Survival Strategy : Do we have one?

Charles Darwin:

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.

Shortened versions

It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.

It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.

I came across an article, which narrated all about how human skill to survival is being slowly eradicated in planned and phased manner. Common example was given about mass movement of human population towards cities. It has created constant fear of maintaining jobs at hand.

Simple Test: -

Just imagine if you do not have job at hand, what will be your survival strategy? How you are going to pay necessary bills or tackle liability? If you are not going to get job for another six month as well as you have already disposed off asset of your origin place post migration to settle luxury at cities.

Now if you can answer that to some satisfactory level to yourself, you still have survival skill else it’s time for you to create one.

There are many survival stories, you may have come across where several people have been unfortunately landed in uncomfortable situation due to travel/weather/transport etc. and have manage to adopt and survive. One common aspect in all stories is that they are usually a story of an individual.

But the context here is about able to survive along with family where each member does not have same strength and skill. Your role here of leader/captain to ensure survivability.

Now think over the above test scenario again and reassess/re-evaluate your response. The picture is getting bit scary, right?

That survival skill which our ancestor used to take pride in, is now being eradicated or getting phased out. 

Majority of cases people are always at edge and constant fighting towards creating balance and …………………..{you can fill yourself , what precious thing you end up losing.

 Hint: time, stress free life, health etc.. }

Whats your skill set/survival strategy to adopt change?

People aren’t stopping to look anymore!!

World has changed a lot but more than that it has moved a lot! What do you think?

Moreover, people are on constant move, virtually everyone one is busy but few knows the cause. Rest of us are simply busy.

People seems to be more in hurry than before, pressured by hectic work schedules and overloaded by other commitments and digital information.

Whatever I have read so far, I still fail to understand, how does it relate to the topic “People aren’t stopping to look anymore”

Guess you are right!!

Consider you are visiting some hill station and you suddenly notice some amazing view out of nowhere. 

What do you do?

Do we stop & experience the beauty with our naked eye and appreciate it?

Do we get lost in its amazing formations for few minutes?

Honestly that was 1990’s approach. Do you agree?

What actually we end up is one of the below: -

· Rushed to snap photos, bringing cameras or smartphones to our eyes before we would even looked at the scene. The view was mediated through a lens.

· Many others simply rolled by slowly in their cars, taking photos out the windows.

The idea seemed to be to collect as many quick photos as possible so as to post them on Facebook as proof that one had conquered yet another spot. We're harried, we’re rushed, we’re looking at our watches.

This ultra-modern approach is always keeping our body at edge and we are still in stress even we just concluded the best of best holiday itineraries.

We need to spend more time in beautiful spot/parks etc., for our sake, for our children’s sake, and for the sake of our body healing touches. This will also help next generation to understand the value of its existence and will help them to contribute towards its perseverance.

David Brower - Earth Island founder rightly pointed out “You only save what you love and you only love what you know”.

People aren’t stopping to look anymore, “They’re rush, rush, rush….

Educated Vs Learned

One can easily claim to be educated compare to becoming a learned person.

Why learning is difficult compare to be educated?

World has transformed to extent that information is available on finger tips, which is much needed change to intact transparency in data flow.

You might agree that each change has positive as well as not so positive effect but change is must to keep human life engaged.

Ultimately it boils down to human critical thinking to embrace it.

Learning = Education + Knowledge + Wisdom.

Learning is comprised of 3 key basic elements. Hence it is not easy to attain and very few make it to this bracket.

One of the most common example of our day to day life, which reflect that Education device us to understand & appreciate things around us.

For e.g.: We all share inspirational quotes, view on injustice toward nature or living beings, good life rules to follow etc. on WhatsApp-social media or in general conversation

BUT

Think for a second, how much percent of it, we follow ourselves compare to daily sermons we impart!!

No need to be scared of the outcome, Outcome is only for self-analysis & work toward its correction.

So what was the outcome?

We follow number of those only when it is convenient to us!! Else we ignore or convince ourselves ‘not to’ when immediate cost is visible.

That’s where we drag ourselves out from learning bracket and proud to be called as educated.

There are 3 ways to learn --

“Learning by experience: This is the hardest.

 Learning by reflection: This is the noblest.

Learning by imitation: This is the fastest.”

People can’t achieve enlightenment by learning in just one way. Different kinds of education are required for different kinds of knowledge.   

Let’s strive to become learned as this bracket is shrinking at faster rate which is not a good sign for humanity. Also there is less competition in this aspect of life.

हिंदी एक वैज्ञानिक भाषा है

Today is Hindi Diwas, 
Just came across very good tweet from संत इंदीवर ‏@frozenmusik

#हिंदीदिवस

हिंदी एक वैज्ञानिक भाषा है और कोई भी अक्षर वैसा क्यूँ है उसके पीछे कुछ कारण है , अंग्रेज़ी भाषा में ये बात देखने में नहीं आती...

क, ख, ग, घ, ङ- कंठव्य कहे गए, क्योंकि इनके उच्चारण के समय ध्वनि कंठ से निकलती है। एक बार बोल कर देखिये...

च, छ, ज, झ,ञ- तालव्य कहे गए, क्योंकि इनके उच्चारण के समय जीभ तालू से लगती है। एक बार बोल कर देखिये...

ट, ठ, ड, ढ , ण- मूर्धन्य कहे गए, क्योंकि इनका उच्चारण जीभ के मूर्धा से लगने पर ही सम्भव है। एक बार बोल कर देखिये...

त, थ, द, ध, न- दंतीय कहे गए, क्योंकि इनके उच्चारण के समय जीभ दांतों से लगती है। एक बार बोल कर देखिये...

गीता सार

तुम्हारा क्या गया, जो तुम रोते हो? तुम क्या लाए थे, जो तुमने खो दिया? तुमने क्या पैदा किया था, जो नाश हो गया? न तुम कुछ लेकर अाए, जो लिया यहीं से लिया। जो दिया, यहीं पर दिया। जो लिया, इसी (भगवान) से लिया। जो दिया, इसी को दिया।


क्यों व्यर्थ की चिंता करते हो? किससे व्यर्थ डरते हो? कौन तुम्हें मार सक्ता है? अात्मा ना पैदा होती है, न मरती है।


जो हुअा, वह अच्छा हुअा, जो हो रहा है, वह अच्छा हो रहा है, जो होगा, वह भी अच्छा ही होगा। तुम भूत का पश्चाताप न करो। भविष्य की चिन्ता न करो। वर्तमान चल रहा है।


खाली हाथ अाए अौर खाली हाथ चले। जो अाज तुम्हारा है, कल अौर किसी का था, परसों किसी अौर का होगा। तुम इसे अपना समझ कर मग्न हो रहे हो। बस यही प्रसन्नता तुम्हारे दु:खों का कारण है।

परिवर्तन संसार का नियम है। जिसे तुम मृत्यु समझते हो, वही तो जीवन है। एक क्षण में तुम करोड़ों के स्वामी बन जाते हो, दूसरे ही क्षण में तुम दरिद्र हो जाते हो। मेरा-तेरा, छोटा-बड़ा, अपना-पराया, मन से मिटा दो, फिर सब तुम्हारा है, तुम सबके हो।


न यह शरीर तुम्हारा है, न तुम शरीर के हो। यह अग्नि, जल, वायु, पृथ्वी, अाकाश से बना है अौर इसी में मिल जायेगा। परन्तु अात्मा स्थिर है - फिर तुम क्या हो?


तुम अपने अापको भगवान के अर्पित करो। यही सबसे उत्तम सहारा है। जो इसके सहारे को जानता है वह भय, चिन्ता, शोक से सर्वदा मुक्त है।


जो कुछ भी तू करता है, उसे भगवान के अर्पण करता चल। ऐसा करने से सदा जीवन-मुक्त का अानंन्द अनुभव करेगा।


Thanks
