I am the One and Only !



I am the One and Only.

Almost every revelation, discourse from any prophet, incarnate, divinty worth their name in salt have uttered thus or some variation.

Bhagavad-Gita 12:06 

Bhagavad-Gita 07:14

 and many more in the Bhagavad-Gita, Bible and many such religious texts.

And each time that happens, a new religion, sect etc. is formed, claiming to be followers of the only true one and the others to be false (MASSIVE FACEPALM).

Achieving the EXACT opposite of the revelation.

The 'One' is all pervasive, unmanifest ! Logically also it makes perfect sense, the case that there can be only one 'One', and well, that's exactly what the One claimed, albeit about the unmanifest and not the manifestation.

And then each one of us, instead of understanding that there's only one One, with our finite wisdom, generally mislead by marketing managers (religious leaders) ask the question 'Which One ?'

The global religion marketing wars are now common knowledge, each selling their version of the 'One'; (with online ads also being adopted by some)

Ïn Hinduism, you will see religious scholars debating on the dashavtarrs being incarnates; whether of Krsna or of Vishnu, of who the greater God is Vishnu or Mahadev.

And they forget that the almost every form that they claim to be the One, including Vishnu, from whom these worlds are supposed to have emanated, mentioned that the One is unmanifest.

Going further, I have also at a point read a story about the BramhaDev (5 headed) of earth, once getting riled up about something and deciding to go to the One to complain, and being asked to stand in a queue, where he meets the BramhaDev of another much bigger world and thus having a 1000 heads who narrates issues tremendously bigger than his, and this reminding him of the triviality of the issue.

 The story is mentioned to remind us that we are really trivial, the path to the One itself is important and should be the focus of our lives, instead of trying to decide which One !!

Equity / Share Markets - India, Globally

For quite some time have been trying to understand and figure out whether the retail investor can ever make money from the market. There are some queries which if unanswered, clearly imply the retail investor being disadvantaged in the share market, clearly indicating lack of market efficiency...   1. Insider information. This can never be done away with. The top level executives of businesses 'know the score' and will make some market moves in advance based on this information. This 'score' can be the organisation's results or regulatory changes of the government. Not in the USA, Not in India. And contrary to what many believe, post the Rajat Gupta episode, this problem exists at the same scale in all places where a share market functions. The fundamental human is the same everywhere with the same shortcomings. 2. Skill lacunae - executives generally have some management education, and brokers have 'connections', which may not be the case for t...

Body Guard

Ok, So one of the channels decided to show BodyGuard at 9 pm. yesterday. Had heard the movie wasn't that great. Had found Wanted crazily hilarious, so switched to the movie sharp at 9 pm.  The movie started with a scene localized for consumption from Rajneeti (Sorry, Rajneeti localized GodFather, and now Rajneeti gets a mention.) Why on earth would they start a movie like this ? Well that was it. The movie lost 80% of my interest then. Still hung around even though most of the going ons were nonsense. Finally switched channels when Salman Khan did a SpiderMan (no it was Robot) to jump out of the local train onto an express going in the opposite direction. Good thing the jump was before 13 Nov 2011, else, post the switchover happening today from DC to AC, a man standing on the train is likely to be pulled into the overhead wires. Last thing, please change the name of the movie to Body-Spider-Father-Man !! Sounds dumb ? That's how the start looked to me. Disclaimer:...

Reservation Quota's and India 2016

Written around April 2006... just posting it here from another of my pages... The year is now 2016. India of the future. It was exactly 10 years ago that the sensex broke the 12.5 k barrier, Gold hit a 23 year high, job offers were hitting the 1 cr (lovingly called ’khokha’) mark, jobs and economy were going up in the IT / ITES sector, Dharavi was all set to dissapper in a cloud of growth, India was all set to become the next automobile design and manufacturing hub and economy and people generally had a sense of growth, not to forget, Ralph Lauren recruitingall Indians for the next generation of clothes, just to compete with the hottest global fashion design firms ’’Lallu Dudhwala’’ and ’’Rasik Jalebiwala’’. All were set to become the citizens of the new SUPER-POWER India. As of today, the sensex still hovers around 1k, gold for those people who have it, is of collection value, since none can afford to pay more than Rs. 100 per 10 gms, most people cannot afford the public travel (...
