Dear Braandan,Originally Posted by Braandan
Welcome. Thanks for your new spark of Thought.
If None of the Options available here.. suits you, then please be specific... what you REALLY CATEGORISE as the Eleventh?
Will you elaborate and CLARIFY in a simple... Non-Philosophical language...
...as if you are telling an Ignorant Schoolboy?
Because I am unable to follow precisely what you mean by your comments on Mind...
...the IMPORTANT GUIDING POWER of Mankind. !
...
will post a detailed answer to sudhaama
IMPORTANT GUIDING POWER of Mankind? Mind? Duh..
So it has guided mankind to kill each other en mass. Invent the deadliest weapons and kill innocent women and children and glorify war with memorials and medals? Man is the only species which kills its own kind. This is because of the mind which only man has.
Mind can be used only for mundane things like looking for the nearest bathroom when you get the pressure down there. Mind is the creation of society sometime during the evolution of man into social beings. Mind is not the part of the natural body given to you by nature. Thank God that your heart beating, circulation, breathing, neural system all these work without your mind’s orders. The body is intelligent by nature not to give control of it physiological functions to man’s mind, else it would spell disaster to itself. Mind cannot be used for understanding any lofty things (whether so called lofty things like soul, consciousness, atman or spirit exist or not). Meditation, spirituality, worship, philosophy or whatever you call it are all balderdash for your real nature, not necessary for your nature at all. The mind needs them and of course the guru industry needs them for its survival. Mind is necessary for politics, economics, war, discrimination among human beings etc. to survive. But not necessary for the intelligent nature of yours to survive. All your “search for success”, “search for solutions” etc. are the mind’s way of entertaining itself because mind is always prone to boredom. The more solutions the mind finds the more problems it cooks up. There is no problem as such in this universe or nature. Problems exist only in the human mind. Cooking up problems and finding solutions and those solutions in turn generating more problems, is a game the human mind plays for itself so that it continues its existence without boredom. Nature is never bored of itself. Every moment nature is new.

Give ABUNDANT MONEY .. and MAX. PROPERTIES... to Your Children...
...if You want to SPOIL them... EASILY... of their OWN ACCORD. !!!
I being the sincere follower of Valhlhalaar Sri Ramalinga swami's Formula..
...பசித்திரு... தனித்திரு.... விழித்திரு...
...I am Always KNOWLEDGE HUNGRY... right from my Early days... and even during my current Last Chapter of Life...
...used to always go in search of it... by one and all ways and means available to me.
So I avail every opportunity I am able to get daily.
Because I believe that the GREATEST WEALTH and MIGHT... for Man in Life... is.... KNOWLEDGE...
...Higher and Greater than any other Treasure, Pleasure and Power for MEANINGFUL LIFE of Success and Happiness in Life.
So I used to make new Friends... wherever I go.... for Mutual exchange of Knowledge.... towards MUTUAL INTERESTS.
Accordingly once when I was travelling by Train in India... I initiated friendly talk with my adjacent seater...
...who appeared to be a Middle-class status... by look... although travelling in First class Compartment.
But after some discussions only... I could know that he is Highly Affluent being a Multi-millionaire Rich Industrialist cum Businessman as the Chairman of a Group Company.
I was wonderstuck.!
He answered my several Questions on PRACTICAL LIFE... by relation with Theoretical Stipulations and Code of Practice..!
In the course of discussions he narrated his Life.... Auto-Biography...
And he said :
I BURNT MY FINGERS and Learnt Life.!
...while my Three Brothers and Two sisters... who too Burnt their Fingers....
... but have NOT LEARNT Life...
Consequently they are living a HANDICAPPED LIFE... SPOILING their Children too.
...whereas I am RICH by Wealth... RICH by Peace of Mind... RICH by Success in Career and RICH by Health... and WHAT NOT.?
In brief... Based on my Life-Experience
My sincere suggestion to anybody..is...
..if You want to Spoil your Children... Easily.. of their own accord...
..MAKE THEM RICH.... by means of YOUR MONEY.!
Alternately if you want to make Your Children REALLY RICH...
...by the Sense and Purpose of Life... during their Future Adult-hood...
..Just give them... the APT SEEDS of Life..
...Not the Crops... Nor the Grains.... Nor the READY FOODS.
So to mean...
Do not give them Money at their EASY REACH... Nor any Property...
..But ONLY KNOWLEDGE & COMPETENCE to Earn, Live and Lead Life by Human-Values.
Yes. Unlike my Father... a NEGATIVE EXAMPLE for me or any Man...
...I will not give EVEN A SINGLE PAISA... as Property to my Children.
But I have shaped them well by imparting all the Means of Knowledge and Competence....
...by Education as well as Practical training... Good association by Friendship.. Efficient Leadership master-guides in their respective fields of Career-- matching wife by Marriage.. Basic Buffer money Security in the Bank as Security for Bank-loans-- Rent -free Houses to be used only to reside during their Life-time, but available to the Descendants one after another-- Industries and Trades to be managed alongwith other Professionals as Co-directors... and so on---
---making sure my Money cannot either spoil them... nor can be lost nor reduced due to their mishandling.
Consequently their INDIVIDUAL COMPETENCE alone can make them survive--- utilizing my money as Seed...
...which cannot be lost but will be unabatedly available to the whole chain of my generation... Grand Children, Great Grand Children and further beyond too.
That is how I have documented my Property- Will carefully and meticulously..
---such that even by Human-error or Miscalculation or Lack of care.. the Principal or Property content and value-- constantly remains safe and unafected.
Consequently my Chidren have to work hard and lead a really a Wise-Life constantly...
---so as to maintain their status and Survive in the respecive field...
Yes-- "Do or Die approach"-- in confronting with every challenge in Career and Personal Life...
No ROOM FOR IDLE-EARNING.
Thus if they sincerely adhere to the Human-Values and Codes as I have taught and shaped them...
...I am radically confident that they will be SUCCESSFULLY able...
... to Live on their Own... Earn of their Own... Success by their Own... Happiness on their own...
...and WALK and CLIMB too... ON THEIR OWN..in Life...
...without the Support of Walking-Stick... from their Father
It is not a New Formula... I have found out..
....but others have NOT THOUGHT over it.
May be other Parents not be able to give Property-buffer to their Children... as I could...
... due to their inadequate Financial status.. Still they need not lag behind.
Raise up your children to the highest status.... by Education.
That foundation of KNOWLEDGE alone-- will take care of them to stand firmly and advance on their own.
Yes. for example... we the Parents as our duty...
...we choose the Apt matching wife for our son and conduct the Marriage...
...and send them into the... First Night... Nuptial Room.
Then... Do we Parents have to give them any Guidance.?
So is Life".. He concluded.
