Quality through Self representation-
I always wonder with the concept of Quality and I always get excited with Self Representation! At times, society...people around us influence in a wrong manner and it is a habit that gets extended knowingly or unknowingly!
People have decided few protocols and they also follow ethics! They also have their SOPs which they preach and practice! About practicing I do not know but about preaching they are far ahead of everything! For the Saint Tukaram Maharaj the self representation for him was to continue chanting at every step with full taste! For legendary freedom fighter Savarkar had no choice for the place but for him inner core and its value which is getting portrayed by utilizing self potential to the fullest; used to be precious and I think these freedom fighters had their own self representation by aiming things and focusing them with soulful passion!
In the current times, we are being taught to focus on external appearance, its ethics/protocols and even SOPs where if someone goes wrong there then his or her qualities/potentials/abilities seem like in vain and then his or her self representation collapses to a greater extent...his or her confidence deteriorates! Quality has a greater role and I think at the very first instance quality is nothing but following self discipline which many people lack and keep on giving excuses with several reasons!
Self representation has an essence of that peculiar moment to catch to flourish in the right fashion but society has conceived the same with a false outlook where everything goes wrong! I always feel that being the smallest ever particle of the society many times I may have done something wrong which is against the natural values of being human but ultimately for everything there is a cause and effect. If the beggar does some fabulous presentation of his or her art it is immediately appreciated but we do not think that the concept of beggar has been originated by the human himself, right? And then why to categorize in that scenario between the common man and the beggar???? Isn't it a contradiction?
At times, I listen to the people advising someone ,"hey why are you coming down from the top level which you have achieved? Be there ....now your status has a different flavor!" But then in such cases do you think your self representation will have the highest quality essence where true passion gets depicted? I analyse that once that so called celebrity status is being given to someone then the audience defines his or her existence differently and then his or her Ego gets that boost or push to get activated in an adverse manner where things start going ruthlessly...arrogance increases....but self representation remains on high in disguise!
The society has also misrepresented another concept severely and i.e. once anyone becomes the celebrity....and when he or she does some kind act for anyone who is supposed to be down trodden or poor or the beggar....then their image gets promoted unnecessarily. I feel charity is a very natural act and it can be performed by even a poor man but do we look into it likewise? The same is the case with his or her quality in self representation where it disappears in due course because of their status!
At the outset I humanly feel that this quality and self representation through that will get justice in the society when the society will change its mirror to look at the said concept not for the timebeing but forever!
Salute to everyone's unconditional self representation full of quality!
