Self Improvement

Please see this in a calm mind and bless yourselves.

There was a hole. There was a gold coin in the bottom of the hole. One by one, 100 people filled their hands to fetch it, but no one could bring it.

They were asked why they could not be brought.

99 replied, “The hole is too deep.”
The last one replied, "My hand is too small."

The story has a mysterious meaning

The first 99 are hostile. They blame the hole. They close their eyes to their mistakes. By doing so they make themselves unclean or complicated, but they do not know the reason behind this. In response, many times the precious light of life is extinguished, but they can’t find any improvement. This is truly an impure way of viewing things. Life goes on in sorrow. Because of ignorance, life becomes miserable.

Very few are lucky. They can see their flaws in everything. They can see their hands more than the outside hole. Without trying to change the outside environment, they focus on doing inner self-improvement. They know well that transforming others is beyond their own comprehension. As a result, their grief led them to relieve their grief. They cleanse themselves by seeing their own faults and delusions in everything. Because of this awareness, their consciousness becomes simple and fearless. As a result, they live a calm, quiet and peaceful life and they also help in the welfare of others. Life becomes blessed by the grace of the Lord.

So it would be great for anyone who can see himself and his own mistakes.

If you look at yourself, which class do you belong to, first or second??

This story is more than a million billion dollars but do we have that comprehension in us?

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...
