    About this ebook

    Non-Fiction: Empowering Consciousness, Life Wellness, Personal Excellence.

    Almost everything, which has a ‘utility’ at one stage of life, stands a good chance of qualifying for ‘futility’ later. For all thinking people, the larger conflict of life and living experiences is unraveled and expressed in multi-dimensional ‘Cyclicality Of Utility And Futility’.
    The inquisitive mind and its curious energy cannot leave a thinking person to rest in perpetuity of peace as the world we live in is colossal and the questions of life and living conflicts and conundrums are infinite. However, we all need to be sure that this unsettling energy of conflict is a huge gift, not a burden.
    Hundreds of years back, the old wisdom – spiritualism and philosophy offered us sure answers but in time, they have lost trust with us somehow, as they seem to somehow ‘misfit’ with modern ideas. We shall talk like friends about these issues in the light of a ‘new thinking’, which assimilates and integrates all wisdoms – spiritualism, philosophy and science. Being in ‘true utilities’ of life is essential, as it lands us in perpetuity of infinite joy and wellness.

    Author

    Santosh Jha

    People say, what conspire to make you what you finally become are always behind the veil of intangibility. Someone called it ‘Intangible-Affectors’. Inquisitiveness was the soil, I was born with and the seeds, these intangible-affectors planted in me made me somewhat analytical. My long stint in media, in different capacities as journalist, as brand professional and strategic planning, conspired too! However, I must say it with all innocence at my behest that the chief conspirators of my making have been the loads of beautiful and multi-dimensional people as well as ideas that traversed along me, in my life journey so far. The mutuality and innocence of love and compassion always prevailed and magically worked as the catalyst in my learning and most importantly, unlearning from these people, ideas as well as situations. Unconsciously, these amazing people and my own stupidly non-intuitive cognition also worked out to be the live theatres of my experiments with my life’s scripts. I, sharing with you what I have internalized as body-mind Media, is essentially my very modest way to express my gratitude for all of them. In my stupidities is my innocence of love for all my beautifully worthy conspirators!

      Thrilled to have you with me!

      I feel truly happy to tell you that this, I do not intend to be a book. Rather, it is like friends chatting up, sharing whatever we can together to enhance the wellness space.

      It is my humble belief that any person, in whatever state of consciousness and positioning, is in some special ways, better than a wisdom-book, for the purpose of life & living learning. I must tell you, I have learnt and more importantly, unlearnt, primarily from people. Books somehow are people-material in text-format.

      Almost everything, which has a utility at one stage of life, stands a good chance of qualifying for futility later. For all thinking people, the larger conflict of life and living experiences is unraveled and expressed in multi-dimensional cyclicality of utility and futility.

      The inquisitive mind and its curious energy cannot leave a thinking person to rest in perpetuity of peace as the world we live in is colossal and the questions of life and living conflicts and conundrums are infinite. We shall see that this unsettling energy is a huge gift.

      Most of us, who live in modern contemporary world of complexities, have questions as what a good and righteous person should consider as ‘perpetual-utility’ in life, amidst the general feeling of futility of everything around. What is this singular life and living positioning, which can make us live the life in a state of consciousness, endowed with true utilities, shunning away all those futilities, which land us in pain and regret?

      Hundreds of years back, spiritualism and philosophy offered us answers but in time, they have lost trust with us somehow, as they seem to ‘misfit’ with modern ideas. We shall talk about these issues in the light of a ‘new thinking’, which assimilates and integrates all wisdoms – spiritualism, philosophy and science.

      It is such a beautifully satisfying fact that core ideas of all wisdoms are similar, only varying in their interpretative details. We shall also talk about this similarity here.

      However, first, we have to come down to one common premise, which shall help us is the fruition of the issue at hand – Being In Perpetuity Of Consciousness Positioning Of Utility In Futility.

      There has to be a humble admittance – Any word, however well meant and well spelt, is a possible suspect of ‘misrepresentation’. There is a simple reason.

      Do you remember when your flight is about to land, the pilot aborts the landing, jolting your peace, just because something as insignificant as a ‘stray dog’ happens to be on the runway?

      You already know, how similar is the fate of human words, which we all accept as the best and worthy carriers of human ‘intentions’. This airplane of human words, carrying good and noble intentions need to make a good, smooth and safe landing on the runway of another human’s mind and consciousness, which again is worthy and hugely able.

      Still, the good intentioned words sometimes fail to land on the mind of others, as there is some ‘insignificant’, yet potentially fatal obstacle standing midway the runway!

      It is believed, If the hypothesis is right, the idea is accepted as right. If two people have an assimilative and integrative attitude, one can easily see that root trouble is in subjectivity of the hypotheses. This helps in resolution of conflict of ideas.

      Friendship is one positioning, where assimilation and integration about divergent hypotheses has larger accommodative space. A seed is more objectively accommodative in space than a grown up tree. Friendship is seed positioning.

      That is why, at the very start, I very affectionately requested you to be my friend and accept this all as one long conversation between friends. Kindly, accept this not as a book but a ‘confabulation’ between friends. This, I am confident, shall engender smoothness of navigation and fruition of the entire exercise.

      As a friend, I must tell you, I have put up a ‘price tag’ on it to fund my charity endeavors. All proceeds from this and other works of mine shall go to charity.

      With all humility and sincerity at my behest, I wish to tell you, it needs to be said that there is only one person on the earth, who can say that he has understood. Otherwise, this domain is reserved for a metaphor called God. This is not available for humans.

      It is also a heart-felt realization that our very worthy ancestors, who had the intelligence and courage to face the worst, life made them to, so that we inherit a better beautiful world, have already said almost all good things. What I can do is present them in new set of words with novelty of references.

      The only justification of me telling them is that all goodness and wellness ideas and words need to be repeated and retold, to add to their all-pervasiveness.

      At the age of 46, I can say with innocence that getting old is such a beautiful and satisfying experience. It makes the ‘self’ accept the ‘utility and fruition’
