"On Bonding and Deeper Relationships"-Mini Stories

Here are some mini-stories on human bonding and deeper relationships:-

 Bonding and Higher emotions
The disciple, “Guruji, I am very disturbed these days. Are we basically selfish? Are our base feelings stronger than higher emotions? Does our communication reveal our selfishness? Are selfish thoughts the first to come in our mind, even in case of a tragedy? And most importantly are we all selfish or some of us are?”
The Guru, “You have fired a volley of questions. Let me answer in brief one by one. Firstly, to make it simple we can have a scale where one end represents base feelings and the other end represents higher emotions. We all belong to different points on the scale depending upon our evolution and level of consciousness. It is like being at different points in the journey.”
He continues, “Selfish thoughts often come to the mind first because of our self protection mechanism, yet we also feel guilty. We cannot stop the thoughts from coming yet we can stop them from staying. In the Kaliyuga (The Dark Age) most of the people have stronger base feelings and in the Satyuga (The Truth Age), most of the people have stronger higher emotions.”
The disciple, “So what do we do, till the time we evolve.”
The Guru, “Deep and empathetic listening is very crucial for good personal and professional relationships. One more crucial element is highlighting higher emotions and downplaying base feelings. A combination of both (empathetic listening & highlighting higher emotions) would result in genuine bonding in relationships and making progress in the human journey.”

All those questions that include ‘Why me?’and every situation that made her feel bad is flashing from the past.She has a bunch of people around her. Those people who have different mindsets, different goals, and different approach towards life.  May be she builds stronger bonds with lesser people. She is questioning herself, “Is it worth being here?”May be she doubts because,in this temporary world, she still believes in profound talks and eternal relationships. Not just her life revolves around building connections rather she believes in living them. People often perceive her as one with detached persona.But she is a human with reserved emotions who takes a while to truly open up.She hardly discusses her emotions except when she feels she has built a strong enough connection with a person. No doubt, socializing is a difficult task for her. An

18th January, 2013 And how a book changed my life forever? Caution-Nobody is a complete extrovert or introvert. These are tendencies and we all are on different points of the scale. We have lived in a world which worships the ‘Extrovert’ and pushes the ‘Introvert’ to become an extrovert, to get success. As 'The New York Times' bestselling author Susan Cain says, “Introversion along with its cousins sensitivity, seriousness and shyness is now a second class personality trait.” But many of us have not even realised the world has changed. The credit for this goes to Social Media (aka Facebook, Linkedin Twitter and others), which arrived around 2006. Social Media gives an opportunity to introverts to express themselves from the computer (later they can come out in the open to express their passions.) Sometime back, Raja Choudhury, well known Digital Filmmaker-Director & Founder, Universal Quest & C3CUBE Multimedia, recommended me to read The New York Time
