Examples, use of "sense of Discrimination"

 Examples, use of Discrimination 



“I ain't no_good “( indiscriminate use of english 😜), at teaching “how to use the sense-of-discrimination at its best. Only a Guru can teach! I am only an idiot 😭 


Example 1). Accidental use.

( To regale my readers this one)

Movie villain ( Ajit) refers to himself as “Loyen”, desi accent for Lion.

A fellow leaves a ‘hint’ while dying(“who is the culprit for my death”), which the hero reads it as “NO 17”! πŸ˜³πŸ€”πŸ€”.

Clueless “what can number seventeen means???”


Then a scene.

Villain throws a lavish party.

His name “LION” is displayed in a rotating neon_sign.

Hero is watching ( blank mind, hence ‘intellect’ got a golden opporChutney to function 😜).

That ‘LION’  got_seen as ‘NOI7’ when rotating neon disc turned upside down, each time🀣🀣 ( hero exclaims “Eureka” this villain did it!!!) exampull of accidentally using discrimination.


(Real life ‘loyen’. A school mate wrote to me today. He jointly organised a blood_donation at Hyderabad. 100 donors came. He is a member of “Lion's club”πŸ™. A “Loyen”, desi word. I wrote “100 lives going to be saved”.  Sense of Discrimination about “what best can I do with my leisure, post retirement?” . a Loyen/lion contributes for blood donation πŸ™. )


Example 2) CONSCIOUSLY using it:

CopyPaste ( quote)

Kabir, a mystic poet in 15th century India, wrote in one of his couplets (in Hindi),


"Guru Govind dou khade, kaake laagoon paye

Balihari guru aapki, Govind diyo milaye."


Translated:

I face both God and my guru. Whom should I bow to first?

I first bow to my guru because he's the one who showed me the path to God.

(Unquote)

God is superior to guru, yet…???(how to use deeper sense of Discrimination, to bow firstly to the “vital” source of enlightenment?)


Example 3) absence of ABILITY to use “already available sense_of_discrimination”

( Again, a CopyPaste of a famous story)

ΰ€°ाΰ€œा ΰ€”ΰ€° ΰ€°ंΰ€• (Prince and the pauper)

The pauper, exchanging his role with a prince who looks EXACTLY like him…..

“finds” the best use for that heavy_metal_clad ‘royal seal’ …..to be good for this purpose only : “cracking nuts” πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚πŸ€£πŸ€£.

He couldn't distinguish it as “royal seal” to issue a royal Charter/command!😳

Ignorance, looks like innocence here( if readers can distinguish between the two words😜)


I shall be thankful to my creator, if a reader finds it worth, to learn ‘how to use in a more_better way, the sense of Discrimination πŸ™. Logically, I know, my blogs don't inspire much😭.


Ignorantly yours,

My maths teacher

 My maths teacher.



What if I requested you to visualise sitting in your 7th class at your school, and suddenly a new teacher for your maths walks in escorted by the “princi”?

It happened to me, exactly.

The next few moments baffled me! The principal said “this is going to be your maths teacher now! You are very lucky to get such a teacher. He was teaching to post graduate students in a college. ( My eyes widened and my thoughts were “Whhhat¿? Am I ‘hearing’ it okay?”) Let me warn you, any complaint from this teacher, against any student, I will not even enquire into the complaint, but will make sure that the T.C. will not allow him to get admission into any other Good school”( precise words πŸ˜‚… govt. Schools are open to any kid, not ‘good' schools)


This introduction served a ‘sacred’ purpose for me, though I wasn't mature enough to realise it's sanctity. The “worry” part never scared me, because of my chemistry then😜


This teacher never USED the text book. Other teachers might have only obviated the REFERENCE to a text book, but couldn't manage to avoid the “use” of its contents!

He caused ‘hardships’ to all the students, when the examples & homework stuff was extempore.  I was an oddity. I loved his classes🀣. While a frown precedes on the faces of most others as he walks in daily, eagerness sprouts afresh each day into meπŸ™



Let me quell the suspense in my readersπŸ™

Why did he quit teaching post graduate students and opt to teach 7th class kids?


Because,

Our society had indulged into the stupidity by then, of using very negative kind of “standards of measurement” used as tools and yardsticks for evaluation of an intellectual, highly spiritual and unimaginably dedicated teacher.”  Obviously, he failed.  Use a crooked scale to check a straight line, and that line will “fail” the test. The ugly bends in that scale will “give admissible evidence “ that this line is not alongside the scale 🀣


Each lecture was a “seminar “( if we care to examine the true meaning of the word ‘seminar’) . I don't know about others. But I found myself looking at the concept of concepts ( concept formation) when he initiated us into the”abstractions” of algebra. πŸ™πŸ˜‚. 40 years later, I understood effortlessly ( thanks to this teacher, for laying foundation of concepts into me) when a retiree from the highest mathematical reasearch institution in India, a legend in his field, said to me, in a private chat “maths turns into a “language “ transcending it's nature as a ‘science’ after a certain level of study and deep research”  


I could “see” 40 years later, that this teacher of my 7th was in sync with the methodology of Rishis of ancient Bharat ( all the Rishis were invariably, mathematicians of the HIGHEST orderπŸ™). 


I don't know, if the reader is able to “see” a striking semblance? A student of ancient Gurukul gets the “best” teacher possible, at the age of 7.  And here, I got a teacher, qualified to teach final year of postgraduate in maths. Only the numerals are same “7”. Otherwise, the age is too late for me, by 6 more years😭, since pristine intellect fades a little by then!


Several dozens of instances, and incidents related to this_teacher remains fresh in my memory, which can adequately substantiate the fact that he was a teacher ‘par-excellence’. ( Very soon, he was allowed to teach higher classes too, thanks to 2 other excellent teachers in maths, who cheerfully became a catalyst and communicator to the management about the worth of this geniusπŸ™)



This is one of the rare occasions when I feel painfully aware of my inadequacy in doing justice to a blog. I don't have the ability to admire and appreciate this teacher to the level he deservesπŸ™



Inadequately yours,

Keeping a watch

 Keeping a watch 





 "how could you know that the sun has just set?" Asks the heroine in the movie  'Koshish', to a blind man, sitting on sea shore.

Blind says "I can smell"




( We don't have to become a blind, to learn how to smell. 😜

Question of just deepening our perception, using the same sense organs. Eyes can read "aura" if we are willing πŸ™)



πŸ˜‚

Normally, I don't engage into prying into things that do not concern me (mind turns into a politician, when we indulge thus πŸ˜‚)


Somewhere in 1993, I felt that I am seeing a dark shade prominently around a co-participant in my yoga programs. He was intensely keeping a 'watch' on me, my unprecedented growth into practices πŸ˜‚. The teacher would have given 'hints' to him and another participant, both seniors to me in the first level)


I told him " I think, I see a dark shade around you. Makes sense to be more alert, atleast while driving your motorcycle πŸ™" ( he didn't seem to take it seriously)


Third day, he came rushing and asked breathlessly "how is that shade now?"( He was in a hurry to leave, as well. Usually, he visits only when 'leaving hour' is flexible)


I looked at him, eyes defocused.

"A bit dull, but not yet faded out"


He said "I barely escaped a fatal collision, entirely the fault of the otherπŸ˜₯..... How did you know?"

"I still don't know, how I knew!"I said, "it showed itself too prominently πŸ™, and the dark_shades are said to be associated with something negative 😜... I just guessed"




 Keeping a "watch" is an excercise, a tool, prescribed by evolved spiritual teachers, since ancient times.



Once a seeker approached a zen master. And did a "πŸ™"

Zen called the chief disciple and instructed :"keep a watch on him. He will work in the kitchen" (the entrant didn't need any lessons or practices. He was now the seniormost disciple, with just a "waiting period" to explode into enlightenment πŸ™πŸ˜œπŸ˜œπŸ˜œ...  Keeping a watch on him was the_most important excercise for that hitherto_seniormost student!)



Watchfully yours,

Nature's blessings

 Nature's blessings 


All we need to do, to become eligible for receiving nature's blessings is to undo our wrong choices to the possible extent. 


Benedictions, on the other hand, are always subject to the scope for our receptivity. Irreversible actions shut off this scope.


It is in order to reach the core of nature's basic nature, the thought of exploration arises in a human mind. The purpose is to synchronise our choices with that of nature's design, structure and software. Transcending our thought-process was the only way that appeared to be obvious, when all other life forms were naturally in synchronicity with nature 😜.  

And therefore the suggestion by a great master “yoga chitha vruthi nirodha” ( synchronicity, alignment, merger is cessation of the REPETITIOUSNESS of mind) and then, he proceeds with description of time tested tools. Though quite subtle for our sensory levels to perceive, a possibility to access the reachable core form of nature's basic structure is ‘life’(energy) ticking inside us. But the real core is far more subtle, and unmanifest in its form. 


If, our choice is to remain ‘stuck’ to our unaudited & wrong choices of thoughts, words and deeds, then, nature is prepared to wait 🀣. It has a whole ‘eternity’ of time available, to wait. We keep further complicating our ‘errors’ , facing the consequences of wrong choices, and missing the experience of joy innate in nature's design structure and software πŸ™.  The same Master, conveys nature's message as a prelude to that suggestion “athah yoga anushasanam”( And now {that nothing else worked, welcome to} the discipline of synchronicity, alignment and merger{with nature},). 


It is not that we are far away from nature due to our erroneous choices. Nature is a part of us, as much as we are a part of it πŸ˜œπŸ‘πŸ™

Just that, we keep missing the experience part of nature, when the focus of our life_energy remains stuck into the thought process called Mind. ( We keep “just thinking about nature, and related bla-bla” all the time, and keep missing itπŸ˜‚.  No matter how much we ‘think’ about a tasty dish which we never saw, felt or tasted, we can never get to know about it, till we experience its taste. And once we taste it, thoughts about it becomes redundant 🀣).


“I love nature” is a popular expression, which we don't try to question πŸ™. Who within us is exactly “loving” it ? Body, mind, or the spirit?  ( No point elaborating the subtle distinction in these experiences by these entities, because argument, discussion, debate, agreement, conceding etc is confined to only a ‘mind’). For the purpose of humor, let our mind try saying “I love nature” when trapped in a storm, cyclone, volcanic lava, debris of an earthquake, jaws of a huge shark etc 😜. These all are very much “nature” too! ( On a serious note, the ancient tradition of “vaanaprastha”, forest_dwelling at mid_age of 60, was just this, πŸ™…. “I love nature and I do_mean_it, come what may πŸ‘” 😜… they don't articulate it. They ‘live’ it. 



Naturally yours,

Visualization skill via perception

 Visualization skill via perception 



I am not at all competent to ‘talk’ about the skills acquired by ancient Masters of Bharat, when I look at the magnitude of their skills, sitting meditatively, and delving deep into the mysteries of this universe.

( They could foretell with precision upto 1 “vighati” 1/60x60x60th part of 24 hours, the occurrence of an eclipse!). 



More credible evidence? ( Needed?)

Water climbed by itself some 800+ steps at the Golkonda Fort( Hyderabad), Naturally! 

A few engineers of British era BROKE those mud pipes, ( to substitute their lack of skills of perception & visualization) when their CONSTRICTED curiosity tempted them to see the “inside” to find out the technology. ( I was saddened, even as a kid of barely 12 yrs, when the guide explained to my school boys, on an excursion, how this plunder happened 😭). Probably, today's LAPROSCOPY instrument would have saved the design of mud-pipes, though its secrets might have awaited a much more evolved mind, to reveal itself πŸ™


Another example is “paan-Chakki” near Aurangabad (Maharashtra), where I got an opporChutney to fathom the ‘reach’ of the minds of a wandering mendicant who devised a way, to intricately, seamlessly interweave 4 chapters of Physics, in designing a structure of mud-pipes which still fetches river water 10 kms away and delivers it from a height of 10 feet or so. 


Trudging the pathless path, sprinted across, by ancient minds, is a task full of uncertainties unimaginable! 🀣

Instead, I got placed on a track, which was designed to help me to evolve further into the faculties that are related to sensitivity, beyond the sensory levels of perception πŸ™. This pursuit happened to grant me a unique kind of insight, which I had no way to evaluate or validate, except by sharing it. 


While the living humans around grant scarce audience to the concepts I present, certain indescribable energies ( formless ‘beings’/minds) seems eager to hold my tiny finger and lead me into those forests of mysteries πŸ˜›. I wasn't quite sure if it was appropriate to drop a mention of this. But age prompted me to ‘go ahead, blabberπŸ‘’ ( πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ˜›πŸ˜œπŸ€£)



All I look forward to, now…

is to vacate my place, leaving it a ‘bit’ better than it was, when I occupied it!



A blabberer, yours,

Stagnant Focus

 Stagnant Focus


🀣

Focus itself, is a herculean task of late (fast pace of life)

And to ‘talk’ of its stagnation? 😭


But, if ‘learning skills’ mean anything to us, we do need to look at focus a bit deeper.

Skilled tasks need better focus.


My life experience (samples purpose only)

a) At work place, a superior once asked me to do something very inappropriate. Just to oblige a customer who fed him with ‘gratifications’ (graft).

I refused. (only ‘reasonable’ orders of a superior needs to be obeyed. I had no weaknesses which could be exploited, hence no fears! πŸ˜‚  I stayed bold!)

He growled “Don’t think I can’t do that job myself. I can do any clerical work, but you can’t do my job”

I didn’t have to ‘think’ of a reply : “Very true sir! For that matter, we both can do a sweeper’s job, but he can’t do a clerical or your job! But between both of us sweeping the floor, you might keep on sweeping the floor, while, I might invent a ‘vacuum cleaner’ after few days of sweeping!!”

Red-faced,  he proceeded to do that unethical task by himself. 

He missed my point.  Focus shouldn’t stagnate even at a menial-looking task like sweeping floors, if we like to keep evolving.


b)Somewhere during 1966 my dad granted me permission to learn ‘typewriting’ (those manual and mechanical machines, where the finger tips hammer the keys). He didn’t want me to end up as a typist in my life. 

A very strict instruction “ Do not aspire for speed, ever.  In typing, speed is an inevitable consequence, not the purpose. Accuracy will abandon you for ever, if you focus on speed while learning” 

I had to change 6 ‘typing institutes’ because the owner of the 5 previous ones didn’t like me spending days/month on stupidity like “a,s,d,f,g,f.... ;,l,k,j,h,j” (called budget). The sixth fellow didn’t care what i did.  He focused only on monthly ‘fee’ of Rs.6 (then)

After 6 months, a couple of months of sentences like “the quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog” (a to z)

I started of at 25 wpm :))  

My dad had learnt typing. But was using his skill very rarely.

One such unforgettable occasion was when his manager told : “ I am going to Head office by flight. No time to ‘draft’ that vital and important letter. Bring it directly to the airport. Use a taxi car. I will pay for it.” ( He briefly told dad about the ‘matter’ and dad said “please sign at this place here” on a blank printed-letter-head paper.” That manager stared in disbelief!  The signature is usually at a place where the ‘body’ of a letter ends, and below the words ‘yours faithfully,’ with a “manager” typed below the signature.)  

Dad had very little time. He typed it. That signature stood where it had to, though the structure was built around it, only after  😳.  Later, he counted the words. Time, he knew since  he was racing against it :))  He said “ it happened to be 72 wpm” with a ‘matter-of-fact-only’ kind of expression. 

I bookmarked this incident, which I never witnessed, but my dad’s narrative is, as always, flawless, owing to the bed-time stories we squeezed out of him, as his 3 kids!

(my take= type writing can expand its scope of newer skills in it if we are better-focused while learning)f


one funny thing I noticed (pertains only to me, a ‘half-mad’ fellow). After learning typing, my mind started “chanting” the spellings of each word that I ‘write’ with my ‘hand’ and using a ‘pen’ 🀣🀣😜

That was new!  Otherwise, hitherto, spellings were just a practice of kid age, despite the mismatch of pronunciation & its spellings in English 🀣

I started looking at more possibilities, when spelling each word became a possibility, afresh, each time. Slowly, phrases, sentences, why.... even concepts started preceding what I think+write, not while ‘copypasting’.


Toughest challenge ever.

Focus during breathing.  Keep watching that ‘stupid-breath’. 

It begets mind-fatigue at supersonipartc speed 😜🀣

And, ancients spent decades practicing to focus better and better, and...better their own breath!!!

Gautama Buddha did the ‘known’ part  of research best at breath-watching. 

Awesome results!  We not only become better at focusing on breath, but our ‘focusing skills’ grow phenomenally !!! ‘Stagnation’ stagnates far behind, when breath-watching evolves.



Stagnantly yours,

Yours Foolishly

 Yours Foolishly πŸ˜‚


That's me!

Make no mistake about itπŸ™


Those who had the curiosity of peeping into my status ( stature) on WhatsApp would have noticed it ("Chappadachee" Trash-Can (Chappa, trash)😝 My Baptised Name!(2-in-1 ΰ€‰ΰ€²्ΰ€²ू+ΰ€‰ΰ€²्ΰ€²ू ΰ€•ा ΰ€ͺΰ€Ÿ्ΰ€ ाπŸ‘)


Only a fool would try ethics (like honesty, outspokenness, adherence to rules, etc) today. And he earns the title “fool, who does not know how to survive πŸ˜­πŸ™)


Honesty etc adorns only people like M.K.Gandhi. His fame obviates any scope for scrutiny of political dishonesty he nourished carefully 😜 . And he benefitted too. No prisoner managed to EXTRACT an expensive diet like himπŸ™. Goat milk onlyπŸ‘. And he got obliged by the British, for their political benefits πŸ™. A single Goat yields very little milk. So, several kids of few goats paid the price of malnutrition due to the adamancy of this Maha_aatmaπŸ™. ( For medicinal purposes, in ayurveda, a little goat_milk is for Survival πŸ™)



For Aam adami, honesty is foolish. Our dishonesty uses a make_up with, “What was a luxury decades ago, is an absolute-neccessity today!”.

Shringar for a bride, decades ago, became a necessary-make-up( quite expensive too 😜) today. And the groom knows, what kind of a face to-face in her, days later, sans-makeUp🀣


Earning for a “living” is no-more a dishonesty ( the teacher, in my spiritual program, STUPIFIED me when he said, “centuries ago, food happened for free for humans too! Today it is still  for “free” for all other life forms! Only humans need to work_for_food. Few animals/birds only hunt, not work!).


We can't afford honesty about our comfort zone, when we climb vertically, in our graph, about our dependency on gadgets😜. We say “no longer a luxury item. It's a necessity nowπŸ‘πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™.” ( A.I. technology will eventually turn this attempt/scope/tool  even, to look at our dishonesty, into a Redundant thing . 🀣….  A dweller on Sun doesn't ‘need’ a word like “light” so, darkness remains unknown to himπŸ™)



I heard a joke in the epic story of Ramayana. Somebody suggested to Ravana “Hey! Why not dress up like Rama, and abduct Sita?”. It seems Ravana got infuriated and barked “do you think, I can't think about this idea????😑 F-o-o-l, the moment I change into “a Rama”, the very idea of abducting Sita would Evaporate out of me !”  ( Even a Villain, during the epics_era could afford honesty πŸ™πŸ˜­…. Karma is governed by a “form too”!!!


( I got flattened by my innate urge into spiritual bijness. As yet, dishonesty doesn't work in spiritual bijness. So, I had_too embrace a formidable stupidity in honesty_unto_self!  My frugality keeps my dishonesty with others, like …. I say to a sure-defaulter “sorry boss! I don't have the ₹100 right now, to lend to you πŸ™πŸ˜­”)



Foolishly yours,

Discipline

 Discipline 


🀣


An elusive word.

It evades a comprehensive grasp of its underlying deeper concepts implied in it, when we readily ‘fall’ for its superficial harshness and dismiss it's depth, calling it ‘a shallow trick’ used by the other to tame us into subservienceπŸ˜₯πŸ™ ( Army discipline, school discipline, work place discipline, lane-discipline… countless such discipline frustrated ‘a’ mind to such an extent…..that…. now we loathe that bloody word, and tend to divert the true sense of another beautiful word ‘Freedom’ 😜. Ugliest sense POSSESSES us, Enslaves us, when our mind shrieks “ I wanna a Freedom from Discipline” 😑😑😑)



Discipline of SCIENCE! ( Not an unknown phrase, but seldom looked at in exclusivity of freedom_seeking mindπŸ™πŸ˜œ). Maths_discipline, is a Must for sensible pursuit of any human_activity πŸ™)



I am no exception to the ambience of today's mindset, surrounded by folks who assume that it is “natural” for a repulsion towards that surface_sense in discipline.



Intellectual discipline is possible only when a mind adheres to the sanctity of mind's discipline 🀣🀣🀣



What about SPIRITUAL discipline? ( only MY problem, so I won't tamper with your “freedom from Discipline”)

A school_teacher , a parent, of today, is in a great hurry!πŸ˜₯. No time to “educate” a kid about the NEED for any discipline, forget about implanting the Concept of itπŸ™).



Other life forms do not Need to understand about “discipline”. The embedded software obviates any scope to tamper with “natural” nature in it. It lives and dies in a disciplined_way!( Evidence???? All life forms —not under captivity—die quietly, disposing their carcass by themselves, in an eco_friendly manner😜… try disposing the carcass of an elephant domesticated, and its very cost will convince usπŸ™).



I am now, loving self_discipline a “bit”. Not that I really evolved 😭…. At my age, 70+ now… nobody is keen to discipline me!πŸ˜₯. No audit for my mind's miss_takes !



Disciple of yours, 

( Disciple is qualified in discipline 😌)

Irritating tail-piece 😜

If I were to ‘pour’ mercury from one glass jar into the other, is it not EFFORTLESS? 🀣 ( OIL is a messy_thing for the same task ! It sticks to the old jar, etc)


Hindu way of life( which we abandoned today) was a software designed to implant spiritual_discipline in…..even-a-kid, quite effortlessly πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™. Bed_time stories from an Evolved grandpa/Mrs grandpa, was enough, to clandestinely infuse discipline. Kid glorified the divine qualities in Rama/Krishna, and tries to emulate “Dharma” in his wakeful activities! 

Snag is, even story telling, needs a CUSTOMISED_discipline πŸ™
