Karma His Way

Whatever we do, whatever we invest in or whatever we spend nothing is unnoticed. He keeps account of everything, every moment and every thought that touches us or that takes shape out of us or that manifests in our work because the Creator Himself being the banker maintains our logbook with absolute precision. Ever wondered where you spent the sum that you had earned over the last decade? You might have lost or forgotten the count but it is recorded somewhere. The same is true with this life too. The way I treated the housekeeping boy who spilled soup on the desk while cleaning or what I was thinking while saying no to the guy who was asking for money without repaying the previous sum, all has been recorded. When I realized this I started thinking why not use His account balance for the purpose He has intended to. I need to utilize this lifetime for the purpose He has proclaimed to be His directed one as told in the SriGita, or the Bible or the Quran. Atheist read him otherwise, finding follies and inaccuracies in His various manifestations. (See the ‘religious fights’, ‘crusades’, ‘jihads’ or ‘dharmayuddha’ all in His name!). But He is the one altogether.

Now I have little idea of His plans for me and I also have idea of my previous births though it is limited to a few births but even though I feel relieved with the journey so far because of this privileged state. I have no idea or memory of my ant-warm lives but I feel empathy for the same. Although at times I hurt them or I did have killed them but I do wish for their exponential, out of turn promotions though I do wonder whether it will serve the purpose for them. I do wonder what would be the fate of the person who attacked me. Inferring the no interference from His side and leaving it all to the Karma principles what shape his life would take. Karma karma karma. Why don’t we believe in its principles. Why don't we do something that is humane. Why do we not aspire for perfection in our work. Why doing something carelessly. If this is what will shape us then why not we shape what we can and when we can. Doesn’t the optimistic opportunities that it carries make the karma enjoyable activity forever. Kartavya afterall is karma than why not enjoy it why not do it with perfection. Now I willingly acknowledge the conclusion of 'Do everything and love Him'. When manifested in our work, our duties this love has the ability to liberate us, to free us from the bondages.
Love,
Preyash.

Shocking Life…Shaking Beliefs

This section was delayed for long because it needed much editing before it could surface over net. Terming it as editing would be improper because it needed internal correction from my side. Whatever I wanted to post was of a person that had complaining nature. Why he did this and why ‘he did this to ME?’ My Mentor wanted to correct me in His way but I simply resisted. This complaining attitude had to go. If we believe in His designs then why to revolt against His game-plan. I believe my rebirth was a miracle…even my coming to the capital and my friends here all had some purpose but his thought just could not go off my mind even here. Namrata m’am (though all in the office are very distinct and distinguished but she has got this precious ‘karma’ gift to share with others) told me to sincerely name him in my prayers saying whatever he did yielded his karma effect, I should not think for him with complaining attitude rather I should pray for him. I do not know how but it clicked to me. After great difficulty I prayed for him, how difficult it was I can not utter but I managed somehow. Just praying was not important I had my attitude towards him changed. After one month it got reflected in my life too. But the problem with my posting remained as it was before. Whenever I tried to write about that incident I got nervous, disturbed, perturbed and perplexed. This problem had to be sorted out so that I can share the ‘life shines’ message with all. My Muskaan fixed this problem for me by playing Ratnavali bashing and lashing everytime I portrayed that perplexed preyash at the time of writing! Anyway it is not going to be posted now but whenever it is posted one thing is for sure, it will not spit venom or complain rather it will convey love and celebrate the good things in life, the purpose it was started for.

Love,
Preyash.

‘Mystical’ quest that led to traumatic ending

Excerpt from Hindustan Times, Ranchi Edition, 21 June 2005:

‘Mystical’ quest that led to traumatic ending
NAMITA Tewari
Ranchi, June 21
PREYASPATI MISHRA, all of 25 years old, failed to appear in Post-graduate Diploma in Translation and the Bachelor in Information Technology examinations of the Indira Gandhi National Open University. He has yet to recover from the traumatic assault that his cousin Shreyaspati mounted upon him in a warped attempt to achieve mystical powers that he chose to describe as “siddhi”.  Preyashpati, nursing a head injury at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences and rigned by shell-chocked parents who had rushed to Ranchi on learning of the “attempted sacrife,” was unable to place a guess as to why his cousin did so.

“I cannot imagine why Shreyaspati acted in this manner. He had met me several times at the Kashyap Hostel near Ashok nagar where I was staying and had extended an invitation to visit his home in Nagra Toli about a month ago. He met me on June 15, on the eve of my examinations, telling me that he had just come back from Lucknow and that he wished that I spent the night at his house.  I went along without suspecting that he had other designs on me,” said Preyaspati.

At his house at Tangra Toli, Shreyaspati told Preyaspati to rest easy, that he would drop him at the examination centre on the morning of the June 16.  Preyaspati did not eat the vermicelli that his cousin had prepared as a sweet dish after dinner.

The next morning Shreyaspati asked him to wait a while as he had to perform a puja.  As he waited, unaware of the design his cousin had in mind, he relaxed but soon doubled up in pain and horror as he found his cousin going hammer and tongs at him with a hammer.

“He kept aiming at my head.  I was dumbfounded to see him in this state, there was blood all over his face.  He came back at me fourth time and it was then that I asked him why he was doing so, “said Preyaspati, still unable to come to terms with his cousin’s mad behaviour.

Taking me to be semi-conscious Shreyaspati started mumbling that he would give me “liberation” and he, after he had done him in, would have gotten “siddhi”.

Somehow, Prayaspati managed to fling the latch of the house open, stumble outside and holler for help.  Neighbours rushed in when they saw me lying comatose on the ground.

“I was rushed to the Sadar Hospital by a traffic policeman and an auto-rickshaw driver.  I was referred to the RIMS by the doctors at the Sadar Hospital, “he recalled.

And that is where he today, recovering albeit slowly from the injuries sustained in his head, still benumbed by the fact that it was his cousin and nobody else who had sought to “sacrifice” him in pursuance of some mad dream.

Yes Preyash!!!

A warm welcome and greetings to you all for visiting Preyash. You might be wondering why creating a complete blog dedicated to a person, of such a common personality. When reading a blog about a person, it is only natural to anticipate projection of a perfect model, narrating the story in the most exaggerated words and manners possible.

Feel good for you are not going to face the complete man with all the virtues and no vices and yes, you are not to face him ‘in spite of your disinterest in others' life-stories’. This is because I acknowledge, respect and anticipate your liking for the truth and good things in life.

This is also because you are free to move out whenever you opt to. Here, you are not going to listen to the larger-than-life story. What you are to witness is something that helps life shine amidst all difficulties.

You are to witness hope and faith that makes everything possible. The gist of life that is well inherent in the best creation of God, ……in you, in me and in all of us.

With warm regards,


Wishing you happy reading.


Yes Preyash!!!
