Real detachment : "The man who is pure of heart is bound to fulfil himself in whatever way he is taught.  A worldly man seeks all his life., but is still bewildered.  Detached from the senses, you are free.  Attached you are bound.  When this is understood, you may live as you please"- Astavakra Gita 15:1-2 Librarianship is a noble profession                                                                                                                 http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv

Enlightened Thought : “All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him.” – Gautama Buddha (Sacred Space, Times of India, November 18, 2010).

Ego and patience

"Ego and patience : Drop the 'I' and 'mine' and live in the 'we'.  The universe is one.  Without the ego we wxperience a beautiful connectedness with every thing else in the great chain of being : with the birds, stars, sky and trees. … It is connectedness that is known known as nirvana. …. We have to trust the universe with its own ways of opening and closing windows of opportunity and doors to happiness and prosperity. We have to learn to be patient.  Patience is the predicated on the faith that God knows better than we ever can hope to know what is good for us." – Swami SukhabodhanandaSource : Roar your way to Excellence. – Speaking Tree, Times of India.-November 12, 2010.

present , past and future

Whenever I happen to read great thoughts of great thinkers/leaders … I quite often chance upon these golden words : "be in present…present is the most obvious form of time…take care of the present and you can take care of the past and the future both ……" I hope and wish I trust these words … but again and again questions arise…… and often I keep saying to myself….some times who so ever is infront of me …"past and future are as obvious and clear as that of present …. And they are facts and not fiction… after all the present and future depart and separate by less than 1 billionth of a second…. Am I right. Can we really separate the past, present and the future is my big question".

Pure consciousness

Pure consciousness "Self is sakshi, pure witness.  However, if I am not aware of it, I cannot be rich and blissful.  To be truly happy the awakening of the self is required.  This knowledge of the self gives you the understanding that you are pure consciousness - the witness.  It is only through Brahm gyan, pure knowledge, that you come to know about your own true self."  -- Anandmurti Gurumaa Librarianship is a noble profession                                                                                                                 http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv

How to be a good librarian?

How to be a good Librarian Librarians are on the cutting edge of information technology and are always involved in something new and exciting. Graduate from high school. Learn about librarianship from the American Library Association website. Also check out the federal government's Bureau of Labor Statistics Occupational Handbook Online. Investigate what library type you would like to specialize in. Choose your college major accordingly. Graduate from college with a bachelor's degree in just about anything. Everything you learn is useful. Choose a graduate school with a school of library and information science. The American Library Association website keeps a list. There are about fifty schools in the country. Some schools offer online courses. Graduate with an "MLS", Master of Library Science or similar degree title. Do an internship or work part-time in a library while you're in library school so you can build up your resumé and learn more about different types of libraries. Apply for a job and be glad you choose a fascinating, never a dull moment career with a high job satisfaction rate. Learn management skills. A librarian is a manager first and foremost. You will have to manage people, budgets, leaking roofs, power hungry administrators and problem patrons. There is no "man behind the curtain" to run things, you're it. Be prepared for people who want to stamp you with the "Marion the Librarian", dull and boring stereotype. These are usually people who aren't nice people to begin with and worse yet, don't read very often. Continue to be polite and professional, but open and friendly. This will help them get beyond the stereotype. Try to prove them wrong as much as possible. Show that as a librarian you can be fun and outgoing.

The Librarian of Today

"The librarian of today, and it will be true still more of the librarians of tomorrow, are not fiery dragons interposed between the people and the books. They are useful public servants, who manage libraries in the interest of the public . . . Many still think that a great reader, or a writer of books, will make an excellent librarian. This is pure fallacy."  William Osler (Canadian Physician, 1849-1919)   Librarianship is a noble profession                                                                                                                 http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv

If you would like to know more about me and my writings in LIS, type RAJASHEKHAR DEVARAI will find some information. I have a professional blog... and in this blog about 50 librarians are writing.... if you wish you too can become a member. Let me know if you are interested. Do you maintain a blog as such?

thought for the day

Grace and Working with "What is"

 

"One partner, blind to his own faults will notice, criticize and condemn the very same imperfections in the other. …. If you acknowledge your imperfections and the imperfections of this world, work hard and rise to the challenge to be aware of them and change and evolve accordingly, "then you are a vehicle for the expression of God's dynamic perfection" writes David Aaron in his spiritual work based on his understanding of the Kabbalah, The Secret Life of God. …  Working with "What is" means to seek meaning within the absurd, peace within chaos, light within darkness, joy within suffering – without the need to deny the reality of absurdity, chaos, darkness and suffering." Marquerite Theophil  ; weave@vsnl.net (Times of India – Speaking Tree, October 1, 2010).

SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL LIBRARIANS

SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL LIBRARIANS

Habit 1: Proactivity, fanaticism, and downright aggression A popular though unacknowledged (here) website notes that "Vision without action is a dream; action without vision is a nightmare". Are there any other words that ring as true as this? Well, of course, but let's stay on task here. In brief, if you're not going to Do Something About It, just go back to reading the newspaper and drinking coffee. Continuous whining only irritates people. Sure, kicking and screaming aren't going to win you any friends either, but at least you'll get your own way. Eventually. Habit 2: From Librarianship to World Domination - yes, YOU can! Although the cynical may doubt the reality of achieving this goal, any tin-pot world dictator will tell you that it doesn't matter where you start, only where you finish. Of course, they always come to some sort of nasty end and are psychotic sociopaths with no conscience, but they never let these small handicaps interrupt their focus. History has never forgotten those who led military dictatorships, nor brought about senseless war. Habit 3: Prioritization and Delegation - keeping the trivial in some else's in-tray How much of your precious time is consumed with doing what ever the heck you are being paid to do? If you've noticed that you're rushed off your feet whilst the person next to you is cruising through their day, YOU are doing something wrong! If your co-workers claim to also be busy, had you considered the vast untapped human resources that walk into your library every day? Sure, they're not trained for library work, but many will be thrilled to be asked to fix the photocopier, show someone how to set up an email account, download music, scrape gum off chairs, and maybe even do the odd bit of cataloguing. If you don't ask, you'll never know. Habit 4: Believe in yourself "Boy, this is a pretty old one" I can hear you thinking. But hey! Unless you are in fact an imaginary character, why shouldn't you at least suspect that you are a real person. If you manage to convince yourself that you actually exist, then you're well on the way to getting others to agree with you. No longer a faceless servant to the masses, you can rise to a servant with a face! (If you're incredibly ugly, you can skip this one.) Habit 5: Exceptio probat regulam Where would any self-respecting list of anything be if it didn't include at least one Latin phrase plucked from a website that's hopefully been written by someone who knows what they are talking about? After all, that's the very essence of online content, isn't it? So, "the exception proves the rule". For you to become a highly successful librarian, you will have to first let go of the concept that hard work and dedication will help you achieve your ambitions. For proof, look at your colleagues, working away in intense concentration. As they will be doing tomorrow. And the next day. If you want to be the exception, you KNOW what you have to do now. Except you could also become unemployed - it's up to you to weigh the risks against the possible benefits. Habit 6: Synergy, empowerment, paradigms, viability and other jargon Talk the talk of management! It will give you a patina of authority, a voice that should be listened to. Much easier than learning a foreign language, your engagement in the mode of articulation of your corporate ecology will contribute to the implementation of your personal agenda. Besides which, not even the suits themselves understand what they're saying. Don't be intimidated! Habit 7: Imagination, ingenuity, innovation, inspiration, and inventiveness Yes, it's the five "I"s of success. It really should have been seven, as this is the seventh and thus final one of the 7 Habits of Highly Successful Librarians. But seeing how these sounded more suited than "Fabrication, falsehood, fancy, fantasy, fiction, figment, and forgery", it's probably better to go with the 5Is. Suit yourself though - if you haven't got access to a thesaurus, you're really not going to get very far in life or in your career. Let alone your plans for world domination! USE YOUR NEW POWERS WISELY. YOU ONLY GET ONE LIFE. UNLESS YOU'RE A SERIAL KILLER OR SOMETHING.

• “Well, perhaps a picture of a middle-aged woman, with her hair up, trying to look at the bottom shelf of books through her bifocals. That would mean standing on one shoulder, weaving her head about to get the titles in focus. Then, right beside that picture, could be the same middle-aged woman, with her hair down (perhaps looking like Julia Roberts will in a few years), helping a student (on a computer), while taking photos of the group for the yearbook. On the other hand, any picture that made librarians look like Julia Roberts or Clive Owen would be beneficial to the admissions offices of schools of librarianship”.

As the mind clears and becomes focussed, we begin to peorm our actions in the outer world skilfully, selflessly and without clinging to their fruits. We become more familiar with the larger, eternal aspect of ourselves that lies unchanged below the turbulence of daily life.-Rajmani Tigunait

Why we feel that we are alone?...........September 14, 2010

September 14, 2010
"For every one is linked with every one else through the
kinship of the soul - vasudhaiva kutumbakan." -
Acharya Nitya Satyananda (Speaking Tree - TIO Sept 14, 2010).
It is very true .... but we need to remind this this to ourselves
again and again. We either dont know this .... or we keep
forgetting... or we just dont want to know its importance.
And yes we get puzzled .... get isolated .... desperate ....
restless. We keep murmuring i am alone .... no one
cares me. Let us resolve to believe that we all human beings
 .... and other beings are interconnected and interwoven in
separably. No one in this world is alone. It is only a
learnt behaviour , it is only a fobia that
we feel at times that we are alone.

"Inception and the Subconscious"

The write up by Jui Pagedar in Times of India (Speaking Tree - 06-09-2010) titled "Inception and the Subconscious" and is educative and seductive for all those who evince interest in what appears to be more illusionist and imaginary. Yes it is human tendency to believe only those things which one can see, feel and sense easily. But the fact remains ... that we have worlds connected to us in more intimate ways than we think. Yes these other worlds are as real or more real than the lives we have believed and seen. Hats off to Jui Pagedar and Scholars alike for contributing to Speaking Tree. Best wishes.

Wrestling with God ..... Janina Gomes

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. lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv
