Very safe to talk “about-myself” only, isn't it?
What's true with-me, is my-experience of that( life). Not necessarily others “would have gone through” ……something similar.
If
I feel that,
Others too might be able to “use” my-experience, I try-to share it, and the others have a “choice” to throw it or use it.
Example 1
( how I explain, using my sense of discrimination)
A middle aged housewife( family friend) asked me : why are we not required to write the amount in words, like we used-to, while drawing cheque?( digital technology—net-banking, unified payments interface, etc…changed the “game rules”)”
I said, :” Madam, several reasons. All of them have a common source! Human intervention, other than me, the power on my-money!
I write a cheque, which is an instruction to my-custodian( trustworthy! ) a bank…. to handover money to the person( not a dog, or a machine) i name. A certain sum , a specific sum ( to avoid ambiguity PLUS distortion, I NEED to reduce the ambiguity and safeguard the distortion by…..REPEATING the sum in words). On their part BANK makes the cheque leaf vulnerable to alteration, using a paper from “security printing press). A smudge with a drop of sweat distorts the MICRO printing of banks name all over the OBVERSE… Being a THOROUGH professional, whe bank itself writes a cheque on itself( DD….payorder), they further complicate it for the forger by using pin-point typewriter….
Today, we customers are ALONE going to DEAL with OUR money. Zero intervention by another human. Digital technology. Humans in bank get busy, taking care of machines. Safety ( with “fire walls”), user-friendly with innovation…… SECURITY with counter-checks ( OTP, id of user, password, gateway ….prohibiting foreign hackers, internet-protocol-address….etc)
Basically…….dependence on human-trust is SHIFTED to a machine.
Now, bankers are struggling to prove their trustworthiness, like never-before 🙏🙏🙏😜😜😜”
Example 2 ( within my work place)
I “found” …..thanks to my senses…..that
a)auditors insist on checking a small book, ALWAYS kept inside the cash-safe. This book is updated EVERY TIME, when cash is kept or taken out, such that the “balance” shown in the book is exactly-same as physical cash!
What could be the purpose? 🤔….
I discovered . Safe manufacturers have indemnified the bank, from any loss of cash ( fire or theft) during the period when cash safe is locked! Insurance premium can be saved by the bank, when AMOUNT of…cash-in-safe is reduced from total amount requested to-be-insured.
b)staff trying to rejoin duty after any-type of leave( especially on health grounds) can be asked to produce a fitness certificate from a qualified-doctor. Bank-doctor, is only a matter of mutual trust, communication-ease, fixed-charges, less vulnerability of being bribed by a nefarious staff😜, etc.
When a dilution in leave rules came “one day sick-leave allowed without a medical certificate”.... the addition INVOKED my sense of discrimination 🤣… bank added “fitness certificate however, is at the discretion of the bank/manager/boss”... why?
Then I discovered : health of other staff and customers is also, a MORAL responsibility of bank!!!.... what if, that fellow was sick, and rejoins to SPREAD a disease like corona virus? Communicable contagion? ( it is quite ANOTHER matter that sending a subordinate to a doctor WHIMSICALLY-also, happens in rare-stray cases 🙏… in such cases, inadvertently though, the bank ends up committing in-writing that “you-fellow…. We trust neither you, nor your goddammed doctor ANYMORE 😡😡😡…”
Use of a sense of discrimination, NEEDS a judicious use of sense of discretion. Choice, used as discretion, involves a sense of judicious essence, or Juris-prudence. Even an illiterate cannot dispense-with these “senses” though he escaped explaining it in an answerpaper, at school.
Spiritual pursuits demand “abundant” measure of these very senses, and ability to use them best....if the purpose of this pursuit is for own sake, and not for commercial success as a fake-Godman 🤣( example: while inside my-dream, i am unable to tell my grandpa "hey, you were dead long ago? How are you appearing before me now?" . He seems real+alive during the dream. Only after I wake up, and narrate my dream, that sense of discrimination WORKS, and I say "I saw our dead grandpa in my dream last night! He was real!". Why do we lose that sense of discrimination while-inside a dream???? Dunno! Figure it out, reaching your "spirit" with-or-without spirituality😜🙏)
Indiscriminately yours,
