Spiritual and Non-spiritual Genes.

"What they found is that different types of happiness have surprisingly different effects on the human genome. People who have high levels of what is known as eudaimonic well-being - the kind of happiness that comes from having a deep sense of purpose and meaning in life (think Mother Teresa) - showed very favourable gene-expression profiles in their immune cells. They had low levels of inflammatory gene expression and strong expression of antiviral and antibody genes. However, people who had relatively high levels of hedonic well-being -­ the type of happiness that comes from consummatory self-gratification (think most celebrities) - actually showed just the opposite. They had an adverse expression profile involving high inflammation and low antiviral and antibody gene expression. The report appears in the current on-line Edition of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. For the last ten years, Steven Cole, a UCLA Professor of Medicine and a member of the UCLA Cousins Center, and his colleagues, including first author Barbara L. Fredrickson at the University of North Carolina, have been examining how the human genome responds to stress, misery, fear, and all kinds of negative psychology."

The thoughts do seldom come to me, or if they come they are being monotonous, for I have no advantage of experiences on my behalf, I am afraid to face the world, if not afraid.....unwilling, seemingly ignorant I am, if I may be misunderstood for my intelligence and I am innocent too, I get frustrated, angry at too silly a things, I do pray a lot, I think I do, but I do lack something in my life,..........I firmly believe money has got no importance , its not only a belief, money is a big cloud that has been influencing our naive minds, used to coverup unpleasant realities, how come money seems to influence so many lives, when the picture says money just adds colour to your life, the glitz, the glamour, the persons who valued their life., they never felt poor or never died poor., they were rich in values. Money comes by.It is those people who find it impossible to give their lives their due value chase behind money., in search of fools gold, just like an alchemist. The perfect life does not exist, it is not something to be yearned for , it is something to be understood.

Understood not only by the textual sojourns that empowers your imaginative genes, but more by the experience you have in your life.

Why do we think our lives as a problem to be solved ? Is that it ? Given you see a fume afar in a forest, the first impression you get in your mind is about fire, no doubt on that ,.....aint it ? But if possible you must have the "inquisitiveness" , the curiosity ( not that curiosity that killed the cat in our old sayings!) ......a healthy one,....indeed to find out the genuine answers to these questions. Orelse they just remain as assumptions and hypothesis.You don't want to proceed your life on such assumptions. If we had through the ages some of our childish inqusitiveness, may be we would have had the right answer. I still have fear , anxiety in my mind regarding those uncleared assumptions in my mind.

Many a times do in my life I have faced this question when I stand at a divided road.Most probably one which very well confident of about where it might lead me which my instincts says me, while the other the well treaded path. In such dilemmas , an approach - approach dilemma to be specific, our ancient vedic wisdom , advices us , or to put in a more clear way, commands us to go the latter way, the path that has been travelled by most of 'em. I being an Indian, was grown in that way.

But I have always regretted about not trusting my instincts, I have recieved no guidance to continue with my instincts. This might be a "blame" and I believe blaming others does devalue your persona. Whatever fate th at I am led to is just because of my deeds and more importantly my mind and I should be solely responsible for it. When that responsibility becomes too heavy a burden to bear you put it over others shoulders, that which is called a blame. I have done it too often , created a war like situation at my home, but did not get any result. I lost my peace of mind . I started taking on small responsibilities which I could easily justify, just like taking a paper, and doing lot of such small ones does add up to boost your confidence in a significant way. But the truth is that one day you have to put your legs in the big shoes, come on "man",.....well thats a manly self affirmation !!! Yes that is the challenge of maturing to manhood. I find it a bit, a tiny bit necessary to show off to ward off those mosquitoes around you. But given concentration is there, nothing matters. So far that I have learnt, concentration is success. Concentration is meditation,, concentration is spirituality, it the ultimate joy.

Thus says the gita, that one is aware gets the knowledge.So concentration in its truest sense do amounts to awareness of self, the consciousness, the awakening, that very same thing Buddha got !

There are a lot many things in this material world to be got distracted, but given a concept of a unified brahman, which pervades all, your mind stops, that I think is the essence of all spirituality, all religion. Human is thirsty for spirituality, for he cannot survuve without it. He goes mad without it. Madness is spiritual arising.

So much so I have spent my thoughts on spirituality that sleep is but curse to me. I love to be conscious all the time.Every second is an oppurtunity left to learn, like said in gita, the opened doors of the heaven which will lead you to prosperity in all sense. This should be yearned for by all in our lives.

MY TAKES ON ASTROLOGY


I write this post here because , I do find the need to write it here, about astrology, Me being taught modern scientific principles and do believe in that way of thinking, astrology does not exist to me, it means that whatever you say it might come true or false has ZERO influence on me, and is not going to put any impact on me, to me mind matters more and there is nothing that a man cannot do with his mind, its all mind game this astrology.
To say an example, the astrologer says you will meet with an accident within a month, or you are going to meet with a financial crisis, only an anxious mind can be influenced by such predictions, others dont care, they are gonna face it , if it happens or not, and everybody knows, the universe has enough for anybody who asks, and that the troubles are not permanent, even this is gonna pass off !
So far , for you and your predictions, "its gonna pass off",
Its my responsibility as a science student and a scientific aspirant, to question such thoughts, so that the coming generations rely on their own potential than any predictions,
Lets build persons with strong mind and good attitude !
You cant predict what is going to happen next day, when even the concept called day and night is even related to sun, ie it is a part of heliocentric theory and astrology was a part of geocentric theory.
May be astrologers have to predict kala with relation to earth and not sun !
Just think a bit, cause the human mind is the hot debated topic, and one day or another one by one the secrets of human mind are gonna be revealed, which is gonna put an end to all questions.

ITS NOTHING BUT MIND IN THE END !!!
