Comment on The Bigger Purpose by Manas

@Suryya, It’s an interesting perspective. However, there is a subtle difference here. An imminent danger is a “situation” and should not be equated to the “purpose”. We need to always deal with the situations. But our purpose creates a context or a framework. Taking the battlefield example further, it’s perfectly ok for soldiers to crack jokes especially when it easies out the situation for them. However, they always need to keep their “purpose” as the context so that they don’t take up distractions which give away their position to the enemy

If you think from a positive angle probably this nature of getting distracted and diluted by trivial things helps humans to survive in extremely hostile conditions. I wondered how soldiers in a battlefield cracks jokes at each other ignoring the eminent possibility of death, in fact that is what helps them to release their stress and tension and keeps them ticking.

@Ash, yes, the mind has its ways that mind only knows (or may be doesn’t know .

@harshad, people go to the temple for environment. For example, why should one go to a library or a quiet place to study? Or a fine dining restaurant that serves the same food? A suitable environment can enhance your experience. That’s it

good one Manas. But then if some one believes in god, then what is the need to go to any particular temple. I cant understand this. i argued with lot of believers on this one but i end up seeing lot of famous temples doing good business. Little callous comments, but since i am a non-believer i cant reason that.

If you try mindfulness meditation, you will discover that it is in the nature of the human mind to behave like this. Sad but true.

Manas, you attempt to simplify time is excellent… when time gets mixed in philosophy it becomes too complex..

Comment on Disconnected thoughts on Baba Ramdev, Jan Lokpal, Congress, Corruption & Democracy by kukkumol

These Congressmen are great frauds . They know very well to tackle these kind of situations. Now they are beating around the bush and making all the propaganda that RSS,VHP etc etc are with Ramdev Baba and trying to defuse the situation. They are not coming to the most wanted point ; bringing back the black money. Please make note of the names who are opposing Baba Ramdev during these days “They will definitely be in the Swiss Bank Black list”.
