Oops!
Well, despite my 'oops' .. there is
really nothing that I can do much about it...
“Classified”... you know!
“Classified”... you know!
I was amazed to look at a very few
teachers randomly scattered, who do take own 'risk and
responsibility' to advocate the 'concept' of something that they
teach... It is easier to understand 'concepts', when it is about
'the' concepts related to an operation used as a tool in mathematical
measurements (multiplication, division, algebraic terms...etc).. The
concepts about languages are a bit hazy... fewer teachers really
'dare to indulge'...
What is quite difficult to 'digest' is
that, in the ancient days, the teachers liberally focused on evolving
students into developing 'an ear for concepts'! That, I found it
quite exciting+amazing!
I seldom talk about it... And even
now it is a status quo!
And yet, may I try to present a
proposal: 'What if the very classification itself was based on
'concepts' potential , when it came to classifying humans?' Does it
not rhyme with the eccentricities that we 'feel-so' with a
present-day-mind?... the finer the classified-group, the tougher the
grasp about their life-styles!!! Well , no point talking further..
... In Hindi there is a protective gear, “samajhdaar ko ishaara
kaafi hai” (for the wise one, a hint is but quite
sufficient!)...
Now, when our teacher asked a very simple, basic and fundamental question, “what is the difference between humans and other living beings?” (yes, the animal kingdom)...
Participants tried-out with several 'aspects'... but none had managed to even touch-upon the 'difference' the distinct factor!

The teacher quietly said, (the style of
dialogue delivery was like that of a hefty, stout comedian of black
and white movie era, who heavily depends on dialogue-delivery, rather
than gesticulations).. he said, “well, if we don't know the
difference, then ... .. there is no difference!”
I committed a blunder. I laughed out
loud. And all heads turned towards me with the curiosity of
witnessing a rare species mating. ( I too, hold back the 'difference'
for the same 'obvious' reason: No point, yelling it :) telling it
out)...
But, quite a few are blooming out,
recently (may be 'of-late' suits better)...! So, a hint.. be it so,
I thought! (A few years ago, a small news item did raise my
eyebrows: Some where in west, recruiters were trying to look at DNA
pattern as a potential for hiring 'good' ones! Nothing 'reached' me
further, nor did I 'try' to reach it!... Here I had better things
to do with what I had within me!

Don't know why, but the idea of 'concept' as a verb (conceive/conceptualise) seems to be more appealing, at least for me, than the noun form of it. Perhaps for me, it isimply appears like that ripe-seed which carries a whole lot of possibilities and yet remains a possibility till it is 'conceived', metaphorically, in the womb of an individuality.
Till every organic process is pooled together, till every necessary ingredients are dynamically arranged together to warm up the 'seed of concept', and then wait with patience to let it sprout, the beauty of its flowering can never be actualised.
Lighting up to a concept or idea & living by that can of course be an everyday affair, but only for him, who can keep that 'receptivity' open in the womb-of-mind & not only that, he ought to have that graceful patience with reverence, to nurture it & make it alive.
Yes Sir, this has been the greatest challenge of spirituality to look out and nurture such 'good' specimen from mankind (hopefully expecting everyone to be like that), who can not only conceive these concepts...all those are good for humanity, but also populate & disseminate them further, for the sake of posterity!
Thank You Sir.
Regards.
Woh, 'don't know why'....wala 'thought'...
does it not seem to also rhyme with 'dynamic' state of non-doing(silence-wala-meditation, as a 'practice')
