Breaking through at right time...

Today I feel like writing about a significant sutr or Law that prevails in our lives:

There were certain questions that kept bothering me many times and I had to give my verdict , a question like "Did this particular thing or person helped me elevate or did it become the hurdle and prevented growth?"


There are many things of such nature and certain people , about who I dont know whether to credit them for things that I achieved or to discredit them for things that I didnt achieve in my life so far , this question remained a question for years and whilst this ambiguity, i would keep hopping between my two verdicts (favouring and against)

Untill recently in a point of time when consiousness was little kind and responded : That things can be both at the same time: "A reason for elevation and a reason for bloackage"

I though of testing and verifying this answer which easily got applied to all the things and people that I was querying about.

And one fine day identification of this law got reinforced when I heard Hnble Osho explaining that how a chicken is safe in an egg shell and how mandatory is for it to break the shell to be able to prevent from death and to come out and grow in the world. Just like the same way a minute seed needs to break hard shell of soil to come out and grow like a big tree.

These examples clarify how: both- having and removing the shell is crucial to grow in life.

And one must reaaly be carefull in life and build competency and toughness to be able to break the bondages at the right time.

Like in my case there were people who I would creadit for my carreer growth and at the same time I had to breaktheir Idea of my carreer to be able to become what I wanted to be or wht I want to be.

Have seen lot many people who live with other's Ideas about their own life.
I seriously think and hope that they become capable of breaking the shell.
I thinks thats what probably means "Break free" and in a way something that shows your freedom.

Adversity: a force to make you more successfull! an example:

Today while on my way to the office , I met a person who I have seen many times in my office, had noticed his ordeal while he walks, I got a chance to have a conversation with this guy who’s apparently jolly and sends positive vibes always unlike many others who are mostly dull or worried about something or the other, despite all the fitness they got.


So coming back to the point, about this guy, I came to know he was a Project Manager who has 3-4 years work experience in US with a couple compnaies, prsently in Singapore with HCL and will probably join other here if project offshores, mahn!! very choosy isnt it!, atleast no less choosy than me when it comes to continuing in a job, I mean in no way he had a different career outlook than mine or most of us as if his disability didn’t exist for him. After the meeting I recalled a popular phrase “if life throws lemons at you, learn to make lemonade” , probably his was one of the fittest examples.

To me personally one question bothers a lot, don’t know about others, that what if I was not born with full ability mental or physical, what if tomorrow something happens and I am not the same mentally or physically, life is uncertain and you definitely cannot predict future plus these insurance companies keep reminding you of that in one or more creative ways still pretty decently though, the reality could be worse or far worse, now the fact is World will definitely be different towards you, all those friends and relatives around you may disappear or most of them will. World (this material world) will treat you differently. How are you going to handle it or even how are the people in such situation handling it?


As it is we have developed mounting Ego’s , a small jerk on our ego keeps us depressed whole day or weeks in many cases, god knows what is the situation with them or might be with us, when you loose even last single attention you are getting today….it might scare but I got my lesson meeting this guy who I referred above.


Your world is because of you, you are the centroid, and literally if know making lemonade nuthng at all will stop you, world is big, opportunities are many, only thing you would need is the trust on yourself and emotional toughness, you’ll strike back at life with more power, as I said this guy is a project manager and not more than 33 I guess, seems pretty young, this reason of young appearance could be his healthy optimistic and jolly nature too. The point is he is young contrary to many fit! People who are stagnant in their careers.


I heard a famous philosopher who was once quoting great doctor/psychotherapist: ‘Lelon’ a great poet who had usually short legs, he said :

“ how does the length of the legs matter, feet in anycase will touch ground if you’re standing on the ground! Rather short feet will make you sit on the chair! Lelon sat on the highest of the chairs…. “
Meaning of “short feet will make you sit on the chair” : any one having long legs wont be sitting on the chair since his foots will remain on ground only

The point is: it’s the opposite force that pushes you to make the invert journey and there actually are endless such example one my favorite is of Steve jobs (Apple computers: CEO) , see below vedio for further insight..
