coming and going. Let these thoughts also pass by. They are just like any other thoughts. Dont control or suppress them.
    2. Full of Bliss and Laughing: When you will reach in Absolute Consciousness First time you will witness such kind of Bliss inside. From now onwards you will always laugh and will remain unaffected to anything. Laughing is the best way to live life. Now you are so full of love and happiness that it will start pouring outside and hence you can give and spread love and happiness to others.
      1. Silence is a Truth: laughing is a life and silence is a truth for a person in Dhyan
      2. Max. Brain Utilization: Just imagine if you do this 'Dhyan' and we are able to use say 40, 50 or 80 % of your brain you will be the next Albert Einstein or anytop researcher or successful person in any field you want to work.
      3. Natural Concentration: And now with Deconditioned mind and Full Awareness whatever work you will do it will become meditation. As you are not thinking anything else hence it will be a natural concentration on anything you are working on and not the forced concentration.
  7. Whatever you do is meditation: Now Everything is a meditation be it Dancing, Singing, Music Listening, Painting, Gardening, Studying, Traveling, Farming, Programming, Cleaning, Cooking, Washing, Playing, Driving, Bathing, Laughing, Loving and Even Sex is Meditation and it will last hours and one can fully utilize Kaamsutra with full awareness.

Now if you have understood the reasons behind the need and the psychology behind doing anything in life and also the meditation you can choose any creative activity for yourself which you enjoy the most. Normally a person can understand the simple reasons given above and can start the meditation or Dhyan. But some people are in so much deep sleep with their highly conditioned mind which do not even allow them to sit, read, talk and understand comfortably, means they are drunk and unconscious under emotions and fears. Hence for them some other psychological method is required so that they can come out of their unconsciousness and deep sleep.

  1. Dynamic Meditation for people who cannot sit in Dhyan: Osho has given this very good technique of meditation for the people who are under lots of stress and are not ready to do Dhyan Meditation as they cannot Awake, Decondition and Aware by themselves. Dynamic meditation is also the Sanjivini or life Saving for the people who are under Severe Depression and on the verge of suicide. Osho has given these 5 steps in this dynamic meditation which involves rigorous physical activity to take more oxygen inside to clean the blood, give more oxygenated blood to brain and also it awakens the Kundilini Energy. There should be a fast rock kind of music running while doing this. Each step is for 10-15 minutes.
    1. Fast Breathing - Fast inhaling and exhaling
    2. Gibrish - Shout and Cry as much as you can. Express your full anger...Abuse to those people who has done highly wrong and injustice to you.....take a knife and mentally kill them....cut into pieces....make any kind of sounds... Then Weep..Cry...and Laugh..Laugh as much loud as you can...Move your body parts randomly..release all your anguish, anger and energy from your unconscious mind
    3. Jump with the music while making sound of Ho-Ho continuously...

    1. The 90% unconscious mind merges with 10 % conscious mind and becomes full Conscious
    2. Aware about your Breathing as it inhales and exhales, Follow it
  6. Full Creativity and Intuition
    1. With such a huge network of neurons which were in unconscious territory are all accessible by conscious mind with huge bandwidth of communication. It is pure creativity at work.
    2. Aware about Inhaling-Exhaling Breathing and reach the source
    3. Highest Happiness
    4. Cannot Stop Laughing.
    5. Great Sense of Humor. Humor is the byproduct of Creativity.
  7. Absolute Consciousness
    1. After breathing now become aware of Breathing source, the Prana energy center.
    2. Now the awareness reaches the navel energy center. Its pure Consciousness with Awareness.
    3. Self-Realization of Truths starts happenings. Einstein and other scientist and inventor found about untold truth at this state.
    4. Always smiling.
  8. Inner Consciousness Merges with the Plane of Outer Consciousness (Atman meets Pramatman, the Brahman, the creative energy of universe)
    1. Some people call this state as Witnessing God like Shiva-Shakti which is one when merged. Actually Shiva and Shakti complements each other when merged becomes the Brahman, the infinite energy of universe which is everywhere. When there is nothing there is Brahman, the Unified Field, the Super-String Field. Is the merging of particle-antiparticle, electron-positron fields to create only one energy wave, related to this?
    2. One is All and All is One. Non-dualism principle.
    3. This is the Ultimate Truth, witnessing the Godliness, the creative energy.
    4. Now you are part of the Global Consciousness surrounding the earth. Now you can communicate with other people on this plane with the speed of light. As this plane is infinite hence your consciousness can create a ripple in this 'Brahman' space-time towards your friend which can travel at the speed of light. How Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Quantum Mechanics mystery 'Entanglement' are related to this concept? (Some food for thoughts here Are we connected by Entanglement?)
    5. Love and Spiritual Energy starts pouring outside of the Body.
  9. Anand, Bliss and Ecstasy
    1. Enlightened
    2. Becomes like a child. God energy is always more near to children.
    3. Extreme Bliss like in a womb
    4. One of my relative has met Dalai Lama once and spent some time with him. He told me that Dalai Lama is just like a child, so innocent and always smiling. His face, voice and even his presence gives some kinds of spiritual energy. He is in this state.
  10. Life is Celebration
  1. No fear, No Guilt, No Greed, No Anger, No Stress. Only Joy.
  2. Now one can do any work or job which he was doing earlier or wants to do now as a normal human being. You can create music, songs, scripts, paintings, movies, mantras, medicines, theories, new dishes, new laws and truths, ideas, company, procreation of extraordinary child using sex, machines, robots, and also logically at the highest level of creativity one can create living and non living beings. Taking this concept further with your infinite power of consciousness you can even create Big Bang and the Universe. As such there is no God but now logically God as a Superintelligent, SuperCreative, SuperEnlightened Being in the state of Breathlessness and Timelessness cannot be ruled out completely. (Related Videos: Power of Brain and Universe and Is Quantum Physics and Consciousness connected?)
  3. With this immense Bliss, he will always be in in Awareness, Balance, Happiness and Smiling all the time even at his death.
Hence completed the natural process of 'Dhyan' or 'Meditation' as the way to know our true being which is:
"You are not the Body, You are not the Mind, You are even not the Intuition,
You are only the Consciousness"
and witnessing the natural flow of our life by process of:
"Sat-chid-ananda - Truth - Consciousness - Bliss"

Meditation slows AIDS progression


Meditation May Slow HIV Immune Effects

By Michael Smith, North American Correspondent, MedPage Today
Published: July 25, 2008
Reviewed by Dori F. Zaleznik, MD; Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine, Harvard Medical School, Boston.

LOS ANGELES, July 25 -- Stress-reducing meditation may slow the progression of HIV, researchers here said.

In a small, randomized controlled trial, an eight-week course of "mindfulness meditation" halted the decline in the number of CD4-positive T cells in recently diagnosed HIV patients, according to David Creswell, Ph.D., of the Cousins Center for Psychoneuroimmunology at the University of California Los Angeles and colleagues.

However, there was no observable effect on HIV viral load, possibly because the study included only 67 people, the researchers reported online in Brain, Behavior, and Immunity.
Action Points  

  • Explain to interested patients that there is some evidence that stress can affect the immune system, which is the target of HIV infection.

  • Note that this preliminary study showed that an eight-week course of meditation, combined with practice at home, can slow the decline in the number of CD4 lymphocytes, which is a hallmark of HIV progression.
Although more study is needed, the results "provide a promising first indication that mindfulness meditation may have benefit as a complementary adjunct treatment for HIV-1," the researchers concluded.

The meditation technique is group-based and inexpensive, Dr. Creswell said in a statement, so that if the study is replicated it could be a low-cost way to improve treatment.

The researchers recruited 67 recently diagnosed HIV patients in the Los Angeles area and randomized them on a two-to-one basis to either the eight-week course or a one-day seminar on the same topic.

During the eight-week course, participants had weekly two-hour group sessions guided by an instructor, a day-long retreat in the seventh week, and 30 minutes of daily audio-guided practice at home.

Patients in the control arm had a one-day session outlining the same information, but the instructors did not suggest daily routines at home.

The endpoint of the study was change in CD4 cell count from baseline.

Using mixed effects linear models, the study showed a significant time versus treatment interaction both on log-transformed and raw CD4 cell counts, at P=0.02 and P=0.03, respectively.

Specifically, the treatment participants had a raw average increase of 20 CD4 cells, compared with an average decline of 185 cells for those in the one-day control session, the researchers found.

The effect of antiretroviral medication, either on or off treatment, did not affect the strength of the time versus treatment interaction, the researchers said.

To attempt to measure the clinical effect, the researchers compared the post-study rate of CD4-defined AIDS -- a CD4 count of fewer than 200 cells per cubic millimeter of plasma -- in both groups.

None of the participants had CD4-defined AIDS at baseline and none of those in the treatment group reached that state after the study.

In contrast, two of the control participants had a CD4 cell count below 200 after the study ended.

The difference in HIV RNA levels at baseline was not significant and the study was unable to detect any differences between the groups after the study, Dr. Creswell said.

Limitations of the study included its small size, a relatively high attrition rate, and absence of long-term follow up, the researchers said.

The study was supported by the National Institute of Mental Health, the Cousins Center for Psychoneuroimmunology, and the UCLA General Clinical Research Center. The researchers reported no conflicts.

Meditation builds up the brain

Meditating does more than just feel good and calm you down, it makes you perform better – and alters the structure of your brain, researchers have found.

People who meditate say the practice restores their energy, and some claim they need less sleep as a result. Many studies have reported that the brain works differently during meditation – brainwave patterns change and neuronal firing patterns synchronise. But whether meditation actually brings any of the restorative benefits of sleep has remained largely unexplored.

So Bruce O’Hara and colleagues at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, US, decided to investigate. They used a well-established “psychomotor vigilance task”, which has long been used to quantify the effects of sleepiness on mental acuity. The test involves staring at an LCD screen and pressing a button as soon as an image pops up. Typically, people take 200 to 300 milliseconds to respond, but sleep-deprived people take much longer, and sometimes miss the stimulus altogether.

Ten volunteers were tested before and after 40 minutes of either sleep, meditation, reading or light conversation, with all subjects trying all conditions. The 40-minute nap was known to improve performance (after an hour or so to recover from grogginess). But what astonished the researchers was that meditation was the only intervention that immediately led to superior performance, despite none of the volunteers being experienced at meditation.

“Every single subject showed improvement,” says O’Hara. The improvement was even more dramatic after a night without sleep. But, he admits: “Why it improves performance, we do not know.” The team is now studying experienced meditators, who spend several hours each day in practice.

What effect meditating has on the structure of the brain has also been a matter of some debate. Now Sara Lazar at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, US, and colleagues have used MRI to compare 15 meditators, with experience ranging from 1 to 30 years, and 15 non-meditators.

They found that meditating actually increases the thickness of the cortex in areas involved in attention and sensory processing, such as the prefrontal cortex and the right anterior insula.

“You are exercising it while you meditate, and it gets bigger,” she says. The finding is in line with studies showing that accomplished musicians, athletes and linguists all have thickening in relevant areas of the cortex. It is further evidence, says Lazar, that yogis “aren’t just sitting there doing nothing".

The growth of the cortex is not due to the growth of new neurons, she points out, but results from wider blood vessels, more supporting structures such as glia and astrocytes, and increased branching and connections.

The new studies were presented at the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting, in Washington DC, US.

Just to be Born is Not Enough to be Alive

Someone said, "people visiting here ask, WHY DO WE LEAD SUCH A RICH LIFE?
Osho:-

- Life means abundance, richness, in every possible dimension. Just look at existence. Do you think it is poor? Look at the millions of flowers, their fragrance; look at the millions of stars. Man has not been able yet to count them, and I don't think he is ever going to be able to count them. With your bare, naked eye you only see, at the most, three thousand stars -- and that's nothing. And these stars are expanding. Just as a flower opens up and the petals start going away from the center, the universe is continuously flowering, blossoming, opening -- and with a tremendous speed. The stars are going farther away from the center. We don't know exactly where the center is; but one thing is certain, that the whole universe is running fast, moving, alive.
Those people who ......(ask that question) don't know what life is for. They have never lived. Yes, they have been born; but just to be born is not enough to be alive. They will vegetate and think they are living. And one day they will die, without ever having lived at all. These are the miracles that go on happening all around the world; people who have never lived, die -- such an impossibility! But it happens every day. And many have recognized it at the moment of death, and have said it is so, that "it is strange; for the first time I am realizing that I missed life."
If you live, for what? To love, to enjoy, to be ecstatic -- otherwise why live at all?
And what is 'richness'? -- just making life more and more enjoyable, more and more lovable, more and more comfortable, more and more luxurious.
The man who knows nothing of the great world of music is poor; he is missing one of the greatest luxuries of life. The man who does not know how to enjoy Picasso, van Gogh, does not know anything about the colors. If he cannot enjoy Leonardo da Vinci, how can he enjoy a sunrise, a sunset? Millions of people go on living, never recognizing a sunrise, never stopping for a moment to look at a sunset and all the colors that the sunset leaves behind in the sky. Millions of people never raise their eyes towards the sky and the splendor of it.
Living can only mean one thing: living life multidimensionally -- the music, the poetry, the painting, the sculpture... but it is all luxury. I am not a worshipper of poverty; I worship luxury. And existence is luxurious, abundantly luxurious. Where one flower will do, millions of flowers blossom.  Have you ever felt that existence is miserly? What is the need of so many stars?
If these fools who ask you the question, if they meet the creator they believe in, they will ask, "What is the need of so many stars? Why this luxury? A few less won't do? What is the need of so many birds, animals, human beings?"

.......................................................... 
I teach you to live tremendously, ecstatically, in every possible way. On the physical level, on the mental level, on the spiritual level, live to the uttermost of your possibility. Squeeze from each single moment all the pleasures, all the happinesses possible, so that you don't repent later on that, "that moment passed and I missed." Do not think of the past, because in thinking about the past you will be missing the present moment, which is the only moment, which is all that exists. And don't think of the future: of another life, of the kingdom of God -- all sheer nonsense.
Tomorrow does not exist at all. It is always today -- always and always today.
It is always this moment. So squeeze it. Don't leave any juice in it. Once you learn to squeeze all the juice out of it, you will never think of the past. What is there left to think of? Then the past leaves no traces on you. It is only the unlived past which becomes your psychological burden.
Let me repeat: the unlived past... those moments which you could have lived, but you have not lived... those love affairs which could have flowered, but you missed... those songs which you could have sung, but you remained stuck to some stupid thing and missed the song.... It is the unlived past which becomes your psychological burden, and it goes on becoming heavier every day.
That's why the old man becomes so irritable. It is not his fault. He does not know why he is so irritable -- why every thing and each thing irritates him, why he is constantly angry, why he cannot allow anybody to be happy, why he cannot see children dancing, singing, jumping, rejoicing, why he wants everybody to be quiet -- what has happened to him.
It is a simple psychological phenomenon: his whole unlived life. When he sees a child start dancing his inner child hurts. His inner child was somehow prevented from dancing -- perhaps by his parents, his elders, perhaps by himself because it was respected, honored. He was brought before the neighbors and introduced: "Look at this child, how quiet, calm, silent; no disturbance, no mischief." His ego was fulfilled. Anyway, he missed. Now he cannot bear it, he cannot tolerate this child. In fact it is his unlived childhood that starts hurting. It has left a wound. And how many wounds are you carrying? Thousands of wounds are in line, because how much have you left unlived?
So the people who come here...(and ask the question), they come here almost dead, carrying their own dead bodies here. When they see you alive, they are shocked. They would have been immensely happy if they had seen ascetics sitting under juniper trees, naked, starving, praying to God, who does not exist. They would have been immensely happy, because then you were far more dead than they were; in comparison they have managed better than you. They would have respected you because you helped them to feel better. When they come to visit here, seeing you, they feel themselves empty, spent -- meaninglessly. It hurts. It hurts deeply, hence the question, "Why do you live so rich a life?"
But richness is your birthright.
You have not come with anything written on your forehead. You can go to the surgeon and let him look into your forehead. Nothing is written there, and nothing is written in the lines of your hand. You come in this world absolutely like a plain, unwritten, open book. You have to write your fate; there is nobody who is writing your fate. And who will write your fate? And how? And for what? You come in the world just an open potentiality, a multidimensional potentiality. You have to write your fate. You have to create your destiny. You have to become yourself.
You are not born with a readymade self. You are born only as a seed, and you can die also only as a seed. But you can become a flower, can become a tree. And out of one seed there can come millions of seeds. Do you see the abundance and richness of existence? One seed can make the whole earth green, the whole universe green -- what to say of the earth! Just one seed... how much potential is carried in a single small seed! But you can keep it in your safe, bank account, and live a life which is not life at all.
I am all for richness in every possible way. And remember that richness is possible only if you allow it in all the ways.
Do not be deceived by the old idea that you will be spiritually rich if you starve your body; if you physically torture your body you will be spiritually rich -- no. It is absolutely unscientific. I have seen people who have tortured their body their whole life, but I have not seen their soul being enriched by it. In fact their soul has died long ago.
Your body and soul are not enemies. They live in harmony.
You are a harmonious whole. Everything is integrated with everything else. You cannot make one part rich and another part poor. The whole becomes affected, becomes either poor or rich. You have to accept your wholeness.
So live, and live intensely. Burn the torch of your life from both the ends together. Only such a man can die blissfully, smiling.
A master was dying... it was just the last moment. His disciples had gathered. One disciple asked, "Master, you are leaving us. What is your last message?"
The master smiled, opened his eyes, and said, "Do you hear the squirrel running on the roof?" Then he closed his eyes, died. The disciples were at a loss... what kind of message is this? "Do you hear the squirrel running on the roof?" But that was his whole life's message: just the moment. At that moment he was enjoying the squirrel. Who bothers about death? And who bothers about the last message? He was in the moment, herenow. And that was his message: don't move anywhere else, just remain here and now. Even at the moment of death... the sound of the squirrel on the roof, and he enjoyed it.
Now, such a man must have lived immeasurably, immensely, incredibly. No regret, sheer gratitude... smiled -- what else do you want as a last message? A smile is enough. And to smile at the door of death is possible only if there are not unlived moments standing in a row behind you, pulling, asking you, "What about me?"... those incomplete moments.
But if there is nothing incomplete, every moment has been completed, there is nothing; it is just silence. And if every moment is completed, there is nothing in the future either, because it is only the incomplete moment which asks for tomorrow: if you have not been able to fulfill it yesterday, fulfill it tomorrow. But if there is no yesterday incomplete, then there is no projection for tomorrow. Then this moment is all.

Is God Dead?


This picture is taken during Sudan Famine and is quite widespread over emails and probably you must also have seen it before. If you believe in God then Just think a little but more deeply and tell me what the more urgent work God was doing in heaven when this child was dying... Everyone says children are the reflection of God .... So how can a God keep looking at this small, innocent child dieing and that due to hunger....and then eaten by vulture may be even before died fully...

If god can create this world, the earth, the sun and the universe and all the living beings.. why cant he create enough food for all of them.... If God is Perfect why did he create an imperfect world with so many sufferings?

Where is God anyway?
Is God Dead now?
or he was never in real....is God a Fiction of the religious businessman and thieves who uses its name to run their shop be it Church, Mosque or Temples?
or God is a Director of the movie 'The World' like the Matrix in which we all are playing our roles...be it good or bad..and everyones fate is already decided....like Oracle knew everything?

No doubt many God like Enlightened people have been seen on the earth which came to help the needy and gave them a message to live happily and peacefully like Krishna, Buddha, Osho (exactly at the interval of 2500 years). That was real and still such people are with us which guide us. But is God the 'ONE' who is always looking at you from somewhere in the sky and who knows everything beforehand? or is the philosophy and the message which he gave is more important if we want to live our life more happily and peacefully? 


Is this the same fictious God for which muslims are killing innocent people all over the world? When will they realize the Truth that the Existence and the Creativity itself is God. There is no need to fight for it. It is evolving itself. 

The message given by many enlightened soul in East is very clear about God. It is the Sat-Chit-Anand i.e Truth-Consciousness-Bliss. Everyone has it in their inside. One has to know its source by Meditation and Awareness. Meeting God is the Realization of the Truth that You are not the Body, You are not the Mind, You are only the Consciousness which is beyond body and mind.

By looking at the above picture if you still think that God is alive somewhere listens to your prayers then request him that he helps those who needs it the most especially the poor and the children. Probably you can forward this Picture to your god if he says that "I am always with you...you dont worry". It is said that God help those who help themselves...ask him why he cant help those who cannot help themselves...like the child above !

Why all Nice Girls go to the Bad Guys?

The article below is written and sent to me by my friend who is an Engineer and who is one of the most intelligent guy I have ever met. It expresses beautifully the present situation in society about Why all Nice Girls go to the Bad Guys? and the good guys busy in research work and helping society and country by doing creative work remains single most of the time. He requested anonymity hence I am not  writing his name along with this article.

Nonmales

It is interesting to speculate on the reasons that make females so anxious to debase themselves. Though they would never admit it openly. But it is quite obvious from their actions. Apart from other things, it is quite obvious from their mating behavior. Human females, like most other mammals, have the responsibility to select the opposite sex. The selection mechanism is the same as the natural selection process, i.e. the survival of the fittest. The nature has designed this entire system so that the best genes are carried to the future species. This has been the selection mechanism for all the other animals, which has triggered the evolution of species and the variety of life forms on earth. This fundamental reason of natural selection has been the key factor in deciding the behavior of the female animals in all the species. The best genes in case of animals are of course of the strongest animals in terms of physical parameters. So the female animals select those male animals, which win over other males in the battle preceding sex. In other words the strongest and the most influential of the males have the first right to sex in animal kingdom. This of course means that many male animals are deprived of sex throughout their lives. But this ensures the best genes are being propagated. This wonderful mechanism of the nature has created the variety of life forms on earth. The selection mechanism of human females has also been the same since the beginning. That was required to be the same during the stone ages and even early days of ancient civilizations. The best genes were of those men who were the most dominating in the society and hence the females selected those. But since the evolution of technology and science, the growth of the human civilization has been largely dependent upon the intellectuals who have leashed fire, found wheel, steam, electricity, crossed oceans, built sky scrapers. The survival is no more dependent upon the brute physical strength or domination, but the intellectual soul. So the best genes are not of those, who are just strong enough to collect the food, but of those who can modify the genes so that the food becomes unnecessary. But it seems that the human females have not evolved enough to match the speed of social evolution to modify their selection mechanism to select the right genes. They are still lingering in their naked pasts. They still need to look up at the man’s eyes, as if they were pleading for food in exchange of sex. They still need to be dominated and tampered like their ancestors. Only difference is that now, there is no true purpose behind it. They have not yet recognized that the society has already offered them equality and they no more need to be dependent on a strong and dominating man. One of the interesting traits of the modern female is, she cries for independence to go for a man, who treats her no better than a slave. This thrills them for some obscure reasons. As if it gives them the assurance that, “yes this is the man who is strong enough to save me from the beasts, who can bring me food.” They will not feel attracted towards a man who treats them as equal, because he is not strong enough to dominate them. Why is it that they think so weak of themselves that they cannot defend themselves in a society that is almost secure? Why is it that they want to be dominated, tampered, and abused? Why can’t they take up an equal position with male, when it is being offered to them? When will they recognize that the strength in the human society has changed its focus? It is no more with the people who are merely strong enough to dominate a female or a few of their fellowmen. They can’t recognize the strength of the human soul that is driving the human society, human civilization further, when the rest are simply adding to the inertia of it. It is the strength of these intellectuals, which has controlled the nature, tamed the brute force of the fire. Which has measured the sky and the sea. It is these humans, which are strong enough to stand against the god. It is the wealth created by these men that they are feeding upon. These are the people who are strong enough to stand by their own ideals. This is the true representation of the strength in the present human society. The females should recognize this changed nature of measure of strength among males and perform their responsibility correctly before the growth of the civilization becomes stagnant due to the extinction of the strong men.

Doubt, Explore and Experience..... Dont Believe Blindly !



No religion has been courageous enough to say, "We know this much, but there is much we don't know; perhaps in the future we may know it. And beyond that, there is a space which is going to remain unknowable forever."

A true religion will have the humbleness to admit that only a few things are known, much more is unknown, and something will always remain unknowable. That "something" is the target of the whole spiritual search. You cannot make it an object of knowledge, but you can experience it, you can drink of it, you can have the taste of it - it is existential.

All these religions have been against doubt. They have been really afraid of doubt. Only an impotent intellect can be afraid of doubt; otherwise doubt is a challenge, an opportunity to inquire.

There is doubt, and doubt is not destroyed by believing. Doubt is destroyed by experiencing.

They say, believe. I say, explore. They say, don't doubt; I say, doubt to the very end, till you arrive and know and feel and experience. Then there is no need to repress doubt; it evaporates by itself. Then there is no need for you to believe.

You have to be again innocent, ignorant, not knowing anything, so that the questions can start arising again. Again the inquiry becomes alive, and with the inquiry becoming alive you cannot vegetate. Then life becomes an exploration, an adventure.........

The Corporate Servants

Contributed to IndiaVed by Bhaskar Tripathi, an Computer Scientist, Adventure Freak and World Traveler by Email  
The Corporate Servants
 Guys, Normally, I dispense from using offenseive slang in my vocal conversation. However when I get pissed off from my current 8-9 hour office cubicle life, enthusiasm spurts the influx of energy in my hot blooded muscles and my fingers are compelled to type the instructions recieved from "that thing" resting above my two shoulders.
This might force all you non-sportsmen,non-entreprenuers,non-rockstarts,non-artists (in crux non-achievers), to think what have you really done in your life...read-on these thoughts,you might get the courageto show that middle finger to everyone in the world when you disagree!!
  • “It was true that I didn’t have much ambition, but there ought to be a place for people without ambition, I mean a better place than the one usually reserved. How the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so? You, hear those boring mission statements from your business leaders,nod your head in approval and come back to your seats and again start earning your living.
  • You are taught to think out-of-box,innovate,communicate,inspire,manage (blah-balh-blah) etc. As if this were not enough, you will also be constantly expected by your bootless corporate bosses to be good,gel up with tardy,old people and be coroborrating in every statement they utter.
Purpose and achievement of your life ?
These are my thoughts for our so called corporate leaders.No offence meant please ! , plain facts...
  • You are proud of being a mere corporate servant . As if you were a politician,sports superstar,business tychoon or a celebrity.
  • You still do not have those guts and courage to do something different in life.
  • You followed a 10-15 year cumbersome process to climb up the corporate ladder and managed to become a VP/country head,however it was a process not a business legacy.
  • Face this hard fact that you have burnt out your body and do not have any other physical skills left in your body to earn a living in a non-intellectual way.You cannot even become a yoga instructor.
  • You have always worked for others, never for yourself for more than 10-15 years, so you cannot innovate and run a business empire.If you cannot run a bussiness, even after learning it for that long,you are not the best.
I think enough of bashing the business leaders. :):)
Its a rule of the game that they have to be like this...and they have achieved quite a lot in their lifes.You should take inspiration from them to to think out-of-the-box,innovate,communicate,inspire,manage (blah-balh-blah) etc. LOL :)
