LOSE WEIGHT WITH YOUR MIND POWER !

     Wanna lose weight? But can't stop eating junk food? Is 'exercise' boring? No worries, you can use your mind power to lose weight!

     Your subconscious mind has the power to reduce your weight, it has the power to tone up your body! 

     Ask yourself whether you really want to reduce your weight, or you are not much concerned about it. Keep your motivation high.
Read my previous post about Self Hypnosis, so that I can skip the 'Preparation' and 'the technique' part.

    After visualizing few things, take a deep breath and relax! Now start thinking  about your body and talk to yourself..
I know that I love my body, I want to give my body the best food which it requires, I want to keep my body healthy and intact. I will have to have only healthy and nutritious food, I know that junk food does not serve any purpose, other than pumping fat into my body. Now I have also realized that I want to keep the junk food away from me...!!

      Now take a deep breath again and relax. Start visualizing.
Visualize early morning yourself in a park taking a brisk walk. Look at the lush green garden around you while you walk, feel the fresh air, look at the different flowers that have blossomed ! 

      You are sweating, relax for a while sitting on a bench with closed eyes.

     Instead of park you can also visualize a gymnasium where you do different exercises. Try to visualize in detail.. you may be on a treadmill or may be doing aerobics. Try to visualize in detail  different places of the gym listening to a rhythmic music.

     Now you are sweating. Relax for a while.

     Stand in front of a mirror and look at your dream body. Visualize a slim and trim body in detail even though you know that right now it is fictitious. But it is going to happen shortly !! Look at yourself at least for five minutes enjoying your slim body.

     Do this exercise for about twenty to thirty minutes, don't expect instant results but you will be happy to see whatever you have visualized is happening gradually!! 


     Once  you finish the exercise, count back from ten to one. Instruct your mind to wake up slowly as you count back.


         You can see the results in less than one month. It is amazing but true !

Self Hypnosis.

     What is Hypnosis? It is a 'trance state' where you directly deal with the subconscious mind. Hypnotism focuses and enhances your mind power. Hypnotist hypnotizes a person to get him into a trance. 

     During my practice, I hypnotized many people and used to give them post-hypnotic suggestions to solve their problems. Few of them wanted to have a post-hypnotic suggestion by which they can hypnotize themselves. i.e to get into the trance kind of state  through Self-hypnosis.

     Self hypnosis in simple words is hypnotizing yourself to change you, the way you want to be. You can change your thinking for your betterment, you can change your life style, you can get rid of mental and also physical disorders.It is an answer to anxiety, stress, depression and lot other problems related to mind. It can reduce your weight without any workouts ! 
Most important thing is that it relaxes you.

     There are few things you have to remember and do which helps you to step into the self hypnosis state. 

Preparation

     First explain to yourself what is the thing that you want to achieve through self hypnosis. It may be to get rid of a headache or may be to improve your memory or anything for that matter. Let the reason be clear.
 
      Wear comfortable clothes. Select a suitable place where you won`t be disturbed. Select a comfortable  chair to sit or may be a bed to lie down. But sitting is preferred as you may get into sleep when you lie down.

     Write a small black dot on the wall which shall be visible to you from your sitting position and should be at least four to five feet  above your eye level.   

     Beginners may have to dedicate at least twenty to thirty minutes to do this exercise.  

The technique 


     If you know about Yoga and meditation techniques it will be easier for you to get self hypnotized. 

     Relax your body, close your eyes...observe your body from inside.Focus your attention on your toes, gradually shift the focus from toes towards head imagining as if a light or energy is passing through the whole body. Let the travel inside be in detail and slow.

     Now open your eyes.. look at the black dot drawn an the wall without blinking your eyes. As you look at the dot, count back from hundred to one. Breath in and breath out slowly. While focusing on the dot you feel that your eyelids are becoming heavier and heavier. At one stage your eye lids closes automatically.

     Now feel the world inside.Try to visualize the things you like. Try to include your sense organs, for example if you are visualizing sun set at a beach, try to visualize that in detail..feel the cool breeze..listen to the sounds of the waves..look at the vibrant colors on the sky. Yes !!  you are in the beach !

     You can try one more experiment. Imagine that your body is becoming lighter and lighter.. so light.. it becomes as light as a feather..feel that it is moving slowly upwards... you can see the world from above..watch it as if you are watching it from an Aeroplane... Yes !! you are flying.

     Once  you finish the exercise, count back from ten to one. Instruct your mind to wake up slowly as you count back.

     Once you master the visualization techniques, you can suggest your mind whatever you want to achieve.

     I shall explain you how Self hypnosis can help to solve other problems in my future posts.

YES, I AM A PROUD HINDU

I would loved to be called as Human being or may be a Proud Indian, but some people provoke me to be called as a Hindu or may be a Proud Hindu ! YES! I am a Hindu, but not a fanatic. I respect all religions, I expect others to respect my Religion also. One of my friends, started criticising Hinduism.

' Thousands of Gods in your religion..it is totally confusing'.

He kick started the argument.

 'We know that there is only one God, "Ekam Brahma. dvithiya naste neh na nasthe kinchan" is what Brahma Sutra says, which means “There is only one God, not the second; not at all, not at all, not in the least bit.” I told him. 

'Then you are not following your own scriptures..that is wrong' was his counter.

'My dear friend do you know the beauty of Hinduism? My religion does not dictate terms..it gives you options instead.'

 Yajurveda says "Na tasya Pratima asti" means there is no image of Him. But my religion also allows me to worship God in any form.
My religion gives me the freedom to worship God in the way I want to worship. 

'Bhava' is an important word in Hinduism. 'Bhava' is nothing but feeling. My religion wants us to be connected with divine.
My religion simplifies the procedure. God is there not only to protect or help us, God is there to be loved..God is there to be felt.

 If you love your father, love God like your father. If you love your mother, love God like your mother. If you love your child, love him like your child. Your feelings will  be intensified when you feel him like whom you love the most in this world.' I replied.

'That means you Hindus keep on changing your religious texts, by which  you are insulting your original scripts' he asked.

'No..It allows you to update! Every thing will change in this world. Religious texts believed that the earth is in the centre and sun is moving around earth, can you buy that now? As the  technology is advancing there is a need to update every thing including religion. That doesn't mean that you are rejecting or insulting your religion.'

He changed the topic. 'What about Manu smrithi, I can quote few lines from that which are inhuman.'

I got little irritated not because it was a right question but because it was irrelevant. I told him ' I want to take good things from all religions.  I want the essence, I want the cream!  If you want to find fault, you can find fault in each and everything. Forget it, now listen to me. I want to tell you why I am a proud Hindu..

My religion says  "Sarve Janah Sukhino Bhavantu"
means let every one be happy, my religion does not say let only our people be happy.  
  
My religion says  "Yatra naryastu pujyante ramante tatra Devatah.." means God will be pleased where women are respected.


My religion teaches me to respect and worship nature.

My religion teaches me to respect my parent, to respect my teacher. 

Do you want to hear more about my religion?' I asked him.

'Before that, I want ask you one more question.. what about Caste system in your religion? Do you endorse that?' He asked.

I said 'I don't  accept discrimination in any form.What is caste system? do you know what it is ?

The argument continued... I will write about it in my next post..

WHY MEDITATION ?

     Meditation is concentration or focusing or emptying your thoughts.
     You do physical exercises to tone up your body, Meditation is there to tone up your mind.
     It is like emptying your mind or focusing on one thing, either way it is concentration.
     Hectic schedules...stressful day`s work ....why again stress or strain your mind to focus or concentrate?
     It is the opposite. It is not that you are stressing out more, it is that.. you are relaxing !!.
     It is always difficult to concentrate..but still if you master the technique of focusing it helps you in your real life too.Whether you are a theist or an atheist, it is irrelevant!

What is to concentrate?
     If you are a theist concentrate on the God you believe, if you are an atheist you can concentrate on any thing. Before meditating better concentrate on your breathings....inhale slowly and feel the positive energy as you are breathing in...exhale slowly pushing the negative energy out, as you are breathing out.
     Mind is always wandering...let it be, but slowly ask your mind to calm down. If you are disturbed with unwanted thoughts, set them aside..give all those unwanted thoughts a bench to sit and cool down, but you keep on concentrating on one focus point 

How to Meditate?
     First and foremost requirement is  'sthira sukham asanam' that is a comfortable position..a posture you can sit or lie down for hours together.
     Close your eyes to disconnect yourself from the visions of outer world. Observe your breath..just concentrate on your breath. Relax!!
     If you are a theist pray your God, ask the divine to help you to concentrate. If you are an atheist ask your mind to help you. 
Now try to move your attention towards the middle of your eyebrow, just concentrate there and relax.
     Meditate  only when you feel the time is appropriate for you. Make sure you are relaxed and comfortable. Choose a convenient  place too.  

Meditation techniques. 
     when you try to concentrate on one particular thing, you realize it is not that easy! Your mind keeps on flooding with different thoughts. Numerous techniques  are there to help you. I shall explain you a technique which I practiced.
Thrataka
     Take a small lamp. Light it and see that the flame is blue and small. Let the meditation room be small and calm. Close all the windows and door, no light should enter the room. Let it be pitch dark. Now concentrate on the flame without closing your eyes. The eyelids will become heavier and heavier. Still hold it and try not to close it. Don`t bother about tears. 
     At one stage, eyelids will become so heavy they close automatically. Then visualize the blue flame with eyes closed. The shape of the flame may vary. Just keep on concentrating the flame. Practice daily. After few weeks, you will realize that your concentration has improved. 
     Later you can try visualizing different objects after closing your eyes. Visualize each and every detail of the object you are visualizing. If you are a theist, you can visualize your God and feel that you are with him. Soon you will be the Master of this technique.

     I shall explain you the benefits of Meditation in my future write ups.

Note :  Thrataka Technique not only helps you to concentrate but also improves your eye sight.








 

Heal yourself without Medicine..

'Headache'
'Take a tablet.. It only costs you a penny.'
Hey, wait a minute, your body knows how to heal. It's not the question of a penny, but it's about not allowing your body to do it's job.
The moment something goes wrong in your body, your body automatically starts repairing it.By taking medicine for each and every small problem, you are not allowing your body to function on its own. By using Mind Power you can optimize the body mechanism.
Believe me, you can cure most of the diseases on your own.
Whenever you have fever, headache, joint pain.... Try this.
Give complete rest to your body. Don`t do any work. Don`t watch TV. Don`t even sign in to your social network accounts. Sometimes that may be more stressful.
Drink ample amount of water to keep the metabolism in order. Keep a strict control on your diet. Take only light or liquid food that is easily digestible.
The next and most important step is to use the powers of Mind. Your thinking process helps you a lot to recover from illness. You should have a positive mindset. You should believe that you can heal it by yourself.
I was affected by Gangrene (a small extra growth of flesh with decomposed body tissues) on my wrist. Our family doctor Dr. Krishnamurthy diagnosed it.He told my mother that it can be removed by a minor operation.Unwilling this, I decided to get rid of the gangrene using Mind power.

How to use the Mind power?

Keep telling this to your self  'I am going to come out of this illness. My mind with its power is going to heal. Yes, I am feeling better and better'. Keep on repeating the suggestion while you relax. This works.
Another interesting method which I follow most of the time is visualizing energy. I used this technique to burn my gangrene.
It is  a simple exercise in which you need to have a relaxed state of mind and body. Let me explain the technique now.
Supposing you have severe headache and want to get rid of it using mind power...
Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Breathe slowly for about 2-3 minutes. Keep your right hand on your chest. Now breathe in slowly. While breathing in, imagine your heart is filled with bright light which is a powerful healer.
Now hold your breath and imagine that you are transferring the light from your heart to the hand.  Now slowly take out your right hand and keep it on your head. While doing this imagine that you are carrying the powerful light in your hand. Keeping your hand on your head  breath out slowly. While breathing out imagine that you are transferring the light from your hand to your head. Try to visualize the 'inside' of your head is filled with the powerful light. repeat this for 8-10 times. Then relax and sleep. When you get up you experience a fresh feel.which has long waived off the headache.
The stronger you imagine and visualize, the greater will be the result.

UNLOCK YOUR MIND POWER

     Power of mind is amazing. The Mind power is not exploited in its totality. Most of the People are unaware of the potential of subconscious mind. It is like we have a Treasury, which is locked. We don`t even know that we have so much wealth. It is hidden.

If you know how to train your subconscious mind, your life style will change. Also it gives you success in your life.

     Subconscious mind is very powerful, yet is like an innocent baby. It believes without questioning. In day to day life we plan our schedules. We go to places, meet people, get the job done as per our plans. When you dream big and to achieve that, you need to train your subconscious mind. But to train your subconscious mind, you need to put some efforts. Now let me explain how to train your subconscious mind.

     People say they have lot of problems. But most of them do not know what the exact problem is. Make a habit of writing daily affairs in a dairy. Write down everything you experience and your emotions too. Some people might have hurt you.. some might have made you happy.. you might have felt sad. . Write down everything.  After few days,  go through the pages and try to analyze yourself. Check out  your weak points as well as strong points. Figure out where you behaved in a positive manner and where in a negative manner. Find out your real problem that is disturbing you most of the time.

     Take a sheet of paper. Write down your problem. For example, Most of the time you may feel you are hurt. Now Focus on this problem.Try to figure out the reason behind it. May be you talk too much.. may be you care a lot.. may be you don`t care at all.. or may be people around you are trying to dominate you.. may be they are trying to humiliate you for ego reasons.Now try to get an answer, thinking rationally without being biased.You may find the solution.

In case you don`t get a perfect answer/solution, may be your ego is a hurdle, which is justifying your wrong acts.Then  you can depend on your subconscious mind. Ask your mind repeatedly to give a perfect solution. 

     Sounds crazy? But soon you will realize that your mind itself is capable of solving problems.You need not depend on others.

Visualization

     This is a very powerful tool to train your subconscious mind. You can achieve your goals or dreams and can be successful with this technique. Imagination and day dreaming may motivate you, but Visualization gives you the result.  

     Before visualizing your big dreams, train your subconscious mind with visualization technique.

     Here it is how you can go.Take out 10-15 minutes from your daily schedule, if you are too busy do it before sleeping. Sit or sleep in a comfortable position. Close your eyes.Think of anything which you may like.May be it is sunrise over a hill..  may be having lunch at your favorite place. . or  may be anything.Visualize that as if you are watching a movie, as if it is happening and as if it is real. Try to see the objects as clearly as possible with each and everything in detail.

     After you get control over this, try to include your sense organs in the visualization process.For example, Hear the sound.. feel  the fresh air.. smell the fragrance.. make the feel  real as much as possible.

     It may take some time to master  this.Once you get control over visualization, try to visualize your dreams or goals. Visualize as if your dreams have already come true. For example,  If you want to become a popular movie star, visualize as if you are already a star.. your movie is released..huge crowd in front of the theatre.. people are rushing to have your autograph. . you are treated as a celebrity!!

Do the visualization process repeatedly and see the dreams come true.Believe me it happens.

     The trick is.. Subconscious mind will act upon your visualization and finds out all possible ways to achieve that.

     This may sound silly.. but it works in  reality.

                                 Never underestimate the power of Mind !!

FAITH - How it works.

I wrote about 'Faith' in my last blog.
Yes, faith in God can do wonders, it can do miracles.
I also said God is neutral, he neither helps you nor betrays you.
Sounds contradictory right? Let me analyze this.
Before that....

If you are a theist, a believer in God, I recommend you not to go through the analysis.
The best thing is to stick to one belief, have hundred percent faith in it and get the things done.
More you read about God, the more you try to analyze God, 'God' moves away from you.
You should blindly believe in God. I am using the word 'blindly believe' deliberately, because God is a power unseen.

Now it's time to analyze. How does faith in God works?
Before answering this I would like to explain a little bit about Mind.
You know about conscious mind and sub conscious mind, but you don't know how it works as far as faith is concerned.

Let me try to explain this complicated subject in a simpler way.
Conscious mind accepts things which are endorsed by sense organs. For example if  I say 'here is an Apple',  your conscious mind accepts or believes it only by seeing, smelling or at least by touching it.
But your subconscious mind does not require the endorsement of sense organs, it just believes. It believes hundred percent.

When I hypnotize people, I tell them 'here is an Apple' showing my empty hand. Hypnotized people see that, they feel it, they even enjoy eating it.
But in reality there will be nothing.
Sub conscious has the power to visualize and it can give you satisfaction of having it for real.
If your conscious mind believes hundred percent, it behaves exactly like subconscious mind. Yes. It is an illusion!
Of course illusion does not give you concrete results, But gives you mental satisfaction.
The power ofsub conscious  is not confined only to illusions.. it has the power to convert the belief into reality.
When you believe something strongly, your sub conscious mind gives you immense will power, self confidence and it finds out different ways to achieve what you wanted to achieve.
The power of mind is unimaginable, there is no frame of restriction to that.
Your mind can create illusions, it has control over your body, it creates short cuts to achieve your goal.

Coming back to the concept of God, it always works if you are a firm believer. Faith in ourselves also can do miracles but it should be hundred percent. We say 'I believe in myself ', but we don't. We say ‘I have self confidence' ,but  we don't have. Because your mind knows your limitations too.
You never attribute negative qualities to God, hence faith in God works in a better way.
Whether God is there Or not, whether you believe and have faith in idol worship or in the almighty power(without any form) does not matter,
IT IS FAITH THAT ULTIMATELY WORKS..
Even if you trust a fake master(Guru), it works if your faith is not fake.
Its YOU and YOUR FAITH that works for you.
God is like a knife. You can either use it to kill someone or you can use it to operate a person to save his life.
Knife can neither kill nor save, but you can.

'GOD’ CAN SAVE YOU!!

In my previous post I had written ‘God neither helps us nor betrays us.He remains neutral.
      Now I am telling God can save you! He can help you!!
It is possible because of your Faith,belief and trust in God. Might sound cliche to you,but it really does.
      All religious texts stress the importance of FAITH.
      According to the Bible, faith is your belief in the one, true God without actually seeing Him.
    ‘Therefore I tell you,whatever you ask for in prayers, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.' MARK 11 :24.    
     The Qur`an states by remembering God, Faith can grow,and that nothing in this world should be dearer to a true believer than faith.         Vedas praises faith, belief and dedication. Swami Chinmayananda has summarized it ‘Faith is to believe what you do not see, The reward of faith is to see what you believed.'
     Hence all religious texts reflects the importance of faith and belief in God to achieve your goals.
     All theists say ‘we have faith in God, in God we trust. We believe our God.’ Yes.. if they have 100% faith and belief in what they say they are rewarded with their wishes. But the question is do they have hundred percent faith in God ? They say they believe hundred percent in God. They pray to God. But they don`t leave it to God alone.. they try different measures also to solve their problems.. I don`t say it is wrong. But it proves that it is very difficult to have hundred percent faith in God.
     Faith and belief can give you Self Confidence and Will Power. There are numerous examples where in the incurable diseases have been cured by strong faith challenging the Medical Science. A skinny person can defeat a muscular guy in a fight if he strongly believes.
     Here is a small story..
    ‘Chant my name crossing the river. You won`t drown..’ said the Master (Guru) to his disciple. The disciple just followed his Master`s words and walked through the flooding river chanting his Master`s name.
    ‘Oh! My name itself has so much of power. I might be a Godman’ wondered the Master. Chanting his own name the Master too tried to walk through the river. But alarmingly the Master drowned.
    The essence of the story is - The disciple who believed his master`s words 100% created a miracle where as Master without having faith in himself got drowned.
    Another example..
    Master gives initiation to two of his desciple and asks them to chant the ‘manthra’ ten thousand times and he assures them they realize God by doing so..
    Suppose one of the disciple has hundred percent faith and belief towards his Master, he is bound to realize God. Whereas another disciple`s conscious mind does not believe hundred percent of what master said, won`t be able to realize God. 
    The main intention of religious texts or Masters is to create hundred percent faith in the believers.
    So faith can do wonders.. faith can do miracles.
    But still I reiterate what I had written in previous post ‘God is Neutral.. He neither helps us nor betrays us.’
    Then the question arises How faith in God can do miracles? Why the 'FAITH' in 'GOD' is the most powerful than other faiths? And how the faith succeeds only when it is 'GOD' and not  in myself or others?
    What is the logical answer for this? I will give you a detailed explanation of how this works in my next post.

CAN GOD SAVE US ?

CAN GOD SAVE US?

Can God really help us? Everyday millions of people pray to God, asking him to grant their wishes. "Please help me.. my dear God!" they say. Will God really listen to you and revert your sweet call?

Who is 'GOD' ?

All holy scriptures agree that GOD is almighty and omnipotent. The scriptures also agree that 'He' is the creator of our beautiful universe! Ergo it means that he is the proud creator and we are his children.

Theists believe God supports them through difficult times.. They pray, they worship,they offer. Most of them believe God listen to their prayers and help them.

Atheists, although don`t believe in the 'God' concept, agree that some unknown power does exist, which is beyond our measure and way beyond us. They definitely are aware of the power of nature.They believe that there is some power within us, which holds the light of life aloft us and Until that power is within us, we shall live!

What do the Vedas say about GOD?

Vedas categorise GOD as "TATH" meaning "that", which implies that God is neither male nor female. According to the Advaita philosophy, GOD is formless (niraakaara),without qualities (Nirguna) non-emotional(nirvikalpa) and non-biased(Nishpaksha). It neither has a beginning nor an end (Adyanthya rahitha). So it is not possible for this power (God) to differentiate one person from another, it does not know to discriminate. Hence it leaves an equal impact on all.

       When a tsunami hits, atheists, theists, saints, robbers, likewise everybody dies.Nobody is spared. 'The good' and 'the bad' is something that we have attributed as qualities with the concept of "civilized" society in mind. We label things which makes us happy as good and things that give us pain as bad. 'Good' and 'Bad' are relative terms.

           Having said this,let's now throw some light on the 'GOD' that most of the theists believe will help them..

      Say for a second.. if I imagine myself as the GOD, the first imagery that hits my eyes, would be that of the millions who pray to me.

      Among them are people whom the "society" has recognized as thieves, robbers, generous donors, lawyers, devotees, saints, daily wage workers, beggars. Likewise a humongous group itself is standing before me. All of them are my children!!

      Among whom one is a devotee, but a robber by profession. He is praying to me. He says 'Oh God, my mother is suffering on her deathbed and I don`t have a single penny to save her! She too back then did not have a single penny to afford my education. Nobody was ready to give me a job. So becoming a robber became inevitable for me. By fighting with the tantalizing venoms of poverty and hardwork, she has struggled to save me. Now it is my turn to return the favour. You are the most merciful, hence only you can empathize with me in my pain, so I pray to you, dear God, to make sure that no one would catch me while i commit this sin.'

     The man waiting to catch him in the act happens to be my other devotee, a Police officer who stands for loyalty. He on the other hand prays to me saying 'I want to catch him at any cost today, please bless me with success in my endeavour. He is a thief,a betrayer and an anti social element. To arrest him, cut his wings and push him in prison, dear GOD, please do help me.'

       Now,whose desire am I to fulfill? Which wish should I grant?

      This society itself is the reason for a thief to be a thief and a police officer to be a police officer. One is poor and the other rich. Both have problems, both are my children! At the same time both have strong reasons to back their prayers.

Being 'GOD' how can I judge and settle this?

     Thus if God seeks to benefit one, it may cause loss to the other. What we see as 'good' and 'bad' does not bother him. Neither does he help us nor does he betray us. He remains neutral.

    One question that might continue to haunt you after reading this could be..

'But when we have prayed him, God has really done us wonders! The "GOD" whom I believed in has not left me  when in trouble, in fact I myself have witnessed miraculous incidents! How is this possible then?'

It is possible!!  How??

I will write about it in my next post.

Devare nannannu kaapadu.

ದೇವರೇ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡು..
      ದೇವರು ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡಬಲ್ಲನೇ ? ಪ್ರತಿದಿನ ಕೊಟ್ಯಾಂತರ ಜನ ದೇವರಲ್ಲಿ ತಮ್ಮ ಇಷ್ಟಾರ್ಥ ಸಿದ್ಧಿಗಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನೆ ಮಾಡುತ್ತಾರೆ, ನಮಗೆ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದನ್ನು ಮಾಡಪ್ಪಾ ಎನ್ನುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಈ ಎಲ್ಲರ ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥನೆಗೆ ದೇವರು 'ಓ'ಗೊಡುತ್ತಾನೆಯೇ?
      ಈ ದೇವರು ಯಾರು? ಎಲ್ಲ ಧರ್ಮಗ್ರಂಥಗಳು ದೇವರನ್ನು ಸರ್ವಶಕ್ತ ಎಂದು ಒಪ್ಪುತ್ತವೆ. ಈ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಯ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಕರ್ತ  ಅವನೇ ಎನ್ನುವುದನ್ನೂ ಒಪ್ಪುತ್ತವೆ. ಅಂದ ಮೇಲೆ ಈ ಜಗತ್ತಿನ ಒಡೆಯ ದೇವರು, ನಾವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಅವನ ಮಕ್ಕಳು .
      ದೇವರನ್ನು ನಂಬದ ನಾಸ್ತಿಕರು ಕೂಡ ತಮ್ಮ ಅಂಕೆಯಲ್ಲಿಲ್ಲದ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಮೀರಿದ ಆಘಾದವಾದ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಇರುವುದನ್ನು ನಂಬುತ್ತಾರೆ. ಪ್ರಕೃತಿಶಕ್ತಿಯ ಅರಿವಂತೂ ಅವರಿಗೆ ಇದ್ದೇ ಇರುತ್ತದೆ. ನಮ್ಮಲ್ಲಿ ಯಾವೊದೋ ಒಂದು ಶಕ್ತಿ ಇದೆ, ಅದು ಇರುವವರೆಗೂ ನಾವು ಜೀವಂತವಾಗಿ ಇರುತ್ತೇವೆ  ಎನ್ನುವುದನ್ನೂ ಒಪ್ಪುತ್ತಾರೆ.
       ಆಸ್ಥಿಕರು ನಂಬುವ 'ದೇವರ' ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಒಂದಷ್ಟು ಚಿಂತಿಸೋಣ. ಒಂದು ಕ್ಷಣ ನಾನೇ ದೇವರು ಅಂದುಕೊಂಡರೆ... ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿ ಬೇಡುವ ಕೋಟಿ ಕೋಟಿ ಮಂದಿ ನನ್ನ ಕಣ್ಣ ಮುಂದೆ ಬರುತ್ತಾರೆ.
       ಅವರಲ್ಲಿ 'ಸಮಾಜ' ಗುರುತಿಸಿದ ಕಳ್ಳರು, ದರೋಡೆಕೋರರು, ಕೊಡುಗೈ ದಾನಿಗಳು, ನ್ಯಾಯವಾದಿಗಳು ಇತರರಿಗೆ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡುವವರು, ಭಕ್ತರು, ಸಂತರು, ಕೂಲಿ ಮಾಡುವವರು, ಭಿಕ್ಷೆ ಬೇಡುವವರು...ಹೀಗೆ ಹಲವು ಮಂದಿಯ ದೊಡ್ಡ ಗುಂಪೇ ಎದುರಿಗೆ ನಿಂತಿದೆ.. ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ನನ್ನ ಮಕ್ಕಳೇ !  
       ಒಬ್ಬ ಭಕ್ತ ಆದರೆ ವ್ರತ್ತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಳ್ಳ, ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿ ಬೇಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದಾನೆ.
       'ಮರಣಶಯ್ಯೆಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ನನ್ನ ತಾಯಿಯನ್ನು ಉಳಿಸಲು ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿ ಹಣವಿಲ್ಲ..ನನಗೆ ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಕೊಡಲು ಅವಳ ಬಳಿ ಹಣವಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ..ನನಗೆ ಯಾರೂ ಕೆಲಸ ಕೊಡಲಿಲ್ಲ..ಕಳ್ಳನಾಗುವುದು ನನಗೆ ಅನಿವಾರ್ಯವಾಗಿತ್ತು..ಹೊಟ್ಟೆಗೆ ಬಟ್ಟೆ ಕಟ್ಟಿ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡಿದ್ದಾಳೆ..ಈಗ ಆಕೆಯನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡುವುದು ನನ್ನ ಕರ್ತವ್ಯ..ನೀನು ಕರುಣಾಮಯಿ.. ನಿನಗೆ ನನ್ನ ನೋವು ಅರ್ಥವಾಗುತ್ತದೆ..ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ನಾನು ಕಳ್ಳತನ ಮಾಡುವಾಗ ಯಾರ ಕೈಗೂ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿಹಾಕಿಕೊಳ್ಳದಂತೆ ನನ್ನನ್ನು ಕಾಪಾಡು.' 
        ಅವನನ್ನು ಹಿಡಿಯಲು ಕಾದಿರುವ ನನ್ನ ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬ ಭಕ್ತ, ನಿಷ್ಠಾವಂತ ಪೋಲಿಸ್ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿ ನನ್ನ ಬಳಿ ಬೇಡುತ್ತಾನೆ 'ಈ ದಿನ ಹೇಗಾದರೂ ಅವನನ್ನು ಬಂಧಿಸುವಲ್ಲಿ ನನಗೆ ಯಶಸ್ಸು ಸಿಗಲಿ ದೇವರೇ..ಆತ ಸಮಾಜಘಾತುಕ, ದ್ರೋಹಿ, ಕಳ್ಳ.. ಆತನನ್ನು ಬಂಧಿಸಿ ಹೆಡೆಮುರಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಜೈಲಿಗೆ ತಳ್ಳಲು ನನಗೆ ನೆರವಾಗು ತಂದೇ.'    
       ಈಗ ನಾನು ಯಾರ ಬೇಡಿಕೆ ಈಡೇರಿಸಲಿ ? ಕಳ್ಳನು ಕಳ್ಳನಾಗಲು ಈ ಸಮಾಜವೇ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ. ಪೋಲಿಸ್, ಪೋಲಿಸ್ ಅಧಿಕಾರಿಯಾಗಲೂ ಈ ಸಮಾಜವೇ ಕಾರಣವಾಗಿರುತ್ತದೆ.
       ಇನ್ನೊಂದೆಡೆ ಒಬ್ಬ ಬಡವ, ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬ ಶ್ರೀಮಂತ. ಇಬ್ಬರಿಗೂ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳೇ.. ಇಬ್ಬರೂ ನನ್ನ ಮಕ್ಕಳೇ ! ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ಅವರವರ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗೆ ಅವರದ್ದೇ ಆದ ಬಲಿಷ್ಠ ಕಾರಣಗಳಿವೆ. 
       ದೇವನಾದ ನಾನು ಈ ಪಂಚಾಯ್ತಿಗೆ ಕುಳಿತರೆ ಅದು ಸಾದ್ಯವೇ? ಇದು ಒಂದೆಡೆ ಇರಲಿ.
       ಈಗ ವೇದಾಂತ ದೇವರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಏನು ಹೇಳುತ್ತದೆ ನೋಡೋಣ.
       ದೇವರನ್ನು 'ತತ್ '  ಅಂದರೆ 'ಅದು' ಎನ್ನುತ್ತದೆ ವೇದಾಂತ. ಅದು ಹೆಣ್ಣೂ ಅಲ್ಲ ಗಂಡೂ ಅಲ್ಲ. ಅದ್ವೈತ ಸಿದ್ದಾಂತದ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ದೇವರು ಆದ್ಯಂತ ರಹಿತ, ನಿರಾಕಾರ, ನಿರ್ಗುಣ, ನಿರ್ವಿಕಲ್ಪ. ಅಂದ ಮೇಲೆ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಆದಿಯೂ ಇಲ್ಲ ಅಂತ್ಯವೂ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಅದು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದೂ ಅಲ್ಲ ಕೆಟ್ಟದ್ದೂ ಅಲ್ಲ. ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಯಾವ ರೂಪ ಭಾವನೆಗಳೂ ಇಲ್ಲ.
       ಈ ಶಕ್ತಿಗೆ ಒಂದು ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯಿಂದ ಇನ್ನೊಂದು ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಗೆ ವ್ಯತ್ಯಾಸ ಮಾಡಲು ಸಾಧ್ಯವಿಲ್ಲ,ತಾರತಮ್ಯ ಆ ಶಕ್ತಿಗೆ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ. ಎಲ್ಲರ ಮೇಲೂ ಅದು ಸಮಾನ ಪ್ರಭಾವ ಬೀರುತ್ತದೆ. 
       ಸುನಾಮಿ ಬಂದಾಗ ಆಸ್ತಿಕರು, ನಾಸ್ತಿಕರು, ಸಂತರು, ಕಳ್ಳರು..ಹೀಗೆ ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಕೊಚ್ಚಿಕೊಂಡು ಹೋಗುತ್ತಾರೆ. 
      ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು, ಕೆಟ್ಟದ್ದು ಇವೆಲ್ಲ  ನಾವು ನಾಗರೀಕ ಸಮಾಜದ ಕಲ್ಪನೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡ ಗುಣಗಳು. ನಮಗೆ ಹಿತ ನೀಡುವುದು ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು, ನಮಗೆ ಕಿರಿಕಿರಿ ಉಂಟುಮಾಡುವುದು ಕೆಟ್ಟದ್ದು. Good and Bad are relative terms.
       ದೇವರು ಒಬ್ಬನಿಗೆ ಲಾಭ ಮಾಡಿ ಕೊಟ್ಟರೆ ಅದು ಇನ್ನೊಬ್ಬನಿಗೆ ನಷ್ಟವಾಗಬಹುದು. ನಾವು ನಮಗಾಗಿ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಂಡ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು ಕೆಟ್ಟದ್ದು 'ದೇವರ' ದೃಷ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು ಅಥವಾ ಕೆಟ್ಟದ್ದು ಅಲ್ಲ. ಎಲ್ಲರ ಬೇಡಿಕೆಗೂ ದೇವರು ನಿರ್ಲಿಪ್ತನಾಗೇ ಇರುತ್ತಾನೆ. ಯಾರಿಗೂ ಸಹಾಯ ಮಾಡಲಾರ .  
       ಹಾಗಾದರೆ ದೇವರನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸಿ ನಮಗೆ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದಾಗಿದೆಯಲ್ಲ? ಪವಾಡ ಸದೃಶ ಘಟನೆಗಳು ನಡೆದಿವೆಯಲ್ಲ? ನಂಬಿದ ದೇವರು ಕಷ್ಟಕಾಲದಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಕೈ ಬಿಡಲಿಲ್ಲವಲ್ಲ? ಅದು ಹೇಗೆ?
       ಇದಕ್ಕೆ ಉತ್ತರ ಮುಂದಿನ ಬರಹದಲ್ಲಿ ನೀಡುತ್ತೇನೆ.

ಜೀವ ಯಾವ ಕುಲ ?

1968 - ನಾನಾಗ ಎರಡನೆಯ ಕ್ಲಾಸಿನ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿ. ಭಾರತಕ್ಕೆ ಸ್ವಾತಂತ್ರ್ಯ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿ 
ಬರೋಬ್ಬರಿ ೨೦ ವರ್ಷಗಳೇ ಉರುಳಿ ಹೊಗಿದ್ದವು. ೨೧ನೇ ವರ್ಷಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾಲಿಡುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಸಮಯ.
       ರಜಾದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮಂಗಳೂರಿನ ರಥಬೀದಿಯಲ್ಲಿರುವ ನಮ್ಮ ಅಜ್ಜಿಯ ಮನೆಗೆ 
ಹೋಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ಕಾಲವದು. ಅಜ್ಜಿ-ಅಜ್ಜನ ಪ್ರೀತಿ, ಓರಗೆಯ ಮಕ್ಕಳೊಂದಿಗೆ ಆಟ, ಅಜ್ಜಿ ಮಾಡಿಟ್ಟ ಚಕ್ಕುಲಿ-ಕೋಡುಬಳೆಗಳನ್ನು ಸವಿಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ದಿನಗಳವು. ನೆನಪೇ ಮಧುರ.  ಆದರೆ.. 
        ಅಜ್ಜಿಯ ಮನೆ. ಮನೆಯ ಹಿಂದೊಂದು ದನಗಳ ಕೊಟ್ಟಿಗೆ. ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದ ಅನತಿ ದೂರದಲ್ಲಿ ಸಾಲಾಗಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿದ ಏಳು ಶೌಚಾಲಯಗಳು (ಅಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ಏಳು ಮನೆಗಳಿಗಾಗಿ). ಆಗ ಇಂದಿನಂತೆ ಆಧುನಿಕ ಶೌಚಾಲಯಗಳಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಅಂದಿನ ಶೌಚಾಲಯಗಳ ಸ್ವರೂಪವೇ ಬೇರೆ. ಅದು ಎತ್ತರದಲ್ಲಿದ್ದು ಕೆಳಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಗಲೀಜು ಗುಡ್ಡೆಯಂತೆ ಶೇಖರವಾಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಇಂದಿನಂತೆ ಫ್ಲಶ್ ಮಾಡಿದರೆ ಸ್ವಚ್ಛವಾಗುವ ಅನುಕೂಲಗಳಿರಲಿಲ್ಲ. 
         ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಎಂದಿನಂತೆ ಬೆಳಿಗ್ಗೆ ಶೌಚಾಲಯಕ್ಕೆ ಹೋದೆ. ಮೂಗು ಕಟ್ಟಿ ಕುಳಿತು ಕೊಳ್ಳುವ ಸನ್ನಿವೇಶ. ನಾನು ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರಾಥಃವಿಧಿ ನಡೆಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದಂತೇ ಕೆಳಗೆ ಗುಂಡಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇದ್ದಕ್ಕಿದ್ದಂತೇ ಎರಡು ಕೈಗಳು ಪ್ರತ್ಯಕ್ಷವಾಗಿ ತಗಡಿನ ತುಂಡೊಂದರಿಂದ ಶೇಖರವಾಗಿದ್ದ ಗಲೀಜನ್ನು ಬಾಚುತ್ತಿದ್ದವು (ಆ ಶೌಚಾಲಯಗಳ ಕೆಳಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಹಿಂಬದಿಯಿಂದ ಕಿಂಡಿಗಳಿರುತ್ತಿದ್ದವು). ಅದನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದೊಡನೆ ನನ್ನ ದ್ವಾರಗಳೆಲ್ಲ ಬಂದ್ ಆದವು. ಏಕೆಂದರೆ ಇನ್ನು ನಾನು ಮುಂದುವರೆಸಿದರೆ ಆತನ ಕೈ ಮೇಲೆ ಗಲೀಜು ಬೇಳಬೇಕಾಗುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಹೊರಗೆ ಬಂದು ತೊಟ್ಟಿಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದ ನೀರಿನಿಂದ ಶುಚಿಭ್ರೂತನಾಗಿ ಅಜ್ಜಿಯ ಮನೆ ಕಡೆ ಹೆಜ್ಜೆ ಹಾಕಿದೆ. 
        ನನ್ನ ಅಜ್ಜ ಈಸಿಛೇರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತಿದ್ದರು. ಕೆಲವೇ ಕ್ಷಣಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ತಳಭಾಗದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಾಳೆ ಎಲೆ ಹೊಂದಿಸಿ ಮೇಲೆ ಗಲೀಜು ತುಂಬಿದ ಬುಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ತಲೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ  ಹೊತ್ತುಕೊಂಡು  ಬರುತ್ತಿದ್ದ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಿಯೊಬ್ಬ ಸಮೀಪಿಸಿದ. ದೂರದಲ್ಲಿ ಆ ಬುಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ಕೆಳಗಿಳಿಸಿ ನನ್ನ ಅಜ್ಜನ ಬಳಿ ಸುಮಾರು ಹತ್ತು ಮಾರು ದೂರದವರೆಗೂ ಬಂದು ಕೈಕಟ್ಟಿ ನಿಂತುಕೊಂಡ. ನನ್ನ ಅಜ್ಜ ತನ್ನ ಪಂಚೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕಟ್ಟಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದ ಗಂಟನ್ನು ಬಿಚ್ಚಿ ಒಂದು ನಾಣ್ಯ(ಅದರ ಮೌಲ್ಯ ಗೊತ್ತಿಲ್ಲ)ವನ್ನು ಆತನ ಬಳಿ ರಿವ್ವನೇ ಎಸೆದರು. ಅದನ್ನು ಪ್ರಸಾದವೆಂಬಂತೆ ಆಟ ಸ್ವೀಕರಿಸಿ ಕೈ ಮುಗಿದು ಮತ್ತೆ ಆ ಬುಟ್ಟಿಯನ್ನು ತಲೆ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೊತ್ತು ನಡೆದ. 
      ನಾನು ಅಜ್ಜನನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದೆ 'ಆತನೇಕೆ ನಮ್ಮ ಗಲೀಜನ್ನು ಹೊತ್ತು ಹೋಗಬೇಕು? ನನಗೇ ಅಸಹ್ಯವಾಯಿತು.'
        ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಅಜ್ಜ 'ಅದು ಅವನ ಕರ್ಮ. ಅದೇ ಅವನ ಕೆಲಸ . ಅವನು ಅದಕ್ಕೇ ಲಾಯಕ್ಕು. ವಿದ್ಯೆ ಆತನ ತಲೆಗೆ ಹತ್ತದು. ಬುದ್ಧಿಶೂನ್ಯ. ಅವನೊಬ್ಬ ಹೊಲೆಯ!!' ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು. 
        `ಆದರೂ ನಮ್ಮ ಇದನ್ನು ಅವನು ತಲೆಯ ಮೇಲೆ ಹೊತ್ತುಕೊಂಡು.... ' ಮಾತನಾಡಲು ತಡವರಿಸಿದೆ. 
       'ಏನು ಮಾಡೋಕಾಗುತ್ತೆ? ಅವರವರ ಕರ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ತಕ್ಕಂತೆ ಅವರವರಿಗೆ ಜನ್ಮ ಬಂದಿರುತ್ತೆ. ಅದು ಅವನ ಹಣೆಬರಹ. ನಾವು ಪುಣ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣರಾಗಿ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ್ದೇವೆ. ಹೋದ ಜನ್ಮದ ಪುಣ್ಯ ನಮ್ಮನ್ನು ಈಗ ಕಾಪಾಡುತ್ತಿದೆ.'
         ಅಂದು ಅಜ್ಜ ಆಡಿದ ಈ ಮಾತುಗಳು ಅರ್ಥವಾಗದಿದ್ದರೂ ಸ್ಪಷ್ಟವಾಗಿ ತಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಉಳಿದಿದ್ದಂತೂ ಸತ್ಯ. ಅಜ್ಜನ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯ ಮುಂದೆ ಕೆಲವರ್ಷಗಳ ಕಾಲ ನನ್ನಲ್ಲಿ ಘನೀಕೃತವಾದದ್ದೂ ನಿಜ. 
         ಆದರೆ ಮುಂದಿನ ದಿನಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಪುಸ್ತಕ ಪ್ರೇಮಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದ ನಾನು ಹಲವಾರು ಪುಸ್ತಕಗಳನ್ನು ಓದುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ. ಬಸವಣ್ಣನವರ ಕೃತಿಗಳನ್ನು ಓದುತ್ತಾ ಕ್ರಮೇಣ ನನ್ನ ಅಜ್ಜನ ಅಭಿಪ್ರಾಯಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರಶ್ನಿಸುವಂತಾದೆ. ಈ ಹೊತ್ತಿಗಾಗಲೇ ನಾನು ನ್ಯಾಷನಲ್ ಹೈಸ್ಕೂಲಿನ ವಿದ್ಯಾರ್ಥಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದೆ. ಆ ಶಾಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಮೇಲೆ ಅಪಾರ ಪ್ರಭಾವ ಬೀರಿದವರು ಹೆಚ್. ನರಸಿಂಹಯ್ಯನವರು (ಪ್ರೀತಿಯ ಹೆಚ್.ಎನ್). ಅವರು ಪದೇ ಪದೇ ಹೇಳುತ್ತಿದ್ದದ್ದು 'ಪ್ರಶ್ನಿಸದೇ  ಒಪ್ಪಬೇಡಿ. ವೈಜ್ಞಾನಿಕ ದೃಷ್ಟಿಕೋನವನ್ನು ಬೆಳೆಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳಿ. ಅಜ್ಜ ನೆಟ್ಟ ಆಲದ ಮರವೆಂದು ಜೋತುಬೇಳಬೇಕಾಗಿಲ್ಲ.'
      ಅವರ ಮಾತುಗಳನ್ನು ಕೇಳಿದಾಗಲೆಲ್ಲ ನನಗೆ ನೆನಪಾಗುತ್ತಿದ್ದುದು ನನ್ನ ಅಜ್ಜ ಹೇಳಿದ ಮಾತುಗಳು. 
       ನಮ್ಮ ನ್ಯಾಷನಲ್ ಶಾಲೆಯ ಸಮೀಪದಲ್ಲೇ ಇದ್ದ ನಗರ ಕೇಂದ್ರ ಗ್ರಂಥಾಲಯದಲ್ಲಿ ಬಹುಕಾಲ ಕಳೆಯುತ್ತಿದ್ದೆ. ಯಾವ ಪುಸ್ತಕದ ಪ್ರೇರಣೆಯೋ ಏನೋ ಒಟ್ಟಾರೆಯಾಗಿ ನನ್ನ ಬ್ರಾಹ್ಮಣತ್ವದ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ನನಗೇ ಜಿಗುಪ್ಸೆ ಉಂಟಾಗುವಂತೆ ಮಾಡಿತು. 
       ಯಾರು ಮಾಡಿದ್ದು ಈ ಜಾತಿ ಭೇಧವನ್ನು? ನಾವೇಕೆ ಉತ್ತಮರು? ಅವರೇಕೆ ಅಧಮರು? ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ ಆ ಜಾತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಹುಟ್ಟಲು ಮಾಡಿದ ತಪ್ಪಾದರೂ ಏನು? 
ಉತ್ತರವಂತೂ ಇನ್ನೂ ಸಿಕ್ಕಿಲ್ಲ.                    - ದೇವರು ಧರ್ಮ ಏನಿದರ ಮರ್ಮ
