Realized? How many things we are neutralized to!

To begin, lets see what neutralization is:
Neutralized is when one gets used to that thing so much that one doesn't value it when one has it, but when it is taken away, one starts valuing it much more and ultimately he/she can't live without it.
We are neutralized to our eyes, limbs, nose; almost all our body parts. If we lose it we can't live without it. Yet, when we have it, we don't value it much.
But how can we live without being neutralized to our body parts? How is that possible? Can I keep saying: oh look at my limbs I am so grateful to have my limbs, I keep moving my limbs because I know the value of my limbs. Now, why would I do that? I would be considered insane if I would do such a thing, right?
So what should you do in order to not get neutralized? Or what is unhealthy neutralization?
Now a days couples spend so much time together, over indulge then after a point of time they say 'they simply lost interest' why does that happen? Because of overindulgence, after a point of time due to constant indulgence they get neutralized. Hence, having too many desires and feeding to it periodically and indulging to that extent will make you 'lose interest'. So how do I tackle this? Simply indulge at an optimum level. Know where your limits are.
In the west, after marriage, people go for honeymoon. Soon India, or the east has also started adopting that. But what is the Indian culture? 'Pag phere ki rasam' which is, the bride goes to her mother's place right after marriage. It is just the opposite to honeymoon. Where honeymoon is indulgence, Pag phere ki rasam indicates indulgence to a limit. I am not against indulgence but overindulgence, I just mean to say is, judge for yourself, use your intellect. You don't have to follow the heard.
Observe, question, decide: Will I be neutralized by doing this?

Knowledge is always taken never given.


Parents always tell their children, do this do that. They pressurize them to the core and the result all of us are seeing is the suicides happening everywhere. It is a very sad thing that is happening around today.
Even I hate it when people just advice me even when I didn't ask them anything. I call that 'free advice'; why do that? Why not just do our own respective work and carry on.
At times it ok to offer a helping hand, but after looking at the receivers negative reaction, do you still want to offer that help?
My sir used to always observe that friends help others even if they have not asked help. He used to say, 'that person is not your friend who helps you when you are not asking him for help; He is just trying to prove that how intelligent he is'. If he is not helping you then he is purposely doing that so you can prove it yourself!
Is there bliss in getting help from others and then saying hey! I am done with my work?
Or is there bliss in saying that hey! I am done with my work and that too all by myself!
I am not against the act of helping, I am against free advice givers!
Ok fine you see someone in pain and then you ask do you need help? if he says yes I do.
Earlier even I used to help others, even if not asked, but then I realized this fact

Is it practical?

We come across so many quotes and sayings, but do we apply them is our daily life?
I try and apply them, and one must, I feel, if you listen to it believe in it then why not apply it?
What is the use in just listening and going ahead? Doesn't make sense according to me.
So, here are some lines that really did inspire me.
'Your happiness should not be dependent on others'
I completely agree with this sentence. But no one applies this one. They say it is difficult to apply. Hey, no pain no gain! Besides this one is really very beneficial and if applied there wont be any attachments to anyone. This will solve almost half of our problems. Just think about it, the pain that a person goes through if someone loses someone. It would be great if his/her happiness would be dependent on others. It does not say that don't love others, it just says that don't be attached to them. Now people would come up and say, this is not practical! ohh yes it is, if you would try to apply, give a try. Such people are just deciding what will be the outcome! You can't decide that. No one can. Try and then wait and watch, the results will be amazing.

Do the deed don't worry about the fruit.

I always wondered about this statement. How is this possible, how can one not bother about the fruit and still concentrate about the deed. But it is true in its own sense.
If we worry about the fruit and do the deed our whole concentration is diverted to the result i.e the fruit and we eventually fail to perform well so, the outcome is negative.
But as we are always tensed and curious to know what will be the outcome of this and that. We tend to worry about the fruit. But isn't all that a waste of thought? Who knows what will happen next?
Lets live life and enjoy as if tomorrow is the end. One must be satisfied with oneself if one has to die tomorrow.
It is difficult to apply this, but not impossible for sure.

It is not in your hands, accept, trust and wait! (and then watch) :)

Something very unexpected has happened in our lives we are tensed, sad and then slowly depression shows its ugly head.
This is what is happening every where, it should not happen like that, this is not natural. We assume that this is natural, obviously we will be depressed if we lose some closed one. But no this is just our belief system that we have created in our minds. Just a mere illusion that is created by each one of us! We can stay normal. Yes it is very difficult but not impossible, and it is practical.
It is written in the bhagavad gita that one shouldn't be attached. Yes this is where we are lacking behind, we get emotionally attached to others and then fear losing them and after we have lost them we are unable to accept it and depression shows its ugly head.
The bhagavad gita is not just mere imagination, it is reality it is historical! And if applied in daily life will do us wonders to us! We have taken it for granted as it is widely available to us.
Trust God, he will do good to you.
Whatever happens happens for the best.
We may not realize this now, but may be tomorrow or may be some other day. At times, we humans don't even have that intellect to see the good part in whatever happens to us. in such situations patience is the key!
Accept, trust and wait, everything will turn out to be right. Getting involved in other activities also helps in a great way, well it did to me!
