Not my problem

 Not my problem
(popular mind-set of today, socially acceptable)

"The whole creation is my concern as well"
( a whole society thought like this, till the recent millennium, in Bharat.😊!)
Whether an individual's 'concern' for such VAST level of inclusiveness made a difference or not.... for sure it helped that Individual to attain the highest-human-possibility 🙏.  Logic cannot befriend inclusiveness of such a huge magnitude. Logic contends saying 'infinity' ain't my problem!

Symbolically, Sun the only star of our planetary system, and the only 'male' that gave birth to life in all forms known to us, is 'said to be donating' a thousand cows, as a gesture of gratitude, when a person is born,  who is likely to energize the sun, using sound forms, compatible with quantum laws🙏. Verification of the validity of this symbolism is possible only after acquiring certain level of sensitivity, transcending the sensory levels of perception. (meanwhile, a dumb-data can suffice as a 'reference' using the ritual called Sandhya-Vandan, done thrice by that person, when Sun is viewed at its extremes at any location on earth)

Exploration during the recent centuries was mostly from west. People from east tried to explore only to accentuate their exploration deep within, called spirituality 😜. There is a qualitative difference in both these quests. The commonality being, an attitude like "It is very much my concern"!!!

My experience: 
Somewhere in 2009 or so, during one of  my routine visits to the village of my spouse, she happened to suggest "shall we go for a walk?". Such 'walks' are not in our syllabus   😜
We walked. 
It was sunset. A ringing of bells at a small temple attracted her ears. She said "A murugan temple. Saandhya-Pooja time. Do you mind a look for a couple of minutes. We are already beside the temple" (She had to offer so-much of positive reasoning because she knew my present trend. Not keen about  visit to temples 😊)
I nodded. We stood at the doors of the shrine. The priest was gesticulating with articulations in 'sync'. After the energised flame in the camphor was offered to the devotees present (only 2 of us, then), the priest stepped out for a fresh-breath-of-air (the sanctum is dark, zero ventilated, and the available O2/oxygen gets spent by burning lamps, incense, camphor etc----something logic defying about desi temples, especially when there are zero side effects on the 'health' of any priest 😜
I gently inquired with the priest "Sir 🙏....  TANTRA eh?" ,  His eyes widened. An unusual query!!!  He was familiar with only-not-my-problem posture of minds from his regular devotees there, who were only from the vicinities.  
He exclaimed :"yes! And not quite often we get to see this form of the deity being invoked with tantric chants!. I couldn't avail even a single day's 'off from work'/leave/holiday, simply because there is no substitute who can perform the rituals in tantric style. My home is far away" 

His curiosity was "how is this (temple's different style of propitiation) a concern for this guy?" (I could see the source of his_problem 😂... curiosity/wonder.  And therefore I proceeded to explain whatever I had observed in his performance of pooja)
He was emotionally moved.  Almost like, his hard work, dedication, and skills received a crude and informal recognition from a total stranger, and yet meant a lot for him 😂.  My wife was equally stupefied, since it was a 'first time' for me, to a temple which she used to visit from her kid age. 
That priest had to proceed towards the next set of rituals, and we had exceeded our 'budgeted' time allocated here. He wound up saying "Please visit on a Panguni_uthram day, and I will ensure a place for you to stand and witness the special pooja, despite a crowd on that annual event." I thanked him, and left. (Today, 1st April, 2026 is a "Panguni Uthram" day, an annual event at all Murugan temples. Murugan is known as "Kaartikeya" in the North of Bharat. Tamils regard Murugan as 'their own God". )

My blogs are a glaring evidence of my mental problem, when I couldn't acquire the attitude "not my problem".  I tend to run_into_trouble often due to the absence of "mind my own-bijness" trait.

intrusively yours,
