Love Story....

I have been wanting to write about the Incredible love story of Dashrath Manji..The mountain man ,

from Gaya, Bihar. 

His story is the unsung love story of the 21st century . Shahjahan created the  Taj Mahal with the help of over 20,000 artisans and the celebrated monument of love took 20 years in the making. Dashrath Manjhi's  labour of love for his wife saw him  cut through a rock mountain all alone with just a chisel and a  hammer for 22 years to create a path way- now a road use by thousands every day.

It all started , when his wife slipped on the rock and hit herself, and bled to death from lack of medical care in 1959. The nearest town with a doctor was 70 km away and could be accessed only by traveling around the hills, or along a un-motorable pass through the hills. Manjhi took it upon himself to find a solution by single handedly working through the mountain.

He took on this massive task as his purpose of life and his expression of love for his wife. 22 years of hard work , bore fruit when he reduced the distance between Atri and Wazirganj in Gaya from 55 to 15 kilometres.

  

This incredible man's herculean effort comes to the movies this Friday ,August 21, through the biopic " Manjhi"

I salute the spirit of Dasarath Manjhi!

Moving away from fear - Continued

One of our pre-occupations is to, think of what if the plan fails? Then one goes on to make the back up plans, plan 2, plan 3 and so on. 

Why is this required? Its stems from a very natural context - context of  fear of failing.(what if I fail?) It is embedded deeply in human sub conscious . What is missing in this context of fear is trust........  


The first thought that comes to mind says it all.  When one thinks -"Yes, it is possible... it is blessed and one thinks "What "IF" ?-even that is blessed. 


Which one do you choose? When fear is the context all that you do  becomes hard work. When one is clear it is any one's guess. 

So by checking the context , one is operating out of , one can clear the same.

One is  blessed to be , the way one thinks !

Choose Trust !

Moving away from fear

Ever wondered why sometimes in-spite of repeated efforts , you are not rewarded by result?

Each one's life is driven by  context. Most of the context is created out of fear, which is natural. 


When one consciously moves away from this fear based context to one based on love...results accrue.


How does one do this ?

The keys lie in  understanding and awareness. Getting aware of why things are the way they are and how one is the cause in any matter. With this awareness of the larger picture ,  when one shifts' their attention :-

• From   Procuring to providing. 
• From wanting to giving.
• From insecurity (lesser-ness)  to abundance.
• From self to serve.
• From profession to passion, the trtransition from fear to love happens seamlessly......
