સંવેદના V/S Emoji ઘણા સમય થી લખેલ છતાં post નહીં કરેલ હવે 'ચિંતનની પળે' column ના reference સાથે એના જ થોડા ઉછીના શબ્દો સાથે ફરી લખું છું. શું આપણે આપણાં જ જીવનમાં જીવતા હોઈએ છીએ ખરા? ચહેરા પર સ્મિત રેલાવતા, સતત દોડતા આપણે આપણાંમાં જ હાજર નથી હોતા ! આપણે પોતે જ ખોવાય ગયા છીએ. જો ભૂલા પડ્યા હોય તો રસ્તો પણ શોધી શકાય ! આતો, જાતે ખોવાયા છીએ તો બીજા માં તો ક્યાંથી મળવાના ! જાત સાથે  માણવાની કેટલીક ઉમદા પળોને આપણે ભુલી ગયા છીએ. ને પછી આપણે જ આપણાથી અકળાઈ જઈએ, આપણે જ નક્કી નથી કરી શકતા કે આપણને શું જોઇએ છે ? ઘણીવાર એવું થાય કે અહીં થી દૂર ભાગી જઈએ પણ ક્યાં ?? એ  પ્રશ્નોનાં જવાબે હજુ ઘણું બધું ટકાવી રાખ્યું છે. કયારેય વેદનાને સાંત્વન આપ્યું છે ? પોતાના જ અસ્તિત્વને માણી શકાયું છે? આપણે જે નથી એ દંભનો ચહેરો છોડી શક્યા છીએ ?  પસાર થયા પછી પગલાંની છાપને ઉભરાતી જોવા પાછા ફરી શક્યા છીએ ? આપણે જીવંત છીએ કે નહીં એ જોવા જાતને  ઢંઢોળી રહ્યા છીએ ? કદાચ, આ તમામ સવાલોના જવાબો 'ના' છે..... મારે મને જીવંત રાખવાની છે, મારી image ને નહીં. મારે હ્રદયને સંવેદનાથી ભરપૂર રાખવાનું ...

સત્સંગ "Practise of divinity and having divinity is different things." Satsang is " A traditional activitiy in the indian spiritual context , meaning is "being with good/rightrous companies."  Satsang has many contextual meanings. Here,I would like to share the experience of one the Satsangs in which people are singing 'devotional songs' of great characters to whom we adore as God like ......Rama, Krishna, Shiva, Radha, Draupadi, Mira, Shabari, Shravan, Ahlya and many more..... Satsangs can generate powerful, cleansing, inspiring and purifying thought vibrations which can uplift the people who participatein them and also sanctify the place in which it is organised. Many devotional songs which sugget the moral values, ethics, servitude, virtues, the way of living life, truth , honesty and much more things like.....#સંતાન થઈને સેવા કરજો માં બાપ છે ભગવાન, #કાયમ નથી રેહવાનું મહેમાન છો પ્રભુના , #વાહ વાહ રે દુનિયા મતલબની, #હારે એકદિન જાવું પડશે...

                                                                       Waiting  "A waiting that had no solution except keeping on Waiting." I feel the effect of existential crisis or meaningless of human existence in the irrational and indifference in both -Movie 'Waiting 2016' and in the play -'Waiting for Godot'. Existentialists deals  with such subjects like...Death, the  meaning of the human existence, the place of God in human existence , the  meaning of value , interpersonal  relationship, the place of self -reflective conscious knowledge of  one's self in existing. What makes difference in between movie and play "Nothing" and Nothing becomes the part of it. 'Waiting' written and directed by Anu Menon.Produced by Priti Gupta and Manish Mundra. The movie ha...

"સામાજીક ચેતનાની આધારભુત ભારત ના ભગલાંના વિષયની છે ને તેમછતા ભારતના વિભાજન કરતા એ વિભાજન ને કારણે પાત્રોની બદલાતી આવતી નિયતિ નિરૂપનનો વિષય છે."  કંચનબા ની પીડા,દુઃખો ને વેદના ને   ભુતકાળ માંથી એ વર્તમાન ને  નવો અર્થ આપે છે.

 Aniruddha Roy gives the new trajectory in  the Bollywood movie and it has  thriller. Wonderfully drawn plot with the goal of awaking people or shaken the frozen  mindset of Indians. It leads to think about different narrowness of  mindset in which even in 21st century - in the modern age they are living. Rather we have to accept human dignity we have to follow so called customs and wrong notions for different gender.  we have different rules and regulations and so called custom for women . Still in this age, we find the   #feudal mindset  of  men and society that they  are privilege over women. They thinks that they have right to do anything in this world. It's not easy to change the mindset of people then even , Aniruddha Roy gives the high stock to the society. No doubt now a days, it seems that women are free and they are doing their work at different places and etc....

 Everything which is changed is not always Gold. Now we all are in hurry, we have no time to look back our past how it was ! What is the importance of it ? Why it is necessary to remembere ? Many things which is discussed by Western philosophers during Modernist time , it is already existed in Indian literature. But unfortynetly we are not able to find it.  Our vaidik literature gives the path to the world.  We all are just talking about our great literature, upanisdas and all but we never try to read it what actually is in it ? Whay such things have been written ? Now a days , Pathetuc situation is that some other people tell us what is in it. How worthy such things are and soon we start feeling proud. Last fifteen days spend with Indian  Philosoohy. Really it is much wirthy for me to get idea about it. Why Indian philosophy is much more important for the world. Present Indian must be #criticized but with that past of India must be lead because it has pow...

Guru Purnima is the occasion of showing gratitude towrds  spiritual Guru as the Indian Tradition. But It is necessary to show your gratitude towrds teachers - Gurus from whom we can learn the life long lessons.    Guru is the person who always motivates us, supports us, and mould our characters. The real teachers are always teach us that see the things differently.  They teach us how to think not What to think.  I am really grateful to all my teachers who taught  me. I am obliged to Bina Mam Bhat Dr. Rathva sir, Sodha sir, and Vishal joshi and specially Dr. Dilip Barad who gives the critical aspiration and the new vision while learning in the Department of English.  Though i am not able to write such great things about Guru, this is only little one effort only. आपने ही शीखाई थी वो दुनया के दो महान गुरु शिष्य की बाते , Plato and Aristotle के तर्क -विर्तक. एक ने कभी अपन े शिष्य से नही कहा की प्रश्र्न मत पूछो और दुसरे ने कभी बीना पूछे स्वीकार ...

End V/S Conclusion Are we able to conclude anything as we want ? or  Are we able to end up things as we want to end ?  According to me , there is there is immense difference between these two words. Conclusion depends  on perspective. It will be changed with maturity , with understanding of time.  In conclusion  there is possibilities of changing of our point of view , our thoughts .But END never gives the chance to change anything.  Once it is done means it is done. It will be never changed. It has no view point. It gives  the judgement only.  Conclusion gives the chance to be witness of Time. It remains and gives the opportunity to be observer rather than judgemental of anything. Sometime, we never understand how to conclude or where to conclude ? The most awful thing is that something ends, without knowing , without asking  whether we want to end or not. When we realised about ending  everything is already ended. Then...
