The hidden truth

Once there was a king who just wanted to know about the exact truth of his life.  That's why the most of the time he asked questions regarding his own existence from his ministers. 

There was one of his ministers who was considered as the most rational and judicious person of his kingdom and therefore, he called him for a secret meeting on the next morning.  The minister felt quite perplexed and astonished and started thinking about the cause behind the calling of his master.  The whole night he was feeling anxious and apprehensive.

Next morning, he woke and went for the King's  mansion hurriedly so that he could avoid the anger of his Lord.  The king welcomed him and very respectfully called him to take his seat.  The minister was amazed and startled as he couldn't recognize the reason behind it. He asked from the king regarding the cause of their meeting.  The king replied that he wanted to know about the objectives of his existence.

He raised some questions:

Who was he?
What he was doing on the earth?
And how can he be productive for others?

The minister smiled after hearing those questions and replied that his each question is showing the answer itself. 

Out of his amazement he asked how?  The minister said that he was pure energy,  and that's why he wanted to help other as his third question is itself the answer of his second question and the answer of his third question is hidden in his very first question I.e through knowing oneself, one can be productive for the society.

Now the king felt satisfied and jubilant inside as he came to know about the hidden truth.

*A weird Experience*

Once upon a time there was a person who had a magnificent skill of presenting story telling.  People of all ages enjoyed his stories a lot and that's why sometimes they even asked form him to tell one more tale.  He felt very delighted to hear these words as it depicts the people's interest for his tales.

One day when he was going for a morning walk  then he had seen something very weird and queer on his way.  It looked like a small bag.  But when he took it out then he felt it quite difficult to take out.  But anyhow,  he picked it with lot of his endeavours.  Afterwards, he took it at his home.  But the moment he opened it, he felt extremely astonished as there was a small elf on it.


He tried to ask from the small demon regarding his past life but he refused to say anything with lucidity.  Now the man felt quite annoyed of this little elf. 



Therefore, out of anger he tried to hit him but suddenly the elf escaped and evaporated from there.  The story teller felt very apprehensive about it and tried to analyze either it was real or his figment.

Now the time of story session starts and this time he told them about the same episode in the form of a story.  But this time no one appreciated him.

Review of a book titled *The Power of Compassion* by - Dalai Lama (a Buddhist philosopher)

One of the most magnificent books highlighting bundles of pacifist ideas and doctrines. 

Specifically, the book deals with the skills of anger management.  The author has done full justice with the title as he also presents different ways to cop up with anger by using compassion in different situations.  The physical structure of the human body is also discussed in detail. He emphasises that human hands are made in such a way which only bestows care and love for others.

The different afflictive stages of minds are presented in a splendid manner so that these circumstances can be overcome.

A special question-answer series has also been given for developing broader and comprehensive opinions regarding the universal and cosmic importance of compassion and love in human life.  

Different techniques of meditation are also introduced with marvellous examples. 

In aggregate, the ideas given in the book are quite candid, comprehensive, lucid and remarkable.  The author Dalai Lama also established the vibrant importance of meditation.

Review of the movie RoboCop 2014

Alex Murphy, the main character of the story having a splendid and magnificent will power to find out his own criminals.  Though half robot and human he was but still the human feeling prevailed in his newly transformed personality.  He is marvellously having the strength of a machine and the emotions of a human being.  The movie exhibited the unique example of science fiction and also left a hope that in the futuristic society science can change a physically dilapidated man into a half machine with a feeling of mindfulness.  

The movie also presented the dark side of human persona I.e. dominated by greed, malevolence, and materialistic set of mind projecting the self centric approach.  It was being observed in this movie that the above negative traits were quite prominent in us.  But still we can see the light in darkness when we synthesise the character of a compassionate doctor who proved that benevolence, generosity, and kind heartedness still dwelled in many of the people.  

The hero of the story, later being transformed into a RoboCop had given a tremendous example of fortitude, valour and bravery.  It was quite inspirational when we saw a robot having only 2% of human brain left, took hold of his newly incarnated body and also further his steps towards his criminals.

In one word I can conclude this movie having emotions rapped in science.

A letter to Almighty

A helpless Soul
Earth 

4th May 2018

The Almighty
The Supreme Abode
Immortal Land

Dear insurmountable father

Subject - Regarding the dilapidating and miserable condition of earthly life.

It is with the reference of the rapid increase of inhuman, amoral, asocial and corruptive activities of people increasing in this earth continuously from the past uncountable centuries.  

As you convey your message through the teaching of Gita, Bible and Koran that we, the human need to be selfless towards our services, actions, deeds, and behaviour so that we can establish Dharma but I hereby, want to state that the above things are not being done by us sincerely.  And it seems ye are also not bothering about the law and order of this mortal land. 

People are indulging in corrupt practices and same is with their wards.  The condition of a teacher is in a desperate state.  For every sort of wrong actions committed by people, only the teachers are considering responsible.  And the most astonishing thing is that a good teacher is turning to be the prey of wicked students, who are having lack of mannerism; they are pinpointing for every type of the wrong action committed by these ill-mannered students.  The system is sheltering them, authorities are putting the blame to teachers irrespective of knowing the fact that the teachers' powers are being confined.  

They are just like puppies. 

Do you really think it is justifiable?  
You have lost your temper when ye faced one such person whose name was Duryodhana. But kindly look at our desperate state here in the present scenario, we are facing a number of Duryodhana in our classes!  And mind you, you have a lot of power to circumscribe such sort of chaps but look at us we don't even have any power, not even our basic rights of self-respect because in this present time span when anyone becomes a teacher then all of his or her rights are taken out.  They are worse than a scarecrow.

What the hell are you doing? Are ye sleeping or ye also want this to happen!  Jealously and wickedness are prevalent in many of the people.  And most amazingly they are quite successful in this land called earth. Their diplomatic, wicked and satanic doctrines are praised everywhere and the people who are pure, diligent, selfless and philanthropic are criticized as well as condemned with a great force.

So, I am hereby requesting from you either to stop these things or just kill the innocent people so that at least they can't feel tortured insight.  I shall be very thankful for your benevolent gesture.

Yours truly
A mortal man named as Sudhir Singh

Science of Spirituality

A picture hung above a mantelpiece
Talks to me when I am in peace
He is my Master's Master
Who consoles me when 
I have nothing except a void and a blissful emptiness
A cessation of thought
Beyond thoughts 
Dwells the mansion
of the true Lord

Teacher as a victim

5th of September is always being celebrated by all of us with a great zeal and enthusiasm.  But sometimes, it looks as if the new generation is turning to be quite smarter as they know that they can get good scores through giving incentives to their teachers,  They are having an excuse to get relaxation in all aspect and they are more intelligent than their teachers because they are having an updated software with extra features and characteristics.  And the result is that a teacher could become the victim of their politics.

Though my views can be seen queer  and weird to you but if you observe the things with a keen eye then you can definitely get something valuable in my article.  

Children of the present era are nourished with technology and trickiness.  They can observe the complexity of the society and therefore can also comprehend which teacher is having enviousness towards the other one, what are their weaknesses, what kind of attitude they have towards their classroom and students, how can they take the benefit of some teachers to go against a particular teacher whom they don't like.  It seems as if students have done a masters on their teachers and they are changing the circumstances as per their own perspective and approach.  

Therefore, it is said that teaching is not everybody's cup of tea as the young brains are sharper, quicker and keener than the old one.

If we talk about politics then even students cannot be surpassed by teachers because students have unity amongst each others whereas, teachers don't have.  If I say that teacher is himself or herself the enemy of a teacher then perhaps it will not be an exaggeration.  For more vivid comprehension and understanding I would like to quote one of my experience as a teacher which can easily depicts the right picture in front of you.

I would like to tell you a story for narrating the things in a better way.  

Once there was a teacher who liked to be the best teacher in his life and from his childhood he always set a goal to be as great as his teachers and parents were.  He struggled a lot and also faced a lot of difficulty from the beginning of his career but he never ever lost his hope as he was very greatly motivated by his father and teachers.  In the starting of his career he was being exploited a lot.  And due to his low schooling he often worked hard day and night so that he can work well as per the need of present challenges in teaching.  Finally his efforts blazed his career and he cracked the central teaching aptitude test.  He became a teacher in a good school but then he faced a serious psychological problem.  Doctor said it happened because of lack of rest and too much stress.  Due to it he can't continue on that school.  Then he met one of his friend during convocation.  He advised him to join the school in which he was teaching.  He agreed with him and gave an interview and was selected.  One day he was teaching his students during his extra lectures.  He was teaching his students and suddenly he felt little bit uncomfortable from the demeanour of one of his student who keep on disturbing him.  It wasn't the first time when he did that and he wasn't the first teacher who was being irritated.  He kept on requesting him to kindly change his seat but he didn't do and started using abusive language.  When he said him to change his seat then he again refused to do so.  In a bit of anger he touched him with an arm and tried to pull him.  The teacher can see the anger and arrogance in his eyes which clearly be seen.  Then both of them have a huge blow and afterwards, the student left the class and shouted that he will expelled the teacher from the school.  Then the teacher was being called out by the Principal.  The teacher narrated the whole incident but for getting the comprehensive and clear picture Principal of the school called the students of that class also so that she can take a judicious decision but the whole situation turned to be the worst when all the students including girls proved that teacher as wrong and the notorious student as righteous.  Even he wan't being supported by any of the teachers.  

The above story can easily exhibited that the present scenario is completely circumscribing the teacher and liberalising the students at the extreme level.  May be my story can't be much appropriate and not be constructed in a better way but I hope I am able to exhibit what I want to be.......
