Truth


Only a profound inward revolution which alters all our values can create a different environment, an intelligent social structure, and such a revolution can be brought about only by you and me. No new order will arise until we individually break down our psychological barriers and are free.


What we can and must do if we are in earnest, is to tackle our problems now, and not postpone them to future. Eternity is not in future; eternity is now. Our problems exist in the present, and it is only in the present that they can be solved.


Human problems are not simple, they are very complex. To understand them requires patience and insight, and it is of the highest importance that we as individuals understand and resolve them for ourselves.


To understand ourselves, we must be aware of our relationship, not only with people, but also with property, with ideas and with nature.




Awareness of the whole process, both the conscious and the hidden, is ‘meditation’;

and through this meditation, the self, with its desires and conflicts, is transcended. Self-knowledge is necessary if one is to be free of the influences and values that give shelter to the self: and in this freedom alone is there creation, truth, God, or what you will.



Conscious and unconscious fear has many different causes, and it needs alert watchfulness to be rid of them all. Fear cannot be eliminated through discipline, sublimation, or through any other act of will: its causes have to be searched out and understood. This needs patience and an awareness in which there is no judgment of any kind.


We crave to be certain, to be right, to be successful, to know; and this desire for certainty, for performance, builds up within ourselves the authority of personal experience, while outwardly it creates the authority of society, of the family, of religion, and so on.


In moments of sorrow, we turn to what we call God, which is but an image of our own mind; or we find gratifying explanations, and that gives us temporary comfort. The religions that we follow are created by our hopes and fears, by our desire for inward security and reassurance; and with the worship of authority, whether it is that of a savior, a master, or a priest, there comes submission, acceptance and imitation. So, we are exploited in the name of God, as we are exploited in the name of parties and ideologies – and we go on suffering.


Intelligence is the capacity to understand the ways of life; it is the perception of right values.


There is a distinction between intellect and intelligence. Intellect is thought functioning independently of emotion, whereas, intelligence is the capacity to feel as well as to reason.


What is essential for man, whether young or old, is to live fully, integrally, and that is why our major problem is the cultivation of that intelligence which brings integration.


Only love and right thinking will bring about true revolution, the revolution within us. Without love and right thinking, oppression and cruelty will be on increase. The problem of man’s antagonism to man can be solved, not by pursuing the ideal of peace, but by understanding the causes of war which lie in our attitude towards life, towards our fellow beings; and this understanding can come about only through the right kind of education. Without a change of heart, without goodwill, without the inward transformation which is born of self-awareness, there can be no peace, no happiness for men.



Art, Beauty & Creation

---------------------------------------------------------------------
Many of us are regularly trying to exit from ourselves; and as art offers a respectable and easy means of doing so, it plays a significant role the lives of many people.



"Art divorced from life has no great significance. When art is separated from our daily living, when there is a gap between our natural life and our efforts on the canvas, in marble or in words, then art becomes merely an expression of our superficial desire to escape from the reality of what it is"




Praise and adulation, when taken to heart, inflate the ego and destroy receptivity and the worship of success in any field is obviously detrimental to intelligence.
Sensitivity to beauty and to ugliness does not come about through attachment; it comes with love, when there are no self-created conflicts. When we are inwardly poor, we indulge in every form of outward show, in wealth, power and possessions. When our hearts are empty, we collect things. If we can afford it, we surround ourselves with objects that we consider beautiful, and because we attach enormous importance to them, we are responsible for much misery and destruction.

Since our hearts are withered and we have forgotten how to be kindly, how to look at the stars, at the trees, at the reflections in the water, we require the stimulation of pictures and jewels, of books and endless amusements. We are constantly seeking new excitements, new thrills; we crave an increasing variety of sensations. Sensations can be bought, but not the love of beauty. When there is love in our hearts, we do not search for a way of putting words together.
Creativeness comes into being when there is constant awareness of the ways of the mind, and of the hindrances it has built for itself. Creativeness is a state of being in which the conflicts and sorrows of the self are absent, a state in which the mind is not caught up in the demands and pursuits of desires. When the mind is utterly still without being forced or trained into quiescence, when it is silent because the self is inactive, then there is creation.

The love of beauty may express itself in a song, in a smile, or in silence; but most of us have no inclination to be silent. We have not the time to observe the birds, the passing clouds, because we are too busy with our pursuits and pleasures. When there is no beauty in our hearts, how can we help the children to be alert and sensitive? We try to be sensitive to beauty while avoiding the ugly; but avoidance of the ugly makes for insensitivity. If we would develop sensitivity in the young, we ourselves must be sensitive to beauty and to ugliness, and must take every opportunity to awaken in them the joy there is in seeing, not only the beauty that man has created, but also the beauty of nature.

Sex and Love


Sex means “The properties that distinguish organisms on the basis of their reproductive roles

Fear, which is the result of our desire to be secure, makes us conform, imitate and submit to domination, and therefore it prevents creative living. To live creatively is to live in freedom, which is to be without fear; and there can be a state of creativeness only when the mind is not caught up in desire and satisfaction of desire.

It is because we do not love, that sex, the pursuit of sensation, has become a consuming problem. When there is love, there is virtue; but he who tries to be chaste, is not. Virtue comes with freedom; it comes when there is an understanding of what is.

Love is not caused by the signing of a contract, nor is it based on an exchange of satisfaction, nor on mutual security and comfort. All these things are of mind, and that is why love occupies so small a place in our lives. Love is not of the mind, it is wholly independent of thought with its cunning calculations, its self-protective demands and reactions. Where there is love, sex is never a problem – it is the lack of love that creates the problem.

The interferences and the escapes of the mind constitute the problem, and not sex or any other specific issue; and that is why it is important to understand the mind’s process, its attractions and repulsions, its responses to beauty, to wickedness. We should observe ourselves, become aware of how we regard people, how we look at men and women.

A logical and systematic decision-making process helps us to address the critical elements that result in a good decision. By taking an organized approach, we're less likely to miss important factors, and thus make our decisions better for the BENEFIT of the ORGANIZATION as well as people working.

As a valued team member in any organization, we probably make decisions every day. Some decisions are relatively straightforward and simple but others are quite complex..
A logical and systematic decision-making process helps us to address the critical elements that result in a good decision. By taking an organized approach, we're less likely to miss important factors, and thus make our decisions better and better. There are six steps to making an effective decision:

Create a constructive environment – First establish the objective & define what you want to achieve and then agree on the process .Always involve the right people while making any decision and allow opinions to be heard .Encourage the TEAM MEMBERS to contribute to the discussions, debates, and analysis without any fear of rejection from the group. Because our objective is to make the best decision under the circumstances: it's not a game in which people are competing to have their own preferred alternatives adopted. Think from a different perspective. Generate new Ideas
so as to break old thought patterns .

Generate good alternatives - This step is very critical to making an effective decision. The more good options you consider the more comprehensive your final decision will be. When you generate alternatives, you force yourself to dig deeper, and look at the problem from different angles. Brainstorming
is probably the most popular method of generating ideas. Use of Slip writing Technique to generate ideas from a large number of people is an extremely effective way to make sure that everyone's ideas are heard and given equal weight, irrespective of the person's position .

Explore the alternatives - When you're satisfied that you have a good selection of realistic alternatives, and then you'll need to evaluate the feasibility, risks, and implications of each choice. Risk analysis is structured approach for assessing threats, and for evaluating the probability of events occurring and what they might cost to manage. Also determine if resources are adequate and the solution matches your objectives. Cost-Benefit Analysis
is very important to look at the financial feasibility of an alternative.

Choose the Best Alternatives - After you have evaluated the alternatives, the next step is to choose between them. The choice may be obvious. However, if it isn't, then use of Paired Comparision Analysis
is beneficial. This helps you to compare unlike factors, and decide which ones should carry the most weight in your decision.

Check your decision
- With all of the effort and hard work that goes into evaluating alternatives, and deciding the best way forward, it's easy to forget to ‘sense check' your decisions. So ensure that common errors haven't crept into the decision-making process. > Test the assumptions and the decisions you've made against your own experience, and thoroughly reviewing and exploring any doubts you might have. > Review whether common decision-making problems like over-confidence, escalating commitment, or Groupthink may have undermined the decision-making process.

Communicate your decision, and take action - Once you've made your decision, it's important to explain it to those affected by it, and involved in implementing it. Talk about why you chose the alternative you did. The more information you provide about risks and projected benefits, the more likely people are to support the decision.

An organized and systematic decision-making process usually leads to better decisions. Many variables affect the final impact of your decision. However, if you establish strong foundations for decision making, generate good alternatives, evaluate these alternatives rigorously, and then check your decision-making process, you will improve the quality of your decisions.
................Hope this Article help you to take GOOD DECISION and the new process that you implement will be beneficial for the organization and also the peoples of Organization.

!!! Successful Marriage Life !!!

!!! Successful Marriage Life !!!



" For successful marriage life dont think that there should be age difference, but there should be attraction, trust & respect between two souls".



In olden days male/husband was taking the whole responsibility of marriage life and women/wife was like the worm she walks behind him everytime.

But nowadays this type of thinking is not happening.


Now husband and wife both are at same level. They both take the responsibility of marriage life.





But some husband think that wife is fighting with him.

The reason for fighting they dont think why they are fighting.

Husband & wife fight not because of there same age but they fight due to different nature,different likes & dislikes,

OR if, one partner in them is of very rude nature,high tempered,husband/wife find some mistake in every thing then it gives rise for fighting.

So they should understand this thing and should think about this.

It is truth that husband and wife they are two wheels of marriage life.

If one But if the two wheels will move in same direction or in same path then it not break.

The women which are highly qualified she will think of everybody if she in marriage life.After that she will about herself.

Yeah,I dont say that qualified women dont fight,they fight but they fight but in limited only.

She will first think about the situation then she will express her views in front of her family.


The main thing is that as we say " Cigratte smoking is injurious to health",

In same condition we say that " Half Knowledge is also injurious to everybody for Decision taking,marriage life also".
