Food For Thoughts

You must have seen that children have a lot of enthusiasm for everything. S/he is always full of energy from the time S/he wakes up in the morning till S/he goes to sleep at night. They may have a sense of competition with each other, but they do not keep hatred within their hearts. They are eager to know anything new. They neither worry about the unseen future nor do they like to carry the burden of the past on their souls.  But the flip side of our life is that as we grow older and mature, we tend to lose out on this enthusiasm, fun, and vitality. After completing a school-college education, when one has to face the real struggles of life, then there is a sudden lack of enthusiasm towards life.  Many philosophers, sociologists, and social psychologists have explained this impatience in their own way and also suggested ways to get rid of it. Broadly speaking, all of them have named this problem 'separation' (meaning lack of attachment) which is 'alienation'. Communists...

1. In the midst of the constant movement of life, we forget to think in which direction our flow is going and what is the meaning of this fluency. Is life living us or are we living life? Is life progressing on the basis of our values, ideals, and principles or are we just passing on momentary impulses? And when we start looking for answers to these questions, then only we turn from our outer world to the inner world, and from here begins the inner conflict. The duality between our theoretical and practical life; The conflict between our desires, aspirations, social beliefs, and stereotypes; The duality between our immediate and real desires. This sequence continues continuously. The mind makes up its reasoning and the heart raises its voice. 2. Sometimes we become inactive by getting caught in the cycle of sin-virtue, good-bad, karma-kukarma,  and this inaction gives rise to indolence. But the truth is that when a person thinks so much, then he will not be able to do any work. So...

लीजिए साहब, आ गया 14 फरवरी। पूरी दुनिया में कमाल का बवाल है इस दिन। पता नहीं कब से दुनिया में आया? कैसे आया? अलग-अलग कहानियां प्रचलित हैं और इस बारे में कोई ठोस तथ्यात्मक जानकारी भी उपलब्ध नहीं है। पर साहब, आया और ऐसा आया कि देखते ही देखते पूरी दुनिया के हर देश में बिना पासपोर्ट-वीजा के कोरोना की तरह घुस गया और करोड़ों लोगों को अपने पाश में ले लिया।  वैसे वेलेंटाइन डे और वायरस दोनों हुए तो नाम के लिहाज से एक ही राशि के और यदि बात की जाए तो गुण-दोष भी काफी कुछ समान हैं। वायरस में नाक बंद हो जाता है और वेलेंटाइन में आंख-कान बंद हो जाते हैं। आदमी को कुछ दिखता नहीं। वायरस में बुखार आता है, वेलेंटाइन में भी प्रेम का बुखार चढ़ता है कि बस उतरे ना उतरे।  वारयस से सांस की तकलीफ होती है, वेलेंटाइन में भी प्रेमी आहें भरता है, घुट-घुटकर सांस लेता है। वारयस से थकान होती है, शरीर टूटता है, वेलेंटाइन में भी आदमी बस उठना नहीं चाहता। गम और मोहब्बत के गाने सुनता है। वायरस फटाफट फैलता है, वेलेंटाइन भी जो फैला है पिछले कुछ सालों में कि रुक ही नहीं रहा। वायरस से बचाव है कि मास्क पहनो, ...

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 'consc...

Dear Readers... In your everyday life, you will often see that where some people are very humble in spite of being successful and powerful. At the same time, there are also some people who are proud of their power or ability.  1. It is natural to have some degree of pride in one's successes or abilities and it is also good from the point of view of psychology; But when this pride starts becoming uncontrolled and unreasonable, it takes the form of pride or arrogance and the personality is covered like a stain. It is very important to explain to such a person that being arrogant or boasting is basically a kind of stupidity that is better to avoid. 2. The psychology of an arrogant person is egocentric. He places himself at the center of the universe and interprets everything else from his point of view. The feeling of 'I' becomes its permanent feeling.  Encouraged by his small successes, he believes that this world is running because of him.  It is important to keep a lit...

As a child, I had heard someone say or maybe read somewhere that 'you know what you know, you don't know what you don't know. This childhood thing has made such a home in my mind that I have lost my faith in such things as " In the end, the truth does come out"  or  "the lie has no feet" . Everything seems suspicious to me. 1. For example...  (I) If someone says that Potassium Cyanide is the most dangerous poison in the world and death is caused by keeping it in the mouth, then the question arises in the mind that then how did it become the most dangerous poison in the world? This became the most luxurious poison.  (II) Somebody says that Switzerland is the most beautiful country in the world, then I would say that Switzerland is the most beautiful country in the world because their cameras and photography techniques are very advanced, otherwise, our Kashmir is also no less beautiful than anywhere, Just our boys have grabbed guns instead of cameras. 2....

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...

You will often see that some people are filled with strange confidence in their thoughts and behavior. There is a feeling in their mind that whatever they think or do is necessarily right. They do not see any conflict between any two of their thoughts or behaviors. On the other hand, you must have also seen some people who do not seem confident about any of their ideas. There are conflicts in their different views about which they feel stressed. Such gaps also exist in their various behaviors.  1. From the conversation so far, you must have felt that the people of the  first class  are better and successful than the people of the second class, but the truth is the opposite. The second-class people are undoubtedly much better. There can be only two types of people of the first-class - one who has not yet understood the complexities of life, and secondly, those who live the complexities of life but who have never tried to look honestly within themselves. The truth is that ...
