Philosophy of Faith in God

One must only believe in God, as it doesn’t have any downside, except for curtailing your quest for origin & design of universe to some extent (which is also good rather than getting into extreme disbeliefs and breaking head over it). This Belief does not have any negative impact on day to day functioning.

Simply put, if God is there, he would grant you whatever you seek upon worshipping him. During worst phases of life, you find solace in the divine entity. If he is not there, that’s ok, it will be a self-healing process.

Pragmatic positive aspect of this Faith is that, after having a re-instilled faith in the God, you would get rid of clutter of questions on future and past and you make God & the circumstances at those points of time responsible for it, rather than taking the credit / onus onto yourself. Thus your mind becomes calm, settled, peaceful, focused and agile. Thereby you are able to take comprehensively thought out, appropriate actions in present for betterment of whole mankind, by keeping in mind the latest technological advancements, those are available in universe. 

In the process, after imbibing the concept of universal oneness, you tend to be become compassionate, selfless, kind and sensitive towards people and more humane in nature. After all, that is what is the only the purpose of life; if you are born as a human being, you should live a life like being humane, however bad or good the circumstances are, isn’t it! Above all, as a by - product, you will get peaceful sleeps too, which agnostics are not destined to.

I

This body is made up of bones and flesh, but neither bones nor flesh drives our actions / objectives / goals. It’s the stream of thoughts arising through experiential circumstances / the burning desire which drives to think to have a luxurious life which would be for the enjoyment of the body, to own a home, to own a car for the compendium of bones and flesh. This stream of thoughts is “Soul / Mind / I”.

The body comprising of flesh and bones is serving “the Soul / the Mind / I”. To achieve objectives of life, you must order your flesh and bones to stretch the boundaries, step outside comfort zones, strive for recognizing its limits and potential to work, wear out and sweat out during times of peace so that they would bleed less during the times of war.

can science make this happen!!!

an undying quest to understand, standardize, stabilize and put an end to life cycles

In a purist way, Death (Natural / Accidental / Suicidal) means cessation of blood flow mixed with oxygen to the brain. Heart is the only culprit for disconnecting blood supply to brain. Functions of the heart are to pump blood & oxygen to brain and to other body parts.

Theoretically, in an atmospheric experimental condition, with the help of applied sciences, if oxygen and blood are continuously supplied to all the body cells alternatively, shouldn’t the body function without heart! Can science do away the Heart, and make lives remain forever?

finer aspect of life

It's the day - to - day living which wears you out; its not about facing a crisis. The question is do you have the grit, guts and courage to inspire rest of us; the question is not whether you can inspire. The minute you alter your perception of yourself and your future, both begin to change. The secret of passion is purpose; when you know your “whys” then “hows” start showing up. Thoughts of the moment which come unsought for are commonly the most valuable. All great work requires daily practice and endless patience. May you always do what you are afraid to do.

simple formula for success

Whenever you have a goal / an objective in mind, you keep on trying different ways and means to achieve it. Even if you fail in one or more means; you should never get demoralized. You should understand and record these means as the ones which you have been able to find out through which things didn’t work.

My advise is that at any cost, failures shouldn’t keep you grounded. Normally failures force / demand a person to be grounded and bring back to a point where he / she has started the process of goal achievement. At a subconscious level, failures transpire an optimistic person into a complacent and humble being automatically; sometimes force you believe a worthless person.

You should always bear in mind that this failure is simply a way which hasn’t worked for achieving your objective. Every time, you should bounce back and try harder; this time more vigorously, more intelligently and more whole - heartedly to achieve your goals.

Separation of Professional and Personal Life

You can build a successful career, regardless of your field of endeavor, by the dozens of little things you do on and off the job. How you spend the time off the job is the determining factor of how far you will go on the job.

But still people often say, “There was nothing personal in it, it was all about a purely professional fight". Unless you have reached a level of Self Actualization, when it comes to your own first-hand experience and at the very moment, there is no separation between professional and personal life. If your professional life has been ruined, it will certainly spoil your personal life, the turbulence in former creates chaos in the later and vice versa.

In theory there is a principle of separation of investment and financing decisions. They ask us to keep the two decisions mutually exclusive. The one who has mastered this art is destined to reach the greatest heights.

you should do what u need to

In general, the traits of (successful) people which you hate the most and which are challenging to imbibe, possibly might lead onto the path of success. Other way round which could also be true in a plain way is that you do not like the characteristics of successful people. Recognize the characteristics which they possess and acclimatize those, sooner the better. If you want to grow in life, you must exhibit these characteristics religiously. On the other hand, acquiring skills you do not possess guarantees growth in leaps and bounds vis-à-vis organic incremental growth through enhancement of already acquired skills.

mirage

During formative days of mankind evolution, Christian Missionaries thought that the earth was in a stationary state and the universe rotated around the earth. Over the time, it was proved that this was not true and the earth rotates around sun. But the people who had dared to propose the new idea first were ridiculed by the society, some of them were sentenced to death and few had to work underground for their entire lifetime.

Today, if someone is agnostic about the existence of Creator of the Universe and says that it is all a theory of accidental creation, evolution of vegetative state similar to the growth of fungus or amoeba and through physiological / biological adaptation of the species for survival in a cause and effect relation, the society is once again going to ridicule him / her. But few years down the line, all over again, if the contrarian view is proved right, then while looking back, people would wonder as to how much of the global resources, the time, the energy, lifetimes, money, the creativity and intelligence had been spent over the wishful concept.

on being unreasonable...

If I do not have an unquestionable faith in the God, I lose out few of the high content virtues to reason, rationale, sensibility, conscience and the law of cause and effect (i.e. sequencing of events).

Just to make the list exhaustive, the referred high content virtues, which also form the very nature of human existence are innocence, emotional outbursts, face value of firm faith in sub - conscious, vibes, no strings attached imagination and creativity, gut feelings & instincts, passionate obsessions, sixth sense, beauty & aesthetics, empathy, compassion & gratitude, indomitable will & confidence, spontaneous joy of achievement and sometimes optimism.

All the progress in the world has fallen in place due to these unreasonable virtues which hit hard & ignite to think beyond imaginations, liberate the passionate, industrious, resolute conviction & strive in the possibilities and radiate burning desire to drive to limitless potentials, carve out paths in connecting the dots & make things happen.

If I need to make a foray into the unexplored areas of mankind or spellbound self - transformation in leaps and bounds, I need to have faith in the already well researched laws of nature, presently bodily structures, efficient functioning of human organs at optimum levels and the formless Almighty to capitalize onto it till the last breathe.

Quest of an Agnostic Mind

Whenever I persuasively make a concerted and sincere attempt to bring back my faith in the God and ask him / her to be on my side forever, subtly the conscience surfaces a question for me, “Why can’t the God be on the sides of other people? Is it just because my yearning / seeking is the most effective?” At that point, on the other side, I have a strong faith that the God is Creator of the Grand Design of this Universe and is also Governing it in the most systematic manner. Doesn’t this mean, after all even the effectiveness of an individual’s longing / prayer is also being regulated by the Almighty himself / herself?

Then I shift my loyalty of faith to the Sub - Conscious Mind, again a whimsical concept as I may neither be courageous enough nor willing to pay the cost to shift this loyalty to Self - Confidence.

But it could also be possible that the derived faith in Sub - Conscious and the faith in Self - Confidence is the direct offshoot of the faith in God itself. May be!!! I don’t know.
