GO may not work , TRY GOD instead!

With the early morning view from my window at 20th floor, amidst the sound of Mumbai rains , I was listening to Shiv Tandav . Meditating with my eyes open. The energy it has was tremendous. I was asking myself, I love Krishna so much , have almost no reverence for Brahma and I am so indifferent towards Shiv. Why is Shiv there to destroy .

Then the following was revealed to me. It was there all this while and I could never understand this magical trio till now.

*For those who are not aware about Hindu Mythology, Brahma ,Vishnu (Krishna is one of the avatar of Vishnu), Mahesh (Shiv) are the Holy Trinity . They represent Generator, Operator and Destroyer , the acronym for GOD.

First thing first, every creation is a first a thought .

Including the thought that is created a thought, the pleasure, pain, whatever we see, feel ,remember, do or think of was first a thought. Think about it!

First there was nothing, and then a thought emerged. This is the task of BRAHMA of the Holy Trinity, or the Generator of letter G in GOD. He sends us thousands of thoughts every minute. Every thought is a beginning of something magnificent be it a Konark Temple or a simple meal. It all begins with a thought .

Think about it, everything around you began with a thought, even this article that you are reading, on your mobile phone started with a thought. Someone thought man could go to the moon.

Then comes action, even before this step most of the times our thought dies. We let the thought or the Generator die . 99% of the time because we take no action on the same. As Mel Robbins says if you don't take action in the first 5 seconds of the thought, you would do nothing about it . It would remain another thought among millions you had.

I see this as action too. We chose not to take any action.

This is the VISHNU stage , or the Operator stage in the GOD . We spend time , energy, intellect , resource in actions to create , process and achieve our Thought.

Then comes SHIV , the Adiyogi , whom I started appreciating after this revelation. The Destroyer part of GOD, is not destruction, it denotes DETACHMENT. Only when we complete, the rocket can finally be launched, the food can be served on the table, iPhone 8 can be announced. We have to say, its done, complete and detach. Let the rocket be launched for the Moon or Mars. It has to leave Earth to go there.

Most of the times , we get stuck here, we are action takers, love KRISHNA , the operators and we never reach culmination of the act . We don't detach, if a mother chooses to stay attached to the umbilical chord of the baby, the baby will never be delivered. The chord has to be cut. The completion and detachment sets us FREE. Then we are free to go to another thought, action series and completion and get closer to GOD , else we stay stuck in the GO. The infinite loop of working and no results.

The key to successful life is staying close to the Holy Trinity of Generation of thoughts, taking action, culmination and detach.

I invite you to look around see the thoughts about your life, your relationships , your career, your goals, somewhere you would need more Vishnu and somewhere may be you have to do a Shiv Tandav!

My two cents on HIS 5244th Birthday!!!
