The statement "the only thing permanent is change" needs to undergo a change right

now. All of us know that unless we renew ourselves quite often we will become

obsolete. The reason for this is that while the statement definitely reflects the idea that

change is important, it does not seem to take into account the rate of the change.

The speed with which the changes are taking place today is unimaginable. It is stated

that innovations indicate the rate of evolution.

Inventions marking the innovations denote the evolution of man. For several

centuries there were not many inventions (read innovations) and the time was

really moving slowly with literally no changes in the quality of life of one

generation and the next. In the last century the world has changed faster than

the last few thousand years. Currently one calendar year contributes

innovations equivalent to several centuries, and the pace is increasing.

All these indicate the speed with which we need to catch up. When I say „we‟, I

mean the people who are supposed to do intellectual work (professionals). Let

us look at some of the following:

In the last one year, how many new concepts have we learnt?

What are the areas in which we think we continue to be an expert?

What are the new skill sets we have acquired to rollout our ideas?

What are the ways in which we have changed the way we have been working?

Has there been any changes in the time we have allotted for professional development vis-a-vis the time we

have for our personal work?

Have we thought about any new skill sets we need to acquire in order to enhance our professional success?

Are we clear about how we will be using technology to enhance our service delivery?

These are some of the preliminary and basic questions we need to ask ourselves. If for most of the questions our

answer is not in the affirmative, we need to look at ourselves. We have an issue, particularly because we are in the field

of adding intellectual value to our clients. We need to travel faster than the industry, we need to be ahead of others both

in terms of quality and quantity. If not we will still be jogging while others are running. Are we running or are we still

jogging?

Being authentic

Rekha Murali

[email protected]

(As published in „The Hindu—opportunities‟ dated October 17, 2012)

Being authentic defines living your life in an honest way,

in tune with your values, beliefs and goals.

The Oxford dictionary defines the word „authentic‟ as

„known to be real and genuine‟. In the workplace, it

refers to your genuine behavioural patterns and those of

your colleagues. It is very easy to be authentic with near

and dear ones without any fear, but what happens at the

workplace? With your boss or colleagues, you want to

be accepted and liked and hence play a role to fit in.

Although you may feel accepted by the group, are you

being true to your inner self?

You may feel confined and unreal. What happens when

you listen to your inner calling and try to be genuine?

There may be some initial resistance from your

co-workers or boss, who may have different

perspectives, but a

genuine person is

always respected and

accepted in the long

run. To be authentic,

you should not wear a

mask and be artificial

at the workplace.

So how can one be authentic? Although it may seem

unconventional and a little difficult to follow, being

genuine is more rewarding than not being so. Authentic

behaviour helps develop integrity, confidence and

self-esteem. When you are sincere and genuine, you

are able to recognise and face problems in an honest

way making it easier to arrive at solutions. Since none

can have a rigid personality, what is required is a flexible

attitude that helps you seize each opportunity that life

brings along to change and grow.

Focus on values: Focus on values that are important to

you and cultivate them. This helps you set clear

personal and professional goals. When there is clarity

about values and goals, you normally tend to be on the

right path taking the right decisions that help the team

and the organisation.

Be honest: At the workplace, communicate clearly and

with honesty to prevent any misunderstanding. You

need to say exactly what you mean in a respectful and

polite way, keeping in mind the feelings of the persons

involved. Gaps and hints in communication are never a

good substitute for honest feedback, comments or

opinions.

Avoid being judgmental: Being open and accepting

others and their opinions helps you have an open-mind,

which in turn helps you avoid jumping to quick

a s s u m p t i o n s .

This leads to a

healthy, genuine

relationship with

co-workers.

Check your

emotions: Being

authentic also

means controlling

your emotions as

you need to

r espec t and

consider the needs of others. You cannot upset the ap-

ple-cart just because you are angry with someone.

Try to look from the other person‟s point of view and see

if their perspective is different and beneficial.

Question yourself: To check your level of authenticity,

here is a checklist which can be done only if you are

honest with yourself.

Are you comfortable with the decisions you make at

work?

Do you feel loved and respected in the work

environment?

Are you giving your best to the job you are in?

Do you keep your promises?

Is your communication with your co-workers genuine?

Does your workplace make you happy?

Are you happy with your work?

If you have answered „yes‟ to most of these questions,

then go ahead and enjoy your work and relationship with

colleagues. Being authentic begins and ends with you. It

also motivates and develops authenticity in others. So,

be authentic and bring harmony into your life and into

the lives of others too!

You cannot be lonely if you like the

person you're alone with.

- Wayne Dyer


“Authentic behaviour helps

develop integrity, confidence

and self-esteem. When you are

sincere and genuine, you are

able to recognise and face

problems in an honest way

making it easier to arrive at

solutions.”


"Swamiji, I don't believe in God".

It was a young man, modern, tight pants, tobacco pipe

stuck at waist, trim thin moustache. He spoke English

with an Americanized drawl, and was evidently one of

our university products, with higher education abroad.

Sophisticated, to the points of his pointed toes.

Swamiji beamed. "Excellent!" With a broad welcoming

smile, nodding his head slowly, Swamiji continued:

"That's fine. I like you. You are the man I have wanted to

meet. I like your outspokenness. You are intelligent and

you think independently. You have the courage to speak

out your conviction, straight from the shoulder, as they

say. Now come, WHAT KIND of GOD is it that you don't

believe in?"

The young man, who had made his statement about his

non-believing, with a little hesitation, probably at his own

audacity at denying GOD before a God-man, was

pleasantly surprised at Swamiji's cordial tone and

benign smile, and, feeling encouraged, went on:

"This God, who sits above the clouds, and judges men,

and dispenses favours and punishments by

remote-control, at his own sweet will, don't you think

Swamiji, it is all hocus pocus?"

Swamiji laughed. "Shake hands, young man. I am en-

tirely with you. Now, we are two, together. I too, don't

believe in THAT KIND OF GOD. But........hmm, did you

have breakfast before coming?"

"Yes, Swamiji."

"Well, what did you have for breakfast?"

"The usual things, porridge, toast, scrambled eggs,

coffee...."

"Eggs. That's nice. Eggs! Now, where did the eggs

come from Ram, that's your name isn't it?"

Ram, with his brows raised, feeling that Swamiji was

leading upto something, said: " I don't exactly know,

probably one of those new poultry farms near Poona".

Swamiji: "I don't mean that. How are eggs made? Do

they grow in fields, or are they made in factories?"

"Simple. I think you are trying to pull my legs, but all the

same I'll answer you. Hens, of course. Hens lay eggs,

you know!" Ram said with an air of flippancy. Nodding

his head, up and down, thoughtfully, Swamiji Continued:

" I see, I see, so the eggs come from hens. Now where

do the hens come from?"

Ram, an intelligent man, could see the trap he was

being led into. He started saying: "Of course from.....".

Then wide eyed, looked at Swamiji silently. Swamiji

smiled: "So, eggs come from hens, hens come from

eggs, which again come from other hens, and so on,

ad-infinitum. Can you, Ram, say with any certainty,

which was the first cause? Egg or hen? How and why?

Swamiji, now

addressing all the

devotees present,

went on: "You see,

God is not just a

person or individ-

ual, sitting in a

palace above the

clouds, dispensing

favours. It stands

to reason that every effect must have had a cause prior

to it. The watch that you are wearing did not make itself.

Your breakfast did not cook itself. There was a cause, in

each case. The cause must have emerged from a

previous cause. GOD is now the first cause. The sole

cause. The UNCAUSED CAUSE. There was no cause

before Him. He is the oldest, the most ancient, He was

before TIME. The Sanaatanah, the Puraanah. This

`Causation hunting' is the favourite pastime of the

evolving human intellect -- trying to trace everything to

its ultimate origin. That which is beyond the point at

which the intellect gets stalled, is G-O-D. The intellect

cannot come to a conclusion as to the ultimate cause as

in the age - old example of the hen and the egg. `Thus

far -- not farther' is the limitation of the capacity of the

human intellect."

Ram was flushed with excitement. He was thrilled. In a

faltering voice he asked " There does seem to be

something in what you say, Swamiji. Am I to understand

that THAT is God?"

"That, which you now speak of as GOD, my boy, the

muslim calls Allah; the christian refers to as "My father in

Heaven"; the Parsee as Ahura Mazda. These are a few

of the different ways in which HE or IT is referred to, but

all are referring to the SAME SUPREME PRINCIPLE.

The cause behind all causes. The source of all that was,

now is, and ever will be. The Vedas refer to it as

BRAHMAN, the Absolute, the infinite. THE TRUTH IS

ONE. THE WISE SPEAK OF IT VARIOUSLY."

“But, Swamiji, the description does not seem to be

complete. Is that all that God is? How can one come to

know Him?"

You give but little when you give off your pos-

sessions. It is when you give off yourself

that you truly give.

“God is not just a person or

individual, sitting in a palace

above the clouds, dispensing

favours. It stands to reason

that every effect must have

had a cause prior to it.”


"Now, you are really getting somewhere. I have not

`described' God. He cannot be described. To define is

Him is to defile Him. What I pointed out only constitutes

one way, one manner, of approaching the Truth. It is just

one aspect. Now, Your second question asks `How can

one come to know Him?'

`Know him!' He cannot be `known' as you know this

table or this chair or your wife or your pipe. He is not an

object of the intellect. He is the VERY SUBJECT. Have

you heard of the great disciple of the Kenopanishad who

approached the Master and enquired:"Revered Sir,

What is IT, directed by which the mind cognizes objects,

the eyes see, the ears hear and so on?' The master

cryptically answered :"It is the eye of the eye; the ear of

the ear, the mind of the mind'. In fact It is the VERY

Subject that enables the eyes to see, the ear to hear etc.

It is not an object of the senses or the Mind or the

Intellect. Hence, to answer your question, I have to tell

you that you cannot make God an object of Knowledge.

An example will elucidate the idea. You are walking

along a dark country road at night, occasionally

illuminating your path with the aid of a battery torch; you

want to know how the torch gives light; you unscrew the

torch, you will not be able to see the battery cells, as the

bulb will not emit light unless powered by the battery of

cells. Similarly, the eyes, the ears, the mind and the

intellect, all of which get their own power to function from

the LIFE PRINCIPLE, cannot understand IT as an

object. God is thus conceived of as the life principle, in

every one."

The audience sat spell bound listening to Swamiji,

exposition of a difficult vedantic truth in easy lucid style.

"Then Swamiji, you say that God or Truth is something

abstract that cannot be seen or heard or touched -- or

even thought of. Am I right?"

“You are very much right. In fact, God is all this and

much more. The Bhagawad Geeta says: `Weapons

cleave It not; fire burns It not; water wets It not; wind

dries It not. This self cannot be cut, nor burnt nor wetted

nor dried.' It is not material; It is not matter, understand."

"Why did you `Self'?"

"The Supreme, Life Principle, is also the SELF in you, in

me and in everybody. It is the innermost core of your

personality. The popular misconception is that `man is a

body, with a soul'. That it is not correct. The Truth is that

`Man is THE SOUL, in a body'. He is eternal. The role of

the body is likened to a worn out garment that is dis-

carded by the wearer at his will."

Now, the other members of the audience who had been

listening with awe and reverence took the opportunity to

clear their doubts.

"Swamiji, if God cannot be seen or thought of, is an ab-

straction, is there any significance to idol worship?"

"Of course there is a lot. When your dear son is in

America, and you cannot see him whenever you want,

do you or do you not get solace by looking at his

photograph? You do know that the photo IS NOT YOUR

SON, but only a piece of paper with various tones of

grey, but it reminds you of your beloved boy and his

great love for you. So also the idols in temples are to

remind the devotees of the ideal, the Supreme. Since

the human mind cannot conceive of a formless

Supreme, God is conceived of in the form as

represented by an idol. To the earnest devotee, the idol

appears as a living embodiment of his Lord, and he

goes into ecstasy at its sight. It is, however, necessary

to remember that the idol is NOT God, but represents

God."

“Why is it, Swamiji, that as in Christianity or Islam, a

particular day of the week is not earmarked in Hinduism

for temple worship?"

At this question, Swamiji drew himself up, straightened

and roared at the top of His voice; “HINDUISM IS NOT

A PART TIME RELIGION." He then explained at length

that aspiration to associate with divinity cannot be

restricted to any particular time." Have you heard of the

school boy who said that `the earth is round on Sundays

and flat on other days'? So also, a man cannot be made

to be divine on Sundays and devilish on all other days.

(Maybe, most of us are that way!)

So constant practice, frequent association with the good

etc., are needed. The temple visits and worship should

elevate the mind of the seeker and help him to keep his

mind in a higher plane. He should also take other steps

to continue the purification of the mind at all times of the

day, at home, in the office, at the market place."

"What is a pure mind, Swamiji?"

"A pure mind is one which is calm, free from agitations.

Agitations are caused mainly by our likes and dislikes

and desires. Desires spell disaster, fulfilled or frustrated.

Mahatma Gandhi was very fond of the `Sthitha Pragna'

portion of the second chapter of the Bhagawad Geeta, in

which the causes and consequences of desire are most

graphically described. It is the ladder of fall:

"When a man thinks of objects, attachments for them

arise; from attachment, desire is born; from desire

(unfulfilled) arises anger; from anger comes delusion;

from delusion loss of memory, the destruction of

discrimination; from destruction of discrimination he

perishes."

Imagination is more important than

knowledge.

- Albert Einstein

contd on next page


Lasting change happens when people see for themselves that a different way of life is more fulfilling than

their present one. - Eknath Easwaran

Swamiji added: “The Lord also points out then the three

great entrances to hell are lust, anger and greed."

One in the audience asked: "I have read a good deal

Swamiji, I also have convictions. Yet, to put these values

in practice is my problem."

Swamiji "This was exactly Arjuna's problem. The Lord

advised him, Recognise your real enemies. They are

desire and anger, born of passionate nature, all

devouring and sinful'. Knowing your enemies will enable

you to destroy them. Knowing your weaknesses, you will

make efforts to discard them. Once you locate a dead

rat in your wardrobe, that was emitting foul odour, you

will promptly pick it up by the tail and throw it as far

away as possible."

"Our sastras have laid down a clear cut procedure. The

three - fold practice consists of Sravana, Manana and

Nidhidhyasana - Hearing is not in one-ear-out-the other,

`It is attentive listening to discourses on our great

scriptures (including reading them), contemplating on

the ideas contained therein, and lastly meditation. Many

people come and tell me that they have gone through

the Geeta many times. I tell them `Let the Geeta go

through you once at least. It will do you more good.' Not

just hearing or reading but absorption of the great ideas

contained therein, assimilating them, and living those

values will alone produce a radiance in the life of an indi-

vidual. Proper understanding and correct attitudes are

important. For example, we often meet the allegation

that Hinduism is an `out-of-the world religion' meant only

for the recluse. The spirit of Hinduism is not understood

by those who say this. Wealth is not taboo for the

seeker, but the constant craving for wealth IS. Property

is not prohibited, but one is enjoined to use it in the

service of society.

The vedantic concept of renunciation has nothing to do

with have or have-not, in a physical sense; it means the

attitude of non-attachment. The classical example of our

ancient lore is that of Emperor Janaka, living in the

luxury of a palace, but still considered such a great saint

and sage that great aspirants went to him for guidance.

If you ask me `how to start', my answer is `Just start'.

When? Now~

Today is the best day. A better day will not come.

The greatest master who lived and worked for the cause

of religion in India, Adi Sankara, has laid down the pre-

scription:

"Bhagawad Geeta and Vishnu Sahasranama are to be

chanted; always the form of the Lord of Lakshmi is to be

meditated upon. The mind is to be led towards the

company of the good. Wealth is to be shared with the

needy.

Now, many people wait for retirement to take to religion.

They will never take to it, because they will have new

problems in the way.

"There goes the lunch time bell. All of you please have

prasad at the annakshetra before you go."

Hari om! Hari Om!! Hari Om!!!

You will receive a body

You may like it or hate it, but it will be yours for the entire

period for this time around.

You will learn lessons

You are enrolled in a full time informal school called life.

Each day in this school you will have the opportunity to

learn lessons. You may like the lessons or think them

irrelevant and stupid.

There are no mistakes only lessons

Growth is a process of trial & error and experimentation.

The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the

process as the experiment that ultimately "works".

A lesson is repeated until learned

A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until

you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can

then go on to the next lesson (in that series). You are

going through many lesson "series" at the same time.

Learning lessons does not end

There is no part of life that does not contain lessons. If

you are alive, there are lessons to be learned.

"There" is no better than "here"

When you're "there" has become a "here", you will

simply obtain another "there" that will, again, look better

than "here".

Others are merely mirrors of you

You cannot love or hate something about another

person unless it reflects to you something you love or

hate about yourself.

What you make of your life is up to you

You have all the tools and resources you need. What

you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

Your answers lie within

The answers to life's questions lie inside of you. All you

need to do is. look, listen, and trust.

THE CHALLENGE IS TO KEEP IN MIND ALL OF THE

ABOVE!

The Rules for Being Human

Quotes of Philosopher-Lecturer Shri.J. Krishnamurthi

(Popularly known as JK & Jiddu).


Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

- Helen Keller

FIX THE INDIAN AND INDIA IS FIXED - this is the

motto with which Chinmaya Mission has launched this

book. The book says if each Indian is transformed then

the whole nation, INDIA is transformed. The main focus

of the book is the individual. According to the authors,

for transformation

to happen in the

individual, he

needs to improve

in 7 wellness

aspects, viz.,

Patriotic Transfor-

mation, Physical

Transformation,

Emotional Trans-

formation, Intel-

lectual Transfor-

mation, Cultural

Transformation,

Spiritual Transformation and developing an Universal

Outlook. If these are improved then he can lead a life

which is more meaningful and contributory to the

society.

The book starts off with messages from the President

and the Prime Minister of India. The foreword has been

co-written by Swami Swatmananda and Swami

Chidrupananda who are the Directors of the All India

Chinmaya Yuva Kendra.

The book was launched as part of the birth centenary

celebrations of Swami Chinmayananda, founder of

Chinmaya Mission.

The best part of this book is that all the seven aspects of

transformation which seem

quite redundant are brought

out beautifully in the form of

stories. The stories are

highly realistic and this

increases the effectiveness

of the message put across.

The story kicks off with an

exhibition organised at the

Andheri Sports Complex

where a character THE

ONE who is destined to

transform India would be

arriving. Later as the

chapter progresses the

suspense is revealed subtly and the core idea of the

book takes charge from there. The book is very similar

to a novel in presentation but much more effective and

educative than the usual novels. The arrangement of

chapters and the usage of language are deliberated

upon carefully. Also a word of praise to the authors for

their innovative idea of inserting quotes, snippets and

one liners. Reading these alone adds value to the

reader. The only drawback of the book is that it would

take time for the reader to absorb some concepts

explained in the book save otherwise this book is

definitely much more than a onetime read. But the

intention of the authors in writing it is much bigger, they

want the book to not only be read and enjoyed alone but

it should make the reader think, act and TRANSFORM

himself.
