Ideology is the Root Cause of All Violence

Ideology Is The Root Cause Of All Violence

Talk: Osho

---



Real prayer has nothing to do with words, formalities. Real prayer is neither Hindu, Muslim nor Christian. How can silence be Hindu or Muslim? Silence is silence. Words can be Hindu and words can be Muslim; hence words create conflict and violence in the world. It is not that people are fighting for realities ­ they are fighting for words.

Thousands of wars have been fought, not for any real thing, but just for mere words. For example, one believes in the Quran and the other believes in the Gita ­ that's enough to kill millions of people. And both are words; neither is a reality .

Have you seen people killing each other for a rose flower or for the moon or for the sun? These are realities. But they can kill even in the name of the moon. If somebody claims, “The moon is our God,“ then he has imposed a word, God, on the moon. And then somebody says, “You are a fool. The moon is not the real God, the real God is the sun.“ And quarrelling starts, and fights happen.

Words have been the cause of all wars ­ religious or political wars.Ideology is the root cause of all violence.And now there are people who try to bring peace to the world, and again they create another ideology .

The name that Prophet Muhammad gave to his religion is Islam. Islam means peace. But the ideology isn't bringing peace ... Who else can claim more peaceful attitude towards life than Jesus? But Christianity, the ideology that was created around Jesus, has been a calamity.

All ideologies are bound to bring war, even ideologies based in peace and for peace. Then how can peace come? Peace can come only if we understand the stupidity of all ideologies and drop them. If we simply start living without any ideology , there will be peace.

But when you say , “This is our ideology; that we will not believe in any ideology ,“ then you are making an ideology out of that also. Then those who won't believe and who won't agree with you will start fighting with you.

I am not saying to you that you have to make this an ideology , or that no ideology is needed. I am simply saying try to understand what has happened through ideologies, words, theories, philosophies. Just see the point, and seeing it, let it drop.

Don't make a new ideology against ideologies. Just see the point ­ drop it, let it drop, be finished with it.

 

Live without any theories of how to live. Live without any `shoulds' and `oughts'. Every fact sooner or later becomes an `ought' and then it becomes dangerous. Every truth sooner or later becomes an ideology and then it is harmful and poisonous.

Can't we live without any ideology?

Have you seen any Catholic tree or communist peacock? If the whole of existence can live without ideology , why not man?

And the moment a man lives without ideology he is prayerful. Then his whole life is prayer, then, he is religious. The man who has an ideology is political; all ideologies are political.

The religious person lives without any ideology . He simply lives moment to moment, responding to reality ­ not through words, not through disciplines, not through certain attitudes, conclusions. No, he simply responds to whatsoever is the case and whatsoever is right in the moment, not according to some idea.

The moment one drops words and ideologies, suddenly one becomes very , very aware. And that awareness is prayer.

Your Choice of Vacation Defines your Personality

YOUR CHOICE OF VACATION DEFINES YOUR PERSONALITY

Ismat Tahseen

Now, where you choose to go on holiday says a lot about you.

Researchers at University of Virginia have been able to conclude that a person's personality type is a major influencer on whether they might head for the hills or hit the beach. The idea was based on the notion of a `person-environment fit', which means people select certain surroundings to fulfill their own desires.It was found that introversion was linked to a preference for mountains, while extraversion was linked to a beach getaway . Here's more...

MOUNTAINS

WHAT YOU ARE: Introvert

Creative, quiet folk are part of this breed.They love nothing more than the blueness of the mountain ranges, the crisp air and snow and clouds. They are adventure minded and love nature.

ARCHITECTURAL BREAK

WHAT YOU ARE: Arty and intellectual

Jetting to a city just to tour its monuments, archaeological sites, walk on its famed bridges and soak in old-world history and charm? At heart, you are a learner with a leaning towards architecture and tradition.

HIPSTER HOLIDAY

WHAT YOU ARE: Trendsetter

These jet-setters travel to follow a famous trail. They may do a movie-location inspired trail in some cities, find the best coffee bars, behave like tech-savvy locals and dress in the latest fashion prevalent in a place. Their idea of travel is quirky and it's about being seen rather than finding their own travel scene. Currently , several Eurpoean cities are battling for the title `hipster capital'. And did you know, `hipster holiday' was among the top buzzwords of the year?

ARMCHAIR TRAVELLERS

WHAT YOU ARE: A dreamer

These are people who won't really venture out of their comfort zones and take a risk, but prefer to dream their desire.Their motivators may be travel shows, tr magazines and blogs but they're happy desktop trav elling across the globe, with a `someday' wish. Talk to them about a place you've been to and the answer is always a, `Oh I wish I could have been there too'.

VOLUNTOURIST

WHAT YOU ARE: Do-gooder globetrotter

Helping out is your middle name, here.Volunteer travel is also a huge fad and it's about helping in schools or orphanages while you are at a place. It's about social welfare meeting leisure and the idea has caught up over time. In India, voluntourists help communities out in the stark and sparse desert landscape of Spiti by setting up solar-powered appliances there.

WELLNESS TOURIST

WHAT YOU ARE: Health-conscious

This has been one of the most popular vacation trends of late more vacationeers are swapping traditional sightseeing and food indulgences for local yoga learning and sipping on smoothies while on a break. A rise in obesity levels and risk of chronic diseases coupled with stress 24/7, has fuelled this.

Wellness tourism is defined as travel with the sole purpose of boosting one's health and well-being via physical, psychological or spiritual activities.

BEACH WHAT YOU ARE:

Sunshine lover

Walking on pristine sands and wading into the blue sea miles away from home, it may seem like postcardpretty! It's also apt for those who might enjoy being with a crowd, unless of course it's so secluded a place that no one knows about it.Beaches are usually noisier, bustling places with more people to sit by and watch or connect with.

TRAVEL BRAGGIE WHAT YOU ARE:

A documenter

This person likes to take pictures of everything and show it off to friends and family as soon as he/she can. Travel to such a person is more about ticking things off an itinerary so as to say he's `been there, done that'. The touristy traveller hates missing out on any of the local attractions and you'll also catch them devouring information in local museums, and at staycation classes. This person is also most likely to have his or her own travel blog.

EXTREME TRAVEL WHAT YOU ARE:

Adrenaline junkie

They think nothing about bungee jumping off a helicopter into the mouth of an active volcano in Chile, ziplining in a rainforest, scaling a high bridge or cage diving with sharks in Fiji. These are fearless folks who live on the edge and travel gives them a thrill. There are no middle paths here; the agenda includes getaways to the hottest, coldest or wildest place possible.

CRUISE WHAT YOU ARE:

An extrovert

Like the idea of taking off on a luxury cruise to the French Riviera or even far off Alaska? You're bound to love the company miles away from land, as that is what being on a cruise is all about. Activities centred around knowing co-travellers, from dining with them to playing interactive games with them, make it fun.

SKIPPING YOUR HOLIDAYS?

YOU'RE AT RISK FOR A HEART ATTACK

Studies have stressed that all work and no play can be harmful to health in different ways and exceeding the average 8-hour day causes a 40% higher risk of heart disease. Some results have also showed that those who skip on a vacation for years in a row can be 30% more prone to a heart attack! Another study says relationship suffer when you don't use your vacation days.

SOLO TRAVELLER WHAT YOU ARE:

Confident

Planning a backpacking trip alone? While it says you are an independent thinker, it also notches up self-confidence for you. Solo holidayers are often borne out of choice or necessity and are okay with taking calculated risks. They're also a talkative bunch, looking to exchange notes with fellow solo vacationers.

50 Ways to look fabulous at 50 like the stars

50 Ways to look fabulous at 50 like the stars



Turning 50 has never been so popular or looked so good.

Here are some tips for those of you who don't enjoy an A-list budget or entourage of flunkies

1 Our face shape changes as we age. Many of us discover our cheekbones for the first time in our 50s but sadly also our crow's feet, so makeup needs to reflect that. Smokey eyes with pale lipstick is a very flattering palette on older women.

2 Women can start to look washed out as they age. Don't compensate by piling on the bright colours or you'll look like a drag queen. Choose matte shades in neutral colours like grey and taupe, but avoid frosted and shimmer makeup as it just gets stuck in the cracks.

3 Skin dries and dulls, so switch to a dewy, younger look. Swap heavy matte foundations and powder for light-reflecting tinted moisturisers, and don't go too pale. For more coverage, mix your foundation with a tinted moisturiser.

4 As oestrogen levels fall, many women start sprouting whiskers. Electrolysis is a permanent solution but is pricey and leaves scabs in the short-term.Threading is a good option, and some people swear by facial epilators.

5 Moisturise, moisturise, moisturise. Dry skin is very ageing so slap on a decent moisturiser daily but pricey eye and lip creams are probably a waste of money. Good value products are great for sensitive skin.

6 Invest in a silk pillowcase to stop your face looking as creased as an elephant's bottom in the morning.

7 At 50 you will never look 30 again but if you do decide to go down the cosmetic surgery route with fillers or Botox, use them sparingly . A less invasive option is a chemical peel.

8 Your top lip loses fullness, so use a neutral lip pencil to define your lips, soften the Cupid's bow and prevent lip bleed. Never be tempted to have lip fillers-nobody looks good with a trout pout.

9 Getting your teeth whitened will knock years off. Aim for a natural finish by a professional--the cost of made-to-measure bleaching trays from a dentist has tumbled so there's no need to burn your gums off with cheap, badly fitting trays.

 

10 Madonna, 56, proved that no matter how young your body looks, your hands will always betray your age. Just keep your hands well moisturised and nails clean, and neatly square-oval shaped.

11 The `power brow' is in fashion, but women in their fifties may have plucked their brows into non-existence. Use an angled eyebrow brush and dark powder makeup to thicken your brows, but don't be tempted to get thick, black slugs tattooed on your forehead.

12 A light fake tan can work wonders on older skin. Find the one that gives you a glow that's closest to your own skin tone, and exfoliate well before applying.

13 A bronzer will give over 50s faces a more youthful glow.The trick to using a bronzer is to choose two shades darker than your natural face colour and use it sparingly.

LOOK AFTER YOUR LOCKS

14 Contrary to popular opinion, grey hair is finer than pigmented hair, but because it's lost its oils, it feels coarser. Heavy conditioners will make grey hair limp so choose a style and hair product that give it volume, like 69-year-old silver fox Helen Mirren.

15 Cutting your hair short can be as ageing as refusing to chop off your old straggly, thin locks. If your long hair is in good condition like 54-year-old Julianne Moore's flame-haired locks, there's no reason to cut it off.

16 If you do go short, avoid elfin-styles as they're hard to carry off unless you are actually an elfin queen like 45-year-old Cate Blanchett. Mid-length, choppy shapes suit older women.

17 When covering grey hair, staying blonde is easier than keeping it dark. If you do dye your hair dark brown, make sure you break it up with low-lights.

18 At some point a woman with blonde highlights has to change to an all-over blonde tint unless she wants her hair to look like she's a 40-a-day smoker.

BE LAMB NOT MUTTON

19 Get dressed to make an entrance, not sneak in quietly through the back door. Just because you've hit 50, doesn't mean you're invisible.

20 Avoid the cougar uniform of bodycon frocks and spiky heels but don't let it all go and start wearing loose-fitting stretchy clothes either. If you can curl up in a ball in your clothes, then save them for the yoga class.

21 Elasticated waists may be more comfortable but they let you eat more than you should, and in your 50s, you really shouldn't because it gets tougher to lose the weight.

22 There's no reason why you shouldn't buy the odd item in trendy high street shops, but the latest fashion trends will always look better on undernourished teenagers. Classic shapes in wellcut materials will suit you better.

23 By now you should know your own shape and what makes the most of your best features and disguises the ones you don't like. Apple shapes suit skinny jeans and tulip tops.Pear-shaped ladies can work an A-line skirt and cute short jacket combo. But be prepared to experiment with different styles.

24 Even if you're bigger than a high street size, don't wear large shapeless clothes ­ they just make you look bigger. Belts will give you definition even if you don't have a waist. And never wear clothes that are too tight ­ you'll spend all day tugging at them.

25 Neutral colours are the scourge of the middle aged. If you insist on dark colours, then at least choose navy over black, and cream over white, as monochrome is too harsh on older skins.

26 Get some colour in your life--start with powder blue if you're too nervous to wear azure.

27 Small patterns like tiny flower prints will make you look matronly if you're over 50, but feel free to experiment with bold prints.

28 You're not too old to wear short skirts but it depends on how you wear them. In the winter, team short skirts with sharp looking ankle boots and thick tights, while in the summer, go for a casual look with pumps and a sloppy T.

29 More importantly, you're never too old to wear denim. Jeans are ageless and suit every t l y shape and size. Wear with a crispy white shirt and trench coat for a classic look.

30 Those fun, chunky specs in bright red that made you look quirky in your thirties now s l make you look like a pottery teacher. As we age, our features lose definition but a great pair of glasses will reverse that by framing the s face, like 46-year-old Jennifer Aniston's Ralph Laurens.

31 If you wear suits for work, then soften the look with pussy bow collar and jackets with nipped in waist, or 80sh style blazer over c a loose, white s shirt.

32 Figur t control underwear is your new BFF after b 50. As l muscle y tone i b turns to flab and falling hormone levels encourages fat stores around your tummy , you will come to love your Spanx.33 Open up your neckline. Steer clear of tops and T shirts that hug the neck, and go for V-necks and lower rounded necklines.

34 Mumsy pitfalls are: waterfall cardigans, tunic dresses, mum-jeans, jeggings, tennis shoes with jeans, and anything too matchy-matchy .

OVERHAUL YOUR HEALTH

35 Your eyes are a good indication of your general health. An experienced optician can spot anything from hypertension to glaucoma. Even if you've never worn glasses, it's a good idea to get your eyesight checked, especially after the menopause.

36 Don't ignore niggly problems. This is the age when blood pressure and cholesterol levels start going up, and while your chances of developing ovarian cancer drop, the odds of breast cancer rises.

37 Regular dental check-ups are essential because your teeth enamel thins as you age. Also, the mouth is one of those areas where all sorts of serious medical problems can reveal themselves.

38 There comes a point when pedicures just won't reach the parts that a chiropodist can. A new coat of varnish won't cover up hard, cracking foot skin and ingrown nails ­ you need your hooves clipped and shaved. Re current fungal problems need proper treatment.

39 No need to strap on the orthopaedic shoes just yet, but hobbling around in ill fitting stilettos will give you lower back problems and bunions. Wedge or block heels look funky and give you more support.

40 You don't want to look in the dressing room mirror one day and realise your bottom has turned completely square. Even if you've been a couch potato all your life, now is the time to get moving. At the very least, sign up for a yoga or pilates class.

41 Strong is the new skinny.

High intensity exercise using a mixture of cardio and strength training burns more fat, especially around the tummy , and uses up more calories. More importantly , weight training increases bone density and protects against osteoporosis.

42 Avoid extreme dieting, especially crash diets. Sudden weight loss will make you look haggard, so keep to a consistent weight by being mindful of your carb and sugar intake.

43 Get seven to eight hours sleep a night. Your body interprets lack of sleep as stress, and releases hormones that hinder immunity , making you more susceptible to illness.

44 And breathe! Long, deep breathing through your nose will make you feel more in tune with your body, stop anxiety, bad moods and reduce your blood pressure.

MANAGE THE MENOPAUSE

45 By the age of 54, 80% of women have stopped having periods. So if you're reading this, you're either going through the perimenopause in which case your periods are erratic, or they've stopped for a whole year, in which case you are now officially menopausal.

46 The menopause is still a bit of a taboo subject, so start talking to your friends about what you and they are going through. It's important to understand what's happening to your body .

47 You need to manage the menopause --it's not an illness and you will cope. Some women can suffer a range of symptoms from hot flushes to insomnia, but these are usually intermittent.

48 If you do suffer severe symptoms, try alternatives like acupuncture or herbal supplements before taking HRT. As with any drug, HRT comes with a range of side effects but also an increased breast cancer risk.

49 It's been said before, and it's worth saying again--exercise is a wonder drug. As well as having many health benefits, a training regime will help lessen the effects of the menopause and help you sleep better.

50 Feed your body . Eat oily fish --salmon, mackerel, and sardines-for a vitamin D boost to help with menopausal symptoms; avocados, olive oil and sunflower seeds for their vitamin E anti-ageing properties. Dark green veggies will lower your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Tips for your first job interview

Tips for your first job interview

Prashasti Shetty





 

After months of waiting for the right job post your college degree, the vacancy for a dream job has just opened up. A super impressive resume, a self-explanatory cover letter and the right moves is all you need to land that dream job, in the first attempt itself.Consider these five tips for a successful first-ever job interview.

CRISP RESUME

You must have heard it time and again that it's the resume that speaks for you.However, make sure you write everything and also be careful that you don't extend your content over two pages. Your interviewer will certainly not have the patience to read a lengthy resume. The trick is to give precise information.

DRESS ACCORDINGLY

One of your friends went for an interview wearing denims and bagged the job. That doesn't assure you a job too. The only norm is to keep in mind the company profile and the nature of the job. Some places go easy for interviews, whereas some follow a strict `only formals' rule.

CLARITY OF THOUGHT

Get a thorough understanding of the position you have applied for. Do not apply for more than one post in the same organisation, just to improve your chances. Be certain and do some serious thinking before you meet the interviewer.

FACING THE TOUGH QUESTION:

Tell me something about yourself' is the first and the most common question; but not as easy as it sounds. Do not make the mistake of repeating what's already mentioned in the resume. This question has been popped only after glancing through the documents presented, so repeating is not a good idea.

WEAR YOUR CONFIDENCE:

It is the most important element. Wear it like an accessory which may turn out to be the saving grace.Being confident works best in grilling situations as well as a chilled out interview. Make sure to be positive as it will directly reflect on your face.

EXPERT SPEAK
“The first two minutes of a job interview are the most crucial, make sure to give a firm handshake; also remember everything from the way you talk and walk is being scrutinised. Wear a pleasant smile and keep a watch on your tone. Knowing about the company is of prime importance. People out there are looking for ambitious candidates, but not someone who has already planned when the resignation will be drafted.“

Science Will Bring Religious Consciousness

Science Will Bring Religious ConsciousnessTalk: Osho

 





I am not against science ­ my approach is basically scientific but science has limitations, and I don't stop where science stops; I go beyond.Use science, but don't be used by it. It is good to have great technology; certainly it helps man to get rid of stupid work, to get rid of many kinds of slavery . Technology can help man and animals both. Animals are also tortured; they are suffering because we are using them. Machines can replace them and do all the work. Man and animals can both be free.

I would like a humanity which is totally free from work, because in that state you will start growing ­ in aesthetic sense, sensitivity , relaxation, meditation. You will become more artistic and you will become more spiritual because you will have time and energy available.

Religion is the ultimate in luxury.The poor man has to think about food, shelter, clothes, children, medicine, and he cannot manage these small things. His whole life is burdened by trivia; he has no space, no time to devote to God. And even if he goes to the temple or to church, he goes to ask only for material things. His prayer is not true prayer; it is not that of gratitude; it is a demand, a desire. How can he find a few hours just to sit silently, doing nothing? He has to think about tomorrow.

Jesus says: “Look at the lilies in the field; they toil not, they don't think of the morrow. And they are far more beautiful than even Solomon, the great king, in all his grandeur, ever was.“

True, the lilies toil not and they don't think of the morrow. But can you say it to a poor man? If he does not think of the morrow, then tomorrow is death. He has to think from where he is going to get his food, where he is going to be employed.

I would like the world to be richer than it is. I don't believe in poverty and I don't believe that poverty has anything to do with spirituality. Down the ages it has been told that poverty is something spiritual; it was just a consolation. Poverty is not spiritual ­ poverty is the source of all crime.

For me, spirituality is the ultimate luxury ­ when you have all and suddenly you see that, although you have all, deep inside there is a vacuum which has to be filled, an emptiness which has to be transformed into plenitude. One becomes aware of the inner emptiness only when one has everything on the outside. Science can do that miracle. I love science, because it can create the possibility for religion to happen. Man has lived irreligiously: talking about God, certainly ­ going to the church, temple, mosque ­ yet his life shows no flavour of religion.

My vision of religion is totally different. It has nothing to do with poverty. I would like the whole earth to become as rich as paradise, even richer, so that people can stop thinking about paradise.

Society needs science; it also needs religion, but I would say that science should be the first priority . First know the outer, the circumference, and then only the inner ­ because the inner is more subtle, more delicate. Science can create the space for real religion to exist on earth.

EMPLOYEE TIPS - START RIGHT

EMPLOYEE TIPS - START RIGHT



 

YOUR FIRST WEEK AT WORK CAN BE CHALLENGING. HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO HELP YOU MAKE THE MOST OUT OF YOUR FIRST FEW DAYS AT YOUR NEW JOB

 

Your first week at your new workplace can either go well, or make you rethink about your new position. Your first day at work may be among the most memorable and perhaps stressful day of your career.Here are ten things that you should do in the first week of your new job to make the right start:

➠ DRESS WELL:

How you present yourself says a lot about your personality. Dressing well helps give a professional impression. You are the brand ambassador of your firm and the way you project yourself, projects the culture of your workplace.

➠ BE A PEOPLES PERSON:

Introduce yourself to the people you come across in your organisation. Do not hesitate to have a conversation with your new team members. First impressions do matter. Use generic topics as conversation starters ­ for example positives of the job, the people around you, the city, the place you stay at, etc.

➠ OFFICE SPACE AND RESOURCES:

You need to understand your work place for your convenience. It also helps you feel at home. The better you know your workplace, the more engaged you will be. Speak to your colleagues and know more about your workspace.

➠ LISTEN AND OBSERVE:

One of your most important objectives during the first week must be to familiarise yourself with the company culture, your department and your goals and responsibilities. Attending orientation programs in addition to all team and office meetings can be of great help. Participating in informal colleague meetings will help you bond with them.

➠ ASK QUESTIONS:

As you learn about new job role, projects and people, don't be afraid to ask questions. It might be a good idea to take notes about everything you learn, even if it seems simple. Documenting your queries will ensure you don't ask the same question twice.

➠ SPEAK UP:

At the same time, don't be afraid to contribute and add value to your new organisation. Actively participate in team meetings and brainstorming sessions. If you have a skill or an ability basis which you've been hired, share that knowledge and experience with the team.

➠ OFFER HELP:

Don't sit around and wait for the team to decide the task for you. Being proactive and volunteering to help your new teammates on a project will go a long way. This will project you as a self-motivated employee and help you build a rapport with your boss and colleagues. This will also help you learn more about your job expectations, culture and how things are done in the organisation.

➠ FIND A MENTOR:

This may be underrated but it's crucial to find a mentor in any of your seniors who has been the firm for a few years. It could be your manager or your peers from the same or even a different department. Their experience will come in handy when dealing with crucial situations.

➠ KEEP YOUR BOSSES IN THE LOOP:

Throughout the first week, and the rest of your tenure at work, ask for periodic meetings with your boss as per their convenience.In addition to getting their direction on projects and tasks you have been assigned, you can also use this face time to update himher on your learnings and observations.

➠ DON'T COMPARE:

Never compare your last job to your current one.Deciding to switch jobs was your decision. There is a difference between expectations and reality.However, if there is a massive change in role, talk to your manager and look for a solution. Those pursuing their first job must go with a clear mind.
