NATURE ALONE IS PERFECTION.
Perfection is beyond the reach of Mankind.
Yes - Perfection is a like a Santa Clause - It Does not exist.
A POOR LEADER will chase PERFECTION and
A GREAT LEADER will stitch all the differences that exist in the team and creates a RAINBOW.
Happy Holi to each and every one of you !
Conscious Mind : If not PERFECT then WHAT ?
Unconscious Mind : Let me tell you a story !
Lord Ayyappa learnt Kalaripayattu (Martial Arts) from the School called CHEERAPPANCHIRA located in Alappuzha District Kerala - South Kerala.
The Martial Arts School in my home town Alappuzha / Alleppey.
This is the place where Lord Ayyappa learnt Martial Arts.
Unconscious Mind : The GURU over a span of many years will teach Martial Arts to all his students. However as per the KALARI TRADITION the GURU is allowed to transfer only 95% of his martial arts knowledge to his students.
Conscious Mind : What is the reason behind this ?
Unconscious Mind : The last lesson the student has to learn is TO ACCEPT IMPERFECTION. The GURU deliberately leaves an IMPERFECTION of 5%.
However the GURU will teach his own children 100% of what he knows about MARTIAL ARTS.
Unconscious Mind : Lord Ayyappa learnt Martial Arts from the Guru whose daughter was also a student in the same school. Students believed that Guru's daughter was the PERFECT martial artist given the fact that Guru can teach only 95% of that which he knows about Martial Arts to all other students.
However - Over a period of time the students started considering Lord Ayyappa as the PERFECT Martial Artist. To this Guru's daughter became very Jealous and she decided to fight with Lord Ayyappa and beat him to regain her status in martial arts.
Guru's daughter and Lord Ayyappa started fighting. When Guru's daughter sensed that she is going to fail she decided to use the last trick (THE 5%) about which only she had the knowledge.
However to the surprise of Guru and all other students Lord Ayyappa fought back and responded to the last trick very INTELLIGENTLY and Guru's daughter fell down unconsciously.
Guru bows down to Lord Ayyappa realizing that his STUDENT IS GOD HIMSELF.
THIS MEANS LORD ALONE CAN BE PERFECT !
This is the place where Lord Ayyappa learnt Martial Arts.
My Home Town !
Kalari (Martial Arts) is the main offering that one can offer to Lord Ayyappa inside Sabarimala Temple.
The devotee must understand that Lord Alone is PERFECT and DEVOTEE HIMSELF IS AN IMPERFECT MARTIAL ARTIST.
Unconscious Mind : Do you remember ; At the age of 8 ; I took you to Sabarimala Temple and i lifted you in my arms to see the artist performing Martial Arts inside the temple ?
Conscious Mind : Oh Yes - I do remember !
Offering of Martial Arts to Lord Ayyappa.
Conscious Mind : If 1000 days or rather 1000 times is leading to PERFECTION ? then how will I become SUCCESSFUL?
Unconscious Mind : Strive for COMPLETION - TOTALITY.
"CREATE MOMENTS OF EXPERIENCE ; DIVINE EXPERIENCE ; CREATIVE EXPERIENCE.
I HAVE ONLY THIS ONE MOMENT AND WHATEVER I COULD POSSIBLY EXPERIENCE PERFORMING THIS TASK 1000 TIMES IN 1000 DAYS ; I SHOULD EXPERIENCE ALL THE DIMENSIONS IN THIS ONE MOMENT."
In other words WHOLENESS / TOTALITY means EXCELLENCE.
EXCELLENCE is an attempt to perform the task in the best possible way.
More mundane machines can do things perfectly ; man can only be excellent.
Remember ;
When a man chases PERFECTION - He is likely to be UNSUCCESSFUL - Even after performing the same task 1000 times.
PRACTICE MAKES A MAN PERFECT IS AN ILLUSION.
When a woman chases PERFECTION - She will be CHEATING on HERSELF.
Rather than endlessly pursuing an elusive standard of perfection focus on making SOMETHING WHOLE and you will experience SUCCESS sooner than 1000 days.
Conscious Mind : I still dont UNDERSTAND !
Unconscious Mind : You are VIRGIN. But VIRGINITY cannot beat SURVIVAL/PERFECTION ;
Unconscious Mind : You are VIRGIN. But VIRGINITY cannot beat SURVIVAL/PERFECTION ;
Just like how BEATING HUNGER cannot beat SURVIVAL/PERFECTION ;
Siddhartha Gautama stopped eating and drinking, he thought that when he become strong enough to beat the survival instinct (FOOD), he will be ENLIGHTENED.
One day he was very tired and hungry and he sat down under a Bodhi Tree and closed his eyes. When he opened his EYES he saw the FULL MOON. THAT MOMENT ENLIGHTENED HIM.
Siddhartha realized that PRECIOUS MOMENTS OF EXPERIENCE / TOTALITY ALONE CAN BEAT PERFECTION.
EXPERIENCE THE FOOD means to experience all DIMENSIONS OF FOOD.
Example : The entire Mumbai worshiped the BLACK SWAN but you REJECTED HER ?
When you realized that this food will be earned by emerging BLACK SWAN in your character - you decided to reject that FOOD. In other words you decided to reject that part of PERFECTION that lacked MORAL VALUES AND ETHICS.
EXPERIENCE OF THE FOOD FROM ALL DIMENSIONS ALONE CAN BEAT PERFECTION.
BEATING HUNGER CANNOT BEAT PERFECTION.
Going in pursuit of FOOD / SEX is SURVIVAL/PERFECTION.
Not going in pursuit of FOOD / SEX cannot BEAT PERFECTION AND ENLIGHTEN YOU.
TOTALITY ALONE CAN BEAT PERFECTION. Life is in the TOTALITY-WHOLENESS.
CREATE PRECIOUS MOMENTS AND SUCCESS WILL FOLLOW AUTOMATICALLY.
YOU will LOSE the match and YOURSELF will become SUCCESSFULLL in 500 days.
The ESSENCE OF YOU will be OUT OF STOCK as it will be FINISHED by YOURSELF.
As and when the essence of YOU is replenished and restored ; very Aesthetically YOURSELF will consume and FINISH it again and again.
You have this ONE MOMENT!
Now try EXPERIENCING all the DIMENSIONS that you could possibly experience if you perform the same TASK 1000 times in 1000 days.
PRACTICE MAKES A MAN PERFECT IS ILLUSION !
FINISH IT ELSE AESTHETICALLY I WILL FINISH IT !
