WE LIVE ONLY SO LONG

like most people, even i often hear the following...  1) We only get what we deserve 2) Everything is predestined and based on karma philosophy 3) whatever happens is for the good. 4) Truth always triumphs 5) good wins over the evil.  And so many such good, proved, tested theories, philosophies and practises and i respect each of them and try to adapt them to my everyday life and succeed far lesser times than i would have wanted to.  Hence, none of them are either questioned or criticized here nor even discounted.

I always remember, trust and believe the lines from Kabhie Kabhie... The greatest lines from Saher the immortal lyricist.. Mujh se pehle kitne shayar aaye aur aakar chalegaye.. kal koi mujh ko yaad Karen, ..... This song, among other things, also communicates that, what is said is important and not who said this..In other words, thoughts, ideas, are immortal and not men and people. Hence what is being written here is already said, known, practised and understood by many and difference is the perspective that occurred to my mind.

I feel that nature/ god/ science (what’s in a name) has given us or implanted in each of us some quantity of breath and oxygen to live and we live only as long as we finish utilizing that quota and we cease to live once that stock is consumed.  Hence the pursuit for all of us is to ration that quota, plan the consumption and have a proper balance sheet of oxygen consumption and regulate the breathing, so as to enhance living long and living good.

Some of us keep an account of calories and try to maintain the same in terms of food consumed versus energy expended. What is said here is beyond this and slightly difficult than the calorie management. The question that comes to everyone’s mind is, how we know how much oxygen and breathing is allotted to each of us. Believe me, there is a known formula and quota and we tend to ignore the same.. The simple formula is 72 x 60 x60 x24 x 365 x 100 and that comes to 6220800 x 36500... This is the highest that anyone can give to anyone. Only nature is so magnanimous to give so much to all without fear or favour. Not even the richest will ever have more property than this. Now comes the toughest challenge of how to utilize this, optimize this and use this for long and sustain this.


   

We need to apply physics, mathematics and intuition riddled with common sense.

It is very simple..  Normally we are designed to breath 72 times a minute ( most accepted standard) . We either have the  choice to maintain this all the time and hence live 100 years or extend this by consuming in the systematic manner.  But our life style, ambitions, society, etc will not allow us to be stable and balanced all the time.  We go thru stress all the time and hence we breathe faster and consume more breath and oxygen, thus breaking the rhythm of life. Hence we pay the price of living shorter as we exhaust the quota or upset biorhythm and cause disturbances.

Typically in Himalayas, the sage consumes less and hence it lasts longer for them and they live longer. Simple mathematics.. Less ambitious and more contented will consume less and are able to spread the given quota properly and so they too live longer. For some people luckily, it happens by default, let’s say for people who live their lives in a simple environment close to nature or simple people who don’t take stress or less ambitious or have the best attitude to success and failures. 

But the choice is entirely ours as we can still be ambitious, set goals, strive for it, but balance it with honesty, integrity, meditation, health related exercises. In other words, one should know to learn to balance the 72 x 60 x 60 x 24 breathes per day.. Calmness in the mind, silence in the heart, positive attitude and absence of greed, lust, ego, attachment, pride will help achieve this on day to day basis.

But there is one caution... we cannot try to maintain monthly balance, yearly balance, or correction after 40.. Sorry. Rules Oppukovu, means  “divine rules have no postponement.” (this dialogue  should be made part of Mahesh babu movie for better impact like guns don’t need agreements) .. only daily corrections are allowed at best or in some exceptions, weekly also is ok.

To stop the “sodi” ( in telugu  it means , boring story) and come o the matter ( as in telugu movies .. the way they use the word matter) ..  All of us need to decide on how to manage our quota of oxygen and breathe to live longer and happier. The issues that need to be dealt are 1) Life style 2) Attitude 3) health 4) food. And all of these come from 1) Spiritual outlook for correct understanding of life 2) good routine in the day 3) proper plan of ambition 4) constant monitoring of the self.

Again for the above 2 areas, one needs to do the following everyday 1) something for the soul like Meditation of any technique 2) something for the body, any exercise that suits the body 3) something for the mind like reading, playing, working etc and 4) something purely for the pleasure which can be anything but not harmful to anyone or nature, directly or indirectly..

Do i practise? I attempt , to practise this every day but fail on 50 % but the attempt, knowledge and the need constantly is on the back of the mind... think about this principle of oxygen and breathe quota and work your way , provided you want to live longer, healthier or happier. Or at least decide on how you want to live and use the quota given accordingly. Nature just gives and we need to know how to use the same.. All the best and thanks for reading..

DO not go with the communication here but go with the idea and brood for a while and trust me, this will make huge sense and start practising whatever suits you , to extend the happiness quotient of life and also longevity , peace and healthy living .
