'I learn the way back to my place'

 Aruni, “A man is led by a group of people with his eyes covered and that mans belongs to the place known as Gandhara but the group of people left him where there is no one and to an unknown place. The man is not knowing where is east and where is west. After some time when the group of people left him all alone, he removes the cover of his eyes and found no one around him. And that man walks many miles and found someone and he ask about the Gandhara place, ‘they will direct the man to walk in that direction or walk on that road,’ the man use his judgement and after querying many times and walking from a village to another village arrived at last to Gandhara, his place.”

“When he arrived back, the man told his teacher I learn the way back to my place, though it delayed and therefore by learning, I shall be perfect to choose the way. ‘That which is subtle essence, in it all that exists has its self and that self is the truth. It is the self and that is the only art.”

(Upnishads started a trend of communication of storytelling and through these stories, Upnishads tried to make the essence of Vedas understand. These are some short stories from Khandogya Upnishad , Sama Veda from different khands)

‘We suffer every day and every time for unreality ‘

  About 2 thousand and 5 hundred years ago, Gautam Buddha discovered the Concept of suffering, cause of suffering and the golden rule to cease the suffering. For Buddhist, suffering is manifests within the conscious. Gautam Buddha after dwelling so many years found the concept of suffering in society and developed the methods to cease that suffering in lifetime. But still, after 2 thousand and 5 hundred years, the suffering prevails and people are suffering.

   They believe only in the power of nature and liberation is to overpower the rules of nature. They do not feel cold even in snowfall or hunger even after keeping fasts for long-long months. This class is fascinated by the nature of Lord Shiva who is known as a destroyer of the world in the system of Hindu religion. But scholars point out that this sect is not associated with any Hindu philosophy,   “ Tantrism is neither Buddhist nor Hindu in origin.

These esoteric practices, when associated with the theological speculations of the Saivas and the S

Good or bad, voice calls you within

  “It is the inner voice that guide me for my action,” said a 7-year-old girl Sara to her friend softly but confidently. She looks all around and continued, “My mother said that we all have good and bad voices inside us and within us and therefore I daily offer prayer that my good voice should speak loud.” This is not the new thing to talk and not even children discuss such things but even grown-up talk about such moral and evil design inside us. The story of good and bad voices is a story of generations and it went like this even for generations. Whenever there is a debate on morality, the story of good and bad voices emerged in one or in other way. The theory of good and bad voices, say, that every human I shaving two powers within and these two powers are good and bad and these powers always and mostly on every issue suggest or guide to do things accordingly, and, we are the judge who decide which power is better. It is we, who decide to hear the voices of good one or bad one. I
