The Karmic Law - Judgment Day

National Conference on Mind-Body-Medicine

Mount Abu

August 6-10, 2010

Part-I The Journey

I was one of the 750 consultant doctor delegates of India, attending this conference between 6 to 10 August 2010. My love for nature and temptation to wander at Abu in the rainy season brought me here. I shall share my experiences of the event with you. I shall describe the academic part and other experiences step by step, with short articles. I invite you to be with me.

The Journey

I was boasting that it was worth being alone, but the pride vanished when the journey began in loneliness and eating alone became difficult.

Bilimora to Valsad was by car accompanied by my wife Dr Bhavana and friend Anilbhai, then Ranakpur Express drove me to Abu Road Railway station. Despite all the comforts and air-conditioning, I could hardly sleep, because, I had to leave the train early morning at 4. Three persons - Dr Bhavana, BK Jagruti, and the coach attendant woke me up, but I was ready long before they tried.

Return was easy, because, getting down was at 6. If the journey is during the daytime, the view can be enjoyed better.

1. We think that if we can obtain a certain thing, we will be happy. But when we get them, we continue to crave and suffer.
2. Fame, sex, power and wealth are the four kinds of bait that have a hook. If you are motivated by any of the desire, your destiny is suffering.
3. To love each other does not mean we sit and look at each other. It means we look in the same direction.
4. Do not try to be someone else.

1. Be aware of the suffering caused by the destruction of life. Not to kill anyone and be a supporter of killers. 
2. Be aware of sufferings caused by exploitation, social injustice, stealing and oppression. 
3. Sexual misconduct. 
4. Loving speech and deep listening. 
5. Have mindful consumption of drink, eating and consuming. We are what we consume.
