‘Mystery Of GOAL-The Seemingly Simple 4 Letters’


GOAL,a word that is very precise ,very specific in meaning(although only for few who understand its real meaning) is the basic thing determining our lives ,our personalities and so on. Ironically, a thing ,which so elegantly determines the flow of our lives is unfamiliar to us?
Reading Eliyahu Goldratt’s ‘ The Goal’ , made me conclude that the Goal of a business is to make money or Cash flow.If we are increasing the Cash Flow ,we are moving towards the Goal of business. Money controls the whole business.The Ultimate concern of any business is Money.If at any time, value of money conflicts with some other value,then value of money wins.Money is ‘GOD’ for a business.
I guess if we ever recognize our true goal,then that serves as God for us.All decisions need to be made based on that only.Thus,Goal governs our lives totally.
I have seen some people who want to achieve their Goals of success,getting rich ,having security and so many things in order to be happy.Yet,they don’t achieve happiness not because they have not achieved their goals but because they choose the wrong goals.
This is all about ‘Confusing Means with Ends’.Actually(in this case), Ultimate Goal is Happiness; not getting rich or success or anything .They just need to serve as the means to attain the Ultimate Goal of Happiness .Happiness should govern the whole flow, not the other way around.
So far,I have assumed that we have one ultimate Goal.But, often we are so disorganized in ourselves that we have too many ‘GOALS’ or ‘GODS’ governing our lives.We have internal battles going on between our desires of love,friendship,making money and so on(actually list is endless) .We just carry on our lives with being ignorant of our most desired value,the value which should govern each and every action of ours.
Has anybody (or can anybody) ever be acquainted with the ‘GOD’ for himself?????
…………………………………………………………………………………………………….To be Continued till I get the answer or anybody among you comes across that.

Books for me


BOOKS-The World Seems to be contained in these.But is it really so?
Ask a person 'who (or what ) is GOD?'or Ask a lover 'what is LOVE?'or Ask somebody 'what is pain?'
Not even a handful will be able to tell you. Not because they don't know but because they don't have the words to tell you or we can say they are handicapped in the sense that they are not able to express even their thoughts.
Ya,this is what books mean to me.....
They are not a source of'What is What?' to me rather they remove my this handicapcy.
They take me in the world which is mine but I had never dared to explore that due to my that particular handicapcy.
Today,m writing not because I am a good writer or I want to become so but because mu books have given me the power to do so.They have really removed my handicapcy in the real sense.
