a to z mantra for dreamer doers

07-Feb-10

Sir M Visvesvaraya – one of the best role models for any dreamer doer in the crowd, seems to have followed his own unique thumb rule of success practiced routinely. Recently, during a quest to understand his works in the context of sustainable business strategies, I came across this nice Alphabet list supposed to have been compiled and presented by Sir MV in Oct 1919:

Attend carefully to details

Be prompt in all things

Consider well, then decide positively

Dare to do right, fear to do wrong

Endure trials patiently

Fight life’s battle bravely

Go not into the society of the vicious

Hold integrity sacred

Injure not another’s reputation

Join hands with the virtuous

Keep your mind free from all thoughts

Lie not for any consideration

Make many friends

Never try to appear what you are not

Observe good manners

Pay your debts promptly

Question not the veracity of friend

Respect the counsel of your parents

Sacrifice money rather than principle

Trust thyself

Use your leisure for improvement

Venture not on the threshold of wrong

Watch carefully over your passions

Xtend to everyone a kindly greeting

Yield not to discouragement

Zealously labor for the right, and success is certain.

 

It might be easy for many of us to write or think in a good, structured manner. But it takes everything to live one. Sir MV has demonstrated the true qualities of dreamer doers in the crowd, through his works such as Nation Building or Reconstructing India – that seem to be relevant any day for any country and proved the same in his actions & results, throughout the century of his life.

Looks like we should just – Salute the MASTER and follow the footsteps, while carving own impressions ….

ಕರ್ಮಯೋಗಿಗಳಾಗುವುದು ಹೇಗೆ?

10-Jan-10

ಕರ್ಮಯೋಗವೆಂದರೆ ಫಲಾಪೇಕ್ಶೆಯಿಲ್ಲದೆ ಕರ್ಮವನ್ನ್ಯು ಮಾಡುವುದಂತೆ. ಸ್ವಂತ ಇಚ್ಚೆಯಿಂದಲೋ ಅನಿವಾರ್ಯದಿಂದಲೋ ಪ್ರಾರಂಭಿಸಿದ ಕಾರ್ಯವನ್ನು ಅತ್ಯಂತ ಶ್ರದ್ಡೆಯಿಂದ ತಮ್ಮ ಉಸಿರಿಗಿಂತಲೂ ಹೆಚ್ಚಿನದಾಗಿಸಿಕೊಂಡವರನ್ನು ಏನೆಂದು ಗುರ್ತಿಸುವುದು? ಸಾಧಕರೇ, ಸಂತರೇ ಅಥವಾ ಕರ್ಮಯೋಗಿಗಳೇ? ನಾನರಿಯೆ.

ಈದಿನ ೫ ಮಂದಿ ಮಹಾಸಾದಕರ ದರ್ಶನ, ವಿಚಾರಧಾರೆ, ವಿಭಿನ್ನವಾದ ನಂಬಲಸದಳವಾದ ಸರಳಿಕೆಯ ಜೀವನ ಶ್ಯೆಲಿ ಮತ್ತದರ ಗುರುತರ ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಪರಿಣಾಮಗಳ ಪರಿಚಯವಾಯಿತು. ಹತ್ತು ಹಲವು ಉತ್ಸಾಹಿ ಧುರೀಣರು ಸೇರಿ ಪ್ರಾರಂಬಿಸಿರುವ ಕುವೆಂಪು ವೇದಿಕೆ ಟ್ರಸ್ಟ್, ದೊಡ್ಡಬಳ್ಳಾಪುರ ಇಂದು ಅದರ ಪ್ರಥಮ ಸಭೆಯೊಂದಿಗೆ ಹೊಂದಿಸಿದ ವಿನೂತನ ಸತ್ಕಾರ ಸಮಾರಂಭ ನಿಜಕ್ಕೂ ಅತ್ಯುನ್ನತ.

ಇಂದು ಸನ್ಮಾನಿತರಾದವರು – ಒಬ್ಬರು ಕನ್ನಡ ಪಂಡಿತರು, ಪದವೀಧರ ನೂತನ ವಿಚಾರವಾದಿ ಪ್ರಯೋಗಶೀಲ ಕ್ರುಷಿಕ, ದಿಟ್ತ್ಟ ಸಮಾಜ ಸೇವಕಿ, ರಂಗಭೂಮಿಯ ಮೂಲಕ ರೈತ ಯುವಕರಲ್ಲಿ ನವಚೇತನ ತುಂಬುತ್ತಿರುವ ನಾಟಕಗಾರ, ಅಳಿದುಳಿದ ಭೂಮಿಯನ್ನು ಬಳಸಿಕೊಂಡು ಮಾದರಿ ಜೀವನ ನಡೆಸಿ ಸಂಪೂರ್ಣ ಧನ್ಯತೆ ಪಡೆದಿರುವ ರೈತ ಮಹಿಳೆ!

ಇವರ ಹುರುಪು ಅವರ ವಯಸ್ಸಿನ ಹಿಂದಿರುವ ಹಲವು ದಶಕಗಳ ಒಂದಿನಿತು ಛಾಯೆಯನ್ನೂ ತೋರ್ಗೊಡದೆ ಹಸಿರಿನ ಬಲವನ್ನು ಎತ್ತಿ ಬಿತ್ತರಿಸುತ್ತಿತ್ತು. ಇವರಂತಹ ಅದೆಷ್ಟು ಕರ್ಮಯೋಗಿಗಳ ಫಲದಿಂದ ಈ ನಾಡು ಬೆಳೆಯುತ್ತಿದೆಯೋ! ಸುಂದರ ಹಾಗು ಸರಳವಾದ ಅನುಭವದ ನುಡಿಗಳು ಅತ್ಯಮೂಲ್ಯವಾದ ಗ್ರಂಥಗಳ ಸಾರಾಂಶದಂತಿದ್ದುವು. ಈ ಮಾದರಿ ಸಮಾರಂಭ ನಡೆಸಿದ ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗಳು ಶಾಶ್ವತವಾಗಿ ಸಫಲವಾಗಬೇಕು.

ಇಂತಹುದೊಂದು ಕಾರ್ಯಕ್ರಮ ಪ್ರತಿಯೊಂದು ಕಡೆಯೂ ನಡೆಯಬೇಕು. ಹೆಚ್ಚಾಗಿ ಮಕ್ಕಳಮುಂದೆ ಶಾಲೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆದರೆ, ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು ಯೋಗಿಗಳ ಉದಯವಾಗಬಹುದೇನೋ!
