Where has the ‘humanity’ in humans gone?

By

GOA: A stray dog is hit by a speeding car. The car driver doesn’t even care to stop and have a look at the innocent animal leave alone taking it to a near by vet hospital. The poor dog lying half dead with eyes popping out in the middle of the road with cars racing by choosing to ignore completely the pain in which the dog must be. Residents of the area on either side of the road ignored it too as though it was a regular sight for them. The various NGO’s that were contacted refused to pick up the dog. Finally, after 2 hours of frantically calling the NGO’s and vets in order to save an innocent life, a lady did agree to pick up the dog but when she did reach the spot, the dog had died a painful death.

Have we humans forgotten to value life?

What is going on?

    People dont stop to notice even the fellow beings, leave apart the dog............everyone is running to his/ her destination leaving virtues behind.

    even if people stop they won't help...coz we lack the zeal to take accountability...so busy wid own lives where is the time to help beings in need.....everyone likes to talk about qualities of compassion, helping each other etc..only in movie halls...in real life we r so full of ourself that we don't lend ears to r own conscience.......it's time that as youth of the nation we take this in r own stride..all we need to do is whenever we see some situation, call city's yellow pages and find out #'s fr the ngo's , vet or emergency SOS..we need to be more aware..

    plus most of the people have forgotten the basic humanity ingredients of *feeling connected* and *compassion* towards others...the people these days are kinda *enslaved* in their own small world comprising of just 2-3 persons that they cannot even think of looking outside of their world and helping others!!!

    If you come to think of it... the funny part is that we don't even seem to value our own lives... as yogiji says it is good karma of so many life times that we get a human birth and all we do with it is spend it in pursuit of pleasures of the basic 5 senses... only when one doesn't have something does one realize the worth of it...wht an irony!

    The last i heard... Dogs were supposed to be 'Man's best friend' !
    Or maybe those Goans changed it to 'Screw our friends, what do we care?! Let's just drink, eat and make merry!'

    even when ppl see smthing like this many time they jst neglect it saying "its jst a street dog". human have become so great businessman that they have started measuring life with money they might could have helped if it would had been an expensive breed. thats what they say is evolution they are evolving to better human. but actually they all have a evolving business person in them. who only invest his/her time in profitable(only currency) things.

difference between ‘meditation’ and dhyan?

By
"The difference between meditation and dhyan is that between shoonya (this is not to be confused with shoonyata, here it refers literally to zero) and poorna . Dhyan is state of complete awareness-inside and outside- it is a Poorna state, whereas meditation is a big zero. In meditation what a person does is he/she thinks of a certain thing and therefore it is basically no better than day dreaming, where as in dhyan you are aware of everything .Swami Satyananand Paramhans (Bihar School of Yog) described meditation as a ‘moodh ’ state or a lower state. Now a days, the subject of yog and tantra have been totally misrepresented. I was watching a programme on a ‘spiritual’ channel and there I saw a very elderly woman sharing her thoughts on ‘spirituality’. So I thought let me listen into what she has to say. After her discourse she made the viewers do dhyan and sat herself in dhyan as well. When it was over, she came out with some sort of jerk in her body. Anybody who knows the st

Gyan Vs Knowledge

By
"There is a huge difference between knowledge and gyan . Let me give an example. When I was appearing for my class 10 exams, I found that as it is I am bad in maths apart from that I was weak in Geography as well and in our school whoever used to fail in two subjects used to fail in that class. So I still remember that I memorised the whole book, chapter-wise and in the exam for each question I wrote the entire chapter. So ultimately the examiner must have thought that I have written so much (even though irrelevant) that he gave me passing marks- exactly 33 %. So, you may know entire chapters on Yoga but the  gyan  will still not be there. When you do yog or  dhyan ,  gyan  comes to you constantly. As you progress  Gyan  comes to you step by step. When you receive  gyan  you take one step, then you receive more gyan and move to the next step and so on and so forth. This progress is not dependent on time. Gyan will come to you only when you are connected to your Guru; without thi
