My religion is based on truth and
non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realizing him. -
Mahatma Gandhi
On 28th January , 2015 I went
to my dad’s big brother home, in their house I found a book called
“Bang on the Door”. I asked them what is
this all about they said it is a spiritual lesson related to spiritual gods in
India.
You see, in highly educated families
reading spiritual books are not encouraged only elders have rights! Of course,
my family members were highly educated too. So, in amiable way I said “can I find
this author data in your personal home PC”, my dad's brother said “Yes, for a few minutes
not for a long time”. As I am a blog writer, I look 3 hours to complete
this book (reading) but if you are good at fast reading you can complete it in just
1 hour only.
What Inspired Me?
The extemporaneous talks collected in
this book were given by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in 1989 and 1990 during a tour of
the United States of America. In short it’s all about his tour time with his
followers.
Some more details of this book:
1. First Edition – Copyright 1990 by
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.
2. Published by – The Art of Living
Foundation and Vyakti Vikas Kendra, India (Bangalore).
3. Printed at – Elegant printing works,
Bangalore.
4. Where to buy – In Bangalore
(Karnataka)
Highlights of this book:
The poem “Don’t move an inch” was
spoken by Sri Sri during on East –West dialogue with the very Rev. Thomas
Keating at Yale University.
DON’T MOVE AN INCH POEM:
- Don’t move an inch,
- The journey has begun.
- If you move, you are light years away
- Neither East nor West
- Nor North nor South,
- Don’t move an inch.
- Between Earth and the Sky.
- Here the goal dawns on you,
- Don’t move an inch,
- Fill the lobbies of logic
- With the smoke of her presence.
- Don’t move an inch.
- The root is on
- With a billion Stars,
- Sun and Moon
- Moving around you.
- Don’t move an inch.
- Don’t move an inch
- So, that waves of love
- May rise in your heart
- And rock the life in total bliss.
- I am the path, the goal and the seeker.
- Don’t move an inch.
Who is Sri Sri Ravi Shankar?
He is called as Spiritual Master. In
2014, he is called as Leadership in category of humanity and human rights to
live and lead with spiritual human healthy thoughts. He is known to be called “the
leader or guru who invited Foundation called – “Art of Living”. Also namely he
won two Genniuss World Records too.
To be concluded:
In page no – 15,
“There are two successes: being
successful in life and being successful in the world. One can be successful in
life. Success in life is attending to this. Success in life is attending to
this source, inquiry of the source and living in that joy and unconditional
love”.
There is something looks different to
me in this poem what he had mentioned, is a bit related to “Marine Sea coastal area people”. And how one is success in life and success in
the world?
So, I got doubt and asked my dad’s brother.
The simple answer – Only who have completed 50+ or 60+ years of old age only one is called as successful or not
all around all the world and life too.
After listening to his answer, I
researched nearly 15 hours in my Laptop about all leaders in allover world at
which age or died and how far there have achieved success at which age? If you can, you can
also search all leaders’ data in wiki source.
Thanks for reading!
