Heart Condition!

That is when the heart is not 'conducive', when we end up into a 'heart condition'! (It is so inspiring, to see that we humans still look at heart as a potential to remain 'unconditional' under 'ideal-conditions'!)

Where as when we say it is 'in condition'(about most other things), it indicates a 'health'!

I talked to the spouse of a person whom I knew very closely, to learn about the 'present-condition' of that person, 'as she saw him'... She happened to 'borrow' a very common expression that she had heard of... in order to some how convey... an observation of hers, a perception of hers, which remained elusive to her own judgement... this 'expression' made a reference to 'praana finding its way to sustain life in the body, amidst all the 'logically-negative clinical conditions prevailing in an aggravated manner' ... Most of these aggravated conditions came under the scanner when a medical examination was sought, and the obvious monitoring too happened at the ICU...!

This 'observation' of hers... amazed me! 'Oh!' I felt... 'if only she would take notice of this phenomenon of a 'non-judgemental-perception'... but, she is not available even to have such a wish, the way she (her mind) is positioned right now! Spiritual tools and techniques strive to enhance this style-of-perception. A good teacher would also strive to incorporate a safety-valve, where such perception does not itself become a 'commercialised-tool' (One of the teachings of 'the form' of Krishna during the Mahabharata, during the 'freeze' scenes where he has the exclusivity of a subtle 'unfrozen-motion' of articulation to Karna during the last few moments of Karna's life... Krishna explains, cites the improper application of 'knowledge', its sanctity.. and the result thereof... where knowledge fails to 'befriend' the person who possesses it, in times of crisis! The reference is towards degradation of that 'knowledge' into looking at it as 'yet another materialistic tool'... If one can capture this symbolism in its 'intended-sense' , not getting trapped into the veracity of the epic-story itself,... it does provide a key to several lock-blocks within, 'opening the bridge'.. not just 'opening the doors'... happens! The dramatisation of the story provides ample clue here to explain, why the 'hither-to' inimical-outlook towards the assailant-to-be transforms into a 'love-for-the-being-now'---what we get to see is, there is a warmth in the 'approach' when Karna later says, 'please behead me' to Arjuna, and yet proceeds to intensely strive at that 'mission-impossible' of removing the stuck wheel of the chariot... A logic-defying scenario indeed!)

When I was keeping 'track' of the clinical 'procedures' for the heart condition of that person, I was suddenly reminded of how the 'ancient pharmacologist' would have performed, at the behest of the physician! Somehow, the personal experience with spiritual practices thus-far, nudges me to 'believe' that it was not a coincidence that the ancient pharmacologists were 'preferably' females! There is a vaidya, who would prescribe to that 'femininity' inherent in that female, the 'methodology' of the approach(customised to suit the patient), towards the 'life-content' in the individual raw ingredients(usually herbs), which were in-itself, an amazing composition even individually, yet-individual, and holding a potential to release the nascent life energy latent in it, as a closely guarded potential, waiting to be released in its 'nascent' form, when carefully guided into a 'compatible' receptacle, under stringent lab-conditions and then, proceeding to invigorate the feeble, fatigued and weak 'prana' in that human being, to then-on proceed to re-vitalise the vital organs, etc! Where, there is not a female in the proximity, the vaidya himself does the invocation of feminine aspect within (and vice-versa, in those rare-cases of a female-vaidya, who does the analysis, while invoking the logical aspect of 'reasoning' to arrive at a fair-diagnosis, and then she already has that ingredient for a feminine-pharmacologist!)... Obviously, the beneficiaries are going to be a little ignorant about such intricate details, and the common word to refer the phenomenon in an aggregate fashion is.... to call it a 'miracle', and the performer's hands as 'kara-punya' ('Kara' symbolises the hands too... with which karma-kriya/performance... is usually 'hand-led/handled'!

Quite a long narrative already! I have to hold back a few more observations of mine for a spacious arena which might be available some time later (while 'we know'.... already... that the mind is going to 'only look at' a word at a time... the attention span, its miserly size, tends to blame it on the 'length'... all the time!. And as goes the saying, 'beggars cannot be choosers'... I have to outsource the 'choice' to the charity-giver here, while I beg for that 'attention-span'.. But someday, hopefully, when somebody decides to become 'choicelessness' as their very-way-of-being.... the 'well-being' of the being is ......not going to now-depend-on ... the 'being-well' of .....everything else.... about that being, which only belongs to that being, but never was a part of that 'being'!

Heartily conditioned, yours,
