Stiff neck

 Stiff-neck 

😂

Very few of us are born with a defect, which prevents us from turning our head sideways, at will.  When our neck becomes stiff( some unfortunate medical condition, spine malfunction, often) we need to turn out body above waist, to enable the head to turn sideways and allow eyes to ‘view’ something 🙏

I heard that Sunflower has no stiff-neck like other plants and trees. Flexible neck( stalk of that flower), allows the ‘sensitivity’ of_the_flower to keep_receiving the Positive rays from sun, throughout the day 😜 ( we know, sunflower doesn't need yoga-asanas to maintain flexibility 🙏😜).

We humans are under a compulsion to choose “which way to think & act”. Our “potential” for sensitivity goes dead, remains dormant, retains its capacity or….. keeps_Growing_too, as per our Choices 🙏

Simplest available EVIDENCE of ancient wisdom is…… we bow to the Most_energetic celestial body available to_us. Sun.  And the ‘best’ time is during the 4 meeting points of day and night 😂.  3 of them was ‘practical' for familied/gruhastha folk. Hence the term “triKaala-Sandhyavandan”.  ( We have a choice…. to be like a sunflower or a stiff-necked flower)

More discreet ones decided to use a natural “antenna”  which keeps accumulating PLUS reflecting towards earth, whatever kind of energies it ‘gets’ from……EVEN  far away celestial bodies.  Moon 🌙 

Among the other bodies, planets around the sun emit energies which affect us in some way. Moon, like a dish_antenna, reflects such energies. Powerful stars also emit their subtle energies. The sum total of all these emissions from out outer world, became a science by itself ( astrology, astronomy) for the enlightened desi saints of ancient Bharat 🙏 ( Yes, we can choose to ignore or accept this).  Lunar_calender got it's added significance ( alongside Sun, not ignoring it), and therefore, a concept like “moon represents the Mind”, in astrology 😂😜).

Becoming UNAVAILABLE to strong external influences, ( unavoidable negative energies) became a skill ! Spiritual bijness monopolised this skill 😜. Not that this skill is unavailable to non-spiritual people 🙏 . A choice again.

Stiff-neck.

I find, tensed people having their neck muscles “stiff” most of the time. After a certain point, it turns ‘default’ stiffness. Dunno why they CHOOSE to ignore own_neck?  ( A little massage can relax neck muscles. Head ‘feels’ relaxed for a few minutes at least 🙏😂).  Forget that STIFF-competition from that (flexible_neck_wala)sun flower🙏 . Own head is valuable, isn't it, with 4 input_devices located there?

Your choice 🙏 ( today, Vinayaka chaturthi, not advisable to be available to reflected emissions from moon. )

Inflexibly yours,
