IF YOU KEEP DOING WHATEVER YOU HAVE
BEEN DOING, YOU WILL KEEP GETTING
WHATEVER YOU HAVE BEEN GETTING.

IF YOU KEEP DOING WHATEVER OTHERS

ARE DOING, YOU WILL KEEP GETTING
WHATEVER OTHERS ARE GETTING.
 ANYTHING WORTH DOING
IS
WORTH DOING WELL
IT IS NOT SENIORITY THAT DEFINES A PROFESSION;
IT IS SINCERITY THAT DEFINES A PROFESSIONAL.

A GREAT TEACHER INSPIRES.

A GOOD TEACHER INSTILS.
AN AVERAGE TEACHER EXPLAINS.
A POOR TEACHER COMPLAINS.
WHATEVER QUALITIES THAT
YOU EXPECT IN STUDENTS,

- ENSURE AT FIRST THAT -

YOU HAVE THOSE QUALITIES

WITHIN YOU.

IF YOU DON’T HAVE THEM,

THEN DEVELOP THEM.
EACH BRANCH OF ENGINEERING HAS
ITS OWN CULTURE.

ECE IS DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHER

BRANCHES.

Electronics: Devices and circuits

are not visible.
Communication: Audio & radio signals
are not visible.
IN OUTCOME BASED EDUCATION,
STUDENT’S PERFORMANCE
IS MEASURED.

IN THE PRESENT AICTE PAYSCALE,

PROFESSOR’S PERFORMANCE
IS MEASURED.

STUDENTS THINK THAT THE SYSTEM
BELONGS TO THEM.

TEACHERS THINK THAT THE SYSTEM

BELONGS TO THEM.

ADMINISTRATORS THINK THAT THE

SYSTEM BELONGS TO THEM.

IN REALITY, SYSTEM BELONGS TO

WHOM?
IF THE STUDENT SUCCEEDS, STUDENT GETS APPRECIATED.
IF THE STUDENT FAILS, TEACHER GETS BLAMED.
 TEACHERS
With less With more
knowledge knowledge
STUDENTS

With less Troubling Teaching-

knowledge each other learning

With more Classroom is Show-off

knowledge Marketplace always
 IF YOUR STUDENT-FEEDBACK IS BELOW
AVERAGE, THEN THE SYSTEM SUSPECTS
YOUR PERFORMANCE.

IF YOUR STUDENT-FEEDBACK IS ABOVE

EXCELLENCE, THEN THE SYSTEM SUSPECTS
YOUR FOULPLAY.

NO ONE IS BORN AS PERFECT.

BUT NO ONE CAN CHOOSE TO
REMAIN AS IMPERFECT.
 KNOWLEDGE IS MY GOD.

CLASSROOM IS MY TEMPLE.

WORK IS MY WORSHIP.
 My advice to students
• I work hard for earning my salary; you
work hard for earning your marks.
• If I am too much strict, you will not talk; if I
am too much lenient, I cannot talk.
• You don’t have to give respect to me; I
have it for myself; you have it for yourself.
• I am paid to talk, and you are paying to listen; I
am at your service; allow me to serve you better.
• Study well for 4 years, and enjoy the next 40 years; or,
enjoy the 4 years and suffer in the next 40 years.
• It is easy, to be abnormal among the normal; it is
difficult, to be extraordinary among the ordinary.
 WE ALREADY HAVE A SYSTEM IN
PLACE, AND HENCE YOU NEED NOT
CREATE ONE.

JUST ADAPT TO THE EXISTING

SYSTEM.

THE SYSTEM WILL REFINE ITSELF,

AS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS.
 THREE TYPES OF PEOPLE
THOSE WHO THOSE WHO ACT AS THOSE WHO DO
PROFESSION WORK IF THEY WORK NOT WORK

THEY ARE SINCERE

THEY ARE THEY ARE
DEDICATION OUT OF
SINCERE ALWAYS INSINCERE ALWAYS
COMPULSION

THEY ARE WISE THEY BECOME WISE THEY DO NOT

WISDOM BY BIRTH DURING LIFE BECOME WISE

OWNERSHIP AS NO OWNERSHIP, ONLY OWNERSHIP,

CLAIM WELL AS NO LEADERSHIP NO LEADERSHIP
LEADERSHIP

ENCOURAGE KEEP THEM UNDER

REMEDY ELIMINATE THEM
THEM FEAR
 SOLUTIONS CAN BE FOUND FOR
PROBLEMS THAT OCCUR.
SOLUTIONS CANNOT BE FOUND FOR
PROBLEMS THAT ARE CREATED.
TEACHERS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
PROBLEM SOLVERS; BUT SOME OF
THEM BECOME PROBLEM CREATORS.
THE ONLY SOLUTION IS TO
ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM CREATORS
FROM THE SYSTEM.
 - SYNDROMES –
1. OSTRICH SYNDROME
2. MALE DOCTOR SYNDROME
3. TERRORIST SYNDROME
4. JAUNDICE SYNDROME
IF YOU KEEP DOING THE RIGHT
THINGS, NO ONE WILL HARM YOU.
IF YOU KEEP DOING THE WRONG
THINGS, NO ONE WILL SAVE YOU.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE SUBGROUPS
WITHIN THE MAIN GROUP, BASED ON
LANGUAGE, CASTE, RELIGION ETC.

BUT THESE SUBGROUPS HAVE TO BE

SUBSETS OF THE MAIN GROUP.

IF THEY REMAIN ISOLATED, THEN THEY

WILL BECOME DISINTEGRATED.
 DURING PROBATION:
UNDERSTAND THE ORGANIZATION.
AFTER CONFIRMATION:
RESPECT THE ORGANIZATION.

AT TIMES,
MENTIONING
A MISTAKE,
AS A MISTAKE,
IS A MISTAKE.
 YOUNG AGE MIDDLE AGE OLD AGE
CRISIS CRISIS CRISIS

I have to understand I have to change the I have to live in my

the social system social system own system

I do not understand Others do not I do not understand

others understand me myself

What becomes of What is becoming of What has become of

me? me? me?

I want to be with my I want to be with my I want to be with

family friends myself
AT TIMES, WHAT YOUR BOSS THINKS ABOUT YOU
IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOUR
SUBORDINATE THINKS ABOUT YOU.

AT TIMES, WHAT YOUR SUBORDINATE THINKS

ABOUT YOU IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT
YOUR BOSS THINKS ABOUT YOU.

ALL THE TIMES, WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT

YOURSELF IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT
OTHERS THINK ABOUT YOU.
 BY DOING SOMETHING GOOD,
IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS,
AND IF THE EFFECT OF BAD IS MORE THAN THE
EFFECT OF GOOD,
THEN IT IS BETTER
NOT TO DO THAT GOOD THING.

KINDNESS IS OFTEN
MISTAKEN AS WEAKNESS.
WE CANNOT BE KIND TO EVERYONE,
AND AT THE SAME TIME,
WE CANNOT BE CRUEL TO EVERYONE.
 DEMOCRACY VERSUS AUTOCRACY

4 METHODS OF RAJANEETHI

SAMA: ADVICE/SUGGESTION
DANA: OFFERING/COMPENSATION
BHEDA: EXPLOITATION
DANDA: PUNISHMENT
Example: Krishna & Duryodhana
1. To return Indraprastha
2. To offer 5 villages
3. Meeting with Karna
4. Declaring war
Type of health Its purpose Its outcome
Physical health Working ability Easeful body
Mental health Pure memory Peaceful mind
Spiritual health Self realization Useful soul

BODY = Birth Of Divine You

MIND = Move Inward Now Discover

SOUL = Source Of Unconditional Love

LIFE = Living In Further Evolution

The first five
are physical
evolution;
the next five
are mental
evolution.

Moreover,
Buddha is not
a mere name;
it is indicative
of a position.
 IN GENERAL,
MOST OF THE PEOPLE
ARE NEITHER GOOD NOR BAD.
THEY ALL BEHAVE
AS PER THE SITUATION.
REAL GOOD PEOPLE
WILL REMAIN GOOD ALWAYS.
REAL BAD PEOPLE
WILL REMAIN BAD ALWAYS.
MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS
WORLD ARE THE VICTIMS OF
SOCIAL CONDITIONING
IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

THEY LIVE FOR SATISFYING THE EGO,

(EITHER THEIRS OR THAT OF OTHERS)
AND NOT FOR GRATIFYING THE SELF.
THE EIGHT ARROGANCES MEANING
DHANAMADA ARROGANCE OF MONEY
VIDYAMADA ARROGANCE OF KNOWLEDGE
KULAMADA ARROGANCE OF CASTE
ROOPAMADA ARROGANCE OF APPEARANCE
YOUVANAMADA ARROGANCE OF YOUTH
BALAMADA ARROGANCE OF STRENGTH

ADHIKARAMADA ARROGANCE OF POSITION

THE SIX ENEMIES MEANING

KAMA LUST
KRODHA WRATH
LOBHA GREED
MOHA INFATUATION
MADA VANITY
MATHSARA JEALOUSY
 CONFIDENCE VERSUS ARROGANCE

WHY ARROGANCE INCREASES

WITH EVERY YEAR OF EXPERIENCE?

IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE REDUCED

WITH EXPERIENCE BECAUSE,

THE MORE WE KNOW,

THE MORE WE COME TO KNOW
THAT WE DO NOT KNOW.

 80:20 RATIO
80% OF PEOPLE ARE MEDIOCRE,
20% OF PEOPLE ARE GENIUS.
80% OF THE PEOPLE FOLLOW
THE REMAINING 20% OF PEOPLE.

80% OF PEOPLE ARE GOOD,

20% OF PEOPLE ARE BAD.
80% OF THE PROBLEMS ARE
CREATED BY THE 20% OF PEOPLE.
 THE REASONS FOR IGNORANCE

• FORM AND NAME ARE PROVIDED ONLY TO THE BODY,

BY NATURE AND BY PARENTS, RESPECTIVELY.

• BUT EGO IDENTIFIES ITSELF WITH THE FORM AND

NAME, WHICH IS DUE TO NATURAL MAYA.

• IN ITS NORMAL COURSE OF LIFE, THE EGO DOES NOT

PUT EFFORTS TO UNDERSTAND ITS TRUE NATURE.

• THIS IS DUE TO MENTAL CONDITIONING, WHICH IS DUE

TO SOCIAL MAYA.
 AT THE LEVELS OF HUMAN CELLS,
THE VITAMINS ARE A, B, C, D, E & K.

AT THE LEVELS OF HUMAN MINDS,

THE VITAMINS ARE J, L & M.
God created Maya with a divine purpose.
Man started Maya with a mundane purpose.
God’s Maya is the love towards people
(emotions: children, parents, relatives).
Man’s Maya is the love towards things
(thoughts: wealth, status, power).

THEY WANT GOD TO ALWAYS

BESTOW HIS GRACE UPON THEM.
BUT WHY DO THEY DO THINGS
THAT WILL NOT BE LIKED BY HIM?
ALL THAT THEY TELL
IN THEIR JUSTIFICATION
IS SECOND-HAND INFORMATION.
 WHAT IS RIGHT?

WHAT IS WRONG?

WHO DECIDES?

 AT TIMES, WHATEVER I TELL DIRECTLY,
IS UNDERSTOOD BY DIFFERENT PEOPLE
DIFFERENTLY.

THIS MEANS THAT, PEOPLE TRY TO

UNDERSTAND THE FACTS AS PER THEIR
LIKING OR DISLIKING.

THIS IS AGAINST THE SPIRIT OF THE

THE TEAM AND THE TRAINING.
 ! ASSUME !

 THREE STAGES OF SUCCESS
Stage Phase Effort Process
Initial Exciting Daring Learning
Middle Testing Desperate Practicing
Final Perfecting Determined Training

ATTITUDE SKILL

KNOWLEDGE
 LAW OF KARMA
LESSONS ARE REPEATED
UNTIL
LESSONS ARE LEARNT.
YOU CAN JUDGE OTHERS ONLY AFTER YOU
HAVE FINISHED JUDGING YOURSELF.
IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF THE SECOND,
THEN DON’T GET INVOLVED IN THE FIRST.
WHEN THE BODY DIES, NOTHING CAN
BE TAKEN ALONG, AND HENCE, YOU
NEED NOT TAKE THIS LIFE VERY
SERIOUSLY.

WHEN THE BODY DIES, THE IMPRINTS

OF ACTIONS REMAIN, AND HENCE, YOU
HAVE TO TAKE THIS LIFE VERY
SERIOUSLY.

Upper My last year’s turnover was that particular figure.

My this year’s turnover is being calculated now.
class How should I increase my next year’s turnover further?

Spiritual My last life’s memories have come with me to this life.

My present life is filled with the added new memories.

 AVIDYA : NOT KNOWING WHAT IS TO BE REALLY KNOWN.
ADHYASA : MISTAKING THE KNOWN ONE AS THE REAL ONE.
UPADHI : TREATING THE HIGHER ONE AT THE LOWER LEVEL.

THE CONSCIOUSNESS BECOMES ENERGY,

AND HENCE THE CAUSATION CAUSES
SPACE AND TIME SIMULTANEOUSLY.
IN DIFFERENT FREQUENCIES,
IT BECOMES DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATTER,
FINALLY GIVING RISE TO DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF ORGANISMS –

0-sensed cells, 1-sensed plants, 2-sensed worms, 3-sensed

fishes, 4-sensed insects & snakes, 5-sensed reptiles & birds &
mammals, and the intelligent & intellectual humans.

 WE HAVE TWO EARS AND ONE MOUTH.
THIS MEANS THAT WE HAVE TO LISTEN
FOR DOUBLE AMOUNT THAN
THAT WHICH WE TALK.

MANY TIMES, WHEN I TRY TO TELL SOME

GOOD THINGS, PEOPLE INTERRUPT MY
SPEECH WITH THEIR TALKS, AND I END UP
BECOMING SILENT.

DEFINITELY, I AM NOT THE LOSER.

AND THAT IS WHY I TEACH.
