Parama Rahasyam

The greatest secret in Life is to attain joy by remaining silent and in enjoying the Silence. But it needs a great seer to break his silence to tell us the How of this secret. The Adi Guru with a Chinmudra shows this symbolically. The Parama Rahasya or Supreme Secret is observing Mouna. This never applies to practical Life, where I have to talk to earn Money or utter even a lie to escape Police torture.

Sometimes opening my mouth will put others in embarrassment or trouble. A simple silent smile would do. When I hear others, speak sense or nonsense but do not comment it becomes even more difficult. I must speak but softly and be careful not to hurt. All this is not practical at all, as I am not a Buddha. The only solution is to laugh at me. Whether WordPress gives me difficulty in embedding videos on Blog or Vista does not allow my data to work on other systems when copied.

Perfectionists do not sleep till they achieve perfection. I learn and improve or allow others to think I am perfect by remaining silent.

Bargain and Lose Blessings

Offers and Bargains in Malls attracts, but in the end the buyers are sure losers. The planned mind goes out of control and we buy things unwanted, happy that we gained something. All calculations and quality conciousness, suddenly vanishes. Like in Tamil say “Buy tonnes of Donkey shit for a Penny!”.
You pay the correct price and you have the power for getting quality. People are unaware of the price increase, variation and fluctuations. Gone are the days when I would bargain for Onions and Tomatoes or crackers on the eve of Diwali.
Recently I did check casually the bill from a Restaurant. The figure was very high and the Supervisor asked an apology as the entries were mixed up and doubled! Initially I had accepted the amount, though there was slight doubt. But I do not have the right to question the prices of the items in the Restaurant, Showrooms for clothes, groceries, electronics or Home appliances or a plot of land.

I bargain when I think the man offering services or products is weak. He may be a new entry into catering or a pundit in Chennai. Or I am the new customer offering a lot of new customers to him. When I think I am clever in finishing the deal of price with the Caterer, I am shocked by the services and quality he offers. And the Pundit sure wants the correct money to bless me!

Bargain and You even Lose Blessings!

Vaaranam Aayiram Trailer

I have not verified but the music has a touch of Harris. The trailer, Surya and locations are good.

Vaaranam Aayiram in Tamil literally means 1000 songs in praise of the Lord Vishnu sung by Alwars. Only the release and story should reveal the meaning. But I am sure the film will be a delight to watch.
