Souch ka Karam

mitrandepodcast Leave a comment

I have been listening to a lot of content on deep thoughts. Do thoughts lead to action? “Karam” means action.

Now, I am realizing that thoughts have a significant impact on us.

Many times, when I travel long distances, past thoughts resurface in my mind. When I repeatedly think about them and try to justify myself, I notice a pattern—these thoughts often lead me to feel depressed. I question why certain things happened to me, and this realization was my first eye-opener.

It feels true that everything starts with a simple thought, and suppressing our thoughts can lead us to suppress others as well.

While staying with a relative, I remember being criticized. At first, I thought it was meant to help me improve, but later, I realized it was an attempt to suppress me. Sometimes, I feel that people appreciate those who follow their wishes, stay within their expectations, and remain beneath them.

So, I have learned to observe my thoughts. The past is over, and I cannot change it. However, I can choose to stop dwelling on it. The future is yet to come, so I focus on the present moment.

It’s time to focus on the now.

If someone already takes credit for your work, then you must consider this

Are you failing in life? Are you putting in a lot of effort? But someone else takes the credit.

I was facing this problem in my life. And recently, I met a complete failure. Failure is not due to a lack of skill, knowledge, or ability to present. I failed for only one reason. Let me explain a little detail here.

Being frustrated, I start searching. On all books, blogs, and YouTube videos, the same things I found

  • goals and planning.
  • hard work.
  • Accept failure with an open heart.
  • perseverance and persistence.

If you apply these things, one day you will succeed.

I am getting frustrated at not knowing why I failed.

The idea came to mind: what about Chanakya? What he taught his student to build a kingdom And why still, some ancient knowledge resurfaces.

When I searched for Chanankiya, I found that we did not know much about him. Being Pakistanis, we have a very bad impression of Chankiaya. I heard he was a very clever man. Not even a single publication on Chanakiya In Pakistan.

Even When I searched on the Internet, I found that only “Radhakrishnan Pillai” wrote some books in the light of the wisdom of Chanakya.

I feel the knowledge and wisdom of Chanakiya have been lost. We are unable to place him like Plato and Socrates.

Thanks to Amazon, I purchased one book, “Think Like Chanakya,” as a kindle.

I used to purchase books on my kindle, and the Amazon kindle app on Windows is a replacement for reading these books.

“Think Like Chankaya” writer Radhakrishnan Pillai sahib mentioned that according to Chanakya, four things are required as subject matter experts.

  1. Right thinking. You are capable of making the right decisions.
  2. Knowledge of the Vedas. The Vedas are knowledge of that time. At the moment, I consider it mastering the subject. Bookish knowledge of your field
  3. Knowledge of the economy. What will sell, and what will not? Demand and supply
  4. Knowledge and science of Politics.

I discovered the first three points. I am a knowledgeable person. I have already implemented it in my personal and professional lives. The only thing missing is Politics.

I was left behind due to Politics.

Plato: One of the penalties of refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.’

Without politics, you cannot get ahead.

So every task has two parts.

  • Do the task.
  • Show the completed task.

You cannot be successful until you are able to show your work. Showing your work requires a lot of concentration. We can compete with others only through office politics.

And this is reality.

Previously, I thought politics were bad. But now that I think either is bad or good, I have to learn the art and science of politics. This is the way to go.

When someone told you I have a doctor’s appointment.

Most of the time, we did not think before speaking. We speak because we want to share.

A couple of days ago, I learned this lesson. I got a call from my friend from the USA. We worked together in a software company, and he became my buddy. Couple of days back. He was facing a problem with sciatica, and the doctor wanted to remove the disk from his backbone. I was sitting in the room alone, seeking someone to talk to.

I got a call from him; he just told me that I have a doctor’s appointment. Instead of speaking further, I just started sharing my experience with illness. That happens; this happens; nobody cares; doctors are making money. If I just wait a few days, I can save money on all those things. When I discuss all my experiences, I feel light, but I find he becomes more depressed. He was in pain; he wanted to share. Instead of listening to him, I made him more worried. He wants to share that he has had a small operation to remove a disk from his backbone. He started weeping about what would happen tomorrow. I shared my friend’s problem with him instead of listening to him.

It was a very embarrassing situation for me. I feel that I need to change. I would not share my experience and knowledge about the problem. I just have to listen. What I learned is that whenever someone tells you that I have a doctor’s appointment, You have to just reply, “You will be well soon”. And try to listen to him and give him hope that things will be better. Never ever share your or others people stories with him.

Deadline is reaching I have 6 weeks and Good Omens are here

mitrandepodcast Leave a comment

Ah, I have 6 weeks, but 3 days have already passed. I start searching for jobs and apply to different places. Try to connect different people.

Today, on a hot summer day in Riyadh, I was walking in line under trees with little shadow. I was feeling a little depressed, thinking about what would happen after September 5. My company will find another job for me because my contract will end. If I get a job without their help, will they cooperate with me or not?

What will happen? Possible stress was on my face. The temperature was more than 50 degrees Celsius. While walking on the footpath, Mercedes stopped. I was surprised. An Arab in Modern dress in his mid-30s gave me a chilled water bottle. The moment I saw and touched the bottle, a smile and happiness came to my face. He enjoyed my expressions, and I thanked him, and his car moved away. I was thinking that this is God’s omen for me, that if I trust in God, things will be better. Or It is just a normal incident.

How this idea came into my mind In Dubai, I have one Hindu friend who has a lot of knowledge. Another question is about his knowledge of right and wrong. He told me, God is in everyone, and when you were in trouble And called him, he replied to you indirectly. I don’t believe in this ideology.

I just know that good people are everywhere, which is why he gave me a chilled water bottle. Because Allah added it to his heart to distribute water. The idea came to him from Allah. So everything is from Allah.

Give them what they want, not what is require

It is said, that in ancient China, one rich man wanted to get a mouse statue  for decoration. He held a competition, where he send request to all statute makers to participate in competition. When statue makers visited him. He told them his requirements, and held a prize who statue is so beautiful that his cat also confuse and snatch it.

On the competition day, all statute workers visited him, with his work. One young person comes with statue that is not so beautiful. When all statute placed in hall, all statue made fun of him.

But when rich man, visited the hall, he also not like his master piece.  But young man, asked him that in invitation there is requirement, that his cat will confuse with mouse is original or not.

So as per rules, cat have to decided that competition. Rich man laughed at him, and told them it is symbolic. Not actual. For just joke, he brought his cat in hall. When cat saw these mouse, instead to second look on all other mouses, she took the mouse of young person and run away.

Young person laughed and demand his prize. Because his fish was so beautiful that rich man’s cat confused and take it like a real mouse. Actually he made that mouse with fish meat.

Rich man surprised and gave him the prize.

Our life is such a way. Usually as consultant. We know what is best for client. But we have to give them what they want. Yesterday, I made a document, and they did not understand what is major meaning. They just search the exact word, they gave. So objective meanings were lost. Later I start to understand them, how they work. And produce the work as wishes for them.

Every thing in start is inconvenient

I left my laptop mouse at home. I forget to pick form laptop table. It’s very difficult to use mouse pad on laptop. I did not habit to use it. From long before laptop, I am using computer since 1999. I used to mouse. Today I facing difficulty to operate.

There are two ways to approach this problem. Which is actually not problem at all.

Near market out of office,  I have to purchase a new mouse, possible cheaper one.

And second one is accept this as it is and try is work on laptop without mouse.

So I decided to work on second approach. Because when I reach home, what I do with second mouse. It will become waste.

Initially its very difficult. I force myself to work with touch pad. I usually disabled it because my pam touch the mouse pad. With the effort of two hours I started to comfortable with touch pad.

I feel change is really inconvenient in starting, when we start comfortable with it, it become our habit.

It said that if you do anything forcefully for 21 day, it become your second habit.

Who am i.

Most important and toughest journey is journey within. Who are you, What are you strength. What are your weakness.

What are your trigger points. From other they can control you. But there are more things. How I learn. How read.

Some people are reader. Some are listener. For getting good leader or manager you can also understand. Are you reader or Are you listener.

What are your values. Values lies what things you want in you. You qualities you want inside you. For this you have to do mirror check.

I listen one quwali. “Jaare lokakn nayee apny app nu jaan liaya, oh log juda hoo jandayee naayee”

Those who understand who are they, They are become different.

I read some where, what you do when you are alone, that is only your reality.

You have to accept your past mistakes, That helps you to peace. You have to embrace your flaws. That make you more beautiful. You have to accept yourself.

That is ultimate self love.

Be happy with being you. Love your flaws. Own your quirks. And know that you are just as perfect as anyone else, exactly as you are.

I was reading somewhere. In ancient time the words inscription at the temple of Oracle of Delphi “ Know yourself”.

I was sitting of my hindu friend, he talk about me all answer lie with in yourself. books, readings, knowledge generated layers on you. I was surpised that is same message what Baba bulleh shah told you. Then I feel. Possible what ever situation you have. What ever problem you face. You have to look inside you. What should you do.

I was listening Satu Guru, he told the same idea, Some one asked him Do he have knowledge of everything. He replied. he did not know everything. He just know himself. What ever question comes to him most of the time about life problems and situation. He put himself in that question and got all answers. What he should do and reply.

But here is another question. Would that answer 100 percent applicable to you. I am sure not. Because you are different form the rest of others. You have to know yourself. And remove all layers of knowledge and just seek answer with in yourself.

“Phar phar aalim fasal houon kaadif apnay aap nu parayha hee nahee”

What is easy and what tough

mitrandepodcast Leave a comment

Easy is what we want to do. And tough is which we did not want to do.

Some times things really tough. Usually we have to learn new things. And learning curve require time. We have to spent time.

As our experience grow. Management want to do things much faster. They expect the same thing as we do day to day task.

And we require less time but huge time to learn and develop new things. For this its important to set the expectation.

I think its more important, if you work is delayed, it comes to your expertise. When you scenario resource, expectation usually increased.

It take more easy for young resource to take more time then experienced resource. So What ever things feel easy or tough. You need to communicate properly.

Told, I am new in this thing. It will take extra time.

The idea of Intension and its implementation results massive success

mitrandepodcast Leave a comment

I was listening one video form Operah Winfrey. She talk about one idea or implementation of one idea “Intension” helps her to reach the glory.

Power of intension is law of cause and effect. What ever we do or creates comes back to you in some way. That is ancient law of Karma.

Good deed result good deed. Bad Deed results in bad deed. “Bhalaye kaa bahalay, Buray kaa buraah”.

She talk about she did a lot of things in the name of happy others. She agree on things which she did not want or like where she had to say no.

But she wanted to happy every one. After reading one book by Gary Zukav “ Seat for soul”. She realize the idea of Intention. Why you do anything. It is one step that what you want.

When you know what you want. And then you have to learn the idea why you need it. What are real reason behind. What you want to achieve. Or what goes around comes around.

It means. What ever you do. Stop doing it. And if you want to do it. You have clear understanding what result you expect as result. What thing you create as cause, will result in effect.

So begin with end in mind.

She said, when she started to implement in her life. Specially in her show. that show reaches at number one show at next 25 years. So what ever segment they want to introduce in show. They clarify its intension. Why they doing it. What result they want to create.
