அகம் மலர முகம் மலரும்
அகம் மலர முகம் மலரும்
அகத்தின்
அழகு முகத்தில் தெரியும் என்பது பழைய மொழி. மனதில் ஓடும் எண்ணங்கள்
மற்றும் உணர்வுகள் முகத்தில் பிரதிபலிக்கிறது என்பதில் இரு வேறு கருத்து
இருக்க முடியாது.
இலக்குகளை அடைந்து
விட்ட பிறகு சிலர் முகத்தில் மலர்ச்சியை காணலாம். ஆஸ்கர் விருதுக்கு பிறகு
ரஹ்மான் சார் முகம், உலகக் கோப்பை ஜெயித்த பிறகு தோனி முகம் நல்ல உதாரணம்.
சிலரின்
முகம் மலர்ந்து காணப் படுவது ஒரு வயதுக்கு பிறகு, சில சாதனைகளுக்கு பிறகு,
சில வலிகளுக்கு பிறகு. எல்லாம் அடைந்து விட்ட திருப்தியில் அமிதாப் சார்
முகம், குழந்தை பெற்று எடுத்த எந்த தாயின் முகம், நோயிலிருந்து விடுபட்டு
வந்த பிறகு மனிஷா கொய்ராலா முகம் ஒரு சில எடுத்துக்காட்டுகள்.
யோகம், த்யானம், சில சாதகங்கள் செய்த பிறகு சிலர் முகம் களையாய் தேஜசாய் மாறி இருக்கும், உதாரணத்திற்கு மஹா பெரியவாளின் முகம், குரு ஜக்கி வாசுதேவ் அவர்களின் முகம், ஸ்ரீ மஹாத்ரயா ராவின் முகம் சில நல்ல உதாரணங்கள்.
தனது
தொழிலை, செயலை ரசித்து வாழும் சிலரின் முகம் சில வருடங்களுக்குப் பிறகு
மலர்ச்சியை காட்டும் - சுதா ரகுநாதன், நடிகர் விக்ரம், நடிகை ஸ்ரீதேவி, டி
எம் கிருஷ்ணா, பில் கேட்ஸ், ரத்தன் டாடா.
முன்பை
விட இன்னும் அழகாக நாம் காணும் நயன்தாரா, ஆர்யா, ஜீவா, சிம்பு, தனுஷ்,
பாடகர் ஸ்ரீனிவாஸ், ஆமிர் கான், பிரியாங்கா சோப்ரா, செய்னா நேஹ்வால்,
தத்தம் துறையில் மகிழ்வுடன் இருப்பது காரணமாக இருக்கலாம்.
தொடர்
தோல்விகள், ஏமாற்றங்கள், அவமானங்கள், இழப்புகள் நம் அகத்தை சீர் குலைத்து
முகத்தில் பிரதிபலிக்கும். கணவனை இழந்த பாடகி நித்யஸ்ரீ, குழந்தையை இழந்த
பாடகி சித்ரா, மனைவியை இழந்த இசை ஞானி, விளையாட்டில் புறக்கணிக்கப்பட்ட
கம்பீர், எதிர்பாரா தோல்வி கண்ட விஸ்வநாதன் ஆனந்த், இவர்கள் முகங்கள் சாட்சி.
அழுக்கு
துணியை காலையில் சுமக்கும் போதும், வெளுத்து சுத்தமான துணியை மாலையில்
சுமக்கும் போதும் முகத்தை ஒரே மாதிரி வைத்துக் கொள்ளும் கழுதை நமக்கு மிகப்
பெரிய ஆசான். வெற்றி-தோல்வி, வருத்தம்-மகிழ்ச்சி, திருப்தி-ஏமாற்றம் எது
வந்தாலும் அகத்தையும் முகத்தையும் ஒரே மாதிரி வைத்துக் கொள்ளக் கற்பது அரிய
கலை, வித்தை. எல்லோருக்கும் அது சாத்தியம் அல்ல. எந்த உணர்வுமே காட்டாத
நரசிம்ம ராவ் போல இருத்தல் கூட கடினம் தான்.
நல்ல
அல்லது கெட்ட நிகழ்வுகளில் தலையை காட்ட வேண்டும் என்பார்கள். ஆனால் ஒரு
போதும் முகத்தை காட்ட கூடாது தானே...! யாரையும் கை காட்டவும் கூடாது.
விரல்
ஆட்டினால் செயல் நடக்கும் சில சமயம். கண் அசைத்தால் காரியம் நிறைவேறும்
சில சமயம். எதுவானாலும் முகத்தினை கவனமாக வைத்துக் கொள்ள வேண்டும். பிறர்
நம்மை எடை போடாதவாறு. அதற்கு அகம் தனை சரியாக வைத்துக் கொள்ளுதல் மிக
அவசியம்.
பிரார்த்தனை,
பக்தி, நம்பிக்கை, தியானம், யோகா, நல்ல நம்பிக்கைகள், செயல்பாடுகள் நம்
அகத்தை சீராகவும் முகத்தை நேர்த்தியாகவும் வைத்துக் கொள்ள உதவும். அகம்,
முகம் மலர அகிலமே மலரும். அதற்காக வேண்டுவோம், நலமே நாளும் நாடுவோம்.

Why struggle and juggle when one can gain without pain…!
Why
struggle and juggle when one can gain without pain…!
-
Dr.Balasandilyan,
Thought Leader, Transformation Coach and CEO, www.visionunlimited.in. M-9840027810
It is not a shock but shame to see lots of Gen Y employees
saying this with smile and without hesitation, “why should I struggle when
there are umpteen ways to succeed in life without any pain?” Is this right? Is
this true? No need to debate on this whilst many employers and bosses are
reluctant to ask their colleagues or team members, “Why you have not done
this?”
Freedom is not roaming without commitment BUT work
with self-starter mentality and additional responsibility.
Cows would move forward with the sound of horns and
not buffaloes. I do not dare to compare human beings with buffaloes for sure. I
would like to ask, “Do we need tail-twisters around us to make us move forward
like cattle or can we move forward in life without any pull or push?” If people
are bent upon a system where they need someone to pull or push for every task,
it is definite downfall to humanity and disappointment to the entire community.
Greed, power, authority or punishment, insecurity
are the driving force today in many places, whether private or other sectors.
We have forgotten that there is a joy in serving or doing our duty. Alas!
Mobiles and other gadgets are the main distractors
or roadblocks to the routine responsibilities in the office environment. Only a
few organizations have taken the bold step of mobile-submission at the entrance
or security like schools and colleges. Can people be self-disciplined rather
than enforced decorum?
In certain Government offices, it is a pity that the
Officers instead of getting the job done, he or she does the job though they
are the authority to delegate. They feel delicate in delegating as people just
refuse orders in the office and that is the order of the day.
We may just follow M.K.Gandhi and declare “Customer
is God”. We need not pray or touch feet of the customer. At the same time we
may give them due respect and render the service with smile without demanding
the undue. It is a pity that the ‘Trade Unions” have taught people how to fight
for their rights but failed to train people to work with commitment and
responsibility.
People who have visited Singapore must have
experienced one strange but beautiful thing. The people who use public toilets
can give their remarks or evaluate on the system of cleaning as a 360 degree
feedback or appraisal. That much is the transparent system one can see abroad.
Can we imagine such a tool or gadget or system to evaluate a Public sector Bank
employee or an Insurance employee in our country…? Those who are rated high by
this public valuation system can be rewarded and acknowledged and vice-versa.
When customers are treated badly the concerned
employee must face the music as per this system. Bosses must stop dancing to
the tunes of the high-handed subordinates. It is possible when we have
inspiring and role model leaders.
In private sector the employees are squeezed and in
the public sector the customer is squeezed. This must change at the earliest.
There is a need for right attitude of employees.
‘Take it for granted’ employees must be shunned
with.
There was news in the recent past about a
responsible driver who stopped the bus he was driving with lots of passengers
when he had severe chest pain. He was rushed to the nearest hospital, where he
died AND he saved many a lives on the contrary. It is very rare to see people
with such commitment these days in any organization.
People who work with ready-made smiles and with
mechanical attitudes are to be changed through stringent ‘attitude’ training.
To gain without pain kind of attitude has to be
changed when they are in schools and it is difficult to make the habits change
after some age.
Our country will be the youngest in the world in
terms of average age in another couple of years. It is time to look into this
matter and create responsible citizens if we have to shine globally across
sectors.
We need to make this as a movement at home, at
schools, at colleges and in organizations – to work with responsibility and
commitment without any external pull or push.
Notice sportsmen kissing their bats or gadgets,
musicians touching the stage with respect. This is the sign of ‘respect’ one
shows to their profession.
Profession or the workplace is where we gain
respect, recognition, esteem, status, rewards apart from money. Why we cannot
pay respect to our profession or workplace?
Any mental block in this line of thinking must
change without any haste. Or else the people of this country would be labelled
as “waste”.
Youthful India must
get transformed into Useful India. Our values, brought-up culture need to be
adored, valued and followed. East or West must turn to us as the ‘most
resourceful’ place in the WorldMonday, December 23, 2013
Quotes...for your eyes and mind
From Bala’s Desk
"Reflecting on an idea sets the
process of
creation into action..." -- Dr Wayne Dyer

"Just as throwing a ball is
action that leads to
a higher bowling average; a few moments
musing about what you intend to manifest
will have precisely the same effect on your
manifesting average..." -- Dr Wayne Dyer

Let us not allow people,
circumstance, issues to decide our 'expiry' date..! Clean habits, life style,
perfect food and calm in the mind can alter the date...!
There are 3 sides of an argument,
your side, my side and the Right side. The infinite is the source of joy. There
is no joy in the finite. Get to know the infinite. Joy is definite.
Our feather - not for others to fly
! Our freedom - not for others to rule..! Free yourself from worry and
agony...to get into Happiness
The trouble with most of us is that
we would rather be ruined by praise than saved by criticism
If yesterday did not end up the way
you wanted remember God created today for a new try and a new beginning..the
best is yet to come..(Chodo kalki baathaein ..kalki baat puraani..Naye daur
mein likhengae milkar nayi kahani)
Man has been sent as the 'Messenger'
who forgot the message...Alas. what a loss..Now his eyes and ears are closed
and only the mouth is open...The heart and mind ..missing too.
Talking is not doing Words are not deeds Seeds are
not fruits Needs of the soul are to be met.
வார்த்தைகள் செயல்கள் ஆகாது விதைகள் கனிகள் ஆகாது
ஆன்மாவின் தேடல்கள் தேவைகள் மட்டும் நிறைவு ஆகாது ..!

Strategy without tactics is the
slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.
Theory without practice is useless. Practice without theory is baseless.
The tongue is like a sharp knife
that can draw blood and can harm people.
Need to acquire strength to overcome.
கத்தியை போன்ற கூர் நாக்கு குத்திப் பேசியே இரத்தம் இழுக்கும்
பெற வேண்டும் சக்தி மீண்டு நிற்க நம்மை ஆண்டு நிற்க...!

We have much stress in life.
Because, we focus too much on good living standards rather than living with
good standards...!
வாழ்க்கை தரத்தை உயர்த்த நினைக்கும் நாம் உயர்தரமான வாழ்வை வாழ
எண்ணினோம் என்றால் மன அழுத்தம் இருக்காது

Anything that we do must have
neatness, cleanliness and with aesthetic sense.
Our genuine interest and passion would reflect automatically.
எது செய்தாலும் அழகுணர்ச்சி, கலையுணர்ச்சி, நேர்த்தி இருந்தால்
அது கீர்த்தியைக் கொணர்ந்து சேர்க்கும் அதற்கு ஆர்வம், ஆற்றல், அழகுணர்வு, அவசியம் தேவை

When perfect minds meet the magic
happens.... the spark appears...
new idea begins..! Wait for the moment.

Flaws are common and let us accept
and feel comfortable around people who have them. We are here with good
intentions as well.
நோக்கம் நல்லது எனும் போது குறைகள்
என்றும் மனதில் நிறைவதில்லை
குறையோடு நம்மையும் பிறரையும் ஏற்போம்.

Relationship is like a rubber band
held at both ends by two people. When one leaves, it hurts the other.
இரு குதிரைகள் இழுக்கும் அன்பு வாகனமே உறவுமுறை. ஒன்று முரண்டு பிடித்தாலும் உறவு புரண்டு விடும்.

All your joys can not depend on
growth..some on your new memories..and some on your new ideas too...!

Rewind memories. Reunite with
friends. Relive nostalgia and rewrite your goal statement, revisit your vision
- whenever your morale is down..!
If one has to name a single
all-purpose instrument of leadership, it would be communication
If you are saddened by others'
sorrow then sorrow will never come to you and if you are happy at others' joy
then joy will never leave you
A Blind person went to temple.
Someone asked, "you cannot see God then why are you here?". He
answered, "So what? I know for sure God can see me." Passion is
required for success in professional life and compassion is required for
success in personal and social life
We are made wise not by the
recollection of our past, but by the responsibility for our future...! However

will experience heaven on earth...!

Being ungrateful is just in the
increase : Just one proof : "Tobacco companies kill their best
customers"! Let us be grateful for every insight..!
The first and fabulous step to share
happiness is to wish people complete happiness and abundant prosperity on
festive days. Celebrate it with joy
For some, fitness is the disease;
for some it is the drug. Three legs to this stand is : adequate sleep, apt
exercise routine and balanced diet..! (not balance diet) !
One small and good partnership with
God can create endless possibilities... Feel love in you, breath love through
you, feel divine in you without limits and setbacks and You will see that
EMPTINESS becomes EVERYTHING...!
Onion won't make you cry but the price.
Surgeries won't give you pain but the fees. Mobiles are not held but the
'brands'. Cars won't move you but the name. Sachin Tendulkar may not score at times but his NAME. Food in restaurants may
not subside our appetite but the bill. Let us get into root always and not the
surface when we face any issue.
You can very soon move to a new
address - if you address your problems as challenges without self-limiting
beliefs. Enhance divine qualities like fearfulness, purity of heart and
charity.
The whole World may recognize two
words "Huh' and 'Mama'. But breathing oxygen is universal. Consuming water
is universal. Mother only delivers. Same way LOVE and MONEY are also the words
universally recognized. But I put Love before Money...! How about you...!?
Discussion leads to knowledge Argument leads to
enemies
Courage is resistance to fear,
mastery of fear, not absence of fear! Same way if we are not at peace with
ourselves we are at peace with nothing...!
We have a room to sit, a room to
pray, a room to sleep, a room to cook and dine, WHY not make ROOM for joy?
Sweep resentment, regret, worry, grumbling, and blame out of this room and you
will feel nothing BUT joy.
Courage is resistance to fear,
mastery of fear, not absence of fear! Same way if we are not at peace with
ourselves we are at peace with nothing...!
Money is not everything. Value is.
Esteem is. Self-respect is. Satisfaction is. Luxury is not everything. Comfort
is. Love is. Care is. The most expensive gift you can give another is YOU ! Are
you ready....?!
When power can be generated from
waste, why not from young people's mind...And it becomes difficult for life
when education is to produce human machines...We need to add LIFE in people.
One Bill rule the Desk. One
expression of YES WE CAN rule US. One metal rule the land. One liquid rule the
road and air. BUT ONLY one bat ruled the Score Board. He always cheered us. It
is our turn to return the favor. Let us pray for his harmony and peace of mind
When we were all children, we never
had a watch of our own but time available was plenty...now all of us have the
costliest branded watches But there is no time...We run faster than the time.
We hate a few because we have not
understood them. As we hate a few we refuse to understand them.
Everthing is Pre-written! But, with
prayers, bliss and grace, it can be "Re-written"!
Wise men speak because they have
something to say; fools because they have to say something.
Life is not about the STEPS you have
taken, but it is about the FOOTPRINTS you leave behind. Start early when
collecting money or honey...stop recollecting the unwanted memory
A true leader is like "ice
cube". You break, crush, squeeze, beat and grind them...still they chill
your drinks.
"I did a favor" - telling
this repeatedly to a friend is NOTHING but insulting him. Those who are guilty
feel that all eyes are on them.
We have literally invisible
handcuffs and are situational prisoners with our hands tied - there is no
sacred but SAD news everyday in the media. How do we change this...! Right Role
Models are to be declared and adored perhaps.
A very good relationship needs just
two things: A little time to be spent with them and a true care to be shown
always.
All of us are fighting with our 'integrity'.
Gut feeling, intuition, and self-introspection are best guiding factors.
It is better to be a Turtle who
walks patiently and enjoys every step of the way. Rather than to be a Rabbit
who runs fast but missing every details in life.
The question is not whether we are
able to change but whether we are changing fast enough.
Tolerance is the highest degree of
strength, and urge to take revenge is the first sign of weakness. Nobody is
more dangerous than he who imagines himself pure in heart.
Journey of discovery is towards
Finite. The journey is infinite. The finding is definite. First step is the
search for meaning of existence.
Take a music bath once or twice
every season without reason. You will find it is to the soul what a water bath
is to the body. Where words fail, music speaks.
The depth of our character is
revealed in the way we respond to situations we dislike.
When you make a choice you change
the future. Choose well and choose your success very well.
Formal education will make you a
living. Self education will make you a fortune.
Talking about problems is an
addiction - about joy it may be prediction....yet declare it and the same would
happen.
A very good relationship needs just
two things. A little time to be spent with them and A true care to be shown
always.
We tend to teach people how to treat
us by what we allow, what we stop, and what we reinforce
No matter who you are, no matter
what you are, no matter where you have come from, you can always change
provided you want to...The two most important days in your life are the day you
are born and the day you find out why
Standing up...now way to
work...chair-free offices lead employees burning more calories and also saving
from diabetics. Let us stand, understand, withstand...to stand long and tall
Key is to keep things simple. Lock
is our own mental block with being disorganized and postponing things.
No discrimination between people for
God, Cancer, Technology, Mental agony and Scarcity mind. Be clear with the list
of inclusion - where your name has to be...!
The naked reality of shameless acts
of human is being watched through the lens of God's CCTV. He writes his verdict
in shadows that would come to light.
Doing good to others is not a duty
or shameful act. It is a joy, for it increases your own health and happiness.
Find the joy of being and doing good.
Everything is fine" - that
could be our illusion. Let's define everything; that is the solution. When we
define it is called GOAL, otherwise it is called TARGET.
It is not what you do for your
children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make
them successful human beings.
When something not so good happens,
there are 3 possibilities. You can either let it define you, let it destroy
you, or (better is) you can let it strengthen you. Believe. Behave. Be brave.
We need to control 3Ts - Temper,
Tongue, Temptation. 3Bs to watch - Beauty, Behavior, Bravery.
Being Happy does not mean everything
is perfect. It just means that you have decided to see everything beyond imperfections..
You know why God created gap between
fingers...so that some day a true friend like you will come and fill those gaps
by holding the hands forever.
