First... let me take care of the prelude on the very basic subject - missing trust in society...
one major lesson I learned while working in the corporate sector - is that there is a major problem of trust among the employees. u will feel it if u work in a big corporate head office - mainly where the major decisions are usually taken inside the ac room - taken by top bosses - who hardly have any ground-level knowledge - and the decision is pushed through the throats of the lower level officials and then ultimately the consumers.
whereas it should have been from the bottom up and not from the top to bottom.
for example, a guy who is doing sales on the roads, interacting day-to-day with real-life customers hardly plays any role in the major decision-making policy of a corporate house.
the result?
the employees just lose the basic purpose - why they do - why they struggle each and every day - for whom - just for earning the bread and butter for their family members?
so when I raised this issue in the USA, that might sound ridiculous to the corporate people of the USA, that if an employee feels an emotional attachment with the policy of the companies - or maybe if they think whatever they do is actually adding some values - and not just to be thrown away in the dustbin- they would perform better - i got the answer as - okay - the company might vanish - u ll change the organization - but your family will always be your family - so it's better not to be emotionally attached to an organization.
then I iterated the old ethos of employees from TISCO, Jamshedpur - how they think of Rushi Modi or Tata - as facilitators for whom they are able to flourish - a different kind of attitude towards the top bosses - but frankly speaking, I got a cold shoulder for making such a statement.
maybe, I came from a very small town where it was just absolutely normal to keep your babies in the house of a neighbor - if u need to go shopping or whatever - that's why this kind of so-called lower middle-class thought process has "polluted" my mind - and hence nobody actually did any efforts to make me a friend in my careers in the corporate world.
in fact, I got a very strong message that
बुद्धिर्यस्य बलं तस्य निर्बुद्धेश्च कुतो बलम् ।
वने सिंहो यदोन्मत्तः मशकेन निपातितः ॥
and spent my whole corporate life
thinking
am I a moron?
or
is it that modern society suffers from the basic amount of #trust among each other?
Sometimes, one has to walk alone to establish #Truth
The English Translation of the song
If they pay no heed to your call walk on your own.
Walk alone, walk alone, walk alone, walk all alone.
If none speaks, o wretched one,
If all turn their face away and cower in silence—
Then open out your heart
dear one, speak out your mind, voice alone.
If everyone spurns, o wretched one
If all leave you in the lurch in the wilderness
Then trample the trail of thorns
With your blood-stained feet alone, on your own.
If no one holds up a light, o wretched one
And bolts the doors on a dark, stormy night
Then in the lightning fire of pain
Kindle your own heart and keep it burning bright alone.
Today I'd like to explain why I like the management policy of Modiji based on #viswas - #trust - and how it matches my way of thinking.
when I was in class V, there was a librarian called Sundarbabu in my school
one day, he narrated a story - Viswase milaye bostu... tarke bohudur
the meaning - is the first one has to have tremendous faith and conviction before he achieves something - and once he starts doubting - it never comes to his reach
then he narrated about Swami Vivekananda and Ramakrishna
meeting in which Swamiji asked the #guru
can u show me, God
the guru replied - sure.100 percent
so just try to understand - the conviction of the #guru - the faith in his own power and connection with the almighty #maakaali -when he uttered such a statement to one of the most logical-minded, well-read young #notanotherbrickinthewall kind of fellow.
and the most interesting part is that after that, Swamiji accepted Ramakrishna as his #guru
so, as u can see
every relationship first must start with the viswas - the trust - in fact, the blind trust - it should not be judged by mere logic.
and all throughout my personal life - I did the exact same thing while interacting with others - I always believed in starting or making friendships with absolute trust - viswas
I was cheated many times - many people termed me as an asshole, stupid, moron, emotional fool, and whatnot
it shattered my basis of the characteristic - the viswas - the trust
and after that I had to suffer a lot in my personal life - I lost a major portion of my life with this polluted, muddy nature of myself - which I am really not.
my basic nature was broken - and I became someone else
at last - left everything - and started keeping the trust in #lordshiva and other powerful personalities like #lordkrishna #lordrama - the story of whom made my character during childhood - the kind of narrative psychology as you know in modern medical science.
in fact, started living a secluded life - always remain happy in my own world - don't depend on anybody else, and will live the rest of my life doing
#kartabya - the #PURPOSE - the #duty - as a #dad, as a #guru of my young son #ridit - making him capable of taking a role in the nation-building
and for that whoever helps me
will be ready to accept that -
as if this is the ultimate duty to my #LordShiva
here is my write-up on this called
#renunciation
