How will God guide you?

By religious texts? 
Religious texts when chosen selectively will not be sufficient, say scriptures. 

Religious texts that shows a God living life of a human is a guide. Or we can say, a text wherein we see a human becoming God by living a life of human. To remove element of Human from a God will make us prone to errors. 

With removal of Valmiki Ramayan and Mahabharat from homes, we lost know-how to deal with life as a Human. 

Too much focus on the God's side of God, too little on the Human side same God. It should have been reverse.

Quotes About Love (for Men)

  1. Women and children are loved. Not men.
  2. Love is the desire of goodness.
  3. Attention is to women, what achievements are to men.
  4. Men love idealistically, women love opportunistically.
  5. You see women are warned about the dangers of men all their lives, that men will manipulate for sex, to be careful, to test him and be cautious etc. They have their defences up, even when they're naive. But who warns men about women? Nobody. Most learn the hard way - through pain.
  6. If men were informed in advance that the love of a woman they are romantically involved with is conditional, and unreliable, they would be far less heartbroken when a woman leaves them.


Why listen to the rishis?

Short answer is : For your own good. 

Technology has made dreams of an ancient-man come true. You can video-talk to someone sitting thousands of miles away, can travel at a speed unimaginable a few hundred years ago. 

Despite having these external facilities today, man may feel discontent with life. Or a man may not live life to one's fullest potential.

The rishis knew truth that the human nature will not change. We will always have tendencies of selfishness, competitiveness and fairness/justice and more; like anger, jealousy etc. They understood that *beyond a point* the externals will never satisfy us. 

Let's take one aspect of human nature, fairness. If only you have the ability to travel instantly to distant places; it will certainly make you feel more content. However, if everyone has the ability to travel in an instant, it won't make us feel more content. As is the case with most external technologies. The external advancement is insufficient for a fulfilling life. 

Therefore, it is foolishness; to deny the need of a system; that regulates the internal.

The rishis emphasized on the internal. With the knowledge of the internal truths, one can enhance the experience. The religion and the scriptures deal with this aspect. 

Listen to the rishis for your own good.

Shaping the Present

 We are moved by ideas. Idea must be transformed into actions to yield results. Too many ideas make your brain wander. So, I will be filtering a few ideas as per following tweet and make the boring work streamline untill I have enough time to work on something new that will align with goals.

 So I should work to systemise current workflow. Add products to new marketplace. Only once this complete I should look for other opportunities. 

Good thing is, the short inactivity in outer world (partial weekly lockdown) has made me think about myself. There has been too much distraction in form of social media, sugar and the usual work. 

It is useless to just think about anything new unless the current work-flow is not healthy enough to give extra time.

An old note. 
Knowledge as property. 

"It stalls the process and turns you into a sucker". 

Found it scribbled. And its very good. Maybe Taleb said this, but I'm not sure. 

Knowledge shall not be treated as a property. Hmm.

 So, what the issue. 
No-one belongs to anyone?
Stagnancy? 
Not able to take the challenge of life?
Afraid of struggle ahead?

Point being, I can not share these things with anyone. There's no-one. 
Most friends do not wish for my progress. 

I am not afraid of struggle. But, this immediate requirement was not expected. Although I had idea, however; it came sooner than expected. 

This process of remaking everything, that I can feel. 
Looks like fortune wants me to learn the steps beforehand. 

I just need some time, to stabilize from this disruptive time in the market. 

I have been ignoring the time taken to prepare for monthly sales. 
Also, not able to research on new areas. 

Actually, this is developmental phase, that I need to focus on work rather than other things. This is what bothers me.

What is this desire of companionship? 
It certainly is there. We desire for a friend, soundboard, or maybe someone with whom we can share our thoughts etc. Or maybe only the miserable people desire companionship. The happy do not feel any 'need' of friends / companions. Their life is already fulfilled. 

Seneca wrote something like this, 'one should not be in 'need' of a friend, however; if he's there, it will make life more beautiful'. 

'Like one should not mourn over loss of a hand, however, if it is there, we will make good use of it.'.  

May be it is desire of love? 
 Which we know ideally turns into companionship with time in 'marriage'. This has been found to be best possible method for men. 

It's rare to have a 'real friend'. Probably we ourselves do not deserve that kind of friendship. Lacking in the 'integrity' ourselves. I mean, before blaming someone else; if we look closely it is very much possible that since we have not given ourselves to someone, how can we expect somebody else to give them to ourselves? 

Human relationships are a complex thing. 

Maybe, those who have mastered the art of 'happiness' or have a natural tendency to be happy; do not philosophize ! 

[Schadenfreude : Maybe enemies are a cure for schadenfreude. We need enemies.]

Lonely is a mental state."

Masculine Hierarchy of Needs:





Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs:



Ok, it looks like that being a leader of a Tribe satisfies our 'need' of belonging & building. 

This need of belonging with fellow human beings is very strong, and probably the reason why most people are ready to 'follow' some authority. It's easier to follow & satisfying one's innate desire of belonging than being a leader who is by definition 'lonely'.
