Life of an idiot


Buddha was a Prince. He was born in a garden under starlit sky with silver spoon in his mouth suckling honey.
He was not happy and wanted more and better life!
Yesterday I am driving back home after two weeks, I have lot of home work to do. I was to leave two days back but I held back - because I am working in an atmosphere that is chaotic and none is doing anything - hardly they are there for two or three days. Meetings and meetings. Slowly things are critical and everybody likes to avoid accountability and make others accountable. I have joined four weeks back. I am asked to relocate.
No point in complaining - I have no option but perceive all as is - that is in silence.
I started at 11-30, it is Friday, some one called me from his home - asking me where I am.
I am going home. I worked until 3 am, checked the result in the morning. Waited till I found none is in the office till 11-30 AM and left.
About 2 hours later another call, where I am - project manager.
I am going home and I am already two days delayed - I was to go home on Wednesday!
Client is complaining that the whole gang is missing! The gang usually appear on Tuesday afternoon and disappears Thursday afternoon. They all work from home - meaning there by they attend meeting over conference Bridge.
Talks Talks and Talks.
I am here for 12 years - I am yet to see any project successfully completed no matter how many billion dollar is spent unless it is done in China or Korea or Japan. Two decades long wars are lost. It is high time they offshore WAR.
I was deep in thought - I do not enjoy my work! I was driving at 80 mph.
Suddenly, I was rebuked hard. I was jolted by the command that just came from my behind.
"STOP THINKING! You are not brought up for last 62 years with every facility and protection day after day in order for you to think!"
I am indeed 62 years old baby Prince Tutankhamun and I have my divine job of seeing the world and not to assume or THINK.

"DO YOUR SEEING AND DO NOT PRESUME - YOU ARE NOT PAID OR FED OR LOOKED AFTER FOR YOUR WHOLE LIFE IN ORDER FOR YOU TO THINK NOW. YOU ARE A BORN IDIOT AND YOU MUST REMAIN SO ENTIRE LIFE FULL STOP"
I focus on the road, I am driving home from a higher command at home, I must be home on Friday.
I had to save my marriage.

Three Truths

The ... are known as Seekers of Truth - the knowledge of Reality. Rudarigh, a great lord of Murcia Spain, decided to possess this Truth. He sought out Omar el-Alawi of Tarragona and brought him to his court and said, "I order you to tell tell the truths which you know and must be told in manner I understand, otherwise your life is forfeit." Omar asked, "Do you observe in your court when an arrested person tell truth in answer to a question that the truth does not incriminate him, and he is released to freedom?" "That is so", the lord said. "I call upon every one to witness this by the honor of our lord, and I will tell three truths and not one", said Omar. "We must also be satisfied and proof must accompany the telling, that you claim Truths are indeed so", said Rudarigh. "For such a lord as you are, we can give truths not one but three and they are all self evident", said Omar. ...

Master Baqi-Billah

It was said that a man went to the assembly of the master Baqi-Billah of Delhi and said: 'I have been reading famous verse of Master Hafiz, "If your teacher bids you stain your prayer-carpet with wine, obey him," but I have a difficulty.' Baqi-Billah said: 'Dwell apart from me for some time and I shall illustrate the matter for you.' After a considerable period of time, the disciple received a letter from the sage. It said: "Take all the money you have and give it to the gate keeper of any brothel." The disciple was shocked, and for a time thought that the master must be a fraud. After wrestling with days however he went to nearest house of ill-fame and presented the man at the door with all the money he had. 'For such a sum of money' said the doorman, 'I shall allot you the choicest gem of our collection, an untouched woman.' As soon as he entered the room, the woman there said: 'I have been tricked into being in this hou...

Relativity

A scholar said to ...: "You often say that our logical questions are incomprehensible to you. Can you give an example of what they seem like to you?" "Here is an example. I was once travelling by train and we went through seven tunnels. Opposite me was sitting a peasant who obviously never been in a train before. After seventh tunnel the peasant tapped me on the knee and said: 'This Train is complicated. On my donkey I can get to my village in only one day. But by train, which seem to be travelling faster than a donkey, we have not yet arrived at home, though the sun has risen and set seven whole times.'" ... I like this too - it can so easily be expressed in English but no great men of letters have written them. ... A certain Bektashi dervish was respected for his piety and appearance of virtue. Whenever any one askes him how he had become so holy, he always answered: "I know what is in Koran." One day when he just given this r...
