Emulation

 Emulation

When movies came into our lives, kids took a natural liking to “emulate” the hero/heroine.  It never worked 😜.  But kids still choose 🙏😜

A joke:

Assuming that there is a God who grants boon to EVEN good peepals/people( I say this because, my Gods, as per documented history were very selective 😭. They granted boons only to villains 😜. He himself had to incarnate to rectify his repeated_follies over 4 long yugas! Dasavatara).....

The unlikely God( granting boon to ‘good’ fools) offers to all married couples “ You can acquire a Xerox/photo_copy of all the qualities of your spouse, which ever way—male to female or female to male, your mutual choice!”

Couples will find themselves confronting a need to face honesty, for the first time. Because, today's honesty is only about our mutual dishonesty 24/7😜. Any real honesty is purely coincidence 🙏.  “Which of us has better qualities and fewer bad qualities?”( Xerox copy, mind you!😜

Accessories are not a part of Original equipment 🙏. 

So, needless accessories are going to be a burden!( Honesty, sincerity, etc are “likely “ to be a burdensome accessory, if I am destined to be a clerk at certain offices like police, municipality, RTO, tax, court, registration….even politics 😓)

If I am going to choose qualities from Krishna or Rama, I prefer krish . He has magic, witchcraft, yoga, and all such supernatural powers as qualities 🙏… I can then, afford to_be a good_for_nothing like_fellow 😜 .   Emulating Rama is relatively better, easier and practicable because he was just a normal human, facing all kinds of tragedies, depending on all kinds of outsourcing etc🙏. That's the cost of being “Good” 😭

Realism:  we try to make a machine Emulate our intelligence ( A.I. technology 🙂) instead of emulating better humans among us 😜

Very unfortunately, spirituality doesn't allow copying in examination. 99% marks are same as 1% marks. Pass mark is only 100% 😓🙏.  So, emulating is not going to help. Use the experience of others, not their_intelligence. 

Paradox in spirituality is, I am unique till I do not attain. And after that, I don't exist, it's only we/Us.  Spirit doesn't need emulation. It is already complete in itself, awaiting to rediscover itself 🙏 

Nothing unlike yours,

Clarity in thoughts

 Clarity in thoughts 

That ‘half_way’ people….on their way to mental health home…. Probably, they serve as an example for lack of clarity.  It is not about confusion, muddle of incoherent thoughts etc. These are mere consequences of lack of clarity.

We often forget to look at ignorance of a kid of say 2 years old. Even that kid displays indecisive signs jumping from one toy to another, when given a dozen toys at a time 😜

Three job offers at a time. Enough to snatch away the ‘peace of mind'. That youth forgets the torture of ‘no job’ till then 😂, a different kind of ‘no peace of mind’. 

A buffalo well fed, looks utterly peaceful. Something very basic ! Only we humans ‘seek’ peace as if it is the Ultimate thing to achieve 😜

Spirituality starts only when a person is Atleast a bit peaceful 😂….   Reason is, we are trying to delve into something beyond our sensory levels of perception 🙏.  Whatever ‘little’ peace dawns due to the mega_efforts( by whatever name, but related to the spirit within) gets translated into a better utilisation of the very same sensory levels of perception 😂. Clarity is related to each level of our perception, using and transcending the sensory levels!

I heard a small story which was meant to teach me how to perceive deeper. But later I realised its impact on clarity too😓🙏

A, a fellow lost his camel in a vast sandy desert. He asked every passerby, and those whom he met during the search.

One fellow B, asked this A…

1)is your camel blind in one eye? (Yes!!!)

2)is your camel with 1 tooth missing (yes! Yes! Yes!)

3)was your camel laden with sugar bags on one side & wheat grains on the other?( Yes+yes+yes !!!👍👍 replies ‘A’)

B says now “sorry, I didn't see your camel”

A is furious now. Such accurate details, impossible without ‘seeing’ the camel, surely he is bluffing.

A got dragged to a chieftain ( quasi-judicial Judge as well 😜, in those days)

Judge asked for justification of knowing such_details, Without having seen the camel 🤔

B explained ( to escape beheading): Sir, the grass on one side of a path near the small pool in the desert remained untouched. Only a partially blind camel would leave fresh tender grass untouched! The bitten grass leaves had a pattern of protruding bit, and only a missing tooth allows that bit to escape a ‘bite’. Ants were gathering around one side of the path, for the strewn sugar granules that fell, and now I got curious about counter_balancing weight of the other side of its hump_back and noticed the inconspicuously hiding wheat grains blending with colour of brown sand.  I could “guess”/deduce…….only a camel that got away freedom from his master can leave such trails🙏

Story over!

Later, as an adult, I struggled to translate these skills of observation at my work place to ‘find out ‘ the culprit among thousands of ‘vouchers’ causing mismatch of balances among books of accounts 😓🙏🙏🙏. Normal ‘looking’ didn't work! Extra_vision was needed.

My experience:

Chanting incessantly “I am looking for a difference/error/mistake” was a huge hurdle to the very effort of ‘looking'. I should look for an error. But I can ‘see’/sight it only if I behold it to observe the subtle error, so as to perceive it with a sense of Discrimination used discretely with judiciousness!  Clarity is needed. A calm , silent, or atleast a blank mind is needed!

A tiny story of a “Judge”( demonstrating excercise of discretion judiciously, using sense of Discrimination, when sensory levels of eyes+ears did_not_offer that_CLARITY 😜😂)

2 moms claimed a baby to be theirs!

Judge is kaanfused(confused! No DNA test in those days 🙏😭).

Long drawn arguments, only Adding to the confusion.

Ultimately, that Judge, a lucky fellow to afford clarity, hit on an idea, and said : cut the baby into 2 halves, give each half to both each👍

One mom implored 😭🙏🙏🙏 : please do not cut the baby. Let the other lady have the baby 🙏( at least, my baby remains Alive!)

Judge: this lady is the true Mom ! She is ready to sacrifice her claim in favour of the baby's life🙏

Clarity guides Wisdom trying to make its journey into my pint_sized tiny brain🙏.

( I was asked to wear glasses at 13. Short sight. I kept cleaning the lens oftener than necessary to ensure “clarity” of vision. Decades later, I realised that, lens can give only sight, not vision or insight😓. Now, I use glasses only when needed, since I am a retired fellow 😂. Enjoying the clarity to some extent, having worked hard for it all along! This ‘clarity’ to my utter surprise, affords me “time management” a bit effortlessly 🤔😥. Let me not complicate this Co-relation of clarity with time_management, involving realignment of priorities in a real_time_basis🙏👍. Youngsters have Outsourced it to A.I. technology, of late! I am stuck inextricably in my O.I.---organic intellect….or original??? Dunno!😓… Whatever 🙏😥)

Clearly yours,

psn (26 Dec 2025)

Postscript: mercifully, this thought didn't ‘prelude’ my mind 🙏. It occurred only as a postscript!

“A blog about “clarity”, should atleast be_with some clarity, isn't it?😜” 

I escaped this thought, which would have become a functional_hurdle in my blog, blocking clarity of my mind. 

Now, it is a “worry” only for the reader, not me🙏😜.

Objective thoughts Versus Subjective ones

 Objective thoughts Versus Subjective ones

😂

Now, why such_a_crazy topic?😜

My experience works, so….why not ‘share’ it? ( Let my readers decide to read, try etc or dump, trash it)

Any “grounds” to justify? YEP 👍…. Whole of USA progressed significantly, atleast until 3 decades ago, Because, half of the senators patronised Objectivist_epistemology ( shaped by Ayn Rand, for easier grasp😜🙏).

Thoughts become words, then actions, and actions become destiny🙏

Our perceptions mirror back to us as our_thoughts!

Our present day ‘tendency’ of defensiveness, owing to declining trend in mutual trust, promotes subjective orientation in our thoughts.

Example: I recall a negative incident like, “I met with an accident and got my leg broke”... It's a fact. Subjective tendency hurries to add “Oh, that was because the other guy drove his car carelessly against me!”( May be a fact as_well🙏 …but how does it help to promote positive outlook in me????  Had I avoided this second thought of ‘blame game’ , I give birth to a Possibility of “what next can I do with my broken leg??”  Outside situation was NEVER in my control🙏 . But I always had a choice of what I can/should do about it👍😜🙏

Slowly, this Subjective tendency/habit/trait in me can be dissolved and that “default cursor” of my thought_process can be shifted to Objective oriented track/path/etc, while ‘retaining’ the fault-fixing/subjective thing as a potential_only, to be invoked very CONSCIOUSLY, as per need, like in a court_room, to prove that “I am not guilty”😜😜😜

“Why did you not attend my wedding?” I can give 100 very_valid reasons to that friend 👍

“Why did I attend (despite odds)?” Only 1 reason —-i wanted to make it, come what may👍

“Why did you have to walk 11 miles to reach a school in your kid days?”  I can blame my dad's poverty Or, I can say “I wanted to get literacy, so did my dad, despite our adverse situations”.

Every year floods in a river swept away homes and lives on its banks, 1000 years ago. Most “minds” chose to think “floods are the reason 🙏👍. Can't help”. One fool stood there DEFIANTly, and said “no use blaming floods. I will stop the water😡👍”. He gave birth to a possibility to conceive a river_dam!!! Maybe his great_grand-son only could complete it🙏. But he reversed the hierarchy of negativity about an “apparently insurmountable” task 😜

Why not spend a few milliSeconds, to look at our thoughts?

Why not try to Dissuade ourselves ( secretly, privately, quietly, clandestinely, inconspicuously, hideously, whatever 😓).. …from additions like ‘because’ ‘due to’ ‘since’ etc….unless we are facing a fact_finding_investigative_authority???? 

Did I take a Vow, like “I shall live and die as a stupid, my entire this_life_time?” ….or…do I strive to enjoy facing challenges provided by the outside situation to make my life into an “Action packed block-buster thriller movie”? 😂… ( A 3 hour movie, hero/heroine had a luxurious, effortless smooth life, birth to death. Where is the ‘story’ to make it a good movie??? Isn't it a MahaBoring movie? Thriller means, hero faces all possible extreme situation till 2 hrs & 55 minutes. Last 5 minutes, everything ok, Happy ending. If it is a tragic ending, more popular movie 😜. )

Subjective suffixes, to our thought process, in a desi way of looking, only cements our possibility of becoming a Bhoot_aatma ( after death, waiting for untying our knots for 100+ lifetimes more, or more 🙏😭)

Choice was mine! I chose objectivity! No regrets thus_far!

Objectively yours,

Diffusing situation

 Diffusing situation 

😜

Heard of a squad who diffuse a bomb/explosive?

I watched them at work, in a movie.

They pronounce each TINY gesture as_they_do, like “now… iam gonna snap that blue wire and the yellow wire together “( a fellow listening to it in a van at a distance, is tense. Either a heave/sigh_of_relief “phew”, …..or a “boom”. Both the Audio recordings(phew or boom) serve as a “text book example for the next guy, staking his neck 🙏)

Do we speak at least within? Atleast a non-verbal thought about what we are going to do, in our Routine life???  Nah! 😡 ( We ain't not going to defuse any damn explosive ever …. then why the hell that “look before you leap” wala crap?😡)

Except the kids, who are FULLY taken care of, being a kid….all of us are in some kind of “situation” all our waking hours 🤣 

“Now….we have a SituaShun here” says a cop in USA on his walkie_talkie. And it alerts a head, with a headphone at the other end.  

Are we not “dealing” with “situations” all the time?

Wake up at the dawn ( situation: empty the bladder, clean the filthy mouth, satiate the stomach with hot coffee to isolate a download_situation in bowels 😜)

Reaching workplace on time, a situation.

Dealing with an ever_thirsty boss, a situation.

Buying groceries, a situation of an empty kitchen.

Picnicking, is a situation to diffuse the garbage of tension created by weeklong situations.

Any routine work we do, can be traced to a situation we had_to_deal 🙏😓 ( the doctor creates a situation, forcing open my eyelids, holding the GLARE of a powerful torchlight and says "guy_is_dead", if I don't respond to the situation defensively 😜🙏)

And then, our thoughts 😥 ( more of a ‘situation’ than a curiosity based one!)

“Health” care centers are fooling us, when ‘relief’ for a dis-Ease is all_they_provide, not a cure…. Health? Nothing to do with ‘health'.

Question is, “is it going to help us, mimicking that bomb_defuse expert, while dealing with situations?”( Yep 👍… we are gonna IMPROVISE in dealing with the next_bomb, which feigns like a chocolate all the time 😜)

My earliest memory of a “very bad handling of a situation” was when I was in my 4th class at school.

Situation: bell rang at school, and I had to get out of the premises ( peon waits to lock up the rooms, and then gates)

I failed to be as-alert as the guy in the bomb squad. Unaware, I was…. 

Result?...  My legs used its muscle memory and carried my body towards my previous rented_house. 100 metres later I jolted “oops! Wrong direction 🙏 😭. 

My parents have moved us to a newly rented place, in an opposite direction from school!😓”...  I walked back, those 100 metres, and now,  on a “productive” activity of my legs, means, right_direction.😜👍

“Why did you join this Program?” ( A column in the questionnaire to be filled by participants for a yoga program). I looked at it , like I looked at a_situation ! How to diffuse with a response that won't blow up my head? My peace of mind?  ‘Bah!’ I told myself, this time I am gonna remove all my ‘safety gadgets’ in my mind and am gonna be stark_naked in my reply🙏. Tired of this ‘defensive posturing’ all the time!

I wrote ‘the’ truth!( Whatever was true for_me 😜. It worked 🙏 😜)

What followed after the program cured me of my defect. Now, I enjoy diffusing situations in my routine, like that innocent kid does, when given a ‘new’ toy! That kid dismantles the toy, if the elder doesn't help. But I am not ignorant like the kid, anymore 🙏….  Response_abled/responsible.

Unawareness, is a situation too ( at least for me🙏). If I become fully aware, dat’s gonna be my ultimate liberation 🙏 . Therefore spirituality/अतः योगानुशासनम। (as Patanjali tolded/told in his first verse)

Diffusingly yours,

Test of stupidity

 Test of stupidity 

We have been electing only corrupt and criminal leaders to govern us🙏

Very consistently 👍( for decades)

We seldom respect honesty ( an honest employee struggles to survive in any government organisation, police department, tax office, judiciary, hospital etc. Even a barber struggles to survive with honesty.

Are we not stupid, when honesty proves to be a stupidity in our society?

Cosmic laws are never at the mercy of humans. These laws reward honesty flawlessly 😜. The popular name for cosmic laws is sanatan dharma. And therefore the adage, “dharmo rakhshati Rakshita”( too brief, for a stupid mind to comprehend its meaning 😜)

Test of stupidity: when/whenever the_situation becomes Extreme, stupidity gets thrown out First. ( Who ever wears the garment called stupidity, obviously gets thrown out along with the stupidity 🤣). The only infallible Yardstick of intellect ( absence of its opposite, called stupidity) is an extreme situation. 

Ram_Rajya was all about absence of stupidity among the PEOPLE of that society 🙏 

Kaliyuga is all about extreme intolerance towards intellect and utmost patronizing for stupidity. Democracy suits corrupt and criminals when people are mass_scale stupid 😜 

Highest human POSSIBILITY, called spirituality is pursued intensely when that individual is at the peak of? Stupidity or intelligence? I leave it to the readers to guess for themselves 🙏. Spirituality is 100% private & personal, and therefore a choice doesn't affect anyone else.

Wisely yours,

My limitations

 My limitations 

Any miniscule growth in me, is owing to my urge to find out my_limitations.

(Even a baby ‘deals’ with its own limitations all its waking hours, and there it stays intelligent till the temptations of ‘comfort zone” dawns into that kid's tiny brain. After that, the kid starts losing its I.Q. bit by bit 🙏)

I noticed that the most significant limitations hovers around my sensory levels of perception. All of them limit my perception. My growth pays the price. The ability to CHOOSE is the only key to break my limitations. The lock is my comfort zone.

My eyes reverse only the vertical part of the light entering my cornea. Not the horizontal light ! ( Probably why, my left hand and the left hand of the person facing me, seems on the opposite side 😜. Whereas I ‘perceive' both of us standing vertically only 😥😥😥…. So also, the blades of a fan seem rotating in anticlockwise direction while ‘facing’ it. If I view that fan standing behind it, sacrificing the breeze, I can CONFIRM that it is rotating clockwise.)

Mirrors are misunderstood by_me🙏.  It reversed all the 180° . It is my eye that failed to reverse the horizontal line left/right, while it reversed upside/down always 👍

Somehow, I got myself accustomed to the limitations of sensory levels of perception, while handling material aspects of life!  Gadgets supplemented and complemented the shortfalls. Ancients of Bharat improvised the skills of their own physiology, instead of dependency on gadgets.  Their perceptions managed to transcend the limitations with better intelligence 🙏.  

Today, I am CONSTRAINED to imitate the ancients, when I had to face the spiritual aspects of my life, and depend on their_way of transcending the ‘natural limitations’ of a human physiology 🙏

That is where the ‘mind_games’ started😜. A significant by_product in my experience of using ‘ancient technology’ for transcending limitations is….. my dependance on modern gadgets and technology is proportionately reduced! Insights are not too opaque, but blurred, and even_clear at times🙏.  

Ultimately, it is the limitations of “a mind” that needs to be transcended( whichever path, technology or gadgets). The second verse of sage Patanjali, further pinpoints the limitations of a mind 🙏

Transcendently yours,

Intangible heritage

 Intangible heritage 

I felt ‘bemused’ reading this news 🙏

News that

Atleast...... Hindus should not miss 😥🙏

Quote:

Diwali gets global honour: UNESCO adds Deepavali to Intangible Heritage list

UNESCO has officially inscribed Deepavali on its Intangible Cultural Heritage List. Prime Minister Narendra Modi says the honour celebrates India's cultural soul and timeless traditions

Deepavali, one of India’s most celebrated festivals, has received a major global honour. UNESCO has added Deepavali to its Intangible Cultural Heritage List, recognising it as a cultural treasure that must be preserved and celebrated worldwide.

The announcement was made by UNESCO on social media, calling it a new addition to the list of ‘Living Heritage’.

Soon after, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reacted with joy, saying people in India and around the world are “thrilled” by the decision. In his tweet, he described Deepavali as a festival deeply connected to India’s culture, values and civilisation.

Unquote 

Diwali has it's own value 🙏

Today's Hindus lack the perception to delve into "that original value"..

Till then, use a duplicate ( like 'china make' 😜), to Somehow appreciate a heritage of great worth. UNESCO is such Yardstick.

And I added this, to my private recipients on social media ( whatsApp)

Quote 

Exampull of such

Intangible heritage is

A mahaMantra

A mom_of_Chandass( chandas itself is greater than a mantra😜... Then, a mom_of_chandass¿?¿? 😜...    Like "mother_of_battles" phrase by Saddam Hussein?)

Unquote 

Then,

I tried to “guess”..... What OUGHT to top the list of “intangible heritage”?

I didn't have to wonder/ponder too long 😂

Right or wrong…. My guess is = “Om( a_u_m) “ ought to top🙏👍

Be_cause , this word belongs to The Only Discovered Language of this warald/world…. Sanskrit 😜, Logic? It is the only language compatible with Quantum laws! And, quantum physics applies to entire universe, not just earth! Om( or A_U_M) is the base of universe, and the only source code, to access our own SOURCE😜🙏

resourcefully yours,

Tertiary sector

 Tertiary sector 

We have really very good experts to talk about “economics”

I am sure about myself that I ain't one of them.

But then, great economists miss the emotional aspects often, unless they are better in spirituality than their supremacy in economics 🙏.

The 3 basic sectors, we know, ( since it is we–human minds–who defined them, not nature, not the cosmos, or what we call as divinity ), are primary, secondary and tertiary.  Logic and reasoning are applicable in dealing with these 3.

Primary is almost governed by nature. Secondary is driven by necessity, whereas the tertiary is flexible enough to promote evolvement of human beings basically, and for which, we also look at the betterment of the first two. 

Spirituality enhances the emotions of inclusiveness in us and therefore, it can help the ‘health’ of tertiary sector better.  ( Historical evidence can convince us, that tertiary sector developed the least, wherever the inclusiveness could_not_thrive on its own, in human beings 🙏. Desert culture couldn't afford the growth of tertiary, for obvious reasons of survival priorities owing to lack of support from primary sector. The converse is not true. Abundance in the potential for the primary sector to grow, did not guarantee the proportionate growth of the secondary and tertiary, as we can see in the primitive humans cultures where the nature is bountiful in African wilderness). 

Bharat, as a culture has set a very high benchmark of something like 42% GDP a few centuries ago, and thus providing us an opportunity to understand the importance of functional aspects of these 3 sectors, with a decisive role of tertiary sector, though the desert proves logically that primary sector decides the growth of other two😜(Chanakya, was the economist, during this brief phase).  

Certain ‘values’ held in Bharat, is still a distant dream for other cultures 🙏. An example is, we define economic growth with a term “samruddhi” ( the phrase “all round prosperity“ comes closest to translate “samruddhi” in English 🙏). Economic prosperity has milder terms in desi lingua 😜( like sampann… “wealth & prosperity”, a little less than “all round”).  

It took me a long time to grasp the “subtle” correlation between two dissimilar fields of human activities, to understand the secret of using the Yardstick of “fine arts” for measuring the level of economic prosperity of a culture 😳😳….,😥😥😥…and then “🤔🤔” wondering about it.

The Yardstick is “wherever the 64 fine_arts thrive, we can call it a culture of Samruddhi” 🙏.  ( The explanation part, is too vast to contain into the confines of a blog like this🤣🙏)

Spiritual growth holds a magical wand. It can afford a samruddhi in exclusivity of the ‘number’ game of a populace, where even the ‘bulk’ of the society is trapped heavily in the vice_grip of materialistic temptations of a mind 🙏. Bharat is a land of spiritual destination. Obviously, this ‘miracle’ of exclusivity of samriddhi can happen only here. ( My question on a form “Yahoo answers” was based on this subtle concept. The brief part of the question ran like this: “What makes Indians flourish despite obstacles like corruption, brain drain, poverty and population crisis?”

A question seeking a spiritual sense in an answer addressing the lack of economic infrastructure needed for economic prosperity 🙏. ( Secret of exclusivity for inclusiveness 🙏)

Prosperously yours,

psn(6th Dec., 2025)

Post script : Bharat is undergoing a ‘phenomenon’ presently, defying logic, when a spiritual person like Shri N.D.Modi, is spearheading as a PM, the task of Re-defining the tertiary sector of Bharat, using the ancient tools of spiritual Bharat 🙏 😜. He knows, spiritual growth is an integral part of tertiary sector, when Samruddhi is the goal, not merely economic-wealth.  ( Of course, I am entirely responsible for this statement, of mine)

Teaching skills

 Teaching skills 

I am not interested in talking about the skills.

Instead,

I wish to remind ourselves about a fact, a ground reality, needing zero efforts to get convinced. 🙏

Fact: There are people who are EXCELLENT in  their teaching skills🙏

The institutions meant to produce excellent teachers for schools , ( awarding the coveted degree certificates like B.Ed, M.Ed etc) can…..if gracious enough, draw inspiration from this real_life example 🙏)

We see young and illiterate youth willingly blowing up themselves, in a crowd of innocent common civilians. 

Intense investigation over decades have CONFIRMED that these youth who become a suicide_volunteers are…..RADICALISED by experts 🙏.   Are these experts not excellent teachers, who prepare a “mind” for a supreme sacrifice?( Look at the skill, for a moment, keeping aside for a while ,the anti_human intent, purpose, goal, aim etc of these experts…🙏)

Can we produce such excellent teachers who can shape students in a school into “beautiful minds” ??? A tiny but a mighty_significant distinction can happen. Instead of sacrificing their life for a inhuman cause, the youth will DEDICATE the same life for a noble+everlasting, ever_evolving Human cause🙏

skillfully yours,

psn(1st Dec, 2025)

My sincere apologies to the experts in radicalisation 🙏.  Please try to find a way, to forgive me for doing something unpardonable, in quoting your skills as an. Example for a diagonally opposite purpose 😭🙏🙏🙏

Co-experience

 Co-experience 

It is vital & crucial in communicating a spiritual experience 🙏

Saha-anubhooti

सहानुभूति ( sympathy, बन गया)

Where as it was "co-experience"(empathy)

A fellow is lecturing "sita got abducted by Ravana"( interesting story 🙏)

Same narrator, gets an urgent phone call... He now looks *_tensed_* ( audience,.... already anxious बेचारा, कुछ गड़बड़ हो गया होगा, he is tensed up!)

Fellow says on microphone " माफ करना 🙏, जाना पड़ेगा, मेरी पत्नी का अगवा हुआ, कोई जिहादी का काम है, गर से फोन आया"( he aborts the lecture in Ramayana.   Sita apaharan can wait 🤣)

Co-experience is enriched in the Jihadi_apaharan. Whereas, no sympathy or empathy 'generated' during mention of story🙏( I am not 'picking/pointing ' a fault. Not criticising 🙏...   Just, an imaginary example to substantiate the distinction between"emotions " in two similar narrative!).

Dilip Kumar & dev Anand..... expression is very different/ distinct 🙏.

A physics chapter by a teacher ..... can permeate/percolate, only if the teacher associates with the concept afresh, each time she teaches🙏

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,

psn

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 🙏

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 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🙏

Dreamily yours

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 🙏)

Offering Trust

 Offering Trust

🙂

Am I trust-worthy?

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,

psn(10 Nov 2025)

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 🙏

Examples, use of "sense of Discrimination"

 Examples, use of Discrimination 

“I ain't no_good “( indiscriminate use of english 😜), at teaching “how to use the sense-of-discrimination at its best. Only a Guru can teach! I am only an idiot 😭 

Example 1). Accidental use.

( To regale my readers this one)

Movie villain ( Ajit) refers to himself as “Loyen”, desi accent for Lion.

A fellow leaves a ‘hint’ while dying(“who is the culprit for my death”), which the hero reads it as “NO 17”! 😳🤔🤔.

Clueless “what can number seventeen means???”

Then a scene.

Villain throws a lavish party.

His name “LION” is displayed in a rotating neon_sign.

Hero is watching ( blank mind, hence ‘intellect’ got a golden opporChutney to function 😜).

That ‘LION’  got_seen as ‘NOI7’ when rotating neon disc turned upside down, each time🤣🤣 ( hero exclaims “Eureka” this villain did it!!!) exampull of accidentally using discrimination.

(Real life ‘loyen’. A school mate wrote to me today. He jointly organised a blood_donation at Hyderabad. 100 donors came. He is a member of “Lion's club”🙏. A “Loyen”, desi word. I wrote “100 lives going to be saved”.  Sense of Discrimination about “what best can I do with my leisure, post retirement?” . a Loyen/lion contributes for blood donation 🙏. )

Example 2) CONSCIOUSLY using it:

CopyPaste ( quote)

Kabir, a mystic poet in 15th century India, wrote in one of his couplets (in Hindi),

"Guru Govind dou khade, kaake laagoon paye

Balihari guru aapki, Govind diyo milaye."

Translated:

I face both God and my guru. Whom should I bow to first?

I first bow to my guru because he's the one who showed me the path to God.

(Unquote)

God is superior to guru, yet…???(how to use deeper sense of Discrimination, to bow firstly to the “vital” source of enlightenment?)

Example 3) absence of ABILITY to use “already available sense_of_discrimination”

( Again, a CopyPaste of a famous story)

राजा और रंक (Prince and the pauper)

The pauper, exchanging his role with a prince who looks EXACTLY like him…..

“finds” the best use for that heavy_metal_clad ‘royal seal’ …..to be good for this purpose only : “cracking nuts” 😜😂🤣🤣.

He couldn't distinguish it as “royal seal” to issue a royal Charter/command!😳

Ignorance, looks like innocence here( if readers can distinguish between the two words😜)

I shall be thankful to my creator, if a reader finds it worth, to learn ‘how to use in a more_better way, the sense of Discrimination 🙏. Logically, I know, my blogs don't inspire much😭.

Ignorantly yours,

My maths teacher

 My maths teacher.

What if I requested you to visualise sitting in your 7th class at your school, and suddenly a new teacher for your maths walks in escorted by the “princi”?

It happened to me, exactly.

The next few moments baffled me! The principal said “this is going to be your maths teacher now! You are very lucky to get such a teacher. He was teaching to post graduate students in a college. ( My eyes widened and my thoughts were “Whhhat¿? Am I ‘hearing’ it okay?”) Let me warn you, any complaint from this teacher, against any student, I will not even enquire into the complaint, but will make sure that the T.C. will not allow him to get admission into any other Good school”( precise words 😂… govt. Schools are open to any kid, not ‘good' schools)

This introduction served a ‘sacred’ purpose for me, though I wasn't mature enough to realise it's sanctity. The “worry” part never scared me, because of my chemistry then😜

This teacher never USED the text book. Other teachers might have only obviated the REFERENCE to a text book, but couldn't manage to avoid the “use” of its contents!

He caused ‘hardships’ to all the students, when the examples & homework stuff was extempore.  I was an oddity. I loved his classes🤣. While a frown precedes on the faces of most others as he walks in daily, eagerness sprouts afresh each day into me🙏

Let me quell the suspense in my readers🙏

Why did he quit teaching post graduate students and opt to teach 7th class kids?

Because,

Our society had indulged into the stupidity by then, of using very negative kind of “standards of measurement” used as tools and yardsticks for evaluation of an intellectual, highly spiritual and unimaginably dedicated teacher.”  Obviously, he failed.  Use a crooked scale to check a straight line, and that line will “fail” the test. The ugly bends in that scale will “give admissible evidence “ that this line is not alongside the scale 🤣

Each lecture was a “seminar “( if we care to examine the true meaning of the word ‘seminar’) . I don't know about others. But I found myself looking at the concept of concepts ( concept formation) when he initiated us into the”abstractions” of algebra. 🙏😂. 40 years later, I understood effortlessly ( thanks to this teacher, for laying foundation of concepts into me) when a retiree from the highest mathematical reasearch institution in India, a legend in his field, said to me, in a private chat “maths turns into a “language “ transcending it's nature as a ‘science’ after a certain level of study and deep research”  

I could “see” 40 years later, that this teacher of my 7th was in sync with the methodology of Rishis of ancient Bharat ( all the Rishis were invariably, mathematicians of the HIGHEST order🙏). 

I don't know, if the reader is able to “see” a striking semblance? A student of ancient Gurukul gets the “best” teacher possible, at the age of 7.  And here, I got a teacher, qualified to teach final year of postgraduate in maths. Only the numerals are same “7”. Otherwise, the age is too late for me, by 6 more years😭, since pristine intellect fades a little by then!

Several dozens of instances, and incidents related to this_teacher remains fresh in my memory, which can adequately substantiate the fact that he was a teacher ‘par-excellence’. ( Very soon, he was allowed to teach higher classes too, thanks to 2 other excellent teachers in maths, who cheerfully became a catalyst and communicator to the management about the worth of this genius🙏)

This is one of the rare occasions when I feel painfully aware of my inadequacy in doing justice to a blog. I don't have the ability to admire and appreciate this teacher to the level he deserves🙏

Inadequately yours,

Keeping a watch

 Keeping a watch 

 "how could you know that the sun has just set?" Asks the heroine in the movie  'Koshish', to a blind man, sitting on sea shore.

Blind says "I can smell"

( We don't have to become a blind, to learn how to smell. 😜

Question of just deepening our perception, using the same sense organs. Eyes can read "aura" if we are willing 🙏)

😂

Normally, I don't engage into prying into things that do not concern me (mind turns into a politician, when we indulge thus 😂)

Somewhere in 1993, I felt that I am seeing a dark shade prominently around a co-participant in my yoga programs. He was intensely keeping a 'watch' on me, my unprecedented growth into practices 😂. The teacher would have given 'hints' to him and another participant, both seniors to me in the first level)

I told him " I think, I see a dark shade around you. Makes sense to be more alert, atleast while driving your motorcycle 🙏" ( he didn't seem to take it seriously)

Third day, he came rushing and asked breathlessly "how is that shade now?"( He was in a hurry to leave, as well. Usually, he visits only when 'leaving hour' is flexible)

I looked at him, eyes defocused.

"A bit dull, but not yet faded out"

He said "I barely escaped a fatal collision, entirely the fault of the other😥..... How did you know?"

"I still don't know, how I knew!"I said, "it showed itself too prominently 🙏, and the dark_shades are said to be associated with something negative 😜... I just guessed"

 Keeping a "watch" is an excercise, a tool, prescribed by evolved spiritual teachers, since ancient times.

Once a seeker approached a zen master. And did a "🙏"

Zen called the chief disciple and instructed :"keep a watch on him. He will work in the kitchen" (the entrant didn't need any lessons or practices. He was now the seniormost disciple, with just a "waiting period" to explode into enlightenment 🙏😜😜😜...  Keeping a watch on him was the_most important excercise for that hitherto_seniormost student!)

Watchfully yours,

Nature's blessings

 Nature's blessings 

All we need to do, to become eligible for receiving nature's blessings is to undo our wrong choices to the possible extent. 

Benedictions, on the other hand, are always subject to the scope for our receptivity. Irreversible actions shut off this scope.

It is in order to reach the core of nature's basic nature, the thought of exploration arises in a human mind. The purpose is to synchronise our choices with that of nature's design, structure and software. Transcending our thought-process was the only way that appeared to be obvious, when all other life forms were naturally in synchronicity with nature 😜.  

And therefore the suggestion by a great master “yoga chitha vruthi nirodha” ( synchronicity, alignment, merger is cessation of the REPETITIOUSNESS of mind) and then, he proceeds with description of time tested tools. Though quite subtle for our sensory levels to perceive, a possibility to access the reachable core form of nature's basic structure is ‘life’(energy) ticking inside us. But the real core is far more subtle, and unmanifest in its form. 

If, our choice is to remain ‘stuck’ to our unaudited & wrong choices of thoughts, words and deeds, then, nature is prepared to wait 🤣. It has a whole ‘eternity’ of time available, to wait. We keep further complicating our ‘errors’ , facing the consequences of wrong choices, and missing the experience of joy innate in nature's design structure and software 🙏.  The same Master, conveys nature's message as a prelude to that suggestion “athah yoga anushasanam”( And now {that nothing else worked, welcome to} the discipline of synchronicity, alignment and merger{with nature},). 

It is not that we are far away from nature due to our erroneous choices. Nature is a part of us, as much as we are a part of it 😜👍🙏

Just that, we keep missing the experience part of nature, when the focus of our life_energy remains stuck into the thought process called Mind. ( We keep “just thinking about nature, and related bla-bla” all the time, and keep missing it😂.  No matter how much we ‘think’ about a tasty dish which we never saw, felt or tasted, we can never get to know about it, till we experience its taste. And once we taste it, thoughts about it becomes redundant 🤣).

“I love nature” is a popular expression, which we don't try to question 🙏. Who within us is exactly “loving” it ? Body, mind, or the spirit?  ( No point elaborating the subtle distinction in these experiences by these entities, because argument, discussion, debate, agreement, conceding etc is confined to only a ‘mind’). For the purpose of humor, let our mind try saying “I love nature” when trapped in a storm, cyclone, volcanic lava, debris of an earthquake, jaws of a huge shark etc 😜. These all are very much “nature” too! ( On a serious note, the ancient tradition of “vaanaprastha”, forest_dwelling at mid_age of 60, was just this, 🙏…. “I love nature and I do_mean_it, come what may 👍” 😜… they don't articulate it. They ‘live’ it. 

Naturally yours,

Visualization skill via perception

 Visualization skill via perception 

I am not at all competent to ‘talk’ about the skills acquired by ancient Masters of Bharat, when I look at the magnitude of their skills, sitting meditatively, and delving deep into the mysteries of this universe.

( They could foretell with precision upto 1 “vighati” 1/60x60x60th part of 24 hours, the occurrence of an eclipse!). 

More credible evidence? ( Needed?)

Water climbed by itself some 800+ steps at the Golkonda Fort( Hyderabad), Naturally! 

A few engineers of British era BROKE those mud pipes, ( to substitute their lack of skills of perception & visualization) when their CONSTRICTED curiosity tempted them to see the “inside” to find out the technology. ( I was saddened, even as a kid of barely 12 yrs, when the guide explained to my school boys, on an excursion, how this plunder happened 😭). Probably, today's LAPROSCOPY instrument would have saved the design of mud-pipes, though its secrets might have awaited a much more evolved mind, to reveal itself 🙏

Another example is “paan-Chakki” near Aurangabad (Maharashtra), where I got an opporChutney to fathom the ‘reach’ of the minds of a wandering mendicant who devised a way, to intricately, seamlessly interweave 4 chapters of Physics, in designing a structure of mud-pipes which still fetches river water 10 kms away and delivers it from a height of 10 feet or so. 

Trudging the pathless path, sprinted across, by ancient minds, is a task full of uncertainties unimaginable! 🤣

Instead, I got placed on a track, which was designed to help me to evolve further into the faculties that are related to sensitivity, beyond the sensory levels of perception 🙏. This pursuit happened to grant me a unique kind of insight, which I had no way to evaluate or validate, except by sharing it. 

While the living humans around grant scarce audience to the concepts I present, certain indescribable energies ( formless ‘beings’/minds) seems eager to hold my tiny finger and lead me into those forests of mysteries 😛. I wasn't quite sure if it was appropriate to drop a mention of this. But age prompted me to ‘go ahead, blabber👍’ ( 🙏🙏🙏😛😜🤣)

All I look forward to, now…

is to vacate my place, leaving it a ‘bit’ better than it was, when I occupied it!

A blabberer, yours,

Stagnant Focus

 Stagnant Focus

🤣

Focus itself, is a herculean task of late (fast pace of life)

And to ‘talk’ of its stagnation? 😭

But, if ‘learning skills’ mean anything to us, we do need to look at focus a bit deeper.

Skilled tasks need better focus.

My life experience (samples purpose only)

a) At work place, a superior once asked me to do something very inappropriate. Just to oblige a customer who fed him with ‘gratifications’ (graft).

I refused. (only ‘reasonable’ orders of a superior needs to be obeyed. I had no weaknesses which could be exploited, hence no fears! 😂  I stayed bold!)

He growled “Don’t think I can’t do that job myself. I can do any clerical work, but you can’t do my job”

I didn’t have to ‘think’ of a reply : “Very true sir! For that matter, we both can do a sweeper’s job, but he can’t do a clerical or your job! But between both of us sweeping the floor, you might keep on sweeping the floor, while, I might invent a ‘vacuum cleaner’ after few days of sweeping!!”

Red-faced,  he proceeded to do that unethical task by himself. 

He missed my point.  Focus shouldn’t stagnate even at a menial-looking task like sweeping floors, if we like to keep evolving.

b)Somewhere during 1966 my dad granted me permission to learn ‘typewriting’ (those manual and mechanical machines, where the finger tips hammer the keys). He didn’t want me to end up as a typist in my life. 

A very strict instruction “ Do not aspire for speed, ever.  In typing, speed is an inevitable consequence, not the purpose. Accuracy will abandon you for ever, if you focus on speed while learning” 

I had to change 6 ‘typing institutes’ because the owner of the 5 previous ones didn’t like me spending days/month on stupidity like “a,s,d,f,g,f.... ;,l,k,j,h,j” (called budget). The sixth fellow didn’t care what i did.  He focused only on monthly ‘fee’ of Rs.6 (then)

After 6 months, a couple of months of sentences like “the quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog” (a to z)

I started of at 25 wpm :))  

My dad had learnt typing. But was using his skill very rarely.

One such unforgettable occasion was when his manager told : “ I am going to Head office by flight. No time to ‘draft’ that vital and important letter. Bring it directly to the airport. Use a taxi car. I will pay for it.” ( He briefly told dad about the ‘matter’ and dad said “please sign at this place here” on a blank printed-letter-head paper.” That manager stared in disbelief!  The signature is usually at a place where the ‘body’ of a letter ends, and below the words ‘yours faithfully,’ with a “manager” typed below the signature.)  

Dad had very little time. He typed it. That signature stood where it had to, though the structure was built around it, only after  😳.  Later, he counted the words. Time, he knew since  he was racing against it :))  He said “ it happened to be 72 wpm” with a ‘matter-of-fact-only’ kind of expression. 

I bookmarked this incident, which I never witnessed, but my dad’s narrative is, as always, flawless, owing to the bed-time stories we squeezed out of him, as his 3 kids!

(my take= type writing can expand its scope of newer skills in it if we are better-focused while learning)f

one funny thing I noticed (pertains only to me, a ‘half-mad’ fellow). After learning typing, my mind started “chanting” the spellings of each word that I ‘write’ with my ‘hand’ and using a ‘pen’ 🤣🤣😜

That was new!  Otherwise, hitherto, spellings were just a practice of kid age, despite the mismatch of pronunciation & its spellings in English 🤣

I started looking at more possibilities, when spelling each word became a possibility, afresh, each time. Slowly, phrases, sentences, why.... even concepts started preceding what I think+write, not while ‘copypasting’.

Toughest challenge ever.

Focus during breathing.  Keep watching that ‘stupid-breath’. 

It begets mind-fatigue at supersonipartc speed 😜🤣

And, ancients spent decades practicing to focus better and better, and...better their own breath!!!

Gautama Buddha did the ‘known’ part  of research best at breath-watching. 

Awesome results!  We not only become better at focusing on breath, but our ‘focusing skills’ grow phenomenally !!! ‘Stagnation’ stagnates far behind, when breath-watching evolves.

Stagnantly yours,

Yours Foolishly

 Yours Foolishly 😂

That's me!

Make no mistake about it🙏

Those who had the curiosity of peeping into my status ( stature) on WhatsApp would have noticed it ("Chappadachee" Trash-Can (Chappa, trash)😝 My Baptised Name!(2-in-1 उल्लू+उल्लू का पट्ठा👍)

Only a fool would try ethics (like honesty, outspokenness, adherence to rules, etc) today. And he earns the title “fool, who does not know how to survive 😭🙏)

Honesty etc adorns only people like M.K.Gandhi. His fame obviates any scope for scrutiny of political dishonesty he nourished carefully 😜 . And he benefitted too. No prisoner managed to EXTRACT an expensive diet like him🙏. Goat milk only👍. And he got obliged by the British, for their political benefits 🙏. A single Goat yields very little milk. So, several kids of few goats paid the price of malnutrition due to the adamancy of this Maha_aatma🙏. ( For medicinal purposes, in ayurveda, a little goat_milk is for Survival 🙏)

For Aam adami, honesty is foolish. Our dishonesty uses a make_up with, “What was a luxury decades ago, is an absolute-neccessity today!”.

Shringar for a bride, decades ago, became a necessary-make-up( quite expensive too 😜) today. And the groom knows, what kind of a face to-face in her, days later, sans-makeUp🤣

Earning for a “living” is no-more a dishonesty ( the teacher, in my spiritual program, STUPIFIED me when he said, “centuries ago, food happened for free for humans too! Today it is still  for “free” for all other life forms! Only humans need to work_for_food. Few animals/birds only hunt, not work!).

We can't afford honesty about our comfort zone, when we climb vertically, in our graph, about our dependency on gadgets😜. We say “no longer a luxury item. It's a necessity now👍🙏🙏🙏.” ( A.I. technology will eventually turn this attempt/scope/tool  even, to look at our dishonesty, into a Redundant thing . 🤣….  A dweller on Sun doesn't ‘need’ a word like “light” so, darkness remains unknown to him🙏)

I heard a joke in the epic story of Ramayana. Somebody suggested to Ravana “Hey! Why not dress up like Rama, and abduct Sita?”. It seems Ravana got infuriated and barked “do you think, I can't think about this idea????😡 F-o-o-l, the moment I change into “a Rama”, the very idea of abducting Sita would Evaporate out of me !”  ( Even a Villain, during the epics_era could afford honesty 🙏😭…. Karma is governed by a “form too”!!!

( I got flattened by my innate urge into spiritual bijness. As yet, dishonesty doesn't work in spiritual bijness. So, I had_too embrace a formidable stupidity in honesty_unto_self!  My frugality keeps my dishonesty with others, like …. I say to a sure-defaulter “sorry boss! I don't have the ₹100 right now, to lend to you 🙏😭”)

Foolishly yours,

Discipline

 Discipline 

🤣

An elusive word.

It evades a comprehensive grasp of its underlying deeper concepts implied in it, when we readily ‘fall’ for its superficial harshness and dismiss it's depth, calling it ‘a shallow trick’ used by the other to tame us into subservience😥🙏 ( Army discipline, school discipline, work place discipline, lane-discipline… countless such discipline frustrated ‘a’ mind to such an extent…..that…. now we loathe that bloody word, and tend to divert the true sense of another beautiful word ‘Freedom’ 😜. Ugliest sense POSSESSES us, Enslaves us, when our mind shrieks “ I wanna a Freedom from Discipline” 😡😡😡)

Discipline of SCIENCE! ( Not an unknown phrase, but seldom looked at in exclusivity of freedom_seeking mind🙏😜). Maths_discipline, is a Must for sensible pursuit of any human_activity 🙏)

I am no exception to the ambience of today's mindset, surrounded by folks who assume that it is “natural” for a repulsion towards that surface_sense in discipline.

Intellectual discipline is possible only when a mind adheres to the sanctity of mind's discipline 🤣🤣🤣

What about SPIRITUAL discipline? ( only MY problem, so I won't tamper with your “freedom from Discipline”)

A school_teacher , a parent, of today, is in a great hurry!😥. No time to “educate” a kid about the NEED for any discipline, forget about implanting the Concept of it🙏).

Other life forms do not Need to understand about “discipline”. The embedded software obviates any scope to tamper with “natural” nature in it. It lives and dies in a disciplined_way!( Evidence???? All life forms —not under captivity—die quietly, disposing their carcass by themselves, in an eco_friendly manner😜… try disposing the carcass of an elephant domesticated, and its very cost will convince us🙏).

I am now, loving self_discipline a “bit”. Not that I really evolved 😭…. At my age, 70+ now… nobody is keen to discipline me!😥. No audit for my mind's miss_takes !

Disciple of yours, 

( Disciple is qualified in discipline 😌)

Irritating tail-piece 😜

If I were to ‘pour’ mercury from one glass jar into the other, is it not EFFORTLESS? 🤣 ( OIL is a messy_thing for the same task ! It sticks to the old jar, etc)

Hindu way of life( which we abandoned today) was a software designed to implant spiritual_discipline in…..even-a-kid, quite effortlessly 🙏🙏🙏. Bed_time stories from an Evolved grandpa/Mrs grandpa, was enough, to clandestinely infuse discipline. Kid glorified the divine qualities in Rama/Krishna, and tries to emulate “Dharma” in his wakeful activities! 

Snag is, even story telling, needs a CUSTOMISED_discipline 🙏
