When we don't know how to honour time, we most often end up compromising our time for the benefit of others. Learn how to honour your time so that you can benefit from all of your time.

Doctors are asking people who have recovered from COVID to eat more proteins. That’s good. But, is that the right advice? Is there any problem in doctors prescribing a protein rich diet for people who have just recovered from COVID?

Never work for happiness or for comfort. You are never going to have it. Always work happily. If you are not happy with your work, change it, or else, you will waste away your life trying to get happiness out of your work.

We all want freedom. The more we believe we have it, the more we want of it. Because, freedom cannot be had. It can only be. When we want freedom, we go all out to get it. When you don’t understand something, you create a notion about it. You believe, this is freedom. And when you get your notional feeling of freedom, you want more of it. And when you have it, you are not content with it. You want others to have it too. You begin to impose your notion of freedom unto others.

Our country is a special one. Even before time was invented, we kept track of events by way of observing constellations in the sky. And that is how, even to this day, when the particular constellation arrives, we know, thousands of years ago, God arrived as man on earth as Bhagawan Rama, Krishna, Anjaneya, Bhagawan Narasimha and the events that transpired which set an example of righteous living. By reading the constellations, we have etched in Akasha, the death of Holika. Every festival celebrated in our country has its history etched in constellations that decorate the vast space. Let us not forget the reason behind our festivals. We are Bharatiyas. We mustn’t forget our traditions. We are known by our traditions, values and our culture which is our identity.

How would it be, if you needn’t have to pay for your basic necessities such as food, shelter and clothing? How would it be if your life only depended on your skills, your abilities, and your time? We are all caught in this web of consumerism that, unless we keep consuming, we will not be able to survive in this society. Why are we living in this misery where we have only practiced hoarding money in the form of houses, lands, and businesses and the cost we have to pay for acquiring such definitions of security is with our own freedom.

Once you realise your self worth, your worry less and you look for possible opportunities to use these skills and trade your skill for resources. It’s your everyday task. Your are just like a bird searching for food. When you realise your worth, you can help others. There is mutual benefit. You apply your skills and the other person may share their produce or pay you for your service.

Life on earth is co-existential. We live together. If we did not listen to the sounds of birds chirping in the morning, if we did not communicate with people around us, and if we did not connect with life around us, then, we cannot call ourselves healthy. We cut countless trees which protected our soil, water and air and was home to countless species of life. And instead, we plant tender sapling instead which need the care of soil, water and air to grow and protection from being feed for cattle! We have no moral right to decide where birds will nest, where animals will live and how trees must grow. It is time we put ourselves at the bottom of the triangle, and our only role, is to support all life forms so that we, along with other life forms, live in harmony. This is the real wellbeing.

We all have an inner voice, or the gut feel, the instinct that always prompts when we have to do something and alerts us, when we are in distress. It even alerts us when something is not in our highest good. Has listening to your inner voice led you to experience the best thing that has ever happened to you! Let us know after listening to this story.

How will it be if money was not the only mode of transaction. How would it be if we barter our services to something that will directly or indirectly benefit our life. This is a dream that I had many years ago. I was thinking, when would that day come when we will not only charge money for our services! Instead, we will also look at barter as a means of transaction. Today, we’re happy and extremely grateful and satisfied the way it unfolded.
