Ever thought why it is so and how to reach to a level to do so ? By the way a good part of answer is in your own quote; "I am thankful for all of those who said "NO" to me. Its because of them I’m doing it myself."

My observation is; " Every person, every living being is unique and interesting and so is every place". Issue is to cultivate our senses to the level that everything starts looking interesting. I have posted a video under another thread on Jatland. I am posting it here again. Watch the faces of people in the video how interesting they look. Every face tells a story;

Nature is the biggest science laboratory. Newton got his ideas while watching falling apples and Raman got it watching blue color of ocean water. Indian philosophers had been talking of mass-energy concept muc before Einstein. Most of the medicines were discovered while watching wild animals and plants. In act lot can be understood even looking inwards. Our own body and thought process is also a big laboratory. We have to just learn how to perceive our finer senses. Lot can be learned from the feedback process between our body and thought process.

I suppose this is what meditation is about.

I suppose, be the change you want to see. That, I suppose, is a better state.

As we know, such topics can lead to almost unending debates. This has been debated all through history by philosophers and other thinkers. As expected there is no unique answer. The reason is that there is no situation in life which can be defined by a linear mathematical equation. Even simplest situations have multiple variables and therefore a polynomial equation. In most cases there are no exact solutions. One gets multiple approximate solutions to all such equations.

When one talks of change, simplest possible model one can think of is the person himself and his surroundings. Surrounding and self, both are dynamic variables. It is next to impossible to solve such problems without simplifications and approximations. This is where the understanding comes into play. One has to know about self and surrounding both. Ideal would be to look for a solution which is surrounding independent and this is what a Yogi aspires for. He gives up everything or choses a life path which is independent of surroundings. Lesser yogis try to optimize their life by removing parts of surroundings.

I feel for scientifically and mathematically minded people it should by much easier to understand and then find an optimum state. In my view an ideal state would be the most stable state. Most stable states are the one which have lowest energy levels and which indirectly translates to cutting down the effects of surroundings on one's life.

Fabulous answer! Rajendra ji, you are very learned in my humble opinion :)

Thank you very much for the compliments. I would call it more like an experienced driver who knows the condition of his car, the road , type of traffic expected and the distance to be travelled. Being a student of science, I try to model my day to day issues. Almost every situation in life can be compared to a concept in science. Let me share one very interesting concept of computer science which I adopted many years back in my daily life. In a computer we have an accumulator and a processor. Accumulator keeps track of events in processor. Some how I learned to divide my brain into two parts on the same concept. Small part of my brain just tracks what is going on in my brain. This way I can very distinctly identify the moments responsible for my being high or low and the associated causes. This concept has been a great navigational tool for me.

I think I am familiar with the specifically underlined experience :). Very helpful, I must say, to have this kind of understanding about oneself.
 
Relationships are like books. Some are for one time reading, some for just title reading, some to be avoided, some for rereading, some for reading, understanding and then analyzing, only few are sacred like Geeta, Quran and Guru Garanth Sahib. As we grow older, we are left with only last category of relationsips.

Did you write this quote, kumar ji? It is indeed very profound in meaning.

I will apply this only selectively and not universally as every case is different. Walking away from such people all the time is not the best solution.
