commitment

 A committed man's personality shines through in words and behavior.  Special recognition.  Commitment means- being bound to a dharma, a rule.  Society respects a person who is committed in his instincts in his career.  Adore... Follow!  Commitment brought a lot to Rama's personality.  A single word, a single arrow, a single wife made him an incarnated man!  Where there is commitment, there is integrity, there is honesty.  A committed man is fearless.  He bows to no one.  He will bear any hardships.  Whatever work to do, whatever goal to achieve, his commitment drives him forward.  Harishchandra's words are not missing.  Satyavrata was practiced as a triple purification.  He reluctantly left his empire for the sake of truth.  He sold his wife and children.  Finally, he became famous as a chakravarti who was devoted to satyasandhat after serving as a watchman.

 Gandhiji said that in his childhood he was greatly impressed by the play of Satya Harishchandra.  He wrote in his autobiography that the effect is very useful to walk faithfully on the path of truth for a lifetime and to increase self-control!

 Not only an individual but also an organization has to meet certain high standards to thrive.  Everyone should travel without crossing the line of commitment in pursuit of goals.  Suppose one or two people in the company succumb to the temptation and adulterate the product.  Then the company's standards will fall.  The name will be spoiled.  Targets are damaged.  Success is only possible if everyone is committed!  A man can live not only with good but also with evil.  But such a person does harm to the society.  Unrest... mayhem ensues.  A society is healthy because of a man who is committed to good.  Peace will prevail.  Commitment is the root cause of transformation of a person into power, a common man into a human being, a man into a great person, and a human being into a great person.

There should be commitment in our devotion.  'Body, speech and mind should be united... One should be introverted and pray 'anyadha sharanam nasti'.  All karmas should be performed selflessly.  Arpana removes bonds.  There is no separation pain when there are no bonds.  Then you will consider this entire world as a form of God.  A transcendental sense of joy comes into the body' says Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi!  It is literally true that all this is possible because of our commitment..!

Old story... new interpretation!

 When we were children, our grandmother and grandfather used to tell us the story of the seven fish. In those days

We understood it as a story. Now, from another perspective, that is, from a spiritual perspective, a new interpretation is apparent. Somehow...

That is, a king. That is, this living being, the king, had seven sons. That is, lust, anger, greed, attachment, and infatuation that took refuge in the living being... seven with six minds. The sons went hunting. They brought seven fish. That is, by clinging to us, they brought seven fish called the seven vices, the seven vices. (The seven vices are drunkenness, gambling, adultery, theft, lying, and pride)

In that, pride did not dry up. The reason for that was the mind. Even if the six vices could be reduced somehow, the seventh fish called the mind did not dry up. "Chepa! Chepa! Why is there no sun? That means the grass has been trampled

" she said. That means the mind has become a dirty place. The grass is a symbol of ignorance.

Dubbu! Dubbu! Why have you trampled? That means... the cow has not been grazed, she said. The cow is a symbol of purity. All the gods take refuge in the cow. Goddess Lakshmi resides in the cow's feces and urine. Cow. If you ask, "Why didn't you graze the cow?" she says, "The farmer didn't graze it." That means the ignorance in the living entity has not been eradicated. There is no culture. Farmer, farmer... why didn't you graze it? That means, "Grandmother didn't put a cow on it." That means, "Grandmother, Grandmother... why didn't you put a cow on it?" If you ask, "An ant stung you for being a sinner." That means, the suffering of samsara has increased. Ant, ant... why did you stung? That means, "If you put your finger in my golden ant, it will sting you." If you keep on beating yourself up in suffering like a golden ant, you will lose wisdom... and selfishness will increase. Then, if you gain good knowledge and can remain like a drop of water on a palm tree without losing your wisdom, the path to salvation will be smooth.

In another story, the black goat, the Brahmin, and the three thieves, the Brahmin taking the black goat to perform the yajna means that he is ignorant, and black is a symbol of ignorance. The three thieves are the three qualities that are within us. When the first thief questions, that is, he examines our inner self and continues, saying that it is not a dog, but a goat. When the three people ask in this way, the soul is inspired and what it needs is the divine quality. That is, spiritual contemplation, he leaves the goat, that is, ignorance, and walks towards knowledge. In this way, every old story has a hidden meaning.

Anita.. an inspiration to women Harassment is the step to a higher status

 It's okay if the life of young girls who get married at a young age goes smoothly. But if they face problems from their husbands and in-laws, it's difficult. In such cases, those who are not properly educated don't know what to do. In the end, there are those who resort to suicide. However, Anita Prabha from Madhya Pradesh did not lose heart. She stood up to her harassing in-laws. She divorced her husband, not wanting to live with him. She completed her studies, which she had stopped due to marriage. Thus, after completing her graduation, she stood on her own two feet, and rose step by step, first becoming an SI and then taking charge as a DSP. If we go into details about her..

Anita Prabha.. is a resident of Kotma village in Anuppur district of Madhya Pradesh, and she comes from a middle-class family background. Her parents educated Anita till Intermediate and married her off at the age of 17. Her husband is ten years older than her. Anita's in-laws were not the kind of people who wanted to be alone. They would fight for extra dowry. However, her parents got Anita married in a hurry, but she was still interested in her studies.

Her desire to study was strong. With this, she took her husband's permission and started studying for a degree. However, her in-laws did not like her studying. They stopped Anita's studies midway because of her son. After that, the harassment in her in-laws

increased. She continued to bear it. However, when her husband also harassed them, she could not bear it and divorced him. Later, she aspired to stand on her own feet and reach higher positions. She continued her failed degree studies. For this, she started her own small beauty parlor. While working in it, she continued studying for her degree on the other hand.

Thus, Anita completed her degree and passed the forest guard exam. After taking charge, she again appeared for the SI exam. However, she failed in the physical fitness test. However, she did not give up. She appeared for the exam again for the second time and passed it. After that, she took charge as an SI. Later, she appeared for the Madhya Pradesh State Public Service Commission exam and secured 17th rank in her first attempt. In this process, she got the posting of Police DSP. Now she is solving women's problems.

Many women feel that if their life is not good after marriage, their life is over. Anita's life is inspiring for such women.

In the lives of the great

 Madhuraghattas

 This is the event of a thousand years ago!  A village in Afghani Stan... a cowherd boy was driving cows to the village at the time of wheat harvest... Suddenly he heard the words of a cow in the herd.  "What are you doing grazing cattle in the green fields? God did not create you for this," said the cow.

 Suddenly the boy ran home in fear, not knowing what to do, he climbed up the house.  A group of pilgrims returning from Arafat mountain ranges after completing Hajj was seen far away.  As if something had happened, the boy ran to his mother.  "I don't raise cattle. I will go to Baghdad and study," he said.  Considering this as a divine command, the mother prepared to send the boy to Baghdad.  Forty gold coins were securely sewn inside his coat.

 Saying good bye to Kannakoduku, she said, "Babu! At this moment, I feel my love for you for the sake of God. It is impossible for us to look at each other again until the final judgment is given. But never forget one word that this mother said. You must always be true to yourself; you must speak the truth; your life is in crisis.  Even if we fall, we should walk on the path of truth," he said  Mother said.

 So with the mother's blessings, the boy went to Baghdad with a group of pilgrims.  As the group marched through the gorges, some looted

 A son who disobeyed his mother

 The robbers surrounded them on horses and started looting.  At first the thieves did not pay attention to the boy.  Finally a thief said 'Hey!  Do you have money?  He threatened the boy by saying, 'Give me that too'.  The boy said very earnestly 'My mother has forty gold coins sewn inside my coat;  Take it' he said.  The robbers thought that the boy was playing a joke with them and left.

.

Then another robber came along and questioned the boy in the same way. The boy gave him the same answer. The thief also went away ignoring the boy's words. Finally all the thieves together took the boy to their gang leader. "This boy is like a beggar

appears But, he is saying that he has forty gold coins" and pushed forward.

The gangster once again asked the same question; But there was no change in the boy's answer. Then the leader cut the boy's coat and saw it. As the boy said, there were forty gold coins. With that, suddenly the leader of the robbers and other robbers were stunned. Keeping all the coins close, the leader of the robbers asked why he told the secret. Then the boy very serenely said, "I promised my mother that I would tell the truth even if my life was lost. I don't want to break my promise to my mother just for these forty gold coins. That's why I told the truth."

Hearing those words, the robbers started crying. “You are so good! How great is your mother! You obeyed your mother; But we are breaking the words of our parents; We are behaving badly. We regret the misdeeds we have done so far. From now on you are our leader" and fell on the boy's feet and turned into

The boy, who was inspired by the truth that melts hard hearts, later trained many disciples as a saint. He is the great saint named Sheikh Abdul Qader Al Jilani. The whole world will forever remember that mother who made him a Mahatma and that mother's word.

Light Flower in the Dark'

“I am a key to the game of fate. The big buildings... the slum next door... ours is Ghatkopar in Mumbai. I only knew when the people of the slum told me that I was born there. My father Ramachandra Gupta died when I was still in the womb. When I was three years old, my mother Nanda left this world. They both left me without calling me 'Amma... Nanna...'. I lost both my eyes at birth. I was in a miserable state of not being able to see what this world was like. My grandparents admitted me to the missionary schools there. They would come and visit me every now and then. Gradually, they too stopped coming. Finally, I was left an orphan. The fathers in the school church, fellow students... they were everything to me! After my intermediate, I completed my BSW degree from Nirmala Niketan and MSW from Tata Institute of Social Sciences. I did these courses with a social service perspective. My intention was to see that no other orphan suffered like me.

All suffering...

As expected, as soon as I became a PG, I started playing a more active role in service programs. Once, I left for a camp in Nagpur by train. At the railway station in Nagpur, I lost my grip and fell from the platform onto the tracks. My legs were badly injured. I had to undergo surgery for this. This led to health problems for me after that. I would have fits every now and then. I had to take medicine every day. Otherwise, it was difficult to move. However, none of these seemed like big problems in front of my determination.

Derision is nothing new...

A woman... who has no direction. Who has no eyes. However, this society did not take me to heart. It did not even show me mercy. Moreover, they even ridiculed me for being blind. If I were to study...

'What will happen to you? They insulted me. Whether my stomach is full or not... the tears of sorrow would not stop. But who should I tell? How can I bear this pain? There is no day when I do not cry. There is no difficulty that I do not face. For whom should I live? There are times when I would rather die than this. At that time, I would tell myself something courageous. 'I must live. One day I will firmly decide that at least ten other orphans like me must live.' With the help of some good friends, we can solve this

I am able to stand up in the face of challenges.

Research for them...

While participating in service programs on one hand, I am trying to understand the conditions of orphans on the other hand. Because we can solve any problem only if we know the roots. For this, I am currently conducting research on the topic of 'Vulnerability of Orphans in the Contest of Citizenship' at IIT-Mumbai. This research will be useful in fighting for the rights of orphans.

As part of my research, I am meeting orphans in different areas. The main problem that came to my attention on this occasion... is that they do not have any identity documents! This is really sad. I got an Aadhaar card in 2016. But I do not have a permanent address because I have been staying in various missionaries and hostels. Now I am 34 years old. Yet I did not get the right to vote. It is not just me... This is the situation of all orphans.

Everyone should have 'identity'...

My slogan right now is the same... The government should give identity to every orphan who has completed 18 years of age. A card should be given. All those living in shelter homes and ashrams should be identified. The constitution mentions all sections of people but... there is no mention of orphans. We live without knowing who our fathers are... our mothers... where we were born... we have no identity. We have no basis to claim to be citizens of this country except the feeling of being Indians. Due to this, we are in a miserable situation that many governments have not seen for a long time.

That responsibility belongs to the government...

The government should be a big help to people like us who have no direction. It is its responsibility to take in orphans. Many of the unfortunate people who are living on the roads. They are turning to crime. They are getting addicted to drugs. In the feeling that they have no one... they are acting in a bad way, whether it is due to bad governance or not. The government should take the responsibility of guiding them on the right path and making them beneficiaries. The details of orphans should be collected and identity cards should be given to all of them. Reservations should be provided in education and jobs. My struggle will not stop until all this is achieved."

The cart of dreams The fuel of hardships

Inspiration

Annis Abraham.. Auto driver. Film actress. Washes cars at a car servicing center. Also does housework. This eight-facedness is not new to her. It has been a habit since she could imagine. Even though difficulties have been following her footsteps, she has kept the thought of 'suicide' at bay for a lifetime. She wanted to live until death. She is still like that. Not depressed.. Finding joy in everything she does.. Now making her dreams come true!

Annis's hometown is Ernakulam in Kerala. Due to poverty, she started doing chores and studying from the age of twelve. At that age, she would take a bicycle and do papers in the morning. After coming back from school in the evening, she would go to work in houses. That's when the famous director in Malayalam, Thampi Kannanthanam, came to know about this girl. He wanted to give her a role in his film. He gave her a small role in the film 'Janamantharam'. At that time, she was eighteen years old. Later, after getting married, she fell into a life of samsara. New problems befell her in the house of Attarin. Before she could understand her husband's behavior, she had two children. Since her husband did not do any work, she had to carry the burden of samsara there.. She had to do three or four things a day.

She had to do hard work to fuel the dream car.

She found a job washing cars at that time. That's when she put her interest in driving into practice..

She learned to drive. Car.. Auto.. Shooting

When the little girl was three years old.. her husband left them. Her younger brother also came to her house, helpless. Along with the two children, Annisku had to raise her younger brother as a son. At that time, she bought an auto. After gaining some financial stability, she looked for film opportunities. She found one. According to the film schedule, she is planning the remaining work.

Annis Abraham

Annis goes to the car wash in the morning. Then she does housework.. gets the children ready for school, packs lunch boxes.. and drops them off at school in her auto. From then on, she drives the auto until the shooting time.. goes to shooting. She built a house with a bank loan by working hard. She is also making her dream of acting come true.

How did she get interested in acting?

Since childhood! She used to sing songs in school for national festivals. She used to dance. She used to act in dramas for talent shows. When she was in the third grade, she won the prize for best actress in a drama competition.

She decided to become an actress at the age of twelve. At the age of eighteen, she could not move forward due to marriage. But she did not kill her dream. Now she is continuing like this.. New movie.. ''Pa''

Annis has acted in ten movies so far. Knowing Annis' story, director Nadirshah gave her the role of an auto driver in his film 'Kesu Ee Veedinte Nathan'. She also acted in the film 'Mad Dad' directed by Revathi Varma. In it, Annis played the role of a maid named 'Eliyassamma'. That role gave her an identity. It also brought her fame. Apart from this, she has also acted in films like Thuramukham, Ka, Thottappan, Kappela, Kalappu, Vellam, Thamarakunnile Bhadrapuranam, Street Lights, Chalakudikaran Changathi etc. Another film 'Nifa' is ready for release. In this too, Annis played the role of an auto driver. She is acting in a film directed by Marjina Prakat.

"I have been driving an auto for nine years. My day starts at four in the morning and ends at around ten in the evening. I have been doing this since I can remember. I keep working until I get tired. I have never felt disappointed. I have never cried because of the hardship. There is only one life. The lesson I have learned is to live until I die. That is why I have never thought of suicide. I will never think of it again," says Annis Abraham. Her life is a lesson for those who think of suicide over small problems.

One should take refuge in good people

Faith

Water standing on hot metal becomes a formless substance, My water is like a pearl, My water is like a pearl in purity, My water is like a pearl in purity, The right kind of person is like a circle, The middle kind is like a pearl If a drop of water falls into a pearl shell, the pearl shell turns into a pearl due to the quality of association. Similarly, one who takes refuge in the best attains true happiness. Therefore, one should take refuge in the best and attain true happiness. The Bhartruhari Nitishataka says that one should not take refuge in the inferior and the middle. "

'Neechashrayana kartavyah kartavyo mahadashrayah' is a well-known saying, "One should not take refuge in the lowly. One should take refuge in the best."

Rama is endowed with all qualities. He is a true speaker, has fear and devotion towards elders. He has the quality of practicing Dharma with threefold purity. He has the ability to know the qualities of a person. That is why.. Jatayu, Hanuman. Sugriva, Vibhishana all took refuge in the best Sri Rama. It is the abode of Rama that

made them endowed with qualities. They are all like drops of water planted in the heart of Rama like a pearl shell. That is why they have remained in history like pearls.

In the Mahabharata, the Pandavas.. were following the orders and commands of their elder brother, Dharmaraja. Because of that elder brother, they also became good men. They listened. Dharmaraja's permission was required for any work. During the period of incognito, Dharmaraja kept warning his four brothers to be careful at every step in Virata's palace. Draupadi was chased by Keechaka. Thus they entered Virata's palace. Draupadi was saying, "Is there no one to protect me in this assembly?" and Bhima, enraged by the words of Draupadi, was about to uproot a nearby tree. At that time, Dharmaraja warned, "Bhima! It is not good to use a green tree as a cooking stick." If Dharmaraja had not said that, Bhima's true form would have been revealed. The incognito period would have been broken. The Pandavas would have had to live in the forests for another thirteen years. Similarly, Lord Krishna kept giving good advice and protecting the Pandavas at every step. These stories show that such friendship is good..

If we look at the characters of Mandhara and Kaikeyi in the Ramayana..

Mandhara used all her intelligence. She talked sweetly. Kaikeyi thought that everything in Mandhara's words was true. 'Kaika! If Rama is crowned, Kausalya will become the queen mother. Then she will treat you as a slave. You will have to spend your life serving your son Bharata.

Therefore, ask Dasharatha for a boon. He promised you two boons in the past. Ask for them now,' she said sweetly, as if she was saying that Kaikeyi would get well. Kaikeyi changed her mind.

She could not understand that Mandhara's words were going to cause trouble. She ruthlessly asked Dasharatha for a boon. Okay, Dasharatha did not have to do it. Because of those boons, Rama went to the forests. Dasharatha closed his eyes. Bharata, filled with devotion for his brother, wore saffron and worshipped Rama's sandals in the kingdom of Nandigram. He ruled in the name of his brother.

Kaikeyi, who knew everything, became a monster due to Mandhara's words. She lost her discretion. She remained with the name 'Kaikei, a wicked woman, a bad one'.

Karna is Duryodhana..

To examine the powers and abilities of the Kauravas and Pandavas who had completed their education under Dronacharya, Kumar arranged an astronomical demonstration. At that time, Karna said that he would also demonstrate his knowledge. He declared that he was not a king and was unworthy. Immediately, without thinking ahead, Duryodhana declared Karna as the king of Angara and had him crowned. Karna, pleased with Duryodhana's deed, declared that he would dedicate his life to Duryodhana. He felt that Duryodhana had truly helped him. He had been committing atrocities for that Duryodhana at every step. Karna. Despite being a great warrior, Karna was facing defeat at every step due to the evil thoughts within him. It was because of joining Duryodhana's shadow that such a disaster happened.

Weight of the Kavadi

 

Story

There was a farmer in a village. For him, God was a form of devotion. One day, the farmer's son asked his father, "You always say temples and pagodas. What is devotion?" The farmer replied, "I will tell you the answer when the occasion arises." A few days passed. On the day of Aadi Krittika, the day to perform Kavadi puja to Lord Subramanya on the hill arrived. The farmer asked his son to lower the Kavadi from the attic. The farmer asked his son, who was lowering the Kavadi from the attic using a ladder, "Is the Kavadi heavy?" The boy replied, "It is a little heavy." After performing the puja at home, the father and son put flowers, fruits, and other puja paraphernalia in the Kavadi and started climbing the hill, chanting "Harom Hara!" The farmer asked his son, who was climbing the steps of the hill with great enthusiasm, "We have put a lot of things to offer to the Lord in the Kavadi. The temple is also on the hill. There are a lot of steps to climb. Don't you find it difficult?" He replied with a radiant face, "It is very light, I don't feel the weight at all." The farmer smiled and explained, "When you were carrying the empty kavadi from the attic, it felt heavy. Now, even though it is heavy, the same kavadi does not feel heavy to you even when you are climbing the steps of the hill. This is called devotion. Due to the feeling of devotion, our attention to the work we do increases. Discipline is instilled. We gain the ability to willingly accept any responsibility. Even if it seems difficult, the work becomes easy because we do it willingly. We can reach the desired destination with confidence." The farmer's son realized, "True, the feeling of devotion can do many miracles for us." Amidst the ringing of the kavadi bells, they had darshan of the Lord, paid their respects, and returned home.
