A Feedback to Star News Bullet.in

Watching Star News in Hindi on TV was a consolation of sorts! The frustration and anger of the time,money,energy,resources spent on trivial topics was put aside by the program on Anna Hazare !
I am not talking about glorifying Anna Hazare as a person/individual but about putting in front of the people of India, an Idol...whosoever it may be...Showing the way and trying to sow the seed of "good and proper" thought in the minds of the viewer of Star News.
"Lead by Example" an act to be performed by every concerned politician...'Grassroots' are not just for being eaten and hibernated but to be got energy from and "pay forward" to society and it's people who have elected and selected you to represent them to 'solve' and 'address' their problems by getting practical and real solutions".
I feel Star TV should be a STAR and lead by shining rightly and showing people how to solve rather than Show what the problems are!!!! Exposing and bringing a problem to light is easy but to do the bitter part of giving a solution would be always greatly appreciated.
Please carry on your support for the' Good Doers' and join in getting 'Dua' rather than just going for 'Rupiya'.
I am a small person not capable of advising but can only pray,plead and humbly ask for your support for the betterment of man,mankind,society and the institutions he has made....
Star news Zindabad!

Die a Log !!

I know not who made me
I know all that I live n see
I survived many a storm of feet
I grew up amongst sun, wind n sleet.

I was brought up very well
So much I have to tell
We all grew together
Come If,But or whether!!

Co habiting and Co existing
Without violence in meeting
Sharing that was given to us
Without a tear,shout or fuss!

Many a human came and went
Some plucked,picked or made a dent
Some cared,admired and even shared
Some thought , wondered but not dared!

A seed to sapling I anew
From plant to tree I grew
Insects, beasts and reptiles
Silt,sand, stones and dung piles!

Happy to flower ,bloom, fruit and shed
To the life of Happiness and Harmony wed
Living with the wind,sun,rain and earth
My happiness knew no dearth!

Growing tall was not all
For even I was bared in the fall
Priviledge wasn't a goal to meet
We all had well grounded feet!

But came there a storm
No one would be unharmed
If there was fair weather
We all swayed and sung together!

Nature is a wonderful Mother
Doesn't distinguish One from the Other
Why doesn't The Human take our example
Why does he weed,cut and trample ?

On Fate and Destiny

It was my 'Fate' I was born to x and y parents in --- country in a economically --- family, so on and so forth.

I was Destined to get xxx and yyy therefore so on and so forth..

So many may be 'fated' with similar things but the 'destiny 'of chosen ones could be different. 4-5 children fated to be born in the same circumstances to the same parents but may have different Destinies...

A teacher teaches the same thing to so many students so by their 'Fate' all the students are in the same class but all the children are 'destined' to be something/someone different.

How ,Why,When,Where,Which, etc.. are questions which can be Hypothetically answered and analysed but at that moment are anyone's guess.

Planning,dreaming,calculating,are methods to get the best out of the given situation but the results are only probabilities.Education and awareness along with experience or guidance does help to ease the process but not necessarily give the desired result.

Fate is unknown and so is Destiny. Human EGO comes as a hindrance to live and accept 'Nature' The Human Blames because he/she cannot fathom.Life is simple but one needs to observe 'Nature at work' first. Peace and Harmony are the Key.

If one lives with acceptance and learns to appreciate what he/she has got them LIFE become such a 'gift'.

If you are 'Fated' to read and understand this...

your Destiny may be different.....

love and Peace to all!!

Man and his actions

Knowing everything and with full awareness of the 'consequences the 'Human' challenges the Creator and the Future.Posterity is conveniently forgotten and 'self' is all that matters.
How the Earth was created may e still a mystery but What it(Earth) is made of is 'Knowledge'.Yet to draw Gases,oil,ores etc... from it's belly is to use 'Resources' and invent things like 'Fuels' Great achievement!!
So now we have Global warming,Shifting of Earths plates,Quakes,Tsunamis and also what man has discovered and used to his convenience (Atom) Nuclear melt down...what a laugh!
Natural disasters? or Man made ? I wonder!!
Speed,All ,everything,fast and early! are we not going wrong? the human species has to give it a thought to last longer and more safely!
Industrialisation! Money!,real estate,precious metals(what about lives),Power,avarice,want ,want ,want, now like a dog running away from fear...pant,pant,pant,

Of what use is our previous generation/s? knowledge put in print by our forefathers?Philosophy and understanding of the great thinkers,saints and seers? I feel so sad for the Human who doesn't think of the repercussion of his Actions!!

Ponderings...

Manmade words...
Godmade emotions
Artifcial creations
Scientific reactions
Impractical preparations
Logical valuations
Unimaginable manifestations
Social obligations
Hypocritical actions
Purchased consultations
Social exhibitions
Civil applications
Unnatural pursuations
Egoistic considerations
Human degenerations!

Those who do Charity to trusts,ngos,etc....please remember.....

I have always wondered about the human mind when he thinks of 'charity'. What lies behind the thought of the person who does charity...
It has been an act of human love and compassion that I thought would underline the act. Surprisingly...I have seen a lot of selfish motives which hide beneath the veiled act.

Let me quote a very old explanation in old English>

''Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."

I am sometimes taken aback the publicity which accompanies 'charity'. I also wonder about the reason a person talks about how charitable he/she is. This automatically brings to me the thought of the people behind the organization who actually run it. They too are a part and parcel of the act but not necessarily aware of the reasons about the charity made. In some cases they could be too...but the truth remains with them.

Usually charity is spoken of in monetary terms in this man made society. I feel >>>
"Charitable giving is the act of giving money, goods or time to the unfortunate, either directly or by means of a charitable trust or other worthy cause.''

Charity shouldn't involve ''ego,publicity,returns of profit,contest,improperly earned wealth,etc...

Qualified charity is dangerous for the basic purpose. Of course it is the choice of the giver whom,where ,why,what etc... Love for humanity and brethren , compassion,humility should be
the driving force...

The experiences I am having are very frightening...NGOs have to be scrutinised , trusts have to be verified, donors have to checked out, etc.... it is so frightening...

Truth is Love
If there is Love there is charity
If there is no Truth, there is no love..
Therefore there is no charity without their coexistence..

Humans , be aware of your EGO...
