Will To Protect

The devastating Hurricane Harvey hits the city of Houston. The rains are still pouring throughout the city rapidly increasing the floodwaters. The death toll is estimated to have reached 30. A detailed report of the flood can be found in this New York Times report.

We know people are all trying to live in a comfortable situation, which we call as getting settled. But we should ask ourselves honestly "Are we really getting settled?" The answer that I would say is a "no," since who could really get setlled. I mean everyone needs to work daily to get their security. Even if we get our security, we need to understand how, in what way, how long, and in what sense. We just assume that money will get us what we truly needs, bu...

This blog was usually about my personal life. Now that it is going to take a turn to include articles about almost all the general subjects like science, social science, religious studies etc. This blog, from now on will flow through the interesting facts of how the understanding of human beings will lead to the protection of their own species as well as of all the species that thrive in the planet earth. As we can see that all living beings, as well as their habitat, is connected to one another, so protecting one species or their habitat will eventually help ourselves in some way that we would not have imagined. So, the blog will still speak about the will to protect which have changed the world and the lives in it.      

“The Bhagavad-Gita is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind. It is one of the most clear and comprehensive summaries of perennial philosophy ever revealed; hence its enduring value is subject not only to India but to all of humanity.”  ―  Aldous Huxley When I was a 13 year old kid my father put a book called "Unlimited Power" in my hands and said, 'take this as your Bible'. I asked him how this book is important as the Bible. He said that, 'people learn Bible in order to become better than they already are, that is to grow. This book also does the same thing, develop you. The difference is only in the approach. The Bible takes God, morals, values, duties, punishment etc. as its approach while this book "Unlimited Power" uses the way of science and research'. So ever since then I began to read personality development and self-improvement books. I have found out various ways and methods to develop myself...

I am an anime watcher. Animes are Japanese-style animated film or television entertainment. Anime pulls me off, of the edge of my emotions. Naruto, Death Note, Dragonball Z etc. are some of the famous animes that I've watched. Animes made me into someone other than what I've identified as myself. I now look back to my past just to find out how much that I've changed. It boggles my mind to think the tremendous changes that I've been through. The cause for these massive changes of mine are animes. Anime puts people's mind into a different dimension and gets into as far as the roots of an individual's identity. The foundation of an individual's identity is his/her experiences. The life experiences of a person determines who he/she is. Anime dives into our pool of experiences, creates ripples which completely changes the way the pool behaves. It is said that what one is doesn't change but who one is always changes. When I think about an a...

The tale of love transformed itself into a reality of love. I have now grown to the level of understanding love. It is she who uplifted me to that level where true love pervades. The funny thing is that she is not consciously aware of how her essence of presence teaches me love. Previously I wrote about the tale of love. As the name suggests it was just a tale in my mind, although it happened really. It became a tale of love rather than a true love was because love was covered by my desires. It was a foolish boy's desire to become a hero in the class and for that he wants to have a lover. That desire to be a hero then slowly faded away and the only thing that remained was the desire to have her as a lover. Unfortunately love was covered around by desires and that instilled fear into me. Desires originate from thoughts about "me and mine" and this is called as ego. In the "Tale of love" I suggested about my first lover. Then also came many lovers for me. Jus...

I now can think back to my past and find out that I have no friends while all others have. What is wrong with me for not having friends ? This question was nagging me ever since my first grade but couldn't find the answer. Now I am studying in third grade in a new school with no friends and a depression of getting into a change, I feel like I am a complete loser. However I have a strong desire to be a hero in the class with a very popular and beautiful girlfriend and a lot of friends. Well heros are like that don't they, they have lot of friends and the perfect lover. In fact I am just the opposite. This tale however has a twist that the boy who was the most popular in the class, with the whole class as his friends, who is like a hero made friends with a person like me who thinks that he himself is a foolish boy who has an impossible dream to be a hero in the class. We quickly became best friends and when speaking with him, playing with him I was actually living with him as a ...

I am 23 years old. I happen to meet several people, places, and events in my life. Everything seems to come into my life and slowly fade away. I've tried to include those in my life. But nothing got included. I thought I am alone and always will be. At some point in life, I thought, my family, will also fade away from me. Then what is the need to have desires in life and why should I need to fulfil my goal in life. Everything will only fade away. I thought. So many came into my life. Some got my attention. Some got my time. Some got my love. But only one got my life. It was a girl. I didn't like the girl and I didn't even like to have my time wasted with her. In fact, I even tried to avoid her. But when I understood that she respects me sincerely, I thought I could give my time to her or that I could give a support or even be a friend. Anyways, unknowingly I fell in love with her. I fell in love with a girl who I don't like. I couldn't comprehend her character or...
