Launching myself

I dreamed of launching various startups but today, Im launching myself.
Hmm, what ?

I have revealed the long held desire of taking a long leave/break to my bosses and they are fine with it.

Its really tough to do that, very tough. I had to conquer my fears, muster courage and go tell them that Im confused, let me go for a while. (As if I was chained by them/office)

Yes chains existed, but mostly in the mind. But, some chains do exist - as HRs leave rules. For some, chains are family's need for money.

I'm a little excited/anxious/happy or all today, as I finally did the thing I waited for so long.
Now I have prepared the ground for my temporary exit here, thats exciting and also scary.

I will be launched soon into the world outside, to absorb everything in, to learn as much as possible, to understand, decode and try new things.

If I could set an example that with free time and a little money, one can do wonderful things and attain peaceful state of mind , it would be worth the effort.

Its important that now, I think through about how I wish to spend the next 6 months which is just 180 Days. Maybe I'll extend it to 9 months which is 270 Days !
What is the objective of this break ? What do I want from it ? Why am I taking it ?

I want fresh air, I want to be at peace, I want to discover my calling (cliched !! Boo booo )
I want to do creative innovative things that solve problems and add value.
I think I should not lay too much importance on this phase .. as one thing leads to another..
So I shud just congratulate myself right now on taking the first bold step.
Keep doing what you feel at faster pace and one thing leads to another and the divine power shall lead you.. Don't be in a hurry to tick off check lists just to go back and show people what all you have done and boast about it. Just take it slow, eliminate the need to justify or seek approval or convince..

3..2...1... GO!

Enough books stories n talk!

A random side thought:
We should do an experiment.. calculate the weight difference of a man before and immediately after death. That, if any, would give the energy of a persons soul, if anything like that exists. crazy! i know.

Main thought:

Why should we preach Vedanta, instead it should be sought !
The reason being that practically a man can survive in this world by working & creating value, and at present work and value addition are in the industrial and IT field. In the olden days a person who meditated , had great knowledge and did tough tapasya's would have certain powers, or lets say they had a way to add value to the society. They had special skills or divine gifts.. Then people would try to acquire such knowledge to add value and survive in the world. But nowadays, how is vedanta adding value to attract people to know more about it ? Vedantists or rishis or yogis only meditate, philosophize and run ashrams. What of the great skills, powers and value addition ? Ayurveda, new concepts, etc ? where is it ? If this knowledge of truth propels one into inaction I do not want it.

Ok, let all be one.. Maybe I and you , everyone is one , as advaita says , so what ? Let each individual or each I/you lost in material bodies realize themselves, How much ever talk or lecture we give, does it make anyone realize ? No. They must try to realize it and when will one try ? when will one , im sorry, we don't need 1 or 2 or the depressed lot which tries anything, we need real hero's to try these supposedly great methods. And for such to try these, they must be really something useful to the society or themselves, mostly society. Can knowledge through such learning , such philosophy , through calm composed mind gone through hours of meditation yield something useful other than mere talk ?
Can the secrets of the universe not be revealed, can they not be acted upon to produce great results, discoveries, and choose right paths ? cannot the yogi wield his power to win a gold at Olympics.. cannot he take sports to the next level and thereby attract more people towards it and thus help mankind to progress..

Cannot a master of mind do a menial task of thinking and breathing a certain idea and making it a reality by his sheer will power ? Thus showing the world its powers..

If it has not been done there must be a strong reason for it ..what cud it be ?
Say we humans become aware of this powerful knowledge or methods, we try it very hard to become powerful but maybe for wrong reasons and not for knowing the value of that knowledge.
But we do know that true knowledge cannot be obtained if its objective is to get something else, outside of the knowledge. Whateva.

I think it is possible, lets not talk. I shall try and dedicate my life to this education system and philosophy which we boast of , to see if it can do any wonders in the field of survival of a human, in the progress of mankind, etc..
