Full many a gem of purest ray serene
The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear:
Full many a flower is born to blush unseen
And waste its sweetness on the desert air"


A good many flowers bloom and fade away in deserted places, seen by no one.
In its context in Thomas Gray's "Elegy" it is actually a metaphor for common folk who do heroic things that are never reported in the news or recorded in history. Like a precious stone unmined at the bottom of the ocean or a beautiful flower blooming in the deep woods, their work may not be seen or known, but it is nevertheless heroic. Rubies and roses are beautiful, Gray would say, whether anyone ever sees them or not.
Thomas Gray

 Aaram raam hai


''rest is the basis of activity
deep rest is the basis for dynamic activity

''deeper the rest, more the success in every undertaking ''

''water the root ,enjoy the fruit''

''rest and activity are the steps of progress''..................maharishi

Incessant struggle causes stress, disease, death
art of living should be understood well
hard work is not the wise technique 
intelligent smart work is the formula for success

Go slow ------------is my slogan
slowest is the fastest, 
standstill is the best

in samadhi, one is still, in deep rest 
in deep rest, gets charged with sath chith [intelligence energy ]

do less, accomplish more
do nothing , accomplish every thing

hard work no
it is intelligent work that works

skill in action , karma sukaushalam , develops in yogastha
yogastha kuru karmani is the intelligent action leading to success 
with least expenditure of energy and time and all resources

great intellectuals lacking this wisdom have mistakenly coined this phrase ''aaraam haraam hai, and blind followers repeated this n times acted on this and landed up in suffering, tension. problems
ignorance leading one to hell

Intellectuals have great responsibility to comprehend accurately 
and give expression precisely ,
as the innocent, ignorant masses having developed blind faith in them ,will accept their utterances as gospel truths. 
and follow with all sincerity ,


but alas, a wrong teaching will take them to wrong results inevitably , to harm irretrievably

  Silence is potential energy

expression is kinetic energy
deeper the silence, the more the potential, the more powerful the expression
Words without power is only noise
powerful word is the atma's voice
more the ratio of signal to noise
high is the message , of sage
silence is the best message in any age
But let me express my silence loudest
mookam karoti vaachaalaam
-----does not mean it makes one to become dumb
--it simply means his expression is densely rich
--highest signal to noise ratio
--packed with power of wisdom"

 You Are The Managing director Of Yourself


speed read and scroll down to rishi finds


one management expert , in a course to executives, slightly deviated from his assigned subject, happened to give this piece of self analysis. this has been helping me , i wish to present it here


but these abcd 's you may be knowing, much more, so, skip and scroll down.


you are the md of yourself

you decide whether you will change or not


surrendering yourselves to your fate-- is it necessary?

you can change only if you want


be always learning

for scope to learn, become humble


best resources, time


spoken words cannot be retrieved


opportunity lost cannot gain, be sensitive to encash

increase your market value


each day a clean slate ,start afresh


hobbies forgotten ?


do not fear making mistakes


do not abandon your ship

you must steer your ship


corrupt thinking creates stress


what should i do to improve my financial condition

how can i improve my balance sheet


plan as if you live forever

live as if you die tomorrow


life expands or shrinks in proportion to courage


are you a charged person


technical competence plus good behavior

cooperation plus trust from others


purpose of interaction, self awareness

and awareness about others


clear and unambiguous communication

creative approach in dealing with people


trust, adaptability

motivational needs from others

positive thinking


manage conflicts, assertive, humor


focus on company interest


every one has problems


professional approach


do it for your satisfaction

do not fool yourself


do not project effectiveness to others


goodwill money/corruption money ‘greased parts’


care on your –snap judgments—projections—-


we assume,we attribute our motives—–


care on our — prejudiced—-predisposition


clarity of thought, voice, dress—confidence

dress is a package to sell yourself


right timing


command over language

avoid double meaning


use verbal and non verbal feedback

keep eye to eye contact


so , self manage, you are the md---


blessed are the management experts and managers

they inherit the heavens 

of best pay, perks, promotions 


rishi finds---charging one's self is the key by connection to the divinity, guru provides the way, his grace makes the process easiest fast.


this is value addition with the connection with source of invaluable virtues, qualities, mahimas, powers, and all that is required to become the master, to be a md of oneself, easiest first step towards the promotion to the ceo of universe


great is our rishi sanskrithi, 

not stopping with, 

not stooping for small gains in the corporate world 

or in the life in the worldly world

but to ''arise, awake, stop not till the goal is reached''


what success has been vivekanand !!


he ,not a md nor a ceo in the corporate world, a retail shop at best , in the panorama of possibilities in the bigger universe


but he a conqueror of the world outside by the conquest of the inner world, 


that is the manifestation that happens by charging one's self 

so, charge yourself 

discharge duties, 

recharge your corporate world, at least

As one drives ..( handle car driving ) the car....reflects handling the life ......’’

….thank you for your wonderful subtle message, Meena Om ji
You are revealing great a clue on how truth works in life.

The individual’s style of working / living  is in fact a reflection of his level of truth , it reflects invariably in his every thinking, talking, doing and decides the effectiveness, correctness, and has a bearing on quality of output / consequences / results

The activity  can be any thing, profound or trivial, routine or special
Truth reflects on its own in every movement, sitting, standing, walking, writing, speaking, cooking, etc, the level of truth imparts a corresponding degree of grace / beauty /richness, which is clearly perceptible, and so distinguishes the truthful individual from the rest


……………………………………………………………………………………..Conversely, one’s way of handling the life reflects 

  

Love --an experience

Body, mind, nervous system became very very refined as  we went thru  a lot of processes, guruji gave us such a wonderful teaching and instructions , which made us  so fine that we the participants totally forgot our physical identities separating us from one anotherthis is in an advanced residential ssy/amc course
 ---so fine that we all  were enjoying as if just belonging to one single loving  family,

Brunda, a volunteer, a young mother, fed me with her hands, I felt as a child as if to eat from her hands  not peculiar , she appearing no stranger,though i did not know who she was.

she neither smiled, nor talked much, just doing the seva, with great love devotion as if it was a great pooja

she spotted me and i too felt some thing special, unusual in her talk , in her walk.

we exchanged a few words, routine, but it was unforgettable unexplainable, what was communicated between us

mostly we were just existing in silence together there , to me she appeared  just  a fullness.

the course was over, our intimacy continued over  phone, a tele satsang frequently

 
We exchanged souls’ out pourings overflowing with love, mundane matters acquiring  new colors, spiritual matters revealing ever new insights in our talks , so casual
 
The love was so intense, extremely satisfying, wanting us to interact again and again,

we entered and stayed inside each other’s souls and souls started talking to each other inside,

telephone became  unnecessary.

 
My heart wrote poems in  brunda consciousness

 
నా వెంట బృంద నా పంట బృంద 
నా కంట బృంద నా ఇంట బృంద 
నా లోన బృంద నా జ్ఞాన బృంద 
నా చిన్న బృంద నా మిన్న బృంద

నీ నామం నా మంత్రం 
నీ వాక్యం నా కావ్యం 
నీ పాదాలు నీ ప్రసాదాలు 
నా పూజా ఫలితాలు 
 

నీవే నా దత్త గురువు 
దత్త దీక్ష ఇచ్చావు 
నీవే నా ఆత్మవు 
నీవే పరమాత్మవు 
 
నీ ధ్యానం దివ్య లోక సందర్శనం

along me  is brunda,  my harvest is brunda
in my eyes brunda, in my home brunda
in me brunda, my gyan brunda
my small brunda, my great brunda

thy name is , my manthra
thy talk , theme of my epic
thy feet thy gift of grace
result of my pooja

you are my dathaguru
initiated in to datha deeksha
you are my athma
you are paramathma
thy memory the vision of god's abode

it was an intoxication, an addiction.
just a memory of hers in me , and of mine in her, she says too ,is enough to send into a trance, even after a long time now, ---we not wishing / not needing to visit each others' homes, --though earlier we did once
love overcomes the distance ----physical or mental, and all barriers, biases , identities , ----like god it is

.................read on.....................
what next?
gradually our tele con lost charm, we felt
one day i said '' brunda who is inside me is more charming than you''
not surprized, she said '' i want to talk to you from my inside only  not thru phone, or in person''

all this telecon was  on earth plane, a walk talk, very nice enjoyable
on the way we got into a super plane, the pushpak viman , inside,  enjoying the flight talk 1000 times more charming.

i glimpsed this jump in my poem while i wrote ''in me brunda my gyan brunda''
what was the means for this jump?
it is name brunda
the names takes the flight  directly in to me--not the any physical id aspects in our meet or talk--though they were the initial steps, but slow
rishi here cognizes the glory of nama smarana, nama japa , just the name that's it
purandara dasa sings
neenyaako? ninna hangyaako? ranga
ninna namada balavondiddare saako

what avail are, you , your glory? ranga
the strength of your  name alone is enough

this break journey takes place, getting off  the train, and catching the flight.
one goes beyond the glory of icons, form phenomena mahima of gods to the inside of that god thru one's own inside.applies to temples, gurus, saints who / what ever in manifest form----every one takes us to our inside and stay there in full fledge glory unending

all saints have taken this inside flight  meera, jayadev, bilva mangal, akka, thukaram chaithanya --- many many others.

true love undependent, unconditional , independent of our psycho physio, endures within.
blessed are true lovers they are gods to each other and to all in the universe
