Who is observing the practices we do?

 Who is observing the practices we do?

( 😂 What kind of question is this? 😡)

See, "eventually, it is the mind"  says our mind. 

Input devices "look" on the "outside of us". That's a sensible thing too . We interact with out-outside all the time. 

Input devices convey the data to the brain. Brain does the 'processing' and uses the memory stored to correlate the data.  If a numeral is 1, but scribbled shabbily the brain mismatches it with 7 ( nearest match, fuzzy_logic, etc) .  An alein popping up behind a sofa, brain fires "alarm" signal after a "return_value" called "no matches found".

Mind? 😂

It has two broad functions. Memory analytics and imagination analysis, using both, logic and emotions,  .....but .....but..... location is from a right centre and a wrong centre ( the_why, the_how etc is an elaborate topic....   A drunkard stubbornly argues looking at a moon, "this is-a-son, not moon" .... A saint, from a right centre of mind says "this death of my very dear person had to take place, at the appropriate time and therefore, I need not let my sad_emotion overpower me beyond a certain level 🙏")

Sleep is 5th aspect of our mind, which regulates the brain to invoke, postpone, etc the sleep related neurotic signals. Most kids 'learn' how to invoke sleep. A rare few struggle during adulthood, since the learning curve got flattened by then😂.

Intellect? 😥😥😥😳😳😳 ( My "silly" koschan was to tickle the intellect to find out, "when does the_intellect FUNCTION?".... every one has the intellect , and it does_function 🙏. Problem is, it works like a rudderless boat😜, or a vehicle moving with a wobbling/loose steering wheel. Uncertain functioning 🙏😓

A practice like 'breath awareness' goes through all the above processes😌

Who is the observer inside us? ( Who ought be the ideal observer?... The "quality" of watching decides the rate of evolvement 🙏)

Let us see if the foregoing makes any 'sense' thus far? 😌🙏

Very observantly yours,

A joke:

I came across a saying in a South Indian language:  When I sight the dog, I don't see the stone. When I sight the stone, I don't see the dog.

The joke part is in 2 diverse interpretations…

1). Well, I see a dog, I want to drive it away, throwing a stone at it, but alas! No stone is visible nearby me. 😭…. I somehow escape the dog, and now suddenly I can sight a stone, which could have been used to drive away that dog😡😡😡

2). A child, of just 2 is looking at the rear side, riding on his dad's shoulders. Dad stops a couple of feet away from a huge statue/carving, and tells his kid :”dear look here….see how beautiful this is!!!”

The kid turns to look. Suddenly it faces a ‘dog’ figure, it's open mouth with shearing teeth, and a menacing eyes staring right into that child, 2 feet away. A life_size statue of a large dog! The kid, gripped by fear Shrieks aloud, and starts crying intensely. Dad realises the ‘fear’ caused by the excellent skill of the sculptor, takes a few steps back, consoles the kid “dear…dear…. It's just a stone! Not a real dog😜😂😂… don't be afraid, it CANNOT harm me or us!”. Hesitantly, the kid calms down a ‘bit’. The dad deposits that kid into his mother's arm, approaches the stone_dog, and placing his palm into its mouth says to the kid “see….it can't bite! Just a stone!” Now, the emboldened kid too “wants” to touch it, but with his dad as security 🤣.

The kid is now MISSING the dog! He sights only a ‘stone’!😓.  A kid, yet to ‘develop’ a ‘sight’/insight for the skill called Sculpture 🙏

Rare Yardsticks

 Rare Yardsticks 

Yardsticks needed for measuring mental health 

https://www.uclahealth.org/news/release/physical-health-has-its-yardsticks-mental-health-still 

Well,

I consider myself extremely fortunate, when I know for sure, who managed to possess this Yardsticks 🙏

How do SPIRITUAL Giants of Bharat ( especially ancient times) decide upon their students?

Ofcourse they do use Yardsticks 🙏 

I didn't get_to_see those Yardsticks they ‘held’. But even to know ( for sure) who has them? 😜

( Now I know where to learn from, CopyPaste or steal….😜)

I don't know why I am tempted to mention this here and now 😥 . No logical relevance. But, I have an experience of a Failure Rate of 99.94 % among some 5000 freshers I tried to volunteer during 5 to 7 years!  The point-zero-six of success is considered stupendous in the world of spirits 😓. I used the failures to learn from to devise my own crude Yardsticks 🙏. Gurus don't give up certain secrets 😭

ReAssurance

 Reassurance 

I would never have dreamt of sharing this personal experience of mine.

Even now, I am almost sure, that this piece is not going to be of any ‘value addition’ to a reader🙏

But, we all seek some kind of re-assurance, sometime or other, not even knowing wherefrom, how or when it is going to come?

I discovered even when I was just a kid, that I am a very odd type, when too many people around concurred about the oddities in me. The tone and presentation assumed a shape, to make it seem like an abnormality ( instead of ‘oddity’). This, added to the uncertainty about my finding any kind of ‘reassurance’ about my oddities.

I was asked to ‘pray’ at a temple. I could not. ( An odd argument stood in my way🙏. I could neither compromise with my_argument, nor could I think of ‘articulating’ it to those who asked me to pray 🙏.   Everyone prayed, so no scope to question them. But no answer either, to my silly koschans to myself, like “if….God has the 3 C’s as they say/glorify about God, omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, why should He wait for me to pray for granting me his charity?”)

I didn't get angry at someone doing something ‘wrong’ unto me. This was a very serious abnormality 🙏. A psychiatric disorder. Often, I get beaten up for a mischief I never did😜🤣… ( reason is, an unskilled thief, criminal gets huge popularity than a perfect one. Obviously, most crimes get attributed to the imperfect fool who gets caught too often.).  I was harmless in my mischiefs. So, I didn't try to ‘hide’ it. The ‘label’ became like an engraved title. My defect was, I used to ‘attribute’ the nature of inflicting a punishment on me, as something like ‘that is how they are!”. An ant bites, mosquito bites, scorpion stings. This elder too is of this_nature🙏…  The off-shoot of this defective way was, I don't wail, complain, protest, etc when a punishment causes injury. I don't feel ‘hurt’. Pain is very much there🙏

Perspectives differed with each individual. I was bogged by the element of “Vismay” ( wonderment, in English) at this difference in perspective 😥. Can't ask anyone about it. No idea, how to coin/frame the words, to articulate or convey my query, “why do perspectives differ with each Elder??”

1992 . I attended a spiritual program . “An Art of EFFORTLESS Living”.  The teacher suggested a list of how to deal with situations ( the mind_related aspect of it.). Once the way we ‘perceive’ a situation gets fixed in a way compatible with cosmic laws, everything else about ‘how to Live’ falls in place 😜.  Almost like some miracle! One piece of a jigsaw puzzles placed correctly and 99 other pieces just fall into its right place by itself!😳😳… 

My experience of this program was : “Hey! I had been all_along, only_this_way…!!! . The joke is, everyone around looked at me, as if I am a bit abnormal!. And now, here is somebody ‘enlightened’, who is “re-assuring” me, that I am abnormally-NORMAL!!!”

The tools and techniques attached to this program, felt like a ‘natural' thing to do as a routine! Like, we breathe naturally, isn't it? No conscious effort needed🙏😥

The best part of this program ( my oddity again, of course), was…. the ‘seeking’ on the outside receded. It grew inwards.  The money I used to spend on travel, as a part of this ‘seeking', started to get accumulated. 😜.  I didn't have to ‘save’ for the rainy day, CONSCIOUSLY 🙏. My old age is reassured financially, since I live quite ‘normally’ like other life-forms—- a need_based spending, not a wants/desire based squandering 😜.  If someone criticises me, either I will have to rectify a wrong in me with gratitude or…. it's the ‘nature' of the other to criticize me without any reason 😜🙏

See, I had already mentioned a disclaimer “no value addition” for a reader. Just a write up, about an odd, freak co_human 😜🙏

Oddly yours,

psn(28 Nov 2025)

A joke:  there was an odd colleague who ‘loved’ to sit next to me for 6½ hours daily. His request “give me any seat next to PSN, wherever he is seated, (as a part of rotation of duties excercise every 6 months ), or ….give me any seat, and allocate the next seat beside to PSN, which he too won't mind”

He used to steal my work ( vouchers I post in ledgers).  I too started stealing his work. Then he used to lock his table-drawer, while going for lunch/restRoom. The boss mocked:”locking your purse?”. And he took out his wallet, placing it on the table, said “not worried about my money. I can leave it here in the open. I lock my vouchers🙏. PSN steals it😭”. Boss stared at me😳. I shot back:”Sir, he started this stealing bijness. He steals. I merely responded. He locks. But I don't 🙏”

This colleague proved to be an oddity🙏. Like this proverb “fools rush in where the angels fear to tread!” Angels around avoid me, a freak. This dear_fool of mine, hovered around me, very Foolishly 🙏🙏🙏

My priorities

 My priorities 

🤣

Like almost anybody else, I too struggled to “get my priorities Right”, for decades 😭🙏

Then it dawned on me!  There can_be one item, in a list of priorities ( relevant to a human being), which is exclusive of all other priorities 🙏 ( meaning, this solitary priority doesn't ever conflict with any other priorities 😜.).  Damn good 👍, I told myself. 

Now, I am able to think about shifting the very foundation of my other_priorities. 

“Let the situation decide my priorities 👍🙏. I am bloody well a part of that situation 😜. That's all & that's it “.    Not that, I have accomplished this positioning of myself 😥, but, for sure, I am at_it most of the time! ( It took me decades to design and structure this software about my_priorities. It has been working well to the extent I am able to be aware of it 🙏 

What to make of it ( my experience) is entirely a subjective matter of each individual reader 🙏. Obviously, I can be of any practical help, only when there is a genuine SOLICITATION from others🙏.  Otherwise, may this blog convince a reader, to refrain from wasting their time on any of my blogs in future. I owe this freedom to my innocent readers🙏

Innocently yours,

Age 100

 Age 100

(24 nov 2025)

I received a forward today:

[24/11, 9:51 am] FORWARD: 

At 100 -Shatamanam; Life Feels Larger Than Personal Stories. Reaching 100 is not about the number of years. It is about reaching a state where you see the bigger picture. You realise that most things you worried about were not worth worrying about. People you loved mattered more than anything else. And life was always held together by something mysterious and kind. At 100, one becomes less of a “person” and more of a presence.

Essence

Our rishis did not celebrate age. They celebrated the inner shifts that age brings.

* 60, Priorities change

* 70, Peace becomes strength

* 80, Presence becomes healing

* 90, Ego becomes quiet

* 100,  Life becomes complete

Age is not declining. Age is distillation.

Thought for the Day

Growing older doesn’t reduce life. It refines it into wisdom, softness and grace.

🙏🙏

MY Response 🙏

[24/11, 10:10 am] PSN: 100 of a person has relevance to others around, not self ( due to the impact of ' Reverence ' culture/ shraddha)

For myself the ideal life span is 120( 2 cycles of the years of 60 each. )

60 is middle age( of 120). Now I ought to be compatible with nature, like the rest of all the creatures who are compatible at birth, not seeking a "protected environment called Society") and hence vaanaprastha 🙏. If, juniors around 'feel' that I can communicate my experience to them, they "choose" to honour me with a ritual Shashtipoorti, and plead "please stay back to guide us" . If that guy was found useful, the juniors honour him at the next few levels that he has_to_DESERVE, viz/namely, 70,84 and 100 .  84 looks odd, because it symbolises 1008 phases of moon by that age, where this guy is a super_specialist in imparting TECHNIQUES of handling all the phases of moon( waning/waxing) in such_a_way, that....the mind is capable of wading through the storm, navigating the_way the atman wants, not like water bodies/mental patients 🙏😥. ( Example: MULTI_sail ships sail the way that captain wants, no matter which way the wind is blowing)

Evidence: gruhatas, use "tri_Sandhya" where as the 4th saandhyaKaal/12 am, is used by ONLY a rogi/bhogi and Yogi, for different reasons/purposes, of their own needs😜

Placing trust

 Placing trust

😂

Whom to trust? How to trust? How_MUCH to trust? Why to trust(😜)? Where(situation) to trust?

What is trust?( Contra_distinguished from ‘belief' 😓😥….  Why do we have a ‘BLIND-belief’, when…. A belief itself is invariably blind?😂)

I don't want to remind ‘about’ faith and confuse any further 🙏

“A wise enemy is better than a foolish friend” ( a saying/adage) 2 examples to explain.

1.Rama instructed his brother Lakshmana to undertake a ‘crash_course’ in administration ( IAS cadre) from Ravana ( an enemy, about to die in a few hours, fallen fatally wounded in the war against Rama), in a story “Ramayana”.  Trust placed in a wise enemy 🙏 

2. in A fictional story, a king placed trust in a monkey ( foolish friend), and slept after a heavy lunch. Mid_day_siesta. The friend, that monkey, was extremely loyal🙏. A fly was buzzing on the face of that king. The monkey waived away that fly, non-stop busily, to allow the king to snore peacefully. Then the fly ‘sat’ on the king's chest👍. Monkey felt “a chance to get rid of this nuisance (fly), and picked up the heavy sword of that king, lying beside, slashed at that fly, seated on the king's chest👍.  Now, the king is NEVER going to wake up😜.

We ‘place’ trust in the hands of a stranger, quite helplessly, often. That auto_driver without verifying his driving licence, our ‘life’ in his hands, we place. A doctor. A vakil. Our children we place into the hands of a teacher, 6 hours daily, for ten years 😜. 

Bank's acquire a Fidelity Insurance, against a cashier 😓. ( Most cashiers are not aware that the bank's trust in them is insured 😜).

This happened to me: the doctor prescribed an injection. The nurse outsourced the task of poking the hypodermic needle to a sweeper ‘boy’ . He poked the needle, pushed the medicine, and walked off . I stared AGHAT 😳😳. I went to the chief doctor “ Sir, I am not complaining 🙏. Please understand. I am reporting for your benefit only. That nurse is delegating her_task to a sweeper boy. You are an MBBS🙏. Even I can visualise the consequences if…..a) that injection was meant to be intra-venous? b)I was a chronic diabetic with poor clotting of blood? c)my  7 layers of skin were stiff, and the muscles were stiff, needing a vigorous rubbing at the injected hole, to spread the medicine quickly? d)the piece of cotton was INDISPENSABLE to avoid infection through the punctured hole? f)etc”....   That doctor realised, he has lost the battle, looking at my weaponry itself 😜…. irrefutable arguments! He mumbled a “sorry + thanks”.  This doctor misplaced his trust into an irresponsible nurse 🙏

Perception levels are critical and crucial, when we try to ‘guess', while placing a trust in the other. 

Spiritual giants, when trying to impart their experience, demonstrate the HIGHEST human POSSIBILITY in picking a trust_Worthy disciple 🙏 … Other 4 or 5 types of teachers can afford to dilute a little, the norms of trustworthiness of their ‘students’( not disciples😜… A student needs studiousness, where as a disciple needs discipline of highest_order🙏

Testily yours (😥),

Unison within us

 Unison within us

Like “charity begins at home”, Unison factor also, I think, starts within me🙏. 

There is distinction between each limb, organ, muscle, etc in my physiology, despite similar ‘features’ of a few ‘pairs’ like eyes, nostrils, ears, hands, legs, lungs etc.

Psychologically, physiologically, biologically or even spiritually, the ‘pairs’ are paired splitting vertically.😂

A joke about ‘brain’ I came across was “my brain has 2 sides, left and right. The left has nothing right in it and the right has nothing left in it”🤣🤣🤣…. Though just_a_joke, it happens to point towards femininety and masculinity, emotions and logic, where we humans struggle to persuade them to work in Unison 🙏😥😥 ( spiritual bijness aims at achieving this unison).

Like any kid, I too wondered. Only that, the items I wonder about are a bit off-track. One such was “🤔🤔 how does this bus_conductor manage legibility in numerals, when he scribbles the ticket number in the tiny boxes of his “trip-sheet”?? 😳.  The bus is moving. Standing itself is unsteady for me, though I hold the bars to avoid falling. This man, stands with his hips rested on the top edge of a nearby seat, uses left palm to hold the sheet, and his right palm holds a pen, to scribble the numbers !!! Flawless shapes of numerals. 🙏😳😳

I tried it at home, while walking gently. No writing pad, and only a fold in the sheet to avoid the point of pen piercing a hole😜. I failed!

Then it dawned on me! Look at him ‘carefully'! He joins the 2 edges of his palms. Elbow loosely held, shoulders loose, hips loose. These ‘loose’ items serve as shock-absorbers! Allow a fall to collapse loosely, and lesser chances of fractures, ligament tear, twitch in nerves etc. The palms work in Unison!!!

I tried this now👍. I can even ‘dance’ while writing. 🤣🤣

Emotions don't obey any logic.

Logic doesn't even “know” what an emotion is.( A.I. or robotics reached a dead-end, without any grasp of emotions 🙏)

Within us, we oscillate between logic and emotions 😜

Spiritual techniques are deployed to invoke the logic and emotions, at will, and very CONSCIOUSLY! ( please see…

 Which of these is malfunctioning in the inmates of mental health home? 🙏) And yet, we miss the training into emotional stability in our school syllabus 😥. ( Even well qualified teachers are unable to steady their emotions within them, often 🙏).

Once “Unison” is fully functional inside us, within us, we can think of establishing a unison with our best_partner in our life( relationship might be different each time… parents, kids, spouses, friends, colleagues etc).

Ancient Bharat had reached peak levels of UNISON, and therefore the baffled invaders of all kinds, rulers, businesses, religious invaders etc. This mystifying unison in diversities of all imaginable forms, is ‘today’ referred to by the word “Hinduism”. Stupid word🙏.  “Irreligious Hinduism” might dilute the stupidity. The scientific word is “sanatan dharma “, because it is the adherence to cosmic laws, which facilitates unison. Diversity is at our very roots🙏 if we look at our physiology.

Evidence of technological supremacy is : a scientific methodology is seen in fusing the emotions and logic in the male and female using charged energy emitted in fire, to chemically bond a pair for life time. The ritual is a wedding with fire as an invoked deity 🙏.  A superficial pairing would have sufficed for mere procreation, like the ‘live-in’ style today 😜.  Only if we are keen about the HIGHEST HUMAN POSSIBILITY, such sophisticated and super_scientific technology is required 🙏.  Chemical reaction involves heat, we know 👍. But swapping the emotional and logical capabilities within a pair( spouses), adhering to the natural design of better Dexterity at it( emotions in female and logic in male), might require self-imposed Discipline of subtle and unique kind 😜🙏🤣🤣.  Purpose and priorities while pairing a male and female was classified sensibly and scientifically in the ancient Bharat.  Now, this science itself has become almost extinct. That's why, even a religious wedding seeks “legal” divorce 😜

Unisonly yours,

Stink versus fragrance

 Stink versus fragrance 

Dunno why 😰

I take a fancy to raise very stupid doubts 😭🙏🙏🙏

Assuming that, scientifically, both the materials are equally potent to spread/pollute/affect/whatever…. the air that we breathe in a closed room, which of these 2, stink or the fragrance, is going to be sensed in a greater measure by us???  

Don't bother to research 🙏

A kid is admitted in a class where 25 students are good/positive/helpful/kind/etc & etc.  Rest of 15 are naughty, troublesome, etc. Which group would impact this kid? 🤣 Not difficult to guess. The minorities would impact. Whether this kid yields/resists either of these 2 diverse groups, is highly SUBJECTIVE. But objectively ‘negatives’ inflict more!

Good money drives bad money out of circulation ( accepted fact,🙏).  MrX has 2 currency notes of same denomination, one is badly soiled, and the other one is crisp, fresh, and new. He will pay( get rid of) using the soiled one, and keep the good note, if payment is for only one piece_worth. 

( I was a fool, and would keep the soiled one, so that it doesn't CIRCULATE further and get torn, especially, when I could deposit or exchange it at my work place, a bank. Bank gathers soiled notes and sends it back to note issuing guys, RBI in India, to incinerate it. This oddity of mine had a spill_over effect 😭. When I volunteered as a backup for spiritual programs, I encouraged freshers to dump their soiled_thoughts upon me🙏. I listen patiently, and if they seek any solution, apart from the emptying of their garbage, I also speak🙏. Otherwise, minimum offer is, they feel light👍, anti_heavy, not lumens_light😜… spiritual buffs can transmit biolumininescence too!)

“Good people suffer more “ isn't it?🤣. ( Imagine the plight of a miserable fellow, 100% honest, working at the ‘usually’ corrupt govt offices like municipality, courts, income tax, police, etc? His isolated_honesty is a nuisance to others 😡. Whereas “a single rotten fish can spoil the whole basket of fresh fishes” they say👍 ….who “they” are I don't know, but everyone accepts this adage)

How to preserve anything that is good,..... a fragrance, honesty, positivity, circulation of good currency, etc… is the question 🙏 ( “habits die hard” 😜.  Meaning, or IMPLYING, there is no such thing as good_habits. It is merely a “usage” to refer to ‘conscious’ practicing of positivity list_of_items)

Positively yours,

Epic stories

 Epic stories 

🤣

The best part of the desi epic stories ( like Ramayana and Mahabharata) is, even a kid ‘feels’ easy to understand, interesting and enjoyable repeatedly 👍

The “example” in my primary school’s maths text book was always easier than the set of 10 others given as “excercises” at the end of the lesson. My classmates agreed with my misconception “author is a clever fellow, he picks easiest “sum” to use as his-example, and dumps all the tough ones on me 😭”

Only when I grew up, ‘lived’ vicariously through those epic stories, I realised that the concepts hidden in it are of UNFATHOMABLE depth🙏….

I even “tried” to find out whether I am the only-fool around to feel like this? I asked a few queries like….

a)did you know, the numerals designated as “mystic” in maths, is seamlessly interwoven in the 2 epics, Ramayana and Mahabharata?( 8 & 9)

b)did you know that there is a very fundamental difference between the two heroes “Rama and Krishna”, as narrated in the two epics?

c)do you know, the sharp contrast in their very ‘format’( design, structure, software) between the two ‘avataars’ of Rama and Krishna? And for a very very good reason?

d)what is the uniqueness in Rama as an incarnation, which is not there in the other 9 forms?

e) ….. like these, few more, “etc’s”

🤣 I picked those ‘aspects’ which the narrators( for a heavy fee) omit to describe or dwell upon 🙏

I couldn't find anyone “happy” about even listening. ( As if I was indulging into the sadism of asking them to look at the end_product of a delicious dish, in the toilet and asking them to explain its composition 😭🙏) 

Anyway, I didn't regret my ‘crooked mind' asking stupid koschans like “why did that maths book’s author reserve easy problems for himself as examples in text and dump the burden some ones on me, for excercise?”  Life is the excercise and epics are the examples🙏

Exemplarily yours,

CopyPaste versus innovation

 CopyPaste versus innovation

A new situation arises.

Today's mind is already busy, looking for CopyPaste solutions to solve the situation. 

Place any damn thing in the pressure cooker, just allow a dozen more whistles to blow! That damn thing gets mashed👍🤣🤣. ( We shut the doors to the information regarding: consequences of eating undercooked pigeon pea/toor_dal, over years, misconstruing the mashed pulse to be also_well_cooked.) 

Programmers very routinely CopyPaste earlier 'codes' of a different software, if they sight the slightest similarity in the GiGo expected in this-new-software ,😜

Physics class in 7th.

Dispersion of light. That glass prism example. CopyPaste the words, get a decent “cut_off” marks, do well in the commercial world, forget about the dispersion of light ( nobody was ever asked to explain it after going to a ‘higher’ class, college etc. exception is: genuine PhD with research, very quietly re-visit the particles of charged energy called light, and realise what they missed in 7th class at school, despite Full_marks for that bit_koschan/question 🙏😓

What about more subtle forms of energy? 🙏. 

Ancients, happened to plant “ability for Reverence “ as a prime_need in their kids. 

Consequence? Other needs of material words receded to a back_bench. Wants & desires( usually the manure for negatives, seldom got a vacant space to occupy in the mind). That kid is now in a state of readiness, to identify, recognise and realise the subtlest gross form of energy “prana/life” and evolve further.  He becomes adept at looking, seeing, observing, beholding, and perceiving the reverential people around him( dispersion, dissipation of pranic energy out of spiritually Evolved people….. getting noticed easily 🤣😜🙏🙏🙏….  We today, use the less popular, lesser efficient “Kirlian photography” to explore something, that could_have been a factory_fitted accesory, part of original equipment, body!😜🙏.  So? Worth learning the “CONCEPT” of dispersion of light,....a light example for that tender age😜🙏)

Dreamy life

 Life is a dream.

Yes.

And a dream is unreal ( it's a virtual reality, yes too)

While inside the dream, no escape from its reality.

We can't stop the dream, nor can we realise it, while inside it😓

"inextinguishable" by us 🤣

There is a subtle difference between these two dreams.

The power of discrimination 🙏

While inside life, we can 'realise' it's true nature experientially.  Till then, mind can only 'conjure' ideas about it, and get further stuck into it, more inextricably 😜. 

Once that experience dawns, the dream of life gets resolved into an ultimate freedom, with a beautiful choice too. Enjoy continuing life, or just drop it to merge into the very source of it🙏

Sanatan Dharma Virus

 Sanatan Dharma virus

Even today, the word Dharma is in ‘vogue’ ......but……but….. our minds have forgotten to ASSIGN the correct_attribute, which was CONSCIOUSLY assigned in our ancient Bharat 🙏

1.“Do you think this place is a dharamshala? 😡😡” (A popular expression, which a growing child would infer, as a negative word, to be used to scold someone exploiting some benefit as a “freebie” 😂)

2.Dharam_kanta ( a shop where an accurate weighing ‘balance’ is used, where anybody can ‘check’ the ‘real’ weight of things purchased, especially GOLD ornaments, where, even a milligram less matters!🙏”

3.Dharam_sankat 😂 How can a sacred concept ‘become' a SOURCE of sorrow/difficulty( sankat, sorrow? ).  The usage is when someone is morally compelled to go against a loved person 😥

4. ( Few more such….. so, “etc, etc”)

When a mind REGISTERS such uses of the word “Dharma”, how do we expect our mind to ‘appreciate’ the Sanctity in the phrase “sanatan dharma”? ( The software inside our mind working in a “background” is bound to Dismiss the importance in the concept latent in the word Dharma.

Obviously, Dharma relates to laws which are not MANUFACTURED by a human mind 🙏. It is beyond man_made laws & rules. “Nature” works/operates as per what we tried to ‘label it as Dharma'( unwritten set of concepts pertaining to the whole brahmaand/universe). The purpose of man-made laws are for some kind of orderliness in the society.  

Example: “We” laid a rule like “do not throw a banana peel on the pathway”. This, helps/prevents us from the consequences of disobeying nature's Gravity laws!😥 . We skid, fall and break a bone, stepping carelessly on that banana skin. 

Gravity is applicable only where the components of what constitutes a planet, aggregates collectively, it's own nature of polarising other molecules towards itself, in proportion to the mutual affinity within those molecules! A deep understanding of the nature of these molecules, paved the way to energise...those loosely packed molecules to increase their mutual affinity and comply with gravity in a greater Measure 🙏 . Chants, riding on certain kind of thermal_energy, enabled another kind of energy in the form of ‘vibes’ to induce “rain”. The ‘key’ was, the chants were composed in a particular set of sounds which were discovered to be in CONFORMITY with Quantum laws 🙏. Sanskrit is the language for generating such powerful vibes🙏. The COMPLEXITY involved in acquiring a thorough_grasp on such highly intricate technology has…. perhaps……dissuaded the modern mind from exploring/reviving the technology. Instead, we seek comfort in dismissing it( the technology) as a blind_belief. We don't mind the HIGHLY expensive alternative of cloud_seeding, using a polluting machine like aeroplane 😜. ( Judicious excercise of discretion depends too heavily on “best use” of power of discrimination, already available in humans as an embedded software 🙏)

A joke now!

An elderly lady surprised me this week, standing at gate, begging "please do some DHARMAm"...😳

( Oops! "Dharma" she said🙏. For a moment, a joke occured, though I didn't spell it out to that innocent, harmless lady🙏.  To an arrogant beggar, I can try saying "sir/Madam,  my Dharma is dengue virus, malaria virus, as per my elected neta. I shouldn't spread that virus to you 🙏... It is tamilnadu")

Very rarely (nowadays) a beggar at gate uses the accurate ancient word "Dharma" for begging 🙏(" please do Dharma", the beggar would say!🙏)

It is 'the' Dharma/duty, of a 'have' wala to share with the 'have_not' wala, something out of NATURAL resources ( it belongs to the society, not any individual). A beggar asks for food as a Dharma( ancient times, no currency involved, and I can't manufacture food, nature does it 🙏)

Such stupid koschans/questions don't come alone 🙏😭😭

They bring along a host of unwelcomed irritants. 

 Like, a)Why should I? b)what if I get exploited? c)what about reciprocity by the other? d)how do I handle the inadequacy of recognition from the other e) bla-bla 

Endless spate of negativity nourishing thoughts😥

Then, a teacher asked :”do you nurture a coconut tree only because it yields nuts, or does it yield nuts BECAUSE you nurture it?”

Okay, gotcha 👍…..but, I thought (asking my stupid koschans was disallowed in that session, so I just ‘thought'):”heck! The tree stands there quietly, so also does a tiffin box at a crowded place!😥.  Gourmet warns me “do not touch UNIDENTIFIED objects like a tiffin box, at public places, it might explode!”( this is what we did to ourselves! Spreading mutual mistrust. As yet, I can trust that tree🙏😓)

But, the story didn't end there. “Tree” became an example ( humans, as example of ‘trustworthiness’ is, of late, a bit in short_supply😜)

Lesser ‘explained’ concept about that coconut tree, is what was going to get into me as an embedded software 🙏

The art of reversing. 😜🙏🙏🙏

“Being, becoming and having” ( instead of the stressful, troublesome, hypertension-causing, and defective way of “Wanting to have, and therefore struggling to become and therefore ‘being a person, of a particular way” 

That's it 😂 

Being yours,

Post script ( only for those, who are interested to read further)

My understanding:

2 ways of living:

1). I like to ‘have’ ( a long list… money, comforts, respect, recognition, power, fame, ofcourse health, joy and that damn thing called ‘peace of mind'). In order to have all of these, I slog to ‘become' something. Having become a “so & so”, next tougher thing is to keep maintaining myself as ‘being of some type's! ‘.   I invite endless problems in life.

2). I decide to ‘be’ in a particular way! ( That's what that damn coconut tree does. No matter if someone takes care of it or it is destined to get stuck on the shores of a desolate island, it has decided to ‘be’ a nut_yielding tree🙏.  If nobody cares, it yields lesser, smaller and impoverished nuts. If someone cares, out of his_need, it yields more quality nuts. Tree has zero tension. Only the caretaker takes the 100% burden of care, stress, tension, etc,etc 😂

Simple, crisp and clear 🙏. I am going to be “like this”!  It is upto the other to bother to know me correctly, the way I am. No matter if I rot and perish, or….I am patronised out of the other's need, choice and love🙏.  Tiffin box is not bothered whether it explodes or gets refused + defused after a long time. A diamond lying burried a kilometre  right_beneath that tiffin box, undiscovered is also not bothering. Tree gets noticed 👍

( Side effects surprised me!  😳😳😳. MayaMadam, mother_nature, recognised me!!!  The tiny speck of 0.0001% of synchronicity that crept into me over decades of practicing the second one, “being—>becoming —->therefore having, works flawlessly, infallible!  Spirit, the life energy ticking in me, decided to share its own joyousness with ‘me’, the fellow stuck into an_identity, and waiting for moksha😜…..😳🙂. 

My_____that is it___now!)

Chanakya was just a ‘nobody', found crushing the ‘roots’ of a thorny_shrub on the road, so that it won't grow again and injure travellers 🙏. He was ‘relocated’ to the king's cabinet of ministers. If unnoticed, still he would have been the ‘same’ Chanakya 👍

Our Yardsticks

 Our Yardsticks 

Sage Patanjali ( author of Yoga Sutras) demonstrated the worth of his_yardsticks, when he valued the ‘time’ of his readers, belonging to posterity 🙏.  The two opening verses are the evidence. First one defines the concept and purpose of the book ( just 2 words😂, and interpretation by later Giants, runs into pages!). Second one provides a litmus test. It decides whether to continue reading or to trash it🙏

We as ordinary people do not think of evaluating our Yardsticks ( parameters) while using it to evaluate, measure  and judge others, things and situations. ( I tried to visualise a funny situation, where I am asked to judge a vocalist of classical music, without realising that I am stone deaf😂. The deception about my deafness might have been due my dexterity at lip_reading🙏.  Now, my yardstick is lip movement. And when that vocalist touches the peak of high_pitch of a note(aalaap), I would write down “that speaker struggles to utter even a mono syllable 😓”

The famous novel ‘Hotel’ by Arthur Hailey ( if I remember right), highlights the Yardsticks used by ‘staff’ when a rich man, tried to search for a proper fellow to head that huge hotel, by evaluating the Yardsticks possessed by staff, to judge their customers. He dresses himself poorly, feigns sickness, etc. Staff try to ‘avoid’ giving service, apprehending the inability of that ‘poor’ to pay the bill. Hero, takes risk, but with prudence and caution. Hero is a junior staff. The poor+sick visitor buys the hotel and appoints this hero as the boss.

Japan, I heard, uses “empty mind” as a crucial parameter to appoint a very high profile business head for its global corporates!

Trust and perception LEVELS decides the level of ability to discriminate and thus the FINE_ness of our Yardsticks. ( A vernier caliper can measure a fraction of one tenth of an inch or centimetre. But mind trying to ‘measure’ abstract values, concepts, trust, love, affection, reliability, in others, things or our own potential…. the Yardsticks aren't always ‘steady’ 😂😜

Spiritual Yardsticks???

Damn simple ( ofcourse not at all easy).

Just the intensity & focus of ‘life energy’ in us at any given point of time. 

Immeasurably yours,

Post_script_teaser:

I asked a few ‘high profile’ recruiters of ‘plum jobs’, who can afford to be outspoken with me with their answers 🙏

“ What exactly do you look for, in a prospective candidate during your 6th round of interview? Paper credentials, experience, etc are already verified well. 👍. Okay, a hint : the ‘thing’ that you OUGHT_to look_for, is the same thing needed to be looked_for, while ‘deciding upon’ a life_partner/spouse 😜 “

Rarely, I get a PRECISE name of that yardstick. Only thereafter, the koschan/question arises, about the efficacy of that_yardstick 🙏
