you are not your job
you are not how much money you have in the bank
you are not the car you drive
you are not the contents of your wallet
you are the all-singing,all dancing crap of the world
The things you own end up owning you
we are consumers. we are the byproducts of a lifestyle obsession
you have to consider the possibility that god doesn’t like you
He never wanted you. In all probability he hates you. It’s not the worst thing that could happen.
without pain and without sacrifice we would have nothing
our fathers were our models for god
If our fathers bailed, what does that tell you about god?
We are god’s unwanted children? so be it?
First you have to give up, then, you have to know, not fear that someday you are gonna die
you wanna make an omelete you gotta break some eggs
sticking feathers up your butt doesnot make you a chicken
Reject the basic assumption of civilisation especially the importance of material possession
I say never be complete, I say stop being perfect, I say let’s evolve
Let the chip fall where they may
Hitting bottom isn’t a weakend retreat
Stop trying to control everything and just let go
If for any reason you dont want to change yourself then you have to follow these rules

After typing a long list of quotes of tyler durden it’s a fact to know for the readers that the author has not seen the movie. Nevertheless, he wants to embrace the thought by giving some deep insight.
There is a long list of motivational stories and one recent video I came across seems to be made by a youngster. Though this movie has its origin around 1999, it’s gaining more attraction these days. The movie talks about discontent lifestyle but the world over capitalism is a proven model of improving one’s life. This contrary has to be addressed with a prevailing common sense.
Let’s accept the fact that the world is turning to be more materialistic. Government’s and other bigger corporations are projecting as a growth for their own self-interest. When it comes to aligning with the reality an individual could not able to get convinced about such growth facts and figures.
On the one hand, the modern generation is believing that material achievement is the real growth, on the other other hand aspirations are lying without life. Such movies are a guide to finding their own self as they say art is long life is short. This movie might not have gained much traction when it got released but it is affecting every individual’s thought process now. It helps them to introspect what one wants really in their lifetime?
Having born from the western school of philosophy the film itself is a critique of its own society’s limitation. Though the media eyelashes every product in the developed world as hunky-dory, it’s not the case. It’s quite common that people got stuck in the world of consumerism. So is the movie that says about it. But embracing against such thoughts is going against nature. Afterall it shows the inner drive for many people craving towards money.
To be cautious, it is not an ideological piece of article to speak for and against any school of thoughts. But an attempt to see the world in its own eyes without imposing any extra thought of our own.

There was a famous god in Hindu mythology named Vishnu. One day the god was in deep sleep. Two evil men were born from his two ears sanga and manga. By deriving the power from the god himself, these evil men become the pride of their birth.
They were making life miserable for all those living on the planet. Those great leaders ruling the planet find it very difficult to control these men. The supreme leader of the planet named Indira later understood that these men cannot be controlled as they were the byproduct of the great lord.
So the group of members representing the whole world went to the lord to control the evilness of these men sanga and manga. They also told lord Vishnu how their evilness has grown wild recent days.
Lord came to their rescue to control the wild behavior of these men. But with a great humility lord approached these men, not with the intention to fight. On the contrary, make them understand that their actions are bringing chaos for the common man in the streets.
They were towering personalities with their own power. They become the talking point of the whole world and forget their beginning of humbleness as the lord granted access to their life birth. So they rejected the offer of the lord by embarrassing him in front of the crowd.
Considering the devastation done by them and without getting humiliated lord politely asked them to get them ready for the war. The fight witnessed a devastating blow to evilness as these men’s energy was draining like smartphones battery. On the other hand lord’s power were also getting reduced but simplicity and humbleness make him withstand like Nokia 1100 battery life.
Finally, as the battle was nearing to the end, without able to stand the strength of the lord, they wished to leave them free. Moreover, they also ask the privilege of safeguarding the god in front of Vaikuntha which was the residing place of the lord.
They went on to say that there was much evilness on the planet. Those seeking rescue from such worldly acts must be shown the door to reach him without any hassle. It enables them to renounce their acts for the larger good of humanity. Considering their humility the lord offered salvation for both the lives. These men also got the privilege to open the door for the future lives seeking the place of sanity.
Modern science reveals that living life is experiencing the deeper senses of the world. It is the sheer ignorance of humans they regard themselves as superior to others. The story stands to witness the fact that those powers are being bogged down by witty acts. It is not a morality lecture to the readers for wanting to do the right thing in life. But with limited knowledge, one stands to gain superiority over others is sheer ignorance.
That’s where lords character of remaining humble even at the time of asking for war fits in. Without knowing the power of the opposition, the evil loving person started to mock. This shows the sheer ignorance of the world being built in a materialistic fundamental.

Tagore as educationist:
The reason for taking Tagore as an example for this piece of the article lies on the following features:
- International accolade for his work on Gitanjali.
- His attempts on Cultural fusion of west and east
- Multitalented – musician, writer, philosopher, educationist
- Knowledge about Indian philosophy, Sanskrit, and astronomy – studies anatomy, history, geography, and mathematics literature, drawing
- A naturalist – Development of mind through activities in natural surroundings.
This article believes that its heading “ascetic” is more suitable to portray Tagore, for leading a simple lifestyle despite being economically rich. Rabindranath was the youngest son of his 14 member family. His elder brothers went on to become professionals like doctor, engineers and even clearing British ruled civil service exam that is considered prestigious at that point of time. But he got inspired by one of his other brother who was a musician, composer, and playwright. His immediate sister slightly older than him become a novelist. Thus Tagore had enough inspiration in his own life to choose a career of his own without much dependent on formal schooling.
He learned from his brothers who tutored and physically conditioned him to swim the Ganges or trek through hills, he also learned gymnastics while practicing judo and wrestling. His father made him study and gain knowledge in drawing, anatomy, geography, and history, literature, mathematics, Sanskrit and English, though remained his least favorite subject. He held a strong view that proper teaching does not explain things, thereby fails to embrace curiosity.
So he was largely educated at home and although at 17 he was sent to England for formal schooling, he did not finish his studies there and returned back. But he got exposed to European culture marking which his return witnessed several books of poetry. To date, this stands best-known poems many written in verses of Bengali. The maturity of writing is being witnessed, with the way of handling various political and social issues. Most of his short stories examine “humble lives and their small miseries”.
Despite his strong opinion against formal schooling, he founded an experimental school named Vishva Bharati which means the communion of the world with India. This is still unique compared to other universities in the country. The classes are still held in open under the shade of mango trees and students, teachers are encouraged to travel by cycles. This stands to follow the ideals of the founder Tagore who believed classrooms within four walls conditioned the minds leaving behind less scope for exploration.
So, individual development being integral, every child becomes more important than any books or educational regulations. He believed all the student’s intelligence are the same but the time for blossoming differs. The idea of burdening a child with the books has to be transitioned to learn through self-experience. Thereby leading a life of knowledge in earning a livelihood.
Therefore the admiration of bringing the ideals along with the world makes Tagore build an empire of his own. This has been possible by practicing ascetic lifestyle to create one’s way. Such great ideals are still living in the form of a university created by him. Only very few are those that leave behind such legacies. Tagore is the one to be noted for his sheer efforts to seek for the greatness to humanity.
