Humans and Elements

Our body contains many elements some are Oxygen, Carbon, Calcium, Phosphorous, Potassium, Sulphur, Sodium, Iodine, Iron, etc.

There are they two types of elements stable & unstable. An element is stable if it has the required number of electron in its outermost orbit. Unstable elements don’t have the required number of electrons in their outermost orbit, for stability they bond with one or many elements e.g. Sodium (Na) may combine with Chlorine (Cl) to become Sodium Chloride (NaCl) which is stable. Whereas some rare elements have the required number of electrons in their outermost orbit & thus they don’t get combined with other elements for stability. They are known as inert elements or stable elements or noble elements e.g. Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton, Xenon, & Radon.

Just like unstable elements majority of humans aren’t stable as majority of humans require a partner (relationship) for some type of stability in life. Whereas very rare humans are stable without a partner like noble elements & they can live happily without a partner e.g. Sages, Saints, Monks, Priests, Nuns, etc.

Some elements are highly radio-active like plutonium, uranium, etc. These elements are used for generating electricity in nuclear power plants. When these radio-active elements are bombarded with an electron, they start emitting electrons & a chain reaction starts.
 

Just like these elements emit electrons humans also vent their negativity or negative emotions in the form of anger or frustration when they get annoyed or upset by someone or by many or by themselves. Some scolds others, some abuse, some beat others, some may throw materials or objects, etc. They don’t feel peaceful till the venting of negative baggage isn’t over.

Right and wrong ways of getting joy or pleasure

Some people get happiness or gratitude by helping others, whereas some get pleasure by confusing or by not helping others or when they see others in problems.

Unlike Western countries majority of Indians don’t depend a lot on technology or softwares like GPS systems or Maps. Many Indians don’t hesitate to ask strangers for direction when required to reach a specific location.

Some times people looking for direction are lucky to get very helpful people who walk with them till the destination. Some helpful people explain the directions to be reached precisely with land-marks. Some speak about the right direction to be reached in short. At times these noble helpful people may get some type of joy & satisfaction.

Conversely there are some people who get happiness when they see others in confusion or in trouble as it gives them some feeling of superiority. There are many people who purposely give wrong information or directions when asked. When these dodgy people see others in search of a direction go next to them & even without knowing the right direction, confidently tell anything that comes in their mind. Moreover they even don’t hesitate in sharing their wrongful act amongst their friends & motivate their friends to do the same.

It just shows that some humans don’t have respect or sensitivity for their own species. In my opinion it can be due to the lack of understanding skills or maybe because some people have lost morals & sanity.

The helpful people get joy by helping & their joy will be followed by more joy as they will continue helping & they’ll keep getting opportunities to help others whereas the dodgy people may not have pleasure always & they may not be able to dodge people all the time. Thus their pleasure won’t be followed by pleasure.  Sometimes they may even scolded or punishment them for their wrongful act. Thus in my opinion it’s always nice to be righteous even if the path is difficult.

I believe that obstacles & impediments people learn their mistakes & become mature. It helps them understand what helplessness is & distinguish between right & wrong. Wish these wrongful people start putting themselves into a helpless person’s situation before giving him/her wrong instructions or directions.

Rebooting Life

At times electronic devices like a computer, laptop, netbook, tablet, smart phone don’t run at their optimum speed. To make the device run at its normal speed we generally close all the running applications & then restart (reboot) the device.

Our body is just like an electronic device at times it doesn’t function at its optimum level. By rebooting it one can make it function normally.

Rebooting an electronic device just takes pressing a button for some seconds, but rebooting life takes some time. The rebooting process varies from person to person as everyone’s body, lifestyle, age is different.

There are many techniques of rebooting life. It can be done at an emotional level or physical level or both. Organisations like meditation centres, Yoga Institutes, etc help in rebooting body. One has to spend some time at these places. The meditation centres & Yoga institutes make participants learn & do a lot of exercises that relaxes & rejuvenates the body mentally, physically & spiritually.

Other places like Panchkarma centres, spas, etc detoxify the body. In some centres people have to stay for some days. During their stay they are only allowed to eat satvic food. Satvic food is light for the body & it enhances the detoxification process. Various other techniques like body massage with herbal oils, steam bath, some other techniques like detoxifying liver, intestines, colon, etc improve the body functioning.

Cleansing the body & mind with the above techniques helps in getting positive thoughts. Body starts functioning at its optimum level. There can also be a spiritual awakening.

Vacationing at a nice place for some time can also relax & distress the mind.

Roger that

I was watching a US Army footage with some of my friends. The footage was old & the audio quality was poor. Many times the word Roger was repeated in the footage. Some of my friends thought that there was a guy named Roger in the footage.

Many will think the same however no Army personnel’s name was Roger in that footage.

“Roger” is a slang word, usually used in radio transmissions such as military communications.

“Roger” in US Army or US defence agencies like FBI or CIA means “received”. Many times Army or military personnel or FBI or CIA agents say “Roger that” or “Copy that” it means “received that” or “understood that”

“Roger over” or “Copy over” means “received & waiting for next message”

Some other slang words or jargons often used by Military personnel during radio transmission are “BOLO” means “be on the look out”.

“Out” means "I have finished speaking, & the conversation is finished; don't reply".

“Pop smoke” means “leave”.

“Wilco” means “will comply”.

 “0 dark 30” means “Too early in the morning”.

Chidambara Rahasayam

Rahasayam means a mystery. Being born in Mrig Nakshatra I’m found of studying mysterious subjects. As a child I had tremendous desire to know about Chidambara Rahasayam. I tried to search information about it but I wasn’t content with what I understood about it. My curiosity made me visit Chidambaram Temple in Tamil Nadu. In the temple I asked some saints about Chidambara Rahasayam.

The saints told that in some people’s opinion GOD can only be accessed after death i.e. posthumously but in reality one can even access GOD when he/she is alive.

They added that everything is a creation of GOD & GOD is immanent, omnipresent & transcendent.

In simple words people following Hinduism believe that GOD is the creator of everything & GOD is everywhere (sky, earth & underground) i.e. GOD is ‘here & now’ & ‘here & beyond.’

To understand how everything is divinity’s creation we first need to understand that to create anything 5 elements are required i.e. Space, Fire, Earth, Air, & Water. We all know that without space any creation is impossible, thus space has to be created first. We all even know that space is divinity’s creation as creating space requires time & time is not in any human’s control, it’s only controlled by almighty.

Chidambara is made up of 2 words. Chit & Ambar. Chit means consciousness & Ambaram means sky or covering. Thus Chidambara means one who is conscious & covers space.

Many people following Hinduism worship Fire, Earth, Air & Water, but forget to worship space. We may have seen many times that after performing Pooja or Aarti a priest looks above in the sky (space) & even points essence sticks & Aarti lamp towards sky (space).

Many times sports players look at the sky (space) after giving their best performance. Some soccer players point their finger towards sky (space) after scoring a goal or after winning a match, some cricket players especially Mr. Tendulkar points his cricket bat towards sky (space) after scoring a century.

Many spectators don’t know much about these gestures. They wonder why priests, sports players do this act. This is the Rahasyam, thus it’s known as Chidambara Rahasayam.
