Have you ever thought about the question that WHY do we feel INCOMPLETE?



Is it because of our external circumstances or in our psychology? If you look closely, the reasons for this are visible on both levels. In many cases our circumstances make us feel incomplete. 



For example, every person would be more beautiful/intelligent than someone or the other and less beautiful/intelligent than someone or the other. If he feels confident in front of a person less beautiful/intelligent than himself, then he starts feeling incomplete in front of a person beautiful/intelligent than himself. 



But the problem of incompleteness does not depend only on external circumstances. There is also a psychological aspect to it, the most serious explanation of which has been given by the existentialist thinker Jean-Paul Sartre. 



Sartre said that the nature of human consciousness is such that it is surrounded by the feeling of 'nothingness'. To put it in his language, there is a 'consciousness of absence' in our consciousness. This absence is not of 'this' or 'that' thing, but of 'that condition' in which there is no deficiency, that is, the person has attained all kinds of perfection. Since this situation is impossible, therefore the consciousness of lack persists and keeps us restless. 



** Virtually every person succeeds in some aspects of his life and fails in some, But our mindset is such that we do not pay attention to the importance of the aspects in which we are successful. Due to this nature of ours, we are not able to get out of the web of incompleteness in spite of any effort/action !!!

Because it is not just about a temple, it is about correcting a historical wrong...(क्योंकि यह सिर्फ एक मंदिर की बात नहीं है, यह एक ऐतिहासिक गलती को सुधारने की बात है...)

We are on the cusp of a cultural and civilizational Renaissance. 22nd of January is a date that this country is waiting with bated breath for (the Ram temple consecration). What should be our thoughts at this moment in terms of reclaiming our cultural and religious ethos seen in the life of any nation?  Let's start with a similar kind of example of Spain (where the majority follows Christianity). When the Arab armies took over Spain in the 8th Century every Cathedral they converted into mosques but when Spain regained it in the 13th century they built back everything without exception . i.e. Cordoba Mosque     Valencia Cathedral     Old Cathedral of Lleida     Visigothic Cathedral So in India, this should have been done before 1950 (from 1947 to 1950). Because abilities required to be a successful nation are not just in its resources, politics, and military but it's in the spirit of the people . If people feel defeated they're not going to do great thi...

Because 'SILENCE' is not empty, It is full of expression... (क्योंकि 'मौन' खाली नहीं होता, यह अभिव्यक्ति से भरा होता है...)

You will often meet people who are extremely vocal in their expressions. They always have a limitless stock of things. In any conversation, they listen less and talk more. They do not feel any hesitation in expressing their opinion on any issue. Usually, such people are kept in the category of smart people and most people want that they should also have a fearless and assertive personalities like them. On the other hand, you must have also seen some people who are generally silent. On the issue on which the outspoken persons appear to be fighting among themselves, these persons remain very calm even on those issues. The general belief is that people who remain silent have a suppressed personality and often no one wants to allow themselves to be included in this category. Most parents teach their children to be assertive from childhood and if a child remains calm then it becomes a cause of worry for his/her family. There will also be some of you readers who generally prefer to remain si...

Because ATTITUDE is the mirror of personality… (क्योंकि नज़रिया व्यक्तित्व का आईना होता है...)

Often you will come across two types of people – those who make you depressed because of their clumsiness or irritability and  those who win your heart with their liveliness and generosity . Needless to say that we all want to see ourselves included in the second category.  The hallmark of irritable people is that they are always complaining about something or the other. If someone cooks and feeds them with love, then they start counting the shortcomings in that food too. In fact, he complains about everything except himself. No two words of praise come out of his mouth even on the greatest merit. There is a practice of calling such people ' wretched'  in common language and usually everyone wants to keep distance from them.  On the other hand, the specialty of lively and cheerful people is that they find reasons to be happy even in the worst of circumstances. Even if someone feeds them half-cooked food, there would no wrinkle on their forehead. On the contrary, fill...
