Krsna's Teachings

"I am a renunciate, so I will not work,"says the biggest spiritual hypocrite! There is a misconception that every man has about spirituality and becoming spiritual. It's about silence, renunciation, inactivity, running away, dispassion, detachment and sanyasa.  Most people believe that they should not be involved in activity or work. They believe money is the one thing you should shun, you should not have relatives, you should shut away or run away somewhere.  None of this is true. Can you eliminate your thoughts altogether anywhere you go? So even if you go away to Himalayas know that you haven't gone away from your objective. It kills you softly and surely. You can never become a renunciate.  Let's examine the lives of great people and see whether they actually did what you believe you should do. Buddha went away to Bodhagaya and meditated to arrive at Buddhahood. Jesus left his family and disappeared to reappear again to teach. Krsna gave up His kingdom to His

Why are you always angry? Ask a person this question and an immediate response will be-  I am never angry!  Ok! Sometimes! Not always. Why do you think I am always angry? What makes you think that I am always in anger? I don't like it. You always accuse me of that. When have I actually got angry? I am not stupid to get angry unnecessarily. It's only when people take me for granted that I get angry. I hate anyone who accuses me. See now you have made me angry!  The one who is filled with anger doesn't need a reason to get angry. They always wear red tinted glasses so they see the world smoldering always. The defect is not always with the world. They have to remove those glasses too.   Why are these glasses always there? Is it their inherent disposition or is there some need for them to see the world only red! The bull fighters always show the red cape and the bull charges. But you should know that the bulls are color blind so they are not angry at the color red but the flag

Why does she always wear torn underwears?  She worked for a big multinational. She bought a house on loan. She paid the equated monthly installments regularly. She lovingly decorated that possession. That house she gave on rent. The rent she collected she gave to her old parents. They lived off that for many years before they died.  More than sixty percent of the salary went in the loans. She saved a small amount of money every month. After the loan got paid off in twenty years, she thought of moving in that house. Soon her brother fell ill. His family came to stay with her. All her savings were spent in buying his medicines. He died tragically of cancer.  Now his wife and kids occupy that house and she stays separate in another rented block. With her house taken by her relatives and all money gone, she had to take up employment again to sustain herself and pay for her rent. She has become old and still bothers about her future, security and retirement. There is no escape or choices, s

Do I have a divine purpose? Who am I? Why am I here? What is the purpose of this life?  Some people are only born to provide the sperm for the next generation. Their job is only that much. They can then be destroyed or can die. This statement may sound harsh but it's the truth.  Some creatures are only serving the purpose of propagation. Once their job is done, the nature destroys them automatically. Just like the fishes who spawn in the land and once hatched, they struggle to reach water. Some die while carrying on their feat of survival, some become food for the others and some actually make it. First to go downstream and then reverse the process to travel upstream to spawn the next generation. While doing so loose their lives.  The butterfly which is such a beautiful looking creature, flits from flower to flower sucking the sweet tasting stuff inside. She believes she looks extremely beautiful and colored. Preening herself she daintily goes from one flower to another, proud of h

What can you do for me? What are you capable of doing? What kind of knowledge or expertise you have that can bring value to the table? What is so special about you? What qualities you have those which could be put to the highest use in my enterprise?  Yesterday, I wrote this mail exhorting all of you to tell me what you can do. I am sure you know you put all possible good stuff about yourself when you write your resume. Isn't it? If you were to apply for a position, would you tell the interviewers what you cannot do or would you assure them what you can deliver? I am sure you will put forward all the positives in the world that you can project to get that job. Like they say in the industry, your deliverables!  Go back in time and think what is it that you wanted to do in your youth or childhood before you got trapped in this mundane world of deceit? You were interested in conquering the world. Becoming someone in life. Changing the world order or just bringing back utopia.  Did you

Why doesn't man use that beautiful mind? Why does he always give reasons or blame others? Couldn't he decide for himself what is good or not?  We always blame the object for causing disturbance in our world. Are you blameless? Or can you intelligently avoid the object? Let us see some cases.  The sun is burning bright in the sky. Naturally it is going to burn your skin, so you take an umbrella or you put on the air conditioner inside the house.  Every object has its inherent nature. That means it is naturally tending towards its own in-built nature. An acid will be sour and abrasive in nature. Sugar will be sweet to taste. A dog will bark or bite dictated by its nature. A pig will love dirt and filth. So every object in this universe has been embedded with its own nature. So also the man and the woman.  But you have been endowed with a very beautiful mind and senses. You have been given intelligence and the ability to decide what you can avoid or attract too. So if the sun beca

Do we need to do the marketing of the Guru or the Master?  Let me begin somewhere else then lead you back!  If you put the egg in your fridge under a hen, will it hatch? If you sow the grains from last years harvest, will it give me a good yield? If I pick tea leaves every single year without a break, will my tea taste better?  The answer to all of the above is a resounding NO! Why? The egg in your fridge is not a fertilized egg, which can give you a chicken. It's just like a production lineup egg, made by hens who are fed stuff that makes them give eggs. There are no cocks in that coop!  In the same way, grains that you eat are not capable of giving a yield. You have to go and buy fresh seeds every single year to grow the plants. These are made by companies which purely manufacture seeds for sowing.  The tea is plucked every few years and then the tea estate is allowed to go fallow so that you get better yield and the new tea tastes much like the good tasting tea.  In all the abov

Will you ever be sagacious? Why do you want to get conned in life always? You fall for silly and stupid scams like minions. Check out below how you work for the rich and then use your brains to become smart.  "Become a stock or shares millionaire, get rich, learn the secrets of billionaires"..these are the words that scream out to us everyday.Now, why would you read that and not want to become one? You have been scraping at the bottom of the jar, broken the piggy bank, used up your last resources and pawned the last ring. You are ripe for picking.  Most of the world is poor or middle class and just a handful are the rich. The rich are getting richer at your cost. Some sell you their software and some their hardware, others soft goods and daily necessities. They know your need and desires and leverage on them. They put their hand in your wallet and slip away your hard earned money easily.  Here is how you do it. Just a few years ago you were so much used to the old mixer grind

What is likable? In whatever they do, the kids follow their parents or guardians and the same tract is visible later too, in lesser intensity. As they grow up, they start using their minds along with the worldly knowledge that they have gathered around. The way in which they think and conclude is based on external impulses and internal thinking.  It is just like a newly rewired microchip with newer and additional features. They override certain older decision making abilities. Today, the conclusions are based on the latest technological inputs. Similarly, humans alter their thinking patterns. They may dislike cheese as a child but now they may just love a huge cube. How has this come about? This has happened since they started to think conclusively as they grew up. They might have read somewhere how important protein is for a man. So any kind of additional inputs creates newer likes and dislikes. But the object has never altered. Only the mind has created the outlooks.  You drank water

What can money buy?  Money can buy a lot of things.  Someone's good health and hospital expenses. Obama's great health plans. A life and even the cloth to cover the dead. The death expenses are nowadays equal to the marriage expenses. Wayan explained to me how she needs to spend half her annual income on her fathers death anniversary in Indonesia. Death is expensive and needs money. So money can buy you a peaceful death too, if you have drawn the financial plan for it.  Money is buying you a five star birth too. Two days all expense paid delivery in the five star birthing suit costs about 200k.  Money can bring the glitter of gold and diamonds. The shine in your eyes and teeth too.  A seven days expensive wedding ceremony at many locations, a month and more of exotic honeymoon. The best decorations for the most insignificant arches and background of your wedding hall. The fanciest of clothes with gold borders. Jchoo to Jlo, Pinot noir to Chardonnay, Chanel to Prada, Rolex to Fe

What purpose is this life?  We are all so sensitive to some words. Imagine someone calling us fat or dark can upset our entire life. Or when people say that you are greying or getting old now. Immediately our reaction is to fight back. At other times when people say, that you are the spitting image of your father or mother. You hate it though they have meant it more as a compliment.  So why don't we accept the things that their eyes observe? We all love our individualistic persona. We create our own image in our minds eye and admire it. Anyone who disowns it is our enemy. It isn't unknown to us that we are fat, yet someone acknowledging it hurts our feelings. We want to believe that we are thin. Which means some effects are supposed to be seen after the new diet regime or gym workouts, but they aren't seen. A single kilo loss in a hundred kilo won't be visible but a two kilo loss in half that weight is significantly seen.  For such reasons, we all become so hypocritical
