LIFE MULTIPLYING ACTIONS
Posted on November 29, 2024 by KHALID HASHMI, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.
I always tried to learn life,and around life things through Questions.Questions leads to Actions.
ANSWERS 2 MYSELF
How Life of a person should talk to itself!
I am going to complete 54 this October.This is neither a milestone of age,nor of anything else,Its just a number,reflecting my age,but by the arrival point of this age,I have gathered Questions of life that become a burden having a stopping effect if not answered correctly,and more importantly timely.I feel,I am not on time,I am late in answering,or rather trying to answer the Questions of life.
But I am unable to move forward on my age journey if I still don’t try to find the answers to Questions of life.
Whose life?Only mine?or anyone’s,whoever is reading it,life?
And what are these Questions,who are being addressed as Questions of life by me?Do I really have Questions,or I just want to make statements coming out of my life experiences?
I always tried to learn life,and around life things through Questions.Thats my only methodology to understand anything,So I can say this comfortably that Questions being addressed as Questions of life are mine,but posted by my life only,and answered by my life only.
I don’t know if they are applicable to life in general or not!I don’t know if the same answers of mine reach to different Questions iof different people reading it!Or It does not reach anywhere!
For me,Its my personal journey,And I am taking you along with me,Lets see if you reach somewhere with me or you leave me during this journey of me.
QUESTION 1:WHY SHOULD I ACT?
My act is to write at this moment,and your act is to read it at this moment.Why we act?I can break this question into various parts.Why did I act earlier in life?Why am I acting now?Why and what should I act in future?
I heard my entire life that we act the way anything we act upon is destined to be acted.Then what was the need to act?Thing will act on its own,bringing destiny into the picture.Hindu traditions try to answer this through the lense of Srimad Bhagwat Gita,saying,you act,don’t care for the outcome.Our lives in general defy this advise during most of our lives,and we try to control the outcome,or we desire to get a specific outcome.
At 54,this Question becomes bigger.
I acted the way I was destined to act,I accept it-and I also accept that the outcomes achieved were also acted by the cosmic forces,leaving no place for me to play with any situation in life.I am not a believer in WHAT I DO,HAPPENS theory,and I have no intentions to argue with those who believe in it,I am a believer in destiny,and I am happy with the outcomes that destiny provided me,
What troubles me is the next Question.When I see my family members at the age of 80,88 or 93,I fail to understand,what should they act upon?and why?For what?
When I am into action zone,I can clearly see destiny playing games,and changing the path of various events,but at this distanced age,I fail to understand the theory of action.
And untill I get clarity on this Question,What would be the charm to live beyond 54?
For what?
Leading to what?
And why?
If I decide to forcibly bind this Question with the available situations of self,family and society,It may look like an answer,but it wont be the answer.
Answer should come from within.
As I look outside in the dark at this moment when it rains heavily,All looks frozen,as I done see anything,even if something is moving,I cant see that,and I believe it all is frozen outside,but I know its not.I hear the sound of the rain,the high and lows of the frequencies of its fall on ground,the ground which is not seen by my eyes from my fifth floor apartment in Mumbai.
And at this moment of uncertain mind,I get a flash in my mind,its coming from Gita but with more clarity.Is it the answer to my Question,an answer that can bind my wild questioning ego to a realistic acceptance of truth?
What I get,I share here.
Answers to Myself
ACTION is the only truth of life.
There are three kind of Actions.
LIFE SUPPORTING ACTION 1
This Life Supporting Action 1 is To eat,To drink water,To Urinate,To pass stool and to sleep.
These five actions are forced on us humans by life.We need to do it,if we need to live.
There is an optional Action,a pre action before this,by us or by someone else forced on us.
Not to eat,Not to drink,Not to urinate,Not to pass stool and not to sleep,AND TO DIE.
So here its very simple,One Pre Action versus five post actions,Just to live or die.
There is no space of any kind of manupulations in this Action,and this action does not trouble us much.
So lets leave it.
LIFE LIVING ACTION 2
This Life Living Action 2 is a chain of millions of Sub Actions.
These sub actions arise mainly from five Outcome factors:Our abilities,Compulsions,Desires,Impositions and Dreams.
I feel,I made mistakes in this zone,and I feel most of us make mistakes here in this zone.
• Abilities mean What we have in us-like leadership,like singing
• Compulsions means what we have to do at any cost-like,to earn for our bread,like,to serve a sick parent
• Desires mean what we want in our lives,mostly by looking at others-like,owning a bigger car
• Impositions mean what others force on us-like,parents sending us for tutions
• Dreams mean what we feel,without any of the above mentioned factors
I never sat silently to evaluate the above mentioned Outcome factors,not even at the age of 24,when I started my practical work life,nor till yesterday,Now I can say,I am trying
I directly jumped to the Result of these outcome factors
Like-I need to give One million Indian Rupees to some friend in need-but I forget,this could be the outcome of any of the above mentioned factors only,I might become a singer,earn well,and help my friend
If this factor of abilities does not happen,this outcome can never be reached
But I just like millions of others desire the result,more than the outcome factor itself
And you apply all five Outcome factors to different situations,you,just like me,will see that we all are jumping the Queu in most of the cases.
Yes,There will be a certain result,of every Outcome Factor,
Gita teaches the same,so whats different for me in this answer
Perspective – I need to teach myself that these Outcome Factors are the Life Living Actions posted by cosmic forces.If we don’t move on them,we die.
Life ends.
Everything including the time moves,whatever does not move,dies,ends
So Life Living Actions are not the choices,it’s the base of life.Life is created for these Life Living Actions based upon Outcome Factors,not binded by Results.
If we want to live,we need to take Life Living Actions
And so,our elders still take Life Living Actions,just for the purpose of living,Nothing more.
They watch TV,TO TAKE ACTION TO ENJOY
They talk,TO TAKE ACTION TO KNOW MORE
They crib,TO TAKE ACTION TO OPPOSE
They are still taking Actions,Life Living Actions
Many times,inside their minds,and not speaking them out,but they are still taking Life Living Actions
The only difference is,that,at this distanced age of 80 or 90,Most Life Living Actions are not related with material,so we don’t consider them actions.
If I bring this to my age of 54,My Life Living Actions will be more connected with material,so let them be
But I need to find my Life living actions based on five Outcome Factors of Abilities,Compulsions,Desires,Impositions and Dreams
Totally disconnected from Results
And whatever Results are achieved,they become the base of THIRD KIND OF ACTIONS,They need to be acted when they get origininated.
Like,A Billionire worked on his company,made billions,now the third category of Actions will consist of ACTIONS TAKEN ON THIS RESULTING PRODUCT,Here in his case-Wealth.If he spends it on his son’s marriage,Its again an action.
Third kind of Action.
LIFE MULTIPLYING ACTION 3
If we use Outcome Factor of Ability to sing which gives a result of Popularity,We can take action by using this Resulting product.Popularity can lead us to organise a Charity Show.
Outcome Factor of Desire to have Sex can give a child as a resulting product,and this resulting product can lead us to organise his education systems.
These actions are multiplying actions coming out of the Resulting product of the Life Living Actions based on Outcome Factors.
We take actions on them,as and when they arrive.
So which one is most important?
LIFE LIVING ACTIONS based on Outcome Factors.
Disconnected with the Resulting Products.
Its not a choice,It’s the DNA of Life Matrix-to live!
I am going to sit and choose my Life Living Actions based on my Outcome Factors
And then to execute them
Knowing fully that they are bound with Resulting Products,which is bound with Life Multiplying Actions,but to keep my focus only on Life Living Actions might give me that which I aspire to get
