Footprints to leave

Yesterday I saw your presentation on Digital Footprint and how important it is in current days to have a strong digital footprint. You are correct, as today's world has become more brand building and advertising. No one really cares about what we do and reward us for what we truly do and who we truly are. So go ahead and get a strong digital footprint created for yourself for the world to recognize you. You know the means and ways to do that also, as you superbly articulated in your presentation.

But I am now going to tell you about the other footprints that are important for you and means and ways to create them.

Dharmic Footprint : How much you know about our Dharma and what are the various activities you have done to grow the Dharma in this world. You are born for a purpose in this world. The family you came into follow certain principles and have taught you how to lead a dharmic life. This was transferred to you not directly from your parents, but in fact from you forefathers through millions of years, as the Dharma we follow is so old. It has bean treasured by so many generations and they have followed, practiced it and have carefully transferred it to me. I being a dutiful girl tried to follow as much and have educated you about the same. It is now your duty to follow them and not only follow, but practice and also make sure your children also get the same treasure that you got without a single drop being wasted. If you do that successfully it the respect you show to the so many generations who have preserved it.  Otherwise it is a break in the chain that you bring and it is not good.  Just think how you would feel when you organize something and few people do not follow what you are organizing and do it their way. You feel so hurt right. When you feel so hurt for a thing you started just now, just think this whole dharma and practices where started so early in life and kept passing through generations and we have no right to break it. We can, if these had any flaws or shortcomings, but when they are only good, why should we? I know the question going through in your mind. You thing they are mundane and not useful and superstitious, but my child, take the effort to go deep into the subject and understand each and everything that you question, you will find an answer. So start exploring if you think anything I am telling you you feel is wrong. Question and explore, you will get the answers. Following once Dharma is basic and performing activities towards enhancing it and reaching it to many people helps you build a footprint here. So will you start trying from today?

Karmic Footprint: How much good Karma you do in the every second of your life you get. How much you make the people around you happy. how much you share and give others? How much of kind words you speak with others? How much you cherish God and his presence? how much you help the animals and he birds? How much you care for your fellow human beings? How much you contribute to keeping the environment and your surrounding clean? How much you love the children? how much you respect the elders? How much you understand the sufferings of the poor and the ill people and enable them with what you have. How much you understand the arrogance of the few rich and ill behaved and try to correct them with you pleasant words?  Don't think all this Karmic footprint is easy to achieve through social media handles, it is tough to leave a good Karmic footprint and requires lot of hard work. Start trying to build a good solid footprint from today as time and tide waits for none.
