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

Strength and The ways of the world Strength : "Strength does not come from winning. 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? Any attempt to unravel the mysteries this unfairness is the unravel the mystery of life itself. The real answer I hope could fairly be answered by gyani's like Basava, Akkamahadevi, Osho, Jiddu, Sukhbodhananda and Shri Shri".

Life is for living / Swami Brahmdev, aurovalley@gmail.com   If you want to live a better life or not, if you want to know more about yourself, or not; if you want to live this life knowing yourself or without knowing yourself.  This is w3hat we must learn.  Don't live a life with ignorance.  ; live with awareness, with knowledge.  Then you can grow, then you can progress and fulfill the purpose of life.

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.
