Jambalahaart_raja:

anni okadaaniki okati linked, but independent




Independent kaadu kada, all theories and philosophies may be independent but what links them all is you, and as you said your perception based on your experiences :-)

Each phase in life is a chapter in a book , not different books - Gratification avvagane subham card padite akkada chapter end , but the book or life does not end :-) So a new chapter has to start...from the point the last chapter ended...

I once wrote a piece in the DB with the bottomline "You are the potter , you are the clay" .

As long as you keep the wheel turning you create and recreate yourself , when you stop working the wheel you collapse into a lump of clay - disappearing into the earth :-)Jab tak zindagi hai apni zindagi banate rahen...that's my take..if as you said life is a drama then I would rather be the director than the audience:-)

Ivaltiki ee dose of philosophy chalu - back to work :-)

Anand_n:

responsibility of action




Renunciation of Materialism, Need Theory, Finding Purpose, ippudu Responsibility of Action!!! Digest avvatlaa... anni okadaaniki okati linked, but independent. Yevadi perspective lo vaadu link chesukuntu povaali. Finally, Gratification is most important. Ado pedda talakayaneppi. Gratify ayina ventane subham card padithey baagundu.

Any belief that puts the onus of action on you is fine in my mind...What I do not agree with are fatalistic beliefs that absolve people of responsibility of action :-)

Anand_n:

Why do you guys forget that just as your life is influenced by them, theirs is influenced by you So even if it is in a roundabout way - you influence your own life




Anand_n:

responsibilities vadileste sanyasi anaru, sannasi antaru





Anand_n:

If you believe no one has any influence, anta daiveccha

So Jambalahaart, instead of thinking of bhasmasura hastam think of yourself as a pheonix that rises from the ashes and break up with Johny Walker and find someone who can fly with you




Johnny Walker vadilesi Red Bull toh kaapuram pettala?




Jackson:

life antha pakkana vaala chuttu or vaala influence thone saagutundi..



Agree with Jackson. Today always comes from Yesterday, and scares the hell about Tomorrow. Our experiences, and our perception is what makes us who we are. Life is not a movie, nor a book, chapter-to-chapter subham card okati padesi malli kottagaa start cheyataaniki. Life isn't a journey, there are no milestones. Adoka paramapada sopana patam. Indulo, we are alone. Vachhinappudu okkallame vachhaam. Poyetappudu okkallame pothaam. madhyalo anthaa drama..

Jambalahaart_raja:

kontha mandiki konni ayithayi, konni avvavu, but lower basic three steps lo andariki anni thondaragaane avuthaaye




Adi kuda up and down avochu - monne ma abbayi to disco veskunna ee topic meeda explaining - he is at the point where all basic , security needs are fulfilled courtesy parents and esteem needs courtesy standing in school and friends and he is free to pursue actualization needs whether its his art and cartooning or talking abstract philosophy ani...

I was cautioning him that this however, is temporary as a student and that he has to brace for going down the pyramid and climbing up again when he is on his own financially and in a different social environment ...so even the lower levels may have to be revisited till you become financially secure and stable, your esteem needs are met in a different mileau:-)

And that this may need to happen multiple times in a lifetime - as a kid, as an individual, then you have the family and you start over with their security, everytime you change jobs, locations and so on :-)

So Jambalahaart, instead of thinking of bhasmasura hastam think of yourself as a pheonix that rises from the ashes and break up with Johny Walker and find someone who can fly with you

As the great man said -

We're not here because we're free. We're here because we're not free. There is no escaping reason; no denying purpose. Because as we both know, without purpose, we would not exist.

It is purpose that created us.
Purpose that connects us.
Purpose that pulls us.

Anand_n:

BTW- you were going to share the REiki exp



I had taken few Reiki sessions and took the level-1 attunement a month ago. I am still not convinced myself with the effects. Hence, not in a position to explain. I will be taking level-2 this weekend.

My rational thought process is keeping me from understanding the true Reiki experience. Either that or I am judging everyone under Placebo effect.

Will post more after my new attunement. :-)

It's not you but we are talking about any common man from middle class background. We all grew up with lots of dreams, worked really hard to be where we are. It is part of the life to amass the physical comforts the we have been longing for. The scale is different for everyone. Once you cross certain point in life (either age or enough wealth), you may start your spiritual journey. Physical comforts may not amuse anymore. It is just part of life cycle.

Anand_n:

And if they are making the money who are we to tell them how they spend it ? If it makes them happy to buy stuff -so be it


Materialism is classified a vice generally! To support my point - I will invoke the damage materialism does to this planet and responsibility should remind us to not abuse freedom!

anyways ..


quote:

Materialism (adj. materialistic) is the excessive desire to acquire and consume material goods. It is often bound up with a value system which regards social status as being determined by affluence (see conspicuous consumption) as well as the perception that happiness can be increased through buying, spending and accumulating material wealth. Positively, materialism might be considered a pragmatic form of enlightened self-interest based on a prudent understanding of the character of capitalist society. Negatively, it is considered a crass, if not false, value system induced by the spell of commodity fetishism and void of more noble and worthy values.

:-)Only trying to drive home the point that "how much money you think you need" may also be termed a materialistic need ..people can subsist happily on far less but most people do not want to live on lesser income if they have a choice...

Nothing wrong in it is all I am saying :-) And if they are making the money who are we to tell them how they spend it ? :-)If it makes them happy to buy stuff -so be it :-)

To understand anything you need to reduce the judgemental attitude - else you will only see what you want to see...


mindless materialism is a phrase that exists - I didnt invent .. I only used it to put my point across .. if it comes across as "judgment" .. so be it .. I am helpless ..

why did you want to come to USA ?

That's all relative. Ninnu chooste oka Anil Ambani ki poor la anipinchocchu. Inkodi ki rich anipinchoocchu. As Anad said, you have to define what makes your ego happy.

Why stop at large houses? Why not limit things we buy, food we take, education we get? Why did everyone end up in US if they are happy with whatever they have in India?

Manishi manishi ki difference untundi kadandi ...Some find gratification in collecting stuff , cars, watches,...some in degrees they accumulate, some in creative pursuits ...

Who are we to judge ? As long as they are not breaking laws and not hurting other people :-)

afford cheyyagaligi - living with less
afford cheyyaleka - living with less
second category people may not appreciate that as much as first category people..

Anand_n:


Author is rich, scaled the materialism peak, decided there was not much gratification anymore and downsized...but he did not think so while scaling that peak

Also freedom of choice is a huge ego boost..Choosing not to buy and live simple is not the same as being unable to buy because its unaffordable Was he happy when he first started his career and possibly lived in a studio apt similar to one he is now ? Probably not , else he would not have amassed the stuff he did

Maslow's need theory chadive untaru kada - people find different things gratifying at each level...Identify and understand what gratifies you

quote:

Our fondness for stuff affects almost every aspect of our lives. Housing size, for example, has ballooned in the last 60 years. The average size of a new American home in 1950 was 983 square feet; by 2011, the average new home was 2,480 square feet. And those figures don’t provide a full picture. In 1950, an average of 3.37 people lived in each American home; in 2011, that number had shrunk to 2.6 people. This means that we take up more than three times the amount of space per capita than we did 60 years ago.

Apparently our supersize homes don’t provide space enough for all our possessions, as is evidenced by our country’s $22 billion personal storage industry.

What exactly are we storing away in the boxes we cart from place to place? Much of what Americans consume doesn’t even find its way into boxes or storage spaces, but winds up in the garbage.

We live in a world of surfeit stuff, of big-box stores and 24-hour online shopping opportunities. Members of every socioeconomic bracket can and do deluge themselves with products.

There isn’t any indication that any of these things makes anyone any happier; in fact it seems the reverse may be true.

For me, it took 15 years, a great love and a lot of travel to get rid of all the inessential things I had collected and live a bigger, better, richer life with less.




Awesome ..

Mav, thanks so much for posting ..
