This video came to my memory when I saw the post fr a frd showing Kejriwal tendering an apology to Gadkari , Here Gadkari has failed to rise to the level of the father of the daughters. मूजे एक पंक्ति तुलसीदासकी की याद आती है, रामायण मे उन्होने लिखा था। " क्षमा बडनको चाहिए, छोटनकोकों उत्पात । 2। कहा क्या विष्णु जो घाटी गयो जो भृगु मारी लात " अर्थात जो बड़ा है उसको तो बड़ा दिल रखके भूल करने वालोंको क्षमा कर देनी चाहीये, भृगु ऋषिकी लात खानेके बाद भी विष्णु भगवान तो भगवान ही रहे थे । वार्ता कुछ ऐसे बनी। एक वक्त भृगु ऋषि विष्णु भगवान को मीलने गए, विष्णु भगवान तप करनेमे मशगूल थे, उन्होने भृगु ऋषि को देखा नही , एक आधा घंटे तक इंतज़ार करके भृगु ऋषि थके और बहोत गुस्सेमे आ गए, इतने गुस्से मे आए की विष्णु भगवान को एक लात मार दी । " साला, देखता नही है, मे कबसे इंतज़ार करता हूँ ? " लात खाई लेकिन विष्णु भगवान चलित नही हुये, और भृगुकों माफ करा दिया, ऐसा करनेमे विष्णु भगवानने अपना भगवत्व झारी रखा , उनका वजन कुछ कम नही हुआ बल्कि बढ़ा।

પશ્ર્ચિમ રેલવેની સેવાઓ

એસી ડબલ ડેકર ટ્રેનમાં બેસીને મુંબઇ આવવાનું થયું. પશ્ર્ચિમ રેલવેએ આ ટ્રેનને સારી- સ્વચ્છ રાખી છે. ઝડપ પણ ઘણી સારી છે. ટીસીઓ પણ ઘણા વિનયી લાગ્યા. પ. રે.ને આ સેવાઓ બદલ ધન્યવાદ. ટ્રેનના ડબ્બાઓમાં મુસાફરો વાંચી શકે એ રીતે ડેશ બોર્ડ મૂકવામાં આવ્યા છે. જેમાં વારંવાર ટ્રેનની ઝડપ, આગલું સ્ટોપ કેટલા કિ. મી. દૂર છે, સીટની નીચે કોઇ વાંધાજનક ચીજવસ્તુ અંગે સાવધાની રાખવી. બસ આવી જ માહિતી વારંવાર દર્શાવવામાં આવે છે. એકની એક માહિતી અનેક વાર વાંચી મુસાફર કંટાળી જાય તેમ પણ બને. આ સીસ્ટમનો ઉપયોગ લેખકો, નેતાઓ, કવિઓના કવોટેશનો, આજના તાજા સમાચાર, સારી કવિતા, ગઝલો પ્રસારિત કરવામાં પણ નહીં થઇ શકે અને આ બાબત માત્ર અંગ્રેજી અને હિંદીમાં રજૂ થવી જોઇએ. કારણ કે ટ્રેનો માત્ર પ્રાદેશિક સ્વરૂપની છે. તેમાં હિન્દી લિપિમાં ગુજરાતી આઇટમો પણ રજૂ થઇ શકે. ટ્રેનો જયારે શરૂ થઇ ત્યારે માનવ સંપર્કના અગત્યના સાધન તરીકે આ સીસ્ટમ ગણાવાઇ હતી. આજે પ્રસારણના સાધનો વધ્યાં છે તો રેલવેના ડબ્બાઓમાં વ્યક્તિના ગુણો, સંસ્કાર ખીલવવાના તરીકા પણ અપનાવવા જેવા છે. દા. ત. ગુનો ન કરો, ટ્રાફિકના નિયમો પાળો, સ્કૂટર ચલાવો ત્યારે હેલ્મેટ પહેરો. ઘરે તમારા મા-બાપ, સંતાનો તમારી રાહ જુએ છે. મા-બાપની સંભાળ રાખશો, તો તમારા દીકરા તમારી સંભાળ રાખશે. ધનલોભ તમને જેલમાં ધકેલી દેશે. વિ. વિ.

          Worries kill more Men than Wars ! 

                                                                                  1             18/3/14

             We  hardly observe the patients around us , particularly when we visit our  sick relatives kept  in the Hospitals, the patients in the wards around, the patients who comr to consult the doctors for their illness. Worry, anxiety are silent killers , diabetes and high B.P. come next. Have you ever seen a man of  75 Kg weight, losing 17 Kgs  within a short span of time ? Not for luxury or for reducing weight but by remaining under constant terror of worry and anxiety ?

          Carnegie has adduced a case of one  Ted Bengermino of Baltimore , Maryland, USA . He went on worrying so intensely that he lost 17 Kgs  weight , was reduced to skin and bones He went on worrying about the course of the war, his family,the hardships of other soldiers etc. Ultimately he was shifted to Army Hospital , studying his case, the doctor said: “ I want you to think of your life  as an hour glass. You know there are thousands of grains of sand in the top  of the hour glass and they pass slowly and evenly ythrough the narrow neck in the middle.You or I cannot make  more than one grain  of sand pass  through thius narrow neck  without damaging the hour glass. You , and I  and all others are like this hourglass. When we start in the morning  there are hundreds of tasks  , which we feel, we must accomplish before the day is over, but if we do not take one ( task)  at a time  and let them pass through slowly and evenly , as do the grains of sand, passing through the narrow neck of the hourglass, then we are bound to break our own physical or mental structure. “

           Then let us learn a lesson from above case , and that should be, “ One grain of sand at a time , one task at a time “

           Many great men and thinkers have  expressed important ideas  on such cases:

       “ When I look back on all these worries,I remember the story of  the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life,  of which never happened. “---  Winston Churchill, Wartime Prime Minister of England

     Achievements of Christianity   ( 2 )

                    Christianity desired that all those who did not know it, should be persuaded to learn the basics of religion. This was the first step towards  increasing the population believing in the Christianity. When we were young, the groups of Christians came to our backward class localities, sang the songs of their religion, distributed the booklets at nominal price, sometimes they brought old picture box with colored pictures and explained to the audience various incidents in the life of  Jesus Christ.

                   We could see that the followers of Christ were simple people, bare footed and that they were non-vegetarians too.Jesus himself was a shepherd and he was reared as a carpenter, as his father was like that. He came from a very humble back ground  . Jesus could ride a donkey  and give status to that animal. If he could give status to an animal, he could give status to  man too.

                  Christianity  had no restrictions on food. the followers could be vegetarian and non vegetarian too. Jesus himself was a non vegetarian. By embracing the Christianity the new comers had not to lose either their dress or food habits.

                It did not prescribe any dress stipulation, any body could  put on any dress as per his ability. Beautiful or costly dress did not give special status to a person at the same time  dirty or cheap clothes did not lower the value of any body.

             Christianity gave awakening , education and status.

            Jesus Christ stood for simplicity
            Jesus Christ stood for healing the sick. even if they were poor or from backward background
            Jesus Christ stood for  love . Love even to one's enemies . Enemies were to be won over not
                      by violence and reprisal but by love and compassion
            Jesus Christ stood for collective living , all were treated as equals and no discrimination among
                        the followers.  There were no discriminatory wadas , palaces for some and ghettoes for
                        others..

            Jesus stood for spiritual equality, no one was nearer  to God and others further than him. No one
                     superior to any one and no one inferior to any body. All were equal children of God. All were
                     children of God. The relationship between the followers and the God was that of father and
                     children.
           Jesus stood for Abstract God. God had no specific shape, height, color , language . he was Abstract.


                              Bible
                             -------
                   
                          Bible was the first book of the world which said all men, women, children irrespective of their caste, community, social, financial back ground , were equal , not only on the earth but also in the eyes of God. No man was favoured and no one was condemned  by God.
                         
                       Bible created equality between servant and the master . It gave status to work-culture as Jesus himself was a carpenter and a shepherd. With this example , the Christianity started assimilating  the poor within itself . It started giving status  to the backward Classes and the castes.

                     Christianity started recruiting its priests from all sections of society without any favour to any particular caste or section or region.

                Within a short time Christianity attracted the notice of the poor of the world as it presented a God who was sympathetic even to the sinners if they repented their sins . It gave peace of mind to the aggrieved, the sufferers when they forgave the wrongs done to them. Here there are repentance by the wrong doers and forgiving by the aggrieved.


     
     
                   

Achievements of Christianity ( 2 )

Achievements of Christianity Part 1. Bharatbhai R pandya

  Achievements  of Christianity      Bharatbhai R Pandya part 1.

                                        ---------------------------------------------

       1. Jesus Christ gave rights to  all  irrespective of caste, color and country. 

     In Europe Christianity disturbed class relations, upturned societies  as a result complete transformation took place.----- Christianity meant change . Peoploe who were fed up with centuries old conventions, prejudices, inequalities found new heaven in Christianity.  At the same time Christianity does not believe in bringing about change through violent means as the Muslims did . It gave emphasis to change of heart  and not change of dress  and outward show of human beings. 

      

       2. Christianity gave rights to spiritual equality . What is meant by spiritual equality ? It means that the access to God is open to all without any hindrance of caste, cclass or gender. Hinduism monopolized spiritual equality among three castes only. How to widen this right ? By spreading education . If common people are educated then they can read the books of the religion, the Bible.   Bible became harbinger of  Civil Wars  which produced new social equations  as in America. They priests and administrators put Bible in the hands of all people . In Africa, the settlers went there with Bible, English language  and concept of God who was very considerate, sympathetic and pitiful, of forgiving nature .People came to know of new God who was very accessible and they built Churches in villages and Cities and invited even those who had not embraced Christianity , to come and worship the God. . Similar thing happened in Islam. Before starting the Namaz , the bangi mounts on the minaret and shouts to his full voice, and gives invitation to the listeners saying that, " Oh believers in all mighty God, come here,come here, we all pray the all mighty God together " This is called Azan.    (b)   In India Hinduism acted in a narrow manner, it closed the doors of education on 85 % of people, who were called Shudras  and limited the access to God only to the three Varnas 1. Brahmins 2. Vaisyas and 3. Kshatriyas.  Woeshipping God awas strictly forbidden and in Ramayan Hindu God Ram is said to have killed  one   Shambuk  who worshipped him ! This is not only shocking but shameful.

         3. The Christianity delivered human rights to the people whom they dominated at their door steps, while Hinduism took a very narrow and  inhuman approach to this aspect and denied human rights to 85 % of people as if they were aliens and conquered subjects.So national  Integrity was tyhe first casualty and it became easy for the Islamist aggressors and the European powers to find a foot hold on Indian soil, expand their influence from commerce to politics and then onward  to subjugating the entire sub-continent.  The prevailing caste System made their task easier  as there was not left any sense of human dignity and self respect among  most of the people because every layer of Caste System except the Brahmins , was graning under the domination one or more castes over them. The Kshatriyas were dominated by the Brahmins, the Vaishyas were dominated by both the Kshatriyas as well the Brahmins. Then the Shudras were dominated by the Vaishyas, the Kshatriyas and the Brahmins .  No where in the world there was such a system where the layers of  people were both the dominated as well as the suppressed.

        4. Even Gods were discriminatory in their attitude toward the suppressed. The Gods never favored the suppressed , this ran in  total contrast to the Christianity and Islam. Christianity treated all the people as equal and human, even Islam also behaved that way , and treated all the people as humans and worthy of human rights.     ( Contd )
