@ Bapu Kuti, A serene visit....

"Generations to come, it may well be, will scarce believe that such a man as this one ever in flesh and blood walked upon this Earth.”― Albert Einstein, On the occasion of Mahatma Gandhi's 70th birthday. 

I was wondering Einstein was admiring Gandhiji. A person who created atom bomb was looking respectfully to Mahatma. We created nothing but takes liberty to criticize anybody.  

Recently it happened that I got a chance to visit Bapu Kuti in Wardha district. It is just 120km away from home but took 34yrs for me to reach Sewagram, where Bapu lived and channelized most of his world amazing ideas. I was very sorry for me for being so late.

I entered the ashram and got lost in the simplicity. I was accompanied with my wife Bhoomika, son Veer, and my colleagues Doctors Samrat, Gauri, Yojana, Gayatri and Rahul Ambadkar. But I was in no hurry to move. Even my son felt it like home. At last simplicity always attracts.

Ashram was just adjacent to main road but on entering it seemed to be quite silent. The serenity and the presence of spirituality can be felt. The Bapu Kuti and Ba Kuti was the symbol of one’s basic need. It was saying as if this is much to live on this earth. The small windows were spreading the natural light from outside but it felt like divine. The experience was making me high spirited.

I was continuously thinking during the visit, how a person can really make others to take the batons of British army. He never thought of attack. He never replied with aggression. The sharpest weapon he had was Satyagraha and the mantra of ahimsa. Even today one can feel (if he wants to) the energy of these powerful things.

People had controversies about him. But I will say first implement all the deeds Mahatma did and then criticize the person. It’s really hard to implement pure truth in our daily life. So how can we measure the depth of Mahatma? 

Need of skills

Fresh Morning!!

As I was driving to my clinic, have a stop on traffic signal. As usual there were beggars who surround the people and ask for some rupee. There were two young chaps in front of me on a bike. One beggar went to them asking for some Alps. Instantly that young chap gave him a laminated certificate in beggars bowl. It seemed to be a board certificate which one gets on passing 12^th exam.

The beggar saw it and returned it to the young Chap. That Chap was saying that “you want something so I am giving my 12^th board certificate; it’s of no use to me”. Soon the situation was weird. Now the beggar was moving to other and the young chaps followed him forcing to take their documents. Getting irritated the beggar yelled, “kyu garib ka mazak udate ho sahab.” The Chap said “Mazak to hamare saath hua hai itna padh ne ke baad bhi koi job nahi deta. ”

This left me thinking of the positions of youth in India. I am also a professional and have knowledge to give medicines to diseased persons. There are many doctors who have knowledge but not able to use it. Why? I asked my selves.

In the world of competition the one who survives has to be best in skilled education than formal education. Yes, degrees won’t yield anything if they are not applied with skills of that individual. One is always forced to get the formal educations in India. But everyone doesn’t understand the importance of the skill one should posses. Keep working on your skills.

FRESH MORNING!!

Yes Fresh morning…. Recently I perceive the power of words on our life. You may say that we all know. But I am talking about the impact of it.

My best buddy is CISCO and is always on fire. He is suffering from IBS. Mostly when we talked I had seen him saying that he is sucked of the over responsibilities of family, friends and job pressure. He is executive and retains a big post. But he is not satisfied with what he is doing. Let it be. Some times in morning when he calls and start with “GOOD MORNING” wish. I use to respond him in my tone.

I found that mostly it’s me who is low at tone, and use to amaze on Vivek’s (my friend) voice. Soon we use to engorge in a talk in which Vivek use to reach his subconscious level and tell his problems. I felt it that discussing all the negatives will drain the energy of Vivek. Thus I started thinking on it.

During that period I was reading ‘The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari’ by Robin Sharma for 3^rd time. I am now habituated to wake in morning 5:30am. Daily I use to read the book in open in morning but that day I was thinking of Vivek. But as soon as I went out in open I felt freshness of morning. As I was buried in my thoughts, its freshness made me calm in a fraction of second. I was enlightened with fact what I was experiencing. Instantly I texted to Vivek ‘Fresh Morning’ and nothing further.

He didn’t reply. The very next morning I did the same text. This time after few hours he called and told me that what he felt. He was really feeling FRESH. His days started with a fresh mood. Now it is a regular text in morning. If I miss then he sends me the same text and nothing.

Now we both are enjoying the freshness. Try it or ask me if you wanna some help.

Thank you!
