Realm of sadness

We may not get luck 2 times in life. God gives grievances for learning from mistakes and to awake from ignorance. Unfortunately most people don't utilize it and in the end it will be wasted. Christ said- be awake, don't sleep its is related to ignorance but they don't learn anything and again keep sleeping. We should not feel desperate in such defeats. We don't take any precautions or plans for overcoming such mistakes, So what happens is- our failures used to continue and sadness follows the suit. It continues again and again by not learning from mistakes. 

If we ask a person who felt depressed after defeats - Friend why are you not learning from mistakes? he replies with another question, what is there to learn? everything is fate. so we are trying to be scape goat in the name of fate. there is also another type of answer from a defeated person. I also know we should learn from life, but for learning one should need good mood, when I am sad and melancholic how can I learn? when I am better I will learn. This is the typical answer from a lazy depressed person. These ignorant people will never learn anything from life from such an attitude and invite failures and defeats more and more. he is sacrificing himself to the prone of defeats.

If you want to escape from this disgrace, then get up and fight. Start learning and Stop weeping. Weeping makes you more weak nothing else. Thus learn. All circumstance are created for learning, so utilize it gracefully. Understand that sadness is a gift from god for you to learn. He is the greatest teacher among teachers, so doing a favour by giving an opportunity for learning by giving sad incidence. Its for making man to think and walk through the straight path of life. If you are wasting such golden opportunities and waiting for another golden opportunity then please remember this Arab proverb "Dawn does not come twice to awaken a man" 

Origin of Wisdom

Read a lot, listen more, these are the two proposals put forward by intellectuals for making a man to become wise. The more you read, the more you listen, the chance of becoming wise will also be brighter. It is a true concept, but the fact is, you won't become wiser just by reading or listening. Wisdom lies in thinking. You have to think over the ideas you read or listened and analyze whether it is 'right or wrong'. To realize the nature of the concept you have to ponder over it again and again.

You should have the insight that, all ideas emerging from a person who you think is wise may not be RIGHT and also all the ideas forwarded by a person whom you think is 'not wise' may not be WRONG as well. By thinking over, the difference between the two can be easily traced. Therefore, thinking is the fundamental ingredient for becoming wise. The person who cannot think is not wise even though he may have read a lot; because he live upon swallowing others ideas than digesting it and make it as his own. It is obvious that one has not understood the ideas he read or listen into, hence it always remains as others' ideas. It will be wise to remember the Japanese proverb-”If you believe everything you read, better not read”

Controversial issue of textbooks-3

2. Should we give importance to a school text for religious identity?

The school text was prepared for the kids to study. But now it is the elders who studied it more than kids!! i don't think any one will remember and follow anything which he studied in schools, particularly when it comes to religious issues. Majority of kids studies school books only for obtaining marks. When years are rolled by, none will even remember it seriously. I don't even remember what i have studied in class 7 or 10. it is forgotten now. One cannot shape his character by studying text books at any point of time. in addition that the contents of the books are subject to change all the time.

The science I have studied in the last 20 years and the science kids study now are not the same. The theories are subject to change as long as new discoveries happen. And modern kids even study that, what we studied was wrong and baseless. A kid who studied that (baseless theory) got a A grade, and the modern kid who studies that old theory was baseless also gets an A grade. In the future the most modern kid will study that the theory the kids studied in this year was baseless and grab another A grade. So how can you give importance to studies in schools for forming a sound character?

Moreover, if the kid is studying that there is no need of religion. Then why can't the religious fraternity or family members teach the child that- what text books teaches now about religion is wrong? The best way to counter ignorance is not by protests or strikes but by knowledge. If you look at the history of religion, you can see that prophets countered the nonbelievers by teaching them wisdom. Its by the wisdom they got followers not by violence. Violence or mass rallies were not their ways to enlighten the mass . They preached wisdom to the masses, and those who understood those teachings even a little took it and became followers. Therefore if the text book is teaching ignorance then mentors have the right to overcome it by wisdom. Why can't they do it? If they can't counter it by wisdom, then they should keep quiet and earn more wisdom to counter weakness and after teach their kids or religious fraternity that the school text they read was baseless.

Finally, they should at least have the faith in the concept of their religion. Because if the religions have said truth then it can't be outdated or it can't be neglected by a false propaganda. A truth never has become false, if it is repeated a thousand times as false. Similarly a false thing has never transcended to become truth, if its repeated a thousand times. Do they believe in their holy books or pretend to believe it??? If they believe in their holy texts then why these scholars making stirs for countering a false propaganda which will evade as time rolls on...
