Work with Pride

Many people feel ashamed of their employment when they don't match the "high-powered" or "prestigious" mould in a society that is obsessed with status and achievement.

Society bombards us with narrow images of success making many think their jobs fall short. But the work that feeds you, no matter what it is, merits huge respect.

We need to break down this story and honour the worth of all honest work.

Stand tall!

Work gives our lives shape and meaning, offering a chance to grow and improve.

From a skilled craftsperson's eye for detail to a caregiver's non-stop commitment, each role helps society run.

 Be proud of what you do!

Working, no matter what you do, is a key part of being human.

 You might sometimes think your job isn't fancy or high-status. But don't forget, it helps you live with self-respect and give back to your community.

 

Powerful sense of self-reliance & dignity

Having a job gives you a strong feeling of being self-reliant. When you make your own money, you get the freedom to take care of yourself and the people you care about.

 This money safety helps you feel proud and lets you decide things that affect your life.

A sense of self-worth and accomplishment

Work's worth goes beyond just paying the bills. It builds self-esteem and a feeling of achievement.

 When we fix issues learn new things, and team up with others to reach a shared goal, it shapes who we are.

 Doing a good job brings joy, taking pride in our work feels great, and bonding with workmates adds to a rich life.

All these things make our lives more complete.

Security and independence

It allows us to provide for ourselves and our families, fostering a sense of security and independence.

The Symphony of Society: Every Role Plays a Part

A man sweeping streets or transporting garbage are not as appreciated as CEOs, but their efforts keep diseases from spreading. What would people do if the offices and public utilities of the city’s sanitation department were removed? 

This feature of glamour would be replaced by the ordeal of life in this large city.

Some examples can be hospitals without nurses, or farms without farmers, which is impossible.

It means that the huge number of people with manifold occupations makes society work organism-like. 

The nurse who attends to the ailments of the sick, the educator who fosters the development of our children, the mason who puts up our structures and roads, the deliverer who brings our basic needs. 

Thus, whether the play is called ‘’Hamlet’’ or ‘’Henry V’, it is a significant part of that symphony of great and small puppet plays.

Often, the jobs deemed "unskilled" are the very ones that keep the world running

While such jobs may not necessarily need one to go to school for years, they call for personality, stamina, time consciousness and the ability to work with all strata of populations.

These make a comfortable and healthy life possible and are indispensable.

Thus, every job is a segment of a jigsaw that collectively forms the function that maintains the existence of society.

Beyond the Stereotypes: Redefining Respectability

There is social prejudice in society that relates the worth of an individual to the job description. Societal prejudice contributes to shame because of the occupations their members perform. Sometimes stems from classist thinking that believes that work that involves the use of one’s hands is more so associated with lower classes.

This view fails to capture the modern generation’s employment situation where most of the skilled technical professions pay better than desk jobs.

Besides, it reduces the worth of human muscles and vigour and overlooks strength, endurance and techniques.

Change in mindset contributes to a more respectful work culture:

Shift Your Perspective: It is again important that you change the way you look at your job. Replace the thoughts about the low positions’ underrating with the appreciation of the practical utility of such positions. Consider what you help, what you offer and what you help create on the general scale.

Find Your Passion Within Your Work: Try to locate the positive aspects that can bring happiness and contentment to the particular job. Maybe you are skilled in communication with the buyers, like the processes of the problem-solving part of the work, or the indication of partnership with the coworkers. Thus, attention must be paid to those aspects.

Surround Yourself with Supportive People: Develop relationships with people who have good things to say about people and their worth, there is no superior profession, and everyone deserves appreciation.

Embrace Continuous Learning: Understand the job you are in as a temporary situation. A person should continuously be willing to learn and hence should be ready to acquire new knowledge in different fields. This not only increases your worth to the employer but it also gives you the much-needed self-confidence when handling tasks.

Acknowledge the value of all professions: The next time you come across a person who performs a service, take time and thank him or her for the job done. Politely acknowledging the other person is also an important aspect of showing respect and nothing embarks more respect than a simple thank you.

Support vocational training: The youth must be encouraged to go for vocational education and training as an equally good and realistic form of employment.

Promote a work-life balance: Advocating for pay, work hours benefits access and job satisfaction can lead to a better quality of life in the workplace. 

Achieving a balance, between work and personal life often results in employees approaching their tasks with enthusiasm and concentration.

''Be proud of your job'' and  ''Celebrate all your work'' because 

''Our work is a part of who we are''

 it is the work you do to make money and help your family.

''Respect and esteem all professions''

Careers are not just a source of income but should also make you proud. Always bear in mind, that no profession is low in comparison to other ones, every job plays a part in the external world.

''You contribute to society''

Remember this and take pride in providing a respectable living for your family and positively impacting someone else's life.

People may dismiss your job, but every job you take on is a chance for something good in the world to be done.

The things you get to do are part of your identity, even if the job you do is not something you do for a long time. It is also proof of your character.

Be proud of your job, work hard, and make a difference.👍

Kabir's Wisdom

Kabir's Wisdom: Truth Over Illusion

The Hindi verse "jantar tantar sab jhūTh hai mat bharmo jag koy satt sabad jaane binā kauvā hans na hoai" can be translated into English as:

 All magics and spells are lies, do not fool the world, the crow has no idea which word can help it turn into a swan. ”

This line is derived from  ‘Dohas of Kabir’ which is a 30-verse composition that has been composed by Kabir, a 15th-century Indian Holy man.

It is a rejection of witchcraft and fake or Westernized medicine and an encouragement of the truth and knowledge, hence the Enlightenment. 

Working with its distinct tone and its words’ connotations, this verse is a clear proclamation of the value of truth and enlightenment for a human being. It is a call to shun the various beliefs that are considered to have been acquired through the spirit medium and instead turn within in search of genuine knowledge.

‘‘Jantar Tantar sab Jhuth hai’’ This eliminates the possibility of anybody using magic or chants to achieve his or her intended goals. 

This thread runs through the whole of Kabir’s work as he did not believe in the power of rulers or lords.

”mat bharmo jag koy” In fact this phrase literally translates into English to “don’t deceive the world. ” 

This is a tell that people should not propagate bad things, particularly superstitious beliefs. Kabir always looked at the possibility of wrong teachings being propagated and he encouraged people to think critically of what was being told and what was being seen. 

He indicated that knowledge existed somewhere deep within. One could only be sought and people should always be forthright in their dealings with other people.

“satt sabad jaane binā” This phrase literally translates to “without knowing the true word. ” The “true word” can be taken in many ways, but in the most basic of terms, it is considered the spiritual and philosophical or even mystical, knowledge a person has or knows of himself.

In this verse, the author is mocking the people who believed in superstitious and paranormal aspects. It claims that inner knowledge and understanding are the way to go out in a quest for knowledge and not through magic and spells.

The Power of Truthful Knowledge: Therefore, according to Kabir, the change has to be internal, which can only be brought about by accepting the nature of existence.

Thus, he stated that without this knowledge people are as hopeless as crows.

The crow symbolises ignorance and the swan represents knowledge and enlightenment. The crow is the black bird that depicted the negative omen of death and the swan is the white bird that has been shown to depict beauty and cleanness.

 This specific line infers that without insight, people remain no better than crows. With the right knowledge, we can rise above like the swans above the mire of samsara.

The verse is also a provocation towards reason as a potential source of liberation from the alleged tyrannous rule of magic or chants to achieve his or her intended goals believed in superstitious and paranormal rituals.  People should never act and believe in rituals that do so, it is without taking time and analyzing the information. 

This is the only way we are likely to develop real appreciation and understanding. As far as critical thinking is concerned we should not take everything that is said or written at face value.

In fact, the verse can be interpreted as a message that people should rely on themselves. It means that we should not depend on what people tell us regarding knowledge and happiness. However, we must not rely on external sources for answers that are said to be seeking within us.

The verse can be interpreted as a symbol or as a reminder of the language’s potential as well. This one is, indeed, a true word that is simply symbolic of the power of words that following the verse form something in existence. 

To sum up, there is nothing outside of following rituals of magic spells and superstitions, we should learn how to manage our lives properly to achieve the best result for making our lives more meaningful with true mystical, knowledge a person has or knows of himself.

It is a verse of encouragement. It provides hope to people that even though at the moment they live in a world full of ignorance and superstition one can rise above that and become enlightened.

It is not surprising that there is a heavy moral code expressed in the verse. It motivates people to tell the truth and to be productive as well as strive towards the acquisition of genuine knowledge.

The Doha is a message that teaches people to be independent and find their way to enlightenment. Unlike most fairy tales, it does not focus on getting information or solving problems using magic or spells but using our inner selves.

Universal Love

''The basic energy of the universe''

 Embracing
 Oneness 

This is actually a very simple way of accepting someone as they are, love in this case would mean no strings attached. It does not matter how good they are, what they look like, or how they behave; one just has to accept everything.

Different cultures, beliefs and teachings have these elements that go beyond personal feelings or romantic relationships. It's about understanding that everything is connected, which helps us feel a strong sense of togetherness and unity.
It is more about being aware of the concept that everything in existence interacts with each other and further strengthens a sense of belongingness and unity.

 “Love all”  is not romantic love. Rather it reveals the truth that we are part of this cosmic energy. When we talk about universal love then there is no I, My, me, you, your, yours, They, Their, Them. we are all one. It needs to melt the identity.

 Interconnectedness of Life

 Every part of life is connected. We all are entwined within existence. From the largest banyan tree to the smallest insect, all organisms have roles to play in this cosmic ballet.

 By sensing this bond we feel deep compassion and love for every living creature on earth including human beings.

 Everything you see whether living or non-living movable or immovable is part of this cosmic dance

Everything is joined up together

 We’re all part of an enormous life network called life itself. In universal dance, every living thing from massive banyan trees to the tiniest insects plays its role.

If we understand this truth, we will be able to have compassion and love for all beings including other humans as well as small ones.


Understanding this helps us feel love and friendship for every creature on earth, from humans to tiny bugs.

''We all only have a temporary home on this planet of ours.''

 

Love Nurtures Acceptance 

This understanding of unity among all people can help us to look beyond differences of race, religion, nationality, or social status. This involves seeking new connections and growing relationships which will make you fall in love with the place you live in and even more in love with the people that you share it with.

Moving past opposite

 Universal love can help us think beyond binary opposing systems – like right and wrong, or us versus them.

 By viewing the world through the prism of love, we can start to see everything's fundamental value and see past the straightforward contradictions that these conceptions contain. Every difficult situation is a chance for growth and development.

Release Duality

 Our world is made of good and bad, day and night. Universal love destroys this hostile pattern. We must see clearly and discard these labels. Even the "bad" things offer growth opportunities.

Love as a Source of Positive Energy

Love cannot be defeated, and when we receive it, it is difficult for it not to spread. Then we encourage others to act more kindly and with greater understanding. Over time and across geographies, love might become contagious, bringing peace.

Seeing the goodness in others

 Loving all means showing love to all and finding the best in them. It doesn't mean overlooking the wrong things others do. Just notice them and refuse to be judgmental. Believe in kindness in everyone.

Love Yourself

 Loving the world starts with loving yourself. If you want to love the world outside, you must first love yourself. This way, you can openly welcome love into your life.

Universal love  is power in harmony

 The feeling of love brings all actions in balance with all things within ourselves and harmonizes everything outside. Nothing is excluded.

The Difficulty of Loving Everyone and Everything

 Loving everything might sound unrealistic. As humans, we have likes and dislikes for certain things and situations. Universal love suggests not to judge anything not to comment upon and not to hate a thing or a person.

Be humble. If you cannot praise or appreciate anything or anybody, then do not criticise, do not have any ill feeling also. Just do Namaskar and move.

Universal love is a process, not a final goal.  It needs ongoing work and looking inward. There will be obstacles, times of criticism, and negative thoughts.


Loving everything and everyone creates harmony and balance in total. We not only improve our own lives but also help create a more calm and balanced world for everyone.🙏

The Allure of Sweet Words

Never Trust, ''The Allure of Sweet Words''


Words are powerful. Words may build empires and even kindle love; they can provide comfort during times of adversity and launch revolutions. However, words can be deceiving, with sugar-coated lips delivering a harsh reality. This idea is most evident when nice words are delivered without sincerity and backed up by no actions.

The saying "never trust sweet words" may sound negative, however, it contains some extremely valuable lessons. The true intentions are often revealed via actions rather than words.

 Sweet words frequently conceal deeper, darker intents. The guy who is showering you with compliments will make you turn a blind eye because he has ulterior motives. Sweet words develop trust, which is then damaged by the guy who is showering you with compliments and expecting you to turn a blind eye since he has bad intentions. Sweet words instil trust, which is ultimately broken by the devious and seductive individual.

 Words as sweet as sugar can seduce. Maybe they soften our fat, stroke our egos, and instil a sense of trust. Especially when we feel frightened or doubtful.

The danger stems from the lack of intent in the words spoken. They will be utilized to deceive or get anything from us.
Politicians use them to win votes, advertisers use them to sell things, and people may use such phrases to exploit others.

 When the truth is revealed, we are hurt and discouraged because of the hollow promises and flattery.

Why do individuals use nice language?

Flattery can sometimes be used to gain favour or manipulate for selfish objectives. Let us look into this.

Charm of Sweet Words

Humans, as social creatures, want only connection and recognition. Sweet words would trigger the release of dopamine, a feel-good hormone in the brain. This fosters a positive relationship with the speaker, so we are more likely to listen to their thoughts, opinions, or even requests in one spot. 

Critical thinking may take a backseat to positive reinforcement in the superstructure.
Sweet talkers take advantage of this susceptibility to manipulate the situation for their own gain. 

The trust that a person may have created towards another person by saying nice things to them can be manipulated further to acquire anything. 

This particular tactic is particularly frequent in scams when fraudsters seduce their next prey with promises of easy money, free presents, and business.

Insecurity is wrapped in honeyed words. Someone who flatters you may require similar compliments themselves.

''Observations beyond the words''

Observe not only words but actions: Examine how well someone's translation of emotion to behaviour corresponds.

 

Are they saying one thing and then doing something else? Make sure everything is consistent.

Observe how they treat you and other individuals in their lives. 

Do their acts demonstrate respect and consideration?

Our behaviours provide far more certainty about character and intention. If someone has consistently been there for you, even when he does not have to, and if what he says is supported by real actions, then he is trustworthy.

Listen to your instincts: Our intuition can often serve as very excellent guidance. A modest sense of discomfort might sometimes be a useful warning indicator. Don't disregard that small voice. If anything does not sound correct in someone's words, it is most likely not true. Do not ignore your instincts.

Look for discrepancies: do the words and actions match? If someone is continually contradictory with their opinions and contradicts themselves, it is a red sign.

Empty promises are like balloons -- empty at the centre

Instead, concentrate on accomplishments. Are they making an effort to keep their promises?

Are you noticing genuine attempts to live up to their words?

Is their behaviour consistent with their words?, ''Consistency is key''

Beware the Flatterer: Excessive flattery is typically a red flag. Really nice compliments would express and acknowledge your true characteristics. Flattering is a broad and exaggerated attempt to manipulate others into feeling bad.

The Smooth Talker: They have a solution for everything and can weave solid arguments together effortlessly. But are the statements full of facts and rationale, or are they hollow rhetoric designed to sway you?

Charming: They are polite to you, compliment you, and make you feel special and appreciated. However, a charmer's attitude may burst into a bubble when you need to be truly cared for. 

Are they there for you when times are rough, or do they disappear when you confront a challenge?

Beware of instant connections: Genuine friendships and true love take time to build. So don't be taken aback by an out-of-control display of pleasant emotions that appears too quick or is simply too good to be true.

Don't give away your trust for free: True trust emerges from common experiences, truthfulness, and reliability, which are carefully formed over time. Consistent acts construct a solid foundation, brick by brick.


But isn't complete trust a beautiful thing? Absolutely! However, trust must be earned, not given freely.

Life is a journey, and we travel with other people.😊😊😊

So, the next time someone showers you with compliments, pause. Thank you for your kind sentiments, but remember that they are only words. Keep an eye out for their action lines, consistency, and commitment.

Recognizing that deeds speak louder than words, we make room for connection and develop a true life full of relationships that will continue until the end of time. In this way, you develop connections based on genuineness, so you're not hurt by the thorns that lay beneath sweet nothings.

The Path to Forgiveness

The Path to Forgiveness: Lighter Hearts, Lighter Lives Life is not always easy; unexpected turns of events frequently hurt, betray, and disappoint us.

 There's no way to avoid it. Marks of negativity crashing down on us with the pressure of continuing to forgive others do not excuse their acts.

Forgiveness is profound and transformational in ways that words cannot express. Forgiveness frees us of resentment, rage, and bitterness. It basically gives us back control of our emotional well-being, allowing for healing, growth, and, finally, inner peace.

Forgiveness is a purposeful decision to let go of all the baggage that weighs us down, such as anger, resentment, and negativity. This allows us to move on to the light of the heart. One liberates oneself from the emotional load and exposes oneself to other possibilities.

It does not erase the crime, nor does it absolve the culprit of culpability. It's just about letting go of the emotional baggage associated with the hurt.

Leaving the Past Behind

If we choose to hold onto our anger and bitterness, we become bound to our past. Forgiveness allows us to move forward in life. Forgiveness does not imply forgetting what was done, but rather not allowing it to define you or your future relationships. It frees us to heal and live in the present moment.

Forgiveness is a gift to ourselves, not to those who have mistreated us.

Keeping a lot of negativity in our brains and systems does not serve us well. It is about self-care rather than the one who hurt us. How can you love yourself if you are harbouring so much hatred?


Health Benefits of Forgiveness:


(1) Lower levels of depression and anxiety


(2) Less hostility


(3) Higher self-esteem


(4) More life satisfaction


Why forgiveness matters

Personal Liberation: Forgiveness frees one from the bonds of bitterness and hatred. This act allows one to feel free and restore their emotional well-being. It has a relaxing effect on our brains and spirits.

Improved Relationships: Forgiveness toward others promotes stronger relationships and elicits sentiments of empathy.

We must remember that forgiveness is not a submission to the other party's atrocities; rather, it is the result of actions of bravery motivated by self-compassion. When we forgive, we begin to let go of our past and make room for healing, love, and progress.


Let us go on this transforming path towards emotional liberation and a brighter, more compassionate society.

Remember that forgiveness is not about endorsing the offence; it is about freeing oneself.

It may appear simple, but it is a lifelong commitment. It requires consistent practice and an agreement with oneself to achieve self-awareness. Yes, there will be potholes in the road—times when forgiveness seems out of grasp, almost like a distant ideal.

But the important is to keep moving forward, acknowledging your efforts and applauding each step you take in that direction.

Non-Judgment

''Non-judgment: The Gateway to Inner Peace and Harmony''


Happiness is a state of being that everyone seems to be after, from across borders and cultures. However, how one reaches this mysterious state of happiness and fulfilment remains obscure for many.

"Do not judge and you will never be mistaken.".

Passing judgment on someone or something is certainly an inherent human tendency that many of us have. We all judge through acts and decisions made by people, be it appearances or options, typically arising from our experiences and attributes that we deem necessary. Furthermore, we go ahead to judge people or pick situations or even objects based on a meagre account of information out of what is being presented to us at that moment.

It provokes blocks in the mind, creates a feeling of superiority or inferiority, and ceases the person's capability to empathize; it breeds conflict and is, therefore, the negativity that spawns thoughts.

Working round the clock with the habit of judgment is this continuous fraying force inside of us; it is the tension it exerts on relationships with others.

We view everything in this world based on our own perspectives. More often than not, our judgments are honestly being tainted by our experiences and prejudices.

Requires less judgment and more of a perspective shift.

Replace judgment with curiosity.

Instead of jumping to conclusions, ask the question, "Why?"

Try to understand what is really motivating and the actual context in which an agent acts or decides.

Stop judging and let a thousand possibilities come rushing in. We see people differently and embrace the power of empathy and understanding as it brings the level of stress down, connects better, and makes one look at life more positively.

The judgement itself is succumbing:

What it really means is just becoming aware that you don't know everything indeed, far from it. But it's your choice not to harbour bad feelings or judgment against yourself for not knowing everything.

Judge Nothing:

When we really make a conscious choice not to judge other people, we free our minds and hearts from so much negativity.

We start our journey to understand by seeing the world through a window filled with awe and a sense of opportunity followed by a view that allows us to feel value in the natural beauty and complexity of something without necessarily anything attached or labelled concerning the phenomena of the experience.

Looking deeper than what meets the eye:

• That can be powerful reasoning for us to know more about the other and yet not judge.
• Instead of any conclusion or judgment being drawn immediately based on what one might be observing on the outside, consideration can be taken into the deeper motivations and reasons that are propelling him. 
• Surely, he can be having an inner struggle that remains invisible to us, or his behaviour can be because of the circumstance and environment in which he is trapped. 

This change of perspective is immense; it has empathy toward others and opens doors for better, more humane ways for us to come together with them.

Much more constructive dialogue becomes possible in a wide variety of contexts when we simply approach them with genuine inquiry rather than automatically seek to find something wrong. 

We learn to realize and accept what is wrong without necessary judgment of the situation itself. 

That would be quite a paradigm shift, one that might just make conversations of division into unity for a world that is less divided and more unified. Probably the most significant and applied application of the concept of judgment has to do with learning how not to be judgmental and to learn to be more forgiving toward oneself. 

We let our self-talk verge on abuse all too often, where we pound relentlessly on our failures, character defects, and so-called inadequacies. The attitude of non-judging gives us a chance to embrace our less glorious selves with a modicum of compassion to embrace our faults and imperfections in such a way that one can lead to internal peace. 

The most important building block of real happiness and well-being is self-acceptance. 

Life, of course, brings along its own set of struggles and hurdles that definitely do come across our path sometimes or the other in life. But the real test in life really manifests, when we are really trying in earnest practice this cardinal principle of non-judgment, and one tends to take a bit more in our stride with far greater resilience realizing some intrinsic peace and valuing the process in and of itself. 

True happiness is ultimately found deep inside of us. Fertile, rich soil is built by the open choice of not judging, whether that be ourselves or other people. Happiness itself grows into something that can be shared with others in one way. 

We are open to fully recognising and taking in life's richness. We are open to life in its massively wealthy form. So beautiful is it that, at times, it seems hard to take in. 😊
