Stop Irrigating the Dead Tree (Chankya Niti)


 न पुष्पार्थी सिञ्चति शुष्क्तरुम् ।
Translation of above quote in Hindi and English.
  • ·       A man desiring flowers does not irrigates a dead tree
  • ·       फूलों की कामना करने वाला मनुष्य सूखे वृक्ष को नहीं सींचता है ।


Following are some of the interpretation’s that we can assume from this quote:
  • Do not invest in lost cause.
  • Be useful to others.
  •  Invest your time and resources for right cause.

Do not invest in Lost Cause:
Even though we have given our fullest sometimes things don’t work as they should have. In such situation we have to learn to let go of such things which are lost to us. Because investing in a lost cause will only burn our resources and time, without any success and profit.
Most of the time we humans became attached to such lost cause emotionally and keep investing in such lost cause. We have realize in time, that there won’t be any recovery from such failure and should let go of such cause. We should stop watering such dead plants and uproot those plants from our garden and replace those with new ones. Investing In lost cause will only increase your liability and pain.

Be useful to others:
This quote also says you to be useful to others. As we all know, none of us keep dead plants in our garden. If you can’t became useful to others than they will also uproot you from their life. Everybody helps every other being in return of some help from them in future. If you are useful for others than you can expect something from them in return. If you are not useful to them, they will just ignore your existence. So you have to be useful.

Invest in Right Cause:
We must invest in right cause, if we hope to gain something from it. If want a plant to give you fruits and flower, you have to start watering the green ones not the dead ones and also the ones that actually will make some fruits and flowers. You have to be extra careful while you are going invest your time and money.

Summary:
·       Be useful.
·       Learn from your mistake and don’t repeat them.

·       Engage with Useful people and in useful Activities.

Fear and Courage

In life we always face the certain situation which will test our courage. Sometimes, it's on daily basis. Feeling the fear doesn't always have to be a life threatening or anything physical. Sometime it's as simple as accepting the truth or telling the truth. Here are some examples that we face on daily life which created a fear inside us and made us gather all the courage we can muster.  Asking out the girl you like. Asking for pay raise. Quitting your job. Telling your girlfriend/boyfriend not to do something. Asking your parents for financial help.  These are very simple problems but some of us find it very difficult to do any of these things. We feel like we can face tiger without weapon but we can not do these simple tasks. I my self have been in many of these situations. I always find very hard to these simple tasks but these tasks are inevitable. At some time we have to do and due to our fear, we actually end up doing these things very late. Sometimes, we even lose so

Nature and Freedom

Life is short and it’s hard to conquer You wander between the wood Thinking about the swirling feather in the wind Leaves that are falling are the memories of tree It helps then to grow taller and wiser So are the gone years of our life There is no new way to life then you see Success is only measured when you have set the goals Be free and live without failure of life Be the feather in wind Be the tree that grows more leaves Be the mountain that stands tall no matter who climbs it Be the river that reaches the ocean no matter how many rocks it has to collide with Be the sun and stars of your life because they never set for themselves Do not wait for the others to be the star or the moon There is light in you and amplify it and lead your way
