What can life teach - Part 1

After travelling a journey of 24 years, around 2.5 months ... right now siting in front of blogger and typing this post, i feel that i have evolved as a better person and a professional and fell good that i have tried to learn from my past mistakes and positive experiences.

Definately one can regret for things one dont get or fulfill. But its only a state of mind. I also feel some decesions that i took in past were inapproriate and should have done something else. But one dont have an opprtunity to revert back which make the best option for human being to accept the past and live the present.

I have tried to live in present but sometimes as I am not that mature and either go back or think a lot about future. I very well believe that essence of Gita of actions with expectation of results, still may be because of peer pressure of some external factor, I goof up things. But the best part is to realize that one has done something wrong. This is the only way one can improve and evolve and liberate from all these entangles.

One important thing which i have learnt from life is Middle Path, i.e. some people strive for perfection .. theres nothing wrong in this .. but they get so engrossed that it is their death or life situation. Its always good to have a goal, but it is even important to have a back up or substitute which may not effect you

But there is one posibility for a perfectionist that - if he is fully engrossed in his/her work and if it doesnt affect his mind and he is not waiting for results .. then even at extremes there is no problem .. its something like u are in a samadhi/ meditation

The other question i wanted to know is What do we get in life?

The answer I got was .. its a combination of actions and destiny (something like, from the universal set of possibilities, some supreme power has taken some of these possibilities and the rest are offered to us. It depends on us which one we want - but makes it possible for us are actions).

But even important thing to understand is that .. how long can u keep running for ur career aspirations/ material things etc. WHat i have understood so far is that a desire will always remain unfulfilled until u grab it .. so either remove it fully from ur mind or fulfill it by grabbing it .. so that u remove the desire from root level.

Think that u want a Mercedes/ a big Bunglow ... so either satisfy urself for Octavia or earn fast by doing what u like to own Merc. Once u get it, this desire is gone ...

Early u do all this .. early you go from Ego to Self Esteem and finally to Self Actualization needs.

People can get self actualized in early age, but its rare in Kalyug. But everybody in this or the nth Birth will achieve self actualization. Achieve is the wrong word.. basically u experience the self

I know whatever i have written so far is a combination of my perosnal experince and theory. I may change my statements in future if i realize that there is a flaw in my thought process.

Enough for the day ...
