what scientists are trying to prove has been known to wise people for ages; for example not to give too much importance to any one aspect of life or our own personality.
We train ourselves to live inside a box(called home, culture etc) and look at the world through a window and then try to find ways of stepping outside the box.
Is this what science is all about?
When will the scientists grow up?

Happiness for all
The source of all creation is one.
There is no other.
In sanskrit it is "Ekoham dvitiyo nasti".
Since there is nothing else to compare with,
We can also say that it all came out of nothing, zero, shoonya.
Thus we see that the basic building blocks are 0 and 1.
By the manipulation of these two numbers all creation can be understood and explained and all problems solved.
These two are the life breath of the binary system, which is the language of the computer.
As we have realised the power of the system and started using it, we are experiencing an explosion of possibilities.With the help of this we are now able to enter the virtual world.
Isn't this a spiritual explosion?
It is in deed one.
However, it is turning out to be the dance of the devil because we are forgetting the third player in this game, the one who plays with 0 and 1, the one who invents ways of deciphering the truth and communicating the whole world.
If we acknowledge the divine spirit behind all this and give it it's rightful place, we may yet convert this revolution as the engine of happiness for all.

Insights
I closed my eyes and sat quietly waiting for an insight to appear.
Nothing appeared for a long time.
all of a sudden I realised that the mind wasn't at all quiet.
It was waiting, hoping, pleading, cajoling for something profound.
This realisation about the mind, is it not an insight?
insights cannot be commissioned or ordered.

The Source
There are some principles that regulate the lives of individuals.
We as humans have been given the right to choose and the apparatus to do so.
If we choose wisely and live in consonance with the principles, we would be happy.
Unfortunately many of us choose to challenge and defy these principles.
Then our life becomes a "bhulbhülaiya", an illusory play of light and shade; happiness and suffering.
The same principles apply to organisations.
Organisations that choose to live by these principles, prosper and grow.
They also sow seeds of prosperity in the communities in which they are located.
Those that flaunt these principles become sick and eventually perish.
They also hurt the society at large.
How does one know these principles?
They are coded in the individual self which is at the core of each one of us.
The journey to the core is a holistic exploration.
It is a journey to the spirit,the soul and the source of wisdom.
Energy, beauty and grace reside at the core.
How can we fail if we operate from the source?

Values
Purpose is personal.
Values are universal.
Each one of us has taken birth to fulfill a specific mission in life.
It is the pursuit of this mission that adds meaningfulness to our life.
if we jettison the mission we have to pay a heavy price.
values represent the ground rules for all life.
They help to provide a sense of relatedness and coherence in the universe.
Without values organisations cannot flourish.
values provide a sense of worth, of usefulness.
They help us to know that we have through our presence made a difference for the better.
That our life has been worthwhile.

Self knowledge
If you have the answers to the following questions:
Who am I?
and
What is my mission in life?
Then nothing can tempt you or terrorise you.
You will always be on course.
You will be able to navigate through life gracefully.
Knowledge of the self cannot be obtained by the study of scriptures or by doing so called good deeds.
It is obtained by Swadhyay- self observation while being actively engaged in life.

Magnamity
Pettiness is anti-growth.
Petty people may create an illusion of growth and prosperity for a while. like bubbles They would soon burst.
Magnanimous people cannot but grow.
Nothing can come between them and success.
Those who come into contact with them will also grow.
Cultivate magnanimity.

Entrepreneurs never fail.
9 out of 10 start-ups would not be around in a year's time. These 9 who would fail are not entrepreneurs. They represent the get-rich-quick crowd.They jump on the latest bandwagon. They chase the latest fad.They believe that one can get rich without any effort.
Unfortunately the proportion of people in the general population who have no roots of their own and so are easily swayed is also about 9 in 10. So these speculators find a lot of succors. A bubble of affluence is thus created which soon bursts.
This has been going on since time immemorial.The crowd does not learn.
Entrepreneurs have self knowledge. They never fail.

Becoming One
When we prostate ourselves in front of God ( a symbolic surrender in totality) God bends down to lift us and takes us in a loving embrace,
Then the bhakta (devotee) and Bhagavan become one.

Being Creative
Being creative is our inherent nature. Let us just remember this fact.
It does not need to be released or boosted.
Avoid the temptation to copy, imitate, follow a role model, repeat.
These are all short cuts and they shred our basic nature, including being creative.

Experimentation
Experimentation is not the same as making mistakes or permission to make mistakes.
Before experimentation begins there is a pressing idea of a possibility. This does not allow one either to set it aside or just to discuss it. It initiates action.
This action is accompanied by keen observation; of the action itself and all the consequences, internal and external, material and spiritual that happen to take place. All this is meticulously noted, mentally and on paper. Finally it is shared with others who are also into experimentation.
This last part, sharing makes the learning a self perpetuating spiral.
