Insensitively immune
What if our 'immunity' is
merely the functionality of an incidental by product (what ever it
is), of our insensitivity?
It is a highly 'sensitive'
issue (of course, here again it is 'subject to availability of
sensitivity too'), and therefore, the vulnerability is higher for the
'self' than the risk to the 'other' (in this case, 'the other' being
... the quixotic 'me'!... And a few closely known people, at times,
try to solve a riddle about my-sensitivity-related-issues...!!!).
Now, if the mind becomes
'insensitive'...???? Is it , (the insensitivity) about our logic,
the reasonableness of its approach... or is it confined to emotion
itself? Or is it about certain queer situations where the response
'ought-to-be' a refined-mixture of both? Dunno!
....
I shall attempt to afford
a 'relax' laxative, trying to recount an incident: A comedian of
Tamil movies of yester-years, Mr.Thangavelu, was asked during a
radio-interview, as to how he managed to 'drop' humor instances in
movies so abruptly, and so effectively, when his physical stature did
not allow him the gimmicks that other younger comedians of his period
made use of, in a compensatory/supplementary manner for the lack of
their own 'gift of gab'! And he came out with a practical 'clip' of
one of his movies:
The Marriage broker:
“Sir... if you can elaborate a bit, about 'what-kind-of-a-groom'
you are looking for?......???”
The anxious father: “
Preferably ... 'a male' human being of course!”
Now, this example, ... is
it not a bit 'obsolete' or outdated ... due to the 'way we decided
to advance' (We are a 'well-advanced' society now... and hence
perhaps, a bit immune to such jokes, be it due to insensitivity or
whatever!)
When, our dear politicians
are keen about sensitizing an aam-aadmi into a fervor of patriotism
('only-to-the-extent' of serving their own political ambitions!), how
do we 'find' admiration for a spiritual teacher who strives/seeks to
invoke the 'spiritual-sensitivity' in us, and undertakes to do
'whatever-it-takes'...!!!! Dunno!
Sensitive immunity of,
(of course) yours,
