A young mother took her school going son to Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Bharati Thirtha Mahaswami the 36th and present Acharya in the linage of Sri Sri Sankara at Sringeri Sharada Peetham. She asks the Jagadguru to bless her son to get promoted to the higher class.
“Mother, I can only bless the child to study well since to get promoted to higher class, it is how he studies that matter.” said the Pontiff.
Further he explains the intricacies of how things happen and how we perceive it and why we get disturbed if things do not happen as we want it to. He says there is no Kaarya (Effect) without a Kaarana (Cause), for that effect to happen there has to be Srama (Effort). But there is no guarantee that the efforts put in should yield the exact expected Phala (Success). There could be cases of success achieved without much of effort for which Yoga (Fortune) is the answer. But the Yoga with Yogyata (Deservance) is appreciated since success without sweat is never sweet. Now all he can do is bless the child to study well which would act as motivation for him. He says his blessings cannot do magic to get him promoted if the boy has left the answer paper empty.
In this era the expectation is that everything has to happen in a jiffy and most importantly without any efforts. Is it possible? Yes, in the outer world it is likely to some extent, we can have instant coffee as against brewed coffee. But is it possible for the inner world too?? Off late the parents of the children around the age of 10 to 15 are restless to admit their ward to Midbrain Activation Programs imported from Malaysia and Singapore. Even this is something to do like instant formula but related to mind and memory.
What exactly is this Midbrain Activation? I was told that Midbrain comprises of Pituitary and pineal glands and a part of central nervous system associated with sight, listening, alertness, sleep and wake. The Midbrain Activation program is to activate the Pineal Gland which is also called “THIRD EYE”. How is it done? It is done with Music and Sound audio. When I contacted some students who attended the course I was told that the music was to stimulate the central cortex maybe like “Ummmmmm”.
There is nothing wrong in admitting kids to these programs but the intention are not right. Any child can be told to chant AUM at home, but it is not so the parents want the child to get admitted to the course and become brilliant students. Milk can go on to be yogurt or clarified butter but a learned person acknowledges the essentiality of both equally though they do have monetary disparities. A child may show interest in art and creativity while the other could have good memory and score will in academics.
Marketing sector does have the inclination to market any product vigorously, first they marketed memory boosters in the malt based health drinks for kids and now it is Midbrain Activation. Midbrain Activation might make the kids to overlook the depth to understand the subject they study instead adopt skimming through books to score good marks. Moreover we Indians are very well aware that nothing can be achieved at snap of fingers, yet there are some parents who forget this and want their children to do well by wave of a magic wand. Hard work with a little smartness and passion to comprehend the subject will do the trick……. What say?????
if interested to know about "THIRD EYE".......
