Just ONE Homescreen on Smartphone

By
In this smartphone age and virtual world of smartphone apps, is it worth keeping tens of screens to scroll through?

As a change you can try using just one smartphone screen for all your apps.

Look at the screenshot on my Poco F1 smartphone. This comes from my earlier experience of using Windows Phones where the tiles concept was making it possible to use folders so creatively without missing a notification.

If possible on Windows 10, why is it not possible on Android?

Now that Android has matured enough and is a robust OS, Smartphones look definitely better and do have many productivity features built-in.

However, that does not prevent you to have your own say about how exactly you want your smartphone.

You can just have one smartphone screen for all most used apps and you can use, if needed, further more screens for effectively utilising widgets.

Role of Friends in Life.

By
Image
The meaning and nature of friendship changes with the stages of life.  In real life, friendship does not remain the same throughout life. As a man grows, circumstances, ego, jealousy, misunderstandings, and economic differences slowly test relationships.  Many friends come close for some time and later move away.  This is natural reality of life.  Below is a more realistic view of friendship through the stages of life. 1. Age 4-6: At this age, friends are playmates. A child thinks a friend is someone who shares toys, plays games, and spends time together. Friendship is innocent and temporary.  If a quarrel happens, it is forgotten quickly.  2. Age 7-15: Friends become school companions. Children start forming small groups.  Friendship is based on studying together, playing sports, and common interests. Loyalty begins to develop, but it is still strongly influenced by surroundings.  3. Age 16-30: This is the period of mul...

Coffee Making with Caffettiera

By
The Italian Coffee pot Caffettiera and its Constructional or design features are well described in the previous articles. Coffee making with Caffettiera is much easier if one understands its constructional features and there is no special method of making coffee using this appliance, but the only difference that we find in Coffee making with Caffettiera is by the way the coffee is made in contrast to the other common methods of making coffee. Generally, as the whole world knows, the way or the principle involved in ordinary coffee making involves three steps. First we take sufficient amount of coffee powder in a vessel, and add water to it. We heat the vessel until coffee is well boiled and gives a good aroma. Then we separate the solid particles from these solution or liquid by filtering it with a sieve or a cloth. We can directly consume the coffee made by adding sugar or milk according to our taste. A little variety can be a conventional filter coffee, still more com...

Simplicity leads to Real Life as defined in Sahaj Marg

By
Simplicity reveals the real state of a man. To live in tune with Nature is simplicity. It is not as easy as we think so. Man has gathered ' un-naturality' (artificiality) around him in the name of day by day evolution. Some articles which we treat them this year as unnecessary and luxuries have become necessities for the next year. Costly dresses like professional suiting, ornaments, TVs, Internet, Car etc., which we looked as luxurious in the yesteryears, have now became necessary things.  Now it became difficult to decide which is luxury and which is the simple need. The economical status of a man may decide which the luxury is, and which the simple need is. Man has strayed away a long distance from simplicity. We are now in a stage of comparative simplicity .  We know the result of leading luxurious life crossing our earning capacity. We will be drowned in debts. We feel self reproach when once leading a luxurious life have fallen down to lead a pathetic life...

Realisation of the Truth or God.

By
In the Vedic and Upanishadic tradition, Saksatkara, the direct realisation of Truth or God, is not described as an external vision but as an inner awakening of one's true Self (Atman) — a state in which the seeker directly experiences Reality without doubt. Saksatkara comes through inner purification, meditation and grace, not mere study. According to Vedic wisdom, saksatkara is direct experience, not belief.  It is a permanent inner transformation, not a passing vision, and it brings deep peace, fearlessness, detachment, and universal love. In other words, it is experiencing your true Self as one with Brahman, not imagination, not emotion, but clear inner seeing.  Brihadaranyaka Upanishad teaches that Brahman cannot be limited.  Anything we can see, think, or describe is limited. But Brahman is infinite and beyond all qualities.  So, the sages say 'not the body, not the mind, not the senses and not even thoughts. "Neti, Neti" removes all wrong identifications. ...

The Real Way of Life as defined by Sahaj Marg

By
If you are a follower of Sahaj Marg , you might know very well what Mahatma Sri Ramachandraji Maharaj says about the Way of Life . However for the first time readers/visitors, here is the summary of Babuji's spiritual wisdom . The end of 'Religion' is the beginning of 'Spirituality', the end of 'Spirituality' is the beginning of 'Reality' and the end of 'Reality' is the 'Real Bliss'. When that too is gone we have reached the 'Destination'. That is it. That is Sahaj Marg and Babuji's great and priceless message summarized for you! What we can understand from the above sentences is that one has to evolve step by step from the stages of Religion, Spirituality, Reality and Bliss and further  on to the real goal of life i.e., mergence with the Ultimate  losing total individuality.  For this one need not leave his regular way of life.  Only thing one has to do is to regularize one's way of life.

What is Bliss(Happiness-Ananda) and how to achieve it?

By
Image
Bliss is a state of complete happiness or joy. It is real happiness, undisturbed joy, or contentment. It is a state of unity, never tedious, always new, broad and infinite. It is an eternal, forever unchanging reality that prevailed in the Universe. Hindu scriptures describe Brahman as Ananda(pure bliss) itself. In the materialistic world happiness-ananda is a joyful state attained through the fulfillment of desires or acquiring some material gains. Possessing wealth and making use of it, having good health without diseases, possessing good educational qualifications, achieving good jobs, having a good family, etc., are examples of bliss-ananda in the materialistic world. It is not always possible to maintain positive values in the home of tolerance, sharing, respect and kindness. If one has a wish to possess a big house or landed property and even after possessing it after some hard work, the happiness will last only for a few days. After which once again unhappiness and d...

Follow Sanatana Dharma (Righteousness) in Life

By
Image
Dharma is a Sanskrit word having different meanings being used according to the situation. It is also loosely translated as 'faith' which is not correct. Faith is based on belief, Dharma is based on Truth. At times it is used in the sense of justice and in other senses it is used as a donation. By righteous character man becomes Godly otherwise the same man becomes a devil. Dharma can be interpreted in many ways, but it basically means the 'true and natural' property. And when it is used to express eternal laws of this Universe that govern this Nature that includes nanoparticles, microbes to planets, ecosystems, vast galaxies, etc., and when it refers to the unchangeable perfect laws of Karma which form the basis of all causes and effects in this world, the wise sages of India called this Dharma as 'Sanatana Dharma (Sanātana Dharma)' which means 'the eternal laws of righteousness. Dharma is the moral law, which guides one's...

Living in the present.

By
Living in the  present moment   is not just a psychological trick; it is the essence   of spiritual life according to Hindu scriptures. The Rishis, the Bhagavad Gita, and even the Upanishads all emphasise this as the path to peace, clarity, and realisation of the Self. We must live in the present.  The past is dead, the future unborn. Only the present is real.  He who lives in the present lives in Reality.  In other words, living in the present means training your attention to rest on what’s happening here and now — your breath, sensations, surroundings, or activity — instead of being caught up in past regrets or future worries. Mindfulness is the most effective way to cultivate this awareness. It is the art of touching life deeply in each moment and  involves a moment-to-moment awareness that is often cultivated through meditation but can also be integrated into everyday activities.  The goal is to observe experiences without gett ing overwhelmed...

What is Gratitude in human values?

By
Gratitude, thankfulness, or gratefulness is a feeling of appreciation (or similar positive response) by a recipient of another's kindness.  We express gratitude when someone shows kindness, provides help, gives a gift, or offers encouragement. Expressing thanks is also appropriate for both big and small gestures, as it strengthens relationships and creates positive feelings.  It is beneficial to show gratitude whenever you genuinely feel it, as this makes interactions more meaningful and strengthens your connection with others. In spirituality, gratitude shifts towards a deeper recognition of life's interconnectedness, such as meditating on the gift of breath, the universe's order, or inner peace as expressions of divine presence. Practices include affirmations such as "I am grateful for this moment" during breathwork or reflecting on personal growth as unseen blessings, aligning with present-moment awareness from traditions like Hindu philosophy. This form trans...
