Every one wants to be good! Any thing wrong with this?

Every one wants to be good! I have never come across any one who basically un conditionally wants to be a bad doer. No one wants to be known as a bad person. No one wants to do wrong and bad things. Then why do we get into wrong things…….. why do we get to do bad things? Even in case of small medium and hard core criminals basically never intend ………………….. intended to be be bad and bad doer. Every one know that they need to be noticed………………… they need to be acknowledge for their being important …………………. their being correct, their being righteous. May when some one does some un acceptable thing ……………………. Wrong thing …………………. Bad thing – they still are not convinced that they are wrong persons………………… they justify being right in their own right………………….. in their own logic. May be there is lot of competition to be good in this world. It is so difficult be known as a good person …………….. and be known for that. And many a time we get disgusted to many many good people around…………………. We just cant stand so many good people around ………………. Who are bent upon under mining my goodness and being right? There is lot of competition in this world to be good  person …………………. More better person than others…………………. Can I call it as a healthy competition? -LbnRaj ; lotus5673@yahoo.co.in ; Librarianship is a noble profession                                                                                                                 http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv

Give and take or give and give?

 Give and take or give and give?

“You must give some time to your fellow men.  Even if it is a little thing, do something for others- something for which you get no pay but the privilege of doing it”. - Albert Schweitzer (Sacred Space, Times of India, December 23, 2010).

What I personally think is that, basically every one feels like doing something good to others all the time. We all understand very well about our need to be recognized…. …………………need to be appreciated by others. We also understand that no body will recognize us ………………nobody will appreciate us……………………….nobody will notice us…………………………..without our being of some use to some one all the time……………….. What about the librarian? Luckily Librarians have so much to give to so many people all the time………….. day in and out. This is indeed a special privilege! We have the noble task of sharing information and knowledge to as many as we can. The beauty of our profession is that we are systematically trained to do so. Let us thank God for making us Librarians. Let us be proud of what we are…………. the way we are. There is more joy in give and give and give …. …………….. the things we may start getting will be countless..  -LbnRaj ; lotus5673@yahoo.co.in ;

What is this Big Bird Thinking? ....

Can Librarians be big bird thinkers? "Big bird thinkers are those who  are so mature that nothing can distract them from their objectives, who give well-considered responses when in adverse situations, rather than simply indulging in an emotional backlash. …………….. Spirituality is good for the all-round development of the individual's personality, for it makes you free of tension and friendly towards all.  Spirituality is the way to all kind of success. …………………… positive thinking makes you a 'bid bird thinker' and 'big bird thinking' imbues the human character with spirituality.  Although this is an inner quality, it is this inner quality that has the power to better all your external affairs." - Maulana Wahiduddin Khan ; www.cpsglobal.org (Source : The Speaking Tree, Times of India, December 22, 2010). Yes, I dont know what is my status with regard to Big Bird Thinking ..... I do strongly feel and believe that I do have the habit of spontaneous emotional back lashes .... which is not in tune with this philosophy. I know those who fall in this category of thinking … are much above quick back lashes …. They go in for considered and well-thought out responses. But what about being natural and spontaneous … being simple and responsive ….. just in tune with the natural laws and nature. I think I need to think further on this. I think librarians on line these days are more into responsive …. Quick reactive mode than considered responses on wide range of their interests and avocations? Am I right? What about modern bloggers …. Can we find many bloggers who fall into the category of 'big bird thinkers' ?

What is this loving detachment?

Loving detachment "Truly wise is he who is un stirred by praise or blame , by love or hatred.  He is not moved by the opposites of life.  Verily does he delight in the blissful self." - Srimad Bhagavatam (Source : Sacred Space, Times of India, December 21, 2010). This line of thinking has always made me think a lot … …. Over and over again. In fact my friends, family and close associates call me as insensitive and non responsive to day today ups and downs in life. May be true … ………………….. it is rare that I cry … ………………….. yeas ……………… people say I have lot of patience ……………………………may be some others may call me as shameless ……………………thick skinned. In the heart of heart I know I am not insensitive ………………I do respond I do feel I do feel bad. The question that haunts is is it necessary that I must be so vocal about my sadness or happiness? But sincerely appreciate those who are vocal about their happiness or sorrows. I think people who express everything openly ……………frankly get lightened…………………….get relaxed then the ones who do not break down on any thing. May be ………………..i should know more about not being moved by opposites of life.  Is it that people don't get moved by opposites or that they really gone above such levels.  At times I have noticed some individuals like my father ….. some times a teacher …..not really responding ………………………………………..reacting much to the tunes of either happy moments or when some mishap happens. Could be when one puts on experience …………………….sees lots of ups and downs of life ……………….this could be the time ………………when one takes every thing easily …………………….. or they have moral balance to face ………………………realize the higher values of life…………………higher levels of ultimate realities of life.  Yes in this regard I need to learn a lot understand a lot with regard to being in blissful state…………………….and I will find time to do that sooner or later.

May be… just like I have morning tea … I may have to read such simple but powerful thoughts every day … every morning ..

Good morning, Universal Love "Try your best to treat others as you would wish to be treated yourself, and you will find that this is the shortest way to benevolence". – Mencius (Source : Sacred Space, Times of India, December 20, 2010). Yes , many a time I feel upset about the way some of my colleagues, friends and neighbours neglect me. They don't wish me when they see me for the first time on a day. I think I care every one … but why people around don't respond don't respond kindly. Yes may be the way want every one to treat me … I may not have done. I may have been busy in my own way … and that I did not treat some one with due attention… due care … due love … yes I have to learn to be kind to people around .. If I ever want others to be kind and loving towards me. What about those who had been very kind enough to be … so much caring towards me … and I had no time to respond to them in the same intensity with which they treated me all the times….. If Asha did not say good morning to me …. Why I did not say? Why should I expect only the others to start … why not with me. I know this as to why it happens this way …. And why I keep forgetting this every time … and I have to read inspiring words of great people like Mencius again and again. May be… just like I have morning tea … I may have to read such simple but powerful thoughts every day … every morning .. may be every night before going to bed. Why should I think that I have arrived at some perfections …. Why do I forget to learn on a regular basis day in and out!

Life is indeed more mysterious than we have ever imagined.

Life is indeed more more mysterious than we have every imagined. This I think I would have said several times.... I don't know how many times. Time and again it is said ... that we must be focused in what we do .... then and then only the desired goal is reached. At times we get confused as to what is my goal as such.... and in which direction we  are moving.  What I felt often is that we have some set goals ... we keep moving in that direction.... we may or may not succeed ... but we may continue to abide that desire to continue in that direction. What is important is what we get engaged in is what is close to our heart in-spite of our set goals.... pressing obligation. One may be an engineer ... but deeply obsessed with music.... One may be a doctor deeply obsessed by painting. Whatever may be vocation... profession .... by hook or crook .... how ever busy we are however critical it is to attend to other works .. one does spend time for a thing ... unusually ... extraordinarily ... exceptionally. I saw my father writing poems ... in a very very unusual time ... in a very very un usual situation.  People would just wonder what this man is doing at this juncture... time. This is a small example of how people hook on to what they love a lot....!!! People listen to what is close to their chest.

The Self is pure consciousness is O.K. What is this consciousness? I will deal it later. Guruma says that to be truly happy, you need to experience the Self. Now the question arises who experience the Self? Perhaps it is the Self alone which experiences Itself. Now we will discuss what is consciousness? I quote Norman Maclean from Sacred Space column: "Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it." Scientifically what state it should be? As far as my views are concerned it is the Gravity. All things ends up into Gravitational Force Field. And from here again all things manifest. In scientific terminology Source of Gravitational Force is God. Consciousness and Gravitation Force are two names of same supreme essence.

Strength and The ways of the world

Your struggles develop your strengths.  When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength" -Arnold Schwarzenegger (Source : Sacred Space, Times of India, December 14, 2010 ; Tuesday). The Ways of the World : "Unfairness is a part and parcel of life.  Such is the way of life.  Can we teach ourselves not to be victims of unfairness and face it with the understanding that life's mysteries cannot be fully understood?". (Source : The Speaking tree, Times of India, December 14, 2010 ; Tuesday). "Yes, what is the yardstick to assess and measure our strength …. The best yard stick is the way we face the hardships …. We will realize our strength this way better than by any other way I think.. We many a times realize that life is unfair towards us many a times…. What if this is the way life is?

Knowledge Management and Librarians

Knowledge management is rapidly becoming an integral function for many organizations - academic, corporate and others - as they realize that competitiveness hinges on effective management of their knowledge resources. In the present situation, where only certainty is uncertainty, one source of lasting competitive advantage is knowledge and its manipulation.

Researchers have discovered that knowledge is what the organization knows, how it uses what it knows, and how fast it can know something new, are the three major thing that offers an organization a competitive edge.

When are we going to take up KM seriously? Can we have a list of Librarians who are actively participating in the KM activities in their organisations?

Gratitude “A deep gratitude must be shown towards whole just for the opportunity that you are , that you can meditate, that you can be silent, that you can laugh” – Osho

Gratitude "A deep gratitude must be shown towards whole just for the opportunity that you are , that you can meditate, that you can be silent, that you can laugh" – Osho Yes. Golden words of Osho. What we are what we have are no less …. All of this is from nothing …. And we graduate into nothing… and nothing is everything. We forget many a times to express / show gratitude… to God, people around … our parents … the people who picked up when we wanted some one to lift us up. The moment we are in for showing gratitude… all our feelings and thoughts that we are left alone … no body bothers …. Will wash away. We feel light when we are in the plane of gratitude. Let us pay make it a habit to pay gratitude to any thing and every thing that matters to us that is around. Leave every thing on the almighty … every thing will be alright … do and think what you are upto. Rest will be taken care by the unknown and nothing. We must graduate to nothingness blissfully… happily. Hope all knowledge managers and librarians do say yes to me.

life and library ... what a comparison !!!!

Life and Library ....... what a beautiful comparison!  Yes Life is like a library owned by an author. It is true that in this library .... the books written by owner author are always less in number ..... the books written for this author outnumber the ones written by him. In a literal sense the above thinking is true. To me every one who enters in this world is an author. Every one ends up writing a book... may be some are able to voice it, record it.... or print it. And every ones' book remains eternal. No one can destroy any ones' book ... despite whether the same is published or not. Hope I make sense to the ones reading this write up. In Nothing can be created nor destroyed. Every thing is already there. Only thing is that the forms and shapes change continuously. Hope Librarians will appreciate my point of view! LbnRaj ; lotus5673@yahoo.co.in ; http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com December 09, 2010. "Life is like a library owned by the author.

Inner beauty is more stunning ... more valuable ... more dashing !!!!!!!!

" Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical ". - Sophia Loren. Every one some time or the other encounters some one so stunningly beautiful, charming .... but cannot put up to be with that person even for few seconds. One just cannot stand that person ... for any reason. Yes ..... the person is so ugly in thoughts ... so filthy in feelings .. so dirty in dealings .... one just cannot stand such a person however sparkling the physical image could be. So the inner beauty makes a person beautiful ... makes a person more beautiful. Yes I agree  to what Sophia Loren said ... hope librarians too agree to this!!!!!

Reason and Creativity.

Reason and creativity "Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense…… An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea." Gautama Buddha (Sacred Space, Times of India, December 7, 2010). True, we read and hear impressive quotes and sayings from far and near, from known and not so much known well-wishers individuals / scholars / leaders, but we may rarely be really impressed. The reason behind, …. Some thoughts are so close to our thoughts, reasoning … and heart that it looks like that is in fact our thought. Only thing We could not say it … or may be did not have better/appropriate words to express. Ya as long as thoughts / sayings / quotations don't touch our thinking and heart … we normally don't get impressed … don't get moved. We will never be able to get inspired by great thoughts … which our conscience does  not agree. Hope may responses are agreeable to Librarians.

Avva appa (mom and dad) ... the greatest gifts of god!!!!!!

Avva Appa ; December 06, 2010 ; 12.35am It has always been my ambition to keep writing day in and day out.  Many a time I feel and think may be I don't have much to say,  much to write and publish.  At times just for my satisfaction I struggle to write and I realize my pen does not move further.  May be I am deliberately trying to write on something I am not so well prepared.  Could be my thoughts and ideas are ripe…. But may be I don't get right words and phrases that are befitting.  All through many many years I have seen my appa finding time any where and everywhere to write.  May be that passion to write is present in my blood genetically.  What if I have  not yet kept those doors of my genetic inheritance that I had through my parents.  My be I have all the time for doing several things that I need to do for earning a living.  Alas! When will I realize that writing and publishing does not need any thing but passion and honesty.  When will I get into this luxury of finding time anywhere and every where just like that.  Nature's greatest gift to an individual is ones parents.  The giving that happens from parents to children is unending and priceless.  The connectivity between parents and children is so complete, so pious so pure……..that there is no parallel.  This love is best of all.  If there is any humility and humbleness in society it is because of ones love that is bestowed upon by ones parents. Parental love is unparallel……their acts of care and giving is unending.  I don't think any one will ever be able to return the same quantum of love, affection and care that one gets from ones parents.  I don't know where I stand in this natures scheme of things.  Several of dreams about my love affection, care and concern remain fulfilled.  This may be four years since when I could no9t make it at least to see my parents.  My avva for quite often reminded me, requested me, pestered me to come once and see her and my father.  I don't really know why I could not make it.  Now my avva and appa don't pester me to come and see them.  May be they realized why I am unable to see them.  I only keep telling them that I am busy and that it is difficult to take leave from my job.  The beauty of my avva and appa is … they understand more than what I want to tell them.  My very voice, my very vibrations over phone make them understand more and more of what I want to tell them.  I need not spell out everything over phone.  They understand me without my words.  They are better connected to me than I am connected to them.  At this age of 52 I am just a kid to them,…. I am just Raja to them.  I love you avva, I love you appa……… I do have feelings…. I do want to … I do long to meet you.  You understand that I am lost in making my living, I am lost in caring and loving my wife and kids.  This I learn from you only .   If I am a good husband and father……..I learnt this from you o9nly.  But I am your kid……… I am your raja……. I am with you, I am connected to you day in and out … Be smiling … be happy.

"The wise knows self as bodiless within bodies ......... Katha Upanishad"

A thought for the day "The wise who knows self as bodiless within bodies, as unchanging among changing  things, as great and omnipresent does never grieve……" – Katha Upanishad.. What a thought? It takes lot of efforts to understand this. One needs to get into silence, meditation and self introspection for may be hours and days together ….. may be years together. It may take years together as we get to explore in our own many a time erroneous ways. Yes it is wise to explore and introspect with the guidance of a spiritual guru. Yes …. The path may not be so simple …. But we have the glimpse of the cosmos …. Inner self …. N number of times during a day … during our sleep ….. the cosmic understanding seems far …. But it is so close by as well … as we are of it and as it is within us … around us …. Connecting us to any thing and every thing around…. Far and near. So let us try to befriend the great and omnipresent  …. Let us try to capture and stop by our intimate moments with the one that is within us … without us. Let us try unto ourselves..

Guard your words and work towards perfection ......

Guard your words   We should always be soft spoken.  Sweet speech has the ability to attract one and all.  On the contrary, vitriolic speech keeps people away.  That is why one should always be soft spoken so that it enhances brotherhood and affection. – Yajureda (Sacred Space : Times of India, December 2, 2010)   Towards perfection   Don't hesitate to ask or take help.  You are what you are which is a happy person preserving your spirit and that is the only thing which will decide your success in life. … love and essence of your being which is always unique and special and in pursuit of perfection. .. Where you feel you have to improve, work at it.  But where society feels you have not made the mark, make an indelible one with your vain spirit, even it it takes a little longer to do so. – Sudhamahi Reghunathan ( The Speaking Tree, Times of India, December 2, 2010) Librarianship is a noble profession                                                                                                                 http://indialibrarian-intl.blogspot.com/ lotus5673@yahoo.co.in 1816gbgv

Life is a reward .....

Say Goodbye With Grace "Don't make things small and big, trivial and important.  Every thing is important. …. That there is nothing which is great or small ; it all depends on you,  what you make of it.  Start with meditation, and things will grow in you – silence, serenity, blissfulness, sensitivity.  And whatever comes out of meditation, try to bring it out in life.  Share it, because everything shared grows fast. …. Life is a reward and it is given only to those who have earned it, who deserve it.  It will be against existence if you don't beautify it,  if you leave it just as you have found it.  So leave it a little happier, a little more beautiful, a little more fragrant."
