Wrestling with God
Source : Janina Gomes.-Speaking Tree, Times of India.-July 07, 2010
Often we find in life, we want one thing and just another happens. …. All the while , the shadow of God hovers and has been hovering over us in all situations both good and bad. …. If we allow the grace of God to flow unimpeded in us, we will find that goodness flows naturally from us, like the river.
LbnRaj responds!!!!! : “Yes … we find that many a times we aim at something and something else happens. After a lapse of time …. We find that happened was also close to our chest. What we never thought as interesting…useful to us becomes the thing we right now adore and like. Ya it is true … we long for certain things in life … it is also true we sooner or later like the things that are given to us…. the things that are with us abundantly. There is no need to learn to like the things that we have … it happens … it just happens. Let us resolve to notice the abundance of things around us for us … which came without asking for. Yes the things we have are abundant … we are indeed rich … every one is rich… but realization of this comes may be late … may be very late.”

Intelect and Intelligence .....
| Intellect and Intelligence : Swami Parthasarathy says , "Intelligence is buildt by gaining information, knowledge from external agencies, from schools and universities, teachers and textbooks. The intellect is developed through your individual effort by exzercising the faculty of questioning, thinking and reasoning. …….. Those having developed a powerful intellect, woth or without academic distinction, can hold the mind under perfect control and direct action to spell success and peace in life. ….. It is their primary responsibility to strike an equable balance between acquiring intelligence and developing intellect. Only by maintaining this essential equation can governments be run businesses c onducted, professions practiced and famili8es live in peace and prosperity" (Speaking Tree.-Times of India, 22nd July 2010 : Source – Governing Business and Relationships / Swami Parthasarathy)  Librarianship is a noble profession. 1816gbgv |

Lbn Raj idling on a July Sunday
18-07-2010
LbnRaj idling on a July Sunday:
What inspired Lbn. Raj: (1) A bittersweet comeback/ Indrani Rajkhova Banerjee- Times of India, July 18, 210 (Times Life!) (2) In your darkest moment/ Vinita.Nangia, Times of India-O-zone, 18 July, 2010.
It is but natural by looking at great lives of remarkable people, to realize the uniqueness & importance of ones own ups & downs, highs & lows. How interesting it is now to recollect as to how we stumbled upon our first job or business, how we felt on our first serious failures in our first jobs. The more experienced we became may be more serious issues we faced with. Highs & lows are but spices to our lives. What is life of a person who never changed his tracks, who never saw/ or gone in for the so called change of business or a change of a job or has never opportuned to resign or put ones foot down when one cant go away further in anything, when one succeeds to have something which he/she dreamt for long. It is but quite possible what after one fulfills ones desire/ dreams. One may feel- how worth it was to long for such an ordinary not so great a thing! I realise of late dreaming about some jobs, fortune or companion does not & should not be put to vote in terms of profitability or utility or usefulness. The beauty is in the dream itself, not in the person or the thing dreamt about. Life minus dreams is a life lived worthlessly. It is not necessary that all dreams should get realized. The very fact that one keeps dreaming is a proof of ones liveliness & hope To put it in simple terms the very process of dreaming in unique, special, beautiful and incomparable, incomparable even to the very thing or person dreamt about. The best highs & worst lows in ones life add all variety & spice for a brighter higher high than one had ever imagined. It is impossible to realize the importance of highs if one has never had so called terrible lows. Coming to this very moment in which are conforted at the moment … dwell on that as consciously as possible. Nothing gets erased in life. It is a cumulative process. As we selectively divide to recollect some things out of "n' number of past things we were faced with ….. those things roll open for us from the recycle bin- if at all they were deleted. Nothing in life gets deleted even if you empty your recycle bins as often. It is all present in the cloud, virtually or real life as well. Nothing in life, no decisions in ones life are good or bad… the course of life get shaped as we go along knowingly or unknowingly. What makes us decide a particular way? At the very moment of a decision, at that very spur, our interests, inclinations & likings work & we divide accordingly. It is impossible for the second person to influence the decision of the next person. Decisions are so personal. The level of highs & lows of human adamancy are so strong & innate, that it is humanly impossible to impact. In the heart of the heart, the person who looks like having impacted upon – gets convinced, gets realized to some where some how to align to a particular thing or phenomena or ism. At the surface level ok. We get influenced by people & thoughts around, true. But what gets decided is two personal a thing, at the core. One interesting thing about decisions is…. That it is true & meaningful to the person at that moment only. If you think you agree & disagree simultaneously is absolutely wrong. You agreed one second ago- that was the truth, you disagreed one second later- that was the truth, not both agreeing & disagreeing simultaneously.
I know, I started with my reading of what Indrani's write up & Vinita's thought in Times…….. now hardly I remember what she was talking about. Every one, every writer consciously, unconsciously starts with news stimuli………. internally or externally. I really don't know why a mark…. is necessary to start wring or speaking or gossiping. I am not whether the so called busy successful people even be able to read what I write…… but to certain extent…. I think I am right…..the people like me who happen to stumbled on idle holidays & Sundays will read. Is idling a sin?
Yes, n numbers of writers identify & highlight the darker sides of individuals, Alas! n numbers of writers ignore the finer sides of individuals. Darker & finer sides of personality are to be acknowledged. Can we spot some who never has darker sides, or some one else who never has finer sides? The finest & the darkest sides are present in each & every one. This is the fact. The fact is….. whose finer & darker sides are in the limelight? It is impossible to revert & identify the best & finer sides of people, had there been no one with darker sides. We live in an agreed up social set up- finer sides have acceptance & the darker side sides have no acceptance.
Key words:
Lbn. Raj, Indrani Rajkhova, Vinita Nangia, Ups, Downs, Darker Sides, Finer Sides, O-Zone, Times Life.
I am thankful to Ms. Susri Priyadarsini Padhi-Junior Librarian for providing relevant support information & for efficient DTP work.
Lbn. Raj

15th July 2010
Lbn. Raj responds at Random:
It is quite a known fact that not taking a stand and decision is a stand/decision by itself. since morning I thought today that I did not do anything. The things that I thought were the priority could not be done, accomplished! Then the good news is that when I am thinking that I am not doing anything, yet I get going on things & thoughts that I did not intend to. So, in fact I got involved in thoughts that came just like that & unasked for and I can not resist but to be with them & unknowingly & unconsciously get more intensely involved than when I really wanted to be involved intensionally and consciously.
Any way this holy day of Puri Jagannath’s Rath Yatra got me involved unusually into thoughts & isms which many of us dare to face, dare to get involved, dare to live with.
And I chance upon to reflect, recollect, respond on & start afresh on what Anil K Rajvanshi writes in Speaking Tree of Times of India (13.07.2010) today, on an unusually conceived title “Cloud Computing & Reincarnation” what a creative & thought providing analysis & simile?
Anil has beautifully brought out the meaning of the concept “Knowledge Space”. Modern day knowledge Managers can not afford to miss such out of the box thoughts!
Anil’s ideas on Cloud Computing & Reincarnation can be summarized as follows:
- Research on Cloud Computing helps us to understand the concept of Reincarnation.
- Most of the information for personal use now days is stored in Cyber space.
- Our personal information stored in Cyber space can be recalled by way of a user id & password.
- In the similar fashion our intense individual memories of experiences & thoughts can be accessed from Knowledge Space(KS) by way of an “Avatar”
- What gets transferred from the dying person to something else, some one else is through an id & password.
- One could succeed in liberating by Yoga & Sanyam. From the past experiences & sanskaras by modification & erasing/deleting.
- Not all memories exist in knowledge space, only deeply emotional ones do.
- The practice of giving birth name based on horoscope has deep connections to the understanding & analysis of the phenomena of reincarnation & cloud computing
- Ramakrishna came to know about reincarnation of Vivekananda by putting his hand on his chest.
- Vivekananda experienced the past memories of a disciple by touching his hand. This process is very much similar to the process of eliciting information from the cyber cloud.
- There are reports of some very young children reporting vaguely on their experiences & impressions of past births & avatar’s.
- Just like we create at our profile in a social network site we create our profile in knowledge sphere/space.
- The more powerful some one’s mind is, the bigger is the signature in the KS.
As you see, I could not resist in summarizing the ideas of Anil, I am indeed proud to be doing so.
All social human & physical sciences invariably derive their roots in logic, maths & philosophy. There is no wonder Anil explains the concept of RE-INCARNATION by comparing with modern IT man’s concept of Cloud Computing. Hats off to this agricultural scientist. This kind of exposition is out of the box, unusual, creative & no less an innovation!! Mr. Anil should continue to write on such not so much talked topics. Best wishes.
