Strong Mind v/s Weak Mind

2011-10-04T21:59:00.000-07:00

Strong Mind

As strong mind always remains calm even in adversities. It never succumbs to temptations, and develops tremendous courage to say 'NO' to immoral thoughts and actions. It always remains free from prejudice, suspicion and jealousy. Clarity of thinking makes it possible to take right decisions and come to rights judgments. Such a mind will never indulge in wrong actions, prompted by evil emotions, such as anger, fear, hatred, etc., but will be always guided by serious, deep and right thinking. Positive thinking, concentration, fearlessness, adventurous nature, and self confidence are the vital qualities of a strong mind.

Weak Mind

A weak mind gets irritated and loses temper over trifling matters and reacts violently. Such a mind can easily succumb to any sort of temptations. Due to confusion, suspicion, and prejudice, it fails to take the right decisions and make impartial judgments. Such a mind always compromises with and surrenders to evil forces.

It cannot face challenges in life, instead tries to escape from them by adopting easy and cheap methods. Such a mind always takes recourse to weeping and grumbling. Such a mind never appreciates good qualities in others. Restlessness, fear, tension, laziness, frustration, superstition, and negative thinking are the main characteristics of a weak mind.

Summary

Four years back when my health has taken a back seat. The only reason I have managed to survives is that I has a Strong mind, tremendous will power and a panel of good doctors. I did not believe in faith healer he was design to ruin my life and other lives which he is currently ruing with his sweet talk. I fought, fought and fought now I am top of the world. Peruse and have tremendous patience you will always win.

DEPTH OF MATURITY

2009-09-08T06:05:00.000-07:00

My wife got a letter without that persons address; we were both amused by the quality of the letter and the maturity of the writer. Obviously, he/she did not understand the depth of the hurt that I went when I was not in my elements.

That which hurts, instructs. That which instructs, creates. I have been chiseled by hurt to become an Idol.

PERFORM.

2009-08-31T08:02:00.000-07:00

The best way to tell the world to shut up. Is to perform. Sterling performance.

SUCCESS

2009-08-19T07:29:00.000-07:00

Many people have failed because they could not handle their success.
Many celebrities succumbed to various forms of intoxication's because they could not handle the magnitude of their success.
The higher you go, if you fall, the deeper will be the fall. BEWARE.
Few, fall to rise. Many, rise to fall.

AWAKENING

2009-08-04T05:44:00.000-07:00

We have to grow through our experiences but not stagnate, shortcomings or incidents are a part of life, use them as an experience and grow out of it.
Life takes us through some incidents. There are a few that we understand whey it happened to us, for a few we will get the answer and there are others for which we may never understand the - why?

One such experience is on my cards too.

I and a friend of mine started an N.G.O, of animal rights. It took a lot of time patients, experiences and of course co–ordination to run this N.G.O. smoothly and develop it to a better organization by the day. Things were moving smoothly and so were our N.G.O. growing up until suddenly one day life took its toil on me when I had a brain stroke. I could not speak, could not write, my vision became autistic my right part of the body was paralyzed. It was a struggle for a few months, with the support of my family and friends I started recovering quickly. My N.G.O. friend also showed concern in my recovery. With the recommendation of an honourable M.P, (also an animal N.G.O.) my friend brought home a person to heal me.
This person seems to have super natural powers and could do miracles with any person’s body. He claimed to have powers in his hand and just by moving his hand in front of me he could heal me. This man was a “Breatharians” who believed that they don’t need to eat. They believe that their bodies can get all the energy; they need, just by breathing in and out and soaking up fresh sunlight. Breatharians have some juice, or coffee and an occasional snack every few months of so, but they don’t believe that they need anything else to survive and be healthy. That’s the belief, anyway but the reality is much rarefied my personal experience with this man possessing so called super natural power was an awakening to me. I could feel no changes or healing with his one or two sessions. I realized to my dismay he was a fraud and fatal fakery come into my life.
Unfortunately, my N.G.O friends faith in his super natural powers became stronger she was completely brain washed by him and started to follow his ideology of living. In the sense not Breatharians, but the faith so strong in him that she lost the self confidence of achieving her goals on her ability instead believing that the power of this man would bring her money all by itself to run her N.G.O and would make it big. Six months later when I got back to office, I was shocked, to see my organization was in a mess, in my absence my friend lost her motive and direction in life. It was all in a bad state. The very ethics or morale on which our organization was formed was lost. When I asked her, she replied “Christen Healer – he is the best thing happened in my entire life. My life is ruled by him. He writes my future. I execute it”. I was shocked; I tried explaining to her with great struggle. (as I still could not speak fluently) to come out of this man’s influence but “alas”. I was termed as an idiot she preached me to follow his path, over whelmed with these thoughts she said I am in a trance and at peace, he has changed my life. This argument had become an everyday scene. One fine day she took over the decision of resigning and running our – sister concern and the main N.G.O as two separate entities. She decided to take over the sister concern and run it according to her own new found ideology based on her guru - “Christian Healer”.
Not just my friend moved to her new office, she also took some of my staffs moved all the computers, office equipments even the smallest of stationery, claiming it to be her properties. I saw my fully equipped office becoming empty without an usher. Slowly one by one almost everyday she would come down to my office to claim something or the other. Then one fine day she asked for money, she wanted a split from the trust money. My silence at last broke. I showed her the trust deed. Which stated very clearly i.e. 9 (e) (i) All the trustees shall be vegans. Also as per our trust deed no funds and/or assets of the organisation will be given to any individual including you or any organization”. But my friend was blind folded and she is still. She decided to fight her way out to acquire the share of trust money by hook or crook.
She has tried black mailing, made hoax calls threatening me and family, putting hurdles in our work and missions, trying to acquire our work place and stop our work by breaking a memorandum of understanding between the two organizations. She is pulling me to law and police, yet nothing could shake me. My roots are strong; my path is right and I standing on right and stable ground. I am growing so is my organization despite all the hurdles. We have made many branches spreading all over India, developed better methods to run our organization which is moving steadily towards progress and a full fledged work for animal rights. As I have a lot of right people supporting me and my organization but not any “Looney Breatharian”.
I have not stagnated but grown from my experiences unfortunately my friend is deteriorating and is disparate to do anything just to hold on to her path because she is misleading by false belief. She is still holding onto her path and not come out of the ‘trance’. Not just my friend there is many people across the world who get mislead by such ideology. Many have even lost their lives. Breatharian definitely goes beyond a simple agenda for planetary peace. Sadly, it’s more than just delusional thinking. It’s also deadly. People have died trying to follow Breatharians – “living without eating”.

Vegan – The Voice of Animal Rights

2009-05-24T03:22:00.000-07:00

It was published in 22 May 2009 in website www.indianvegan.com/meetvegans.php.

I am a vegan since 1993. By birth I was a vegetarian born in Jain family. I have been brought up with the principles of Ahimsa ‘Love and Compassion’ for Animals. As I grew up and followed the path of Ahimsa I also discovered the horrors of dairy and leather industry I was shocked and horrified but at the same time enlightened and took the path of veganism and never ever looked back. I know I have to walk miles, but at the same time, I know it is the rights path. My passion for veganism, my dream to convert the whole world to ‘Vegan’ will happen as I have indentified a cause, a cause that seems larger than my own life, on which I am willing to invest every breath of mine to the very last breath. It is this passion for the cause of animals, this passion to make harmony in nature, will definitely unfold legendary possibilities. Extra ordinary people are ordinary people who will do everything with extra ordinary passion. That ‘extra’ is passion. My message to the human race is “Open not just your eyes, but also your heart and you will see the path, lets not be conditional in our expression of Love” let every blood cell of yours yearn with this passion, in anything and everything give that ‘extra’ and thus live an extraordinary life.

Hurt

2009-04-27T06:28:00.000-07:00

Since 10 years we were thick pals and she was founder trustee of our N.G.O.

Yes, she was my alter ego. My mirror image. When I had a brain stroke she cried profusely. I could not speak, I could not write, my vision become autistic; my right part of body was recovering from paralysis. When I reached my office after few months after my treatment to my shock she hugged me in front of entire staff and she started to cry. Both of our lives, where roller coaster, but, one person came and steadily changed her mind.

Her attitudes became worse, and she hurt me very badly. She became Frankenstein monster and she resigned.

I was helpless; I was shattered. I did not know what was wrong with me. A stray thought came in my mind, when I was so powerful before, why I should not bounce back. I did exactly that.

Within 1 year our N.G.O’s turnover has gone up twice. Our staff strength is 100+. We were 2 trustees, now we are 5 trustees. We are doing great guns.

From positions of being a mediocre, I have reached a position where I am on top of the world. All this happened because of that lady. I am grateful to the lady who changed my life. I still love her.

Honesty

2009-04-15T04:38:00.000-07:00

With honesty you overcome the fear of admitting you were wrong. By being honest you are making a statement, “I know I am not perfect and I have nothing to hide about it.” With honesty alone you declare to the world, “I am what I am.” Honesty is simply your way of telling the world, “Hey! This is me. This alone is me.”

ABOUT ME is just all ABOUT MY ATTITUDE !!

2009-04-06T07:04:00.000-07:00

"Just simply and honestly, I’M WHAT I’M!! - Who loves to express and never ever care to impress; Who always live life his own way and who don’t care what others say or think about him; Who live in accordance with his gut feeling, taking life as it comes and dare to go wherever it takes him.I believe and rely on the limitless human intelligence, which is capable to subdue anything under the sun. Being a pragmatist, I hate Utopian philosophies and ideologies. I’m a human being, my religion will be nature and both God and Fate has nothing to do with my life and me. Doing gives more satisfaction to me rather than thinking. I’m not a short-route taker in life’s path and prefer to head ‘straight’ and turn ‘right’. I always take up the way, which is less traveled and explored, and like to learn new things in life. I’m fun loving. It helps to keep my thoughts and imaginations clear and strong. No other power in this world can manipulate me or tempt me other than my attitude or perception towards it. Obviously, my attitude controls my life and me. So, all ABOUT ME is just all ABOUT MY ATTITUDE!!".

Dear Mr. Bafna,
