भ्रष्टाचार है - तथ्यों को तोड़-मरोड़ कर पेश करना, कानून की अवहेलना, योग्यता के मुकाबले निजी पसंद को तरजीह देना, रिश्वत लेना, कामचोरी, अपने कर्तव्य का पालन न करना, भामाब्यूरो में आज कल यही हो रहा है. बेशर्मी भी शर्मसार हो गई है यहाँ.

Are you in White Book of God?

Mr. Jain was very happy when he told me that he had convinced big boss to cancel my tour programme to Bangalore, and now I should understand who is the boss, me or he. I was surprised as to how big boss allowed Jain to convince him to make a wrong decision. I was going to Bangalore to attend a seminar which was co-spomsored by my office. I had done lot of work to make the seminar a success. I was worried that what participants will say when they will not find me there. I was also worried that entire responsibility of organizing the seminar will come on the other sponsor. Coming days were really bad. Lot of inconvenient phone calls and fax messages. The person inaugrating the seminar even complained to the big boss. Big boss called me . He was very angry. I reminded him that he himself had cancelled my tour programme. This made him more angry. Later I came to know that Jain had a very tough time.

This incident made me think. Why jain did it? There was no point proving to me who is the boss. He was senior to me and everybody knew it. I am a religious person. I accept all situations as result of my Karma in this and previous births. We do our Karma and God decides the result. I was at peace but I wanted an answer to the question, 'why Jain did it?' In other words, 'why God used Jain as an instruement to put me to lot of inconvenience?' What I received was the result of my Karma. How Jain got into it?

I was thinking, thinking and thinking. One fine morning the amswer was there. God decides the result of our Karma. The justice, reward or punishment, is to be delivered. For us, the little sinners, God uses other people to deliver the justice. For big sinners like Ravana and Kansa, He comes Himself. So Jain was the justice delivery boy. I told him so. jokingly I told him that God has written his name in His Black Book. God has assigned him the job of delivering punishments to other people. This means that God does not have a good opinion about him. He laughed and went away.

I was surprised when after two days Jain came to me and said that he had been thinking about it and what I said is right. He could not remember when he did some good to someone in his life. There were many instances when he did bad to others. He said that he was convinced that God has entered his name in His Black Book. I told him that as now he realizes it he should work in a positive manner so that God transfers his name to His White Book, and start assigning him jobs of delivering rewards. Jain said, nahin yaar isme bahut maza aata hai. Ab achcha bankar kya karenge.

Friends, you are in which book, White or Black?

Love relationships and associated responsibilities

What happened in Kolkata is sad. A young man has lost his life. Many more people have been affected by it. The girl is naturally affected the most. The case is under investigation. I hope that the culprits will be punished. No body has any right to take away others' life. Whatever may be the circumstances, taking away a life can not be justified. Life is a gift of God. Who are human beings to take it away?

Young people as they say 'fall in love'. I have never been able to understand why people use this phrase, 'fall in love'. Why don't they say that we rise in love. Why do they look at love in a negative manner. Only love relationship between husband and wife has physical relation. All other love relationships are mental. Why people treat all other relationships as secondary or treat them as having no importance once they start a relationship which may lead to husband-wife relationship?

Love is a natural trait of human beings. Based on this trait, humans have various love relationships - love for parents, love for children, love for husband and wife, love for brothers and sisters, love for other relatives. love for friends. love for neighbours....... All these relationshps have associated responsibilities and all of them interact with each other. One relationship should not override other relationships. If a young boy and a young girl love ecah other and want to get married, do they become free of their love relationship and associated responsibilities with others and the society? Should they start a relationship on hurt caused to others. Should they overlook the likely effect their love relationship will have on others? I think they should think about all aspects of their relationship before taking any extreme steps. Rizwanur Rehman and Priyanka Todi should not have fallen in love, they should have risen in love.

On the other hand, parents and relatives should also understand their relationships and associated responsibilities. They should not oppose love-relationship of their children just for the sake of opposing it or because it does not meet their beliefs. They should also consider all aspects and try to find a solution acceptable to all concerned and society norms.

Like freedom of speech, love also has responsibilities associated with it.
