Socrates, my model

29 May 2017 If anyone asks you who is your teacher I don't know what your response will be. But if you ask me, indeed, I will respond Socrates, a founder of western philosophy from Greek. Why? Was he handsome? Indeed not. 'Then, how he has been in your heart?' When I was in my late childhood, I read him in Nepali book.Through that book I knew that he was short, had bulging eyes and was not good looking but he had good soul that could dazzle the world. He is the man who taught me not to get afraid of anyone if I am right. None should surrender for his life but should be ready to accept death for the sake of truth. His drinking a mixture of hemlock poison in front of people and taking his last breath for the sake of truth made me keep him as my teacher. i have never seen him neither he was good looking but was able to reside in my heart. No one should live a life of humiliating but of the worth. Everyone should love the place where he gets birth. He did not like to be exiled but accepted death drinking the poison himself in front of people. He said, 'Wonder is the beginning of wisdom'.Dialectic method was the source of knowledge to him. He used to stand as an ignorant and ask the questions to the people he met. Then he used to get knowledge from them.Questioning to people and their responses accrue his knowledge in the concerned field. A person who drives walloping buffaloes to the barns knows how they sweep way the flies and the pain in the eyes with their tails. In the same way, he pointed out that human choice was motivated by the desire for happiness. If you want to be happy, you have to direct to your subconscious mind with pleasing feeling. You have to dream to have opulence and imagine receiving the medal or prizes or other zones where you can enjoy. If you think, desire and devote wholeheartedly, one day you will get it. Never dream about the hovel but dream to have a castle in your life. You should wish opulence to flow to you. It's your right and so is mine.To achieve opulence, get acquainted with the riches of your subconscious mind.If you command your subconscious mind through your conscious mind, one day you will have it. Your desire must benefit humanity. If you have opulence, you can have a luxurious bed to sleep, but not sound sleep. The opulence you accumulated through illegal ways will be the cause of pain, suffering, fear and depression. Therefore you should have psychological and spiritual understanding. A skeptic may suffer in his life than the ones who follow creeds. The creeds do not allow any human beings to involve in treacherous activities. A leader who becomes a leader of people with the barrel of the guns always gets afraid of people but a saint who becomes a guru walks freely among the crowds. Thus, I believe in my muscles and accept that a coward walks with bullet and can't sleep well even at night. Let's claim wealth, happiness, peace,true expression, love, and good will to all. Such a thinking ends conflict from the society. There will be harmony, peace, prosperity and overall development in our society.Therefore, infinite intelligence governs and watches over all our financial transactions. Whatsoever we do shall prosper.If we mull over such a way, we can lead the society towards prosperity. Let's mull over, desire and act accordingly, we will get copiously what we wish.
