In the same way, human being from time to time needs renovation of the self. The renovation of the self is a call to build the new self on the old self. In other words, it is being modern at the same time being faithful to tradition. The renovation also calls for destroying what distances the self from being human and put on the self that makes self a Human Being.

Philosophy of Renovation
Urgent and Important
Human life is characterized by freedom for choice and decision. Every human being out of his/her freedom chooses to be such and such. Human being in order to become an authentic and genuine being, and to become a person of responsibility, carries out different activities. These activities, when carried out with diligence manifest who a person is.
The activities of human beings are of two fold: the Urgent and the important activities. Most often, human beings carry out what is urgent and forget to carry out what is important. It is because of the human incapacity to distinguish that, what is urgent is may not be important and that what is important is urgent.
URGENT | IMPORTANT |
Needs attention but not important | To be attended and are urgent |
They are of Value | They are of Full Value |
Ex: Relaxation due to heavy mental work | Ex: To appear for examination |
Recharge with Prayer
The life of present day human being is characterized by work, work, and work. The sole purpose of work is to earn money and money whether it is to look after family, education of children, and whatever. This attitude of ‘always work’ gives rise to stress, boredom and especially to monotony. In order to relax the busy life and the mind, each human being needs to turn to God to recharge him/her self. To be an effective worker in the corporate world, it is necessary to recharge oneself with prayer. All the great people such as Jesus Christ, Buddha, Mohammad from time to time spend qualitative time with God and recharged themselves for the effective ministry.
It is good to remember that, “the more time with God, the more charged we will become, the less time with God, the charged we will be.”
Unknown Love
As train journey started, I began a conversation with the old lady. In course of our conversation, I came to know her fully. I was able to notice in her face a certain amount fatigue and tiredness. As she was unable to sleep on upper berth, I told her with courtesy to occupy my berth. Soon, she began sleeping. Even before I gave berth to her, she was so loving, caring and concerning about my journey. She immediately made me to remember my own mother. Till her destination, she continued to pour her love and concern on me.
What else is greater than that someone made you to remember your own mother!!!!!!!!!
God’s Love
I am a student of Philosophy. As part of my academic requirement, I am supposed to write a dissertation. For my dissertation, I chose a French Philosopher whose name is Jacques Derrida. The movie on ‘Derrida’ was released in 2003. So, I was desperately searching for this movie in Indian Market. But all my effort was in vain.
While I was in Hyderabad for my holidays, I happened to meet a person whom God had sent to fulfill my desire of obtaining the movie. Immediately, I requested her to get the movie. She readily and willing accepted. At that moment of her ‘Yes’, I was able to presume that I will surely obtain the movie. To my surprise and shock, I got it…
I believe that love of God is manifested in variety of ways, which are unknown, but I firmly believe, his manifestation of love is already planned. It is only executed by right people, at the right time and at the right place. Is not this a sign of God’s love through persons?
Creative Leaving
Creative Life flows from the heart of human being. The pre-requisite for this is to live life by Conscience rather than by mind. It is not an easy task but it is a task that involves risk, challenge and hard work. But it is for sure leads you to happiness all life long.
Creative living calls for living imaginatively, originally and innovatively inventing the life situations every time a new. It is not taking side with the world but choosing a side that the world can follow. For example: The world goes by the logic of loving those who love you. But the logic of creative living person should choose to love even those who don’t love him. It is committing oneself to an action that nobody dares to do. It is the KICK for Creative Leaving. In other words, the risk and challenge give Kick to creative leaving.
