God Proposes, Man Disposes – An Inverted Truth

“Homo proponit, sed Deus disponit” or, Man Proposes but God Disposes; quite a common saying, isn’t it? A frequent justification for what went wrong; very age-old reasoning. We seek comfortable refuge in the understanding that a divine power is directing our ways. There is a greater hand; a higher power which is at work and the human agency is subservient to that power. The proverb can be traced back to the 1400s, in an insightful Latin devotional work, Of the Imitation of Christ. The author,...

Every life – a masterpiece.

At the very outset, Dr Ajay Shesh expresses his heartfelt gratitude to the many great authors and thinkers whose works have been instrumental in the quest for understanding his calling. He believes that in a literary journey, there will be very few authors whose thoughts, the power of their written word and experiences will truly resonate in your heart and enrich your life.

You and the Great, Big Universe

Despite the brutally existentialist nature of this question, ask yourself who am I? You are a child, sibling, spouse, parent and friend. You perform each role with love and sincerity. But have you wondered what purpose we serve in the context of this vast universe? How could we possibly contribute to the greater good of humanity? Will the winds of time carry the word of your deeds across generations?

Before we get caught up pondering on the answers, let us understand the prerequisites for com...

१९ वरषीय छततीसगढ़ हेतु अगले दस वरष निरणायक होंगे

नव-वरष के उतसव के साथ ही छततीसगढ़ राजय की सालगिरह भी मनाना हर वरष एक सुखद संयोग होता है. दशकों से मधयपरदेश वासी कहलाने के आदी रहे हम एक दिन जब छततीसगढ़वासी हो गए, तो पहले थोडा अजीब लगा, परनतु आज जब हम गरव से “छततीसगढ़िया – सबले बढ़िया” का नारा लगाते हैं, तो इस नयी पहचान से मन में एक विशिषट अभिमान का भाव आता है. अगर इस टेकनोलॉजी युग में हमारा युवा व हमारा नेतृतव देश के भविषय काएक महततवपूरण हिससा बनना चाहता है, तो इस शैशव अवसथा के बाद के अगले दस वरष अ...

HOPE AND CERTAINTY

In Hindi we often hear a quote – umeed pe duniya kaayam hai, meaning – the world exists on hope [for the future]. And truly enough, if the hope vanishes, everything becomes meaningless. In toughest of times and darkest of hours, from hospitals to churches, temples to courts – one thing that gives us vital energy and something to look forward to – is this small four letter word laden with possibility – ‘hope’.

Countless articles and songs are written, in fact, the whole motivational industry...

DISCIPLINE YOUR LIFE; SET YOUR DREAMS FREE

Whenever we hear the word discipline, our first instinct is to rebel against it. And why shouldn’t we? After all, discipline curbs personal freedom. But this is not true. We only associate discipline with negativity because we haven’t thought about it with a rational approach. Discipline sets us free.

Consider a beautiful kite that flies in the blue skies. The tactfully attached strings allow it to soar fearlessly. The wheels of the car are held in place using a number of mechanisms. If we g...

COMPASS OR SPEEDOMETER?: HOW ARE YOUR APPROACHING LIFE

The choice between a speedometer and a compass is indicative of how we want to live our life. Whether we choose speed over direction; whether we choose to run aimlessly or figure out our purpose.

What does a speedometer do for you? It denotes how fast you are going. But clearly, speed is a short-term pursuit that has several negatives. You tend to become selfish, putting our perceived goals before your relationships. Once addicted to the speedometer, we find ourselves running after short-ter...

SPEEDING YET LOST: A REFLECTION ON THE NEED TO FIND DIRECTION

Life in the 21st century has set a premium on speed. We want fast cars, fast food, fast loans, quick fixes and even quick affairs. While it is absolutely understandable that time is short and the 7.6 billion people in the world are all operating on twenty-four days to create their mark, what good does speed do if it has no direction? Why are you running when you cannot decide upon your destination? Where are your two feet carrying you? What I believe IS that in the past few decades, certain r...
