Holy bible advises us to love our enemy. Gita too, exhorts us to treat our friends and enemies alike and impartially. These words of guidance arise from one root that there are no enemies. Anybody who tries to thwart our efforts is not necessarily an enemy. Two points arise from this: one, our so called enemy is trying level-best to inform us about our flaws which need to be set right; second he also reflects his own flaws that need to be attended. Basically, selfishness coupled-to-ego is the usual cause which takes a deadly form of enmity. Budha, Jesus and Gandhi tried to deal with this problem with love, compassion and non-violence. Once our so-called enemy is convinced that we truly love him/her, life on earth shall automatically become what we expect it to be in paradise.

KNOWLEDGE VERSUS REALIZATION
Knowlege, even of ten heads put together, if not dedicated to truth can only lead one to become a demon like Raavan.
With the passage of time, religions may be reduced to mythology, but God shall continue to be the same changeless ever-relevant eternal Truth. Thus, religions rarely ever groom for a tryst with God.
Maturity of mind is reflected from our admiring the variety of people/life around and enjoying us being an integral part of this variety. It is thus hightime, that selfish people stop dividing and inciting people in the name of God.
As we like our own qualities in others, best strategy is to see our own image in all living-beings. As long as we relish own superiority to our peers, we remain within the realm of relativity, and thus cannot realize our infinite nature.
The sole purpose of wisdom is to enable us to realize our liminations, as the pride of imperfections is the malaise known as ego.
Failure is a virtual success provided one repeats the efforts sincerely to correct the mistakes committed. Easy success may only fuel the ego.
All activity in this world is inching us towards self-realization - whether we know or not - those who know, dedicate it to God and realize Him.
Always keep in mind that any alternative to truth is only an apology.

STRATEGY OF LIFE
If our strategy is not to establish truth and justice in our society, all our actions are mere manipulations - groping in the dark: exhorts Srimad Bhagwad Gita.
The only purpose of tension is calling upon the mind to attend to an important duty, we have ignored to our convenience.
Greatness, when flaunted only reflects a small mind; it fluorisces without any certification.
The sole cause of jealousy lies in our failure to see ourselves in smiles and happiness of others. This is the worst kind of self-inflicted punishment.
When power ceases to establish truth, that becomes the beginning of its end.
As long as one trades truth to buy happiness, there is simply no chance to realize bliss.
Our ego of limited identity and unsatiable worldly desires only make us miss on God, despite being deeply religious: exhorts Gita.
If one cannot forgive one's detractors during life-time, one has got to be born again to settle scores: derived from Gita.
Cleverness cannot beget or win true love; here, innocence alone works best.
If, one cannot detatch oneself from the world; one simply cannot enjoy it as an observer or a visitor - one has got to become a sufferer of its bondage as a prisoner (Gita).
Always remember that we are only atomically linked to impermanent Nature/maaya but atmically/through soul to God for eternity: exhorts Gita.
There is no need to be dependent too much on science and religion, as they both sing the glories of ONE and the same TRUTH, which they do not comprehend.

LIFE - A FANTASTIC TRUTH
On this earth, all living-beings - from virus to man - are constantly trying to establish supremacy of own transitory identities over one another as right to globe.
To err is natural and excusable, but to insist on fault is ego - that holds us back from further progress.
Many may steal ideas/work/achievements/wealth of others to become 'rich and famous', but they cannot taste bliss that emanates from detachment.
The greatest surpise is to believe that we live for now only.
We insist catering to our egos un-necessarily, despite we know that our protoplasmic identity is just a part of the food-chain of the living-world to devour.
The apparent fight between good and evil (dev-asur war or struggle of life) continues on and on till we surrender our egos of present temporary identiy at the feet of Absolute Truth/God: derives from Gita.
If you are happy - say i love You, if unhappy - say i hate You and if bored - say i miss You God. Must we cultivate a direct one-to-one relationship with God, who alone exists in us as permanent soul.
Life is a journey of soul, carrying our luggage - mind, body and possessions. The best way to travel is to make habbit of greeting the co-travellers with smiles sans frown. Happy journey!

JUST TRUTH
When we miss on Truth, all information gathered has to be eventually discarded as noise.
When one realizes Truth, one cannot differentiate zero from infinity.
Always keep one part for the present, another for future and the rest for eternity - our true nature.
All our memory sans Truth shall prove redundant.
A questioning mind, maybe unknowingly but, is invariably searching Truth.
Truth faces maximum struggle, but cannot be defeated because it is Truth.
Meaning of Truth shall never change, even if, time and space cease to exist.
If law has to be just two words, these would be Truth and justice.
'I am Truth' declares God in Srimad Bhagwad Gita.

SURRENDER TO INFINITY VERSUS GROWTH
Having evolved through 8.4 million births/species, man has acquired a level of wisdom, unparalelled by other protoplasmic earthlings. About 5000 years ago God appeared and revealed His infinite knowledge to civilized man, that growth to infinity is impossible, except by surrendering to infinity. Examplifying that despite a rain-drop of water dissolving its identity by surrendering to ocean becomes ocean, most water continues to enjoy its identity from dew-drop to rain-cloud to drain, stream, river finally to ocean. By common knowledge, infinity is unachievable by growth, and yet, like jokers, we all opt for growth. Never mind, jokers too entertain and thus spread happiness. The message from God is: never worry, keep doing duty with a smile. A day, when wisdom dawns, one would automatically realize one's limitations and totally surrender one's ego to infinity/God and dissolve into infinity/self-infinity and assumes God- hood (Moksh/Bliss). This analysis derives from Srimad Bhagwad Gita.

MEANING OF RENUNCIATION AND DETATCHMENT
About 5000 years old concepts of renunciation and detachment are still hard to understand and yet survive in our philosophy of life.
The principal cause is that human mind gives too much importance to birth and death and forgets the value of means of achieving self-gratification during one span of life, that too, at the cost of system of other levels of existence (other living-beings and environment).
Variety of religious paths that have come into place have avoided to dwell on these concepts as difficult to practice.
The net result is, the world has been becoming more and more threatened with growth of human civilization.
Prince Siddharth renounced the world and then came back enlightened to it as Lord Budha advising us the path called: middle path.
Lord Krishna clarified in the Bhagwad Geeta that 'desire for only self-growth and happiness is the whole cause of misery in this world'. It means that individualistic growth at the cost of other beings and environment around is dangerous.
The conclusion is thus one has to renounce undue desires for ego-fulfilment in this world and observe own deeds impartially by being detached from the fruit or acquisitions.
