It is time , I thought, things that I held as 'values' within myself, for all these decades, should get scrutinized by others who possess a much sharper sense_of_discriminination than me! ( A preparedness to get get corrected).
Whereas, if by any chance, a reader decides to try it out, he should come to no harm at all🙏 ( to ensure this, I try to confine my blabber to only my personal experience, based on element of repetitiousness.)
I keep adding, as and when my brain wave might persuade 😜🙏
1)मैं अगर किसी को ‘मानता‘ हूं और वो और किसी को, तो वो किसी और को जाने परखें बिना ही, मैं भी मानने लगता हूँ 🙏
If I happen to revere someone, and he reveres someone else, then I too have reverence for that_someone too, without waiting to know or evaluating that someone else 🙏
2)when innocence is led by awareness, wisdom is a mere consequence
3)any kind of refinement envisages some kind of self-imposed discipline
4)If there is utter clarity, plus, deep acceptance, about 'what-can-be' expected from today's people(even Hindus), such person is free-from shackles of all kinds 😀
4)Transparency promotes trust.... trust when invoked, nurtures reverence…..
5)Unleashing the potential of a "mind" ....
is not a tiring excercise, if we bothered to maintain the health of our mind😜
I don't know, if it qualifies as a concept? Between the body and a mind, the distinction is, body ages despite maintenance, whereas a mind, if maintained-well, can defy aging 🙏😜😜😜
6)Loneliness or isolation is inversely proportional to the inclusivess capability we grow into!
7)if we are keen to know about our genuineness in our quality called involvement, the litmus test is, our innovation_quality is maintained_actively_in_readiness. But without inclusiveness, involvement cannot survive 😜🙏
8)of you ‘find’ that the person standing before you is able to accept truth(about anything) EFFORTLESSLY….then, know that…..you are staring at the_Highest_form of COURAGE, functioning 😜. ( I strongly suggest, please try to mince-meat/tear-apart/mercilessly-criticise this observation of mine🙏. Blind acceptance might deprive you it's benefits if any, PLUS it might deny me a chance to apologise for making a stupid statement. Win-win idea😜🙏)
9)if, we are keen to have just one single idea to hold on to our life, which obviates the need to adhere to numerous 'good advices' my experience is "just keep refining myself in every thought, word and deed" through my life. The best finds me, instead of me chasing the best😜 ( desi Guru's keep looking for only DESERVING candidates. Historical truth)
10) getting along peacefully with someone locked alongside us, inextricably, is undoubtedly a challenging task.
In my attempt to render myself “harmless” to the fellow alongside me, I found myself ending up being also_USELESS to that person 😜🤣. ( Obviously, when a distance is affordable, I do better 🙏 I don't EXIST, in their experience 👍)
11)Knowledge and wisdom CAN precede or succeed innocence, but innocence cannot be OBVIATED at all, for ultimate liberation/Mukti/moksha/whatever 👍🙏🙏🙏
12) Parenting was different until a century ago, since thousands of years.
The ‘values' (taught)were enough, to resist hacking 🤣. Basic OS was those Values 🙏
Today, fire-walls are not working, and latest OS is Never BUG-FREE 😭. VERIFY thoroughly, this statement and then agree! Discarding it is an easier option, just ‘delete 👍’
12-A) Value-BASED education ( till 200 years ago in Bharat ( not Literacy 😜)
Those-values, which are COMPATIBLE with human physiology 🙏. ( Details, I omit deliberately)
13) Right kind of choices are possible only when the intellect is free from the dominating mind(a mere sum total of experiences, and its influences)...when choosing is the urgent need of the situation 🙏
14) Reckless, random, incoherent and unbridled thought_processes when awake, are indicative of our tendency to mimic our dream_state where, brain doesn't process and intellect remains unavailable 😜 ( not a ‘good' sign!)
15) Parenting is utmost crucial upto 5th year of a child, simply because, the Very Nature of this formative-years is going to work as an EMBEDDED software for the lifetime of that kid, and hence vital. ( The paradox is “if we don't know the difference it makes, there won't be any difference for that kid” 🙏😜)
16) Bharat is(was) Shraddha/श्रद्धा culture, compared to ‘freedom’ culture we Aped today 🙏.
Reverence is the nearest available word, though grossly inadequate to capture its true sense.
When shraddha is at its best, intellect is at its peak, riding on awareness & alertness, both at its best!
( Imagine walking around, inside a large house networked with a maze of criss-crossed wires, uninsulated, carrying a high charge of 11000 volts of electricity 🤣 one careless movement, is fatal 😥. Now, remove that ‘fear’ and then visualise the intensity of care, caution, alertness and awareness of walking around a reverential person, or a consecrated place like a temple or home. This is just a symbolic example to help visualization of how_receptive WE should be, to benefit from such reverential people, place or things🙏)
For a super_perfect utilitarian advise, a verse in Gita, is a trillion times better than what I tried to ‘suggest’ here using my primitive life experience 😓( श्रद्धावान लभते ज्ञानम…..)
17) honesty unto oneself is a Nasty business, but a few fools undertake it, and innocently cause envy into others, by displaying a pleasant aura due to it!( It seems somebody tried to “educate” a sculptor re-doing a tiny statute to be placed at a height of 30 metres on a tower of some church or temple, saying “see…nobody is going to notice that tiny_flaw on the previous one there, from such a height. Why waste efforts re-doing it?”
That sculptor: “but I know, there is a flaw there🙏😞”)
18)while knowledge of law cannot be expected from common man, Jurisprudence SHOULD NOT BE avoided by common man, especially since Jurisprudence doesn't require literacy 😜( proof: in all departmental-Enquiries, no enacted law is forced upon. No LLB is needed to be an enquiry official, presenting official or a defense_representative🤣. ideally, therefore, any dept-enquiry has better scope to do-justice than a Supreme court even. Courts only_administer Law. Any “justice” is purely incidental 😜🙏🙏)
19) That inclusiveness, envisaged in the cherished greatness of sanatana Dharma, through its words “vasudaiva Kutumbakam”( universe is my family), got chopped off, because of today's social norms “don't interfere in my life” 😜…. I will vote for a Jihadi, or even yield to his love jihad, my freedom, you_get_lost!
I became an indifferent fool, fearing that interference into my next kin, friend, fellow citizens 🙏. ( No cure, so endure😜🙏)
20)for Any debate to be a “healthy” one indispensable requirement is, both sides need to be equipped with a matching level of inputs relevant to the subject of debate.
(Evidence: Aadi Shankara conceded when asked “what do you know about a married life?” and requested a week's time to experience the relevant data, came back to win the debate with wife of first pontiff of shringeri mutt)
21)the flip_side of desi spirituality is, as long as a person keeps refining oneself spiritually ( only to one's own possible _best, no benchmarks), there are evolved beings hovering around, to support mightily, unbelievably, and certainly!
Traditional evidence about a “Guru” seeking a disciple, is the proof 🙏. ( My personal experience, though of great value for me, about this, need not be taken cognizance of🙏). Tough thing is, to ‘keep refining oneself’ on a daily basis😜( flop side).
22)I don't know if this can find an appeal, just_enough to examine honestly🙏
The criteria for becoming a full_fledged Brahmin is only if there is an Experience of 1st of the 4 Mahavakyas "pragyanam Brahma" ( preliminary stage of a noteworthy evolvement for a human)
Mere Name tag as a "Brahmin" serves only an extraneous purpose, not related to its purpose 🙏
23)Grown up Children'demanding' from parents their "freedom"(today)
sadden stupid parents🙏😜
A responsible jailer gets MORE freedom than the criminal leaving that 'jail'!
A jailer commits sucide(prisoner is not responsible) WHEREAS, a prisoner does it? Jailer gets questioned FIRST
24)Trust has to grow on its own. Forcing others/ourselves, onto or from, is futile. Inclusiveness at its deepest level is the manure 😜. When ‘trust’ is mention-worthy, the society or nation scales prosperity as a byproduct of spirituality 🙏
25)Dress related obscenity, embarassment, revulsion, etc is only due to the mind-set, whereas, traditionally, an apparel was ‘meant’ to serve, not the minds of an onlooker, but to suit the situation, occasion or event. ( Until 200 years ago, Hindus of Bharat Preferred only unstitched clothing, and used their ingenuity to drape it skillfully 🤣)
An englishwoman did quiz Ramana Maharshi about his loincloth-only. He addressed her mind's genuine-quest(ion) and said “you have no-probs, leaving only-your-face uncovered isn't it? Well, for me it's my entire body! But I wear a full dhoti when I walk through a village. Here on a rock, at this desolate mountain top, I need just a loincloth🙏”
26)femininety, at its subtlest sense is not about a female gender, but it is about the closest_possible proximity to the Shiva ness/shivatatwa, in a spiritual sense! If, perception is affordable, a look at the countenance of spiritually evolved people will reveal their femininety, grace etc 🙏 ( Females are naturally gifted with an overdose of femininety_also, which , they today demolish with concerted efforts, to compete with the logic in their male_counterparts. Obviously, the logic fails them often, when they need it most😭
27)the efforts needed,
to build a “character”
is
inversely proportional to the support received from our surroundings 😜
( try to demolish this, and do_tell_me, if you succeeded 🙏)
28)"I cannot choose the best. The best chooses me" wrote Gurudev in “stray birds”. For this, I need to strive for ‘self-refinement’(आत्म-परिष्कार ) in every activity of thought, word and deed incessantly 🙏. ( It seems to work for me😜)
29) for communism to work well, the politburo needs to be brainy, patriotic incorruptible etc.
Ancient kerala, rishis were politburo. King was today's CM. It worked for thousands of years. Today's Kerala, if one member of politburo is accidentally honest, they make him a CM( king)😂. He obeys and takes all the blame as well🙏👍
30) even ‘truth’ has evolved in its displayed forms 😜
Not just ‘bitter’ now! It even irritates🥵
Look at the spate of ‘advises’ heaped daily on my WhatsApp. The truth is that the ‘sender’ himself never verified or practices it😥
31)I got ‘addicted’ to Kerala towel, for drying myself after bath. It's a plain cotton cloth but its loosely spun yarn absorbs water easily, and the loose porous Weave dislodges my dead skin of yesterday when I rinse it. Non-addicts are blessed with “turkish” towel etc. They love to re-live through their dead skin that gets embedded deep into the hidden weave beneath 😜
32)Sadism is contagious as I see. Just that clever ones among us nurture only its benign-form, to feign empathy 😂

33)Each of the 'sense' organs in a human,
has a potential to evolve beyond the 'basic' functions that comes as a factory-fitting. ( Easiest convincing one is the pair of eyes 🙏😜)
34) the secret of a successful domestic harmony in today's scenario is in the ability to compensate for the deficiency in self_discipline in our spouse 😜
35) Seeing God in a temple!
I CopyPaste the Wisdom of a soorDas( a polite way of addressing a blind person, reverentially 🙏)
He said,( in response to a mockery “ you are born_blind, and yet, claim a darshan of deity? Eh? 😛”) ….”well, agreed that I am blind, but Godji isn't blind, and isn't it enough if He sees me?”
My problem arose now! 😓. Despite sightful eyes, do I have the perception to “see” that subtle energy CONSECRATED in that idol?. That soorDas is better_abled, not differently abled , when it comes to sitting eyes CLOSED for a MeditaShun 🙏😜. He can afford with eyelids wide open 😭
36) when it is about defining the type of relationship we hold with others, I was wondering how to make it brief, as a ready reference for my personal use🙏
Broadly, we have two major types: commercial and non-commercial.
Then, why not call it as 2-way and 1-way traffic?😜. The moment we seek some/any kind of gratitude, acknowledgement, reciprocation, emotional or pecuniary, my relationship is a 2-way. Only when I do something and never bother to turn back, looking for how it went with the other, it is 1-way traffic 😂. A sophisticated name is “unconditional love” 😥. “One-way traffic” is much easier on my mind🙏
37) phoren(foreign) visitors state at the incredibly low rate of collision, when they look at a six-way busy crossing junction in the heart of a metro like Mumbai! Signals not working, and no traffic police. Vehicles of all types criss-cross like disturbed large beehive, where bees are flying criss-cross without colliding 😜 ( who am I to tell them, “Sir, 🙏…. but it's happening right inside you too! Only if your ‘mind' can permit you to observe 😓. There is a junction in your throat. Food is swallowed, and air is breathing across at the same time, but without colliding 😂 . Only if your mind insists on ‘talking while eating’ chewed food might be forced towards lungs a bit, and the ‘lungs’ scream with what we call it as cough! On the other hand, if mind_is_Kind, awareness adds to smooth flow of traffic at throat. Breathing+swallowing🙏". 😂)
38)artificiality of emotions, I could understand like never_elsewhere, when I came across an Urdu couplet( ‘sher’, they call it)
Hazaar phool kam hai, ek dulhan ko sajaane ke liye!
Ek phool kaafi hai, ek kabr ko sajaane ke liye!
Hazaar khushiyan kam hai ek zindagi banaane ke liye 😓
Ek gam kaafi hai ek zindagi mitaane ke liye 🙏
( Power of ‘genuine’ emotions Versus “build_up” of artificial ones😜)
