Wisdom in ignorance

The quest is to find spirituality within the world and for that, it takes some time to understand the facts. Where there is darkness, there is light. Similarly, there is wisdom in ignorance.

The question is?

A sailor was sailing in the dark. Another boat collided with his boat. The sailor scolded him. As he did not get any answer, he scolded again and again. In the end, when he put light on the boat, he found no one was there. His anger vanished. The sailor was completely calm.

The question is who makes him calm???

A dark night is a symbol of ignorance. Nothing is visible, so it is difficult to understand the truth. Like the darkness of a sailor, we have ignorance. That's why we do mistakes. The mind did not know what was true. It's as if the sailor has unknowingly scolding, the mind feels that the solution of problems is at outside. So the mind is always running towards outside. The mind thinks that it will find peace if something can be found in some way, something can be done by various techniques or something else can be tried.

But those who have done something or got something, many of them are still in turmoil.

The mind is always looking for peace outside. That name is the world. So this is ignorance. Boating in the dark night will definitely cause accidents. Similarly, because of the ignorance of the mind, confusion, conflict and disturbance will continue to exist in our relationship.

But when the mind begins to understand its own ignorance, consciousness will be awakened. He will find peace inside instead of seeking it outside. Now he can see and understand the truth. This is the light of the mind. Just as the sailor could see in the light. As a result, he will travel towards self. This is spirituality.

Hence the mind will not search for peace outside for whatever reason. Where there is ignorance, there is wisdom in the mind, like the other side of a coin.

If you understand, you will calm down. Peace is inside but you are searching outside. if you understand, the mind will know about all delusion.

In the light of understanding, when you know what is true, you will find that the truth only gives peace. Where there is truth, there is peace.

God is another name for truth. So we say that only God gives peace.

Who gave peace to the sailor-like that? When the sailor saw what was true, the truth gave him peace.

Get rid of ignorance. May your life be true and peaceful. 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...
