Let me begin with a small story.

By mistake, a boy kept his teacher’s book in his school bag and brought home. Next day, when teacher asked the class about her missing book, he couldn’t utter a word! He was scared.

He was fearful till the time the teacher assured the class that she won’t be angry and she’ll give away a big sticker! He quickly raised his hand and accepted his mistake. Teacher praised him for telling the truth and made everyone do scout-clapping for him. On the same day he shared his experience in his ‘My Day’ notebook. Next day, when teacher checked his ‘My Day’, she writes a note - ‘Always Speak Truth’.

When the boy’s mother found out about the incident she made her child understood the learning from this incident. – Firstly, he should have checked the thing before keeping it in his bag. Secondly, mistakes happen, and for that he shouldn’t be scared of anyone; instead he should have accepted his mistake in the first place. And lastly, she said “Teacher is expecting you to be truthful always.” She made her own perception on reading the teacher’s comment!

“No Mumma, it’s not like that!” The boy was not agreeing with the last point of his mother. And he added, “By this note my teacher wants to say that - I Always Speak Truth”. He was sure about his teacher’s point of view.

The mother was aware about her child’s truthful nature, but she wanted her child to be truthful with everyone and somehow, she made a different perception for the teacher’s point of view. She thought the teacher was trying to state ‘comment’ instead of ‘Praise’. But the boy was very clear about it and made a Complete Positive Perception for his teacher’s note! Wow! 

A simple comment conveyed two different perceptions, to the two different people of the two different ages. One perception was Partial Positive and the other was Complete Positive. The mother could have also built a complete positive perception and it would have ended by praising her child by saying, “See, your teacher is very happy with you because you always speak truth.” But she missed the chance. 

Her partial positive perception (which is also called partial negative) could have made the child sadden, even after being truthful. But the child took both the teacher and his mother’s point of view positively. Maybe that’s the reason, why the wise people always suggest - ‘To think like a child’. 

Such incidents happen every day with everyone in this world. And we, the so-called ‘Grownups’ seize it with our own perception. Most of the time, we don’t crosscheck the injected negativity in our perception. Our own perception fills bitterness in our mind and that bitterness builds up a great wall of differences and ends up with hatred towards the other.

In some cases, we are always sure about the negativity of the other person (it might be the end result of the wall, built up by one of them between the two), and we build negative perception amid the past experiences. But in most cases, we barely know the other person and we build negative perception without checking them separately. And in all the instances, by building great wall of negativity around us we end up with loneliness or we get accompanied with miserable people. And ultimately it ruins our own life. 

There is one saying in Gujarati language: ‘દ્રિષ્ટિ એવી સૃષ્ટિ
Meaning: Creation is similar to the Vision.

Thus, in order to destroy the prison of negativity, we’ll have to change our own perception. We’ll have to habituate ourselves to build a complete positive perception in all incidents we participate. Initially, it may seem difficult but we all are capable for it, because we all have gone through our childhood. The change in our own perception can build the bridge of amity between the two… ad

મન-મંદિરના ખૂણે-ખૂણા ને સાફ કરું છું ઘડી-ઘડી;
ખોલવો છે દરવાજો અંતરનો પણ માયા ના જાળ વળગે પાછા વળી...

I keep cleaning each corner my heart’s temple repetitively; I want to open the door of my inner-world but the webs of my own attachments restrict me…

ગુણ-દુર્ગુણને અવગણીને ઘરમાં ખુશીઓ ભરતી રહી;
અંતકાળમાં જીવનતણી પુણ્યની ઝોળી ખાલી રહી...

I kept filling the (so-called) happiness to my house by ignoring the integrity & offences (- both of mine and the others); and at the end the bag of life’s morality was empty…

સુખ-દુઃખના સરવાળા કરીને જીવનનું સત્ય જડ્યું નહિ;
અવકાશ માં અજવાળા સમી જ્ઞાન-વિજળી ચમકી કદી...

I couldn’t find the truth of life by summing-up the happiness and the sadness; the lightning of wisdom not yet flashed in the extent (of my life)…

જીવનશૈલીનો આધાર ગૂંથવામાં સરકી રહ્યો છે સમય અહીં;
આધાર જીવનનો આપનારનો આભાર માનવો જાય રહી...

I am running short of time in knitting the base of my lifestyle; (Now, I’m worried) I don’t miss the opportunity to thank the one who is the base to my life…

એકાંત લાગે છે ઘણું વ્હાલું પણ વાતો વાગોળું ઘણી બધી;
મૌન ક્ષણોમાં પગેરું મળશે આસ્થા છે જાગી એવી વળી...

I love my aloneness and (while being alone,) I speculate so many talks; but a faith has risen that I will find the way in my silence…

સમજમાં આવે બસ એટલું કે રટ્યા કરું હું 'હરિ-હરિ';
આવશે 'અમી' 'મહેમાન' બની ને હશે જ્યારે જીવનની અનમોલ ઘડી... ad

I only understood one thing (in my silence) that I keep chanting Hari-Hari (the name of Lord Krishna); at the priceless moment of the life ‘Amee’, that one befall as ‘The Guest’… ad

Reputation is a word made of glass. It may destroy an individual completely, if one doesn’t care enough. And that’s the reason we think a lot before doing or saying anything in public or on social media. Because our acts reveals our character and our character builds our reputation.

Through the social media we are connected with each other like never before. But we all know how much we hide ourselves from the virtual and the real world. We wear so many masks to cover up the real thoughts and real character to the world. And all these just because we care a lot about the reputation built up by the time. So, we take up and precede all our acts very cautiously either by hiding or by pretending. Such act of constant pretending always keeps destroying our own being. We can’t be free and over certain period we feel worthless.

But if we look back in the History we find some people who were never worried about their reputation and they’ve lived their life with complete freedom. All of them were performing one common act; with complete affection towards it and that too without getting destroyed their reputation. And that act is Devotion – Lovingly worshiping the God. This act has never destroyed anyone’s reputation from ages. And to support this statement I would like to share one Devotional Song written by the Poet Premaldaas. This devotional song narrated with the real life examples highly promotes the loving worship towards the Lord Krishna.

હરિને ભજતાં હજુ કોઈની લાજ જતી નથી જાણી રે,
જેની સુરતા શામળિયાની સાથ, વદે વેદ વાણી રે...

Not yet heard of anyone’s reputation being destroyed by lovingly worshiping The Hari (Lord Krishna); those, whose complete dedication is towards Shamaliya (Lord Krishna), says the words of the Vedas…

વ્હાલે ઉગાર્યો પ્રહલાદ હિરણ્યકશ્યપ માર્યો રે,
વિભીષણને આપ્યું રાજ, રાવણ સંહાર્યો રે...

That Dear (Lord Krishna) had saved The Prahlaad and killed The Hiranyakashyap; given the kingdom to The Vibhishan and destroyed The Ravan…

વ્હાલે નરસિંહ મહેતાને હાર, હાથોહાથ આપ્યો રે,
ધ્રુવને આપ્યું અવિચળ રાજ, પોતાનો કરી સ્થાપ્યો રે...

That Dear (Lord Krishna) had accompanied Narsinh Mehta personally; given everlasting status to The Dhruv and established him as his (Lord Krishna’s) dignitary …

વ્હાલે મીરાં તે બાઈના ઝેર હળાહળ પીધા રે,
પંચાળીનાં પૂર્યા ચીર, પાંડવ કામ કીધા રે...

That Dear (Lord Krishna) had drunk the deadliest poison (plotted for) The Meera; covered Paanchali (Draupadi) with the pieces of clothes and accomplished all the missions of The Pandavas…

આવો હરિ ભજવાનો લાહવો ભજન કોઈ કરશે રે,
કર જોડી કહે પ્રેમળદાસ ભક્તોના દુઃખ હરશે રે...

The ones, whose enjoyment is within worshiping The Hari (Lord Krishna) with the Devotional songs; says Premaldaas (The Poet) with folded hands, (Lord Krishna) will take away the pain of (his) devotees ….

હરિને ભજતાં હજુ કોઈની લાજ જતી નથી જાણી રે... 

Not yet heard of anyone’s reputation being destroyed by lovingly worshiping The Hari (Lord Krishna) …

Here in this devotional song the Poet Premaldaas urges all of us by folding his hands to worship Lord Krishna. We can worship that divine with any name of our own choice like - Krishna, Brahman, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad, Godliness, Existence, Love etc. but we shouldn’t hesitate in connecting with that one supreme power who is the creator of life on the earth. 

It is said in Bhagwad Geeta - "સર્વ વેદો દ્વારા જાણવા યોગ્ય હું જ છું." 
Meaning: I (Lord Krishna) am the one who is acquainted through all (the knowledge) of all Vedas.

Know the Self, understand that eternal power; try to be more and more connected with Oneness. I know, in this modern era we are so much busy in working for our living and that too by keeping our Reputation safe and secure. But with that we must travel towards our own inner world, and worshiping that Divine happily by keeping our heart filled with Love and affection is definitely going to help the internal journey. And history has made us assured that act of Devotion is not going to affect our Reputation... ad
