Finding Your δ (delta)

Every cell in human body is unique. It performs a unique function in terms of assimilation or diffusion in different proportions. They have unique proportion of proteins so as to be identified as an individual cell. Hence if one cell has a content say x, then the other has say x+δ (delta). Thus it goes without saying that every individual has a unique δ that makes him very different from another.

Human body has 100 trillion cells and if every cell is unique, why is very hard to believe that of a population of 7 billion on this planet every individual has the potential to be unique??

I never fully understand when people talk about self realization, though I’ve used the term quite a few times in my blog. I believe the word is much bigger than what it is generally understood to be. One of the reasons for it being, the self itself encompasses a whole gamut of possibilities & probabilities that it’s very hard to believe that you could completely understand every permutation-combination of your own skill. But having said that I’m forced to think that isn’t it the challenge itself that makes it so plausible. The sheer number of opportunities forces me to believe that yes out of the trillions of delta combinations there might be a few in which I would be the best in the world !

Life’s quest is to find that δ, to understand what makes us stand out for ourselves and not for a crowd. What is it by doing which we would be happy even when we have nothing to gain by its execution? Sometimes it seems as simple as saying - to like something that you do; you must do something that you like. But is it really that simple?

If you look around you you’ll find that nature is a big fan of simplicity. It’s a big fan of effortlessness. Everything around us in nature happens with as much simplicity & as much effortlessness as possible. Be it the rising of the sun or the waning of the moon, the swaying of the grass blades to the withering of the leaves & flowers.

Your δ is not difficult to find, on the contrary it’s the most simplest or the bare natural form of you. Once you realize that and strip off all the extra layers that you have piled on – you will be left with nothing but your true self. You will radiate in a crowd you will stand out like a diamond in a mine of coal.

How to Turn Envy into Inspiration

I saw an Instagram post of my friend last week, where he had captured his transition from a paunch-sporting, belly-over-buckle drooping, ‘L’ size-wearing, physical construct that weighed 86 kilos in 2019 to a 6-pack-ab-sporting, body-fit-tshirt-wearing, elicit-chick-drooling, physique weighing just 69 kilos in 2020 – largely akin to the ones you see in weight reduction ads that showcase transitions as ‘before’ & ‘after’… Then I looked down at my physical construct... Even though I was hitting the gym 4 – 5 days a week, taking nutrition supplements, measuring my diet and watching a lot of youtube videos to incorporate the right exercises, I wasn’t there yet, but my friend was… And that made me very jealous.  For a moment I thought of giving up on my attempts, thinking I did not have the right body type. After a while, I tried to justify it to myself stating that I am able to spend only 1 hour in the gym while it may be that he is spending more time. Also, he’s got more mon...

The importance of 'sanskara'

Any activity done periodically becomes a habit. Habits become a necessity. And necessities become your life. Simply put sanskara is nothing but the habit you form from a very early stage in your life. Parents & gurus play a vital role in inculcating sanskara into a child. Sanskara is a set of experiences that the child has undergone in his early understanding of the world around him. So he reads, interprets and reacts as parents & gurus train them. A child's mind is like soft molten clay slowly being cast into a mould. With every passing day the clay solidifies with experiences gained from worldly endevours. Some experiences leave lasting & profound impressions on the mind that some recall even after years of rebirth ! Hence moulding the mind with the right view of worldly experience leads to formation of good sanskara & taking a negative, claustrophobic view of worldly experiences leads to cultivation of bad sanskara in an individual. Sanskara thus also becomes a w...

Hit the Rock Bottom.... Its essential...

To build the tallest building you also have to dig the deepest foundation. Men of extraordinary insights into life have gained it only by extraordinary sacrifices & hardships. They say higher you rise greater is the fall, but I guess this isn't what the phrase was meant to mean. My message to you all is, do not fear a fall - the steeper your fall, the higher you rise. If you examine any successful man's life you will see that success has come to him/her only after they've made those sacrifices. It is this sacrifice that make you strong & gives you the power to rise up to your dreams. This power can only come when you hit the absolute rock bottom in life. JK Rowling's life wasn't all 'hogwart-sy' and happy. It took her a failed marraige, single parentage, constant criticism of her impoverished parents & living in absolute poverty to hit that rock bottom. She says that there came a time when she was left with nothing else but what she really ...
