A Step Towards Yourself

Nearly two decades ago, I got  a chance to play the DOS game called Budo. It was a transforming experience. Not that the game was extremely brilliant, even though good it was.

What fascinated me was that at unexpected moments a brilliant quote would flash on the screen.

Two of those quotes from that game entered my life forever, I still contemplate their meaning. Let me share them with you:

The first one:

Center yourself by accepting whatever you're doing now.

We generally rush through life, focusing only on our so called 'important' moments and activities.

We are here to enjoy life, not to run through it in a frenzied rush. After all, we can only do one thing at a time; that done well leads to the next.

Think on the above quote, and you will find that not a moment of your life will ever go to waste again. All your frustrations will dissolve, when you accept whatever you're doing NOW. You really enter into that activity. It may be the most mundane, boring task, like drinking a glass of water.

When you accept that act, it becomes the most important act of your life, and your mind settles down. A hitherto unknown kind of contentment enters your heart as you take each sip, savoring the sensation of coolness as it travels down your throat.

You realize there is no hurry, that this ordinary task is also an important moment in my life, in fact this is the most important moment now, and I can't do anything else now.

Isn't that a step towards yourself?


The original quote:

“Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free: Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing. This is the ultimate.”- Chuang-tzu

Better Listen To You Body To Survive: Why the Health Of The Average Indian Is Failing

Months back, while tasting an apple bought from a supermarket, I was repulsed by the noxious taste and odour of some chemical. I couldn't bring myself to eat it. Later I read that Formalin is mixed with Fruits to preserve them.


Lately, I got the same noxious taste and feeling while drinking tea made out of packed milk. It was a popular brand in Delhi. There was also a burning sensation in the stomach. One day, there was an unusually strong smell of Chlorine in the milk. I have been feeling uneasy after drinking tea nowadays, instead of the usual energetic feel. Something wasn't right, but I couldn't pinpoint it.

Interestingly, some days even the dogs wouldn't touch the milk.


The body has its own ways of warning us. If you have a foreboding gut feeling with a particular item, back off.


The worst fears were confirmed with this article: The Milk You drink may be laced with detergents.


A team of researchers from Maitreyi College led by Brototi Roy conducted this study. They collected 75 milk samples randomly from all over NCR (National Capital Region). Shockingly all 75 samples were contaminated with deadly chemicals.


The video below shows how 1 litre milk is made into 20-30 litres before being supplied to distributors' factories for packing.
