How to live life

Photo from Instagram post
No matter whatever be your age. Be happy and enjoy your life. Why? You may ask.

Four Stages of Elimination in Life:

At 60, the workplace eliminates you. No matter how successful or powerful you were during your career, you'll return to being an ordinary person. So, don't cling to the mindset and sense of superiority from your past job, let go of your ego, or you might lose your sense of ease!

At 70, society gradually eliminates you. The friends and colleagues you used to meet and socialize with become fewer, and hardly anyone recognizes you at your former workplace. Don't say, "I used to be..." or "I was once..." because the younger generation won't know you, and you mustn't feel uncomfortable about it!

At 80, family slowly eliminates you. Even if you have many children and grandchildren, most of the time you'll be living with your spouse or by yourself. When your children visit occasionally, it's an expression of affection, so don't blame them for coming less often, as they're busy with their own lives!

At 90, the Earth wants to eliminate you. Some of the people you knew have already departed forever. At this point, don't be sad or mournful, because this is the way of life, and everyone will eventually follow this path!

Therefore, while our bodies are still capable, live life to the fullest!

 Eat what you want, drink what you desire, play and do the things you love.

Remember, the only thing that won't eliminate you is the Whatsapp group. So, communicate more in the group, say a hello, maintain your presence, be happy, and have no regrets!

A good poem for Sr. Citizens

एक अच्छी कविता. 
 प्रिंट करें या काटें...

 दोनों रिटायर हो चुके थे
 क्योंकि इसे कभी भी पार नहीं किया गया
 फिर भी स्थिति ठीक थी
 वह हाथों में हाथ डाले चल रही थी

 वह राजा था और वह रानी थी
 जिंदगी गा रही थी
 वह झूल रहा था
 कृतार्थ कृतज्ञता का जीवन जी रहा था

 अचानक उनकी तबीयत बिगड़ गई
 फिर भी पंचायत हुई
 वह बहुत सक्रिय थी
 लेकिन, किसी तरह ये गुजर जाता है

 अब वह सतर्क हैं
 तुरंत बीमा कंपनी से संपर्क करें
 विरासत को पुनः आश्वस्त करता है
 मृत्यु प्रमाण पत्र तैयार करता है
           
 अगले दिन वह बैंक जाता है
 पासबुक अपने हाथ में रखती है
 डेबिट कार्ड को मशीन में डालता है
 उससे पैसे निकलवाता है

 उसे फिर से ले जाता है
 बिजली और पानी के दफ्तर में जाता है
 वह उसे लाइन में खड़ा कर देता है
 वह बिल का भुगतान करने के लिए समझाता है

 अचानक उसे एक सरप्राइज देता है
 एक टचस्क्रीन मोबाइल रखता है
 वाई-फाई, बताता है नेट का मजा
 एक नया साथी जोड़ता है

 वह बाहरी दुनिया में चलने लगती है
 हर लेन-देन देखने लगता है
 उसका आत्मविश्वास बढ़ने लगता है
 वह राहत महसूस करते हुए धीरे-धीरे मुस्कुराता है

 वह उसमें बदलाव देखती है
 वह जानता है कि मन में क्या है
 थोड़ा-थोड़ा समझ में आता है
 इसकी चिंता है

 एक दिन कुछ घटित होता है
 वह कुछ मज़ाक करती है
 नकली बीमारी
 बिस्तर पर ही रहता है
               
 वह सुबह-सुबह चाय मांगती है
 और रसोई अस्त-व्यस्त हो जाती है
 चाय में चीनी कम होती है
 फिर भी वह इसकी सराहना करती हैं

 नाश्ते के लिए एक उपमा बनाई गई है
 लेकिन, यह हल्दी के रंग में काफी रंगा हुआ होता है
 दिन पर दिन बीतता जाता है
 और वह किचन में मास्टर बन जाता है
     
 किसी को पहले जाना होगा
 कोई तो पीछे रह जाएगा
 लेकिन, बाद अब नहीं रुकेगी
 और चिंता का कोई कारण नहीं होगा

 सह-अस्तित्व का सिक्का चल रहा है
 यह जमीन पर गिरेगा
 सबसे पहले, जब कांटा बैठता है, तो छाप दिखाई देती है
 सवाल वही है...

Marathi Original

एक छान कविता. छापा की काटा...

दोघांचीही निवृत्ती झाली होती 
साठी कधीच ओलांडली होती
अजूनही परिस्थिती ठीक होती
हातात हात घालून ती चालत होती

तो राजा ती राणी होती
जीवन गाणे गात होती
झुल्यावरती झुलत होती
कृतार्थ आयुष्य जगत होती

अचानक त्याची तब्बेत बिघडते
मग,मात्र पंचायत होते
तिची खूपच धावपळ होते
पण,कशीबशी ती पार पडते

आता तो सावध होतो
लगेच इन्शुरन्स कंपनी गाठतो
वारसाची पुन्हा खात्री करतो
मृत्यू-पत्राची तयारी करतो
           
दुसर्‍या दिवशी बँकेत जातो
पासबुक तिच्या हातात ठेवतो
डेबीट कार्ड मशीनमध्ये घालतो
तिलाच पैसे काढायला लावतो            

पुन्हा तिला सोबत घेतो
वीज-पाण्याच्या ऑफिसात जातो 
तिलाच रांगेत उभं करतो
बिल भरायचं समजाऊन सांगतो

अचानक तिला सरप्राईज देतो
टचस्क्रीन मोबाईल हाती ठेवतो
वाय-फाय, नेटची गंमत सांगतो
नवा सोबती जोडून देतो

बाहेरच्या जगात ती वावरू लागते
प्रत्येक व्यवहार पाहू लागते
कॉन्फीडन्स तिचा वाढू लागतो
निश्चिंत होत तो हळूच हसतो     

बदल त्याच्यातला ती पहात असते 
मनातलं त्याच्या ओळखतं असते
थोडं थोडं समजतं असते 
काळजी त्याचीच करत राहते

एक दिवस वेगळेचं घडते
ती थोडी गंमत करते
आजारपणाचा बहाणा करते
अंथरूणाला खिळून राहते
               
भल्या पहाटे ती चहा मागते
अन् किचन मध्ये धांदल उडते
चहात साखर कमी पडते
तरीही त्याचे ती कौतुक करते

नाष्ट्यासाठी उपमा होतो
पण,हळदीच्या रंगात खूपच रंगतो
दिवसा मागून दिवस जातो
अन् किचनमधला तो मास्टर होतो
     
कोणीतरी आधी जाणार असतं
कोणीतरी मागं रहाणार असतं
पण,मागच्याच आता अडणार नसतं
अन् काळजीच कारण उरणार नसतं

सह-जीवनाचं नाणं उडत असतं
जमीनीवर ते पडणार असतं
आधी, काटा बसतो की छापा दिसतो
प्रश्न एकच छळत असतो...

A lesson to learn - How to live life

THE TEACHING OF THE DONKEY

Quora Post by Richard Strachan


One day a farmer’s donkey fell into a well. The animal cried loudly for hours, while the farmer tried to find something to do to get him out.

Finally, the farmer decided that the donkey was old and the well was already dry and needed to be covered anyway; that it really wasn't worth pulling the donkey out of the well..

He invited all his neighbors to come help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to throw dirt into the well.

The donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly loud. Then, to everyone's surprise, he quieted down after a few shovelfuls of dirt.

The farmer finally looked down into the well and was amazed at what he saw... with each shovelful of dirt, the donkey was doing something incredible: It was shaking off the dirt and stepping on top of the dirt.

Very soon everyone saw surprised at how the donkey reached the mouth of the well, went over the edge, and trotted out...

Life is going to throw dirt at you, all kinds of dirt... the trick to getting out of the hole is to shake it off and use it to step up. Each of our problems is a step up. We can get out of the deepest holes if we don't give up...

Use the land they throw you to get ahead!!!

Remember the 5 rules to be happy:

1. Free your heart from hate.

2. Free your Mind from distractions.

3. Simplify your life.

4. Give more and expect less.

5. Love more and... shake the dirt, because in this life you have to be a solution, not the problem!

Brahman, God, Man, Every Cell a Living Whole

There is a beautiful discovery. I am stating it here.
There is a whole comprised of the multiverse.
It has many component universes.
Each universe is a whole comprised of cosmos, celestial space, celestial bodies and galaxies.
Each of these is a living whole.
Let us take the milky way as one of the entities.
The milky way is a living whole.
It is a whole comprised of stars, constellations, asteroids, comets, other objects and galactic space.
Each of these is a living whole.
It is a whole comprised of sub entities.
One sub entity is our solar system. It is a living whole.
It is a whole comprised of planets, moons and several objects in the intervening space and space itself.
Each of these is a living whole.
Take the earth for example. It is a living whole.
Going down the series are humans.
The whole of humanity is a living whole. Each human being is a living whole. Relationships make this whole living.
Going down to cells of the body. Each of them is a living whole with intervening fluids and space.
Then we can go up to the universe. 
Hence the post.

It came to me spontaneously.

This life is prana.
It permeates the multiverse, our universe, our milky way, our solar system, our earth, all entities on earth, all living and non living forms and we humans too. 
Life flows in and out our bodies disguised as breath.
Food is prana. It is life as well. It is consumed and discharged as food though it is carrier of life.

This living universal whole is identified by the labels Brahman and God.

Each of the components of the universes some zillion zillions of them, are also Brahman or God. We too are God disguised in flesh and blood.

Therefore every reason to affectionately promote the throbbing heart that pumps life disguised in so many different ways in each of the entities and in the massive big unconfined multiverses as well.

Life - What is life

To me life is that which endures beyond birth and death.

We live a segment of it and move to other forms through the matter into which our bodies convert and also as memories. And that is life.

Etymologically: life (n.)

Old English life (dative lif) "animated corporeal existence; lifetime, period between birth and death; the history of an individual from birth to death, written account of a person's life; way of life (good or bad); condition of being a living thing, opposite of death; spiritual existence imparted by God, through Christ, to the believer," from Proto-Germanic *leiban (source also of Old Norse lif "life, body," Old Frisian, Old Saxon lif "life, person, body," Dutch lijf "body," Old High German lib "life," German Leib "body"), properly "continuance, perseverance," from PIE root *leip- "to stick, adhere."

My philosophy of life

Philosophy of my life

It is this. 

If there is a life to live, it is this life. 

There is but one life to live. It is this life.  Live it well.

There is but one day. It is this day. Live it well.

There is but one moment. It is this moment. Live it well.

Moments well lived makes the hour well lived.

Hours well lived makes the day well lived.

Days well lived makes the year well lived.

Years well lived makes life well lived.

A juicy lemon has lot of juice in it.  I juice it. Then I pour a few drops of water into it two three times, till I am sure I have squeezed out all the juice.

That's how I live my life. Using every moment beneficially. That is what I am doing now. Learning, revising, knowing, sharing, while answering. For I believe. In giving there is receiving.

How do we Live our Lives

This is copy of an answer I gave on Quora to title question.

I think we live our life stressfully, responsively, accommodatingly, giving or making concessions, giving up on our own wants, needs and preferences. We are successful when we succeed in doing all these things time and again willingly, happily and joyfully with least expectations of others.
