From discomfort to comfort for some time

We wake up and feel unfresh. It's a discomfort. We take bath & feel comfortable. Then we feel the discomfort due to hunger. So we eat breakfast & tea and we feel comfortable, but only for a few hours. Then we repeat the process. We feel tired and see the comfort in our bed for a few hours, only to get tired and uncomfortable again in a few hours. Sometimes we feel clogged by too many thoughts, desire or anxiety and we meditate to get out of it, again for a few hours. We work and enjoy work comfortably only to get uncomfortable for mental break, which we take to get comfortable again. Daily.

How do we learn?

We read up on the topics frequently through news and articles, work on them in our job or business, keep discussing diverse aspects of these topics with friends & colleagues over a period of couple of months or years and then are able to connect the dots automatically.

The connection of dots, which is remembering the correct wisdom when in a situation, like in business situations, or business meetings and discussions happens in it's own. It just pops up.

When to speak and when not to?

Speak when you are talking wisdom, humor, business and expressing your mind & concerns. Do not speak when you want others to listen but they don't want to listen, complain about others or blame others, especially to a third party who can do nothing about it or if you want to speak to satisfy your ego.

Who is the doer?

When you are unable to complete a challenging work in time despite efforts, are you praying to God for help?

And when you complete it, are you waiting to show others your accomplishments?

How many parameters did you have in your hands?

Why did Swami Vivekananda eat fish?

There has been a debate recently on whether a 'Siddha' can eat fish and is Swami Vivekananda a 'Siddha' as he ate fish?

Analysing what Swami Vivekananda did cannot actually take us to the truth. Reaching a conclusion will take us away.

At the same time, every event needs to be seen from a context. For example, if a school kid gets depressed on getting poor grades, then we tell him that marks are not everything. But we cannot tell this to a kid who anyways doesn't want to study.

Swami Vivekananda did leave non-vegetarian food when he stayed in the US. Why did he? What did Jesus eat? Did Jesus ask fishermen to stop fishing & eat vegetarian? Let's try to find the answers. But, at the end, we can just wonder.

Another food for thought- Why has nature in the first place made carnivorous animals who need to chase and kill other animals for food? Is there a choice?

Are you experiencing a "fall"?

This "falling" or "the experience of falling" are not in the events of the material world. They are in our inner world.

Things may go unbelievably or irreversibly bad in the world outside. But our inner world, although distressed, may stay composed and continue.

Are we struggling?

There is struggle only when there is a desire and goals to achieve. Are we available to do what is needed?
