Master Bruce Lee : Happy Birthday. Be Limitless.

Many years have passed. My one friend asked me to help him on a project to write about one of greatest personalities/hero from the world of Martial Arts to be presented on his birth anniversary 27th November. That time I only knew that Bruce Lee was a legendary film start of Action Movies. There was no internet like today, I visited Sunday’s Darya Ganj Book Market and Connaught place to get some books where I could find some info about Bruce Lee also known as Little Dragon. Fortunately, I got Tao of Jeet Kune Do with few martial arts and sports magazines including few editions of Black Belt. Read about his style, his journey as an actor and fighter, his philosophy.

He died at just the age of 33. But what he did and gave to world in his short life, can’t be an act of normal or ordinary human. If He would be an Indian, People worshipped him as an incarnation of some divine power.

It took about a week and almost 60 pages article. When I handed over to that friend, He was amazed. As he was expecting 3 or 4 pages. And my reply was, “I wrote in brief and included only few important events from his life, otherwise even 500 pages won’t be enough to describe Bruce Lee.” But if today, I have to re-write about his life. I can explain in one word – “Limitless”.

These are only limits which stop humans to live its best life, no matter it is personal, social, religious, spiritual, or professional part of life.

I met many people in life living in the cage of self-imposed limits. That will marry only with a boy/girl from a particular area/caste/business/job/profession (some with even size of nose/eyebrows/hair style/Food Habits etc) and could not find a good match with these limits. Or will work only in a particular city/state/industry/role and when they find such job, sooner or later gets frustrated as can’t get job satisfaction.

This is only about mind set.

That’s why Bruce Lee invented JKD while there were already so many forms of Martial Arts existed. He wanted to break all limits, e.g. When a Karate student practice Kata, he follow a particular pattern assuming (attacking) move of his opponent and practice how he would defend. But in real life situations, especially street fights no assumption works, only very experienced Masters could handle such situations, So he kept JKD free from all such Rules/Boundaries.

Remembering the great Master on his birth anniversary. May we follow his path of Limitlessness. Because Limits are only our Believes. We can’t do anything only if We believe, We can’t do, otherwise Nothing is Impossible. Thanks.

GST : List of E-Brochures - updated as on November 2022 by CBIC

 CBIC has recently updated its knowledge booklets about GST. Explained all important and relevant provisions of GST in Simple Terms to have better understanding of GST.  Good Job by CBIC. You can find all these Brochures on CBIC Website.

 

Link: https://www.cbic.gov.in/htdocs-cbec/gst/e-brochures-gst

One more change on GST Portal, Now sharing all Content in very systematic manner. Earlier there were Act, Rules etc can be downloaded in .PDF File format only. But now not only they have updated chapter/section wise but also given the reference link of related rules to that section in section itself similar to Income Tax. One more thing, that I like, a separate category for Forms, with Explanations e.g. they took 31 pages just to explain E-/Invoice in GST. Have explained Terms like B2B, B2C, SEZWP, SEZWOP, EXPWP, EXPWOP, Mandatory and Optional Fields etc.

Many Tax Practitioners fill/file Various forms directly on GST Portal. For Experienced they have expertise, but for someone new in the field, I’ll suggest, first download copy of the form/return from the Website, Analyse the same and fill manually, before going to portal straightway.

Books Everyone Must Read: Book Nineteenth and Twentieth

Book: Walking with Nanak (19) and Ek Onkar Satnam (20)

Author: Haroon Khalid (19) and Osho (20)

 

First Heartiest Congratulations on the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Sahib Ji to Everyone.

 

I was thinking about what to post on this auspicious occasion. A Story from Guru Ji’s Life, Shabad or Extract from Sacred Text he brought to the World. (Dhur ki Bani). Then thought of recommending two best books related to Guru Sahib came in mind, I ever read.

 

Whenever God incarnates in human form, there is always a purpose, to show the right path of life to the creatures. But Most People missed the message because they could not understand the teachings. For that You must see them as human when Almighty God appears in Human Form. As it is said Only Nandi could understand pain of Lord Shiva, He served him as his Master and not just God. Similarly, If We study life of Lord Rama and Krishna as omniscient omnipotent omnipresent God, We’ll never realize the Sufferings and Pain, they had to face while they lived in Human Form, and the way how one should lead and live his life, the message God wanted to convey to the Mortal World. Lord Rama did not come to just kill the Ravana, He could kill him with just a thought, but to show, How a Son, Husband, Disciple, Father, Brother or King Should be. How to maintain balance in different roles. How to accept the will of God accepting Pain and Pleasures alike in Life.

 

First Book (Walking with Nanak), I read few years back on Kindle. Basically, it was about Gurudwaras in Pakistan. But when you read, you will feel you are on a spiritual journey with a very knowledgeable guide, who is narrating all stories about Baba Nanak related to Gurudwara/s. It is not about Nanak Dev Ji who is God Thyself, but One who is Son, Father, Disciple, Friend, Husband, Brother, Accountant, Storekeeper, Farmer, Wanderer, Poet, Musician, and the Guru. Author will take you in that era like a time machine and you will become the part of that World, the World, you would never wish to return, a journey, you will wish never to end.

 

Second Book is about Japji Sahib, The First message to the World as Gurbani, The Words of Almighty God. The mistake most of us do in our life is reading or reciting Mantras or Gurbani without understanding the true meaning. This is one of the best books ever written by Osho. He described each line in such a detail, Will take you on next level of Spiritualism. Osho is known as best storyteller, not to entertain you, but to enlighten you. You won’t be the same person, if you read, understand and implement the lessons in your Life. It will transform your life forever.

 

Wishing You all once again, Happy Gurupurab. May We Follow the Guidance and Path Shown by Guru Nanak Dev Sahib Ji in our Lives. Thanks.
