Response

 Response 

A magical word 🙂

The patient is not “responding” says a doctor. We don't ask “to what?” We know it's damn serious! 

I look at myself 🙏. Am I responsive enough”?  It is now, that the koschan “to what ALL???”  gains intensity, because  I know I “am” now! 😜 

How do I motivate (the freshers) to respond to the highest human possibility in life??? The peak period of this ‘search' was, when I volunteered for the backup support at a center meant for people to seek help, after attending a spiritual program of 13 days. A 6 year span from 1992. 

And the heavy rate of ‘failure’ is what taught me the importance of the “response”-mechanism in-built in humans🙏. 

Motivation is related to our potential to respond, but awaiting for our wake up call to get activated 🤣.

In a strange way, I see an illogical reverse_similarity with local and general anesthesia 😜. “General” is far more powerful than “local” anesthesia.  I find a “general’ response to”life” to be most responsive than a “specific” response!

A guy, who responds to”life” itself, ultimately ends up including everyone and everything around as a part of himself 🙏😥. ( Proof : a sanyasi forsakes his ‘own' folks to become an expansion of responseAbled guy, at universe_level. If he radiates powerfully enough, a crowd responds to his inclusiveness. And his own family “including”  😜🙏). 

 Normal guys respond to something/someone they relate with ( their desire, emotional attachment, emotional blackmail, greed, expectations, goals, urge etc….  whether it is life_negative or life_positive 😥).

Parenting is ideally  “supposed” to look for scope and potential in their kids to respond. Here, it is responseAbility, as a quality, not object_oriented. If this “ability” has a versatility, the kid finds oneself motivated by many possibilities in terms of ‘actions’, when it grasps the data well, through it 5 input devices!. ( The bulk of communicated part of ancient Hinduism, through traditions, rituals, scriptures etc, are a time_tested evidence 🙏 to help us to get convinced that these are a priceless gift of sophisticated tool_sets). A Guru is a living tool, who customises a tailored tool to tap the potential to respond 😜🙏🙏🙏.  I don't know if this ‘subtle distinction’ suggested by me is going to find an appeal in a reader to mumble “Maybe, lemme see😳”.  I am not a professional, by any chance. I am driven by sheer curiosity to see if my ‘premise’ is worth a response further😜. And I must acknowledge my ‘own' milestones on this pathless path, and silently nod to myself “yep! 👍 Good going yaar!”.

An old Hindi song and its lyrics offer a mystic motivation to wake up the responseAbility in me🙏 ( I generalise it as much as possible 😥)

Movie: Anokhi raat, and lyrics ”oh re taal mile nadii ke…..”  

The yearning to respond is “loaded” in these 2 stanzas :

सूरज को धरती तरसे (धरती को चंद्रमा - २)

पानी में सीप जैसे प्यासी हर आतमा

ओ मितवा रे ए ए ए ए   पानी में ...

बूंद छुपी किस बादल में

कोई जाने ना

ओह रे ताल मिले नदी के जल में ...

अन्जाने होंठों पर ये (पहचाने गीत हैं - २)

कल तक जो बेगाने थे जनमों के मीत हैं

ओ मितवा रे ए ए ए   कल तक ...

क्या होगा कौन से पल में

कोई जाने ना

Whatever 🙏 

Generally yours,
