Customised spiritual tools

 Ancient giants of Bharat were thoroughly professional in perfecting a customized spiritual tool for each of their disciples. Often such tools used to be a brief chant, prescribed via an initiation. But there were additional tools, which were meant for functional applications as well. Goal was invariably only one--liberation!

Sometimes,  this concept of customisation works even with a dumb idiot like me, when situation is favorable 😜 ( there is an adage "ख़ुदा मेहरबान तो गधा भी पहलवान.... When God turns benevolent,  even a donkey turns into an invincible wrestler")

Recently, someone wrote "I am wondering....... complexity and complicated...two words! 🤔( and so on...)"

I recalled a person, 'uniquely_close' to me.  ( quite soon, we both could 'drop' the 'dependence' on our mutual relatives_wala bonds, to remain_close to each other 😜....  we transcended the fact that we are brothers_in_law, mutually🙂.

Once, he spelt out his problem_about_problems😜

"Yaar, how do you deal with confusing situations,  where both options 'seem' appropriate, despite their contrast to each other?" he quizzed! 

I found the 'situation' to be just right👍... we were walking towards a temple, which he wanted me to 'see'!  

Now, that 'walk'  took away my need to ensure that he is focused, alert and_yet_relaxed😜

I said, "simple boss!  Forget the COMPLEXITIES of each option. No need to complicate it with your_confusions!"

His focus sharpened enough to interject with "phir kya karoon? ( then, what should I do? )"... not waiting for my deliberate_pause, which was to get his attention 😳

I said in slow_motion 😜 "just look at both the options, to check whether they are life positive or life negative  it will work fine for you👍"

Before I could continue with how to deploy this 'patch algorithm' he again exclaimed "fantastic yaar! You made it damn simple! 🙏😜"

I continued, "see.... the possibilities are, both options, you might_find to be 1)one of them life positive 2)both life positive 3)both life negative 4) etc..... now you can choose any, using this litmus test, or opt_out to hunt for that proverbial 'Plan-B' like our cunning politicians 😜🙏🙏🙏"

( my guess is, he found this tool handy till his last breath 🙏🙏🙏)

I can't 'speak' about his_trust in_me🙏.... too-sacred, though Nothing secretive/private/personal/confidential/etc about it!

Testily yours,
