What if you are the only person the earth?

Yes, right now what if you are the only person on the earth. 


It doesn’t matter who you are, what you have done ( I am not saying do whatever), but just keep in mind as a possibility, where you are, you might be even the son of God, Shiva, greatest guru of all time, been there, done that or even the savior of the world or even the cosmos.

It simply doesn’t matter who the hell you are?

Got it.

What is the feeling you get the moment when you think about such a predicament?


So, this is what your name, intellect, emotions, body, status – be it social, economic anything else is.


This is what everyone is trying to achieve with or through their family life, with the help of a spouse, family, relatives, money, career, achievement, success, mantra, or sadhana, kriya yoga, yoga, fame, God, astrology, health, business etc. or even through spirituality.


Still not got it.

See the whole point is suppose you achieved everything then what else, you did it, finally gave away everything, still have everything, whole world listens to you.


It is a perfect world out there.


Then what do you do.


Absolutely no defects.

You think you will be happy isn’t it. Exactly, you got it. Now tell me intellect is a good thing to be followed.


So in this case now tell me which is an easier sure shot of way achieving that state of eternal bliss.

Either directly do that makes you reach your true state that is eternal bliss or go round about with all other frills.


I am not saying quit your family life, job, give up your passion.

I am saying a rich person, a drunkard, a dacoit, even a sadist is trying to achieve the same bliss.

Only thing that differs is the approach.


Ultimately, the feel of bliss is the same for the rich person, the drunkard and dacoit.

Off course based on the actions, each one chooses, there is some consequences.

This is what most of us are stuck with. The frills. That is if I become rich then so and so...and I will be happy or I can face life even in case of most problems.

If I am having a happy family life, good finance, loved ones around and live a good life, then I will be happy.

In fact some are pushed to fight and have no other option. They do not like it. For example, say you are in a situation where you have no option but stand against the gross injustice that is happening around. 

So point why is either being happy or being pushed to injustice and getting sad or such emotions have to be the direction for your life. 

For eg: You fought all the injustice, then what? You became happy..or you got everything you became happy...see the whole thing can come down, change, or turn around any time..So the best thing is you be blissed out no matter what happens...and off course not to forget this is the true state.



I am not saying spiritual practices will not have consequences.

If you do them incorrectly or do your sadhana correctly and then do all kinds of nonsense you are bound to get reactions with interest.


For spiritual practices compared to the other forms like job, career, friendship, social service, ambitions, wealth, knowledge etc. have more chances of success in making realize the ultimate bliss.

So this means you get a lottery of a huge amount.


Now what you do with that lottery is upto you.

Invariably most people with easy money always end up losing it.

That is why most of us prefer the usual conventional route.


See choice is yours.

I am not saying spiritual path is the only way.

In fact I suggest you should transcend your spiritual sadhana as well.

What is the point if you become addicted to it also after a point in a time.


Yes, remember there will be tests on your spiritual sadhana.

In fact the severest tests come in the way of spiritual sadhana because you taking the direct route to the destination.


So do not compromise on your spiritual sadhana or practice at any cost.

But at the same time suppose you have to choose between all the wealth you have and your kids, spouse, parents, loved ones, friends, relatives and all the people dear to you.


Whom will you choose?

I am not putting you in a spot of bother.

Just saying beware of the attachments.


In short, remember what I said in the start.

Suppose you are the only person on the earth, then will it really matter if your Jesus, Allah, God, Guru, Buddha, Thief, Good Samaritan, Bad person, perfect in spiritual sadhana, smartest, strongest, divinest or the devil himself.

Get it.


So first TRANSCEND this entire thing you know, experience about life and death.

Choice is yours. Do it with your job, career, family, money, success, scientific temper, research, sadhana, mantras, money, charity, smartness, wealth, kids, spouse, or alone, however or combo of everything.

Once you TRANSCEND this you will still be here, in fact you will be able to the play the cards the way you want. Just make sure you don't play the cards foolishly. Else again you are caught in the rut.

It is about playing life untouched yet getting the experience of everything.

For eg: Imagine you are watching the movie of your whole life. Will you still be pained, happy or even ecstatic the same way. No because you are just watching a movie. So you can be the main role in the movie, be the director, producer, movie can be hit, flop or anything or not release or stop mid way as well. But you will simply be in a position where you are not at all AFFECTED in any way.

At the end even the path you choose should not stick to you or you should not get identified with it or say addicted to it.

For eg: you finally TRANSCENDED everything in life but what is the point if "U" still remain.

I mean not to say become extinct but if you have not created enough space between the "unlimited you" and everything else you are including your spiritual prowess (in short you should be able to throw it away just like that and start all over again or least bother as well about your spiritual prowess), then it's a waste.

Even your spirituality should not stick to you.

Off course nothing wrong in others getting inspired, other people helped by following your methods or even criticize your methods but point is are you so stuck to it

Get rid of a bad habit

Get rid of a bad habit

Yes we all know it. Everyone has it.

Problem is not the habit.

Do you know?

For eg: Did you know, Google most of your high achieving celebrities, most of them have a bad habit. Yes they are all addicted to something or other. SRK, yes he is a chain smoker. Did you know that? More importantly do you know how pissed off he is with the habit and sincerely says others to not get into that rut.

So how is SRK successful? Yes, maybe you will say rare case.

Okay agreed there are always many ways to look at things.

I say glass is half full.

You say its half empty.

For someone he says 50-50.

Yes, another example.

Someone steals a bun from a shop.

For one person it is stealing.

For the person who stole it, says he was hungry, needed for his brother, kid, daughter etc.

Off course, you can say it is wrong and it is typical lying or poor example.

It’s like most bad students say teacher is bad that is why he could not score marks.

You can brush it off as a bad example.

All I am saying is there are always zillions of way the same thing can be looked at.

It is just that are you open to look at things from every angle.

So coming to bad habits.

First know the nature of human mind.

In human there is only addition of thoughts and multiplication of thoughts.

That is either information gets inside your brain from the time your brain developed.

And the information is processed in various permutation and combination or say multiplied in all probabilities.

So there is nothing called as deleting in the human mind.

Nothing ever gets deleted or removed permanently from the human mind.

So to break any bad habit, you have to replace it with another habit.

Yes it is simple but you are not able to understand or get convinced.

For eg: You are addicted to smoking.

Suppose I give you a pill which gives you the same ditto effect of smoking but no side effects of lungs etc. then what will you do.

Get it.

The point is not smoking.

The pleasure you get from smoking if you get it from something else in a healthy way, easy way with the same ease and accessibility as smoking, everyone will quit smoking atleast drastically it will come down.

The point is the pleasure we get from smoking.

Same applies for every bad habit.

I can advice for alternatives but the nature of mind will start playing tricks.

It will judge the advice I give.

You will try to tweak.

You will say let me do it and if it does not work, get back to addiction.

So point is everyone in deep addiction wants to come out. Ask them given a choice...

I have said how addiction works.

Now you decide and come out of it.

This also some people will say crap advice.

See that is the nature of the mind.

So do not fight the mind.

Distract it.

That is all.

Keep your mind distracted from smoking.

For eg what if I can hide the habit of smoking from your brain.

It is already possible with hypnotism, not successful fully for all but you get it right.

The whole point is telling your brain to take instructions from you.

Do not complicate it.

Point is you want to get rid of your habit.

How will do you it?

You want to reach a place.

What are the options?

Either you will go or not go.

You will walk, crawl, take a bus,rick,cab, plane, cycle, take a lift.

Somehow you will goto the place.

Or you will not go.

That is all.

Same with bad habit.

You want to go out of the bad habit.

You do not want to go out of the bad habit.

Offcourse no assurance you will reach the place.

You can even meet with accident.

You might take time to reach.

Does everyone who left to reach a place, reach.

No guarantee, you leave your home, no surety you will reach home back.

So do not complicate.

Here goes one last advice.

Suppose you have bad habit.

Good.

Beat a habit with a habit.

Yes, develop a good habit.

Ensure the good habit overtakes your bad habit.

Yes give the same amount of time, try, try but develop any other habit.

Sooner or later the pleasure you get from the bad habit, you will get from the good habit.

You will soon outlast the bad habit. Find a good habit that gives you pleasure like the bad habit gives.

Eg as I said, the pill, remember. So instead of pill find a good habit. Pill was just a metaphor.

What if right now I give you a pill that will forever make you forget smoking till you die.

Get it.

Yes, just that develop a good habit that will engross you so much that you will come out of the bad habit.

Just be sure that even if accident happens or you faulter seriously, do not get hurt.

As I said you want to reach that place or not.

Maximum what will happen you will fall.

As if now what is happening with you?

You are falling slowly that is all.

So atleast fall trying to get up.

Replace your bad habit with a good habit.

You are smoker, then try something else also that you will get addicted, just ensure it is a good habit.

In case you get addicted to one more bad habit.

NO problem, is there any rule you should have only one bad habit.

Two bad habits. Good. Sorry for joke but on a serious note, now all the more reason to develop a good habit.

Keep trying it will happen.

Just remember you can’t fight the habit or keep it on hold and stop yourself.

Do not do it. Get it, it will only get stronger.

Replace the bad habit with a good habit.

For example if I throw you on an island till you die.

Yes food, shelter everything will be dropped.

But there is no iota chance of smoking, tobacco, drugs or anything else at all.

What will you do?

Get it.

As I said replace your bad habit, keep trying.

In short what if in the whole world all the tobacco, smoking, drugs, alcohol, related substance become extinct.

Then what will you do.

Yes, all the alternatives like your whitener, everything is made extinct.

No substance to abuse, see you get it.

That is why I said I do not want to give advice.

I am saying there is a possibility to beat the habit.

Say for eg what if you are surrounded by 5 friends for the next one year.

From wakeup to sleep to shitting, everywhere.

They will not at all allow you to smoke.

You are always surrounded this gang for next one year.

See get it.

So think for yourself,

Start and do not stop till you reach your destination.

Ignore the language, grammar, punctuation.

Hope you got the message.

How can I cover up my study gap and ensure a bright future?

This is the problem we identify with the situation instead of knowing the source of problem.

Alibaba founder Jack Ma is one of the richest people in the world, with a net worth of over $36 billion according to Forbes. But there was a time when he couldn't even get a job at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Here's the full article

The early rejection taught him an important business lesson: "You have to get used to failure," he says, speaking at the University of Nairobi.

After college, Ma applied for 30 jobs in his home city of Hangzhou, China. He was rejected from every one.

At KFC, 24 people applied for the job, says Ma, and while 23 were hired — he wasn't one of them.

The same thing happened when he tried to be a cop. This time four of five applicants were hired, all except Ma.

Another time Ma lost out on a job to his own blood.

"My cousin and I waited for two hours [in a] long queue to be the waiter for the four star hotel in my city, on a very hot day," he says. "My cousin's score was much lower than mine, [but] he was accepted and I was rejected!"

A post shared by University of Nairobi (@universityofnairobi) on Jul 21, 2017,

Ma was even turned down by Harvard 10 times, he tells Charlie Rose in 2015.

"I told myself someday I should go teach there maybe," he laughs.

Although he can joke about it now, Ma says the continued rejection was painful. But it prepared him for his entrepreneurial future.

"If you can not get used to failure — just like a boxer — if you can't get used to [being] hit, how can you win?" he says to the audience in Nairobi.

The fortitude came in handy when he founded Chinese e-commerce site Alibaba in 1999. In the beginning, Ma heard "no" a lot.

"I remember year 2001, we went to raise some $5 million from venture capitalists in the USA and got rejected," Ma tells Rose. Despite the setback, he didn't stop. "I said we [will] come back raising a little bit more."

Perhaps those VCs regret their decisions. Today, the company has a market cap of about $400 billion. When it went public 2014, it was the largest initial public offering ever.

Ma says he now passes around case studies about failure to colleagues at Alibaba, instead of reinforcing success.

"When you read too many successful stories, people go crazy," he says during his talk in Nairobi. "They think 'I can be successful.'"
But the truth is, says Ma, "When you share a lot of failure stories, you learn."
So till the age of 30 he was nothing but a failure.
So, at the age of 31, Ma started his first internet company called “China Yellow Pages.” The company made around $800,000 in the three years it was in business.

And now the rest is history.
So the problem is not about the success or failure or filling the gap.
If you worry about gap, what will you do if there an other gap.

It is about the journey.
See say for example, you want to be a body builder, what gives you more happiness. Off course, the day you won.
But what about everyday when you wake up to prepare, excercise, eat and work out.

See this is what we are supposed to be in. In the journey, the zone where we are always looking out for something.
Then you will not have time to feel sorrow.
See for example, suddenly imagine you and your best buddies plan to go for 1 month trip. Got that feel.

I know life will be normal after the trip.
But what about the time during the trip.
So coming to your question, you are not enjoying your current journey, so choose a journey what you want.

It's hard to believe because its simple.
But yes, in case you need to make a drastic changem, then do it.
don't worry about failure or consequences.

If it was not Jack Ma, someone else would have been there, done that.
So if its not you, someone else would be there and take that.
So only thing what you can do give your self maximum chances to be there done that.

FAILURE is not a big deal. I mean you are saying like this. what if suddenly after you read this answer, the entire world is nuked. Got it.
Don’t think about the gap. Not being negative but just saying the big picture. Get it.

If you are in this kind of a journey then you will know when to take a gap and gap will not dictate your life. In fact, nothing will bother, neither failure nor success.

You will beyond success & failure.
