Making good use of the living example of the full life of a tree, the author has attempted to establish that our family is a total and complete entity and just like a tree, it does follow a natural process and the way of life.To understand it,we will have to look at it from the beginning to the end.
The tree is an organised expansion of a seed, which has arrived from a tree of its own clan. This seed has come along with its various specific properties such as : good and bad qualities ; deeds and undeeds ; state of its existence and organisation ; beauty and ugliness, etc. After getting sown inside the land, if the seed does sprout and develop, it will acquire the shape and size , very much similar to that of its ancestors . Of course, it is also true that the seed which sprouts somewhere on Himalayan lands will be fine, but the one that sprouts on desert lands, will not be able to achieve any thing and proceed further.The Babool plant can never produce the flowers similar to those from a rose plant. Even after putting the sugar cane juice in the roots of the bitter gourd plant, it will never be able to forget and leave its inherent bitterness quality.
There is one more important aspect, which we have to specially note and remember that the entire tree and its various constituents do possess the continued interdependence and exihibt it. The root does Jon the tree to the land and contributes towards its food and water supply. If the tree is cut off from its trunk present over and above the land, the roots will slowly rot lying inside the land for long. The trunk always stands supporting all other constituents and serves as the channel for food of the entire tree.. The branches and the leaves are present there to actively support the flowers and fruits and also transmit into them the juice of life. The leaves make food for every one of the constituents and in the end , the tree gets blessed with fruits . The fruit contains the seeds of its own clan for the birth of the new generation to schieve further progress of the family.In the end, the seed inside the fruit, hiding within it the less than molecule thin next generation tree, sprouts out..All the constituents do play their respective roles quite efficiently and independently.
One should visualise and see the entire process vividly described above, joining and appreciating it with the close resemblance of the tree and the family. The family will be able to convert itself into a worship yagna , if every one performs his designated duties regularly with sincerity and dedication ,keeping his appointed position in the family. Whosoever give the needed support to the family life, are our real members and friends . The very existence of this family tree rests on the desired fruit of the serious , continued and total attempts of regularly carrying out the designated deeds by all the constituents/family members.,
One should be always ready to generously contribute our due share towards the common benefit and the expected future of the big family.

The author has made various attempts to search for the avenues of his own pleasure and happiness and feels that he is happy.As he finds out that one can always come across the happiness and anywhere, we must continue its search actively forever during our life times.
I have developed some special habits. One day, I went through a hap-hazard hilly pathway , just as a shepherd making his familiar voices, hurr hurr. As I derived some pleasure in it, I started making the repeatitions every day.I could slowly see that by passing through the same place again and again,a narrow foot lane has become ready exclusively for me. This only has become my Rajpath. It is because while walking on this path, I could see myself very well,without giving any attention towards all others.Also, I could easily visualise ,various plants and trees that have grown near by ;different birds chirping and singing and also the special noises of titheries on the banks of various small ponds. This all provided me lots of solace in my heart and mind. This is why ,since then,I do like and prefer small narrow foot lanes in comparison to various Rajpaths.
I want to give a large amount of my to the selected few of my close friends, instead of giving its small amounts to the each one from many of them. I do not wish to search for for the love within somebody, but would like to get fully engrossed in love with him, and in the process, become one with himself.
In my life,there have been occasions of my listening to a few such great sayings which were quite short, but have affected the whole of my life amply and have left a permanent mark on it.
After getting seriously hurt by some stone in my way,I would like to face and blame myself for my carelessness, instead of getting angry on the stone.As a matter of fact,I wish to salute the goodness of the stone for remaining quite, even after getting hurt by my pushing it around.It does teach me a good and welcome lesson for being careful while walking on the road.Whenever, I remember such an event later, I do get excited and once again be grateful to the stone.
Keenly observing my writing pen in action,I feel happy, that by its spilled ink, it is able to efficiently write-up and fully express my sayings, emotions and thoughts on the paper’s chest. The pen is unique in the sense that , keeping myself apart, it is writing anything and every thing and is doing so continuously.It’s edge is sharper than that of a sword.It can easily melt the frozenness of the relationship between the lover and the beloved and also can make the crying persons of laugh.My this celebrated pen has been serving as a nice bridge between you and me, and for this, I feel extremely grateful to it.
Happy moments may come to you and meet you here ,there and every where.Do keep searching them all the time

The author invokes us all to pause a little and listen to our inner voice with some concentration . To substantiate it indirectly, he quotes an Urdu couplet which says,”Although there are so many avenues for living an easy life, we ourselves make it more difficult by our controversial deeds.”
There is a water insect , called “jonk”.It is a kind of the parasite who thrives on sucking of blood by sticking very hard on the skin of the animals. It is well known that although all the pathways on the land , viz ,Rajpaths ;ways for driving bullock carts ; narrow lanes, etc , are mostly not straight but do have bumps and bends, the water pathways are always smooth and straight.The “ jonk” does not move straight even in this water. Manthra, a character In Ramayan , is exactly like that There is no other character like heron Ram Charit manas.She was just a maid in the palace , but her evil character had toys
[19/11, 6:05 pm] P K Mathur: totally rattled the bearings of the powerful empire. By her evil counseland actions, she could collect lots of ugly material , conducive for the break-up of the various well nit units of the extemely ideal family. However, there is one another aspect of this entire episode. Highly knowledgeable Maharani Kaikeyi did believe Manthra’s sayings fully without questioning her. Although, Maharani Kaikayi’s character has been described to betotally full of several wonderful traits such as motherly love and affection, sacrifice, diplomacy, religious policy and wisdom etc , despite that, she became part and parcel of Manthra’sevil illusion and simply behaved like her pawn.
[19/11, 6:33 pm] P K Mathur: If our innerself(“man”) and wisdom are not in the same phase, then the above episode is possible to happen.Our difficult innerself(“man”) always goes along with the boundary less world of our imaginations ; possibilities and emotions . Just like the charioted controls the horses with the help of the belt , the same way, our wisdom does provide strength and direction to the innerself(“ man”) through the medium of arguments ; analysis ; deduction and selection. In the popular daily spoken language, this is termed as the use of the wisdom and knowledge in our routine activities .
[19/11, 6:54 pm] P K Mathur: Both the good and evil souls reside inside our this human body. All the evils are the blast ammunitions but they get the outside fire only through the “ surries”(informers). It is often said that every fire cracker has a “surry”(infomer) within and the fire reaches the explosive inside the cracker only through it. Then only , the cracker explodes
[19/11, 7:27 pm] P K Mathur: Remove the extra word’toys’ ; Seperate the words‘ counsel’ ‘and’ ;
Seperate ‘ Manthra’s ‘ and ‘ evil’ ;boundaryless ; charioter

In the present write-up, the author talks about the face change over amongst the inner and outer worlds and tries to establish that our outer world has the inherent capacity of totally changing our inner world.
Some children were playing in the ground of the vacant agricultural fields in a village with lots of natural pleasure and fun and also without any worries.A bullock cart full with various drama players from a nearby village drama unit passed through that place , dropping some baggage
from the cart on the way. After the cart went away, the children saw that the dropped baggage contained a head gear( Mukut) , a gada a few swords and some bows and arrows. After the receipt of these dropped baggage items by chance, the children distributed them amongst themselves as per their individual choices. Since then, there was a total change over in the children’s games. One child wore the head gear and very quickly got converted into a king from a simple village child. The children , who were having the rubber and cloth balls in their hands , discarded them and now carried arrows. Swords and gada in their hands. Till now, they were feeling happy and getting excited by the toys with which
they used to play. Now , the total change was noticed as per the particular baggage that was lifted by a particular child
The various ammunition items mentioned above as per their individual identity, properties and deeds could establish their effective control over the children. Quickly within moments, children’s nature changed completely.

[21/11, 2:59 pm] P K Mathur: Our outer world can simply change our inner world .It can change our nature, way of life and even the personality In the beginning, the outer environment changes the inner one, then our innerself starts liking all over us , that environment only.We have often heard a story about a group of jackals lifting a human child from a village and rearing him up with them in the forest.When the child grew up, he had a word of two letters’hu hu’ in the vocabulary of his spoken language. He used to walk with all his four hands and legs like the jackals.It means that the outer world went inside and the inner one changed itself accordingly and became very similar to the outer world.
It is a saying that with whomsoever the iron is kept , it does adopt to the work similar to that of the individual
“ Ek Loha Pooja main rakhat ek ghar badhik Paro”
Put”s” in place of “S” in sword ; Put full stop afterparticular child ; Remove extra gear(“ mukut ; Put hu hu nearer to ach other ; Shorten the space between the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs
