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.

Suicide

Wondering the sanity of being Reasons and purpose of living Middle of fire of insanity Drifting in the realms of vanity So peaceful, oblivious and empty Yet feared of own safety Mind becoming craftier on destruction Body bind by signals of mental function Edge of tower and fear of height Body doesn’t want it Yet mind always wins the fight Falling down and swift whispering of air Then the mind realizes that it’s not fare.

IDENTITY

Walking for the decades and miles Dead weight and worthless as flies Bound to end and suffer while alive Selfishness and materialistic is the drive I see you all and for what you are Immoral and vanity is your layer Above all else you think you lay One fall, and You break like all other pot clay Righteousness is your outer face When rubbed hard, Will reveal your monstrous menace Showing the fake identity is your play That is only the means to truth’s delay In the end,   It will always be the reality that will prevail Fake faces and layers will be the first to fail

Humanity and Freedom

Humanity, when did it came into existence and what is its purpose? First half of that question has been answered by science, religion and many other societies. But the second half of the question is yet a mystery to us.   What is it that drives us? We ourselves have claimed that we are the superior of all the living things. We claim that we are the free and above all the remaining living beings. We cage other animals and gaze at them whenever we want to. What makes us do that? The one thing that makes us do that is to prove the reality of our freedom. We need proof to believe that we actually are free.
