VEG Vs NON VEG

VEG Vs NON VEG
Some things in life are so obvious, but we humans get confused due to various
unscientific and illogical opinions.
Let us consider the differentiation between Vegetarian and Non-Vegetarian. It is like differentiating
between day and night where there cant be any gray area or need for a second opinion.
This book will not take more than around 30 minutes out of your entire life! I promise you that this little
time invested in this book will reward you with a new way of thinking and will add value to your life and
also to others.
We will analyse and understand the difference between being a Vegetarian and a Non-Vegetarian and at the
end I will leave it upon you to decide which one do you think is a better way of living?
In my opinion only Vegetarian is the best way of living. If you are already a Vegetarian then this book will
help you to cross verify the same and also to be firm and constant on your approach. You will get scientific
and logical reasoning to support your thoughts, which you can share with others through this book.
If you are a Non-Vegetarian then I am sure that this book will make you think that Vegetarian life is a
better life. If you read this book with an open mind and then apply your own judgment after going through
all its contents; then you will definitely like to become Vegetarian. You can share your learning with
others through this book.
The living creatures falling under the Veg. and the Non-Veg. category include both Food and Non-Food
items. Hence, throughout this book we will use a common term goods for them. It represents all
consumables falling under both food and non-food categories as applicable to respective forms of lives i.e.
living creatures used for veg. and Non-Veg. items.
Let us first define the terms Veg. and Non-Veg.':
Veg.:
For food it mainly includes all vegetables and fruits etc. For non-food category lets take clothes as an
example. The clothes, say which are made out of cotton, come under this category. There can be other
consumables like perfumes, oil and other accessories etc. made out of Veg. goods.
Those who consume only Veg. goods are called Vegetarians.
Non-Veg.:
For food it simply means any food other than Veg. food. It mainly includes food made from the flesh of
animals, birds etc. In non-food category say clothes; it includes clothes where animals skin or birds wings
etc. are used. There can also be other consumables like perfumes, oil and other accessories like leather
shoes, belts, bags and show-pieces etc. containing Non-Veg. goods.
Those who consume only / also Non-Veg. goods are called Non-Vegetarians.
This was the simplest way of describing Veg. goods and Non-Veg. goods.
Now let us understand the same scientifically:
Any living creature can have maximum five senses or less than that. The five senses have an order in which
they are bestowed upon a living creature by nature Viz. touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing. All creatures
do not possess all the five senses.
In addition to that there may be powers to think, speak, walk, hold things, fly etc. depending on the body
structure of various forms of lives.
Both Veg. and Non-Veg. products are made from living creatures. Then what is it that differentiates them
from each other? It is the number of senses and other powers gifted to them by nature within the given form
of life. The common life for each of them is their individual SOULS but the un-common physical form is
due to the BODY STRUCTURE they have in their current forms of material lives.
Life of Veg. Goods:
The life of Veg. goods is very limited i.e. they have very limited senses and powers to enjoy while they are
alive. They only posses one sense out of five, the sense of touch i.e. their body which feels the sense of
touch and their soul survives within their body.
For example a plant does not have a tongue to taste, nose to smell, eyes to see or ears to hear. The plants
can not speak, walk or fly as well.
Thus the body structure of life of Veg. goods does not have following:
They cant Taste, Smell, See and Hear.
They do not have powers to Think, Speak etc.

They do not have separate body parts like Hands, Legs and Wings etc.
Life of Non-Veg. Goods:
The life of Non-Veg. goods is much more powerful than the Veg. goods and they have higher senses as
well.
Life of Non-Veg. goods can enjoy following while they are alive (as applicable as per their form of life):
They can posses any additional or all senses out of the five senses apart from the sense of Touch as per
the order of Taste, Smell, Sight and Hearing.
They have powers to Think, Speak etc.
They have various body parts like Hands, Legs and Wings etc.
As we all know we have got various terms to define people when they are born with different types of
physical disabilities e.g. the one who cant speak is described as Dumb; the one who cant hear is described
as Deaf etc.
Are these terms applicable to the lives of Veg. goods? Obviously Not, because the way in which they are
designed by nature they anyways do not posses all these senses and powers in the first place.
Now can these terms be applied to life of Non-Veg. goods? Obviously Yes, because
as designed by nature they are supposed to have all these senses and powers. So even the life of Non-Veg.
goods can be Dumb, Deaf etc. just like we humans if they are born handicapped or may be disabled due to
an accident.
Veg. Vs. Non-Veg. Does it make any DIFFERENCE?
We have already discussed the difference between lives of Veg. goods and Non-Veg. goods.
Now lets discuss the difference between deaths of Veg. goods and Non-Veg. goods. Anything which has
life has to die one day. Anything that dies, takes re-birth in some other form of life and so on.
What does this mean?
This simply means that the actual life i.e. the invisible eternal soul takes shelter within a particular form of
life for the life time of that body and then the soul leaves the body i.e. Death for that body and then lives in
some other form of material life i.e. Birth for a new body, which has no beginning as per the Theory of
Karma (Action-Reaction).
This is the law of life managed by nature and we humans do not have any power to change it unless we opt
for the best route, which is possible during the life as a human being that can finally end with a state of soul
having no Karmas i.e. deeds / material actions balance to be paid for by way of either future material
pleasures or material pains based on Law of Karma i.e. Principle of Action-Reaction. It is termed as
Salvation / Moksha / Nirvana i.e. permanent liberation of soul from birth-death cycle.
In simple terms when the soul achieves salvation, it gets freedom from the slavery of material forms of
lives to survive and so there is no further birth-death cycle attached to it. It is various material forms of
lives that start with birth and end with death, on various material planets Viz. Earth, Heaven and Hell.
The soul is the driving force which keeps moving from one form of material life to another, at various
material planets, till it achieves freedom i.e. independent eternal life of completely enlightened soul at
Spiritual Space. Meditation helps in selfrealization and takes us to the stage of Omniscience. Once we
succeed in getting rid of our karmas balance then there is no further reaction and so no further birth-death.
Thus it relieves the soul from slavery of birth-death cycle forever and hence from all related material needs,
desires, pleasures, formalities, worries, problems, pains etc. associated with it.
Lets not get into deep discussion of the term salvation right now.
So, coming back to the topic of our discussion on death of Veg. goods and Non-Veg.goods; lets see how
they are different from each other:
We all understand that for cooking food and for that matter while producing anything out of Veg. and NonVeg. goods, they die and thus their journey of life within that particular body comes to an end because we
use them for our consumption.
Death of any life includes death of all powers attached to that life including its senses.
Death of Veg. goods:
When life of Veg. goods end then only those limited powers / senses die which are possessed by them,
which we have already discussed in the previous chapter.
Death of Non-Veg. goods:
When the life of Non-Veg. goods end all the powers and senses attached to their life
also comes to an end which are not limited like the Veg. goods.
Here is a table to describe the same in a more simplified way:

Senses and Powers as
available
End of life of Veg. goods
(apply to all Veg. goods)
End of life of Non-Veg.
goods (as applicable to their
individual forms)
To Taste N.A. Dies
To Smell N.A. Dies
To See N.A. Dies
To Hear N.A. Dies
To Think N.A. Dies
To Speak N.A. Dies
To Walk, Fly N.A. Dies
The Body, i.e. the touch
sense (Apart from 4 senses as above including power to think, speak and ability to walk, fly etc. due to
respective body parts) Dies Dies
Lets discuss some of the very important areas.
Holidays for Vegetarians and Non-Vegetarians:
Some may claim to be a Vegetarian but subject to a few holidays when they can have
Non-Veg. food.
Similarly some are Non-Vegetarians and they see nothing wrong in that, however they believe that on few
particular days of the week or say few particular days in a month or year they cant eat Non-Veg. food; may
be because of some religious beliefs attached to those special days.
So if these people do not eat Non-Veg. food during few particular days due to some religious beliefs
attached to those days or it may be to respect the God in which they believe, then it indirectly means that
apart from those specific days on all other days they simply do not care about whatever religious beliefs
they follow or the God they believe in. It can be termed as Holidays for Non-Veg.. It is like making a fool
of and doing injustice to ones own self.
If its the respect to the God that one believes in or any religious belief that one follows then ideally it
should be applicable to each day of ones life. Does it make any sense in believing them to be applicable
only on a few days?
Egg: Is it Non-Veg.?
Yes, it is. Some may argue that they are Vegetarian but they eat only eggs because according to them egg is
not a Non-Veg. food item. Its again like fooling ones own self and playing with thoughts to define ones
own comfort level. Here in case of an egg, the life which is growing inside is relevant and not the current
look of egg itself as we see it.
Its true that currently we cant see anything other than an oval white box sort of life structure containing
yellow colored liquid inside but finally it gives birth to a chicken growing inside. The liquid will eventually
turn into a chicken but the only thing is those powers take time to get formed into the body structure.
Thus killing an egg is like killing a prospective chicken and for that matter all its senses and powers as
well.
Some agree that egg is Non-Veg. food but they have it only when its there in cakes or chocolates etc.
because in this case they cant see it directly in its original form and thus for them its just a piece of cake
or a chocolate. Its like saying that I can see different colors only when my eyes are open and so I close
my eyes because then all colors look just like the color black to me.
I do not think this requires any further discussion because this is again a foolish explanation and nothing
else. They are cheating their very own soul.
Fish: Is it Non-Veg.?
Obviously, it is. I was surprised to know that few people even considered fish as a Veg. food item. This is
completely absurd. I do not think there is any need to explain it after already having discussed about Life
and Death of Veg. and Non-Veg. goods in previous chapters, to prove that the fish should fall under the
Non-Veg. goods category like any other animal.
Also all other animals which might be living inside the water fall within the definition of Non-Veg. The
only difference is that they live inside water, but since they have got more senses and powers than Veg.
goods even they are Non-Veg. goods as defined in earlier chapters.
Milk: Is it Veg.?
Why not? Milk is a Veg. food item. However few argue that if one is Vegetarian then that person should not
drink Milk as well because it is obtained from animals. This is not a correct argument because if we apply
the test of Life and Death as explained in earlier chapters then we can understand more clearly that milk
falls under the Veg. category and it is not a Non-Veg. food item.
It is true that milk is obtained from animals but it does not require killing of animals. Milk by itself does
not have all those senses / powers as available to animals.
However it is true that in some cases the cows are harassed to obtain milk and also the calves are deprived
of his / her mothers milk. Thats an equally serious issue but it does not make milk a Non-Veg. food item.
Complete Vegetarian Vs. Vegetarian only for food habits:
We can categorize any consumable as Veg. or Non-Veg. and not just the food. That is why we used the
common term goods throughout the book as already explained in the introduction.
Thus Veg. vs. Non-Veg. applies to all consumables like clothes, perfumes, oil and other accessories like
shoes, belts, bags and show-pieces etc. used by us in our day-today life as defined earlier as well.
Thus some may believe to be strict Vegetarian but then it actually means only with respect to the food
habits and they may be Non-Vegetarian while consuming Nonfood items.
Out of many such things consumed by us in our day to day life few might be just pure luxuries. We get
influenced to consume them only because of our psychological needs and desires which actually does not
add any real value to our life.
Thus such unnecessary consumption habits can be avoided by controlling our own psychology, emotions
and desires or the least we can do is find a substitute which is made from Veg. goods.
Ecological Balance:
Some may also argue that consuming only Veg. goods may lead to ecological imbalance. It may sound to
be correct and true when we hear if for the first time but when we try to analyze it then we may realize that
it is actually not a problem at all. In fact it is the best available solution to lot of our problems. If we
humans protect nature to support and promote the lives of the Veg. goods then this can never lead to
ecological imbalance. The way we humans give importance to the development of industrial and service
sector similarly the same level of importance, rather higher level of importance should be assigned to
protecting and growing primary sector. The fact is that a lot of farm produce is used to feed the animals and
birds which are finally consumed as food.
This will in fact help us to reduce pollution, waste products, global warming and diseases which are the
growing concerns in todays world.
Let the Non-Veg. goods
live independently in their own environment, as it is defined by nature. Only we
humans have got higher power of thinking than any other form of life due to which
we can decide for ourselves if we want to lead life as a Vegetarian or Non-Vegetarian.
Whereas the rest of lives on earth will continue to manage the ecological balance by
default as may be defined by the laws of life by nature.
In fact we selfish humans are causing tremendous harm to nature and creating huge
ecological imbalance by killing not only numerous animals and birds etc. but also the
lives of Veg. goods for our excessive consumption needs and habits. By protecting
nature and turning back to the Veg. life we will cause great benefit to world at large.
It will promote huge ecological balance. The world will be ruled and managed by
laws of nature, which will bless us with peace, happiness and success forever.
Also, we consume a lot of things for no rhyme or reason. We should try to control our
illogical desires which are influenced by comparison, jealousy, competition and ego.
We should try to minimize our consumption and possession needs by controlling our
material desires for enjoying the luxuries because desires are endless! We should not
be selfish and think about ourselves only and also for this life alone.
Lets have a broad and long term vision for life. We all have to ensure that earth
continues to be the best place to live forever. It will ensure long term sustainable and
constructive growth with ever increasing peace, happiness and good health for all
forms of lives across the globe. It will also help us, the souls, into various journeys of
our material lives until we succeed in achieving Salvation / Moksha / Nirvana.
Health consideration:
Few people have a wrong impression that Non-Veg. food is very essential to ensure
good health. However, the fact is that Veg. food is always better to ensure good
mental and physical health than the Non-Veg. food.
Some also argue that they eat Non-Veg. food to obtain proteins, which is not present
in many of the Veg. food items. However there are so many Veg. food items like
milk, sprouts, pulses, broccoli, soya etc. which provide huge amount of proteins.

Lets not get into further details with scientific data on the same. I suggest that if any
one is misguided that Non-Veg. food is better for maintaining good health and that
Veg. food does not provide all the nutrition to stay healthy then they should get proper
guidance from some knowledgeable and reliable source for the same and get their
misunderstandings clarified and also rectified.
Unintentional Vs. Intentional Non-Vegetarian:
Lets begin this with an example; It may happen that while walking, unknowingly we
step on an ant and it dies, but technically it does not make anyone Non-Vegetarian
because it was a mistake / unintentional and was not intended for any purpose.
However, on these grounds some may argue that we may cause death to say ants etc.
unintentionally then anyhow we become Non-Vegetarian. This is not acceptable
because it is only the intention that matters although we cant deny the fact that we
caused death to that ant too. We cant ignore it and so we should always be very
careful in whatever we do so that we do not harm any one, in any manner, to the
maximum extent possible and at all times.
Killing Non-Veg. goods purposefully for our consumption makes us a NonVegetarian. So some may argue that those who claim to be a Vegetarian may also be
Non-Vegetarian in some manner as explained above and thus they try to fool others to
make it easy for them to justify appropriateness of them being a Non-Vegetarian.
Other important areas:
The animals / birds etc. are also used in scientific experiments, circus, zoos, as
a pet etc. though each form of life has equal right to live and also to enjoy
freedom just like we humans do.
According to the interpretations done by few, the killing of animals / birds etc.
is done to follow some of the religious beliefs, to worship the God they
believe into.
This is a very critical and sensitive area because it is linked to religion.
Please do not read it either as a direct or even indirect objection to hurt
anyones religious belief in any manner, but let us just make an honest attempt
to at least discuss the same to learn with an open mind, as a human being.
Different religions have beliefs in different names and / or forms of God. At
the same time we also believe that the God is one for all. Hence we all will
agree to a fact that let it be any name and / or form of God as one believes but
its true to say that God (Nature) promotes love and happiness for all. Going by
that understanding we will also agree to the fact that the God wants us to take
care of all forms of lives across the universe including ourselves by ensuring
non-violence, truth and peace.
Thus the best way to worship God can be by way of ensuring non-violence!
We cant say that death in any case is death and so it does not matter whether it is the
end of life of Veg. or Non-Veg. goods.
No doubt it matters a lot!
There is a huge difference between life and so also death of Veg. and Non-Veg.
goods. It is so obvious and apparent that both the birth as well as the death of life of
Non-Veg. goods is much wider than that of Veg. goods.
This can be better explained by referring to the concept of Partial Death. Partial
Death is death of one of the senses / powers of life. Say when one looses the hearing
sense then it is termed as being Deaf.
It is not necessary that a life can be Dumb or Deaf etc. only at the time of birth. It can
be caused due to some accident during the journey of life as well. Thus the life
continues but senses / powers may reduce. That is known as Partial Death. Thus a
complete death also includes death all senses and powers attached to that body.
Hence killing the Veg. goods in that sense is comparatively less sinful and painful
than killing Non-Veg. goods. We cant go by the argument that if a person kills one or
hundred, in human court that person can be punished with death only once so its
equal. Obviously killing hundred people is a much bigger sin than killing just one
person though punishment can be given only once to a person in human court for both
the sins because death cant be repeated a hundred times.
But in the Court of Nature i.e. as per laws of life by nature based on the principle of
ActionReaction i.e. Theory of Karmas; that person i.e. the inner soul, is
punishable for hundred times separately in various forms of material lives.
We humans have limited power and so we dont remember the same. But we can see
and understand the world around us consisting of so many various forms and
characteristics of lives which is the proof of Natures Laws of Life on its own!
In some cases, mainly with respect to Non-food category, the products made out of
lives of Non-Veg. goods can be made from animals / birds etc. which were already
dead due to natural reasons and hence are not termed to be killed purposefully. Then
one may consider it to be a separate category of Non-Veg. as Non Living Non-Veg.
Goods. It is less sinful than consuming things which require intentional killing of
lives of Non-Veg. goods.
However the use of this discretion is challenging because it is really difficult to ensure
its authenticity of being a Non-Living Non-Veg. product and anyway at the end its
simply made out of EX-Non-Veg. goods. However this can surely help us indirectly
to start avoiding Non-Veg. goods and try to shift to Veg. life. But at any point of time
the best way of living can be only that one which is completely Veg., which is much
more challenging. However gradually we can try to change.
GITA
This book is an attempt to bring our focus on true essence of learning from Bhagvad Gita.
It is a small contribution from my end as compared to the entire galaxy of knowledge that can be
explored by us. If we get clarity in the universal principles of Life Management then we can
easily build on it, even by referring to other literatures available on Bhagvad Gita and / or
from other books whether linked to any religion or not or by any other mode, which is related to
life management based on spiritual intelligence, as one may believe into or choose to refer.
As we all say Learning is a continuous and never ending process if we try to learn with an Open
Mind. So lets stick to what we all say!
Five Paandavas: They represent our Five Senses Viz. touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing.
(We also have other powers e.g. to think, to speak and to walk etc.)
Numerous Kauravas: They represent our never ending Material Desires. Material Desires
lead to Material Pleasures and Material Pains to be experienced by the soul through various
forms of Material Lives on various Material Planets Viz. Earth, Heaven and Hell.
Shri Krishna: He, as the charioteer represents our Mind i.e. the Director of our life. The
soul is linked to body through Mind.
The Chariot with Four Horses and Two Wheels: It represents that the charioteer of life i.e. the
mind has to control Anger, Ego, Deception and Greed. It is to ensure Non-violence,
Peace, Truth and Simplicity. The two wheels represent Sacrifice and Forgiveness.
Kurukshetra: It is the field of battle i.e. our current form of life as a Human being.
The War: It represents the war which Five Senses have to fight against Material Desires for
detaching the soul from material pleasures and pains. The control of mind over five senses
enables the soul to get enlightened for its spiritual growth. Meditation helps in self-realization
to detach the soul from trap of Karma related to material pleasures and pains, caused by
Material Actions through Thoughts, Speech and Physical Actions, either directly or indirectly.
Conversation between Shri Krishna and Arjuna: It represents the Learning Process which
we have to undergo to learn true Spiritual Principles.
The Victory: We, the eternal souls have to win over our material desires by controlling our
senses, which are directed by the mind. We have to detach our own self i.e. the soul, from
material pleasures and pains as applicable to our material form of life, which is currently as a
human being on one of the material planets called as Earth. When the soul achieves
Omniscience then it becomes completely enlightened. Such soul gets relieved from the birthdeath
cycle, into various material forms of lives, spread across various material planets. At the
end of such Human life the soul enters into the Spiritual Space i.e. it achieves Salvation. It
is also called as Moksha / Nirvana etc. in different languages. Thus the soul wins freedom
from material pleasures, pains and formalities attached to the material forms of lives forever.
Explanation of Life:
The true life is the eternal soul. Soul is an invisible living energy. The soul takes birth in a
material form of life and then takes rebirth in some other material form on death of the former
one, which has no beginning as per the Theory of Karma. The theory of karma is governed by
the Laws of Life by Nature, which is based on the principle of Action-Reaction. The
completely enlightened soul can win freedom and separate itself from the slavery of material
forms of lives forever i.e. Salvation. To become completely enlightened means to get rid of
karma that traps the soul in material pleasures and pains. Salvation is the peak of spiritual
growth. It is the ultimate peace and happiness for the soul out of its permanent liberation from
the slavery of temporary material forms of lives on material planets Viz. Earth, Heaven and Hell.
This book is an attempt to learn the best Management Principles taught by SANT KAVI
KABIR (in Hindi) i.e. SAINT POET KABIR.
The holy soul prophet Kabir was from ancient India. The great saint Kabir has shared his
knowledge and philosophies in the form of poems/verses/stanzas in Hindi language, which
mainly include the books popularly known as Kabir Vani (in Hindi) i.e. Kabirs Speech.
The super soul Kabir was not biased towards any particular Religion or God. He was an
independent thinker and philosopher who learnt the real truth of life i.e. true spiritual principles
which are universal in nature and blessed others by sharing his knowledge.
I have only penned down a few of his more intense teachings in just 3 Pages to add maximum
value at the minimum possible investment of our time.
Here the methodology which we will follow is that to quote the original Hindi verses by saint
Kabir and then try to learn the management philosophy from the same.
MITHA SABSE BOLIYE, SUKH UPJE KUCH AUR; YEHI KARAN-VASI MANTRA HEY,
TYAJIYE VACHAN KATHOR:
We should always communicate sweetly, politely, pleasantly and peacefully which is a route to
find and share true happiness. This is the sainted sentence which needs to be kept in mind to
keep away from the use of humiliating, insulting or aggressive language while communicating.
SUNIYE GUN-KI BARTA, AVA-GUN LIJIYE NAHI:
We should give importance only to good qualities of others and should not get influenced or
affected by their negative qualities. A person may be unproductive in many ways but still he/she
will have some qualities that can add value to others. Hence try to pick and also learn from the
good qualities of others for mutual benefit.
TAMAS PI SHITAL BHAYAA, PHIR KACHHU RAHI NA PYAAS:
The one, who can drink/absorb anger, never feels thirsty again. It means that revenge is never
the end solution to our problems. As per Theory of KARMA i.e. principle of ActionReaction; if we cause any problem to others then its an invitation of the same problem for
ourselves, to be experienced by us i.e. we the eternal souls in various journeys of material lives.
Thus if something makes us suffer from problems or feel angry is a reaction of our own past
wrong deeds, may be including earlier births. If rather than responding to it i.e. solving our
problems in a peaceful and constructive way, we again react and take revenge then this cyclical
chain of actionreaction will never end.
Forgiveness is the end solution otherwise we will keep inviting the same problem again and
again for ourselves in future, which will keep us far away from our Salvation/ Moksha/ Nirvana.
TYAG TO AISA KIJIYE, SABKUCH EK HI VAAR; SAB PRABHU-KA MERA NAHI, YEH
NISH-CHAYA VICHAR.
MERA MUJH-MEIN KACHHU NAHI, JO KACHHU HOYE SO TERA, TERA TUJHKO
SOPTE KYA LAGEGA MERA:
We should keep ourselves detached from the trap of extreme material pleasures by practicing
sacrifice or else we become greedy. This will free us from slavery of temporary material
pleasures and lead us ahead towards achievement of permanent spiritual pleasure i.e. Salvation.
The material achievements like money, fame, power etc. are related to our current form of life as
a human-being which is temporary in nature.
However it does not mean complete renunciation of our material responsibilities. We should
find a balance between our personal, professional, social and spiritual goals to justify our
existence as humans and move ahead towards our spiritual development.

KAHE, MERE RUDAY NIJ PIV.
AHAMTA NA AANIYE, JO HARI SINHAASHAN DEY; JO DIL AVE DINTA, TO SAI
APNA KAR LE:
Once we win over our ego, we achieve true peace and happiness out of self-realization. We are
spiritual beings having physical existence until we achieve salvation. We have to detach our own
self i.e. the soul, from material pleasures and pains as applicable to our material form of life.
By concentrating on self and truth through Super-conscious Meditation the soul achieves
Omniscience. When we win over our anger, ego, deception and greed by practicing sacrifice
and forgiveness, we clear KARMA balance, which leads us to complete enlightenment. At the
end of such Human life the soul enters into the Spiritual Space i.e. it achieves Salvation.
Thus the soul wins freedom from material pleasures, pains and formalities attached to various
material forms of lives forever on various material planets Viz. Earth, Heaven and Hell.

PAANCH INDRIYA CHATHHA MAN, SAT SANGAT SUCHANT; KAHE KABIR JAM
KYA KARE, JO PANCHO GAANTH NICHANT:
We, the eternal souls, currently as human beings possess five senses i.e. touch, taste, smell, sight
and hearing. Our senses are directed by Mind (Brain). Our true inner self, the soul is linked to
the body through mind. Hence to keep our senses under control, we should keep control over our
Mind which manages our material actions i.e. thoughts, speech and physical actions.

Meditation helps in self-realization, which helps in controlling senses utilization related to
material desires and takes us ahead on our spiritual growth path.
PUNYA BADA UPKAR HEY, SABKE UPAR BHAKH; JIV-DAYA CHITTA RAKHIYE,
VED PURAN SAKH:
To help other creatures including poor and needy human beings by way of donation etc., in a
selfless state of mind is the best deed of all. However even above that the best of the best deeds
is to ensure non-violence of each form of life across the globe, which is the universal message as
written in all religious books, as taught by religious preachers / prophets / spiritual teachers etc.
The above teaching is also explained by one more verse as follows:
BADA PAAP HEY HINSHA, TEHI SAMAN NA KOI; DHARMARAI JAB LEKHA
MANGE, TAB SAB NAUBAT HOYE:
The biggest sin of all is violence. If we cause death to other lives including animals, birds and all
other creatures, for any reason, then finally we have to pay back the same as per laws of life by
Nature. It is the Theory of KARMA i.e. Principle of Action - Reaction.
That is why we all believe that if we cause violence then it takes us to Hell i.e. a form of life
which represents the reaction stage to pay for the balance of extreme wrong deeds done by a
soul till his/her previous material lives.
CHANCHAL MAN CHET REY, SOYA KAHA AGYAN; JAB DHAR JAM LE GAYEGA,
PADA RAHEGA MYAN:
The Mind gets misguided by the influence of extreme materialization which is deceptive and
temporary in nature. It does not allow the mind to awake and understand the power of spiritual
intelligence. The true life is the eternal soul, which is an invisible living energy. The soul takes
birth in a material form of life and then takes rebirth in some other material form on death of the
former one, which has no beginning as per the Theory of Karma. The only end to this cyclical
nature of our material existence is Salvation by getting rid of our karmas i.e. material actions.

coupled with pleasant talks because each soul is God i.e. Nature. It means that we should
follow mutual help and co-operation and keep away from materialistic comparison, jealousy and
competition because at the end we all are similar souls who represent one God i.e. Nature.
JAN JIV KABU MAT MARO, BHAKTI KARO DAYA UR DHARO; SADHU DEV
BHAKSYA ANKUR AYE, MIN MAD MAAS RAKSHAS KHAY:
We should not kill any life including any bird or animal etc. for any reason. Those who are
vegetarians, represent angels and those who are non-vegetarians, represent devils.
JAGDA NITYA BURA-HEY, JAGDA BURI BALA-HEY; DUKH UPJE CHINTA DE,
JAGDEME GHAR JAYE:
Quarrels which also include wars, terrorism, riots etc. are not a solution to given problems.
Infact it increases the problem. It results in sorrows and also creates worries for all forms of
lives across the globe and we loose all that we have.
SWARG MRUTYU PATAL MEIN, PUR TIN SUKH NAAYE, SUKH SAHEB KE BHAJAN
MEIN, AUR SANTANKE MAAY:
There lies no permanent solution for us into Heaven, Earth or Hell. The ultimate peace and
happiness is only in salvation, which is the peak of our spiritual growth. To achieve the same we
should be blessed with the truth of life. The body is real Temple where the God resides in the
form of soul and Meditation is the actual prayer which can free us from material existence on
these three material planets by taking ourselves into spiritual space i.e. freedom of soul forever.
51 Secrets of LIFE
1. When we say I KNOW, it only means I know to the extent I can actually perceive but
what we do not know is that it also implies I failed to notice the rest of the things which I
could not apprehend.
Let us find out what majority of us have failed to grasp so far in our lives.
2. KNOWLEDGE is an independent and eternal fact of nature.
We are only TEMPORARY mediums to re-gain and re-share the same with each other in
various FORMS, at various points in TIME and so on.
Thus we are all just a temporary MEDIUM like the machinery that runs purely on fuel /
electricity i.e. our own deeds / actions by way of thoughts, speech and physical actions and
help of our well wishers.
3. INVENTION is acquiring of knowledge, which is nothing else but RESEARCH only!
Invention coexists with research. Nobody has ever been able to separate the two till date and
it is never possible for anyone to do so at any point of time in future too!
What is an invention for the ignorant world is itself based on the underlying FACTS which
always existed in past, exists in present and will continue to exist in future. That is inherent,
independent and eternal by nature.
4. There is no separate GOD from you and all other living creatures that exist.
It is all God only. It is NATURE. It is unborn. It will never die. It is eternal. It is the real
YOU i.e. your inner centre. It is each individual invisible eternal SOUL.
What changes is the outer material form but the inner spiritual substance remains the same!
5. All holy IDOLS and divine religious BOOKS represent and share SILENCE and
KNOWLEDGE only and in no way raise any need for loud shouting and creating noise,
which we term as PRAYERS.
6. All living creatures including human beings, across the globe, are real TEMPLES where the
invisible idol of God in the form of SOUL resides for the life span of that particular material
form of life.
What we call a temple made of bricks and cement is ignorance.
God resides in each one of us and not in the man-made temples.
7. We PRAY only when we MEDITATE internally.
All other external RITUALS and RITES etc. is IGNORANCE. The sun of knowledge has
always been there to shower its rays of truth on us. But we are still experiencing the darkness
of ignorance due to the clouds of our closed and biased minds. Truth is shining everywhere
around us but we can not see it as we are still in a deep sleep. Wake up and learn the truth.
DARK AGES indicate the darkness of our own ignorance and not the disappearance of truth.
8. Become a DEVOTEE of the TRUTH of life by nature.
This is the only true worship which can lead us ahead on the path of knowledge. It is the
path which can take us towards God i.e. attaining the state of OMNISCIENCE.
That is the real freedom which brings us to our original form as a free soul i.e. our true
natural existence which is alone like a MIRROR who has complete knowledge but in the
capacity of an indifferent WITNESS only.
9. If we believe that the word RELIGION needs to be identified with a separate NAME then
the only religion which can take us ahead on our journey towards spiritual growth is NONVIOLENCE.
All other names are merely stepping stones to reach to the final destination of unbiased and
universal SPIRITUALITY.
10. GOD i.e. NATURE is nothing else but KNOWLEDGE only. Nature goes on blessing us
with the knowledge throughout our lives.
Everything else is only its APPLICATION by all living creatures including human beings as
per their level of understanding and awareness as per laws of life by nature.
Say if any one of our dear ones is not keeping well and hence admitted to hospital, then we
pray to God for his / her recovery. Here the doctor makes an honest attempt to cure the
patient, where he / she maybe or maybe not recovered by the doctors efforts. It is a simple
attempt made by us humans based on the application of knowledge that we gain. We call it
as BLESSINGS of God which is in actuality gaining knowledge and its application only.
11. Our past deeds done by us till date in our various material forms of lives is the only reason of
our present material existence and so on.
It is just a present material REACTION of our past material ACTION and then again we
cause more material ACTIONS in each form of our lives which have their own effects on
our future lives and so on. That is how we define our own FATE.
This is a kind of circular process which has no beginning. This is the natural LAW OF
KARMA which is noting else but the PRINCIPLE OF ACTION REACTION only.
12. EARTH resembles HEAVEN when we enjoy material PLEASURES.
13. EARTH resembles HELL when we suffer from material PAINS.
14. We keep bonding ourselves to temporary material pleasures and pains at Earth, Heaven and
Hell. FREEDOM is going beyond that!
LIBERATION is our permanent separation from temporary material lives, which takes the
SOUL, which is FREE from KARMA, to the SPIRITUAL SPACE. It is the peak of spiritual
growth. It is the ultimate peace and happiness out of our independence forever.
We become EMPTY like SPACE. It is the state of soul as God i.e. having complete
knowledge but only as an unattached WATCHER of it and no more a DOER from it.
15. Spiritual Intelligence based on our biased BELIEFS is sheer IGNORANCE. The truth of life
is completely SCIENTIFIC, UNBIASED and UNIVERSAL in nature.
True SPIRITUALITY is a pure and simple SCIENCE OF LIFE.
However, the main problem with majority of us humans, who are indeed the only ones
capable of exploring the truth, is our unwillingness to mature up to the next level of
awareness to understand the science of spirituality for our own well-being and that of others.
16. A soul, only while living life as a HUMAN BEING can achieve SALVATION / MOKSHA /
NIRVANA i.e. freedom from the Action-Reaction cyclical mess of material Re-Births by
clearing KARMA balance (Deeds / Actions).
Hence when a MARRIED couple gives ETHICAL birth to a child that helps a soul to ensure
his / her spiritual development during his / her life as a human being is like a blessing to that
soul and a natural act of MEANS.
Hence for those preaching in appreciation of CELIBACY for spiritual uplifting should also
kindly respect the very cause of their birth as a human being on this planet earth!
17. Knowledge is an independent entity. It simply and naturally acquires mediums to reach out
to people to direct them towards it only i.e. our SOUL. The God. Our own NATURE.
18. What really matters to be saintly is deep INTERNAL DETACHMENT. External
Renunciation ALONE is like cheating to ones own self.
In fact DONATION is the right way of RENUNCIATION and not withdrawing from
material responsibilities only.
19. Implementing knowledge practically in our own lives is a must to share it with others is a big
myth. Having knowledge is enough to be able to share it.
Smoking is injurious to health can be very well preached even by smokers themselves if
they are aware and also agree to the fact that it has ill-effects, though they themselves might
be struggling hard to quit smoking! It means that they are aware and also aiming to move
ahead on the path of progress and are also willing to take others together.
Knowledge is gained, shared and applied at different levels of spiritual growth as a natural
process as per the laws of life by nature as governed by TIME.
20. While managing your material needs if you can maintain a selfless and detached state of
MIND then that is enough for you to be regarded as a holy soul and a saintly individual.
21. While working in a SELFLESS state of MIND with an objective of SERVING OTHERS, it
is equally important to understand the fact that for a holy soul the term OTHERS naturally
include the entire human society, all other forms of lives, his / her own family as well as his /
her own current material body which needs to be maintained and kept healthy as well to
continue to do the good work.
22. MEDITATION is CONCENTRATION only. It is being AWARE.
Mind connects our soul to the body through brain. The powers of the human mind make us
stand out from all other living creatures as a human being. Mind is invisible matter.
23. Meditation blesses us with knowledge. It connects us to AURA. It links us to ENERGY too!
Meditation if done in a TRIANGLE structure is believed to be more effective for energy
generation. However, knowledge enlightenment is not at the mercy of any such specific
structures or postures.
Knowledge enlightenment is inversely related to KARMA trap. The more we free ourselves
from KARMA trap the more we get enlightened naturally and vice-versa.
24. GROWTH is real only when it is colorful and fragrant internally. The shadow of a plant
grows only when the plant it-self grows. The real growth lies in spiritual awareness and the
darkness of shadow is our bias towards EXTREME MATERIALISM only.
We can enjoy the real internal fragrance and colors of flowers of spirituality or suffer from
the darkness of its shadow of external materialization alone. The choice is ours to make.
What we can see physically can be deceptive and illusory too! We need to BALANCE.
25. BRAIN has Intelligence (Intelligence Quotient), Emotions (Emotional Quotient) and
Spirituality (Spiritual Quotient).
HEART is just like a pumping machine. Spiritual Intelligence (SI) is what mainly separates
us from other creatures.
26. The true essence behind the LAW OF ATTRACTION is that our success is always linked
and attached with our external environment and surroundings through which we are all
connected in some way or the other.
Hence never feel that I am great because I could do this but always be grateful and
understand the fact that Others are great who could help me achieve what I wanted.
27. Many of us believe that Money fetches Money. But the question is where would the
money come from in the first place to fetch more money?
It is blessings of nature which fetch real happiness. Money alone can be just shown
externally for a temporary period but happiness is to feel deep within the soul eternally.
28. The beauty of sound sleep, even for a few hours, can be felt only after a long day full of
HARD WORK before starting for the day ahead and so on.
29. The YOU as a person always remain relative to the existence of ALL OF US. The each one
from WE is a separate YOU and not otherwise.
30. The RICHEST person in the world is the one who not only knows how to earn money
ETHICALLY but also knows how to spend it MEANINGFULLY.
31. POWER brings RESPONSIBILTY. Honesty is always the best policy but what many of us
miss is that it needs to be applied with a little common sense so as to ensure that it pays back
well and its fruits reach to all those who need and / or deserve the same.
Thus it no way means to add to the crime of greedy people becoming greedier at the cost of
poor people becoming poorer and so on. What it means is to protect the Suffering and
Victim Classes by ensuring that no one misuses our power of honesty, which is meeting our
responsibilities. Power is a liability to be shared and not an asset to be owned.
32. HAPPINESS can not be owned, share it to feel it.
However there are always going to be two classes of people. Those who believe in spreading
happiness and hence they live a happy life themselves. The others are those who are busy
collecting it and that is why or because they are miserable. Be thankful to them for helping
us to share our happiness with them which actually allows us to feel the same in return! Let
us hope that they find PEACE and let us be peaceful too!
33. Only selfless GIVERS are true sense ACHIEVERS.
34. SIMPLICITY is the only correct, constructive, positive and value adding way of living.
Everything else is merely suicidal.
35. The shortest and most relevant definition of LIFE is IT ENDS. Life is too precious to
spend it worthlessly without any meaning or purpose. Look back. Plan ahead. Start today!
36. The shortest and most relevant definition of HEALTH is IT DETERIORATES. So
PRECAUTION is better than CURE. Invest today for a safer and better tomorrow!
37. SATISFACTION is the pleasant cost we all have to incur to achieve HAPPINESS and
PEACE rather than just wandering throughout our lives in search of the same.
38. The one who can be real FRIEND is the one who can play with you and can also happily see
you winning and not the one who just gathers around to party alone.
39. We should say THANK YOU only when we believe in paying back. We should not
misrepresent ourselves otherwise! Let us be true to ourselves at least.
40. We should say I AM SORRY only when we mean it and we are also ready to at least make
an honest attempt to improve and change ourselves by not repeating the same mistakes again
in future. Let us not only act smart.
41. CREATIVITY and PERFECTION can never co-exist. Be creative. Keep improving.
42. Be open to LEARN. That is also the only way to EARN. Learning knows no end.
43. Learn to acknowledge and appreciate OTHERS. That is the only way you can be FAMOUS.
44. The construction of the building of any organisation starts from the BOTTOM but the value
system always follows from the TOP. Let us first look at ourselves before blaming others.
45. A LEADER is just a TRUSTEE.
However, unfortunately majority of us focus only on our own benefits rather than keeping in
mind the fact that we are mainly responsible for serving others. We can grow only when we
first ensure that our surrounding grows too!
46. A MANAGER is just an ORGANIZER.
However, unfortunately majority of us are masters. SHARING is the only way of CARING.
Everything else is just hypocrisy.
47. SUCCESS can be measured only by how much we benefit others and vice-versa. That is the
essence of TEAM WORK. Everything else is false drama and confusion.
48. When we have such a wonderful life to live constructively, many of us keep busy in just
spending it uselessly.
May the HOPE to actually live life will wake up tomorrow for many of us who slept after
just spending one more day of our lives today, as usual!
49. People can not be termed as WINNERS or LOSERS.
Any VICTORY is just a destination for each previous trail taken by us in our lives and any
FAILURE is just a start for each new trail and so on. Both are just ongoing parts of our
journey of life and none of that alone can be defined as our entire life.
50. Always remember that TOMORROW NEVER DIES.
But do appreciate the fact that our TODAY was TOMORROW for YESTERDAY and so on.
Wake up. There is only today that we actually have. Always live in PRESENT.
The GOAL is set for all. Each passing day is taking us ahead towards our end! What we
need to set is positive OBJECTIVES of life to be achieved before that, though the final goal
remains unchangeable for all of us. Let us start living our lives sooner than we realize that
we just spent it worthlessly having no time left to rectify. Let us start achieving that matters.
No one can ever turn back TIME.
51. Thinking LATERAL does not always mean to negate others by raising objections alone. It
also means and includes understanding and also accepting others opinions and views too!
If you have Guts then Dare to be DIFFERENT!
2
So you have Guts!
Actually it does not require much daring to be different. It is quite natural that every
human being will always be different from others in some way or the other and there
is nothing so great about it because every human being is unique. But the
DIFFERENCE which we are going to create is not that simple and ordinary!
Lets ask ourselves a question:
Why do we have a subject called History in our curriculum?
The main reason for this is the existence of a few human beings who create a massive
difference by doing extraordinary things and this is what keeps them alive even after
their death in the form of history!
In this book we have a great opportunity to be a part of the history, which does not
require great efforts. It requires investment of around 30 minutes out of our entire life
i.e. the moment whoever will finish reading this book, that person will be the next
history maker. Believe me!
I also promise that the difference is going to be truly positive and value adding not
only to our lives but also to the very existence of the concept of life on this earth.
It will be history in the laws of life managed by Nature. The lessons from it will be
gifted by nature to all human beings including all other forms of lives by way of its
blessings for peace and happiness forever.
The journey to create the difference ends at the last chapter and I request you to not
miss any chapter in between to ensure that our journey of life does not miss out the
final destination of peace and happiness!
The difference that we will create is for our own self from what we are. It is neither
intended nor directed towards any comparative difference from what others are!
Different religions have beliefs in different names and / or forms of God (Nature).
Lets be God ourselves.
Sounds difficult?
Lets at least try and find out a solution to this.
Let us now start the journey to achieve the DIFFERENCE.
3
Yes, I have proved it! I am more rich / famous / powerful / intelligent / good looking
etc. than many others on this earth
It is the comparison that a person does of his own self with respect to others.
Comparison is one of the biggest enemies of our life. Right from the birth till the
last breath, during each stage of life, we humans just keep comparing one human with
another and so on for various attributes of our lives like looks, education, sports,
career, income, fame, social status, power, wealth etc.
Just think of an innocent newly born baby angel. When that baby looks around the
world he / she does not know anything. We teach that kid to compare himself / herself
with others. All parents want that their kid should be the best in all activities like
education, sports, drawing, dance and music etc.
Parents keep troubling their kids by expecting them to do all those activities which
they personally like or they themselves wanted to do but some how failed to do or
what other kids of their age are doing, without understanding what their kid is actually
interested in doing.
They even keep commenting on their performance based on their comparison with
other kids. What parents forget is that even their kid can compare their parents with
other kids parents in all respect!
It does not stop over here.
The race continues during various stages of life like the career, marriage then again
their kids and so on.
We all are always in a rush to reach the top in the form of higher education, income,
social status, fame, power etc. as compared to others throughout our lives.
At the end we realize the damage which we cause to our precious time during the
entire life when we finally have to stop or slow down out of compulsion due to our
helplessness like old age, health problems etc.
We then realize that we keep running behind the things which matter the least to live a
life full of happiness with peace of mind, complete satisfaction and good health but by
then it is always too late and as we all know time can never be turned back.
However, the world will never stop running and at that time we feel sorry to see the
rest of the world running the same way, in-fact may be at a much faster pace.
At this point we shout, Hey all, wait, think and then run. Look at me. Why arent you
listening to me? It is not too late. Come on, you can still change and improve but
4
nobody bothers to understand the depth and real message of that cry and the story
repeats itself!
Lets try to analyze the true meaning behind the term Comparison.
It is the parallel evaluation of two human beings with respect to each other for any
underlying criteria to find out Who is better than the other?
Why do we compare?
We see so many other human beings across the world and we want to understand how
we are different and better from them and so we compare ourselves with others.
Lets stop comparison and see the DIFFERENCE we will bring to ourselves.
We have lost control over our own psychology and emotions. We have all surrendered
the importance of our existence as a human being on this earth by comparing
ourselves with others all the time. We compare as per our own definition, knowledge
and set standards for the same which is also influenced by the comparison done by
others for us, on our behalf too.
If we want to compare ourselves with any given benchmark then let it be our own
self. Why to restrict ourselves to others by comparing with them? Always compare
our own past with our present and check whether we have improved or not to make
ourselves better human beings than before and so on.
As per the opinion of a few people, comparing ourselves with other human beings to a
certain extent may help us to understand what we can do to make ourselves a better
human being than what we are. However, we all make the biggest mistake of doing
MATERIALISTIC COMPARISON based on man-made artificial benchmarks like
income, expenditure, consumption, possession, social status, fame, power, wealth,
nationality, religion, creed, caste, color etc.
It restricts our scope to be a good human being. It creates psychological / emotional

sicknesses like anger, ego, jealousy, inferiority complex, fear, insecurity, stress and
depression etc. It sometimes leads to acute depression which might influence the
person to even commit suicide. Some may choose the negative path to be successful
in materialistic terms which leads towards the destruction for all.
What we forget is that the life is a journey only till death and we never apply for
either! There are many characteristics specific to each life and we never know the
reason for it. Many attributes of life are simply in-born and many other factors
continue to be ruled by laws of life as defined by Nature throughout the life, which we
humans can hardly understand or predict or change! Just look at the various forms of
lives around us having different attributes and we will get our answer.
Years will pass by, we will all grow older and the final destination for all is the same.
The final achievement is not what we feel it should be. The materialistic achievements
during the lifetime are temporary and limited to a particular life. What remains
forever is the SOUL.
5
Have we ever thought what can be the real and permanent achievement for the soul,
which is far better and meaningful than all these temporary achievements as defined
within the human made artificial structure of economy and society? It is the control
over our own mind and self-discipline.
The real happiness lies in satisfaction, which can be achieved only by spreading love
and happiness to all who are living on this earth. Materialistic Comparison will never
allow us to do that.
Next time when you compare ask yourself the following questions:
1. What am I comparing?
2. With whom am I comparing?
3. Why am I comparing?
4. What real and permanent value will it add to my life and that of others?
5. Will it harm anyone if I remain Neutral and Indifferent to the comparison or
will it help to achieve Peace and Happiness for all?
Your SOUL will give you the best answers!
6
I will prove that I am better
What are we fighting for?
We should try to live a meaningful life and not destroy it by becoming jealous of
other humans. We all are Gods (Natures) representatives and not enemies of each
other. We are social animals who have to live together to ensure that all lives on this
earth live a life full of happiness out of peace and good health.
Lets ask ourselves a question:
Has any one of us filed any application form before taking birth to decide on various
attributes of life which are in-born including other things which are ruled and
controlled by nature throughout our lives?
Is it our own decision to be born in a particular form? Can we decide when do we
want to die in advance? Why some forms of lives are animals / birds / plants and
some are human beings? Why some are dark in color and some are fair? Why some
are physically strong and some are not or say even handicapped?
It is all about the laws of life governed by nature which is based on our own actions /
deeds till a life according to which the next form and attributes of life for our soul is
decided. This is known as Law of Karma which is based on the principle of ActionReaction. This continues till we, the individual eternal souls, achieve Salvation /
Moksha / Nirvana.
Jealousy is the out come of comparison as discussed in the previous chapter. It affects
our psychology negatively and hurts our ego. It generates negative energy and so we
may also become evil and act negatively, which is harmful not only to others but also
to our own self.
If one can control the emotion of jealousy then that person can achieve peace of mind.
By controlling jealousy we can achieve highest level of satisfaction from our lives,
which finally leads to happiness. It is also good for both physical and mental health.
God (Nature) will feel happy to see that there are so many humans who are happy to
see others happy by spreading love in the form of helping others and taking care of
each other including other forms of lives.
There will be new rules set to run the world based on mutual help and co-operation,
which will allow each one of us to live a happy and meaningful life rather than being
a part of the blind rat race of materialistic competition out of jealousy.
Nature will feel happy for running this world. Nature will bless all with balance in life
where each human has peace, happiness and complete satisfaction in his / her life.
7
The next time you feel jealous ask yourself the following questions:
1. Am I feeling jealous? If yes, for what reason am I feeling jealous?
2. How and why this feeling of jealousy came in my mind? Is it helping me or
hurting me?
3. If I remain Neutral and Indifferent to jealousy then will it harm anyone
including me or will it help all to achieve Peace and Happiness for all?
8
Oh no! That person is ahead of me. Now let me see how he / she continues to be
there? I will pull him / her down and will go ahead of him / her
This is where majority of us spend our precious time. The terms comparison, jealousy,
competition sound similar to each other but in reality they have their own independent
existence and impact.
As we said when we compare we feel jealousy and then we start competing to find out
a solution to our jealousy!
With whom are we competing? Other humans like us. Is there anything great about it?
What are we going to achieve out of it? It may be higher income, status, fame and
power etc. than a few others, for a limited time period. All these just satisfy our ego.
Nature manages the life on earth and tries to balance out things over here but we make
it difficult for nature to spread its blessings equally to all; to spread love and
happiness all across the globe to all forms of lives.
Too much of competitive attitude makes our thoughts, speech and actions negative. It
makes us feel good when others loose. We become selfish, narrow minded, short
sighted and negative.
The real competition is competition with ones own self.
Lets try competing with our own self and see the miracle! We will achieve higher
satisfaction, happiness, success and peace of mind. Instead of competing we should
try to help others. Care for others including all various forms of lives. Respect all and
it will redefine the principles on which we govern the life.
Life will become more meaningful and worth living. If we can control our extreme
competitive attitudes then the rules of the game will change and we will all give birth
to a new world where every living creature will be happy. It will benefit all and will
ensure the same for all coming generations, which will make the earth best place to
live forever!
Extreme competition can never help us to add any real and permanent value to our
lives because we define the need of competition within the human made artificial
boundaries of Economy and Society based on material benchmarks.
Do we compete for humanity and to achieve spiritual goals? No, Never. We devote all
our time and energy just for MATERIALISTIC COMPETITION.
We should have much more valuable goals to be achieved which stay long term, say
even permanent rather than competing to achieve only materialistic short term
temporary goals.
9
The next time you feel like involving yourself in extreme competition, just ask
yourself the following questions:
1. If I was to die in a few days, which are the goals which I would like to achieve
by then?
2. If I am going to grow old, get weak and finally die one day then which
achievements should be given more importance and priority in my life?
3. Where am I investing my limited time and precious energy of life? Is it worth
living that way? Is it going to add any real and permanent value to anyone
including me?
4. Do I need to change the way I am investing my time and energy to make my
life count and make it more meaningful than what I can think of?
10
Here comes the main cause behind all the enemies as discussed in the previous
chapters i.e. Comparison, Jealousy and Competition.
We have lost control over our own mind. We have become slaves of our own
psychology. We have forgotten that each living creature, including us, is a similar and
an individual eternal invisible SOUL which is separate from our current form of life.
We have surrendered ourselves to our ego and have got influenced by human made
artificial environment around us, which teaches us the concept of ego and the
inhuman ways to protect it.
We have taken ourselves far away from the principles of life as defined by nature. We
are causing harm not only to ourselves but also to the very concept of life on this
earth. Our efforts are directed only towards materialistic and show-off kind of
goals and we are wasting our time and energy in areas that matter the least to live a
meaningful and value adding life due to the ego trap.
The fact is that the moment we win over our ego and attain neutrality and indifference
from human made materialistic environment we become the most powerful and
constructive human being in this world in any manner.
Ego does not exist in reality. It is just a psychological sickness, which gets influenced
by the human made artificial materialistic environment within which we all live.
To free ourselves from the slavery of ego we have to connect our mind to our soul and
start focusing on the true facts of life. Ego can be for looks, voice, physical strength,
art, knowledge, money, power, fame, status, wealth etc.
We have forgotten that the true principles of life are managed and controlled by
Nature and material life continues only till death.
The moment we become egoist we no longer remain humans but we get converted to
living materials. We loose respect and love of all our well-wishers. We feel that
good is bad and bad is good and we realize our mistake only when we grow old
and less useful and are left alone, because materials are liked only till they are useful.
At the end we realize that we have actually lost many things, which matter the most
and what we have achieved by then seems to be of no use. Think about it!
Ego makes us rude and activates our anger. It makes us think and act negatively. We
become selfish, rigid, short sighted and inhuman. We may harm others happiness. We
loose control over our own thoughts, speech and actions, which may hurt others and
invite troubles for our own self as well.
God (Nature) feels sorry for such humans but God (Nature) may find it difficult to
help them to cure their sickness because those who are egoist are not ready to help
11
themselves. As per the laws of life by nature, represented by our belief in Gods
blessings, can help only those who are ready to help themselves and others.
The moment we become egoist our development stops there itself. In fact it
deteriorates the quality of our life. We loose peace of mind and happiness. The evil
minded people take advantage of people who are egocentric for their own benefit and
when the time comes to repay they turn their back towards the person in need.
At the end egoist people find themselves lonely having no real satisfaction and
happiness in their life. At this point they feel guilty and try to bond with their true
well-wishers again who then forgive them but then such humans never come out of
their guilt-trip till the end of their life for what they have done to others.
To ensure that we are not egoists learn to say Sorry when we know that we are
wrong and try to improve and see to it that the same mistakes are not repeated in
future. Learn to say Thank You when we know that some one has helped us and do
try to help others when possible.
Accept the law of nature that each life on this earth deserves equal respect, freedom,
peace and joy. Also understand the fact that no one can get all happiness in the world
alone and that happiness is a feeling, which increases only by sharing it and not by
owning it. Last but not the least, always remember that the laws of nature rule our life
and life is not going to be constant or permanent the way it is today.
Next time when you feel ego ask yourself the following questions:
1. Who am I?
2. Why am I the way I am?
3. Am I egoistic? If yes, Why?
4. Is ego helping anyone in any manner?
5. If I do not be egoistic then will it cause any harm to anyone in any manner or
will it help all to be happy?
6. Will everything remain the same as it is today?
7. Will I never grow old?
8. Will I never die?

What is anger? It is an emotion where we do not agree to or like a happening and so
we react to it to express our disagreement.
Anger ill impacts our thoughts, speech and actions. The one, who gets angry, thinks
negatively, makes use of improper language, tone, volume and body language. If it
goes beyond control then one may also become abusive and may even cause physical
injury to himself / herself and / or to others.
Remember that all humans think, talk and act differently because each one of us has
got unique psychology and emotions. However the laws of nature always remain true
and one may choose to accept it or not but that does not change them. Nature has got
enough power and also responsibility to control and manage its laws.
There are many things in life which are either white or black though few humans get
confused by mixing them and calling them the gray shades of life. That is where the
problem lies; we all expect everything to change as per our beliefs and opinions. We
come across so many differences in opinions throughout our life in almost everything
we think, speak or do.
Nature ensures that the world is ruled as per its laws of life and does whatever is
necessary to bless us and so also to punish us.
On any happening ask your self just three questions as follows:
1. What is the real impact of any given situation, fact or event on me and others?
2. Do I need to react to it? If yes, then what response is going to be beneficial to
me and everyone else, which will also ensure peace and happiness for all?
3. Am I wrong? If yes, then how should I correct myself, which will add quality
to everyones life? If not, how should I handle it for the benefit of all?
The reaction that causes harm is called ANGER and the response that helps is
SOLUTION. Thus anger is never the solution to any problem. In fact it increases the
negative impact and complexity of the given problem, making it difficult to solve.
The most funny thing about anger is that many a times it is subjective and conditional
i.e. we first judge the person whom we are angry with and the situation we are in and
then decide if we should express our anger or not.
If the opposite person is more powerful, in any manner, then we tend to be polite and
try to adjust and react accordingly. This may also result in a situation where we vent
out our frustration and helplessness on other innocent people by getting angry on
them unnecessarily. Thus we get angry provided we know its consequences and do
not feel scared of opposite persons further reaction on our anger, when we are sure
that he / she is less powerful or strong then us. It is like cheating ones own self! So it
is always better to remain calm in any situation, with all people, to the maximum
extent possible!
13
Mind and Tongue play a very important role in managing anger.
Just follow following two golden principles and things will be fine:
1. Try to control your tongue and keep your mouth shut when there is no real
need to speak out, especially when you are angry. Choose to speak later when
your mind is calm. It will not only help to resolve the problem but will also
save every ones time and energy.
2. Stop thinking about the situation over and over again and do not make any
hasty decisions when you are too much excited out of anger. Wait for some
time; say a few minutes, a few hours, a day or two or even more and then
think with a calm mind and decide what should be the appropriate action that
needs to be taken and then finally express your response
I am sure that what we will decide to communicate then will be different from what
we must have thought of communicating when we were angry! It will benefit all and
bring out the actual solution to the point of concern.
Thus the main factors to be taken care of are to manage mind and control tongue to
deal with anger and its consequences. Lets speak reality and rationality, only when
required, to the extent required and where required. While communicating we have to
be very careful in deciding the language, tone, volume, body language that should be
meaningful and value adding to spread love, care, respect, peace and happiness!
Those who can control anger are liked and respected by all. Such people achieve
maximum peace of mind and happiness in their life which generates positive energy
in them including their surroundings. These people represent God (Nature) and they
are here to do the honor of spreading the true secrets of peace, success and real
happiness which is represented by the thought called Blessings of God (Nature).
We do accept that we all may get angry in some instances even though we may try to
control it by trying not to express it at least. We also know that it is not that easy to
control and manage anger. But it is not impossible! Lets do our best to try it out!
The next time you are angry with someone ask yourself the following questions:
1. Am I angry? If yes, why? What is my plan of response? Should I change it to
bring a solution and avoid anger?
2. What, Why, Where, When, with Whom, How am I going to communicate?
3. Do I really need to communicate what I want to communicate? Can I avoid it?
Can I postpone it? Do I need to re-think before I communicate?
4. The language, tone, volume and body language that I am going to use are for
what reason and are they appropriate or do I need to modify them to be more
positive, soft and polite while communicating?
5. Can I make my communication short but still complete and effective?
6. Can I think, communicate and act differently to ensure Peace and Happiness
for everyone?
14
It is the out come of all our enemies as discussed till now in the previous chapters.
They do not help anyone, rather we ourselves start feeling fear and insecurity because
of them. Those who try to understand and respect the laws of life governed by nature
can become neutral and indifferent and can learn true spirituality that helps us to keep
away from fear and insecurity.
When we feel insecure or scared, what do we do? We simply create the same for
others and thus it creates a chain reaction where everyone gets trapped into the feeling
of fear and insecurity and thus the very concept of life itself losses peace.
We just keep struggling for happiness. We try to own it. But the reason why we fail is
that we do not know the basic fact that we never shared it and just tried to own it.
There are many ways in which one feels fear or insecurity. Broadly they can be
divided into Personal and Social areas of Fear and Insecurity as follows:
1. Personal including Family Life:
These are the areas related to personal and family life i.e. relations with parents,
brother, sister, spouse, kid, relatives, friends etc. The issues which many of us face are
loss of trust among family members / relatives / friends, splitting up of families,
quarrels, cheating, divorce etc.
Just try to think the reason with a relaxed mind, why all these happen and what is our
contribution in its occurrence and also resolution? We all are humans and if we fail in
running our lives with peace, happiness and good health then our life itself is a failure
and then no materialistic achievement or anything for that matter is of any relevance
to anyone.
Without having the peace of mind life sounds just a waste. We feel depressed. Say for
example many young people are not ready to look after their parents when they grow
old but they forget the fact that they were not ready or smart enough to earn huge pay
packages or make profits right from their birth. They have grown with the time and
with their parents love, support and help and soon in a few years they will be in the
same situation as their parents.
People make mistakes and teach wrong lessons to their kids, which destroy not only
their lives but also messes up the core values of mutual help and co-operation. People
are becoming selfish due to short term and materialistic vision for life.
2. Social Life:
These are the areas which fall under the human made artificial structures of Economy,
Society, Caste, Religion, Country, Government, Law etc. The problems of huge
population, excessive pollution and waste, global warming, depletion of natural
15
resources etc. are caused by whom? Who is causing wars and terrorisms? Who is
supporting inequality on the basis of religion, caste, creed, color, status based on
materialistic benchmarks? Who is responsible for corruption, frauds, theft, scandals,
kidnapping, rape and all such social, economical malpractices etc.?
It is only we humans. So are we the one who is facing it or causing it? Remember that
Nature is the final ruler. It is nature that rules life, which we have to accept and so
also respect.
Why are we born and why do we die? Who has produced all natural resources, which
we enjoy for our consumption? It is Nature. We have to take care of nature and also
try to manage the life on earth in a way which ensures sustainability of life with ever
increasing peace, happiness and good health for all.
Nature has defined principles on which the cycle of birth-death-birth of soul
into various forms and characteristics is going on and on. It is based on the Law of
Karma i.e. principle of Action - Reaction. The soul can win liberation by achieving
Salvation / Moksha / Nirvana at the end of a human life by clearing Karmas balance
(Actions / Deeds), which trap the soul into material pleasures and pains in various
material forms of lives on various material planets Viz. Earth, Heaven and Hell.
So now we have to decide whether we want to make our life meaningful or destroy it
by following the wrong directions. Lets make a joint and collective effort and unite
and contribute to change the way we all think, talk and act. We should all have a joint
long-term vision, which goes even beyond this current form of our life.
By allowing the concept of fear and insecurity to be there in this world we are also
causing the same for ourselves and for that matter for all generations to come.
Remember that we are social animals and so it is only mutual caring and sharing
which can help us.
If we become narrow minded and have only a short term vision by becoming selfish
then we are putting our own self into trouble because every action has got a reaction.
Lets unite and make our world the best place to live in forever by removing the
existence of Fear and Insecurity from every ones life.
By the way, what is that?
16
This is the only and final goal which we all have to achieve.
All that we have discussed so far is aimed at achieving Peace and Happiness. We have
to ensure peace and happiness including good health not only for we humans but for
all forms of lives spread across the globe.
All psychological and emotional enemies like Comparison, Jealousy, Competition,
Ego, Anger, Fear and Insecurity are taking away peace and happiness from our lives.
We feel happy only if we feel satisfied. The root cause of all problems and worries
associated with our life is DESIRES. Desires are innumerable and never ending and
hence we are never ever satisfied.
Many of our desires are merely psychological. These desires are influenced by
demonstration effect and they do not play any role in adding the real value and
meaning in our lives to achieve peace and happiness. In fact many desires are harmful
to our Health as well.
We all are caught in the Trap of Desires which has made us inhuman by getting
biased only towards excess materialism. Desires are ruling our lives by controlling
our mind. All problems associated with our lives which are discussed throughout this
book and also several other problems are a result of the Desires Trap.
Desires lead to the need for Consumption and Possession. Lot of our Consumption
and Possession are avoidable and it will not harm anyone in any manner; in fact it will
have a positive impact of increasing real peace and happiness for all forms of lives
across the globe forever with sustainable growth and everlasting success.
It is really very challenging to control desires. The best and most easy solution to win
over our desires is to follow the practice of Taking Vow / Oath against Desires i.e.
Taking Vow / Oath to keep away from Consumption and Possession caused by our
endless desires.
It is very simple, just close your eyes, concentrate on your breath and connect your
mind to your SOUL i.e. the real you and your thoughts and instruct your mind that I
decide to avoid Consumption / Possession of XYZ (i.e. what ever you can decide to
avoid, in the manner possible by you, which may restrict it completely or to a certain
extent or for a particular time frame).
If you believe in any particular name and / or form of God (Nature) and even visit any
particular temple then take such vows / oaths while praying to the God (Nature) in
which you believe, may be when you visit the temple.

This will add to your confidence and also your determination to follow the vow / oath
and will help you not to break it by controlling your conscience.
17
If you do not believe in any particular name and / or form of God and / or visiting any
particular temple then just be confident of your inner self i.e. the soul and be
committed to it for the vow / oath taken by you.
In fact this is the real approach by those who know true spirituality and the real God
i.e. Nature. Religion i.e. believing in any particular name and / or form of God
including temple, prayers, rituals, rites etc. is just a stepping stone to reach to that
level of maturity and understanding about the truth of life! The real temple is the
Body and true prayer is Meditation for the final ruler Nature, which is termed as
God i.e. each individual eternal Soul which is an invisible living energy!
Just try it and see the magic the moment you promise yourself to win against your
avoidable desires. You will become your own king by having control over your
negative psychology and biased emotions. You will have complete control over your
mind and hence on your thoughts, speech and actions.
You wont be a slave of the outside artificial environment functioning within the trap
of desires and nothing would influence you anymore. You will feel great. You will
feel the power of self-independence. You will get relief from the feelings that trouble
you unnecessarily. You will feel real peace of mind and true happiness.
Now that desires can not trouble you any more, you will get FREEDOM from
DESIRES! It will be helpful not only to you but also to the very concept of life on this
earth to achieve the final goal of success, good health, peace and happiness forever.
Lets do a small exercise (Please be 100% true to your self):
1. List down the things Consumed / Possessed by you.
2. List down your desires.
3. Divide this list into Necessities, Comforts and Luxuries.
4. Estimate the time and efforts required for the entire process in consuming /
possessing them and its implication on the nature and other lives on this earth.
5. Now check what real value does it add to your life and decide whether it is
worth the time and efforts you need to spend on it?
6. Is there anything which has no real value but we still consume / possess it?
7. Is there anything which actually harms us and even other lives, in whatever
manner, which we consume / possess?
8. Can we still think of a life which is much more peaceful and happy even
without such consumption / possession?
9. Will non-consumption and non-possession add any value to the nature and its
laws of life to ensure peace and happiness including good health for all?
10. Finally based on the above analysis classify desires into Avoidable and
Unavoidable and check whether we can contribute to avoid the problems and
worries associated with the concept of life on earth, as discussed in this book,
by controlling our Consumption / Possession needs?
Once we are through this exercise, we will find that we can actually do without many
things including those, which we are already consuming or having possession of.
However we selfish, short sighted, egoist, confused and misguided humans are
causing huge harm to nature and its laws of life by our excessive consumption /
18
possession, which is creating imbalance in the world in all manner. We should try to
consume only to the extent we need. We should try to control our desires because they
are endless!
We should try to own our psychology / emotions by controlling our mind. We should
not allow the artificial extreme materialistic environment to influence us. We should
not think only about ourselves and also for this life only. Lets have a broad and long
term vision for life.
We have to ensure that earth survives and continues to be the best place to live
forever. It will not only help our next generations to come but will also benefit our
own self during the journey of our soul in various lives, in different material forms,
having different characteristics, until we achieve Salvation / Moksha / Nirvana.
We should also try to restrict our consumption and possession to Veg. items.
Vegetarian is the best way of living because it is less painful and sinful.
The scientific and logical reasoning for the same is that the life of living creatures like
animals (including fish) and birds (including egg) etc. used for producing Non-Veg.
food and other consumables etc. have got more SENSES like touch, taste, smell, sight
and hearing including POWERS to think and walk, fly etc. due to various body parts.
Whereas living creatures like vegetables i.e. fruits, plants (including milk) etc. used
for producing Veg. food and other consumables etc. just possess the body i.e. touch
sense and they are not gifted with other senses including power to think and different
body parts by nature.
It may not sound that easy to become complete Vegetarian immediately but we can at
least try to inculcate it in our day to day life. We can start with consuming Veg. food
and then gradually shift all our needs to Veg. goods or at least try to restrict our
consumption of Non-Veg. items for Non-food products which are made from animals
/ birds that have died out of their natural death.
However, the use of this discretion is challenging because it is really difficult to
ensure its authenticity of being a Non-Living Non-Veg. item. However that will help
us to start avoiding Non-Veg. items and gradually shift to the Veg. life. But at any
point of time the best life can only be the one which is complete Veg., which is much
more challenging.
Do we decide our birth / death and other external attributes? No. So are we in charge
of our lives or is it bestowed upon us by some unknown power, which is in charge of
it? It is the laws of life by nature, an automated eternal system that manages the same
based on Theory of Karmas (Deeds / Actions). But we humans have limited memory
power to remember our past and complete facts of life and so we cant remember the
same until we reach to the stage of Omniscience by practicing Meditation for selfrealization
and also by practicing Sacrifice and Forgiveness for reduction of Karmas.
However we can at least observe and understand the world around us consisting of so
many various forms and characteristics of material lives, which is the proof of
Natures Laws of Life on its own!
19
Human beings are not the only ones who are living. We agree to the fact that all
animals, birds, trees etc. are living creatures. So now who decides that who will
become what? Even within a category of life, who decides that someone will take
birth with physical disabilities and someone will not? So by that sense each individual
soul gets the opportunity to visit all permutations and combinations otherwise it will
be justice to some and a huge injustice to others. So by that sense there does exit a
concept of Re-Birth. Obviously yes, otherwise what happens to a body on death?
Why it stops functioning? It is because life is not that body. Life is the soul which was
running that body which got transformed to some other body on death of the previous
form of life until we succeed in achieving salvation.
The place, form and characteristics of each new life depend on our own conduct till
the previous life and so on, based on the principle of Action - Reaction
which is referred by the term Theory of Karmas based on the laws of life by nature.
The one who can control desires can succeed to reach closer towards the ultimate goal
of Salvation / Moksha / Nirvana.
This can be achieved only at the end of the material life as a human being because
humans possess additional power of thoughts and vision as per the laws of life by
nature. In simple terms salvation is a state of life in Spiritual Space where the soul
does not depend on any body structure to survive and thus there is no further death
attached to it. It is the body which takes birth, takes breath, food and water as may be
required to live and finally ends with death and not the soul.
The soul is the driving force that keeps moving from one body to another till it
achieves salvation. Thus it relieves the soul from the trap of karmas and thus from the
slavery of birth-death cycle forever and hence all related pleasures, needs, formalities,
worries, problems and pains etc. associated with it.
It is so logical that we all have to pay back for everything we do as per the law of
nature of Zero Sum Game of life by suffering the equal amount of pains and
troubles which we cause to other lives, in different lives lived by us, to pay for
everything we did till that day and also for things which we continue to do. This
continues till we do not have any balance in our Karmas account with nature. If we
succeed in closing our account of material pleasures and pains then we achieve
salvation. It is the highest level of peace and happiness for our soul from its freedom
from temporary material lives on various material planets i.e. Earth, Heaven and Hell.
Lets unite and create a massive DIFFERENCE in our own self! Let each one of us
decide I want to become God. To be God is just To be Good. It is really
challenging. However we may not leave everything and straight away become MONK
/ SAINT. That is not an issue at all. We should live to serve others in a selfless state
of Mind by devoting our soul to Godliness while managing our material needs.
Lets try to represent the essence behind the thought of God i.e. Nature by being
Good i.e. Natural (Spiritual) in its true sense. That is better than wasting the
precious birth of our soul as a human being. Lets at-least try to get closer to our final
goal of SALVATION and allow our SOUL to continue the journey in search of the
ultimate peace and happiness from its FREEDOM FOREVER!

Happiness can not be owned, share it to feel it

This book is an attempt to learn the best Management Principles taught by Chanakya.
Chanakya was an ancient teacher / trainer from India who transformed one of his students
Chandragupta Maurya as a great king from scratch. Chandragupta Maurya was the grand
father of the great king Ashoka.
Chanakya had also played the role of a strategic leader to ensure defeat of Alexander when the
latter had attacked India.
Chanakya has shared his knowledge and philosophies through his huge literatures which mainly
include the books popularly known as Chanakya Niti and Kautilyas Arthashastra.
Chanakya Niti can be considered as his overall management philosophies which have many
verses in Sanskrit language. However, here I have only penned down a few of them to focus on
his more intense teachings in just 1 Page to add maximum value at the minimum possible
investment of our time.
Here the methodology which we will follow is that to quote the original Sanskrit verses by
great Chanakya and then try to learn the management philosophy from the same.

RAJYA-MULAM-INDRIYA JAYAH: Those who have complete control over their senses can
become great leaders. To ensure the same we should learn to keep control over our Mind
which manages our thoughts, speech and physical actions. Our senses are influenced by Material
Desires. Our true inner self, the soul is linked to the body through mind. Meditation helps in
self-realization, which helps in controlling senses utilization, by developing control over mind.
JIT-ATMA SARVAYEH SAMYUJYET: The super souls, who are self-disciplined and selfcontrolled,
lead their life with an objective of serving others in a selfless state of mind and
achieve great success for all forms of lives across the globe. Thus indirectly the ones who are
short visionary, greedy and selfish; they ill affect the wellbeing of the world at large.
NASTY-AHANKAR SAMAH SATRU: There can be no other enemy as dangerous as our own
ego. The ego of material achievements like money, fame, power etc. are related to our current
form of life as a human-being which is temporary in nature. We are spiritual beings having
physical existence until we achieve salvation. We should keep ourselves detached from the trap
of ego attracted by our material achievements related to our current form of material life.
SARVA- JAYATYA KRODHA: The one who can conquer anger can conquer everything.
PRIYA-VADINO NA SATRU: The one, who speaks politely and pleasantly, makes no enemies.
SARVASYA BHUSHANAM VINAYA: The best ornament of all is humbleness.
SAT-YEN DHARYATE LOKAH: The commitment to truth leads to real success and true
happiness across the globe forever.
NASTI DEHINA SUKH-DUKHA-BHAV: Happiness and sorrow are two sides of a coin i.e. our
life. Success and failure are parts of the life cycle. Our failures teach us to be careful the next
time by not repeating the same mistakes again. Success in one commitment may guide us to
succeed in other tasks which are yet to be performed in life. Learn from past failure and success,
but live in present. This will help us to plan for the future in a much better way.
TRUSHNAYA MATI-CHHADHYATE: Influence of extreme material desires destroys the
conscience. The one who gets trapped by extreme materialization can not understand the power
of spiritual intelligence and gets biased only towards illusory material intelligence.
DUKHANAM-AUSHADHAM-NIVARNAM: The final solution to all the worries, problems
and formalities attached to material forms of lives is only Salvation / Moksha / Nirvana.
Salvation is the peak of spiritual growth. It is the ultimate peace and happiness for the
completely enlightened soul having no KARMA balance. Its our permanent liberation from
the slavery of temporary material forms of lives on material planets Viz. Earth, Heaven and Hell.
VIDHYA-ARVYAPITA KHYATI: Knowledge fetches respect. Learning is a continuous and
never ending process. We should always be ready to learn with an open mind.
YATHA BIJAM TATHA NISPATI: We reap what we sow.

Ramayana Management of the Theory of Time in 3 Pages

2
This book is an attempt to learn Management of the Theory of Time based on the laws of life
by Nature.
We will start with the epic Ramayana and then we will try to link it to various Theories of
Time to learn the true secrets of Life Management. All the efforts are clubbed into just 3 Pages
hence we will focus only on the core learning.
Please read it just as a Management Book and not as a comment on any religion or God etc.
It is a sincere and honest attempt to add maximum value and meaning to our current existence as
a human being of current age of 21st century, at the minimum possible investment of our time.
It is a small contribution from my end as compared to the entire galaxy of knowledge that can be
explored by us. If we get clarity in the universal principles of Life Management then we can
easily build on it, even by referring to various literatures related to life management based on
spiritual intelligence, whether linked to any religion or not or by any other mode, as one may
believe in or choose to refer to.
As we all say, Learning is a continuous and never ending process if we try to learn with an
Open Mind. So lets stick to what we all say!
3
Shri Rama: He represents a human being having complete control over his / her Mind. It also
represents a Natural Age state of mind.
The Ravana: He represents a human being who has lost control over his / her Mind. It also
represents the influence of extreme Material Age.
Controlled Mind personalities: They are balanced personalities with clarity in objectives and
right vision. Their thoughts, speech and physical actions are positive, constructive, ethical and
value adding. They maintain self-control and self-discipline. They aim at serving others in a
selfless state of mind. They believe in non-violence, peace, truth and simplicity. They follow
sacrifice and forgiveness. They practice mutual help and co-operation. They spread love,
respect, good health and happiness to each form of life across the globe. They always keep at
peace and are not influenced by anger, ego, deception or greed. They worship work and maintain
humbleness. They represent, respect and also follow true laws of life by nature.
Un-Controlled Mind personalities: The one who is opposite of the controlled mind personality.
The War between Shri Rama and The Ravana and the victory of Shri Rama: It represents an
eternal Theory of Time which starts from Natural Age but gradually moves towards
Material Age where the world at large starts suffering from its negative side effects. When it
goes to extreme limits and reaches the peak of Materialism then nature has to ensure the rebirth
of complete Natural Age as a gradual process and finally rebalance the world to ensure its
survival and so on. This explains the eternal process of management of the theory of time as per
the laws of life by nature. Nature ensures that the world is ruled as per its laws of life and does
whatever is necessary to bless e.g. natural resources and to punish e.g. natural calamities.
Lets try to understand the Theory of Time from other aspects:
Economy: In general, as per studies, the economy faces the eternal cycle of economic
development from recession to prosperity and then again to recession and so on.
Shares / Stock Market: In general, as per studies, the share market faces the eternal cycle of Bull
Run and Bear Run. In between the Bull Run we have corrections and then again Bull Run and
vice-versa and so on.
Life: The eternal soul is an invisible living energy which takes birth in a material form of life
and then takes rebirth in some other material form on death of the former one, which has no
beginning as per the Theory of Karma, which is based on the principle of Action-Reaction. It
is also believed that a soul that has done positive deeds visits heaven to enjoy extreme material
pleasures whereas the soul that has done negative deeds visits hell to suffer from extreme
material pains. With the help of Meditation we can achieve self-realization and reach the stage
of Omniscience. We, the eternal souls can achieve complete enlightenment by getting
complete rid of karmas i.e. material actions caused by thoughts, speech and physical actions
linked to our material desires aimed at senses gratification, which keeps the soul trapped in
material lives. At the end of such Human life the soul enters into the Spiritual Space i.e.
Salvation / Nirvana / Moksha and wins freedom from material pleasures and pains forever.

Lets try to understand the Theory of Time based on various religious teachings:
Christianity: The teachings blessed by the holy soul prophet Jesus Christ includes mentioning of
the day of JUDGMENT which also means destruction of material existence. (This is just a
reference. For complete and exact details please refer to the holy book Bible)
Islam: The teachings blessed by the holy soul prophet Hazrat Muhammad includes mentioning
of the day of QAYAMAT which also means destruction of material existence. (This is just a
reference. For complete and exact details please refer to the holy book Quran)
Hinduism: The learning from literatures of Hindu religion includes mentioning of the current
extreme Material Age as KALI YUG which is one of the cycles of the YUG CHAKRA i.e.
eternal process of the time cycle starting from 1 to 4 and then again from 1 to 4 and so on,
according to which the current cycle is the 4th one known as the DARK AGE. (This is just a
reference. For complete and exact details please refer to the holy books on Hinduism)
Jainism: The learning from literatures of Jain religion includes mentioning of the current
Material Age as the DUSHAM KAL which is one of the form of AARA / KAL CHAKRA
i.e. eternal process of the time cycle starting from 1 to 6 and then again from 6 to 1 and so on,
according to which the current cycle is the 5th one in the time cycle from 1 to 6 which is known
as the PAINFUL AGE. (This is just a reference. For complete and exact details please refer to
the holy books on Jainism)
The above analysis is just an unbiased attempt to find a link between few religious teachings to
learn the Theory of Time. There is no intention to test or verify or evaluate them. There is also
no intention to comment on them, whether they are true or false. In fact the efforts are made to
learn from all of them. They teach SIMILAR life management principles based on the spiritual
laws which are universal in nature. However we humans misinterpret them and loose the beauty
of its essence by fighting with each other in the name of a religion or God.
In todays commercial world, no one can deny the fact that the more we are developing, the
majority of us is turning selfish, short visionary, inhuman and evil. We are unnecessarily
compromising with the values, principles, discipline and ethics which are required to build a
beautiful world with long term sustainable growth and ever increasing peace, good health and
happiness for all forms of lives forever. Lets try to analyze the current situation of 21st century:
Human brain has got mainly three quotients:
IQ: Intelligence Quotient
EQ: Emotional Quotient
SQ: Spiritual Quotient
Majority of us concentrate just on IQ and EQ. The mind functions in two ways Viz. Conscious
and Sub-Conscious. The mind has two ways of thinking Viz. Left Brain (mainly IQ Based) and
Right Brain (mainly EQ and SQ based).
We intelligent and biased emotional humans are trapped by the deceptive intelligence by
concentrating only on the conscious mind and left brain thinking process. We, the commercial
world of 21st century are not fully aware of the power of Spiritual Intelligence.

We have such a beautiful earth to live. What are we giving it in return?
We are causing extreme pollution, massive waste products, global warming and depletion of
natural resources etc.
We have such a wonderful opportunity of living life as a human being. What are we doing in
return?
We are causing religious bias, wars, terrorism, riots, murders, power games, corruption, bribing,
frauds, black market, smuggling, scandals, crimes, gambling, robberies, kidnapping, rape, sexual
harassment, prostitution, racism, inequality, quarrels, family splits, cheating, divorces,
intoxication, consumption of drugs, adulteration of food, fake medicines, counterfeit products,
extreme materialism, increasing gap between rich and poor, beggars and killing of animals and
birds for food / consumables etc.
All such psychological, emotional, behavioral, personal, professional, social, economical,
political, ecological and environmental issues are increasing at an alarming rate which take away
peace and happiness from our lives and also cause deterioration of our mental as well as physical
health.
The time has come to be serious about the future which we all are defining for ourselves
including our next generations to come. It will also benefit our own self during the journey of
our soul in various lives, in different material forms, having different characteristics until we
achieve salvation.
To worship God is to be God. To be God is to be Good. To be Good is to follow Godliness.
Lets take up the collective charge of God and contribute to spread Non-Violence, Peace, Truth,
Simplicity, Good Health, True Success and Real Happiness across the globe for all forms of
lives and move towards our Salvation.
Majority of us believe only in material comparison which leads to jealousy and so we compete
with each other to satisfy our egos. Thus indirectly we are competing with God because at the
end we all are representatives of God i.e. Nature. Lets try to maintain neutral and indifferent
state of mind to the influence of extreme material environment. Learn to feel happy through
satisfaction by keeping our true inner self, the soul detached from material illusions. Follow the
golden principles of love, help, respect and co-operation because power is not a thing to be
owned but it is a responsibility to be shared. We all have limited time and power as a human
being. Now it is upon us to decide the way in which we want to invest it.
Lets be smart and not just fake intelligent. Lets unite and contribute for our own well-being
which is possible only by collective well-being of all forms of lives across the world. Simplicity
is real Smartness. Too much consumption and materialism is illusory intelligence.
We may choose to live a valuable life or just spend it worthlessly. We should find a balance
between our personal, professional, social and spiritual goals.
Though we can not change the eternal theory of time as defined by nature, we can at least try to
reduce its impact for many who will choose to be SMART!

The 25 Best MANAGEMENT GURUS

2
The moment we refer to the words Best Management Gurus the first thing which
comes to our mind is that it might be related to some famous personalities. In-fact
some of us might have already thought of a few names known to us. The reason for
this is our assumptions and understanding based on the preconceived notions present
in our brain. This is an outcome of the things we have learnt throughout our life,
impact of the environment on our thinking process and our past experiences. However
this book is an attempt to learn management from various elements of nature i.e.
Plants, Animals, Birds and other creatures. It is rightly said and also believed by all of
us that Learning is a continuous and never ending process, if we try to learn with an
open mind. So lets stick to our words!
The most important aspect about all living creatures apart from human beings is that
they do not have any formal education like we do and they still manage their lives so
well!
Todays age is full of manmade developments. It can be termed as transformation
from Natural Age to Artificial Age. The nonhuman living creatures are still in their
Natural Age because they are not materially developed like us. This has proved to
be a more effective base to study management principles from them because they
represent the nature in its original form.
I have chosen the most relevant aspects of the lives of such 25 Management Gurus
who are very close to the Nature which can be linked to the Personal, Professional,
Social and Spiritual dimensions of every humans life. We will learn from these
Gurus to manage all areas of our lives, at every stage; in a much better way to add
value and meaning to our existence.
I have written this book with a focus on SPIRITUAL INTELLIGENCE that can help
us to perform, grow and succeed in the various dimensions of our life Viz. Personal,
Professional, Social and above all the Spiritual dimension.
Its a small contribution from my end as compared to the entire galaxy of knowledge
that can be explored by us. It is an honest and sincere attempt to discuss the most
relevant aspects in brief that can add true value, at a minimum possible investment of
our time!
Before we start, please note that all management gurus which are discussed in this
book are just to represent and discuss the management principles and it is not intended
to comment on them directly, in any manner.

Lets discuss a scientific experiment related to plants. Majority of us must have learnt
this during our school days but never saw it from a management lesson point of view:
Purpose: To prove that plants need sun rays to live.
Things required: A Plant, a Box.
Process: Place the plant inside the box and make a hole in one of the standing walls of
the box. Place the box in an open place with ample of sunlight.
Observation: The plant will start growing in the direction of the hole and it will try to
come out of the box through that hole.
Learning: Plants need sun rays to live and so it takes the route towards the hole in the
box to get the same by coming out from the box.
Lets try to link above scientific experiment to our life:
Plant: It represents our Soul. It is the real / actual life. It is an invisible living energy
which has no shape and it can not be touched, tasted, smelt, seen or heard.
Box: The box represents one of the material planets on which we all live i.e. Earth.
Here we represents our soul that is currently living life as a human being which is
one of the temporary material forms of lives. The box has six walls; four standing,
one at the base and one on the top. The four standing walls represent our Personal,
Professional, Social and Spiritual aspects of the life. The bottom represents the
knowledge which is given by the outside world from which we learn our various
lessons in life. The cover at the top represents our mind / brain which help us to learn,
think, analyze and develop ourselves.
The wall with the hole is our Spiritual dimension of life. It has hole which means that
its scope is not restricted to material world represented by the box. We can lead
towards spiritual growth which can finally make us, the souls independent from birthdeath
cycle by learning, understanding and following the true spiritual knowledge,
which is represented by the sun rays. It can be termed as a state of life where the soul
is free from the trap of temporary material body. Soul can achieve permanent freedom
from all pleasures, pains and formalities like birth - diseases - old age - death etc.
attached to material form of life. This is known as Salvation / Moksha / Nirvana.
We are living in a box i.e. our body on this material world. Life is the art of balancing
between our Personal, Professional, Social and Spiritual goals. The combination of
knowledge and our analytical mind helps us to understand and manage the same.
When the plant tries to come out of the box through the hole it represents the fact that
even we should lead life towards spiritual goals while managing commitments related
to our material life. We all are here to serve others in various capacities. We have to
ensure that we serve to others in a selfless state of mind. We should try to live life in a
detached way from its material aspects. Meditation helps in self-realization because
the soul is linked to body through Mind. Try to win control over mind.
5
The actual We i.e. the souls should be devoted to the spiritual values to achieve our
freedom. It is represented by the thought called God. God is a value system which
represents spreading of love, peace and good health across the globe to ensure
happiness for all. To worship God means to practice Godliness.
We have to ensure that we meet our worldly commitments in a detached way by
leading life in a devotional way following the spiritual management principles. This
will help us to win over our mind to manage our thoughts, speech and actions in a
constructive way which will help us to be successful in all dimensions of life Viz.
Personal, Professional, Social and Spiritual.
Let us prove that the soul exists and it is eternal. The Theory of Soul:
On death the body still exists but stops functioning. Thus it was the soul which was
running the body. It was the soul which experienced all material pleasures and pains
through that body while it was alive. On death of a body the soul leaves that body to
take another birth. This continues until soul achieves salvation. The body parts can be
replaced however the individuality of that person does not change. There can be joint
twins who are physically attached to each other, but have separate individualities i.e.
souls.
The way fire is hot, ice is cold, salt is sour etc.; in the same way soul is also
eternal. It is its nature. Nature represents eternal Facts. It is one of the laws of life
governed by nature i.e. it is one of the facts of life. It exists as per the Law of
Infinity which is also applicable to Time and Open Space i.e. Sky. Such facts can
neither have a start nor an end but they only have an existence at any given point of
time.
Thus the soul is eternal. Each soul is a living energy which has neither any beginning
nor any end. When we discovered fire, it was a fact that was already into existence,
thus it can not be said that the fire came into existence because we discovered it. The
same way it can never end.
The soul is an eternal fact which is an invisible energy, say like electricity. The soul
runs the life within a given form of body and experiences the pleasures and pains
attached to that form of temporary life.
Let us take one more example of water. By laboratory experiments we found out that
Water = H2O. But, why 2H (+) 1O = Water? It is simply one of the laws of life by
nature. Thus the laws of life by nature have no start or no end. They are automated
natural infinite processes. They always existed in past, they still exist and they will
always exist. In case of water, it has no shape and it can just change the form like
liquid, gas, solid. Thus each form has its own features but the fact remains the same
i.e. the soul.
Thus the theory of soul is scientific and logical and is applicable to each material form
of life including very micro and even invisible forms of material life. The laws of
nature are applicable to each soul irrespective of various material differences on the
basis of religion, caste, location, gender, form like human/animal/birds/vegetables etc.
e.g. the sun rays are same for all.
6
The important thing to learn over here is that the living creatures include various
elements like earth (sand/minerals), fire, water, air and elements that originate the
sound. They are the collection of numerous micro form of respective life which is run
by individual souls. The electricity is an invisible form of fire only and thus has life.
Similarly anything that is living based on birth-death principles is a form of temporary
material life run by eternal soul. The Time and Open Space i.e. Sky are nonliving.
The Theory of God:
As per the theory of soul we discussed that there can not be any starting point for
existence of Material Temporary Lives on earth run by individual eternal souls.
Whereas according to one more view the world was first created by God. But then
how God came into existence at first? What is the rational thought behind starting the
temporary material lives along-with material pleasures and pains? Lets discuss it:
The laws of life by nature are same for all and they are eternal. However we feel that
My religion is the best one amongst all, The God I believe in is the real one, My
religious beliefs and principles are the final one. We all have closed minds, which
hinders the true spiritual growth and we keep troubling ourselves and others, in this
cycle of birth-death on the material planets. Just ask your self one simple question
Why do I belong to a specific caste / religion etc.? The answer is simple We all
have caste / religion etc. by birth and not by choice. The birth and death cycle is not
through any application form submitted to God. So the thing which is more relevant
to our spiritual growth is the principles of nature. One should believe in God but not
link it to a particular name, person, idol, temple, religious book, religious festivals etc.
Any value system that spreads non-violence, peace and happiness including good
health across globe for all forms of lives is God.
The true spiritual principles behind the thought of God are represented by few
humans. They are Gods representatives. They spend their life in spreading the secrets
of true success, peace and happiness. Thus each soul deserves to be God if that soul
follows true spiritual development principles i.e. Godliness. However rather than
learning its essence we misinterpret them and start fighting with others in the name
of that person or any other name, religious book, idol, temple etc. as a God. By doing
this we loose the true learning and waste their and our efforts. Life is ruled by laws of
nature, an automated infinite system and the final authority, which we term as God.
God is a thought which defines values, morals, principles, ethics and right practices.
No God wants us to cause violence by way of wars, terrorism including killing of
animals / birds and other creatures. Even no God wants us to promote racism? We
humans worship God, the thought that spreads love, non-violence, peace, equality and
happiness and on the contrary we cause fear and unhappiness for other lives. So are
we truly fulfilling our responsibilities, which the Godhead wants us to do? To worship
God is to be God. To be God is to be Good. To be Good is to follow Godliness!
Thus the Spiritual Management, in all areas and at each stage of life, can add real
value to our existence. It can spread true Happiness and Success across globe for all
forms of lives. It can help us to build a long term healthy family, society,
organization, nation and world. It can ensure protection to organizational goals, social
cause and humanity along-with personal growth which can bring positive impact on
everyone. Finally, it can help us, the souls, to achieve spiritual growth as well.

Everyone likes flowers. Isnt it? Lets discuss the reasons for the same. They are soft
in touch and have various pleasant colors. Is that all? Whats more? Ok, let us answer
one question What is the first thing that majority of us will do on holding a flower?
Obviously, we all will smell it because it has a lovely fragrance. Dont we agree to
this?
Lets answer few more questions:
Can we see its color? Yes.
Can we feel its softness by touching it? Yes.
Can we see and touch its fragrance also? Never.
So then what is this fragrance? It is the nature of flower. Say, if you see a flower from
far with vibrant colors you will immediately feel like touching it. Then you will feel
its softness. Finally you would like to inhale its sweet fragrance. Suppose the flower
has very bad odor. Will you continue to like it? I do not think so. Would you like to
place it in your home, office or anywhere else? Obviously Not. So what matters the
most is its fragrance. Thus Fragrance is not dependent on looks or color.
Let us discuss this in a reverse way. Say there is a flower, it does not look that good to
attract attention, but it has the best fragrance in the entire world. So now what will be
your reaction? Obviously you will love that flower because it satisfies your desire of
enjoying its fragrance.
We all are like flowers. We all have different colors, looks etc. i.e. our skin color,
physical looks, age, financial status, social status, caste, religion, nationality etc. We
humans have attached huge importance to all this bodily and material aspects of life
under the terminologies of Society, Economy, Government, Law etc. We have
forgotten that we are not this body; we are the soul which is currently living its one
more temporary journey of life as a human being.
Thus we can be successful in our life only if we know how to spread love, nonviolence,
peace, happiness, selfless mutual help, co-operation and good health across
globe. We have to share happiness with all forms of lives on this earth. Every living
creature has equal right to live, be independent, maintain good health, enjoy peace and
feel happy. Success does not only mean achieving material pleasures for ourselves but
also means serving others and helping them in their success and happiness whenever,
wherever and in the way we can contribute for the same. It means transformation
from a selfish attitude to a helpful attitude. It means having a long term vision even
beyond this life i.e. vision for our spiritual development.
The one who is honest, sincere, loving, caring and believes in sharing is the true
representative of Godhead. Such humans are like those flowers that may or may not
have good looks etc. as per the human definition but have a wonderful fragrance that
8
is a pure soul. Such human beings are not only liked by their family members but also
by the society and at their work place as well. They become natural leaders. They are
effective team players. They are long term visionaries. They are spiritually developed
people who spread power of ethics, principles, values, truth, simplicity, team work,
mutual help and co-operation by setting an example through their own good conduct.
They have clarity in their thoughts, speech and actions. They own their psychology
and emotions because they have control over their mind. They understand and analyze
their desires and do not surrender to material pleasures at the cost of peace and
happiness of others.
The way fragrance can be felt by using one of the senses gifted to us i.e. to smell,
similarly the true universal spiritual principles can be learnt with an open mind by
each soul irrespective of any kind of material differentiations.
The flower is taken as a management guru just to represent the relationship between
the soul and the body. Currently we, the souls, are not independent. We are living in a
material form of life. Thus the soul is just represented through fragrance and the body
by flower. However, for flower its soul is not the fragrance itself. All living creatures
have similar invisible soul which has no shape and it can not be touched, tasted, smelt,
seen or heard. Thus the fragrance is just used here to represent the qualities of an
enlightened soul. However the fragrance itself is one of the material aspects of life.
We should try to become a flower with the best fragrance i.e. a self-realized person
who leads the material life in a balanced and detached way by devoting soul to
Godliness i.e. spiritual values. It will help us for spiritual growth in our coming lives.
Let us prove the Theory of Rebirth by keeping each individual soul as a constant:
We know that not only we humans but also other forms of lives Viz. animals, birds,
plants etc. are living. Why the soul takes birth in a particular form of life? Even within
a form of life why someone takes birth with physical disabilities and someone does
not? etc. So by that sense every soul is supposed to visit all permutations and
combinations otherwise it will be justice to few and huge injustice to others. The soul
takes birth in a form of life and then takes rebirth in some other form of life on death
of the former one, which has no beginning as per the Theory of Karma.
The form and characteristics of our each next birth depends on our own actions till
previous lives and so on. It is managed by an automated system of nature. Nature
evaluates our actions during a life and accordingly decides the material pleasures and
pains to be experienced by us in the next birth as per the Theory of Karma which is
based on Theory of Action-Reaction.
This theory of karma is governed by the laws of life by nature. The soul can achieve
freedom from birthdeath-birthcycle on achieving salvation by separating itself
from the pleasures and pains attached to the material forms of lives. It can be termed
as Spiritual Space just like open space around us, where there is no concept of birthdeath
cycle. Thus the soul can win freedom and can protect itself from the pleasures,
pains and formalities attached with material forms of lives, for ever and ever, which
again has no end. On all material planets including the earth, hell and heaven, the life
runs from birth till death.
9
Now once we have discussed the Theory of Rebirth let us get into further details to
understand, Why we cause our rebirth into various material forms?
We have been causing our rebirth till date. Being a human currently proves that we
have not been successful in achieving salvation as yet. The soul and body are
different. When the soul will try to concentrate on its higher development by reducing
its involvement with material body i.e. complete self-realization then it will be able
to detach its existence from material aspects completely. The use of material form of
life includes enjoying material pleasures and also causing material pains, both for our
life and also of others. The bodily involvement can be through thoughts, speech or
actions. Such material involvement can be direct or indirect. Our material desires for
senses gratification creates either material pleasure or pain for us including others.
This process of engagement with material form of life for anything and everything we
think, speak or act; directly or indirectly; also invites future material pleasures or
pains for us i.e. the soul. This adds to our positive or negative karmas balance based
on our actions and intentions behind them. The positive karmas represent our balance
for material pleasures. The negative karmas represent our balance for material pains.
This process gets spread across our various births, into various forms, with different
attributes, on different material planets. It is managed by the theory of karma, based
on our own actions. It is Material Reactions for all our Material Actions.
Many misunderstand that we have to pay back to nature only for the net of positive
and negative karmas. It is illogical and unscientific. We have to pay back to nature for
all our positive and negative karmas separately. Both are independent of each other.
The detachment of soul with material form of life is a complex process. Hence
gradually the developing soul, again at one of the halt as a human being, reaches the
final stage of its development which is known as complete soul enlightenment when
no karmas balance remain to be paid for. Such soul frees itself from rebirth thereafter
and finally enters the spiritual space. Thus to learn, understand and practice this
material detachment process, the form of human being is most effective because this
cycle can stop only at the end of human life, though not necessarily this one itself.
Let us take one example to explain the same: (The Theory of Karma is a much
complex theory and this example does not represent even a drop from the ocean)
Say a soul is currently a human being as Mr. X. Out of the various bodily activities
done by Mr. X one is killing animals / birds etc. This action helped Mr. X for material
pleasures but at the same time it caused material pains for other lives. Thus this is
direct pleasure and pain caused by Mr. X. Now due to such actions of Mr. X other
lives always feel worried for their own life. Thus it also created indirect material pain
for other lives. Hence this entire process voluntarily invited suffering from future
material pains by that soul. However he made some money in this process, say by
selling them. Out of that money he donated some amount for helping poor people.
Donation is one of the best ways to worship Godliness. But he did it with the intention
of generating positive karmas and not in a selfless state of mind then he voluntarily
invited future material pleasures for him in various forms of lives to be lived by that
soul. However if he donates money in a selfless state of mind then it will protect the
soul from enjoyment of additional material pleasures which are finally paid by
suffering pains, but it can not reduce the negative karmas caused by him.
10
Think of Oyster and the first thing which comes to our mind is Pearl.
We all know that the Oyster lives in a shell. When any irritation gets into its shell, the
oyster first tries to take it out. But when it cant, it uses the same irritations to create
one of the most beautiful things in the world. It uses the irritations to do the best thing
it can if given a chance. Yes it makes a Pearl.
So here we have the most important and wonderful message:
Create a pearl every time you face adversities
When faced with problems majority of us tend to complain, crib, disagree, blame and
hold others responsible. We avoid facing problems and doubt our ability to create a
Pearl.
Sometimes when things get really bad we say God, Why me? What have I done?
We feel dejected and feel that God has not been fair to us.
If we look at the Theory of Karma, its only we who are responsible for anything and
everything happening to us and no one else, including God. What we lack is the
sense of owning responsibility for whatever is happening to us. The term God
represents the laws of nature which is based on the theory of Action-Reaction.
Nature plays the Zero Sum Game with all lives. This game is played with each soul
and it is not restricted to our current form of life. It means if we do bad things we are
made to suffer equally and the sum has to be zero. We all have to pay back for
everything we have done and also for things which we will continue to do. This
continues till we do not have any balance left in our karma account with the nature.
If we succeed in closing our karma account then we achieve salvation i.e. freedom of
the soul from dependence on material form of life and entry into spiritual space. This
cycle can finally reach to its end only during the life as a human being i.e. the soul can
win freedom and thus can protect itself from the pleasures and pains attached with
material forms of lives, for ever and ever.
When we succeed in dealing with our stress, issues, troubles, problems then do what
the oyster does i.e. share happiness with others which is represented by the pearl. Do
not think of taking revenge. Revenge is an invitation to repetition of the problems
which we face. Forgiveness is putting an end to the cyclical law of karma of
..Suffer Revenge Re-Suffer Re-Revenge.. so on and on!
Try to close your karma account. Always be at peace. It will put a permanent end to
all your cyclical chain of worries attached to life. When you will learn to deal with
your stress, issues, problems and worries positively and to give back peace, happiness
to out side world in return; you, the soul will get enlightened with the power of
spiritual growth i.e. you will learn to live life in a detached way by devoting your soul
to spiritual developments.
11
Let us prove the Theory of Salvation:
The soul has to run through birth-death-rebirth cycle. We have already
discussed about the Theory of Soul and Theory of Rebirth. During our life we feel
both pleasures and pains. So it proves that the life is not just about pleasures alone. As
discussed in the theory of karma i.e. principle of ActionReaction, the soul has to
experience reactions for all actions carried out by it during various lives.
If we can understand this simple logic then it will be easy for us to understand that to
reduce our karmas, both for pleasures and pains, we will have to follow non-reaction
principle. We have to follow golden principles of Sacrifice, Tolerance and
Forgiveness. We have to live life in a detached way i.e. by devoting our inner self to
spiritual values while managing worldly material commitments. However all these
does not stand for non-action. It represents the response which is solution oriented and
not revenge oriented. It will help us to get positive results more effectively and will
also lead us towards the spiritual growth.
Sacrifice of material pleasures and Forgiveness for material pains help us to reduce
self-invitation of future material pains. We all have charge of defining our own fate
i.e. our future based on our past and current behavior. Thus, when we start
experiencing self-realization, our soul gets more and more enlightened. Then slowly
and gradually the balance of both pleasures and pains start reducing. Thus our balance
of karmas which lead either to material pleasures or pains to be experienced by us, the
souls, into various forms of material lives starts reducing.
When our karma account with nature becomes zero, the soul achieves state of
Omniscience. Finally the door to freedom opens. It ends with that human life where
the soul achieves peak of self-realization and complete enlightenment. On completion
of such human life, where the karmas are cleared and no more pleasures or pains are
invited by that soul, it takes itself to the state of salvation i.e. The soul is then
supposed to be freed as per laws of life by nature.
However to reach to the state of salvation, the soul may require numerous cycles of
birth-death into various forms, with various attributes, on various material planets as
per principle of Action-Reaction. But the entrance to spiritual space is only at the
end of life as a human being, which we all are currently living on this planet earth,
based on the laws of life by nature which empowers human mind to learn and practice
spiritual growth principles with a vision for the freedom of true inner self i.e. the soul.
Thus the human life is very precious and we have to be very careful about the way we
are spending it or else we will have to wait for the next chance to speedup our
spiritual growth, which may again take a very long time if we start walking on the
wrong path. We took birth as a human being which itself proves that our soul has
achieved a lot in its spiritual growth. So let us not waste all our past efforts in various
past births which helped us to again reach to this stage of human life. We have got
limited memory, so we do not remember our past lives. Also we can not foresee our
coming lives. The best proof is that we all do not know that why did we take birth
with specific characteristics / circumstances and why do we die? This process is quite
complex so let us at-least start building a strong foundation from this life to attain
omniscience. Lets invest our life to achieve true success out of our spiritual growth.
12
Lets also prove the Theory of KARMA based on Action Reaction principle,
which helped us to prove the theories of Rebirth and Salvation:
Lets take an example where one murderer had killed a 100 people. We cant go by
the argument that if a person killed one person or 100 people, in both cases the
murderer can be punished with death only once and the score is equal. Obviously
killing hundred is a much bigger sin than killing one person though punishment can
be given only once to the murderer because death cant be repeated hundred times by
human court. Does it sound scientific and logical? Obviously Not. Hence as per the
laws of life by nature that soul is punishable for hundred times separately in various
forms. But we humans have limited power so we cant see and remember the same.
However we can at-least see and understand the world around us consisting of so
many various forms and characteristics of lives which is the proof of natures laws of
life on its own! This is the Theory of Karma.
Let us also note that few have misunderstanding that after our death we all go to
Heaven which means that we, the souls, get separated from life-death cycle on earth
and achieve liberation. This is completely absurd. Achieving salvation is different
from taking birth in heaven. The soul may take birth in various forms at different
material planets Viz. Earth, Hell, Heaven etc. based on the theory of karma till
salvation. The hell represents a planet full of material pains to pay for balance of sin
i.e. negative karmas. Heaven represents a planet full of material pleasures to get paid
for balance of good actions i.e. positive karmas.
At Heaven and Hell we have living creatures which look similar to human form i.e.
with five senses but without reproduction ability. Earth has various forms of lives
starting with creatures having one sense up-to five senses. The senses are in the order
of touch, taste, smell, sight and hearing. In addition to that there may be powers to
think, speak, walk and hold things etc. All these are managed by the automated
system of nature as per the theory of karma. The soul suffers from pains and enjoys
pleasures into various material forms of temporary lives, having various attributes, on
different material planets. However we are not equipped with such high memory to
remember the same.
The earth, heaven and hell; all are material planets having respective temporary
material forms of lives. However for each soul, the door to salvation can open only at
the end of human life on planet earth, on completion of karmas and thus having no
balance of material pleasures or pains to be experienced. The both needs to be paid
separately i.e. the one who causes material pains to other lives does not have any
netting off facility against them by doing positive karmas e.g. A piece of worthless
stone can not be exchanged against precious diamond just based on weight.
Thus, till salvation, we are the only owner of our acts and responsible for everything
happening to us. Its we, who have invited our problems by causing the same for
others, in various lives lived by us. Learn from the past, live in the present and plan
for the future in a way which can benefit all and take us ahead into our spiritual
growth path. Though we may not be able to achieve salvation at the end of this human
life itself, due to the impact of current Kali age; but lets at-least try to reach near to
it and continue our journey on the right path in search of the final destination of
ultimate peace and happiness out of our FREEDOM.

Eagle is one of the best Management Gurus to represent Change.
The ability to deal with change is a must quality for todays global, fast moving and
ever changing environment.
We all must be aware of the wonderful qualities of eagle related to speed, patience
and sharp vision etc. However here we will focus just on one of its best qualities of
change management.
Lets understand the same in brief.
As per studies, eagle has an average life expectancy of around 60 years. However
when it reaches around 30 years of age, its beak and wings get weaker not allowing
eagle to fly and catch food efficiently.
So the eagle breaks its own beak, which then takes around a month to grow it again.
Then with the new healthier beak the eagle takes off all its wings, which again takes a
time period of another month to grow them again. Thus the eagle voluntarily invites
temporary pain and sacrifices for a better tomorrow! The eagle is ready again to fly
and catch food with the same energy and speed.
What a great learning!
I feel no example can be better than this one to represent the Change Management.
Like eagle we should also be alert and ready to accept the fact that to adjust with ever
changing environment; our knowledge, skills and abilities need to be upgraded and
enhanced continuously.
It can be addition of diverse skills or even replacement / addition into our area of
specialization. As far as addition of diverse skills is concerned, by referring to the
concept of Specialization we may be able to deal with it to some extent. In-fact in
todays competitive world its also essential to specialize or else we will be best suited
example for the saying Jack of all trades but Master of none.
However when its a replacement case or additions for our own area of specialization
and if we still ignore / delay it then be sure that we will be thrown out of the scene and
our survival will be at stake.

Age should not be an excuse to avoid change. Age should never stop us from
learning. When we say I am old, its the body and not we. We are the independent
souls, who are currently living a human life. Its our responsibility to ensure that we
take care of all the required aspects to manage the existence of our soul within a form
of temporary material life.
14
It may require registering for some new learning process. To deal with change alongwith
our other day to day commitments, we may need to take a short break from our
routine e.g. we may have to put-in few extra hours for a few days, attend training
courses on few weekends etc. Also keep habit of reading newspapers and other
meaningful knowledge oriented magazines, books, TV shows etc.
In addition to our personal and professional life, we should also try to be active in
social life. We should also never forget to concentrate on our spiritual development. It
will help us to explore the strengths of our subconscious mind. It will also help us to
learn from our instincts and gut feelings. Finally it will take us ahead into our spiritual
growth which will truly benefit us even beyond this form of life.
Always share knowledge, I bet you that your knowledge level will grow at a much
faster rate than those who do not share it. Be open to get into different areas, learn
new skills, learn multi-tasking and develop cross-functional abilities. Specialize in
few areas but never be completely blind in other areas. Learn at-least the basic
fundamentals so that no one can take you for granted and world will be true, clear,
specific and careful while dealing with you. You will enjoy high level of confidence
and will get more respect and recognition.
The only constant is change
Lets get into further details of above saying and try to learn the laws of life through
the same.
When we say change is the only constant, it means that change has no ending. This
concept is similar to Time and Open Space i.e. Sky which has no end. It is
scientific and logical that when a fact exists by its nature which does not have any
end, then it should not have any beginning as well.
Thus the very basic meaning behind the term change indicates pre-existence of
something which changes and the process continues forever.
The soul is also eternal which neither has a start nor any end. Its also important to
understand that the theory of soul is independent of the theory of change. The theory
of change is applicable to material aspects only. The soul of each living creature is
similar. Each individual soul is constant. It is an invisible living energy. What changes
is its material form of life, in various journeys, on various material planets; until it
achieves salvation.
This process of change is nothing else but the theory of karma. Each individual soul
can escape this process of change of material forms by achieving salvation.
When we refer to the sayings such as The only constant is change, we feel its an
awesome management philosophy. However when it comes to applying the same
principle to laws of life then we contradict to our own statement.
We humans invest so much of our time, energy and money to find out the beginning
of life. We have developed various theories for the same. They have got so much
popularity that they are even included into our school curriculum across the globe.
15
Lets try to understand few of them in brief:
1. The Big-Bang Theory:
This explains that earth and life on it started on bang of few planets in the space.
But does it mean that there was no life before that? Also what is the beginning of
those planets which banged with each other? How did they have existence at first?
2. Theory of Human Evolution from Monkey:
This explains that human is evolution from monkey.
But then why we still have monkeys? Does it mean that only few monkeys opted to
become humans? Why this evolution stopped? Does it mean that after few became
humans then monkeys and humans agreed to separate and continue with their
societies separately?
3. The Theory of God:
This theory explains that God created the world and various lives including other
material planets like hell and heaven. However as discussed earlier also, How God
came into existence at first?
Also, What is the reason of creating various temporary material forms of lives,
material pleasures and pains? Was there only one God or were they many? Why do
we have so many different Gods based on different religious beliefs? Did they all
create various planets and lives together? If God(s) have created us then why we have
various Gods who were human beings and then got declared as God by other humans
and so on.(The Theory of God is explained with much details in the first chapter)
Anyways, since we all are already here let us not spend our time in proving who is
correct and who is wrong. Let us unite and invest our time and energy to find out the
permanent solution to our problems and worries associated with the material pleasures
and pains.
If we will try to understand the eternal laws of life governed by nature with an open
mind, as discussed earlier in this book, based on following;
Theory of Soul,
Theory of Rebirth,
Theory of Salvation,
Theory of Karma, which is based on the principle of Action-Reaction,
then it will help us to gain the true Spiritual Knowledge which will result in true wellbeing
of each form of living creature across universe. It will give us the right vision to
move ahead into the path of spiritual development by managing our material goals in
a detached way and devoting our soul to Godliness.

The management learning based on the Ant Philosophy related to Hard Work,
Commitment to Win, Communication and Team Effectiveness must be known to us.
Lets try to get into the further depth of management principles displayed by Ants
which are very much important in todays global economy and society, full of showoff
and demonstration effect, which is developing at an enormous speed!
The best lessons which are taught by the ants are:
Earn First. Spend Later.
Invest First. Consume Later.
Simplicity is the most precious asset that one should own.
Lets discuss the same.
Ants know that during rainy days they will not be able to go out of their homes for
getting food because their body is delicate and so they can die in heavy rains. They
also understand the fact that to live during rainy days, they will have to plan in
advance or they will again die of hunger.
Hence they collect and store the food at their home which they can use during rainy
season. Thus ants do hard work and invest their time and energy in collecting food, in
a team. They communicate the location of the food to each other through touch. They
create a long chain to carry and pass on the food till home.
As per the principles of Economy we all need MONEY to live. Ants, though being
such small creatures; are so intelligent! They first invest for future. Thus we should
also invest for future. Here the investment does not mean only the investment of
money into financial instruments but it also includes investment of our time, energy
and money for managing and improving knowledge, health and relationships.
As the time passes by we all become older and weak. We may even retire at some
point of time. Hence we should plan for our retirement from the very beginning by
way of sound investments. As per the social values of mutual help and co-operation,
children should ideally live with their parents and look after them when they get
older. But at the same time it is not advisable for the parents to depend on their kids
for financial safety and security as they grow older. Hence we should at least try to be
financially independent and self reliant to the maximum extent possible, though we
trust our children as a reliable source of love and help when we need them.
Youth is full of energy. I mean physical energy; mental energy has hardly anything to
do with the age factor. So lets be practical as far as the physical energy is concerned,
and utilize our time and energy in investing for our future while we are still young. It
17
can also help us to retire early or at least attain higher flexibility where we can make a
contribution to society by investing more time, energy and money into social services.
We can also spare more time for higher spiritual development. It remains just a dream
for many of us which we think we will do in the later years of life. But many amongst
us never reach that point of time in our entire span of life.
Out of many investment opportunities, long term investments into Gold, Shares and
Properties are the best ones. Let our saved money earn for us in future rather than we
paying interest from our own hard earned money! Also invest good enough amount in
Insurance Plans for Health, Life and for other assets like House, Car etc.
Always follow the three golden principles taught by Ants, as stated above, they will
help us to become rich and self-reliant at a much faster rate and also at an early age
that will protect us from financial stress.
However please note that I do not mean that the credit economy should not exist at
all. Say for example there can be a situation where in an economy we have investment
opportunities that fetch us higher rate of returns as compared to the rate of interest on
loans to buy long term assets. Here one may choose to invest available funds and buy
the asset on credit OR borrow the money and invest it to obtain the net higher returns.
Thus the balance of, Return on Investments (ROI) LESS Interest Payments on loans
result in net positive gain. This needs proper knowledge, planning and calculated risk
taking abilities.
Also there may be some unavoidable need for running or growing the business,
education, personal use etc. where we might not have enough funds to invest. So in
such cases one may have no other option but to choose credit. Thus in such cases it
actually helps. Always analyze the risks associated with the borrowing of funds and
investments along-with necessity. As far as possible, take only calculated risks.
We should also try to ensure that at any point of time our Net Worth should be
positive i.e. if we deduct our liabilities / payables from our assets then it should give
us a positive net surplus which we call as Net Worth / Capital + Reserves. This is the
best way to live a financially secured and independent life. Life is full of
uncertainties. Sudden health problems or death of earning members of family may
cause huge financial worries for the family. The same way sudden change in laws by
government, competition, environment, fashion, technology etc. may result in failure
of business venture.
One should not be blind in making purchase decisions just for senses gratification.
Keep control over material desires. Divide desires into Necessities, Comforts and
Luxuries and accordingly decide the priorities in life. Do not get influenced by the
demonstration effect. Do not get carried away by petty emotions like jealousy or ego.
We all must have seen cases where one spends more than the earning capacity and
ends up as insolvent leading to credit default. This is not only harmful to the
individuals but also to the economy as a whole.
Believe in simplicity. Believe in financial freedom. This will not only help us to
grow financially but also will take us ahead towards our spiritual growth. Lets be a
smart Investor and not a spendthrift Borrower!
18
Trees have so many management principles to be shared with us. It can help us at any
stage and in each area of our life.
They teach us to believe in Vision and Planning to achieve the same. It also teaches us
Patience, Strategic Growth and Selfless Service. Lets discuss the same.
All huge trees begin their lives as a small seed initially and then they grow in stages.
Even in our lives, for any role played by us related to our personal, professional,
social and spiritual development, almost everything starts small and has its own time
gap before we achieve real success e.g. In case of a Mango tree, the tree takes more
than a decade to start producing mangoes, if not developed faster artificially.
The higher a tree grows; the more it needs to spread its roots deeper. Here the growth
of tree represents our growth in various areas of life and the roots represents our
knowledge, hard work, skills, dedication, sincerity, patience, genuineness, relations,
contacts, network, commitment to win, positive attitude and over all management of
our time, energy and money in a productive way etc. Thus in order to grow as an
individual, family or an organization we need to spread our roots deeply and firmly.
Apart from growing higher, the trees also spread across branches. It represents that we
should also try to spread across various dimensions of life and strike a balance
between the personal, professional, social and spiritual areas of our lives. Also, within
the sphere of life try to diversify further i.e. to be open to take up new assignments,
play various roles, develop diverse skills and acquire varied knowledge. It will help us
to grow from execution level to management level and from there to leadership, in
each aspect of life.
During this process we gradually achieve various things e.g. promotion at workplace,
recognition in social initiatives etc. along-with our spiritual growth by way of selfcontrol
and self-discipline to manage our thoughts, speech and actions in a better way.
The fruits given by the tree represent the responsibility of each individual to give back
the benefits of his / her achievements back to the world at large. We are all born to
serve others. We should fulfill our responsibilities in a selfless state of mind.
Never forget that for spiritual growth we need to learn to be detached from material
aspects of life. We have to conquer our mind to control our ego, anger and desires.
Always be ready to give more than what we expect from others.
Money is one of the parameters based on which the material life is managed. Never
become greedy. Greed will attach our soul to material pleasures and we may indulge
ourselves into unethical means for short term material success which will invite
material pains to be suffered by us in the long run. It will cause a bad impact on
various journeys yet to be started by us, including the current one as a human being.
19
Remember that our life is limited. The fact that everyone gets older and dies one day
applies to our own life as well. So never surrender yourself to the trap of materialistic
comparison or competition. Compete with your inner self to achieve spiritual goals by
spreading happiness across globe for all forms of lives.
We have to fulfill our duties by spreading love, peace, good health and happiness all
over the world. Always keep in mind that our soul should be devoted just to Godhead
i.e. spiritual values for its true spiritual growth and success.
Golden principles to be followed:
Expect someone to pay us Money only when we rightfully deserve the same
for the right cause, at the right time.
Pay Money when we are supposed to pay, for the right cause, to the rightful
owner, at the right time.

Believe in serving others in various capacities in a selfless state of mind.
Always try to give more than what we expect from others.
20
I wish I could be a human chameleon!
What other statement could have been best fit to explain the power of one of the best
management principles followed by chameleon? What is that? As we all know that
chameleon has got a natural ability to change colors, which help it for self-protection,
hiding from target food, communication and also display of physical and
psychological condition etc. We all should learn to be human chameleon i.e. try
adjusting to people, environment / surrounding; while thinking, communicating and
taking decisions; by controlling and managing our internal environment i.e. our
emotions and psychology. Be owner of your own Mind, the final ruler of body.
Following are our few of the most weak emotions and psychological sickness:
Many feel that they are ALWAYS correct and others are not blessed by
God and so they are not lucky or wise enough to understand and agree to
them.
Many ALWAYS expect others to change as per their views, opinion,
beliefs etc.
Many are HARDLY EVER open to learn and understand others view,
opinion; especially when it is opposite to their view, opinion etc.
People vary in their age, family background, upbringing, friends circle, education,
work experience, emotions, psychology, habits, hobbies, desires, likes, dislikes,
communication skills, presentation skills, opinions, views, beliefs, expectations,
mannerism, behavior, culture, caste, religion, nationality etc.
In short people vary in anything and everything they do. People vary in the way they
think, speak or act based on various factors; whether in the capacity of a family
member, office colleague or as a member of society etc. Hence in all areas of life, at
any stage, many a times, we all face difficulty to deal with and adjust to other people
and our surroundings.
However if we want to be a good team player and lead effectively without making it
obvious that we are in lead; in personal, professional as well as social front; then we
will have to learn to adjust to people, environment and our surroundings. The only
problem is that we surrender our thinking, communication and decision making
process to our emotional sickness of ego, anger, fear, jealousy, over-confidence etc.
Any decision, driven by such emotions, result in problems for everyone.
We should try to listen more and talk less. Also when we are listening to others, try to
understand it from their point of view, as if we have to represent them to someone
else. We should be smart and diplomatic in dealing with people; but always remember
21
that we should never misguide, misrepresent or cheat others by dramatizing our false
appearance to them. Our soul should never feel guilty of what we think, say and do
i.e. being diplomat for benefit of all is different from being selfish and to look for our
personal benefit at the cost of others happiness.
A person with high level of spiritual intelligence will always be a true human being at
his/her heart i.e. conscience, and he/she knows that he/she has to change colors as per
the environment, rather than expecting environment to change for them, to ensure that
all are benefited out of their power of positive, constructive and value adding
thoughts, speech and actions.
Think, talk and take decisions which are rational and meaningful that can add true
value for ensuring success, peace, happiness and good health for world at large, for all
forms of lives.
Do not change colors which are influenced just by the attitude of comparison,
competition, excitement, revenge, material show-off, to humiliate others, to make
personal benefit at the cost of others peace, health, success and happiness etc.
If we build a selfish and short term vision for our current form of life, then we may
grow and develop materially to a great extent in this life but it can not add to the true
success and development for us, from a long term perspective, spread even beyond
our current form of life as a human being.
All these are possible only when we can work smart and change colors like
chameleon to suit to the environment while dealing with people and circumstances.
As per studies, Chameleon hardly takes 20 seconds to change its color; we should try
not to take even one!
We should never attach high importance to all these external material factors because
internally we all are an individual eternal soul, an invisible living energy having no
shape, which can not be touched, tasted, smelt, seen or heard, which is currently
spending its time in a particular material and temporary form of human life. One who
can understand the difference between eternal spiritual goals and temporary material
goals can plan and manage the balance between them, which in-fact helps to live a life
full of true peace, happiness and success.
Spiritual goals are much more valuable, which stay long term say even permanent
rather than focusing just on short term materialistic goals. The soul has to change the
material forms of lives in various birth-death journeys, on various material planets
until it achieves independence. For such a flexible soul, changing as per the
environment to suit to it and lead a meaningful life in its current form of human being
should not be a difficult task to perform!
The one who can be an effective team player and also the best leader is the one who
can easily adjust and mix with other people and outside environment and
surroundings. They are true winners. They are precious assets who can serve all forms
of lives across the world at large, while ensuring their own spiritual growth.
22
Snake, a representative of power of image!
It is a wonderful management guru. It represents being outward, outspoken, confident,
responsive, active, alert, energetic, powerful, presentable etc.
Lets analyze the same.
Why do we feel scared of snakes? The reason is they are poisonous and may bite us.
They always frown and also hiss. We are actually sacred of the scary image they
create.
However it is said that the majority of snakes are non-poisonous. In majority cases,
say even more than 75% of them, the death out of snake bites are not because of the
poison but it is just because of the shock and fear attack we experience when a snake
bites.
See the power of IMAGE! Almost every snake, whether poisonous or not, always
frowns and hisses to maintain its scary image. Just try to analyze a situation where
snakes stop frowning and hissing, I am sure that it will loose its scary image; though,
we will continue to be careful because we know that some of them are poisonous.
The act of frowning and hissing represents the power of good image, transparent
communication, clear presentation, taking initiatives, being participative, getting
along with people easily, being extrovert etc.
Almost every snake, whether poisonous or not, always frowns and hisses. We all need
to be like a snake i.e. never under-estimate yourself and never feel inferior to others.
Be a leader of positive thoughts, speech and actions. Present your ides with courage.
Be confident about your abilities and build guts to go for an extra mile. People will
know, accept and recognize you only if you appear before them and give them a
chance to do so. Let them benefit out of your abilities. Thus it will help everyone for
mutual benefit and success which is a Win Win situation!

The reason we feel low, nervous, dull, anxious, less-confident, inferior is our habit of
always comparing our abilities, skills, knowledge with other people. We more often
react rather than responding in any situation. Try to learn from others but do not
compare yourself with them. Try to improve but not with the intention of competing
with others. We always perceive others reaction in a negative way.
The concept of Comparison and Competition is not completely absurd; but if we
want to compare / compete ourselves with any given benchmark then let it be our own
self. Why to restrict ourselves to others by comparing / competing with them? Always
compare your own past with your present and check whether you have improved or
not to make yourself a better human being than what you were before and so onIt
will add to your confidence. Do not hide your potential. Take initiatives, stand out,
23
face people, face the world, speak out, present your views, give suggestions, gain
huge knowledge and develop non-technical soft / behavioral skills along with gaining
formal technical education. Be a social animal and take part in social events to the
maximum extent possible. Be a part of the brainstorming process everywhere. Build a
habit of introspection to develop your self.
We all are individual souls who have no differentiation other than its current form of
material life, until it achieves freedom. Do not give importance only to how well you
look, speak or present your self in front of others. Many attributes of life are simply
inborn and many other factors continue to be ruled by the laws of life as defined by
nature throughout the life. We shall always try to improve but never stop or wait
unless you have improved because improvement is an ongoing and never ending
process.
Remember that what fetches you respect, recognition, peace of mind, satisfaction,
happiness and spiritual growth along-with money includes your values, ethics,
principles, honesty, sincerity, commitment, positive attitude, constructive thoughts /
speech / actions etc. Add positive value to your personal, professional, social life to
add value to others. Also ensure your spiritual development for achieving success in
its true sense and share its benefits with others.
24
We all know that different rivers, coming from different routes, finally get merged
into the ocean. The river faces many hurdles in its journey but does not stop its flow
instead it learns to turn and twist along the rocks i.e. it struggles and faces many
obstacles and hurdles to reach its final destination.
Our life also flows like a river. We, the souls, start a new journey by way of a new
birth on death of the previous form of life and pass through the process of living the
current form of life.
In our case, as a human being, we also pass through our journey which mainly
includes education, career, marriage, kids and retirement; then again the same life
cycle for that kid and so onHowever the life is not straight for any individual. We
all have to face and experience many difficulties and stress in our journey and the real
test is to handle the same as a team without cribbing and complaining.
As I said earlier, we should take the ownership and responsibility of everything
caused and experienced by us. As per the theory of karma, its the Cause and Effect
Relationship on which our path is pre-designed. We, the souls, are the one that is the
cause and the effect is the material pleasures and pains experienced by us during
our various forms of material lives. If we cause good actions by following spiritual
principles then the re-actions i.e. effect will help us in our spiritual growth in all
coming lives which will finally lead us to liberation.
If we try to analyze our hurdles in depth then we will come to know that they are
invited by our own selfish and narrow vision based on materialistic, selfish and
desires driven approach in life.
Personal / Family Life:
In our personal dimension of life e.g. relations with family members, relatives, friends
etc. the main issues which we face are lack of trust between people, splitting up of
families, divorce etc. Why does all this happen? What is our contribution in its
occurrence and resolution? We all are humans and if we fail to achieve peace of mind
and happiness in our lives then our life itself is a failure and then no materialistic
achievement or what so ever is of any relevance.
Professional Life:
At professional front, too much importance to comparison and competition leads to
jealousy, fear for loss of power/authority/recognition. This weakens the team spirit
and the principle of collective growth. Also due to our never ending material desires
the cases of compliance defaults, financial frauds, sexual harassments etc. have
increased than before. We should believe in mutual help and co-operation. Give
priority to team benefits rather than personal gains by sharing knowledge and
opportunities. Each relationship is a non-depreciable asset. The first interaction with
anyone is an opportunity to develop a new life-long relationship. No one can grow
25
alone. Always look for opportunities to serve others in a selfless state of mind, it will
help us more than what we would have expected otherwise!
Social Life:
In social dimension i.e. say all areas which fall under the manmade artificial
structures of Economy, Society, Religion, Caste, Country, Government, Law etc. we
face various problems like huge population, excessive pollution, waste products,
global warming, shortage of natural resources, wars, terrorisms, inequality on the
basis of religion/caste/color/social or financial status, corruption, frauds, theft,
scandals, rape, kidnapping, accidents and all such social, economical, environmental
and other issues. These are caused and also supported by humans themselves. So are
we the ones who are facing it or causing it?
Spiritual Life:
The soul of each living creature including human being is similar. Soul is the actual
living energy. We all have different form of life with different attributes. We, the
souls also keep changing the material forms of lives until we achieve salvation. Thus
more important is the spiritual growth to get permanent solution to all our hurdles.
However we all get separated on the basis of different caste, God, temples, religious
beliefs, religious festivals, religious books etc. If you want to achieve true selfrealization
then concentrate on your inner self, the soul. We should unite and invest
our precious time for everyones spiritual growth and should not get misguided by
manmade difference of opinions based on religion, caste etc.
Remember that the Nature itself is final ruler. We all are a part of it. The laws of life
are governed by nature, an infinite and automated life management system. Try to
manage the life on earth in a way which can ensure peace, happiness and good health
for all. We can not blame nature for causing natural calamities because it is
responsibility of the nature to react in a correct way to our wrong actions.
Many of the hurdles are self-built by not controlling the mind and surrendering it to
the material desires. We should try to own our psychology. We should not get
influenced by the outside artificial material environment. We should not think of just
ourselves and what we are in this life.
We feel fear and insecurity because of all these hurdles present in our lives which are
created by ourselves for our own harassment and no one else. What do we do to deal
with our fear and insecurity? We simply create the same for others. It creates a chain
reaction where everyone gets trapped into the feeling of fear and insecurity. We all
keep struggling for happiness. But the reason why we fail to feel it is because we do
not know the basic fact that we always tried to own it and never shared it.
Lets have a broad and long term vision for life. We have to ensure that earth survives
and continues to be the best place to live forever. It will benefit our own self during
the journey of our soul in various forms with different characteristics.
Thus river represents our soul. The ocean i.e. the final destination of each river;
represents the final goal of liberation of soul. Nature which is an automated system
26
has already defined the principles on which the cycle of birthdeath-birthof soul
takes place in various forms and characteristics unless the soul succeeds in achieving
Salvation / Moksha / Nirvana. So now its upon us to decide whether we want to
make our life meaningful or destroy it by getting into wrong directions. Lets make it
a joint and collective effort. We all have to get together to bring collective change in
the way we all think, talk and act. We all should jointly have a long-term vision,
which goes even beyond this current form of our life. Remember that we all are social
animals and thus its only caring and sharing which will help us to grow collectively.
If we become narrow minded and get stuck with our short term vision by becoming
selfish then we are putting ourselves into trouble because every action has got an
equal and opposite reaction i.e. we will invite new hurdles in the path of our own
spiritual growth, in our coming lives including this one.
We should maintain the balance between Materialistic and Spiritual goals in life. The
biggest power is simplicity, truth, non-violence and peace. Lets be owner of our
emotions and psychology to enjoy freedom from the trap of ego, anger, fear and
desires. Lets do our duties in a selfless state of mind. The biggest satisfaction comes
in helping others. These qualities will help us to be at peace and feel satisfied which
will keep us happy in any situation.
Power brings Responsibility.

Slow and Steady Wins the Race is the first thing, which comes to our mind when we
think about tortoise from the story of race between rabbit and tortoise where tortoise
wins the race. Lets now discuss some important life management principles by
indirectly referring it to the structure of a tortoise. Tortoise is protected by a hard
shell. Here the tortoise represents our soul and the shell represents our body. Like
tortoise, we are also covered by our current body. Thus body is a shell for the
dependent soul.
What is the purpose of the shell? To protect whatever it covers. Thus our body is the
machinery and the soul is the driving force for the body, say like electricity which is
used to run machines. It is our responsibility to ensure proper maintenance of our
body so that it can protect the soul which is residing within the body and also help the
soul to grow further towards spiritual space.
First of all, the maintenance of body starts with management of thoughts, speech and
actions. We can manage our thoughts, speech and actions by having a control over our
emotions, psychology and desires. This can be ensured by controlling our five senses
Viz. touch, taste smell, sight and hearing. We also have other powers like to think, to
speak, to walk, to hold things etc. All these are controlled and managed by the Mind /
Brain. Thus we can say that the soul is linked to body through Mind / Brain power.
Always ensure that we think, speak and do value adding things to add meaning to our
existence. Define right objectives and purpose to live. Stick to truth, non-violence,
ethics, good values and principles. Keep a check on ego, anger, fear and desires.
Believe in simplicity. Serve / Help / Protect others. Attain selflessness. Promote
mutual help and co-operation. Strike a balance between personal, social, professional
and spiritual goals. Be honest. Respect others irrespective of their status, age, gender
or even form i.e. also respect other non-human creatures.
As far as possible, never commit any sin. A sin is doing something which can cause
harm to peace, happiness and health to any form of living beings / creatures including
ourselves, in any way which includes physical as well as mental / emotional harm. It
can be done directly or indirectly.
The sin can be done mainly in following ways:
Direct:
Deeds / Actions through Thoughts and/or Speech and/or Physical Actions
Indirect:
by asking others to commit sin
by supporting others in committing a sin
by allowing others to commit sin
All these indirect support can be by way of thoughts, speech and physical actions.
28
Apart from carrying the soul the shell represents the health of the body as well.
It includes mental as well as physical health. It is not only a great pleasure but also a
huge responsibility to maintain good health. Health is the biggest Wealth.
To start with mental health, it is more important because a bad mental health directly
affects the physical health of a person. Mental weakness includes feeling of fear,
stress, depression, anger, ego, jealousy, revenge, suspiciousness, bad desires etc. The
best three natural medications to maintain mental health is Meditation, Breathing
exercises and Yoga. Listening to music also helps to reduce stress and increase
concentration etc. All these medications not only help to have a sound mental health
but also help to have a sound physical health.
For maintaining physical health we should exercise regularly including walk. It also
includes Dancing, Swimming and playing Sports etc. Also learn self protection /
defense techniques like Martial Arts etc. Remember that just having a good physical
built is different from being healthy, strong and brave!
Try to control bad habits / desires which have a negative effect on our health. Instruct
your mind by concentrating on your inner self and simply take oath / resolution to
stop / reduce such habits / desires. Always keep a check on your conscience.
Be specific in defining the daily routine including eating, sleeping habits etc. like:
Food including water:
Do not attach high importance to taste or demonstration effect and choose
your food only on the basis of hygiene.
Always have heavy morning breakfast; after exercise. Many rush for
office, school, college etc. without doing exercise, taking a proper
breakfast or reading newspaper etc. The issue is not with timings of our
office, school etc. but it is how early we rise from our bed in the morning.
For that we need to keep a check on the time when we go to bed. For that
we need to manage our daily routine. Set-up your priorities and
accordingly define your daily schedule.
If possible have minimum four meals a day, starting with heavy breakfast,
then the other three meals at a gap of minimum around 3 hours each,
reducing the calories intake in every meal. Never hurry up and chew your
food properly.
Never eat too much in a single meal. Never over fill your stomach. Try and
spread the food intake over more intervals. If possible then do fasting as
well sometimes which is skipping a meal to rest your stomach.
If possible, relax in a sleeping posture for around 10-15 minutes on your
left side to facilitate your digestion to avoid after lunch laziness.
Keep a gap between your last meal at night and the time you go to sleep.
Minimum of 3 hours gap ensures sound sleep at night. Go for a short walk
after dinner, if possible with your family members and also other friends.
Around 75 % of our body is water! Hence drink plenty of water, at-least 810 glasses per day. If do not feel thirsty so often then drink it as a medicine
29
and for an easy reminder fill 3 bottles of water and make sure you have
emptied it at the end of the day.
Do not drink water just before or immediately after the meal. Having water
during your meals in a small quantity is fine. If possible always drink
boiled water or at-least filtered water.
Sleep:
Sleeping as early as possible, but not later than 12 o clock in the night.
Keep habit of watching news channel for daily updates and also reading
useful books before going to sleep.
Sleep adequately, may be in the range of minimum 4 - 6 hours, maximum
up to 8 hours in a complete date i.e. a period of 24 hours.
Some may choose, afford and like to sleep in intervals / breaks; say also
during drive (I assume that the chauffer is driving the car) even then its
fine. It is a subjective matter.
As a social animal, we all are a part of the Society structure. Thus the next priority is
building and managing relations, contacts, networks with people. It includes family,
society and work place. We all are here to serve others in one or the other way. We
are here to help and co-operate with others for mutual interest and benefit. We can not
be just intelligent in dealing with people; we also need to be emotional. To strike a
balance between so called being practical and being emotional we need to develop
our spiritual intelligence which helps us, i.e. our soul, to remain detached with the
outside material world and continue our duties in a balanced way, keeping our soul
devoted to Godliness.
The principles of Economy are applicable to all forms of lives. The basic principle
of economy is Demand and Supply i.e. Give and Take Relationship. It means to
meet the demand we need to supply i.e. to meet our demands we should supply first
i.e. to earn money to manage our material life we need knowledge, skills and abilities
to serve to the outside world. This includes taking formal education, gaining useful
knowledge/skills through various means e.g. news papers, news magazines,
television, trainings, books, practice etc. Stick to high quality of supply and service to
deserve the right compensation.
As a family member, student, professional, citizen etc. and finally as a human being
we also have to respect and follow various rules, regulations, policies, procedures,
processes etc. e.g. As a corporate employee we have policies and processes to be
followed. As a citizen we have rules and regulations as defined by Government and
Law. As a member of family and society we have cultural and social values to be
followed. Never look at a value system as an obligation. Take them positively as a
measure to ensure smooth management of various areas of life. However we should
also not follow them blindly without understanding their essence. If we have an
opinion to be raised against them which will benefit everyone then be courageous to
protest against it and try to get it changed. However always maintain peace and nonviolence.
Build a team and take it up formally.
Finally the most important aspect is investing our time and energy in our spiritual
development as well, while managing other worldly commitments.

Here we have the king of jungle. The Lion!
However before we start to learn a management lesson from the jungle king lets first
try and understand how the lion got elected as the king of jungle? It can not be that
other creatures living in jungle chose lion as their king through election, regulation
etc. Its we intelligent humans who exercise our super powers to rule everything that
is created, owned and managed by nature.
Anyways, since lion is already accepted as the jungle king on majority basis lets
learn the best of the best management lesson from him.
As per studies, it is known to us that normally the lioness goes for food hunting and
not the lion. This means that though the lion, the king of jungle is a man; he does
not have any Male Ego. He does not find it wrong to rely on lioness, the woman
to get the food.
This teaches us that the concept of Its a Mans World followed by FEW men and
the frequently used term of Male Ego represents the psychological weakness of
humans, here the Male class. Though all men do not have a problem of Male Ego
but even if a single man has it then it shows his immaturity and indiscipline and an
open door to the room of improvement for us as a team.
It is also true that at no point of time we can have a theory proving that Man =
Woman; in-fact nature itself has defined so many psychological and physical
differences in a man and a woman and they will always exist to run the life on earth as
per the laws of life defined by nature.
To differentiate, also based on studies, we all agree that on majority basis the men
have higher physical power. But when it comes to emotional / psychological power
then women are stronger! The best example of this is that a woman can easily cry and
express her emotions / feelings but a man finds it difficult to cry. What does this
mean? This means that woman is emotionally stronger because only the emotionally
brave individual can cry openly! Many misinterpret it as if men are more powerful
because they can hide their emotion to cry.
The lion teaches us to believe in equality among man and woman and to do away with
the Male Ego. Few men ignore the abilities of woman. We should never form any
opinion about the opposite person just based on gender. To be intelligent, matured,
rational, and to have an earning capability has nothing to do with a man / woman
differentiation.
A man may face a situation where his mother / sister / wife or any other woman; may
be at home or at office or even in society; is earning more money, is more educated, is
more famous, is having more contacts / friends / network etc. than himself or other
31
men. In such a situation if the man is matured enough then he will never bring ego
issues in between his relationship with that particular woman. We should take
decisions based on Win-Win criteria and not based on Man Vs. Woman criteria.
Lets discuss one simple example to prove that Male Ego exists:
Say there is an advertisement coming on the T.V. of any jeweler. They took the
relationship between husband and wife as the theme of their advertisement then what
may be the scene? Probably we will see that a husband is giving a surprise jewelry
gift to his wife, may be on her birthday or their marriage anniversary and then the
wife gets so emotional that the tears of happiness spread across her eyes.
Now just try to imagine a reverse situation, where lets assume that the woman of the
family is also earning member, may be higher than man. She can afford to gift a
costly jewelry / car etc. to her husband. Can we still expect the same kind of
emotional response from a husband where the wife is asking her husband to close his
eyes and when he opens his eyes, he sees a costly jewelry or say key of a new car
which his wife wants to gift to him and so he starts crying out of happiness!
To a few matured men there is nothing wrong in that and they can think of such a
situation. However majority of men will find it difficult to imagine such a scene.
Thus the emotions and psychology of man and woman differ a lot. Lets discuss this
further.
As per the studies it is observed that the brain has mainly two parts, Right and Left.
Men think more from the left brain which is theoretical / practical way of thinking
where as woman think more from the right brain which is more emotional and
spiritual way of thinking. May be because of that even a strong woman may seek
protection from man, both emotional and physical. In general, as per studies, it is
believed that for a man physical satisfaction matters more than his emotional
satisfaction whereas for a woman emotional satisfaction matters more than the
physical satisfaction. That can be one of the reasons why we generally see women
models in advertisements, especially in posters for display of various products.
Lets discuss it further.
Human brain has mainly three quotients; IQ (Intelligent Quotient), EQ (Emotional
Quotient) and SQ (Spiritual Quotient).
From the studies it is analyzed that:
Man uses more of IQ along-with EQ and SQ.
Woman uses more of EQ and SQ along-with IQ.
May be that is the reason why majority have the opinion that woman have more selfdiscipline
and self-control. Lets take an example of sexual harassment where we
mainly have cases of woman being harassed by man. Also in various society
structures across the globe, we can observe that the social freedom enjoyed by man is
higher than woman, which includes education, work life etc.
32
Lets also take the fundamental example of marriage, as applicable to almost every
society, which defines that the woman should leave her parental home and start living
with the man. Also, as a matter of majority, a man would like to marry a woman who
is smaller in height and also age to him. The idea behind lesser age of woman may
represent their higher developed EQ; whereby it seems that it is assumed / observed
that woman gains mental maturity at relatively lesser age than man!
I do not mean that all social principles are wrong and we should stop or change all of
them. In-fact many social principles are required to manage the life which ensures
team work as per defined society structure. What I mean is that we should not be
unjustifiable, biased and rigid in our views. There should always be a room for
genuine flexibility, improvement and change which may help to spread equality and
justice to all. Social developments should not be considered as an offence when they
do not harm anyone; in any manner, rather they may improve the quality of life for
everyone.
To explain this in the other way that we still have the concept of Mans World, just
look at various laws and regulations, institution, social clubs, policies in corporate etc.
which is to ensure gender neutrality including protection of women from sexual
harassment etc. They mainly aim at protecting rights of woman; to provide them
personal, professional and social security and equality. Thus no one can deny the
presence of the Male Ego problem, though all men are not the same.
Also it is not that only woman can be victim of harassment by man, in-fact it may be
reverse also. We may also come across examples where a woman harasses a man.
Women may also misuse their powers under the shelter of legal system or social
environment to harass innocent men for personal benefit etc. However over here we
are emphasizing on the issue of Male Ego on the basis of majority view based on
past experiences and also current surroundings across the globe.
Remember that we all are individual souls, which is neither man nor woman; which
can not be touched, tasted, smelt, seen or heard. We, the invisible soul, are eternal
living energy. Its the temporary body which is in the form of a man or woman. If one
wants to achieve self-realization then first thing he/she needs to do is to understand
his/her real self i.e. the inner soul. Let it be home, office or some social club, we
should never differentiate others just on the basis of gender. The abilities, qualities,
values, principles and conduct are relevant and not just being a man or a woman. Our
life is too short to be wasted on such issues / comparisons; lets be smart and mature
to make life beautiful together just as a human being and not as a man or a woman.
33
If we can be like an elephant then majority of our problems will get solved without
any effort! How? Lets discuss.
Majority of us might have got an opportunity to observe the elephant walking on the
city streets. If a dog sees an elephant, he barks at him. However the elephant never
reacts. Elephant maintains his calm and peace and keeps walking in the right
direction. They forgive the ignorant dog. Elephant knows that the dog can not harm
him. Elephant is also not going to harm anyone. Its just that they are big in size and
not usually seen on the city street and so out of its nature the dog barks seeing an
unusual thing, nothing else.
The same way when we will be leading ahead in our life, with right approach, towards
right destination, through appropriate routes, with our values / ethics / principles;
there will be many mean, selfish, ignorant, greedy, materialistic, short-visionary kind
of other people who will doubt, distrust, misguide, humiliate, ignore, trouble and
harass us.
However if our soul is enlightened even a bit, if we could have achieved even a part
of self-realization, when we know that we are true to our heart i.e. our conscience do
not have any guilty feeling, then we should not react to them. We should know in our
hearts that our routes will benefit the world at large. We should not get disturbed or
distracted by others. Try to respond by simply ignoring them. Learn to forgive them.
But share your knowledge, thoughts and vision for over all growth in life which
finally leads to spiritual development beyond this temporary form of life.
However I do not mean that ignore others in totality. What I mean is do not waste
your time and energy in reacting to those who can not add real value and meaning to
their own life as well as to that of others. If you have defined value adding cause to
your existence and are leading life for right objectives then do not get hurt by the
impact of the outside material environment. It can be related to your personal life
including education or marriage, professional life, social life and spiritual values.
However always guide others about how you are right but never insist much on them
to accept that they are wrong. Do your duty and leave the rest on his/her soul.
At the same time also try to learn from what others say. We may learn something new
which can help us to improve. Take it as an opportunity to improve rather than an
insult to react. If you find that you have done any mistake during your journey then do
not waste your time and energy in justifying your wrong action and immediately take
the corrective step and keep moving ahead.
Also learn from others experiences as well. There is a saying that Life is too short to
experience everything so learn from others experiences. But finally the decision
34
should be yours because its you who is the owner so also responsible for your own
thoughts, speech and actions.
Thus this management guru, the elephant, does not represent complete avoidance, it
simply represents non-reaction.
Let us make it easy by a simple saying Never argue with a fool. The third person will
not be able to differentiate!
Let us also learn one more aspect. At some places where elephants are used as manual
labor, the handlers tie them just with a rope but still elephants do not break free the
rope. It is because when they were very young, from that time they are tied up with
the same rope. The rope is strong enough for the baby elephant to get rid of it. After
few efforts they give up permanently. Hence even after they grow up; they continue to
assume that the rope can limit them, based on their past experiences during childhood.
However for a grown up elephant, breaking the same rope is not a difficult task. This
represents our wrong mental blocks and negative attitude. If we can break our inner
mental boundaries then we can easily go to an extra mile, in any phase of life. Learn
from past failures but never stick to it. Live in present. Such positive attitude will help
us to build a better future.
(Please note that by no means the Dog and/or Elephant, as an animal, are
commented upon over here negatively. In fact among 25, one of the best management
gurus will be represented by dog, going ahead in this book. As said in the
introduction, here the Elephant, and for that matter all management gurus which are
discussed in this book are just to represent and discuss the management principles and
not intended to comment on any animal / bird and other creatures etc. directly in any
manner)

Cow, such an innocent and patient animal!
Cow is gifted with one of the fantastic physical arrangement where by it can eat the
food without chewing it, store it inside and then later take it out in mouth to chew it
properly and send it back for digestion.
I wish we humans could have such a kind of physical arrangement. In todays busy
world, we may hear many saying that I do not have time even to die; anyway its law
of life by nature that should ideally manage that; then where is the question of taking
healthy food on time and chewing it properly? Some may even feel that to eat less
costly healthy food and on the top of that to chew it properly is wastage of time,
money and energy. They feel that to eat is to suffer!
Sounds too much exaggerated? Lets discuss.
Who are we? Before and above all the designations which we receive in our
professional, personal and social life; we are individual souls which has currently
taken shelter in a human body.
Till the time we are in body, the body feels hunger and thirst. Apart from breath, if we
do not take food and water then we are bound to die in a few days. Thus food
including water is one of our basic needs.
We all anyway eat food; but what really matters is the following:
While selecting our food including the liquids, are we checking its impact
on our short / long term heath and hygiene or consuming them just based
on our desires for taste sense satisfaction; which are also influenced by
demonstration effect that traps our emotions and psychology i.e. mind?
Do we eat food on time?
Do we CHEW our food properly?
According to me to chew food properly is a must aspect for ensuring good health.
Hence it is addressed over here separately as a serious note.
We materially developed humans of 21st century are so busy that we have forgot that
the food is one of our basic needs and other material achievements come later in the
hierarchy of material desires.
We are living beings and not dead machines. Our body is a life support mechanism
which needs food intake as a power supply.
36
As stated earlier it is our responsibility to ensure proper maintenance of our body so
that it can protect us i.e. the soul. Human birth is very precious because it is the only
route to lead fast towards high end spiritual goals.
In our day to day life we keep ourselves so much busy in studies, work, phone calls,
meetings, conferences, presentations, travel, reading, roaming etc. that we try to save
time on eating. The problem is not with our busy schedules and too many
commitments, its the time management where we fail. We even consume a lot of
unhealthy and unhygienic food and drinks. Sometimes we also eat just to enjoy food
though we may not be hungry, which may also result in wastage of food. We all give
too much importance to taste sense gratification rather then eating food to survive. We
may find it difficult to compromise on our clothes, jewelry etc. but when it comes to
selecting food and drinks we hardly bother to check its impact on our health.
Also we hardly find it necessary to chew the food. Remember that the digestion
process starts from mouth while chewing food where saliva mixes with the food and
then digestion process continues into the stomach. By not chewing the food properly
we invite many health problems for ourselves.
Also to comment on the timing for eating the food, say if we eat on scheduled time or
delay it, in any case the time consumed remains the same then why to delay it? Few
just like to show-off their business and also harass others by all these tricks! Is it
really going to help?
Life is to live and not to spend. So take out time to live!
37
P for Pigeon. P for Peace. Pigeon represents Peace.
We all seek peace. Is it peace which makes us happy or is it happiness which keeps us
at peace? Its the peace which makes us happy! But we unfortunate humans continue
to spend our life in pursuit of happiness by linking it just to the material pleasures. It
always keeps us unsatisfied which takes away the peace of mind and also misleads the
soul. The ignorant soul continues to be trapped into material pleasures and pains. If
we are actually developing then why the number of cases of depression, stress,
suicides, frauds, rape, murders, robberies, terrorism etc. are increasing? Why do we
have wars? Why do we have so many beggars? Why is the gap between the rich and
the poor increasing? etc. All such psychological, emotional, personal, professional,
social, economical, political and ecological issues are increasing at an alarming rate.
Thus peace includes all aspects of our life.
As per the laws of life by nature, all living elements and creatures have right to live,
enjoy peace and be happy out of their freedom. We as humans are more powerful than
any other form of life due to the high power of brain gifted to us. However we so
called intelligent and powerful humans misuse our powers for our self-interest by
harming other people and creatures in many ways. In the long run this will prove to be
highly disastrous for everyone. Lets have a broad and long term vision for life. We
have to ensure that earth continues to be the best place to live forever for each form of
life, which will benefit our own inner self, the soul; in various journeys in different
forms having different characteristics.
Lets take an example of Veg Vs. Non-Veg. We should try to restrict our usage,
consumption and possession to Veg items to ensure maximum peace across globe,
across various forms of lives. Veg is the best way of living because it is less painful
and sinful. It will also ensure balanced growth with permanent sustainability.
Lets prove it. The scientific and logical reasoning for the same is as follows:
The creatures like animals, birds etc. which are used for producing Non-Veg food and
other consumables including killing of animals / birds for religious beliefs etc., they
have got more SENSES like touch / taste / smell / sight / hearing including various
POWERS like to think, speak, walk etc., as applicable to various lives.
However the living creatures like vegetables i.e. plants, fruits etc. used for producing
Veg food and other consumables, they just have the body i.e. the touch sense and they
are not gifted with other senses and different powers / body parts by nature.
Peace requires non-violence, truth, ethics, love, simplicity, good health and
satisfaction. Peace ensures happiness for all.
Remember that Happiness can not be owned. Share it to feel it.
38
We all should unite and work for mutual peace and happiness for all humans, as well
as be responsible for peace and happiness of all other forms of lives including climate
and environment, as one team of humans named as Team Earth rather than getting
divided on the basis of country, religion, caste, looks, skin color, language,
social/financial status, education etc.
This will also help our soul to lead towards ultimate peace out of its FREEDOM from
material planets.
39
Frog is a management guru that is most relevant in todays age where the young
generation is most vulnerable to get into the disastrous path by getting influenced by
outside material world.
Frogs can be found in a well or in an ocean. Similarly we also come across so many
individuals who are represented by the frog in the well i.e. they have narrow scope,
vision, approach, attitude in their life. On the other hand we have few individuals who
are achievers in true sense and who live meaningful life by proving to be an asset for
the world at large, represented by the frogs found in ocean.
The Well Frogs:
The well frog feels that world is only up to the boundaries of wall. They are not aware
or they intentionally ignore that the world is even beyond that well!
In their day to day life they spend MOST of their time in sleeping, playing videogames
especially violent ones, going out for dating, going to disc, pub, watching only
no-knowledge based programs, reading only no-knowledge based information,
playing, freaking out at various stores and shopping just for fun without any real need
to consume, eating unhealthy food all the time even if not hungry, drinking
unhygienic drinks. They do not like to waste their time and energy by getting
involved into family and social matters. At workplace also they are just bothered
about the task that is allotted to them to get their salary at the end of every month.
They are not open to learn and enhance their knowledge because it sounds boring and
waste of time to them. They like to party late at night, go for long drives just for the
sake of it and sleep during day time. They always feel short of money to invest and
decide to invest tomorrow and as we all know that for them Tomorrow Never Dies.
They believe in feeling high by getting intoxicated through alcohol / drugs, smoking.
They like to humiliate others and also fight with them for self created reasons etc.
They feel that they are the only ones who know how to enjoy life.
The Ocean Frogs:
We also have other type of people, say ocean frogs; who do enjoy life but they have
their own definition of enjoyment based on their rational and matured understanding
about the true purpose of life. They maintain balance between Materialistic and
Spiritual goals in life.
They sleep less and try to invest their time in value adding activities. They live a well
scheduled and planned life. They do exercise. They update their knowledge through
news papers, magazines etc. They watch knowledge based TV programs including
entertainment. They take interest in family matters and care for them higher than their
own self. They are also socially active. They build and manage relations, contacts and
networks. They plan and divide their time to balance between family, education /
40
trainings, work, sports, recreation and social commitments etc. They invest for better
tomorrow. They do right things at the right time in the right way for the right cause!
They are on the right direction with correct approach in life. They live for a value
adding cause / objective. They are very precious because they are Godlike i.e. close to
nature. They carry weapons of non-violence, simplicity, truth and peace. They have
control over their mind and hence they enjoy freedom from the trap of ego, anger, fear
and desires. They serve others in a selfless state of mind. They are ethical and honest.
They follow correct principles and values in life and hence they are trustworthy. They
believe in mutual help and co-operation. They feel satisfaction in helping others. They
are at peace and feel satisfied which keeps them happy in any situation. They are
always open to learn. At work place also they take initiative and participate in various
activities. They do not add value only to their family, work place or society but also
set an example by contributing for happiness and true success for the world at large.
Take the world map and ask one question to yourself:
What is my contribution for happiness across globe?
It will help all of us to continue with our endless efforts to improve. It will always
remind us that there is much to be done.
Remember that our final goal is to lead our soul to spiritual growth by devoting it to
Godliness while we are busy fulfilling our other commitments as a human being.
41
If we want to add meaning to our existence and add value to our family, work place,
society and to world at large then we should dare to be like the crow.
Crow has biggest strength to select food mainly from garbage. Thus it takes
ownership of the surrounding to reduce waste and garbage. What does it represent? It
represents that the crow takes up responsibility to bring change.
Lets try to be like a crow and take-up the responsibility to bring positive change into
our surroundings including our own inner self.
At no point of time we will have a world with no issues or problems. What do we do?
We simply blame others like family members, culture at work place, government,
other people etc. We enjoy the biggest excuse How can I change it alone? We say
that The system works like this and even I am a victim.
Always remember that United we stand and divided we fall. What stops us from
taking the leadership or at-least contributing as a team member for mutual benefit?
Whenever we face any problem or issue, wherever; say at our home, office, society
etc. we expect others to take ownership to change it.
One more excuse which we all have is I do not have enough time to change it. I am
so busy with my other commitments. Is helping your own self by acting on your own
problems is not your job?
We complain that the ABC person at family or society is not supportive, the XYZ
colleague or leader is not co-operative, PQR politician is corrupt etc. Can complaining
alone help? So when you know the problems then why not look for a solution? If
there is a solution, then why not act on the same? Always remember that Self Help is
the Best Help and is the best solution to all your problems. Unless we take the
responsibility of helping our own self then nothing can help us including God.
Godheads blessings can help only those who are ready to help themselves and others.
Accepting the wrong thing is equal to contributing to it! As discussed earlier in the
Theory of God, to worship God is to be God. To be God is to be Good. To be Good is
to follow Godliness which includes helping, caring and sharing.
The selection of food from garbage by crow also represents that never ignore or doubt
any persons abilities. Everyone has something to contribute. Thus a person may be
unproductive in many ways but still he / she will have some qualities that can add
value to others. Learn to pick up food from garbage like crows i.e. do not look only at
bad qualities of others and try to pick out their good qualities for mutual benefit.
One more learning is of sharing and caring. When crow sees food it calls other crows
as well and then they all take benefit of the available food. Thus never feel like
getting benefited alone. There is much available for everyone in this huge world.
World has abundant opportunities for all. There is opportunity for everyone to make
42
money, earn fame and succeed in life. Those who help others are the one who succeed
in their life the most. So believe in sharing for achieving.
We play so many varied roles Viz. as a family member, student, friend, relative,
employee of a company, professional, businessman, member of the society, as a
citizen and above all as a human; in every role played by us we should follow one
thing Help others to help yourself. We can grow only by sharing our knowledge,
opportunities, contacts, networks, benefits etc. Say for example, can you imagine a
situation where entire economy is into recession except for your company? It can
never be. Think macro and do not stick to My Self.
However crow is not popular as a pet bird because it makes a lot of noise. Hence
remember that to be an effective leader and team player we need to listen more and
talk less. Maintain your soft tone and pleasant language even during stress. Others
should not feel bored, insulted or humiliated listening to your talks. Try to remain
calm in any situation. Sounding loud or getting angry can never help to face any
adversity. Always talk what is relevant to the opposite person, situation and
surrounding. Being participative, active and correct is different from being noisy.
43
Honey-bees prepare honey out of the sweet nectar from flowers. They fly and sit on
various flowers and finally bless us with honey.
Here the first lesson is to understand that the way flowers are valuable resources for
honey-bees to prepare honey the same way we also make use of so many natural
resources for our developmental needs and consumption.
Lets elaborate this.
Planet earth has blessed us with abundant resources. The process of Development
means developing something new out of existing things in the nature. All resources
used for developments are a part of nature. So are we owners of that? No. These are
those inputs, which are made by none of us. We can say its a free gift of nature. We
can not create the natural resources but can only change their form which is termed as
Development. Can we have an output without input?
We selfish, greedy, competitive and short-sighted humans are running blindly for
achieving material developments at an alarming pace. We are trapped by our never
ending desires for material pleasures. It starts from our petty emotions of ego and
jealousy resulting in too much of comparison and competition attitude.
However I do not mean that we should stop all developments. What I mean over here
is that we should ensure protection to environment and plan balanced growth. We are
responsible for overall betterment of life on earth. We should not be selfish to give
importance only to human desires for material pleasures. Our goal should be to serve
others. The way honey-bees bless us with honey out of their efforts, even our efforts
should be directed towards betterment of life of all living creatures on earth including
we humans.
In our life we consume so many things. However much of them is not justifiable. We
waste so much of our time, energy and money on so many things which are not that
important. Also many believe in the Use and Throw way of consumption. Its
surprising! Believe in generating least possible wastage. Invest on waste management.
Do plan for recycling of waste products. Always value Simplicity to conserve
natural resources. It will also help us to achieve higher satisfaction that will increase
peace and happiness including good health for all forms of lives across the universe.
We spend so much time, energy and money on marriages, parties, social functions,
religious festivals etc. The same time, energy and money can be invested for helping
poor people by providing them with food, water, clothing, shelter, also by way of
starting up more schools, colleges, hospitals, sanitation facilities for needy people etc.
We can also try to help and protect other living creatures in different ways.
Try to save and invest resources rather than wasting them. We misguided and selfish
humans are causing tremendous harm to humanity and nature as a whole.

44
By protecting natural resources including adoption of Vegetarian life style will cause
great benefit to world at large and promote ecological balance. The world will be
ruled and managed by laws of nature with peace and happiness.
Much of our consumption and possession needs have got no reason. We should try to
restrict our consumption to the extent we need because desires have no end! We
should not think of ourselves alone. Have a broad and long term vision for life spread
beyond our current form of a human being. We have to ensure that earth continues to
be the best place to live forever.
One more important lesson learnt from honey-bees is that everyone has some good
quality and ability to contribute. The way honey-bee takes contribution from various
flowers, even we should try to understand the skills, abilities of different people and
try to extract the same from them to return back its benefit to the world at large, which
is represented by honey.
To get into further details, it also explains that if someone is disrespectable due to
some reasons, still try to find out their positive qualities. Respect them by recognizing
their positive qualities. It will hit their conscience and they will try to improve on their
own! Its an easy and appropriate way to deal with such people. Try it out.
45
Parrot is one of the pet birds. Few of them can be taught to speak human language to
some extent. However parrot, being a bird can speak only to the extent they are
taught. They can learn to speak few easy things if trained properly. In-fact this can be
applied to many birds / animals and other creatures, for various aspects e.g. Circus.
This represents that anyone can learn any skill if they are given proper training for the
same. However humans differ in application of IQ, EQ, and SQ. We normally tend to
expect exercise of common sense from everyone. The definition of common sense is
also relative and subjective. Some expect that people should learn on their own
without providing them with training.
Also few expect others to execute work as per their assumption of application of
common sense. As per the Theory of Co-Existence (Relativity) there are many
things which can have different characteristics for different people, though the fact
remains the same i.e. say from ones point of view something can be applicable
however from someone elses point of view it can be not applicable. Lets take one
very simple example. While its day in few eastern countries; at the same time its night
for few western countries and vice-versa. However the time itself as a fact is intact.
Thus the time itself is indifferent of such contradicting features. Similarly in majority
we can apply this theory of co-existence (relativity) to many things in life, though the
fact remains unchanged.
There are four main aspects behind the Theory of Co-Existence (Relativity). They
are:
Substance
Place
Time
Characteristics / Attributes
Thus as a leader we have to ensure that our team members are given proper training
so that they can execute their work as expected.
There may be a few people who follow the exact way in which they are taught to do
things. People also vary in their experiences so the common sense for one can be
uncommon for the other person to exercise it on his / her own without being taught
the same. In such cases the training process needs to be made more effective. Also,
never blame a person and look at any error as an opportunity to improve the process.
We should always be open to learn. All roles played by us throughout our lives can
always be improved further. Similarly we can also learn and follow true principles for
our spiritual growth to move ahead towards our final destination of liberation.
46
What a lovely voice a cuckoo has! Cuckoo is liked for its sweet voice by everyone. It
represents Communication Skills.
Communication is a very wide subject. Lets discuss only few important aspects of
it in a different way.
The various types of communication can be broadly divided into:
(A) Without the use of words:
Body language
It even includes Silence, Gift, Photograph, Drawing etc.
(B) With the use of words:
Oral
Written
Communication can also be combination of above two e.g. A presentation to audience
where the presenter communicates orally along-with physical movements etc.
There are also few unique forms of communication like Reiki, Telepathy and
Hypnosis etc.
While communicating, mainly following needs to be taken care of, as applicable to
respective form of communication:
Physical expressions
Tone and Volume
Words / Language
Way / Style of communication/presentation/expression
Check the appropriateness of our communication with respect to following:
Substance
Place
Time
Characteristics / Attributes
Important thing to learn here is to convey:
Sorry: Learn to convey Sorry when we know that we are wrong and try to
improve. It includes apologizing by the use of word like Excuse Me etc.
However the important thing is to mean it and not just to convey it!
47
Thank you: Learn to convey Thank You when we know that some one has
helped us and do try to help others when possible.
Appreciation: When someone has done something good, appreciate it in the
presence of others and recognize it through a gift, a card, a pat on the back etc.
Error: When some one has done a mistake do not shout at him / her. If you
need to discuss it with concerned person then try to avoid it in front of others.
Request: Try to use Please when you raise any formal request to others.
Respect: Communicate in a way which can never hurt others self-respect.
Following emotions lead to a disastrous communication and decision making if they
go on an extreme level.
Anger
Fear
Grief
Happiness
Mind and Tongue play a very important role in managing extreme emotions. Just
follow these golden principles to control your extreme emotions:
When you are too much excited out of extreme fear or anger try to control
your tongue. Keep the mouth shut. Do not make any comment. Do not declare
any decision; if there is no real need to speak. Choose to speak later. It will not
only help to resolve the problem but will also save every ones time and
energy.
Stop thinking too fast when you are excited out of extreme grief or happiness
and do not declare any decision at that point of time. Give some time to
yourself say a few minutes, a couple of hours, maybe even a day or two and
then think with a settled mind and decide what would be an appropriate
decision for a given situation.
In the above situations, what we speak-out later with a calm mind will be different
from what we must have thought of saying earlier!
Never have closed mind by assuming following:
I know everything
I can never be wrong
Believe in following:
Others are also knowledgeable
Others opinion can also be valuable
Everyone deserves and has a right to express their views and opinions
48
Following aspects are very important for managing communication:
Anticipating, Managing and Avoiding Communication Gaps.
Maintaining balance between the usage of IQ, EQ and SQ in the
communication and decision making process.
Few important ingredients for effective communication are:
Truth
Peace
Respect
Rationality
Simplicity
Transparency
Usefulness / Relevance
Only when required
Only where required
Only in the way required
Only to the extent required
Some of the best techniques to improve communication and decision making process:
Introspection
Brainstorming
Use of Suggestion-Box; with the option of name to be disclosed or not.
However if the name is disclosed; its confidentiality should be ensured on
demand of the person providing the suggestion
Voting (preferably names undisclosed or as per the design of suggestion-box
as above)
360 degree feedback based evaluation (design again as per the Voting)
These techniques mainly help in promoting lateral thinking. It also discourages the
dominance enjoyed by a few people, say in the corporate world, social organizations
or even in a family system. This also provides a window to those who lack confidence
to speak out openly, but have a lot to contribute.

Any kind of communication should ensure the spreading of love, care, equality,
respect, peace and happiness. Also communicate to express and not just to impress!
However one negative thing about cuckoos is that they do not build their own nests.
They break a crows eggs to replace it with their eggs. Likewise there may be people
who might harm others for their personal benefit. Be careful in such a situation.
However if it happens to you then look at such incidence as an opportunity to improve
and not an excuse to take revenge. Also never cause such bad things for others just
because someone else has hurt you by doing those very things. Theory of karma will
help you to be true to your soul and lead it towards its spiritual growth rather then
messing it up in the material world.

Peacock is well known for its colorful feathers and pleasant dance.
While presenting yourself in a personal, social or official gathering its necessary to
look like a peacock i.e. a pleasant personality. There is a saying First impression is
the Last impression. However I do not agree with this completely but at the same
time it is meaningful to some extent in certain circumstances. Say when its a meeting
for a job interview, a business proposal, a marriage proposal etc. then the impression
which is created on the other person is based on the intelligence, knowledge,
behavior, communication and also self-presentation which includes dressing style, the
way you style your hair etc.
Peacock is liked for its colors. Thus wear clothes that suit to the requirement and your
personality. It does not mean that they should necessarily be costly. Do not give much
importance only to current fashion or others outfits. Always wear what suits you.
Wear those colors, outfits in which you feel more comfortable and confident.
Peacock looks awesome when it spreads its colorful feathers in a circle. Thus it
represents the art of presentation. Always present your qualities and abilities, your
views and opinions, your ideas and knowledge and your objections, in a way which
can be well received by others.
Just follow one golden principle in any kind of presentation Make it Short and
Simple but Complete and Presentable
When we consider the peacock as a representative of our soul then the colors in the
feathers stand for the value system driven by we the souls. Worship Godliness.
Different religions have defined the existence of God in different ways. However the
real God lies in ones own spiritual values. Being God is being good. Be good i.e. true
to your own inner self. The real happiness lies in self-realization and devotion to
spiritual values for achieving enlightenment.
Learn to strike a balance between material and spiritual personality. Never judge a
person just based on his / her material personality. There are many people in this
world who do not have enough food to eat, water to drink and clothes to wear. Having
a well structured shelter, education and medical facilities etc. are like a dream for
them! Thus there is a lot we can do to add value to the world at large in addition to
what we normally choose to do!
The best outfits are truth, non-violence and knowledge. The best ornaments are
simplicity, good character and good mannerisms. The best education is spiritual
values and principles. The best skills and abilities are to love, care and share. The best
contribution is to promote good health, peace and happiness across the globe for all
forms of lives. Thus never attach your soul, your true inner self to material aspects of
various material forms of temporary material lives, on different material planets!

Just referring a donkey as one of the best management gurus MAY annoy a few of us.
This was one of the reasons why I included donkey as one of the best management
gurus, which is a lesson on its own!

I feel that we need to improve our attitude and approach of looking at things, people,
events and surroundings etc.
We might have heard someone referring to the word Donkey to humiliate other
person, say for example by saying that He is a donkey. Our opinion about donkey
itself will help us to learn so many management principles to become an effective
team player and leader in all areas of our life. It will also help us to learn the
principles of achievements and success.
Lets discuss:
I feel that one of the reasons why donkey is not respected by few of us is because they
are mainly used for laborious work.
Also, they do not look as attractive as a horse though their overall appearance is some
what similar to them. Hence they are the victim of their comparison with horses by
humans.
We all know that horse has got some qualities which are more appreciated than that of
a donkey so does it mean that the donkey, as an independent creature of nature, can
not serve others? Does it not have self-respect and desire to be respected and counted
like others?
They are mainly used for hard work like carrying load on their back and are hardly
used for race or riding like horses. Again comparison.
Similarly we intelligent humans also feel that in todays generation we need to do
smart work to become rich and successful. It is not wrong to be smart but it is not the
only thing which is required to be successful.
Always remember the following golden principles:
There is no alternate to hard work.
There is no short cut to success.
An occupation / job can only be either Moral or Immoral. It can not be
Superior or Inferior. Choose only Morality!
51
Lets discuss the principles stated above:
Take an example of a sports man or other celebrities like film stars / singers /
musicians etc. i.e. the people who are into such career fields which are more exposed
to public at large, that make them popular and known across the globe. They are
following the career principle Use Natural Powers for Serving Senses by choosing a
career stream that could make them uncommon among the common crowd e.g. a
singer uses his/her power of a pleasant voice to satisfy others sense of hearing.
Does this mean that they do not need to do Hard Work?
and / or
Does it mean that others are not as Important or they are not Smart Workers?
Obviously, Not.
In-fact the amount of concentration, practice and hard work required by the celebrities
in their work might be much higher than many others. Thus everyone is a Hard
Worker. Also different people may choose / prefer / like / get into / suit to different
career fields. However never look at it from a superior or an inferior point of view.
Respect everyone equally. It will help us to reduce inequality and racism based on
material comparisons. To do our work / job based on morality, with the intention of
adding positive value to others and meaning to our existence by serving each-other, in
a selfless state of mind, is one of the true objectives of life.
None of the jobs can be categorized as good, better or best if they are based on
morality. Anyone who can perform his/her task with deep commitment then he/she is
a Smart Worker. However one may prefer to choose the kind of job which suits
his/her requirements for his/her own self. But do not comment on others work
except for giving unbiased guidance when asked for it or if found required. In any
case do not get carried away just by what others say. Remember the Theory of
Relativity and you will surely succeed in what ever you choose to do! Why to
devalue our existence just based on material comparisons? Add positive value to your
self and it will automatically add value to the world at large. Do your efforts
sincerely. Do not attach much importance to material results. Work with an objective
to learn and see the miracle. You will be able to contribute more and will also get
higher returns than what you might have expected.
Thus the need for hard work will always exist to be successful, even in todays smart
and fast age. Also each type of work has got its own unique and independent value.
However few may choose to follow the negative and unethical short-cut routes to
make a lot of money with minimum efforts and at a faster pace. They may get on a
path which might lead towards destruction for all including them. We all are unique
souls who are here as a human being for a short period of time. So lets make it
independent and unique in its own constructive way rather than comparing it with
other humans. Lets grow as an individual eternal soul rather than just focusing on our
current form of life that will continue only for a limited time frame. Lets try to find
out the true purpose to live rather than an excuse to spend time.
52
Let me also refer to a spider as a Management Guru to learn the wonderful
management principle of Commitment to Win.
Lets quote a saying Try, Try but Never Cry.
A spider builds its web with great efforts. This web is so delicate that even a passing
wind can damage it. However the spider never gives up and keeps building its web
again and again until it builds it completely.
Thus we may fail in our personal relations, business projects, social initiatives etc. but
we should also never give up in life. Never ever stop. Be a spider. Be committed to
win.
Consider failure as a stepping stone to success, only then one can actually succeed.
Try to be your Self-Motivator and Self-Counselor. Build a positive attitude. Take
initiatives. Be an entrepreneur even if you are doing a job i.e. be the owner and
responsible for what you do.
Live only in present. Learn from your past mistakes and failures. This will help you to
plan for future in a much better way. Never get stuck to the past. Always move ahead.
Even if you do not succeed the first time, never stop putting in your hard work. Put in
your best efforts to achieve your commitments. Success and failure are part of the
learning process. Our failures teach us to be careful the next time by not repeating the
same mistakes again. Success in one commitment may help us in succeeding in the
other tasks which are yet to be performed in life.
Similarly the soul also passes through various forms of temporary lives. However the
very basic fact that we are currently a human being itself proves that our soul has yet
to reach to the peak of spiritual development i.e. achieving salvation, which is the
final success for each soul. But at the same time because of our past efforts we are
fortunate to take birth as a human being because salvation can be achieved only at the
end of human life, though not necessarily this one it-self. So let us continue to be on
the right path and move ahead with the final goal of leading towards our freedom.
Lets commit ourselves to win our liberation and do not miss out the best opportunity
available to us in the form of life as a human being! Lets try to achieve permanent
solution to all problems, worries and formalities related to our various temporary
material existences by practicing sacrifice and forgiveness to be detached from
material pleasures and pains. We have to learn to develop neutral / indifferent / empty
state of mind through meditation in search of self-realization for our enlightenment
from karmas trap, which will lead us towards our spiritual development.
53
Horse represents power, strength, activeness, alertness, team work etc. Let us change
our pattern of discussion over here. We will just narrate some aspects of their
behavior which will help us to learn some management lessons on its own.
Teamwork and Leadership:
Horses are herd animals i.e. they live in groups.
They have a clear hierarchy of rank with a defined leader.
Horses are social in nature. They form companionship attachments to their
own species and to other animals, including humans.
Sleep:
Horses can sleep not only by lying down but also while standing up. In-fact
they mainly sleep in standing posture only.
They obtain sleep broken into many short periods.
Horses require approximately two and a half hours of sleep, on an average, in
a 24-hour period. Most of this sleep occurs in many short intervals of about 15
minutes each in standing posture only.
They only have to lie down for an hour or two every few days.
However, if a horse is never allowed to lie down, after several days it will
become sleep-deprived, and in rare cases may suddenly fall down as it slips
into sleep while standing.
Horses sleep well when in groups because some animals will sleep while
others stand to watch for predators. If kept alone then it may not sleep well
because of the fear of danger.
54
It is one of the most popular pet animals.
We should be thankful to animals / birds because they do not have a structured system
of keeping us as their pet or even using us for other purposes e.g. Circus etc. Would
any human like that? No. We prefer our freedom and right to live. In the same way,
would any animal or bird like to be controlled by humans or would they admire
freedom and right to live their lives on their on terms?
Lets change our pattern of discussion over here also. We will try to list down the
specific behavior patterns of dogs, which itself explains many of the management
principles:
They try to protect their masters.
They always trust their masters.
They display loyalty to their masters and also obey them.
They are always alert and active. While sleeping also they are so much alert
that even a bit of noise or movement can awaken them.
They sleep in intervals / breaks.
They have high energy and efficiency levels.
They smell almost every thing i.e. they examine things around them.
They entertain and play with us. They mix with others easily including
humans. Obviously, thats one of the reasons why they are so much popular as
pet animals!
Many of us might have observed that street dogs always be in teams and they
take care of the area looked after by them.
55
I chose it to be the last management guru in my book. But let me say that the saying
Last but NOT the Least is truly applicable to the migrating birds, here in this book.
Depending on the change in seasons, migrating birds migrate mainly for shelter and
food. Thus in our life we may get opportunities to travel to various places across
globe for education, job requirements, social cause etc. Its an opportunity to learn,
meet different people and also to serve others etc. It also may be to share our
knowledge, opportunities, experiences etc. We may also prepare for the same by
learning foreign culture, languages etc. to the extent possible and/or required, by
various means.
At the same time there are many factors which need to be considered and examined
into various permutations and combinations before deciding on migration. It can be
permanent or temporary. Again the practical aspects related to family, health, finance,
priorities, goals etc. should also be given due consideration. We should never be
selfish in making such a decision. At the end of the day we are humans who are social
in nature. If its related only to achievement of monetary and other material aspects
for us without peace of mind, good health and happiness for all then it can not make
us successful. Also with the use of advanced technologies we have privilege to reach
each corner of the world with the help of Internet etc.
However lets depend more on introspection over here rather than discussing it
further.
Here the migrating birds do not represent only physical travel but it also represents
mental shift from existing mindset, prejudices, wrong beliefs etc. for the benefit of all
including ourselves.
The migrating bird represents our soul. Till date we, the eternal soul, have passed
through various forms of material lives and we will continue the same till salvation.
So we have to work out correct strategy for the same in advance, by following true
spiritual principles so that we do not land up at a wrong place, at the wrong time, in a
wrong form and circumstances which can hinder our spiritual growth. Lets lead our
soul in the right direction by following the management learning represented by all
our 25 wonderful management gurus.
56
The views mentioned in this book are not influenced from any religious beliefs. They
are the management principles based on infinite laws of life governed by nature. This
book is an attempt to define management principles based on spiritual intelligence for
the true success and happiness for all, by referring to various creations of nature.

MAHABHARAT - Learning Management from Vidur Niti in 2 Pages

2
This book is an attempt to bring our focus on the true and core essence of learning from the epic
Mahabharat with respect to Vidur Niti.
We come across a lot of difference of opinions when we try to learn from Mahabharat and so
we fail to understand the true essence of the same.
In this book we will focus only on most important areas of learning from Mahabharat with
respect to Vidur Niti to understand the core message behind the same in just 2 Pages.
I have already written my view on Bhagvad Gita in just a page in one of my earlier books. This
time I have selected Vidur Niti, again a very important PART of the epic Mahabharat.
The views mentioned in this book are neither influenced from any religious beliefs nor based on
direct reference to any particular God.
PLEASE READ IT ONLY AS A MANAGEMENT BOOK and not as a direct comment on any
religion or God or anything and everything that is directly and/or indirectly linked to various
literatures for interpretation of Mahabharat and/or Vidur Niti and/or for that matter anything
which may even directly and/or indirectly link to anyones religious beliefs etc.
This book is a sincere and honest attempt to add maximum value and meaning to our current
form of material existence as a human being, in the minimum possible investment of our time. It
is a small contribution from my end as compared to the entire galaxy of knowledge that can be
explored by us.
If we get clarity in the universal principles of Life Management then we can easily build on it,
even by referring to other literatures available on Mahabharat / Vidur Niti and/or from other
books whether linked to any religion or not or by any other mode, which is related to life
management based on spiritual intelligence, as one may believe into or choose to refer.
As we all say Learning is a continuous and never ending process if we try to learn with an Open
Mind. So lets stick to what we all say!
Here the methodology which we will follow is that to discuss a few details of Mahabharat and
then to quote the original Sanskrit verses by Vidur and try to learn the spiritual management
philosophy from the same.

MAHABHARAT is a very huge and one of the most respected holy epics.
However, the most relevant and fundamental characters of it, as per my opinion, from
management learning point of view are Shri Krishna and three families of the sons of Ved Vyas,
the author of Mahabharat himself, as below:
Pandu, the father of Pandavas.
Dhritrastra, the father of Kauravas.
Vidur, the one who is popularly known for Vidur Niti
Vidur Niti
Vidur gave consultancy to his brother Dhritrastra about his views specific to the war between
Pandavas and Kauravas and also about life as a whole, which is popularly known as Vidur
Niti. Hence before we start learning FEW of the most valuable teachings by Vidur, lets try to
understand the management learning set-up of Mahabharat, looking at its FEW details as below:
MAHABHARAT
Basic Understanding:

This book is an attempt to learn the best Management Principles taught by Swami
Vivekananda (in Hindi) i.e. Saint Vivekananda.
The holy soul saint Vivekananda was a great writer and speaker from India, during 19th century.
I have only penned down a few of his more intense teachings in just 1 Page to add maximum
value at the minimum possible investment of our time.

We should all have strict Morality.
Its easy to play the role of a Master. The challenge lies in becoming a Servant.
We should be open to Learn whatever good things we come across anywhere.
We should try to be Pure and Selfless.
Money is not power. The real power lies in Holiness.
Great things can be achieved only with great Sacrifices.
Those who live to Serve others are alive. The ones who are selfish are like the dead.
Work Hard. Life is short, find a purpose. Life is much more beyond enjoyment!
If you really want to worship God i.e. Nature then Help the poor, miserable and all
lives across the globe that need our help, care, protection and love.
The only path to real and eternal success is Truth.
Keep away from Jealousy, Ego and Anger. These are main causes of all miseries.
Always be Positive and never criticize others. What maximum we should do is to
Share our knowledge with others to share the blessings of Truth.
Young Children are like lions. They are Fearless. Be a child to be a lion. Bravery lies
in Humbleness, Simplicity, Honesty and Frankness.
Always use Good Language, even while we are communicating with our enemies.
The most precious asset is ones Character and not money, jewels, fame or power.
Great Works are always ridiculed and opposed before they are Accepted.
It is very easy to point out others faults. What matters is finding out their Merits.
The work which develops our Spirituality is the real work. The efforts which are based
only on Materialism are no-work.
Material Intelligence alone can give only temporary material pleasures to a few
whereas Spiritual Intelligence blesses all forms of lives across the universe with real
success and happiness forever and takes us ahead in spiritual growth path i.e. towards
our Salvation/ Moksha/ Nirvana. It frees us, the eternal souls, from slavery of temporary
material forms of lives on various material planets Viz. Earth, Heaven and Hell.

I am happy to see that you appreciated the fact that there can be life beyond Money
and Development or at least you thought that there could be some message in this
book. I would like to thank you for the same.
But before you read this book I want one commitment from you and that is You are
ready to digest the extreme level of happiness and satisfaction that you will get the
moment you finish reading this book i.e. you are ready to LEARN AND CHANGE
with an OPEN MIND!
So, shall we start or end it here itself?
YES!
Obviously Yes, there cannot be any stop to happiness.
We start feeling happy the moment we feel satisfied and we feel satisfied the moment
we are happy!
Feeling Confused.
Please do not be. Let us all make an honest attempt to find a solution for eradicating
all our problems and worries, to the maximum extent possible, forever.
3
First and obviously above all let us thank God (Nature) who with his blessings helps
us to try to get solution to all our worries and confusions about life. If we get some
solution to understand the true secret of happiness then please take a moment from
your life to thank God (Nature) for helping us to be happy. The only way to thank
God (Nature) will be to spread the secret of happiness to the entire world and making
it easy for God (Nature) to bless and love all. This will allow us to live a meaningful
life and above all it will help the world to SURVIVE!
Throughout this book, we will deal with and take examples of Set A and Set B kind of
people by their characteristics.
Set A:
Majority of the Set A people feel unhappy and dissatisfied. Many of them do not
believe in following any ethics, values and principles in their lives. Few of them are
evil minded. Few of them are confused and direction-less. They are the ordinary
humans. They are many. They are not able to maintain a balance between the
Materialistic and Spiritual goals in their lives. They are greedy and hence cannot
understand the power of simplicity. They are trapped by their own ego and desires.
They are not trustworthy because they are selfish. They feel jealous when they see
others happy. They believe only in materialistic comparison and competition.
They cause harm not only to others but also to their own well-being and health along
with peace of mind and happiness.
Set B:
They move in the right direction with correct approach in their lives. They are
extraordinary humans. They are very few in number and hence very precious because
they are close to God i.e. Nature. They maintain the balance between Materialistic and
Spiritual goals in their lives. They possess the most wonderful weapons of simplicity,
truth, peace and non-violence. They have control over their emotions and psychology
and hence they enjoy freedom from the slavery of ego and endless material desires.
They are selfless and hence trustworthy. They believe in mutual help and cooperation.
They feel satisfaction in helping others.
They are the people who are always at peace and satisfied. They spread real happiness
to all forms of lives across the globe. They are all representatives of the God (Nature).
The thoughts which we are going to discuss are very few and much obvious ones but
they have a great impact on every ones life. The only thing is that Set A people never
allow us to learn it OR may be we just ignored it. It will require an investment of just
around thirty minutes out of our entire life and in return we will get the best
opportunity in our life, which is to convert the earth into heaven and to invite God
(Nature) to live with us; right here, right now!

Here is the beginning of our journey to create the heaven, which is just around thirty
minutes away from us.
Welcome.

Human life means a physical living being, which can live only by breathing and
eating food including water. The birth and death cycle is applicable to the material
forms of lives, which is temporary in nature. It is the SOUL which is trapped in the
birth-death-birth cycle in various forms of temporary material lives, at various
material planets Viz. Earth, Heaven and Hell.
There is neither any start nor an end to the existence of soul, which is a kind of
invisible energy that runs through various journeys of lives in various material forms.
The soul is eternal. The soul takes birth in a form of life and then takes rebirth in
some other form of life on death of the former one, which has no beginning as per the
Theory of Karma. The Theory of Karma (Deeds / Actions) is governed by the Laws
of Life by Nature. The soul can achieve FREEDOM form birthdeathbirth
cycle on achieving Salvation / Moksha / Nirvana.
Meditation helps in Self-realization and makes us Omniscient. By the end of
such Human Life the soul clears the balance of Karma of material pleasures by
practicing Sacrifice and pains by Forgiveness and finally enters Spiritual Space
on death i.e. our liberation from all the pleasures, pains and formalities attached with
the material forms of lives at Earth, Heaven and Hell; which again has no end.
As we all know that human beings are not the only ones who have life on this planet.
All animals, birds and vegetables i.e. fruits, plants and trees etc. have lives too. In fact
even the elements like earth itself i.e. sand / minerals, fire, water, air and elements that
generate sound are living elements.
So now who decides who will become what? Even within a category of life who
decides who will be born with physical disabilities and who will be born normal?
Therefore by that sense every life should get opportunity to visit all permutations and
combinations otherwise it will be justice to some and a huge injustice to others. It
explains that the concept of Re-Birth prevails based on the Law of Karma.
Thus it also explains the eternal nature of soul. What happens to a body on death?
Why it stops functioning? This proves that life is not the body. Life is something else
which was running that body before its death i.e. each individual eternal soul, which
gets transformed to some other form of life on death of the previous form of life.
Thus the true life is the eternal soul, which can be termed as an invisible living energy
that experiences the material pleasures, pains and formalities associated with the
material forms of lives until it succeeds in achieving salvation.
The characteristics of the new form of life given to us i.e. the individual eternal souls;
depends on our own actions until previous lives and so on. Nature evaluates our
actions during a life and accordingly decides our form and attributes in the next life as
per the Theory of Karma, governed by the principle of Action-Reaction. Life is
managed as per its laws by nature, an eternal automated life management system.

Set A:
Life is only about making exorbitant Money to enjoy all Luxuries in life. Life is to
rule through Power and Authority and to earn Fame etc.
Do they sound selfish? Obviously Yes.
Set B:
Life is to achieve balance between the Personal, Professional, Social and Spiritual
goals. Life is all about managing and controlling senses, desires, thoughts, speech,
actions, emotions and psychology to achieve real and permanent success by leading
life in a detached way i.e. to understand and manage the difference between the goals
related to temporary body and eternal soul.
Life is to ensure that we do not cause any harm to other lives, to the maximum extent
possible e.g. to live we all need to eat. However we can choose to eat only Veg. food
so that we cause lesser harm to other lives. Non-Veg. food is more sinful because
Non-Veg. food items enjoy higher senses and powers than Veg. food items.
Life also includes managing other material requirements but keeping in mind the
concept of simplicity to ensure peace and good health for all to achieve true happiness
by keeping away from dissatisfaction at any given point of time.
Does not the thought of it alone make us feel fresh and happy? The Set B approach
can help us to get CLOSE to salvation.
Life is a journey to be lived until death. We never apply for either birth or death!
However we are the owners and we can decide the way in which we want to live our
life. Let us ponder on the thought Where am I investing my entire time and energy?
Is it in meeting the needs of the people who fall in Set A category or Set B?
Let us be honest in answering this question to our own inner self.
Now think, What does keep us busy? Is it something what God (Nature) actually
expects from us? Does it require us to put in a lot of efforts to look after the
requirements of Set B people?
Obviously the answer is No! Nature has already created a lot of it, for all of us. We
are here just to respect it and take care of the same.
If Set A needs are not that serious to be worried about, will it not solve more than half
of our worries?
The answer is Yes. Do think about it!
6
Let us answer following questions:
Do we get birth along with money?
Can we at-least carry the money along with us when we finish the journey of life?
No!
Then why is majority of us is just worried about making more and more money
throughout our lives?
Let us have a small conversation:
Set B to Set A: How does money help us?
Set A to Set B: Well, to live we need money; like for food, clothing and shelter etc.
Set B: Agreed. But you have all these things since many years then why do you
continue to have ONLY ONE SINGLE GOAL of making more and more money?
Set A: Well I want success and happiness; so I need more money for that
This is where the problem lies. We all think that we want huge sum of money because
we want to be happy, but actually money alone cannot help us to become happy. In
fact it is making us more and more upset every passing day because we want more
money than what we already have at any point of time.
Does it sound true? Ask this question to yourself.
Nature created all resources and gave it to the entire living society at no cost! Now
how would we go on deciding who will own what? So there was no option left for
humans but to start with a concept called Money to enjoy these resources in
exchange of the same under the human made structure of Economy.
We have forgotten that money is a support to life as defined by human beings as per
structure of Economy and it is NOT THE ONLY GOAL of life.
Life is to live and not just to spend.
No doubt money is required by each one of us to manage our material lives. However
money alone can never be the end solution to anything because happiness is a state of
mind where we feel satisfied about some thing. Just adding on money will always
lead to addition of things without which we could have anyway led a satisfactory life
but our psychology is not allowing us to accept that fact. We keep ourselves busy in
endless materialistic Comparison and Competition because of our sick emotions of

Jealousy and Ego. We need to find a balance between Material and Spiritual goals.
7
The Solution is ready:
Do not plan your expenditure first and then struggle to earn for it, but first earn and
then plan how you want to spend it.
I am sure that you will feel more satisfied and happy this way.
Let us discuss the above philosophy with an example:
Set A:
I have a big flat but I want a bungalow. I have a car but I want my own airplane. I
have powers to rule but I want more, more and more.
Set B:
I have a beautiful house to stay in with a loving family and I am proud of it. Currently
I do not own a luxury car but it does not make me feel unhappy. In all I have the most
wonderful and healthy life to enjoy with complete satisfaction, peace of mind and
happiness and it will keep improving as a gradual process.
So now who is falling short of money? Obviously Set A. This simply means that
people in Set B are much happier than people belonging to Set A because they feel
satisfied and fulfilled even though they continue performing their material duties!
Thus it does not mean that Set B people necessarily need to renounce all their material
duties and straight away become Saint / Monk. It means that they continue fulfilling
their material needs but in a Selfless state of MIND aimed at Serving others by
keeping themselves Detached from the slavery of extreme materialization and
keeping their soul Devoted to God (Nature) i.e. Godliness.
Remember that Greed is never Good
8
Can we have output without input?
Never! Development means creating something new from existing resources. All
resources used for development by we humans are bestowed upon us by nature. So
are we real owners of these natural resources? No. These are those inputs which are
not created by any of us. It is a gift of Nature to all living creatures on earth.
We humans have very limited powers. We can only change the form of natural
resources under the term Development.
Can we imagine development without destruction?
We are destructing natural resources at an alarming rate under the wrong impression
that we are developing things faster.
D stands for Development. It also stands for Destruction.
Nature gave us life with merely two basic needs:
1. Breath
2. Food including Water
We added few more basic needs under the human made structure called as Society:
1. Clothing
2. Structured shelter
However apart from the above mentioned needs including other routine requirements;
we selfish, greedy, competitive and shortsighted humans are also running blindly for
all kind of material pleasures by surrendering to our never ending desires for senses
gratification and to satisfy our sick emotions of jealousy and ego.
Through the existing development we achieve further scope for more development
and this will have no end until all natural resources will perish. At that point we might
just be worried about our need for and may be even the question of availability of
oxygen, food and water; all other things will be of least importance.
Thus some of the developments of today are adding to destruction for tomorrow.
However I DO NOT MEAN that we should completely return to Stone Age and stop
all developments. In fact I am able to write this book because of one of the
technological development and anyone across the globe can access it through Internet.
WHAT I MEAN over here is that we should ensure protection to environment and
plan balanced growth. We should also ensure that development do not create any
negative impact over human emotions and psychology.
9
We should try to understand and accept the fact that we are responsible for overall
betterment of life on earth. We should not be selfish to give importance only to
endless human desires for material pleasures.
We should have a long-term vision to ensure ever lasting growth and success alongwith
peace, good health and happiness for all forms of lives across the globe, forever.
Development should not lead to a situation which causes harm to environment, health
and peace for all forms of lives. Before going ahead with any development it is very
important to evaluate its negative impact. It should be planned in a way that ensures
minimum negative effect or say no negative effect on economy, ecological balance
and human psychology.
We first create need for those things which are actually not required and then we
waste all our time and energy in creating and acquiring those unwanted things and
continue to feel the desire and need for more.
Set A:
I am living just for developing irrespective of its long-term impact or side-effects.
Set B:
I am developing for a better living because I believe in constructive development.
Which is the better way of living life?
Why should we waste resources when we can actually do without them?
So let us think based on long-term impact, maturity, rationality and reality as a true
Gods (Natures) representative before wasting any valuable resource.
Learn two golden principles:
1. Neutrality
2. Indifference
The day we will win over our own psychology by leading life towards achieving
Neutrality and Indifference to the trap of artificial materialistic environment due to
endless desires, all our needs for unwanted imbalanced development will collapse.
It will give birth to a new world with balanced material growth and development to
ensure that the world continues to be the best place to live in forever.
It will save our natural resources and will bring down pollution and waste products. It
will help to reduce diseases and social problems associated with excess inequality. It
will also help to deal with many issues related to economy like high inflation etc.
Neutrality has no shape, no color, no religion or no nationality. So also indifference
has neither an owner nor a competitor.
10
Both of these qualities do not know the meaning of materialistic comparison,
jealousy, negative competition, ego, anger, sadness, inferiority, insult, fear, insecurity,
stress, depression and all such psychological and emotional problems, which never
exist in reality but we humans have defined them for our own harassment.
You commit yourself to Neutrality and Indifference towards destructive and deceptive
extreme materialization; I promise that you will get a solution to many of your
problems the next moment itself, on your own!
Thus it will promote good health, peace, success and happiness throughout the globe.
Lets try it out.
11
Nature is the automated system that manages the eternal laws of life.
We are all just the followers of the laws of life by nature.
Who decides our birth? Who decides our powers? Who decides our death? Why we
can not breathe inside water? Why can not a fish breathe in open air? Who decides
natural calamities? And so on
We have to accept and also respect the fact that the laws of life are managed by nature
which is based on our own past actions as per Theory of Karma (Actions / Deeds).
We feel that we are the owners of nature and we can change anything and everything
as we please. Day by day we are moving forward towards our own destruction by
going against the laws of nature.
Set A:
I own everything. I am here to do whatever I please. I have full right to go against the
principles of nature and misuse it.
Set B:
I am Gods (Natures) representative. I respect principles of nature and I am here to
protect it.
Let us discuss the above philosophy with an example:
People belonging to Set A can find out medicines but they can never find a solution
for stopping diseases from coming into existence.
Set A will first develop medicine and then earn money to buy it. When Set A falls
sick he / she buys the medicine from the very money he / she has earned for it and
feels great because he / she has money to buy medicine to cure him / her from illness.
However people belonging to Set A are wrong because here people of Set B i.e.
Gods (Natures) representatives will never fall sick in the first place. So do they
actually need that money and those medicines? No.
The reason is that they take care of nature and so they are blessed by nature, which is
represented by our belief in Blessings of God (Nature). Set A is under the wrong
impression that they won against nature, but in actuality it was nature only who
decided that Set A would fall sick and Set B would not.
Let me clarify here that I DO NOT MEAN that medicines are of no use or Set B does
not require them at all. Even they may fall sick but the example I have given is
keeping in mind the impact of imbalance which we humans have created due to our
12
own short-term vision for life and the wrong way of defining success and happiness
which is based only on material pleasures and enjoyment of luxuries.
We have forgotten the most valuable spiritual values and principles to live life in a
detached way with the objective of serving others in a selfless state of mind while also
managing our material needs.
The increase in sea levels due to global warming, the thinning of ozone layer due to
excess pollution, the spread of diseases etc., all such problems are invited by no one
else but we humans. We cannot blame nature for causing natural calamities because it
is the responsibility of nature to react in a correct way to our wrong actions.
Laws of life by Nature are the final universal authority, which is represented by the
thought of God. Our belief in different names and / or forms of God (Nature) based
on different religions to which we belong, is just a thought that defines values,
principles, ethics and right practices. Few human beings represent the thought of God
(Nature) by spending their entire life in spreading the secrets of real and infinite
success, peace and happiness for all forms of lives across the universe!
So now which set of people would you like to belong?
Set A:
The one who first spoils the nature and then actually falls sick and feels great about it
because they were able to cure themselves with the medicines they produce, by
spending the money they earned by causing destructive development for their own
harassment and troubles and also to create the same for others.
Or
Set B:
Respect nature and care for it. Also take care of the God (Nature) inside you i.e. your
health, peace, values, ethics, principles and try earning neutrality and indifference to
the trap of extreme materialism to benefit all for eternal success and happiness alongwith
good health and peace.
13
I am not sure how many of us remember that there is a word known as Health.
H stands for Health and it stands for Happiness too.
Let me quote a very famous philosophy Health is Wealth.
Set A:
What is this Health? Anyway, I am very busy earning money and so I cannot afford
to waste my time on all these petty things.
Set B:
Health is a way of giving respect to God (Nature) by maintaining and improving it.
We have to maintain and care for the health of each living creature across the globe
including ourselves, to the maximum extent possible.
We all are owners of our own health. Ones respect to his / her health, in general, also
has an equal and parallel effect on others health as well.
We are born as human beings, who have higher mind power then other forms of lives.
Always remember that Power brings Responsibility. Therefore our first and highest
responsibility should be to respect the Health Management of all living creatures
including humans across the globe.
We keep struggling only for money and material development throughout our lives
which affects our health and that of others as we ignore it. Then when we suffer from
bad health we struggle to maintain our health by spending the same money.
Did the money we earn solve our problems or is it the very cause of those problems?
Let us understand this with an example based on Cause - Effect relationship:
Set A:
Cause: To give importance only to earning money and development and forget that
we are responsible for health management of all living creatures including us.
Effect: Income : xxxxx
Health : Very Poor
Pay for troubles : xxx
Net Happiness : xx, only in monetary terms
14
Set B:
Cause: To give priority to health management and then to money and development.
Effect: Income : xxx
Health : Best Possible
Pay for troubles : x
Net Happiness : Boundless real feeling, which cannot be
evaluated into monetary terms
We do not have to invest a lot of our time, energy and money in precautionary Health
Management. It hardly requires any efforts from our side. It is quite simple and
manageable along-with our routine day-to-day life.
Now it is upon us to set priorities in our lives and decide where we want to invest our
precious time and energy and the extent to which we should give importance to
different roles in our lives.
We can decide to become selfish and at the end spoil our own life and of others or we
can decide not only to maintain our own good health but also to allow others to ensure
the same.
15
Happiness is the most wonderful gift of life. However not everyone is able to realize
and experience it. The reason being many of us do not know how to define it.
Lets try to do so.
Set A:
Happiness is all about money, power and fame. Thats it!
Set B:
Happiness is all about achieving satisfaction, maintaining good health, having peace
of mind, to worship Godhead (Nature) by practicing Godliness i.e. making others feel
happy by our good efforts to spread love.
It also includes education, career, money etc. to manage our day to day material life
within the man made boundaries termed as Society and Economy and to meet
ones own rational level of Satisfaction.
Happiness and Satisfaction go hand in hand. Both are the two sides of a coin simply
made for each other. One cannot exist without the other.
Here comes the role of Psychology.
We all have a unique psychology, which makes us all think, talk and act differently.
However, today many of us are loosing control over our own psychology / emotions.
What has happened to our Mind? Why are we turning evil? Have we ever thought
about this? The reason is that we all get wrong guidance. We are on the wrong path.
Our goals of life are too inhuman and unnatural.
What are we struggling for in actuality? Is it money, power, sense of ownership over
natural resources / natural creatures other than human beings or in some irrational
psycho cases even over human beings? Are we turning into devils and trying to rule
and fight against the laws of life and nature itself?
Nature bestowed upon us such a wonderful and enjoyable gift of earth. What are we
giving it in return?
We are causing only pollution, waste and huge population etc.
We got such a wonderful experience of living life as a human being and what are we
doing with it?
We create and promote religious bias, wars, terrorism, power game, corruption,
materialistic comparison and extreme competition etc.
16
Do we have a Goal Sheet for our lives?
Majority of us have only few common, obvious and routine goals to be achieved like
success in education and career, money-making, getting married, having kids, then
again planning for kids education, their future and finally retirement planning etc. In
addition to these obvious goals, some have higher goals like accumulation of
enormous wealth, power and command.
We can define all these goals in a single word, which is Consumption because all
these goals ultimately link to consuming something or the other.
In todays world which is biased only towards blind run for materialization as a part
of the deceptive rat race, extreme consumerism alone has become the most important
and the only goal of everybodys life.
Why do we need so much of Consumption?
Should we not manage our own psychology or should we let the external artificial
environment to misguide and rule us, which is leading towards our own destruction?
Our psychology has become totally consumption driven. The word Satisfaction is
lost somewhere in the cutthroat competitive environment created by us.
Thus we spend our entire life without actually achieving something very great and
extraordinary apart from our routine day-to-day life, which can add true value to the
world at large for eternal bliss.
Why do we need terms like Fear or Insecurity?
Where there is no fear, there is happiness. We are responsible for our own happiness.
It is only we who can make us feel happy and no other factor or person can and even
should be deciding whether we ought to be happy or not.
The feelings of fear and insecurity are not pre-existing. It is we humans who gave
birth to these kinds of feelings. What is it that scares us or makes us feel insecure?
They are just feelings and nothing more than that. All the inhuman and unnatural
things we are doing to solve it is actually increasing the same negative feelings for
ourselves and others.
We always train our kids to compare and to compete with others. So indirectly we
are asking them to compare and compete with God (Nature) because in the end we all
are representatives of one God (Nature).
We are not enemies of each other. Hence the first thing which we should make our
kids understand is to become Neutral and Indifferent to the outside material
environment. Teach them to love, care, help, respect, cooperate, sacrifice and forgive
because Power is not a thing to be owned but it is a responsibility to be shared!
We all have limited time and power and it is only we who can decide for ourselves
how and in what we want to invest it.
17
Let us all shout loudly I AM HAPPY
Ask everybody to shout on top of his or her voices WE ALL ARE HAPPY
Let us all say We are here to be happy by making others feel happy and to feel the
highest level of satisfaction and achievement from it.
We own our psychology and we own our thoughts, speech and actions too. We are not
here to get biased and misguided by the deceptive psychology created by few evil
minded people by taking help of external man made artificial environment. God
(Nature) is within us and we are here to rule our own mind and we will not allow any
one else to control it.
We have only two goals in our life i.e. Happiness and Satisfaction, which can be
achieved only by two golden principles of Neutrality and Indifference towards the
materialistic environment. These two factors are our ultimate powers to win freedom
from the slavery of endless material desires and to achieve ever lasting success.
We deserve only happiness and not troubles. So why should we waste our time and
energy in getting troubled rather we should invest it in achieving happiness. Only we
can decide for ourselves whether we are happy or not and no one else can do so on
our behalf. God (Nature) is always there to bless and take care of us.
We are here to spread love and happiness and not to fight against nature and turn evil.
We are here to protect nature and not to own it. We are here to make God (Nature)
happy by ensuring that all feel happy because at the end each one of us is God
(Nature) because we all represent God (Nature).
IT IS NOT TOO LATE. WE CAN STILL BRING A MASSIVE DIFFERENCE
TO THE ENTIRE WORLD AND CONVERT IT INTO HEAVEN. LET US
TRY TO WIPE OUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EARTH, HEAVEN AND
HELL. LET THERE BE ONLY ONE PLACE LEFT AND THAT IS HEAVEN
WHICH IS NOWHERE ELSE BUT RIGHT HERE ON OUR EARTH ITSELF.
BUT THE ONLY THING WE NEED TO DO TO MAKE IT HAPPEN IS TO
GIVE A NEW BIRTH TO EARTH. LET US GIVE A NEW BIRTH TO
GODHEAD (NATURE) BY GIVING A NEW BIRTH TO OUR OWN SELF.
LET OUR EARTH BECOME LIKE HEAVEN.
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT THIS MOMENT ONWARDS!

This book is an attempt to learn the art of Lateral Thinking.
In this book we will try to understand the management principle of Lateral Thinking based on
the question Is Earth moving? in 2 pages!
3
Lets ask ourselves one question: Is earth moving around the sun?
Majority of us will immediately answer: Yes
Now lets try to answer one more question: Why do we say so?
Again majority of us will say: We all have been taught the same in our school curriculum
Lateral Thinking:
Lateral thinking can be defined as an art of solving issues or problems other than by using
conventional logic or methodology.
There are two major views on the movement of planets of our solar system.
GEOCENTRIC: Having Earth as the centre of our solar system.
HELIOCENTRIC: Having Sun as the centre of our solar system.
Few views on Cosmology i.e. Science of Universe:
According to one more view based on the combination of heliocentric view and the
Theory of General Relativity, which together may imply that the universe has no center.
According to another view the difference between a heliocentric theory and a geocentric
theory is one of relative motion only, and that such a difference has no physical
significance.
Most early civilizations had a geocentric view of the solar system whereas the
heliocentric view has been given much popularity only in the modern times.
It is also said that the fundamentals on which satellites are launched and operated also
support geocentric view.
Some are also of the opinion that earth can not move otherwise it can result into massive
earthquakes.
According to one more view the wind and so also clouds can move in any direction
which confirms applicability of geocentric view.
We humans invest a huge amount of our time, energy and money to find out various theories on
Cosmology.
However the Heliocentric theory has been given so much popularity that it is even included into
our school curriculum across the globe without referring to other theories!
4
Lets try to analyze it further:
Heliocentric view Vs. Astrology based on movement of planets:
The heliocentric view is negated by the science of astrology based on planetary movements.
In astrology earth is considered as stationary/motionless and other planets of the solar system
including the sun are considered as orbiting/moving around the earth.
Thus heliocentric view and astrology contradict each other.
Heliocentric view Vs. The Helicopter Experiment:
We all know the principle of Gravity. Now let us discuss an experiment where we intentionally
keep a helicopter motionless in air above the surface of earth i.e. against its gravitational force.
If the earth is rotating and also moving around the sun then the surface of earth below the
helicopter should change. However we can not see any change on the surface of earth below the
helicopter at any point of time.
Thus this Anti-Gravity experiment with the help of helicopter is in contrast with the heliocentric
view.
Heliocentric view Vs. The Running Train Experiment:
We all know that when we look outside from a running train the objects around the train also
appear to be moving to us including the ones which are actually still. This MAY be the reason
why satellite images depict earth as moving.
The reverse scenario is also possible where a person standing and watching the moving train
may believe that he himself is moving away from the train. This MAY be the reason with
telescopic views supporting the idea that earth is moving around the sun.
Is earth moving?
Lets think before we conclude!
The true leader will never say that I know this because I have been taught the same.
A true leader will always say that I am learning because I am improving and as we all believe
that learning is a never ending process so also improvement is an ongoing process!
Think lateral, believe in learning and keep improving!
5
I have tried to discuss the art of Lateral Thinking based on the point of discussion on whether
the earth is moving or not but ensuring that the whole discussion gets covered in just 2 pages
to make the best out of it in the minimum possible investment of our time!
