As simple as that!
People try to find out if I am a
'good-fellow'... and they find it so embarrassing to spell out
their findings!
(Actually, one person did spell it out!
The tragedy was, the person to whom it was told was unfortunately
too well aware of the 'why & how' of it!)...
A cockroach, for instance... can it
be ever 'good' ? To us, of course... and we mean it only 'thus'!
That's the catch!
Spirituality doesn't exactly 'promote'
being good thus! This simply defeats the expectations of the bulk of
people today, from spiritually-oriented-persons!
The 'other way' of looking at it ...
those who attempt to 'promote' spiritual growth in others, having had
a 'fair' measure of growth in themselves, try to look for 'potential'
in those-others!
Average goal-seekers try to look for
'qualities' in others, when they contemplate to team-up to make the
reach for their goals a little easier, faster/speedier, etc..
Qualities are at various levels...
when it is almost 'effortless' it is dexterity/skill/etc... At
knowledge level only, it is expertise, and not a skill-yet!
Professionalism is viewed in two ways,
when looked at in a macro-level... Both converge at 'impersonal'
attitude.. ... James Bond is a professional, and doesn't waste much
time with 'condolence' etiquette/s when his co-spy is fallen (only in
one movie, he 'affords' himself a quick glance, making a 'specific'
request to his adversary, when he is led handcuffed, and his
colleague lays fallen!)... Emotions are dealt-with quite
effectively! Only in 'spiritual-professionalism' perhaps, emotions
are really transcended... with empirical-related activities,
emotions are just tamed, and not transcended... Insensitivity to
emotions makes the clear-distinction when outward-appearance tends to
be deceptive about a person being 'professional', like in the case of
a person who takes care of a body or ensures that it gets
fully-consumed at a funeral pyre!
That branding of a person as 'good' ,
as long as it is based on 'utilitarian-objective' and yet the focus
is fully-subjective, defeats the very objective of 'being a human'
being! Animals do not distinguish other life forms, whether of their
own kind or the different ones as 'good and bad'.. .. they just
respond 'appropriately' to their respective nature (we do the same
with a cockroach!).. ... Somewhere we happen to complicate the
complexity-potential of a human-form, and therefore the 'need' to
brand a person as 'good or bad' to suit our own 'objectives'! A
classic example is about the 'confusion' prevalent regarding the
'branding' of two popular characters of recent history... One is
Mahatma Gandhi, and the other is his 'assassin'! Not many would have
'experienced' Krishna as a 'good-person' till the whole story of
Mahabharata became an 'epic-story' for people! This 'confusion' is
symbolised amazingly, though quite indicatively, when Gandhari
decided to pronounce a curse on Krishna after the battles and the war
was over, and soon after that irreversible curse, she found herself
in an inextricable abyss of emotion!
Those who 'expected' me to be 'good'
must have felt thoroughly let down, when I abruptly got drawn into a
kind-of-silence, and as a consequence, the entertainment value of my
blogs disappeared so suddenly... Others find a respite, of course!
Spiritually yours,

My Regards Dear Sir :)
No, I never looked for any "good" person on ST. But till date, your ability as a true seeker is uncomparable. In your absence, to me ST is 'Namak bina Chutney'

Many are there sir, and far more better than me, but usually, such people are mostly on reciprocal-basis....
I usually do not look for reciprocation of any kind... Somehow, there was a pull, towards seclusion, and I yielded this time!
I enjoyed participating, throughout, beyond my capacity to imagine/expect... Noble people like you made me a debtor for your affection!

"inextricable abyss of emotion"
do you not feel it is that which binds us --these seem to be strings of maya which keep us bound..
Otherwise we are free birds.
In a way feeling that "I am useless"
is a big release - some strings get cut off.
Even though by this time both you and me know well that world is not binary divided in useful, useless, good bad etc. But they do pop in too..
after all we are in this world too where such nonexisting partitions are there.
"Those who 'expected' me to be 'good' must have felt thoroughly let down"
I doubt that very much. People many do want you to be back - they want to continue things as it is, specially nice activities, but it is not at the expense of feeling of being "let down".
Just like our maya jaal of real world-blogging site also are maya jaal of their own world. Absence presence gets submerged in the ocean.
Any way you found it a good opportunity to get out of binding ..
surely you are enjoying it..
blogger.com does not seem to be so convinient and lively as ST.
I had used the site long back but now because of you, I have to get back to using it.
It has no reply mode -nice to see shekhar here.
oh! my name appears here differently -previouscomment I had written. Let me see whether this appears with my normal blogging name soumyasrajan. I tried some editing but not sure it changed or not. It seems now it will change it.
"blogger.com does not seem to be so convinient and lively as ST. "
Yes....
That leaves a better choice... No need to "deal"...
And a response... Still available!

yes but one can escape this "no need to deal" - via such copying and putting it as replies. But any way I also feel email is simpler mutual communication.
