The world is hearth and the saint is cool

Once saint Gyaneshwar went to a place for begging. On that day, the villagers did not give him anything but insulted him profusely. Gyaneshwar returned and sat angrily in the room. It's like a fire coming out of every hair follicle. As if the atoms of the body also turned red.


Sister Mukuta Bai was watching him from a distance. In a calm and gentle voice, she said to Gyaneswar that the world is fire hearth but a saint is cold. Where did the wrath of the saint come from?  Can fire be extinguished by fire? You see yourself. It will be good for you to find out the reason.


Gyaneshwar was enlightened as if a magnetic force was flowing all over his body. His knowledge arose. He understood that the cause of the anger was not out. He was ignorant.


Nature causes hot and cold outside. It is inevitable that happiness and sorrow will come from outside. But when the mind does not understand this nature or the truth, its balance will be lost, resulting in a reaction. Causing a lot of damage to the world with yourself.


Gyaneshwar came out and said, "Mukuta Bai, you extinguished the fire of my anger." 


From that day Gyaneshwar transformed himself and became quite cold.


He saw that action and reaction is the nature of the world. This will certainly come and go. That’s the truth. By understanding this truth, the man must be calm and steadfast. As a result, there will be peace and harmony in life. Life will be simple and beautiful. Man's birth will be meaningful.


Let the calmness and steadfast come into us. May you progress in your life. Good luck.

Uddhav’s Bitter Questions to Krishna

Source: Pexels Uddhav was in the service of Shri Krishna as a charioteer since childhood, but he neither expressed any desire nor asked anything from Shri Krishna. When Krishna completed his avatar era and was ready to go to Gaulok, he called Uddhav to himself and said: Dear Uddhav, many people have received something from me in this 'Avatar period', but you never asked for anything! Now ask for something, I want to give something to you   Uddhav did not ask for anything even after this. He only wanted to clear his doubts which were arising in his mind by seeing Krishna's teachings and his gratitude. This way it became a session which not only cleared the doubt’s of Uddhav but also it’s very helpful to clear all common doubts in our mind.   Uddhav’s question:  I could not understand many things in the events of Mahabharata! Your 'teachings' remained different, while 'personal life' looked somewhat different! Will you explain the reason to pacify my knowledge

Education System of India

India produces more engineers than the total population of Switzerland. Still, Switzerland is number one in research and innovation. After independence, the Republic of India has produced zero noble laureates in science but within the same time period, the USA has produced noble laureates who are 100 plus in number. The new Annual Employability Survey 2019 report by Aspiring Minds reveals that 80% of Indian engineers are not fit for any job in the knowledge economy and only 2.5% of them possess tech skills in Artificial Intelligence (AI) that industry requires. Sundar Pichai, Satya Nadella and many other popular people have done their education outside India. To find the root cause and problems hidden in our education system, we have to go back to the time when India was ruled by Britishers. In that time East India Company had two major challenges to rule India. First was the need for communication with Indians in their British English language and second, was the need for workers in I
