Random thoughts

It is time , I thought, things that I held as 'values' within myself, for all these decades, should get scrutinized by others who possess a much sharper sense_of_discriminination than me! ( A preparedness to get get corrected).

Whereas, if by any chance, a reader decides to try it out, he should come to no harm at all🙏 ( to ensure this, I try to confine my blabber to only my personal experience, based on element of repetitiousness.)

I keep adding, as and when my brain wave might persuade 😜🙏



1)मैं अगर किसी को ‘मानता‘ हूं और वो और किसी को,  तो वो किसी और को जाने परखें बिना ही,  मैं भी मानने लगता हूँ 🙏

If I happen to revere someone,  and he reveres someone else, then I too have reverence for that_someone too, without waiting to know or evaluating that someone else 🙏

2)when innocence is led by awareness,  wisdom is a mere consequence 

3)any kind of refinement envisages some kind of self-imposed discipline 

4)If there is utter clarity, plus, deep acceptance, about 'what-can-be' expected from today's people(even Hindus), such person is free-from shackles of all kinds 😀

4)Transparency promotes trust.... trust when invoked, nurtures reverence…..

5)Unleashing the potential of a "mind" ....

is not a tiring excercise,  if we bothered to maintain the health of our mind😜


I don't know,  if it qualifies as a concept?  Between the body and a mind, the distinction is, body ages despite maintenance,  whereas a mind, if maintained-well, can defy aging 🙏😜😜😜

6)Loneliness or isolation is inversely proportional to the inclusivess capability we grow into!

7)if we are keen to know about our genuineness in our quality called involvement,  the litmus test is, our innovation_quality is maintained_actively_in_readiness.  But without inclusiveness, involvement cannot survive 😜🙏

8)of you ‘find’ that the person standing before you is able to accept truth(about anything) EFFORTLESSLY….then, know that…..you are staring at the_Highest_form of COURAGE, functioning 😜. ( I strongly suggest, please try to mince-meat/tear-apart/mercilessly-criticise this observation of mine🙏. Blind acceptance might deprive you it's benefits if any, PLUS it might deny me a chance to apologise for making a stupid statement. Win-win idea😜🙏)


9)if, we are keen to have just one single idea to hold on to our life, which obviates the need to adhere to numerous 'good advices' my experience is "just keep refining myself in every thought, word and deed" through my life.  The best finds me, instead of me chasing the best😜 ( desi Guru's keep looking for only DESERVING candidates. Historical truth)

10) getting along peacefully with someone locked alongside us, inextricably, is undoubtedly a challenging task.
In my attempt to render myself “harmless” to the fellow alongside me, I found myself ending up being also_USELESS to that person 😜🤣. ( Obviously, when a distance is affordable, I do better 🙏 I don't EXIST, in their experience 👍)
11)Knowledge and wisdom CAN precede or succeed innocence, but innocence cannot be OBVIATED at all, for ultimate liberation/Mukti/moksha/whatever 👍🙏🙏🙏
12) Parenting was different until a century ago, since thousands of years.
The ‘values' (taught)were enough, to resist hacking 🤣. Basic OS was those Values 🙏 
Today, fire-walls are not working, and latest OS is Never BUG-FREE 😭. VERIFY thoroughly, this statement and then agree! Discarding it is an easier option, just ‘delete 👍’
12-A) Value-BASED education ( till 200 years ago in Bharat ( not Literacy 😜)
Those-values, which are COMPATIBLE with human physiology 🙏. ( Details, I omit deliberately)
13) Right kind of choices are possible only when the intellect is free from the dominating mind(a mere sum total of experiences, and its influences)...when choosing is the urgent need of the situation 🙏
14) Reckless, random, incoherent and unbridled thought_processes when awake, are indicative of our tendency to mimic our dream_state where, brain doesn't process and intellect remains unavailable 😜 ( not a ‘good' sign!)
15) Parenting is utmost crucial upto 5th year of a child, simply because, the Very Nature of this formative-years is going to work as an EMBEDDED software for the lifetime of that kid, and hence vital. ( The paradox is “if we don't know the difference it makes, there won't be any difference for that kid” 🙏😜)
16) Bharat is(was) Shraddha/श्रद्धा culture, compared to ‘freedom’ culture we Aped today 🙏. 
Reverence is the nearest available word, though grossly inadequate to capture its true sense.
When shraddha is at its best, intellect is at its peak, riding on awareness & alertness, both at its best!
( Imagine walking around, inside a large house  networked with a maze of criss-crossed wires, uninsulated, carrying a high charge of 11000 volts of electricity 🤣 one careless movement, is fatal 😥. Now, remove that ‘fear’ and then visualise the intensity of care, caution, alertness and awareness of walking around a reverential person, or a consecrated place like a temple or home. This is just a symbolic example to help visualization of how_receptive WE should be, to benefit from such reverential people, place or things🙏)
For a super_perfect utilitarian advise, a verse in Gita, is a trillion times better than what I tried to ‘suggest’ here using my primitive life experience 😓( श्रद्धावान लभते ज्ञानम…..)
17) honesty unto oneself is a Nasty business, but a few fools undertake it, and innocently cause envy into others, by displaying a pleasant aura due to it!( It seems somebody tried to “educate” a sculptor re-doing a tiny statute to be placed at a height of 30 metres on a tower of some church or temple, saying “see…nobody is going to notice that tiny_flaw on the previous one there, from such a height. Why waste efforts re-doing it?”
That sculptor: “but I know, there is a flaw there🙏😞”)
18)while knowledge of law cannot be expected from common man, Jurisprudence SHOULD NOT BE avoided by common man, especially since Jurisprudence doesn't require literacy 😜( proof: in all departmental-Enquiries, no enacted law is forced upon. No LLB is needed to be an enquiry official, presenting official or a defense_representative🤣. ideally, therefore, any dept-enquiry has better scope to do-justice than a Supreme court even. Courts only_administer Law. Any “justice” is purely incidental 😜🙏🙏)
19) That inclusiveness, envisaged in the cherished greatness of sanatana Dharma, through its words “vasudaiva Kutumbakam”( universe is my family), got chopped off, because of today's social norms “don't interfere in my life” 😜…. I will vote for a Jihadi, or even yield to his love jihad, my freedom, you_get_lost!
I became an indifferent fool, fearing that interference into my next kin, friend, fellow citizens 🙏. ( No cure, so endure😜🙏)
20)for Any debate to be a “healthy” one indispensable requirement is, both sides need to be equipped with a matching level of inputs relevant to the subject of debate.
(Evidence: Aadi Shankara conceded when asked “what do you know about a married life?” and requested a week's time to experience the relevant data, came back to win the debate with wife of first pontiff of shringeri mutt)
21)the flip_side of desi spirituality is, as long as a person keeps refining oneself spiritually ( only to one's own possible _best, no benchmarks), there are evolved beings hovering around, to support mightily, unbelievably, and certainly! 
Traditional evidence about a “Guru” seeking a disciple, is the proof 🙏. ( My personal experience, though of great value for me, about this, need not be taken cognizance of🙏). Tough thing is, to ‘keep refining oneself’ on a daily basis😜( flop side).
22)I don't know if this can find an appeal, just_enough to examine honestly🙏

The criteria for becoming a full_fledged Brahmin is only if there is an Experience of 1st of the 4 Mahavakyas "pragyanam Brahma" ( preliminary stage of a noteworthy evolvement for a human)

Mere Name tag as a "Brahmin" serves only an extraneous purpose, not related to its purpose 🙏
23)Grown up Children'demanding' from parents their "freedom"(today)
sadden stupid parents🙏😜
A responsible jailer gets MORE freedom than the criminal leaving that 'jail'! 
A jailer commits sucide(prisoner is not responsible) WHEREAS, a prisoner does it? Jailer gets questioned FIRST
24)Trust has to grow on its own. Forcing others/ourselves, onto or from, is futile. Inclusiveness at its deepest level is the manure 😜. When ‘trust’ is mention-worthy, the society or nation scales prosperity as a byproduct of spirituality 🙏
25)Dress related obscenity, embarassment, revulsion, etc is only due to the mind-set, whereas, traditionally, an apparel was ‘meant’ to serve, not the minds of an onlooker, but to suit the situation, occasion or event. ( Until 200 years ago, Hindus of Bharat Preferred only unstitched clothing, and used their ingenuity to drape it skillfully 🤣)
An englishwoman did quiz Ramana Maharshi about his loincloth-only. He addressed her mind's genuine-quest(ion) and said “you have no-probs, leaving only-your-face uncovered isn't it? Well, for me it's my entire body! But I wear a full dhoti when I walk through a village. Here on a rock, at this desolate mountain top, I need just a loincloth🙏”
26)femininety, at its subtlest sense is not about a female gender, but it is about the closest_possible proximity to the Shiva ness/shivatatwa, in a spiritual sense! If, perception is affordable, a look at the countenance of spiritually evolved people will reveal their femininety, grace etc 🙏 ( Females are naturally gifted with an overdose of femininety_also, which , they today demolish with concerted efforts, to compete with the logic in their male_counterparts. Obviously, the logic fails them often, when they need it most😭
27)the efforts needed,
to build a “character” 
is
inversely proportional to the support received from our surroundings 😜
( try to demolish this, and do_tell_me, if you succeeded 🙏)
28)"I cannot choose the best. The best chooses me" wrote Gurudev in “stray birds”. For this, I need to strive for ‘self-refinement’(आत्म-परिष्कार ) in every activity of thought, word and deed incessantly 🙏. ( It seems to work for me😜)
29) for communism to work well, the politburo needs to be brainy, patriotic incorruptible etc.
Ancient kerala, rishis were politburo. King was today's CM. It worked for thousands of years. Today's Kerala, if one member of politburo is accidentally honest, they make him a CM( king)😂. He obeys and takes all the blame as well🙏👍
30) even ‘truth’ has evolved in its displayed forms 😜
Not just ‘bitter’ now! It even irritates🥵
Look at the spate of ‘advises’ heaped daily on my WhatsApp. The truth is that the ‘sender’ himself never verified or practices it😥
31)I got ‘addicted’ to Kerala towel, for drying myself after bath. It's a plain cotton cloth but its loosely spun yarn absorbs water easily, and the loose porous Weave dislodges my dead skin of yesterday when I rinse it. Non-addicts are blessed with “turkish” towel etc. They love to re-live through their dead skin that gets embedded deep into the hidden weave beneath 😜
32)Sadism is contagious as I see. Just that clever ones among us nurture only its benign-form, to feign empathy 😂

33)Each of the 'sense' organs in a human,

has a potential to evolve beyond the 'basic' functions that comes as a factory-fitting. ( Easiest convincing one is the pair of eyes 🙏😜)
34) the secret of a successful domestic harmony in today's scenario is in the ability to compensate for the deficiency in self_discipline in our spouse 😜

35) Seeing God in a temple!
I CopyPaste the Wisdom of a soorDas( a polite way of addressing a blind person, reverentially 🙏)
He said,( in response to a mockery  “ you are born_blind, and yet, claim a darshan of deity? Eh? 😛”) ….”well, agreed that I am blind, but Godji isn't blind, and isn't it enough if He sees me?”
My problem arose now! 😓. Despite sightful eyes, do I have the perception to “see” that subtle energy CONSECRATED in that idol?. That soorDas is better_abled, not differently abled , when it comes to sitting eyes CLOSED for a MeditaShun 🙏😜. He can afford with eyelids wide open 😭
36) when it is about defining the type of relationship we hold with others, I was wondering how to make it brief, as a ready reference for my personal use🙏
Broadly, we have two major types: commercial and non-commercial. 
Then, why not call it as 2-way and 1-way traffic?😜. The moment we seek some/any kind of gratitude, acknowledgement, reciprocation, emotional or pecuniary, my relationship is a 2-way. Only when I do something and never bother to turn back, looking for how it went with the other, it is 1-way traffic 😂. A sophisticated name is “unconditional love” 😥. “One-way traffic” is much easier on my mind🙏
37) phoren(foreign) visitors state at the incredibly low rate of collision, when they look at a six-way busy crossing junction in the heart of a metro like Mumbai! Signals not working, and no traffic police. Vehicles of all types criss-cross like disturbed large beehive, where bees are flying criss-cross without colliding 😜 ( who am I to tell them, “Sir, 🙏…. but it's happening right inside you too! Only if your ‘mind' can permit you to observe 😓. There is a junction in your throat. Food is swallowed, and air is breathing across at the same time, but without colliding 😂 . Only if your mind insists on ‘talking while eating’ chewed food might be forced towards lungs a bit, and the ‘lungs’ scream with what we call it as cough! On the other hand, if mind_is_Kind, awareness adds to smooth flow of traffic at throat. Breathing+swallowing🙏".      😂)
38)artificiality of emotions, I could understand like never_elsewhere, when I came across an Urdu couplet( ‘sher’, they call it)
Hazaar phool kam hai, ek dulhan ko sajaane ke liye!
Ek phool kaafi hai, ek kabr ko sajaane ke liye!


Hazaar khushiyan kam hai ek zindagi banaane ke liye 😓
Ek gam kaafi hai ek zindagi mitaane ke liye 🙏

( Power of ‘genuine’ emotions Versus “build_up” of artificial ones😜)

39)The mystery of our "life" ( the way we are able to experience 'being alive's)....
is merely due to its subtlety ( our sensory levels of perception, apart from being limited, they are also focused outwards).


Mind, being judgemental by its own nature is unable to perceive the source of it's own fuel , the life energy 🙂

The element of wonder, and it's retention beyond the 'default' functioning during our kid age, tends to recede, as our mind gets busy! That ability to 'wonder' is the best tool to perceive the subtlety of life.


( Meanwhile, certain 'beliefs' related to 'spirituality' is resorted to keep us as 'seekers' for demystifying the 'self'. Self, we can clearly see is not 'my body' or 'my mind'.

Each person is left to decide what, how, why & when to "seek".

Rest is history 😂

40)When a mind turns reactionary by default, instead of a capacity to ‘respond’ CONSCIOUSLY to a situation, it resembles a bent foot ruler, used to draw a straight line 😂 . Wherever it is used, the drawn line will be always bent, not straight 🙏


41) Fundamental difference between our desi education system and the western system we are thrusted_upon with….. Ours WAS based on spirituality ( which includes handling of material life dexterously), Whereas the present system suffers the confinement, limitations and restrictions of educating about handling of only_the_material aspect of life. ( Try to “afford” examination of the consequences of both, to be able to judge this guess work of mine, judiciously 🙏 😜)

42) Wisdom is going to come only at the last, but it need not take a whole life-time to get an entry_ticket. 🤣. Wisdom about wisdom is encapsulated in the adage “a wise head on young shoulders”( I tell myself 🙏 “Just make a choice about it, enjoy life with wisdom or suffer the SAME life without it😓”)
43)Just deal with our love for comfort zone, everything else will be life positive. Just keep reminding myself “nothing grows in my comfort zone”( even a baby decides to leave its comfort zone of the womb, to face the labour pain, for ‘growth’ 😜. Embedded software 🙏)

44) When awareness peaks, subtler levels of perception become possible, transcending the gross levels. Gross levels of perception is an embedded software designed by nature to ensure preservation and propagation of a species. Humans have a CHOICE to stagnate, deteriorate or to improve upon these levels of perception 🙏


45)The paradoxical situation about stupidity is, it needs wisdom to get reformed or even to think of reformation!!!😭

46) I would always like to acquire a boon/capability to realise my own stupidities at the earliest possible ( not much rush, crowd or long queues of seekers for this!😜). After that, I guess, I don't need to stand in the long queue for seeking common sense, wisdom etc 🙏 

47)very ironically, in few situations……we end up being Honest with those whom we dislike and being dishonest with those whom we like! 
Example: we tell him on_his_face, “get lost, I don't like/agree with what you say”, to a disliked person. Whereas, we feign a mild liking/agreement to a person we like, to something displeasing that he says😜. Why can't we afford honesty? Why fear losing the friendship? Is it worth, if dishonesty is a MUST?


48) As a baby, I experienced “love” only via receiving everything that I needed or got. Once I grew, why should I deny myself the same experience, refusing to ‘give’? ( Maybe, for survival needs, I require to barter a few things, but I should not ‘trade’ for every giving 😜 or else my heart might turn into a ghost house 😥)


49)Ego always tends to hide honesty. I can think of no better example that a person unduly famous as an honest man, M.K.Gsndhi, when his own egoistic desire managed to hide his hidden agenda of appeasing his admirers( British) by allowing Bharat to be broken apart/divided/partitioned before conceding independence. 🙏 ( Truth at times takes years to become visible 🙏)

50) Meditation is a state of being ( meditative practices are meant to ‘reach’ that state).
Meditation eludes( not evaded) a commercial mindset. Until 500 years ago, 95% of thoughts were non-commercial. Today, 99% of our thoughts can be easily traced to ‘some' kind of commercial value 😜. Deal with this problem, if meditation is your genuine goal🙏

51) I suffer a paradox, too severely 😰


Whatever dawns in me ( as verbal thoughts) is not worth conveying to others( except a rare few🙏).
Whatever is worth telling others,( suits the comfort zone of most-- readers looking for only some 'entertainment value' in messages) doesn't dawn in me😭

11)Innocence and ignorance are used interchangeably,  oblivious to the distinction.


( For proof, one can try to substantiate that Krishna...... assuming that the epic was true.... was truly_innocent 😜. 
I won't waste my energy elucidating this truth! 🙏. Not worth the trouble friterring away, what I learnt painstakingly.  I don't find any "preacher/upanyasakar/pravachakar/etc..." attempting to explain this----if at all he "knows" it 🙏😔…
Knowledge and wisdom CAN precede or succeed innocence, but innocence cannot be OBVIATED at all, for ultimate liberation/Mukti/moksha/whatever 👍🙏🙏🙏

34) the secret of a successful domestic harmony in today's scenario is in the ability to compensate for the deficiency in self_discipline in our spouse 😜
35) Seeing God in a temple!
I CopyPaste the Wisdom of a soorDas( a polite way of addressing a blind person, reverentially 🙏)
He said,( in response to a mockery  “ you are born_blind, and yet, claim a darshan of deity? Eh? 😛”) ….”well, agreed that I am blind, but Godji isn't blind, and isn't it enough if He sees me?”
My problem arose now! 😓. Despite sightful eyes, do I have the perception to “see” that subtle energy CONSECRATED in that idol?. That soorDas is better_abled, not differently abled , when it comes to sitting eyes CLOSED for a MeditaShun 🙏😜. He can afford with eyelids wide open 😭
36) when it is about defining the type of relationship we hold with others, I was wondering how to make it brief, as a ready reference for my personal use🙏
Broadly, we have two major types: commercial and non-commercial. 
Then, why not call it as 2-way and 1-way traffic?😜.  The moment we seek some/any kind of gratitude, acknowledgement, reciprocation, emotional or pecuniary, my relationship is a 2-way. Only when I do something and never bother to turn back, looking for how it went with the other, it is 1-way traffic 😂. A sophisticated name is “unconditional love” 😥. “One-way traffic” is much easier on my mind🙏
37) phoren(foreign) visitors state at the incredibly low rate of collision, when they look at a six-way busy crossing junction in the heart of a metro like Mumbai! Signals not working, and no traffic police. Vehicles of all types criss-cross like disturbed large beehive, where bees are flying criss-cross without colliding 😜 ( who am I to tell them, “Sir, 🙏…. but it's happening right inside you too! Only if your ‘mind' can permit you to observe 😓. There is a junction in your throat. Food is swallowed, and air is breathing across at the same time, but without colliding 😂 . Only if your mind insists on ‘talking while eating’ chewed food might be forced towards lungs a bit, and the ‘lungs’ scream with what we call it as cough! On the other hand, if mind_is_Kind, awareness adds to smooth flow of traffic at throat. Breathing+swallowing🙏😂)
38)artificiality of emotions, I could understand like never_elsewhere, when I came across an Urdu couplet( ‘sher’, they call it)
Hazaar phool kam hai, ek dulhan ko sajaane ke liye!
Ek phool kaafi hai, ek kabr ko sajaane ke liye!


Hazaar khushiyan kam hai ek zindagi banaane ke liye 😓
Ek gam kaafi hai ek zindagi mitaane ke liye 🙏

( Power of ‘genuine’ emotions Versus “build_up” of artificial ones😜)


39)The mystery of our "life" ( the way we are able to experience 'being alive's)....
is merely due to its subtlety ( our sensory levels of perception, apart from being limited, they are also focused outwards).


Mind, being judgemental by its own nature is unable to perceive the source of it's own fuel , the life energy 🙂

The element of wonder, and it's retention beyond the 'default' functioning during our kid age, tends to recede, as our mind gets busy! That ability to 'wonder' is the best tool to perceive the subtlety of life.


( Meanwhile, certain 'beliefs' related to 'spirituality' is resorted to keep us as 'seekers' for demystifying the 'self'. Self, we can clearly see is not 'my body' or 'my mind'.

Each person is left to decide what, how, why & when to "seek".

Rest is history 😂

40)When a mind turns reactionary by default, instead of a capacity to ‘respond’ CONSCIOUSLY to a situation, it resembles a bent foot ruler, used to draw a straight line 😂 . Wherever it is used, the drawn line will be always bent, not straight 🙏

40)The basis of the relationship between two humans depends on the type of sieve we use to filter out others. ( The bonds that I held towards my blood-relations got snapped when the Yardsticks got transformed into ‘spiritual' inclusiveness as the parameters🙏😓)

41) Fundamental difference between our desi education system and the western system we are trusted_upon with….. Ours WAS based on spirituality ( which includes handling of material life dexterously), Whereas the present system suffers the confinement, limitations and restrictions of educating about handling of only_the_material aspect of life. ( Try to “afford” examination of the consequences of both, to be able to judge this guess work of mine, judiciously 🙏 😜)

42) Wisdom is going to come only at the last, but it need not take a whole life-time to get an entry_ticket. 🤣. Wisdom about wisdom is encapsulated in the adage “a wise head on young shoulders”( I tell myself 🙏 “Just make a choice about it, enjoy life with wisdom or suffer the SAME life without it😓”)

43)Just deal with our love for comfort zone, everything else will be life positive. Just keep reminding myself “nothing grows in my comfort zone”( even a baby decides to leave its comfort zone of the womb, to face the labour pain, for ‘growth’ 😜. Embedded software 🙏)

44) When awareness peaks, subtler levels of perception become possible, transcending the gross levels. Gross levels of perception is an embedded software designed by nature to ensure preservation and propagation of a species. Humans have a CHOICE to stagnate, deteriorate or to improve upon these levels of perception 🙏

45)The paradoxical situation about stupidity is, it needs wisdom to get reformed or en to think of reformation!!!😭
46) I would always like to acquire a boon/capability to realise my own stupidities at the earliest possible ( not much rush, crowd or long queues of seekers for this!😜). After that, I guess, I don't need to stand in the long queue for seeking common sense, wisdom etc 🙏 
47)very ironically, in few situations……we end up being Honest with those whom we dislike and being dishonesty with those whom we like! 
Example: we tell him on_his_face, “get lost, I don't like/agree with what you say”, to a disliked person. Whereas, we feign a mild liking/agreement to a person we like, to something displeasing that he says😜. Why can't we afford honesty? Why fear losing the friendship? Is it worth, if dishonesty is a MUST?

48) As a baby, I experienced “love” only via receiving everything that I needed or got. Once I grew, why should I deny myself the same experience, refusing to ‘give’? ( Maybe, for survival needs, I require to barter a few things, but I should not ‘trade’ for every giving 😜 or else my heart might turn into a ghost house 😥)


49)Ego always tends to hide honesty. I can think of no better example that a person unduly famous as an honest man, M.K.Gsndhi, when his own egoistic desire managed to hide his hidden agenda of appeasing his admirers( British) by allowing Bharat to be broken apart/divided/partitioned before conceding independence. 🙏 ( Truth at times takes years to become visible 🙏)

50) Meditation is a state of being ( meditative practices are meant to ‘reach’ that state).
Meditation eludes( not evaded) a commercial mindset.  Until 500 years ago, 95% of thoughts were non-commercial. Today, 99% of our thoughts can be easily traced to ‘some' kind of commercial value 😜.  Deal with this problem, if meditation is your genuine goal🙏

51)I suffer a paradox, too severely 😰


Whatever dawns in me ( as verbal thoughts) is not worth conveying to others( except a rare few🙏).
Whatever is worth telling others,( suits the comfort zone of most-- readers looking for only some 'entertainment value' in messages) doesn't dawn in me😭

52) redefining heaven earth and hell : if both the spouses adjust mutually it is heaven, if one fool adjusts, it is earthly and if both fail to adjust, it's sure hell😜
53) justice in courts are not like “natural justice”. Truth is not the ‘basis’ of justice in courts, but the enactment, based on popular demand,.... forms the basis 🙏 ( example: UCC mandated registration of ‘live_in’ pairs, gender is no problem, and as a side_effect, inadvertently though,....it accords ‘recognition’ to the artificiality conjured by human mind, ……that the purpose of a ‘union’ of male_female has nothing_to_do with ‘nature’s design of propagation & preservation of a species’..... Can we ‘expect’ any sympathy from Mother Nature, when we decide to frame our own laws, disregarding nature's laws???


54) personification of ‘process’....

Certification process: ”dear merit…. I beg for your skill in identifying ‘merit’ 🙏. My certificate is getting exposed badly at the job😭”
Merit process: ”Hey, certificShun process, I have been busy since 5000 years, shining inside humble and honest folks. You were born just 3 centuries ago, and you mostly honour incompetence, CopyPaste experts, by_heart experts etc! You earn Paisa, while i earn only recognition by rare_few🙏. I can't stoop low enough to oblige you😡”
55) the unseen being within seems_to_me, like a ‘natural balloon’ tied to the earth with lots and lots of strings(karmas) 😂. Each string when loosened allows a slight movement to the balloon. Newer strings replace worn ones and relocate the balloon 😜. Once all the strings are snapped, the balloon soars high, free to merge with the universe 😞. (Just an imaginary example to help myself to understand the strings/karma/attachment/desires😜.)
56) 🤣
In my experience, “humility” is a consequence, and an attribute needed by admirers to refer to the collection of a few qualities noticed in a person. ( Trying to ‘chase, catch and imbibe’ humility as an exclusive and an isolated attribute in ourselves, is unlikely to work, and increases the vulnerability of hypocrisy 😜)

57) my observations about “scientific discoveries” happening and our knowledge evolving thereby, as a routine. I would be grateful to be corrected.
There is a pattern in the set_of_discoveries happening around us🙏
Modern mind strives to explore ways and means of improving our “ease of living”( gadgets, tools of connectivity, medical equipments…are easy examples)
Another pattern is, the seemingly illogical, unscientific, unbelievable, and therefore detestable ‘stories’ of desi epics and puranik stories …..which force us abruptly to take cognizance of them like tiny eruptions springing up from the surface of a terrain beneath which a volcanic lava is lying deep below and buried since millennia 😜.
“Oh! So they were right, thousands of years ago???” is our response to such accidental discoveries( example: NASA guys exclaiming at the strange noises recorded from far space, and noticing that it resembles the mention of “primordial sound forms” mentioned in scriptures as A,U, M… 
🕉️ “ 🤣. Now, the western scientists are quietly probing deeper into every occurance of AUM in desi scriptures. The western mind resolves “to leave no stone Unturned “. Our desi minds seek the comfort zone in blind repetition of the same chant 🕉️ aum, foreclosing the huge possibility of experiencing the ‘vibes’ caused in our physiology 🙏. We feign ‘knowlege’ about AUM, forgetting the significance of an experience of it within. )
Therefore, i feel persuaded to look at ancient wisdom as a product of a highly intelligent and super_scientific documention by evolved beings🙏 ( among all types of medical sciences, the Ayurvedic texts were authored by fully enlightened fellows😜… a teaser for sceptics 🙏)
58)We ask about "side effects of medicine"

We don't ask/think about side effects of junk food, overeating etc

If....we had asked ourselves the side effects of junk food, why would we need medicines at all ( for chronic ailments)? 😜

Sukh mein sumiran karai tou dukh kahe ko hoy? 🤔
59)A sensible person asked a question to an audience, where i was one of them, “Today's humans have sophisticated admirably, what animals do with their life normally, according to their limited intelligence, namely to eat, sleep and procreate. Whether we attempt anything other than this, is what decides the quality of life”( i instantly looked within 😥. And i decided to continue with my eccentricities more intensely 😜)
60)Even when I was just a kid, a few recognised the potential (spiritual) in me. A rare few recognised the evolvement in me now.
I owe my gratitude to the former and my duty towards the latter 😜🙏. ( Here, ‘recognition’ refers to the functional form, not the verbal embellishments or ornamental forms😥)
61) my personal view—--ancients did everything possible to promote spirituality in their progeny, and therefore the “way of life” called today as Hinduism. But they knew too well, nothing will sustain until the motivation gets its fuel from within 😜. Once the source of motivation is from within ( here, is my experience and hence this opinion is mine alone), there is no stopping 😂. Spiritual pursuit is unstoppable 😭. Today, this external fuel called sanatan dharma is in short supply, distorted, misconceived, misrepresented, ritualistic-sans_symbolism, etc. ( ancients ‘knew’ this and hence, decided to embed the seeds in genes. But still, the on-off-switch is by choice or by accident only🙏)
62) Modern life has increased the complexity of choices we make about our course of thoughts, words and deeds. 🙂 ( Until 300 years ago, there were fewer choices available about material aspect of life). I looked at simplifying the complexity to a possible extent 😓. One such simple rule i could think of= Soul is supposed to be everlasting, whereas this body of mine is temporal. So, i do not pamper my body at the cost of spoiling the soul😜. If, my body or my soul has to bear some loss, disadvantage, damage, etc, let my body pay the price 😜👍🙏
63) I began to ‘see’ things which were already there always, only waiting for my perception/नज़रिया/विभेद to deepen a bit more 😂. And, when I ‘started' to see things that the busy mind missed hitherto, a very unique kind of joy revealed itself within me🙏. Life is all about clarity about life itself, the ultimate perception 🙏. And this sense of Discrimination is unique to humans. Every positivity is relative to the power, sharpness & USE of the discriminatory_sense👍
64) i try to blabber about only what worked for me! 😜. This one, is not going to work for most people 🙏. Yet, they needn't miss a laugh about it 👍
I saw that my fellow citizens never had to undergo any structured training in evolving into a comprehensive ‘sense of responsibility’ towards the conduct of own life! Awareness about rights against others is growing phenomenally. ( Once i got convinced of this, all by myself, it became a guide to do away with expectations in life👍. As a by-product, the negativity owing to mismatch in situations with stupid expectations got obviated. A sizable quantity of such_negativity being low, happened to befriend a good_pace in the spiritual progress😥. “No expectations” is the key to meditation & life, alike….advised a Master😜. )
65) Desi epics were understood by me only according to the ‘deformities’ of my mind 😜. Even in tretaYug, Rama was exploited for being ‘good' 😂. Krish, enjoyed his life, just because he ignored the critics, and yet upheld “righteousness”/Dharma, in 100% sync with cosmic laws 🙏. ( I ain't as good as either 😥. What suits me best is to become ‘dead’ in the view of those who try to ‘use’ me for their vested interests, ignoring Dharma. For this, i had to push down the list of my wants & desires below the level of minimum_needs, taking care that i don't build up any resistance within. Acceptance works damn well👍 (by-product is a windfall, my mind could afford unfettered pursuit of spirituality 😜). Not quite easy for ‘anybody’ . Sanyas used to be a way out for minimal_needs, avoidance of emotional exploitation etc. But sanyas NEVER worked for escapists 😜. Very exciting, my efforts to strike a fine balance 🙏. )
66)The "way" we understood the three human faculties, 
brain, an organ for processing 
Mind, generating thoughts 
Intellect, using Discrimination and thereby adding knowledge in varied ways and forms....

This understanding becomes "tenable" only when we deepen the understanding itself through its functionality and the interdependence between these 3 😂


Blind faith, imagination, assumption, presumption etc are of zero use 🙂


Beyond that understanding, if we can 'harness' these 3( it's possible, but needs efforts, focus and practice 🙏.... Spiritual tools are more handy👍), our life experience itself deepens and turns purposeful 🙏

67) tears are medically “capillary action”
Extreme emotions fire the neuros🙏
We know of tears of joy and sorrow🙏
But spiritual tears?🤔
( I couldn't hide sobbing at the gate of a temple where i was disallowed on 12 jan, 2025, being a non_tribal by birth!... Mystic tears😜😜😜)
Fictitious example: Madam Murmu picks up the phone, asks to be connected to the soldier at border outpost, barks a command “i am the supreme commander in chief of armed forces…. I order you Fire!”. The soldiers fire. The sergeant, captain, major, Lieutenant etc “😳😳, किस के कहने पर ये बमबारी?🤔” clueless😂
The consecrated energy speaks to any fool wearing a compatible head_set, with noise_cancellation technology 🙏
68) Whether it is valid or not, at least for me, a litmus test of Genuine humility is knowledge. Obviously, I ought to at least sensitise myself to ‘feel’ that knowledge in the other, like a tester that can glow when it feels the electricity 🙏. (Pride due to some knowledge in exclusivity of others, doesn't need a tester/Yardstick 🤣. It's stagnated knowledge, stunted growth 🙏 ). So, say “i don't know 🙏”....needs profound knowledge about the depth of one's own ignorance 😜
69) When an acute mental patient needs someone ELSE to hospitalise them, there is a possibility that an enlightened fellow also gets misconstrued as an ‘eligible’ candidate. The JOKE is, that realised person won't protest. Instead, he will help the inmates+doctors alike😜, both of them Totally_clueless that they are the patients!
70) “no expectations is the key to meditation” said my teacher, adfing a profundity “it is also the key to life”.
Only when i attempted to ‘use’ the key, i confronted its hidden hurdle 😜. Very tough to become intensely involved, consciously all the time 😭. Had to be consistent, till it became a trait, not a habit 😜

71) My private+personal gratitude to Godji is : He has not denied me the opporChutney to regain my enlightened state🙏 ( its already there. Only the stubborn GRIME needs a scrubbing , with spiritual tools 😭…  Actually, every living human is ‘having’ this opportunity 🙏. It's only a koschan/question of our choice). And it is beyond a fellow human to deny me this 😜

72)Study of jurisPrudence in LLB is akin to study of quantum physics in Ayurveda 😜. 

Both grant a deeper insight, which comes 'handy' even in our routine and daily life 🙏


Subtlety is the only problem with both these subjects 😭. Both, the teacher & the student, need to be matching in their levels of perception 🙏🙏🙏
73) a funny thought ( i wish I am wrong 🙏)
Negativity in all its forms keeps seeking a partner ( hence , mostly a collective Karma)
Positivity in all its forms remains a ‘stand alone’ ( though present in many as a UNISON factor, not_unity, unitedly)
A loner since birth on a habitable island will find it difficult to acquire most of the negatives like laziness, dodging, fraud, stealing, pessimism, sustained_anger, etc . He doesn't have even a sample to compare/look_at, to know that he is a human being 🤣
74)contradictions, contrasts, conflicts, incoherence etc abounded in desi spiritual bijness 😜. Trust was adequate to obviate pursuit of resolution, before accepting both_the_opposites. Symbolic stories were available, but space constraints are in the present day CACHE memory. 🤣.
75) we totter as a kid, while learning to walk. Again we totter as an oldie 😂.
The intensity of injury is much greater in tottering as an oldie 👍🙏.
But if we are ‘prepared’ to keep aside the “PHYSICALITY” of tottering for w while & look, the qualitative difference can be seen🤣. If sighted, 🙏, it is good 👍. If unable to sight it, bad_luck🙏🙏😓 . No point verbalising it .
76) Today's Brahmins are almost ‘name sake’ but, when I tried to find out the “why” of embracing poverty consciously, I collect the subtle reasons only as I evolve 😥
One such untested reason could_be, they obviated the trap in the adage “power corrupts” 😜. Sensible guys with power would anyway respect, revere, and obey these beggars😜. Otherwise, a beggar doesn't seek ‘relevance’ in the society 👍🙏. No ego problem 🤣. (Until atleast 800 years ago, for 4000 years, a lineage of Traditional beggars 😜. Best insulation ever from mind games, karma, and all such nonsense 👍. I am constrained to ‘try it as sn experience’ only as a symbolism, privately ( फ़कीरी) to test the worth of my stupid ideas😜. Damn good 👍. Damn thing works! I can drop seeking_relevance so easily 😜🙏🙏🙏 

77)Flexibility of the mind is the key to the tool called  adaptability for a latent potential to innovate 🙏

78) a very funny thought 🙏. I can imagine a “bit”, the labour pain of a mom during the child birth . I gave birth to my blogs somewhere in my ‘head’. Just that, now its less stressful like a mom delivering her 20th baby😥🙏. A thousand plus blogs my pint_sized brain delivered! Healthy ones or not, the readers are a better judge, because my love for an ugly baby I delivered ( my blog) is a natural prejudice 😜

79) Except in one field, spirituality, merit in all forms and fields of human activities is sought to be destroyed by the innate greed in all forms in those who lack it🤣. It has Always been a number game. Spiritual merit is unavailable to be even sighted by those who lack it. And, the reason is too simple. Spirit doesn't ever lack or need anything 🙏😜. Try using+testing this ‘value’ to find out the secret “why Hinduism outlasts invasions and destructions of all kinds over centuries” unlike at other places on the planet 👍( at least when ‘no other testing tools seem to work’ 😜)

80) 😜

Something I can ‘stand by’ (what I say/said)

“Tatwa_bodh, essential for Atma_bodh is what distinguishes each human from others”

Concept awareness essential for spiritual awareness.


To evolve into Concept awareness ( which leads to spiritual awareness),

A syllabus:

How to:

a). Learn

b). Deepen perception

c). Stabilise emotions

d). Use the sense of Discrimination


(A debate if indispensable, has to be only_within 🙏. Same as MahaVakyas/declaratory

truths 😜🙏)

Converse theorem: concept awareness cannot be below a minimum standard in any Genuine researcher/PhD 😜

81). “Kanya ko bulaaow”( summon the kanya/bride) says the priest, camouflaging the “flouting” of definition of the word “kanya” 😜

( If I can afford Z++ security, I might growl to the priest “Damn it 😡… kanya is before puberty! Don't misguide “... )

The purpose was forgotten long ago. Can't help

🙏

82). I know this is gonna be tough to bite😜

Spiritual Gurus, when thoroughly convinced about the eligibility criteria of a disciple, resort to deploying bugs which are not in the algorithm of cosmic laws software and hasten the growth of that kid🙏. ( This ‘bug’ defies the cosmic rules related to all the 3 kinds of karmic residues—astroLogical, inherited & acquired karma ‘in-a’ living human 🙏”( I created a ₹0.00 voucher in a data entry once, to demonstrate to my compu_Officer that bugs, needn't be always in the program codes😜. That was 30 years ago, when softwares were primitive in commercial banks😓🙏)

83) If, trust is the base of a perfect understanding between 2 , the scope for misunderstanding due to a misleading situation is brushed aside by mutual patience, and the understanding surfaces 🙏

84)😂

Irony of 'life'.

We have the capacity to fully understand the justice which we can expect & are eligible to receive from "human_Judges". But they don't have the capacity to render it 😜


Divinity (Godji/whatever) , has a capacity to dispense FLAWLESS justice to humans ( dharmo rakshati rakshitah). But, we humans don't have the capacity to understand divine justi

ce 🙏😥

By default

 By default 



All our ‘habits’ are by-default functions in us🙂…. (If a response is like “ Nah!😡,”... then, even-denial is a ‘default’ item in us)



Joke : getting rid of unwanted habit 

H A B I T (remove “h’, trying bit_by_bit)

A  BIT ( remains.  remove ‘a’ now)

BiIT ( remains.  Try again. ‘b’ this time)

IT …., (it remains 🙏🤣…. Ready to give up)



Please see, 

Our sense of insecurity pursuades a good number of “default” responses in us. They become a second nature. Habit, concentrated is ‘default' or ‘second nature'.... 

A few of us find it difficult to get_out_of it🙏


We find it effort full to accept or speak truth ( even when we “want to” 🙏 ) because,  second nature doesn't require conscious effort. Doing opposite of ‘habit, default response or second nature’ needs conscious-effort EACH time🙏😭


At least among our trustworthy people,  is it okay to take efforts CONSCIOUSLY, and resist things like ‘denial, telling lies, etc’???


( A personal secret/weakness of mine 🙏…. My spouse complains , “not safe to tell you any secrets! By default, you blabber the truth 😡” …. I accept this allegation, but it suits my spiritual bijness, though it caused material loss)


A Major defective of default-habit in me is…..  intense-involvement in doing even a routine_mundane_nonsense!🙏😭 ( Denial,  refusal, terminological_inexactitude/lying, etc need my conscious effort! Too late to reverse my commercially unviable habits).


Shifting into opposite of any habit is a choice, but not quite easy, though simpal😜



Consciously yours,

Aging of Mind

 Aging of Mind


Strange idea isn’t it?


Well, aging generally refers to body when we say “I am aging”. Mind doesn’t really ‘age’. It is an abstract concept of ours, widely used, because of the experiences we go through, store, and even remember to recall during every kind of situation, emotional phases etc.


Is it not true that our faculties related to what we call as our ‘mind’, seems to sync with the aging of the body?


How to retain that ‘sharp’ mind of ours, no matter what we choose to do with it.

I thought, my experiences in certain areas where we do-share some kind of commonality, might be of a tiny value addition to others. ( If I like eating brinjals, I know, i cannot ‘expect’ every reader to think of my narrative about usefulness of brinjals and they should start liking it too! No point trying to add-value by singing praises about something that cannot be common)


Mind, is common to all humans. And it can be ‘expected’ that all of us do-like to keep it ‘young’.


Some situations in our lives end up ‘fatiguing’ the minds at a very young age (some kind of disappointments, some kind of non-fulfillment of desires etc.)... In such cases, the mind ages suddenly! They decide to ‘some-how’ go through this life, and resolve to live a very routine-mundane life. I guess this attempt might rejuvenate even such young bodied ones with a prematurely aged minds!

Those of us who managed to get away with our stubbornness's, adamancies, etc. during young age, with a sharp mind, would find the need to tone down these negatives in us to remain ‘relevant’. Eccentricities are tolerated only when it belongs to brilliant ones :)


Innovativeness helps the mind to retain its abilities. Unless there is some kind of intense-involvement in what we do, or like to do with a situation, innovation starves without its fuel.

If this idea is wrong, please stop reading any further.


After retirement, I saw that I could afford to slow down the pace of my life! Situation is not going to slow down to oblige me :) so, start a bit earlier to reach the deadline with youngsters around!

This slowing down (of doing things, thinking, calculating, conjuring :)) etc very naturally allowed me to focus better in my activity, physical or mental. My involvement got additional strength, with better focus. And involvement persuaded my alertness and awareness at my activity to keep myself on the ‘look out’ for a better way of doing the same thing ! Joy got started seeping in. When I am on the ‘look out’ for something, boredom is unable to gain entry into me! Innovation was something that I could never pull out of my self, my mind, or my pint-sized brains. It had to just ‘occur’ (like my meditations :)) and I didn’t try to look out for ‘innovation’ each time, though maya-madam decided to be liberal to me, as a reward for doing something with zero-expectations)....
As a by product of the sequence of these guidelines I had set up for myself, I found that my mind’s faculties have slowed down its aging. If ‘memory’ and its failing seems to us as a component of the mind, well.... I am no exception. I too tend to forget things, as I age! But, when i decide to remember something, that ‘focus, involvement, etc’ takes over from the auto-pilot-mode of aging memory:))

What I would suggest is....
try to focus a bit more on very routine and simple tasks that we do, despite our age! If possible do it a bit leisurely, very consciously, and get-involved! If this doesn’t work, there is nothing to lose! We did a very routine job in a better way. So, drop this idea if it doesn’t work. It worked for me too well right from my kid age! The-best advantage I got out of getting involved was, I kept that ‘boredom’ at a safe distance.
Best wishes,


innovatively yours,

A dishonest disclaimer

 A dishonest disclaimer.



Yep! 


I am honest about it ( that….my disclaimer is dishonest).



I was like this…..


I was into a maddening pace for 5 plus years , volunteering as backup support for freshers in a spiritual program. ( 5 hrs for 6 days a week, entirely for others…. seems like madness😜)


One among few freshers who lingered long_enough to notice this consistency in madness, asked me “sir, why do you spend so-much of your time on freshers ? You could have evolved faster, spending time on yourself?”



A disclaimer: I gave a dishonest answer which has advertisement_value 😜


I said “look….. by chance, if Godji decides to throw me into heaven after my death, I need a few familiar faces there_too, to say a ‘welcome’! Hell is no problem👍 familiar faces will seek me to exploit me perpetually 😜”

He was convinced 🙏

But I was dishonest! ( I grow faster, while propping up others on my shoulders, for_free😜)


Ain't  my disclaimer honestly_dishonest? 



Dishonestly yours,

Spiritual crisis?

 Spiritual crisis


At once a paradoxical practicality.


The paradox is we never become aware of it, till we reach a point in our lives( lifetimes,  if believable to a reader) when, no other form of crisis can affect us emotionally 😜 ( require proof?  Search for “aapat-Sanyasam” which was available until at least 1½ centuries ago in Bharat).


At my workplace, 4 decades ago, a boss stupefied me by his dynamism! He was a whirlwind throughout his office hours!  ( my guess is, if he depended on somebody for help explicitly, it was me🙏…. I could easily remain ‘aware’ of his activities from 9 am to 6 pm daily, at office, for almost 2 plus years, so my ‘guess’ is an understatement🙏… I am certain). I asked him once “sir can we not prepare well ahead of few certainities atleast, before they happen?” ….  He said, “well psn…… as a race, we Indians are addicted to “crisis management” ….it is no more a choice! We deal with a situation only when it turns into a crisis”.  An unforgettable lesson for me 🙏.  I understood the corollary instantly! 😜…  a mind can never_allow_us to recognise spirituality as a ‘need, forget about its becoming a crisis! Crisis manages us, whether we are good at crisis-management or not!


I was an exception!  Right from my kid age, nothing else mattered to me, except some vague, abstract, seeking in me. Since I couldn't even verbalize it, I never could share it with my elders( in our kid-age, we  only tell our parents/elders, our desires! They grant or reject it, but we know that we ‘asked. I didn’t know what_to_ask! 🙏😭). It is  entirely a different matter that, there were quite a few who knew, I was thirsty for it, and their “timings” were flawless😜….


I keep trying to persuade those around me to buy something which, I know for certain, they aren't interested in, and will never be interested in. Obviously,  my MRP is zero! And bargains are in minuses 😜… i spend myself into them for free😜…  Harmlessness, is an indispensable pre-requisite, for those who are trying to market spirituality! 


Harmlessy yours,

Customised spiritual tools

 Ancient giants of Bharat were thoroughly professional in perfecting a customized spiritual tool for each of their disciples. Often such tools used to be a brief chant, prescribed via an initiation. But there were additional tools, which were meant for functional applications as well. Goal was invariably only one--liberation!


Sometimes,  this concept of customisation works even with a dumb idiot like me, when situation is favorable 😜 ( there is an adage "ख़ुदा मेहरबान तो गधा भी पहलवान.... When God turns benevolent,  even a donkey turns into an invincible wrestler")


Recently, someone wrote "I am wondering....... complexity and complicated...two words! 🤔( and so on...)"



I recalled a person, 'uniquely_close' to me.  ( quite soon, we both could 'drop' the 'dependence' on our mutual relatives_wala bonds, to remain_close to each other 😜....  we transcended the fact that we are brothers_in_law, mutually🙂.




Once, he spelt out his problem_about_problems😜


"Yaar, how do you deal with confusing situations,  where both options 'seem' appropriate, despite their contrast to each other?" he quizzed! 

I found the 'situation' to be just right👍... we were walking towards a temple, which he wanted me to 'see'!  

Now, that 'walk'  took away my need to ensure that he is focused, alert and_yet_relaxed😜


I said, "simple boss!  Forget the COMPLEXITIES of each option. No need to complicate it with your_confusions!"


His focus sharpened enough to interject with "phir kya karoon? ( then, what should I do? )"... not waiting for my deliberate_pause, which was to get his attention 😳


I said in slow_motion 😜 "just look at both the options, to check whether they are life positive or life negative  it will work fine for you👍"


Before I could continue with how to deploy this 'patch algorithm' he again exclaimed "fantastic yaar! You made it damn simple! 🙏😜"


I continued, "see.... the possibilities are, both options, you might_find to be 1)one of them life positive 2)both life positive 3)both life negative 4) etc..... now you can choose any, using this litmus test, or opt_out to hunt for that proverbial 'Plan-B' like our cunning politicians 😜🙏🙏🙏"


( my guess is, he found this tool handy till his last breath 🙏🙏🙏)


I can't 'speak' about his_trust in_me🙏.... too-sacred, though Nothing secretive/private/personal/confidential/etc about it!


Testily yours,

Sync with nature

 To write about “nature” one has to match the levels of some great being like Mr Ralph Waldo Emerson 🙂🙏

But then,  to understand Emerson, a reader needs extraordinary skills! ( here, that ‘extra’ is to be looked at as ‘more-ordinary’.... simplicity at its best! )


I can try to look together with my readers, with all the humility possible by me, as to ‘how well we sync with nature?’


When we ‘started’ to feel a ‘little’ accountable/responsible for spoiling our ecology, environment too badly, we invoked our ResponsAbility to try to restore the nature-of-nature. We are ‘thinking’ in terms of polluting nature a bit less! ( logic is the only ‘fellow’ presenting hurdles to our efforts! 😜. Example: advanced nations are trying to ‘get-away' with logical-polluting levels, by trading carbon-entitlements, with innocent societies of underdeveloped nations!)


As an individual,  a baby is full of emotions. Logic is absent, till it learns logic! 

Does “nature” use logic? ( nature's rules are there🙏….  We humans strive to understand “nature” using our_logic! Right now, we are stuck at understanding quantum theory and are trying to understand quantum entanglement theory, scientifically!  Our definition of “scientifically“ cannot do without logic😜



Within us, which of the 2 is a gadget that came as a factory-fitting ? Logic or emotions?    Adults get more attracted towards a baby, than a baby does towards we_adults! Isn't it?  We get attracted towards ‘what’ in that baby? Face? Eyes? Even a born-blind baby ‘stirs’ something in us, and we feel an emotional bond, isn't it? 


While growing up, we got too busy to do well with our logic! A few among us, even managed to supress emotions a lot, to do “well” in their lives! Such ones, ended up asking “what's the point?”, and then attempted to detach themselves from their possessions to revive their emotions😜. 



Is it necessary to neglect/ignore/avoid/supress/etc ….our emotions,  its potentials,  to succeed in “life”?  Other life forms don't need to think_of “success” in their life the way we do!  And we “brand” them as “it's their nature”!  Then what's ours?  Was our intellect to be used to ignore emotions in favor of evolving into logical skills? 


How do we relate with others? Logically, emotionally, or an customised-blend of both? 😜


Does it make sense to try to “maintain“ our synchronicity with nature? ( at birth, we too were as_natural as all other life forms! A baby “cries” and at times the mom “fails” to know_logically, ‘why is my baby crying now?’  a joke: my female cousins and elders often used to seek my unmarried sisters help to solve this puzzle “can you find out why my_baby is crying now?”.... and my sister remained unmarried throughout her life, while she was the expert around us, to find out the “emotinal” reason of a baby crying for no_apparent_reason! The joke was, she would proceed to pacify that baby, instead of Wasting_time to educate its mom😜



Spirituality,  ….. most of us find it elusive( it doesn't ‘evade’ us🙏… we evade it using our-logic, to excuse_ourselves, saying “logically, it is useless!” Medical science tooooo/too, unhesitantly chops off our appendix using the logic “it's anyway useless as an organ👍… “ to relieve a patient from appendicitis 😜



Emotionally yours,

Embedded qualities

 Embedded qualities 


Today's minds are familiar with embedded software. Hardwares are easier to understand the functional abilities and limitations in them.

And ignorance or carelessness to maintain-awareness about them can give birth to annoying ‘bugs’ 😜 ( at my work place, a menu was designed to make the ‘cursor’ wait at an input box, till some numerals are punched. That amount column will pop-up an error message like “amount cannot be zero” if the data-entry person taps the “enter” button with default-zero!  I discovered a ‘way’,  to make the cursor ‘jump’ to the next data field😜. And then, I could generate a ‘set’ of balanced vouchers, with one of them showing a zero amount😂…. Ofcourse, once I could demonstrate the existence of the bug to my systems incharge,  we deleted that transaction!  “Pointers” are obscure but active, even in embedded softwares! Just “invoke” it and it springs to “life”)

Am I able to drive the point home? Young turks/techies should decide.



What about a human hardware?

Emotions and logic, as it's software?

Logic can be       an “upgraded” software, if we choose to do it 🙏

Emotions? Does it need an upgrade, or just invocation? 


Look at a new born. 

Almost zero logic in it as a newborn baby. But equipped with tools called ‘learning-skills’ ….  A mom, inadvertently ‘teaches’ to the baby “hey, kiddo, you catch my attention faster, if you cry aloud, and I scurry to feed my milk to you👍” And the same mom wonders much later 🤔 “how did my child turn into a cry-baby? He keeps lamenting for everything and anything! 🙄😳” ( well, embedded software got upgraded! Logic got cemented & concretized,  “get your things by complaining a LOT” …..that innocent baby-cry got more sophisticated as he grew into a youth! HR people at workplace will classify him as an illogical-cribbing-deadweight! )


An AI robot presents a difficulty to the inventors! They struggle to replicate human emotions into that machine, while they are unable to design a software, which needs only an invocation to make it functional,  like in human beings! ( a baby's emotions function at its peak levels, during all its waking hours. It laughs, cries, or shows anger quite intensely, and damn-illogically, isn't it? Pure emotions ‘appeal’ a lot to an adult, observing a baby, and they find it tough to answer my ‘silly-koschan’ like “what exactly in a baby is attracting your loving-affection towards it? Toothless-laugh? Cheeks, chin, forehead, eyes, ears, or altogether? “ 🤔).


Our dispute with existence of Gawd/God is essentially due to its lack of a logical-appeal, isn't it? A kid would easily become ‘victimised’ into a blind-belief that “God exists”, because he isn’t-even aware of needing a logical reasoning to support that belief! And as a grown up, most ones give-up the possibility to experience that ‘entity’  which eludes an accurate description 🤣. Representative-definitions fail to substantiate God as an existing entity🙏. ( perhaps, only-until we ‘touch’ the core of our-own-being which powers both, logic & emotions in us! Most of us keep-searching for that core, that power, inside the accumulated data-dump, we know as our mind😜. Data is plural of datum,  not the ‘power-source’ that operates the pile called Karmic-residue/sanchita-or-prarabhda karma! 


How to invigorate our emotional prowess to function at its peak, with total control over it?  A deeper level software right within us, “maybe”?  

As long as “logic” decides the arena and scope of our exploratory software in us, the source of our emotional software can elude+evade us😜🙏🙏🙏. And logic keeps flexing it ever-growing muscles to negate anything that is unavailable to logical-scrutiny! We dismiss a baby's illogical intense emotion,  despite its attraction which rivets our attention 😜

Tools to tap our “core” were perfected long ago, in ancient Bharat! But appeal for trying out those tools, needs an “emotion”( not logic), called TRUST.  



Trustingly yours,

Vibes

 Latest fashion is to talk about our 'vibes' 😂


Doesn't matter, if the damn-thing doesn't happen in us really. ( feel-good part of saying it, copypasting a trendy-phrase, gives vicarious boost to the psyche! "Positive vibes" sends a good feel, when told to somebody!  

I feel gratitude to this modern fashion,  for atleast 'talking' about it! Whereas, the reality often is, the body language matches 'somebody's' desires of mind there( own and/or others) but nothing to do with actual 'vibes'.


As a kid, I used to feel only subtle level vibes. I couldn't even 'name' it. ( I recognize it, from the memory of it, only after3½ decades! )


Physical aspects of vibes are easier to make a humble beginning.  A 5 feet tall, 2 feet wide "sound amplifier" placed at a huge hall for music etc, is within the 'reach' of anybody standing 6 inches away from it, when it blares😂. Stomach vibrates in-sympathy😜

Somebody was describing one's own experience of vibes within, while producing the 3 basic sounds in nature, as a part of a spiritual practice. 

I felt, it is time to tell that person, a little more about vibes and its physical aspects! Better to recall my experiences.  Convincing is easier!🙏🙂


I wrote:

f) the 'f'( 6th item of practices, a,b,c,d,e,f) has made a small but significant step towards progress!



How well somebody progresses or responds, has always-been a mystery for me, ever since I started volunteering in a humble way from sept 1992.


At Tatabad centre( a place for backup support to freshers), a few would say " it vibrates a little" ( when I do and they merely sit in vajrasana eyes closed, a feet away, facing me😂)



An uninitiated lady at home, idling near kitchen said "after a while, I felt as if I was doing the a,u,m"( what she didn't realise was...... if she were 'doing' it.... no surprise. When she initiates it --the vibes are natural-- and listens to it as well.)

While I was doing it, only the 'hearing' ought-to-happen! Why that 'doing-feeling'?



I didn't 'explain'! 🙏😰 ( I will have to recall the tuning-fork experiment taught at school in the physics lab!😭...   not worth narrating😂...   mind dumps many of 'such'  quiz-puzzles in few minutes🙏😔...   element of 'wonder' ceases to nag us after we grow into adulthood!


Vibrantly yours,

Nothing

 "Nothing" said my kid age friend of past 70s like me, when we both looked together at 'purpose' of human life!


I wrote thereafter.....

🤣



When you said "nothing"



You are 100% right!


Full marks!



( अब,  eggjam/exam में  maths का  answer सही है,  तो  full marks ही न? 

समझ के,  या अंधी चोट,  ये तो अध्यापक नहीं,  गुरु ही जान सकता है 🙏)



ख़ैर, 


"Nothingness" is said to be the "base of this universe"

Logically, vast emptiness of space, way beyond galaxies etc..... is still a "space".  

Space, used to be a nothing for us. Now, we deepened our perception enough to guess assertively. कि,  quantum entanglement,  a subtle phenomenon,  functions_in_space 😄🤣



We ought to "test our tools" using which we conclude🙏


Mind तक पहुंचने के बाद,  "intellect "  became the big fish into the net. 

Intellect cannot function with mind's incessant interference ( all known wise men agree! Yet, we ought to confirm this for our_own_sake🙏)


If we are "sure", that

We never bothered to see, if there can be inputs other than 5 sense organs.  It's just a question of deepening sensitivity ( an advanced AI robot will conclude that humans do stupid things🤣....  emotion के बारे में उसको मालूम होने की no  गुंजाईश  & emotions are illogical 😂🤣....   limitations of input devices मायने रखता है 🙏)


How deep can we go into human intelligence?

Ancients have "delved" deeper into it.


They "attempted" to transcend mind( not by-pass  mind), to explore .


We talk of my_mind, my_body. So, a possibility of that "me, my" as something else!


The entire "nature" through its life forms,   'might' offer some clue(they must have deduced).



In short, the 'essence' of their search and the inference, which they conveyed to posterity,  can be summed up as "seeking to expand".  आज तक ये  disprove नही हुआ ! 🙂


The manifestation of this 'seeking expansion'  is easily seen in endless greed in few humans😆


Trees, animals etc seek expansion in numerous ways! 



If this theory is valid, then it makes sense to find out "core" source of this seeking ( to expand). 



बहुत है 😄 ( there's a lot, in that nothingness 🙏😔. Experiential only!)


Everything yours,

Basics & fundamentals

 Quite similar looking terms, words. ( not as easy as difference between "achievement" & "accomplishment"😜)

The difference being too subtle, we pick an easy route. Treat both as same. Consequence is 'not my problem. ( some day, all our items of 'not mine' list will become "our problem". Later "our problems" become ìnevitable, irreparable,  un-solvable, etc, when mutual trust turns unreachable! 


We became oblivious to the "basics" of life! 

A new born baby actually reminds us of the neglected "basics". But, we are too busy to "observe" keenly and learn from a "fresh and new" life! 


Is not "interdependence" basic to life?

To maintain life, the fundamentals need to be strong. Premature babies are with weak fundamentals.... it may need additional-support ( incubator, protection from climate, from tough to digest intakes, from negative treatments if emotionally weak.... etc).


It is this "deeper" understanding of basics and fundamentals that enabled ancients to "transcend" even nature! 


Trust and love are "viewed" in exclusivity.  It is okay to use "love" as basic to bonding, since "trust" eludes a thorough grasp😂😜 ( can we mistrust somebody, and still love him? Vive-versa?)


Moksha, liberation is tough only due to our inability to understand and then also_accept the basics and fundamentals of life at the required_level🙏...  who within us has_to_understand? Body, which is dependent on mind and the being? ( "being", is too subtle for a mind to identify it! ). Mind is dependent on the "being". When our dependents 'enslave' us too much, where is the question of freedom?( moksha, liberation).  


Where do we start? ( if it makes 'sense' to live as-best-as possible?)

Why should I bother about basics and fundamentals? ( anyway, when these 2 start shaking badly, the "why" gets dissolved! Eternity can wait, longer than we can👍.... so, finish all our games and then say "and now....yoga"--- 1st line of Patanjali's book---.... Or, attend to basics, strengthen the "related fundamentals"  enjoy eternity throughout,  with a free_being....being_free internally +experientially 🙏... Choice is ours.  A drama artist can enjoy-plus-perform his role well only when he is aware-throughout, that it is only 'a role'. An artist "stuck" into his role misses retirement 😉. He refuses to "come out of that role". Misery is the only outcome, whether that "role" was a hero's, villain's, comedian's or anything! )


Did I get the fundamentals right, about the basics of our lives? 


Basically yours,

psn(3 April,  2025)

Insight

 An elusive concept.

Only when our normal sight starts fading, we try to think of 'accommodating' that in-sight.

Mind is like an overcrowded bus. We are already in a tight corner, at the mercy of people tightly pressing us 360° around us, and mind says, "why should I try to accommodate this new-passenger called insight? Stupid to squeeze further in, and say 'Mr insight, sit/here"' and offer him a strip of seat 3 inches wide, to park his bottom😜" 


Kids have insights, in a good working condition. They "learn" quickly, "this animating creature called mom, responds better, if I cry aloud"👍...  thus, we nurture a negative trait in that baby "keep crying, to get better attention in your life!"...  kids learn by example, not words, because their insight into words is too fragile. They are not M.A. in literature 😜


A fellow went to visit a lady, famous for charity! Very rich lady. Never refuses anything asked. He asked for "the" most precious thing she owned. A huge jewel. A precious shining stone. She gave it away, without hesitation ( that 'pause' absent). A few days later, he came back to her and said "please take it back.... and instead, give me that..... which made you donate such a precious stone so_effortlessly!!!" ( was he asking for her "insight" into spirituality?  Dunno!🙄😳)



Tools to deepen our insight? 

Obviously..... intelligence 🙏

How to access intelligence,  if our own intellect is not mention_worthy?

Get a fellow of proven intelligence,  to plant that damn thing called intelligence into us👍...  this gives birth to another problem. Trust!

Right now, we "use" trust very loosely . We tell a total stranger at a railway platform " I trust you 😊.  Keep an eye on my luggage, till I come back from the toilet in 2 minutes" ( even he knows, this "trust" is due to my bursting bladder, waiting to be emptied urgently😜)


Cellular intelligence?  

It behaves each moment, very unpredictable! The response to each type of intake----- through 5 sensory organs, each breath, each drink, each bite of food, evokes a very different response. Ancients thought, best "campus" to get trained into deepening our insight! Keep watching our inwards, by inducing a pattern of breath, muscular movements,  activating voluntary and later involuntary ones. mind gives up, trying to offer its prejudiced-preconclusions about what to expect from inside of our physiology. Slowly that_dexterity( of insight, unhindered by our over-crowded mind) spreads  while focusing onto our outside situation.  Hopefully,  our insight-into-outside deepens slowly😜

Not that insight is too uncommon. That humble fellow selling "curios" at a tourist site, has enough insight to know "how much he can cheat his customer?"! 👍. He learns from experience,  tourists never visit that site again. Nor can they "afford" to come back to quarrel with him😜. He can exploit overcharging his goods, sell substandard fakes etc!  The grocer in my street is not so_priviledged like that boy, fooling a tourist. Grocer depends solely on repeat_customers daily. He needs to guarantee even the stupid potato, looking good, but rotting inside😭. Divergent type of "insight".


Insight into concept-about-concepts?  

Worse than that is concept about 'spirits? ( the 'base' for SpiritUal concept? ( dunno!🙏😳)


ExSightfully yours( insight, became "ex" like ex-staff, ex-wife, etc)

Compatibility & perception

 Compatibility decides our perception. 

Our primitive versions of earlier SIMs inside our mobile handsets were compatible with lower bandwidth. Hence, it won't "sense/perceive" the Tower in a western country. And we said, "this mobile doesn't work there" Problem was with SIM and handset took the blame 😂

When we fail to "perceive" something,  will it not be wise to check Compatibility-issues also? 

A true incident 'educated' me about consequences of inadequate literacy 😜. My younger brother on a very busy morning suddenly screamed "my belt is stinging me". I was a kid of 10 and he was around just 4. My dad said, "don't start your tantrums now. We all are busy, getting ready to go for work, school etc. Just get dressed f-a-s-t ..."  Due to increased pain, the crescendo of his voice increased! Dad got angry and smacked him. The half-trowsers, yet to be buttoned, fell down with its loosely-inserted "belt".  A scorpion jumped out of the belt-loops.  My dad stared jaw_dropped! I could read dad's expression "what did I do? I punished this kid, instead of protecting him from that scorpion! (Obviously,  at his age, he wouldn't be literate enough to convey exactly, in a language which I am compatible with)!"  Rest of the story is irrelevant here🙏


Humans can be flexible by choice, to adjust their bandwidth to become compatible with their dependants who are yet to acquire few more bandwidths🙏  ( successful teachers of 6 types in ancient  Bharat were dexterous at this flexibility 😜).

School teachers, team leaders, family heads, politicians, union leaders....etc are the ones to become flexible to "sense" their dependants 🙏


My defect :  I am unable to write blogs that can be comprehended by all readers alike. 🙏😰😭 (I fare slightly better, on one_one basis, when the other decides to trust me "a little") 

 My rewards : one reader in a lakh (google statistics says so😜. A lakh views), happened to reach one of the "coveted states of samadhis" reading that stuff, testing this phenomenon several times! He fulfilled the scientific requirement of "element_of_repetitiousness" to be certain about the corelation of something "mystic" happening inside him & reading my nonsense,  each time!😜....  other-than this stray incident,  incompatibility is what abounds, with my blogs😂.... ( at least, I set an example in myself,  about "what a reader should_not_be", while expressing themselves to others!🙏)

I draw consolation from several authors of ancient scriptures, proverbs, adages, sayings etc! ( they didn't compromise with values, merely because their audiences were stubbornly refusing to evolve!).   Text books in maths, gave ridiculously easy examples and I had "issues" only with 'excercises' at the end of each chapter! I even_used to wonder, "may be, that chap/author too, found those sums too tough, and therefore passed_on his burden to my maths_teacher! Kid_age thoughts are not compatible with wisdom😜


Incompatibly yours,

psn(29 March, 2025)


Tail_bit teaser (😜):  nature's software is hack-proof! Programmers can neither conceive, not copypaste it from nature, to make their A.I. machines, robots compatible enough to “sense/perceive” human emotions! 🤣


To my WhatsApp group: 

 Not that,


I do not attempt at all,


To solve my incompatibility issues 🙏



A humorous incident!

I learnt the concept of "dispersion of light" in my physics lab at school! ( 🙂.... that prism, cardboard.... VIBGYOR? remember? 😳🙏)


I became curious.

Can I convey this concept to toddlers, kids in my school?

Yeps!  👍 I devised a trick! 

I stood near water tank( drinking water from 3 dozen taps at the base). Kids gathered. I filled my mouth with as much water as I can. Cheeks pained, puffed out like a water balloon. I sprayed out the water in a fine-mist, using tight-lipped pressure,


And the kids witnessed a temporary "faint coloured rainbow" in that mist, with morning-rays of sun inclined at about 45° through that water-mist,....🤣


( whether those kids would-remember this, was not my concern at my teenage then, because  it didn’t even occur to me)

Co-relating concepts we know

 Interesting concept, of why/how to co-relate the concepts known to us!


I learnt "siphon" in physics. Tried it to draw water from the tap 1½ ft. higher than ground level to my water tank 8 feet deep. 'Airtight' it should be--- was the concept in "siphon".  It didn't work! Air bubbles get in, even into the "main pipe" 3 feet below ground.

I had to revisit physics. Then I kept adding other chapters( co-relating them "wisely". This wisdom took 3 decades). I added "viscosity,  molecular affinity, capillary action" etc!🙏😰  I "wished" if-only my physics teacher had seeded the idea(concept of "seminars") that in real life, we might need to corelate these allied concepts! Anyway, I solved the 'water problem' staying within rules of municipality,  despite very low pressure of supply.


Kids learn "gravity" and avoid stepping on a banana peel. It is "centre of Gravity"( one step deeper). Then, one day a girl child is thrilled when the outer-edge of her long petticoat defies-gravity, when she played spinning fast till her head feels giddy!  That "wonder" of the heavy petticoat defying gravity while speeding around, didn't get a chance to "stay" longer. Or else, a bicycle would have been born long ago, alongside the birth of petticoats😜

4 wheels are better stable, but speed can cause loss of control on a slippery surface like hardened snow or oil spill on roads, for a speeding car🤣.  Why not try becoming unavailable to road-contact? Yes, fly! ( aeroplanes). Spacecraft, obviating displacement of air😜. 

Spiritual concepts need ability to co-relate them, when symbolism is resorted to, to represent concepts subtler than a minds ability to comprehend them 🙏.  Adamancy in viewing them in isolation or in exclusivity of other correlated concepts can only-breed dis-trust in these concepts. "Religions" resorted to compelling their followers to "believe" with "faith". Now, grasp became a matter of rare-chance for religious people( any blind-belief foreclosed the opportunity to look, see, behold, observe and then perceive the original, made available via symbolism 🙏)


Desi ancients were good at "debugging" their software called "way of life", renamed by invaders as Hinduism. Simply "live" in a particular way, and we evolve. Simply keep chanting a few words in a language, which is in conformity with quantum physics, and experiences will dawn😜🙏🙏🙏


It is the distortion of the prescriptions alongside the tools suggested as way of life, which forced the extinction of ancient "wisdom". That-wisdom, which elevated a human into his highest-human-possibility! ( a doctor "prescribes the dosage, duration and conditions alongside the name of pills he writes on the paper in an illegible handwriting 😜... focus "more" for deciphering it, and we remember it better👍🙏


My "silly" questions were "partly" aimed at provoking out minds to revisit our abilities to conceptualize oddities that we seldom care to even notice! I "wished" to have peepals/people wiser than me around👍, so that I can "afford" being silly, throughout my_life😜. Dat's my idea/concept of carefree living🤣...

My defect

 Among many defects, this one irritates my readers most!

I am not even sure that it's my_defect. ( until a few readers point it out, how am I to be sure of my assumption? )


Defect :  I load too many concepts in my sentences😭

Result : readers feel "it is so difficult to understand, what is it, that this fool is trying to convey?"🤔


Source : my mind's  way_of_thinking. I love concepts🙏😭 ( trouble started only when I decided to share my ideas🙏...  when ideas were just_echoing within me_only, others are spared 😜)


Broadly, 2 types of concepts----timeless & time/situation bound.

The concept called "Gravity",  is relevant for our body only on earth. ( Madam Sunita Williams, was taken in a wheelchair, after exiting the landing capsule! Her body might have "forgotten" temporarily, "how to deal with earth's gravity, while walking"😜...  Eleven months in space! Got used to "effortlessness" in physical_living😳. Hence time&space bound!


Spiritual related concepts are irrelevant for our physical existence! ( maybe, if our spirit evolves, as a result of abiding by those concepts, the "result/consequences" might make out living effortless! There are stories about Spiritual giants moving on earth, being UNAVAILABLE  to earth's gravity😜....  even when we are too_joyous, body feels a "little" lighter! Sadness makes us feel the gravity more!🙏).

Spirit is timeless. Obviously,  it's concepts too ride on it, likewise😜....  timeless concepts.


Concept of concepts? ( mind_bound? Dunno! Objectivist epistemology deals with it)



Defectively yours,

Rare kind of health checkup

 This kind of personal experiences,  I wouldn't have thought of blogging. But at 70+  "am I going to take it beyond my grave? Damn it! 😡... let somebody in posterity explore it as a possibility! " said my stupid mind 🙏


Prologue: Naadi vaidya is unique among 6 types of medical sciences, in one aspect atleast,  when it evades granting a passmark to an aspirant, in its entrance eggjam/exam itself 😜 ("sensing" the 3 naadis is too subtle for an aspirant, compared to sensing a "pulse" with finger tips! Human_level touch_sensitivity is challenged 🙏)


Body of blog :

A naadi doctor holding my wrist, feeling my naadis, said " his Guru naadi" won't be available to sense_it, for another 2 hours."(1992 yr)

When asked "why so?" .... he explained " this fellow must have been at_meditation a while ago!"

Others, felt satisfied.

I felt "deep gratitude 🙏"  ...  rarest of rare kinds of 'health check up' to assess the level of meditaShun, as a practice for me. 

( the whole drama had lot more details,  but I am focusing on only value_addition portions!)


Epilogue:  if and when Guru-naadi can be "sensed" by a gifted expert in naadi-shashtra( a science), the life-energy is assessed better than an MBBS doctor. We find rare instances of a "corpse" waking up(😜) to life, on the way to burial/cremation, on a bier, after that medico writes out a death_certificate. He certifies only "clinical" death. Guru nadi is the subtlest of life-energies, waiting a bit longer to "revive" even after the heart has stopped🙏


( it was indecent to 'touch' the wrist of a female, to "test" her meditation 😰...  so I went in for a tougher option. Just watch! It took a decade, to get some proficiency🙏...   I won't spoil the livelihood of half-baked 'teachers' advertising "Learn meditation from me". रोजी रोटी का सवाल है,  उनका 😔. I don't need to commercialize spirituality for my daily_bread!)

Roar of silence

 Should I keep quiet?

I sometimes ask even_myself this! ( seldom, a response to my blabber 🤣)


A tourist_guide even staked his job, requesting a group "if you too can keep quiet for a moment...."

It happened thus:

This tourist was showing the roaring Niagra-Falls to a group of Madams....standing as close as they were allowed at the railings( fine mist rising from the waterfall was moistening their faces)

The guide said " this is the famous Niagara. Its roar can be heard several miles away. If you too can keep quiet for a moment,  even you can hear it 🙏"


Am I muting the roar_of_silence, with my incessant blabber? 😭🙏

Miserliness

 Miserliness 


Those few who try to be frugal in exhausting resources that belong to the society, are at times a bit unfortunate,  when even_the close ones around him brand him as a miser !


Examples of society's resources are like water, air, fuel, electricity, staple food grains etc ( very essential for life to happen). When these and such items become scarce, money loses its intrinsic value! People compete to pay a little extra for these. Negative inflation happens!  Deficit financing, within control is positive_inflation, and  autocorrects itself over a period of time).



Other life forms are naturally frugal. A honeybee saves, so also an ant. But a lion can't refrigerate his meat_food. Lion doesn't indulge in fun_killing . We humans are beings of “Volitional consciousness“( as per objectivist epistemology). We can choose sadism to exploit. We can choose to be greedy. 


If greed to accumulate something,  is the fuel for hesitation to spend_for need, it is miserliness!


Ideally, a choice to become “inclusive”( treat entire universe as my_family, as said in sanskrit as VasudaivaKutumbakam), then….very naturally, we look at our “needs” and then, create a want/desire for it. Other than our needs, we naturally become a custodian/caretaker, of whatever possessions that happen to come within our control.


(My personal experience: when I got a job, I am supposed to take care my needs, all by myself. That salary was my sole_source of inflow! It barely sufficed “my needs” which was a little beyond food, shelter and clothing. Over decades, my needs seldom expanded, except for another “life” which happened through me-- not by_me🙏. 

Post retirement,  the wants started shrinking a little more than that of needs! This is an oddity, exceptional to rare few  like me. Among those few I am the worst type of idiot. But, a side_benefit was, I was constrained to “wonder + ponder” over sources of “wants & desires”!  Like, i ask myself “i really need this damn thing. But, unless I want_or_desire it, how am I going to try_to_get_it?”)



A small consolation creeper in when, slogans like “save water/LPG/electricity…. do not waste food” etc became Viral( thanks to information technology). Now, only my savings can cause an eye_sore to those spendthrifts around me, whose incomes were similar to me. Richer and poorer ones spare me😜



Lavishly yours,

psn(23 March, 2025)



PostScript: 

Funny side of miserliness. 



Not easy to be_miserly, in use of water. We can be lavish, though a decent_name for such lavishness is "wasteage".

( suez, supplying 24/7 in coimbatore is capitalizing on the constricted_grasp of water_miserliness, to mint money😜.  My storage tank of 2000 litres becomes their storage tank of 2 lakh litres . Simple.  24/7 was from my tank. Now it is their tank😜, and for which, they depend on my lavishness to charge me "extra" beyond 15000 litres per month. This 15000 litres is parallel to minimum charges😜

Once that 24/7 is not from my tank, I "tend" to become lavish🤣🤣🤣)



Whereas,

Air.... 

If I turn miserly in breathing ( not really easy😜), 

then, I become healthy.

Heart works longer! Life span increases along side sensibleness( mere aging is useless, if senility accompanies🙏😰).

Anger reduces, tension reduces,  anxiety reduces....etc....if, I consciously decide to become miserly in consuming oxygenated_air 😜


😰

Since I am unable to afford
'the'  lavishness of copypastes/forwards( pun intended),
I resort to the_miserliness
'of' resorting to writing by_myself, often 🙏

The breath

 Human breath, if you may please ....( 🙏) focus on.


( this blog is churned out of my personal experience,  and hence, the obvious disclaimer is "see if it also_seems_to_work for you, or else, delete it forever" 😜🙏)



The "breath"



can be manipulated by both, the body and the mind. ( mind needs the coordination of the body, though)


When sensory perceptions are withdrawn, while body is in deep sleep with an ideal posture, 

And when dreams are absent ( mind is inactive)......



The breath responds to the surrounding, on a 'need based manner ( 'needs' are well-taken-care of in an ICU🙏😜).  IF, rejuvenation recouping is the priority, blood cells transmit the "urgency" via its designated network ( "available " network,  ideally is neuros, via brain ).

( meditative practices of_the ancient ones are super_tuned to make this happen at-will!   🙂... any further elaboration might elude a grasp for want of experience in nadi-channels in us ....numbering some 72,000🙄)




Meanwhile,

An effort to deepen awareness, 

To merely "observe" ensuring relaxation,  as_to, "which of the 2, and how?"  is our breath responding to? ( body &/or mind).


Mind's  state is tougher to "assess" for want of awareness of its non-verbal thoughts!😰🙏


During any prescribed practice, both body--to a large extent  AND the_mind, to some extent  is "tamed".


Other than during practice, this attempt to observe our breath pattern(in all its perceivable dimensions), is precious for deepening our awareness!  🙏 (elaboration is again,  at the doorstep of complexities 🙏😔)


Heaving/breathing ( a sigh of relief, 😜)

Yours, as ever,

Wisdom

 Wisdom


if I were really-wise, i wouldn’t have been talking, about it 😭

Probably, I ‘think’ i can talk ‘about’ wisdom, without waiting to become one (waiting to become wise, and then to speak ‘about it’ might not work! Because, I would then see-clearly, the futility in that excercise😜


We don’t need to be beautiful, to speak ‘about’ beauty

An ugly person can be ‘sensitive’ enough, to perceive beauty, and therefore should be able to appreciate beauty, and if he is capable of expressing well, using words, he might be able to even ‘speak’ about it!


A beautiful person need not be aware of one’s own beauty (though, such cases are rare)

That person cannot possibly understand, if somebody tells him “Hey, you are indeed beautiful!”


Anger might elude the awareness of the person who is right now ‘caught up into that emotion, anger’. A person who is a ‘little wise’ might make it a point to ‘become’ fore-warned, when anger creeps into him, and he benefits in getting ‘a chance’ to be able to contain it to a ‘possible extent’ ( a wise person doesn't ‘become’ angry…. but, he has the freedom to feign anger when the situation seems easier to ‘handle’ by looking-angry to others.


Wisdom, doesn’t exist without letting the wise person knowing that he is wise, unlike beauty , anger, confusion, etc


Shall we try to look at ‘sensitivity’ at intellectual levels?
Physical sensitivity at skin level, a doctor can CONFIRM, using a piece of cotton, and then a sharp pin, to touch our ‘doubtful’ area of the skin and asking us ‘ able to feel it now?” . we know already, and only the doctor ‘needs’ our words “yes/no”. Insensitivity of a piece of skin announces death of that part of the skin!


Emotional sensitivity, varies with each_type_of_emotion.
Some people miss to_laugh at a good joke! (can’t help it. If we try to point out their lack of sensitivity towards humour, they ‘become’ angry :) àt once! anger-sensitivity is a reaction, not a ‘sensitivity’ ….. strictly speaking— there is a subtle difference, though, we commonly address an anger-prone-person as “he is a bit too-sensitive” Please see– ‘a bit’ and ‘too’ are opposites :)) ‘too’ indicates ‘too much’ !!

Right now, most of us ‘feel’ only pain deep-enough, to evoke tears as an ‘emotional-response’ (robots of A.I. need to be programmed to manufacture-tears, if they sustain an injury. They cannot ‘feel’ hurt like us-humans! Even words can hurt-us, without needing an injury :)) Again, a reaction to words, being not-enough wise, to ‘sense’/be senseAbled/sensible enough to know that words of insult are a pre-conclusion by the other, and we do not become ‘that’, merely because the other fool misjudges me and says “you are a fool” !!!


Like ‘joy’ or even_happiness evoking tears among a few lucky ones among us….. luckier ones, sensitized enough towards music, can beget tears, listening to a beautiful musical performance! … not all of them who know a_lot about_music are necessarily sensitized enough to experience it deep_enough to get tears😜. ( desi concept of music, elaborates it saying “music is technically flawless, but somehow, that bhav/bhavam is missing 😰”. A performance which might fail a little, in rhythm, laya, swara, or any of its elements might be “rich” in emotion of bhava, and might evoke tears in a sensitized listener🙏

I tried to look for ways to ‘become wise’ !
Wisdom eluded me for too long :((
then, it struck me! “hey! why not try SENSITIVITY instead?
Not as easy as I thought_it_was ….
Sensitivity ‘reveals’ its next layer saying ‘here I am’, only after I stabilize on its previous one!


spiritual sensitivity, presented to me as the-biggest-challenge :((

( details of the hurdles i faced, are too-mystic 😜, to be encapsuled in words 🙏😰)

somewhere, I had a very vague_feeling, as if that elusive fellow called wisdom, is trying to tease-me, oftener than ever before! (the tragic part is physical-level-sensitivity is unable to hold-on/wait, owing to age, to say a “‘hello!” to that wisdom, if-and-when it is likely to dawn!.... Darkness is perennially unable to meet the sunlight to wish a “good morning” ).

Silent mind

 This state of mind( silence), dawns seldom and invariably too late in present day situation.


A quickly_available litmus test ( whether such 'state' is okay?) is.... the errors of judgement by our mind turns fewer and fewer.



See, if we are capable of even 1 thought  which is not a judgement or conclusion of some_sort?


Mind( our thought processes) is a very powerful tool, but only when it is well_tamed!  A processor-chip, gifted by nature, exclusively to humans. Other life forms have an embedded software like the keyboard, with an infallible & instantaneous responsive system .  🤣



Western objectivist philosophy  calls human as a being of Volitional consciousness  ( the tools to push this capability to it's peak possible levels are formulated long ago in Bharat,  but still in its primitive stage in the west! 🙂)


Silently yours,

Mosquito versus meditation

 Mosquito versus meditation 

Mosquito suddenly became a teacher+yardstick for me,

During 1992.

🤣

By parameters "known" to me then
I had preconcluded
That I "relax" sufficiently well, ( especially with sufficient practice of that guided meditation where conscious 'tensing and relaxing' of each part of body is prescribed!  Initially, we use voluntary muscles etc, to create tension & then let-go.... relaxation 'happens'  involuntarily 😜)

The teacher said "Mosquito is an intelligent creature.
It won't waste its venom. It pokes the needle a "little" to check the stiffness of your skin. If soft, it gently pushes the needle further, draws a drop of blood, departs!
Only it's venom causes 'pain' to you. We have had 'butterfly-needles' for baby's injections? Mosquito has better ones🙏
So, if you are keen to avoid pain, just relax a little more. Compromise. 1 drop blood-donation isn't going to deplete you. Alternatively,  sit inside a Mosquito net. Still worse, use those toxic cream, fumes etc"

So,
Choice was mine.
1) learn to relax deep enough ( even the 7 layers of skin gets 😌 relaxed ---to atleast Mosquito-standards, if not better😭)
2) spend money and health on expensive defence-procurement.

I too was capable of stubbornity at-will 😜
I decided to learn that cursed thing called skin-level-relaxation to meet my co-habitants called Mosquitoes😡.

It took hell of a
Lot of time to learn.  Humble beginning was extra painful.  Sitting not-meditating, I notice an uninvited guest, Mosquito landing on my forearm
He is busy & focused . He pokes the needle. I get "alert" I too focus.
Dammit....pain is double? 🤔
( lesson : mere focusing increases my skin-tension!!! That lady nurse "knows" . A wise nurse says "look away". Atleast the incremental tensing due to focus is reduced.  Cellular-level intelligence will "naturally resist".  The distinction became quite-clear.  A scientist looking at a phenomenon 'affects the effects' a little 😳)

Anyway, mind-over-matter wala-concept was needed to be deployed😭
My mind had to gather enough power to instruct my neuro-network, to tell the skin-cells "allow the enemy to get inside your fortress!" ( easy to write it here in a few lines. "Project" took time!😜😜

Now, the definition of "relaxing" is still undergoing refinement in me.
Perhaps, only in a GRAVE-situation, that is....I reach my body's final destination ( burial or cremation---let alive ones choose🙏).....my tension about "how deep to relax" will pause-to-tense 😜

Metabolic activity dropping dramatically,  I was-to-discover, is a short-cut to relax via a by-pass-surgery of stressfull-physical efforts! Confused? ( that's the-mosquito in me😜... injecting kaanfusion/confusion👍

Being Good

 Being Good!


“Who suffers more? Good ones or the bad ones?” Asked the teacher!


It was a yoga program.

Of course “good ones”( my mind prompted out of “real-life” experience 🙏😭



I chided my mind “okay, dammit😡… now don't repeat my stories related to this….. I paid for this class. Can't miss the next few sentences, getting drowned into your re-telecast of those tragic episodes! Just shut up and listen”


I didn't miss the recipe. Teacher narrated a short story. A cobra took an advice of a saint too-seriouly 😜 ( be good unto others)

A kid accidentally threw a ball, and it hurt this snake “a little only” ( my mind “tries” to divert me with “yep! You too thought, little-help to colleagues and they got addicted to exploiting your goodness…remember? “ I had to stop my mind again “buddy, didn't I tell you to shut-up. I don't want to miss the-lesson in that story! I can't even throw you OUT…. YOU ARE MY-MIND😭… P-L-E-A-S-E  Shut up”


I didn't miss the “continuity”.

The kid was surprised. That ‘stupid’ snake didn’t hisssss!😳

Soon kids got the news( this cobra is an idiot. Doesn't react 😜)

They had fun, throwing pebbles, then stones at this ‘good’ snake!

Badly bruised…the cobra once again…went to that saint, complained.

The saint laughed,”fool….you didn't listen CAREFULLY, I told you “BE good, not LOOK-good.”... who told you not to hissssss? “ the snake got the teachings! 1)pay attention when taught 2)’good’ is relevant to ‘self, not for advertisements etc! 


Now,

My tragic sample-story ( of being “good” like that STUPID snake).

I don't want to be tooo-good, telling too many of my tragic-stories, lest you will be bored😜


A colleague used to ‘tease’ me “PSN…you are just-lucky, you appeared for bank job at north( nagpur). Here, you would have flopped😂. Competitors are better here!”( I was supposed to be “good”! I didn't react with “dammit, I topped the list there!😡… combined list of graduates, and non-graduates, and I was a non graduate! “ ……actually this guy used to ask me to explain circulars in english/hindi--bi-lingual)

One day, he requested “hey, psn….draft a 2-minute welcome speech. Make it good! Delegates from all over India “ 

I wrote.

He read it on Mike.

Next day, he asks me “psn,  what did you write? I just read it mechanically. Normally,  only a 2-second feeble claps for welcome speeches. But, yesterday they clapped for 5 minutes, that too STANDING😳”

I didn't know what to say😭

I tried “looking good”, by saying “oh! Did they applause? Maybe they call it ‘standing ovation’…. Sorry-yaar, I forgot what wrote, in those 10 sentences🙏… anyway,  nothing harmful isnt it?  Let's forget👍”


I don't think I can learn to “hissssss” during this-life-time😰😭


But I thank Gawd, I didn’t have to learn afresh “how to hissssss at my mind, by  asking it to shut-up😜”( meditations seemed a “bit” easier, sooner in me🙏🙏🙏)



Badly yours,

Placebo effect

 Placebo effect


We know what that means 🙏

( a typical example is : my classmate at school….now an eminent surgeon,  used to tell me 4 decades ago “ some patients insist on having an non-existent ailment. I inject plain water, and tell them ‘very powerful injection’. And they get rid of their symptoms “.....  )


Enough research is going on on placebo effect. Mind, when positive, seems to discharge curative material abundantly enough in the body, hastening the “healing” process…


One instance where a training in placebo effect works, and I came across it was….  Coast guards are trained to chant “i must swim” and use it 15 minutes before hypothermiasets in them…..  It seems when hypothermia sets in while trying to rescue people drowned in near-zero degrees Celsius sea water( Coasts of U.K. etc).... icy water numbs the brain. Body can do only the last-few instructions of the brain, of 15 minutes ago. So, “I must swim” increases the chances of survival. An example of “placebo “ of mind.



But ancient Bharat innovated this placebo very scientifically, and structured it to “function” extremely well,  consciously ( not like a “numbed brain”😜)


Certain meditative practices deepens into extremely relaxed state of physiology,  while maitining razor-sharp alertness and awareness.  Once this is within ‘a reach’ the person can actualize his strong visualizations at very-very subtle levels too! Seemingly super-human tasks become possible.  Siddhi, is one popular branch of spirituality where this “sophisticated “ format of placebo-meditations are deployed to acquire such tough capabilities.  Synthesis with past karma ( prarabhda, inherited & acquired) helps karma get dissolved, using these deep meditative states!



Not quite a convincing blog this one🙏 ( especially the description of ancient sophistication-part of placebo! ).  Research, using ailments and ways to cure, basically differs from research using “health” and ways to enhance it to peak levels of performance 🙏.  Results/findings differ dimensionally🙏. Utilitarian aspects depend on “findings” as presented by that-mind🙏



Plainly yours,

psn(2nd march 2025)

Imposing ideas

 Imposing ideas


Advertisement world survives on imposing ideas on its victims.

And the ‘disclaimer’ in fine print survives on our laziness to read it.


I am not good at imposing ideas.

And……somehow, by some strange luck, it so happened that for all these 7 decades, I never succumbed to any imposition by others🤣 ( not even an instruction like “pray” ( at a temple) really impressed me. I used to join palms, and make-a-show, so that they( elders) focus on their-prayer, instead of wasting  their precious visit on me🙏😰. I assumed-the, “ maybe it works for them” 


Is it not a “desire” surmounted by a huge expectation, of that desire to get-fulfilled, which provides a vulnerability to become victimized to “ideas” that may not suit_us, work_for_us?



I told my son “brush your teeth the first thing, early morning”. He obeyed. It worked for_him_too. But I didn’t try to tell my toothless grandpa “hey! You don't brush ….then why are you IMPOSING that idea on me?” 


Teachers find it hard, to impose on certain kids the idea “sit quietly while in the class!”( now, doctors found it a lucrative source to siphon money from loving parents, by selling the idea that “restlessness in certain kids is a disorder”...  ADHD--ATTENTION-DEFICIT/HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER).

 Unless, a kid sits calm and focused,  how to thrust the lessons into its head?  Can we call it imposing ideas….. that A,B,C,D….1,2,3,4? The kid is yet to learn politics of language_imposition, NEP, anti_hindi protest, etc😜


I see a speeding truck about to crush a deaf person, looking away. Do I appeal to him “sir, I dont want to impose my idea ‘you better step aside, to escape a fatal accident” and leave it to his choice to contemplate_deep, before succumbing to my_idea.. I just push him hard. He sustains minor abrasions on his forearms, falling suddenly! But he is alive🙏. I thank God, I saved him! 



When do I end up, imposing my_ideas? 

Should I wait till the other person realises that I have victimized him into accepting my ideas? 

Can I not use my ‘brains’ to distinguish between what is common and can be conveyed versus what is not going to work for others, just because it did for me? ( a guru noticed his deciple, copypasting an idea “if my guru can drink liquors,  I too can” and was buying a drink, and drank it. That guru stopped at a blacksmiths workshop, picked a cubicle of molten iron, gulped it. Then the Guru turned to look at disciple and that look conveyed “your turn now…. Copypaste this too dammit😡”... the disciple hung his head down)


Apart from being honest in sharing my experiences ( clearly distinguishing….what worked, and what did not…for me) I learnt that my ideas need to be workable for the others. A phrase,  “Value-addition” seems a useful reminder, till I find a better phrase, a comprehensive one🙏.


Experience of having_shared ideas( experience based) also educates me on what seemingly suits others, but doesn't appeal_enough to invoke their passion to fuel an effort to try it.


Capitalists, socialists, communists, fundamentalists, extremists, radicals….and now paid tool-kits experts, are not/never going to subscribe to this idea of “do not impose ideas on others for personal ego-satisfaction”...  Inadvertently,  certain propagationists of certain religions use unfair means( within the loopholes of law😜) to impose their “beliefs” on forced-converts!  


A color-blind, yet to get tested for it, might recognise different shades of “grey” and even convince me “look this is what you call as blue, in your language, isn't it?” And I agree👍 … indeed it is blue for me, I can see colours! ( and I don't know really, if the bandwidth of waves i call as “blue” is actually a “green” for the other fellow, but he calls my_blue as his_blue, though, the colour he sees is “green”. Labels of colors don't matter, as long as we are consistent in identifying it the same way, each time🙏).



How about trying to make the other, find an appeal to pursue his_spirit? 🤣 can't impose even a pursuit ( only thereafter, a “question” can arise about which_of the 4 paths, and tools of each one!🙏😰😰😰).


Insurance,  is a subject-matter of solicitation ( so is spirituality. ) . Even law prohibits imposing “insurance “ policy🤣.


Habit-forming negatives shouldn't be made available even as visual temptations ( forget about imposing such temptations).


Well,

Did I impose this blog to be read? ( anyway,  seldom do my blogs touch readers deep enough!🙏… quite harmless)



Harmlessly yours,

Doing

 We do many things with our lives! We do things, with or without boredom( in all its varieties and types, known by its distinct names of boredom).  An aspirant happened to ask me a "small question" to know, what I would suggest, to deepen the breathing-technique, as a part of coming closer to the "being" in us, that source-of-life in us, the soul, the spirit, aatmaa, whatever.  Of course,  the popular name, to suit our convenience is "spirituality"


My response was....... ""What shall I do?"


It is asked in "all innocence"( as far as I am concerned)



As far as you are concerned, it is asked, relating to what I said "about" breath, nose, nostrils, etc. etc.....



I can answer out of a) my concern & b) your concern too!


My concerns a) I should do, whatever I do, at any point of time  _*at my best*_ 🙏

My best, is always going to result into my intensity at its best😜

And if I manage it well I end up, living "life" intensely!  

And consequently,  I avoid a "dull" moment in my life🙏. 

Even if boredom tries to invade me, I live-it ( that boredom _*so intensely*_ that..... its fuel gets expended damn fast and it vanishes out of me!  Note---we can't be "tense" about "boredom"😜.. we can be intense!  So, I deal with "boredom" spending zero energy😜 and drain all its Armour! ( worst case scenario? If boredom can be "dealt" intensely, I can deal with anything intensely! )



b) your concern.  Right now, you can't do-away with breathing! It is a "job" we do 24/7 😰

All we are doing it...... just trying to give "some" due-respect to it, for a little-while, a bit consciously,  a bit alert, a bit aware too!😰

And that fundamental sign of life in us, the breath.....he is responding to us with his richest treasures.  He releases us from the shackles of needless-repetitious thought-processes for a few nano-seconds. Then, if we pursue,  milli-seconds, fractions of 1 seconds, a-second, and couple of seconds.....etc


Probably, when we "gain" consciousness after a deep sleep, we become breath-aware, ....may not be too-consciously.... bekos, "where am I?" hurrys to pester us! 



We shall look at the doing-part of "what to do" as we progress a little further👍 ( time scale is uncertain 🙏....  but yes, time-scale is inversely proportional to my intensity at doing anything.) ..... തപസ്/tapas/तपस्या........is താപം,ताप, heat. A symbolism to represent intensity. High temperatures can make anything amenable quickly.  Cast iron, steel, etc.   Diamond can't resist even a matchstick flame😜...despite being hardest substance!

Unquote.



Then I thought, am I intense about sharing it?

Yep!


Unintentionally yours,

Bequeath

 “to arrange for something to be given to somebody after you have died”

(Google meaning)



Even as a kid, I used to wonder!


What all, can be that “something“ that we leave behind, when we “go”????


Tangible things were given a distinct name in the ancient days “benedictions/anugraha”

Intangible ones were named “blessings/aasheervada”...



I looked around ( for tell_tale evidences)

Dilapidated structures like old forts and temples only! ( that means, those old guys were more inclined about inclusiveness😰🙏…. If, residences of their-own descendants were a priority, I “could have” noticed a 1500 year old house too! 🙄.

Instead, mostly temples, and a few forts. Both were for ‘society’ not family.



We are bequeathing tons of non-biodegradable litter, garbage 🤣

We didn't spare even the periphery of our planet! Our rockets need-programming to “avoid” collusion with junk of our-own earlier space crafts! 



Anyway,  I thank my “fate” 🙏

My stupid-curiosity led to “discovery” of fascinating intangible things bequethed by my ancestors ( called rishis! I chant their “names” …..a “bit” consciously,  when I perform certain rituals prescribed for descendants of traditional beggars1👍… we beg in sanskrit—-merely because the attached sound-forms of sanskrit are……vouched by modern scientists……to be in CONFORMITY with laws of Quantum physics😜. 

Sounds awesome?  Not really😰. Inheriting such sophisticated software, comes with “conditions apply”!😭. I need to perpetually strive to dedicate this intangible blessings and the derivatives thereof, the tangible benediction thereof, to all the animate-plus-inanimate life-forms of this Universe🙏😰. An insurmountable task! I can only do-my-best! This inclusiveness i inherited is labeled as “vasudeiva kutumbakam”( again, sanskrit 😭—-this universe if my-family!  Functional aspect doesn't prevent me from dealing effectively/appropriately with terrorists 😜.   To misguide us one fool had bequeathed cleverly only-one-half of a vedic quote, “ahimsa parama dharma”. I had to hunt for missing half “dharma himsa thatha-eva cha” ( “non violence is ultimate dharma” first half. Second is “dhaarmic-violence is likewise too”! Dharma means cosmic laws, infallible, foolproof, flawless! Human laws are for “some kind of orderliness in a society” not always a provider of justice🙏



Spiritual concepts( way beyond the sensory levels of perception) are the highest of bequeathed items of my ancients 🙏. They guide me to reach the highest-human-possibility. How-best am I going to “inherit” this bequeathal?  It is entirely upto me!😰🙏

Hindu-way-of-life, is the subtlest among “tangible” bequeathals! 😜… i needed to sharpen my alertness+awareness to “humanly-best” levels to inherit these!  Early symptoms/signs of my having inherited these subtle, tangible items is…..I begin to “sense” the chaitanya, the subtle-energies of the Mega-powerhouses called temples🙏…. If I don't sense it, I merely visit a temple to “shout” my demands, as if the Godji residing therein, has gone deaf over centuries😜🙏… I copy paste this shouting-ritual from my recent ancestors who abstained inheritance of sensitivity! Then, I might genetically-bequeath my negatives to my descendants ( like anger, fear, hate, resistance etc) and thereby script the doom of my posterity 😭🙏… I need to take care! I should produce  a better and an improved-version-only, out of me! 🙏



Inherently inherited,

Ever yours,

Knowing ( latent things)

 "Many knew"....( something "big" is going to happen! 🤣)



🤣



Difficult to "prove" in a court. 

Because, court accepts only_ADMISSIBLE_evidence😰🙏


While, politicians 'depend' on  outsourced info( to know), ....



Knowing something by ourselves is based on deepened perceptional abilities🙏 ( luck_factor is only about our mind becoming "receptive" enough to deduce from available info🙏)



How do we know, what we know? ( is dealt clearly in a book, Ayn Rand "An introduction  to objectivist epistemology". Tough to grasp🙏).



But the "possibility" of knowing things, can be understood,  from real_examples!



A clerk( in a bank) was lamenting "I got punished for no fault" . Story is real, though as old as 1977. He narrated it after an year! I got convinced. I "knew" it, from his narrative. Proving it was a challenge!  Cash was short by ₹ 5000, when he "handed" over keys of safe to regular cashier after 3 days of temporary charge. 

Clue "came" from the extra-question I asked him😜


"Which denomination?" I quizzed.

Half-heartedly, he said, "5's only"

1000 pieces? I "wondered" 😳 ( nobody accepts 1000 pieces of 5's, noiselessly!)


I easily proved his innocence, using the "records" of denomination totals of receipts and payments of 'cash' of those 3 days! ( the culprit confessed when he "knew" that escape was tough😜. The monetary part of punishment was reversed+restored. The innocent victim was exonerated 🙏. I felt grateful to divinity!)



A huge FCNR deposit( foreign currency) got closed. I said " now a big advance(loan) account also will get closed"( no way to prove the "connection", but concerned people who "knew" about that tie-up were surprised by my correct guess😜).



Delhi drafts paying branch informed H.O. reconciliation "hey! Some fellow sitting in coimbatore has correctly "solved" unreconciled entries of our dilli-ddPaying! 😳" ( I didn't have to prove how_I_did it😜. Nobody is keen to learn_concepts after 40+ age😜... learning curve is horizontal by then.



Toughest in "knowing" for me was.... looking at a 3-dozen people sitting eyes closed, for meditation 😜. They all look alike, sitting eyes closed, ZERO  movement & no expression 😰🙏.  "Is meditaShun really happening inside them?" A futile-looking question!  For most of us, "knowing" of own-meditation is a problem😜


Clue is simple, but not easy! And, I remain "loyal" to the spiritual tradition of withholding that "secret". No qualifications are needed. Just perception 🙏



Partially spiritual incident.

At 10 am at main branch(cbe) I told spl.asst. doing signature verification of cheques "sir, just keep a watch, today... even your normally-calm customers will become slightly-abnormal than usual 😜"

At 3 pm, he quizzed me "hey! How did you know???"🤔

I told him humbly "sir celestial bodies influence human minds! Usually, moon_alone, but imperceptibly 🙏.... "


Then I added an "admissible evidence"😜

I said, "on full moon days, tides are higher---fishermen don't  venture into deep seas.  Human body is 70 %  water. Wardens find chronic+acute inmates of mental health homes tougher to handle!  We are aam_aadmi. We too get influenced, a_little! Today is full moon day, and certain larger stars, and positioned_planets in our solar system accelerate moon's influence on all water bodies!".... he "😳😳😳"( a close friend he 'was'... he is no more!🙏😰😰).



We make a difference to ourselves,  our co-habitants & posterity by the DEPTH of our ability of 'knowing' 🙏. 



Sorry for such long narrative🙏


 Knowìngly yours,

Thoughtless state

 If we are very sure about what our thoughts are, verbal, non-verbal,  emotional, etc.... it might be easier to know, what a thoughtless state "feels" like! Utility of this seemingly-futile exercise, we can look at, but it needs a little patience😜


Verbal thoughts we know👍 ( babies, don't know. They are yet to learn words 😰🙏)



We are trying to examine the nature of non-verbal thoughts. 



Emotions are itself nonverbal. ( though we assigned names/labels to those emotions, classifying them, based on experiences and occurrences....isn't it?)

"Emotionless" is yet a "name" only 🙂( when actually,  the desire to live is a positive emotion)



ख़ैर 



What about "labels" for everything we see around , and identify subtly, and yet call it as a thoughtless state? ( तो क्या हुआ?     कुछ नहीं 🙏 ....  ये  भी  एक  thought है  बस 😔)


Whereas,

In our deep sleep

That "bit" of sleep, where the medical term REM(rapid eye movements) is not there.... 

Unawares, we are in a thoughtless-state! 

despite being unaware of /during,,,,, this thoughtless state, are we not getting refreshed? Restored? Rejuvenated? 

( ancients "noticed" the WORTH/VALUE/USEFULNESS of this thoughtless state, for their  well being! 

and.....

strove to bring that-state within the realm of self-awareness 🙏....  काफी मुश्किल है,  पर संभावना भी है 🙏...  the process, got sophisticated,  over "times"...😜...... isn't it? We heard of things like dhyaan/chan, meditaShun etc?

daaktarrs/doctors advise nurses "don't wake a patient for any dosage-intake of pills! We don't have a drug yet, for what a sleep can do")


If the foregoing appeals, no words are further-necessary. If it doesn't appeal, any further of, mere-words are going to work🙏


Non-verbally yours,

Non-verbal thoughts

 Non-verbal thoughts 




A mild sample, as a convincing evidence?




Sitting on a sofa, in our drawing room, very calm, very silent, zero thinking_process, 


just visualize oneself, glancing across the hall. 

Only a fleeting glance. No thoughts👍

Eyes glide over each object, _*effortlessly*_ isn't it? ( door, curtain, windows, its frame, chairs across,  fan, teapoy/old name?, table, newspapers, carpet, mat, etc.... no thoughts)



Now, from behind that large easy recliner sofa, "something" pops out....a strange "thing"....😳😳😳

Mind races to "label" it (? What_the_hell? .... alien?  Like those English movies? 😱)


Mind _*cannot permit*_ the eyes to travel any further!  Name that moving object, seemingly a-life-form, before continuing that glancing_across😡



What was happening?

We were "labelling" each tiny object, table chair, fan, carpet, fan, etc. At a supersonic speed--- too fast, to call it a "thought".  😂



What about labels of very abstract concepts? ( here is a space.      Here is a pressurized space.  A crevice. A fragrant breeze. A killer-fart.... etc?)



Then, what-the-hell is that real silence? ( arey.... input devices of info, .....withdraw them consciously  like it happens by itself during a deep sleep👍... not easy?

Ofcourse,  simple aint always not easy! American slang of dabal/double negatives😜....   "not easy" ain't "uneasy" though a consequence.... 😜)



Thoughtlessly yours,

Observation

 Very good 'observation'....




Any observation to be qualitatively 'good',  needs a few subtler components to-be at a higher/better level.




The interweave between breath and observation is funny( mystic factor).  I am reminded of an ancient adage . 


"നായയെ കണ്ടാൽ കല്ല് കാണില്ല.   കല്ല് കണ്ടാൽ നായയെ കാണില്ല!" 


Over a period of time, the meaning got distorted🙏


Distorted meaning : when we sight a dog, we don't find a stone to throw at it, and by the time we see a stone to pick up, the dog escaped.



True meaning : a marvelous sculptor created a dog's statue. It looks "real". When we are lost into admiration for real-like dog, we aren't reminded that it's a mere stone/statue. We miss the skill of sculpture,  when focusing at the quality of "single" hard rock/stone.



Observently yours,

psn(3 Feb,2025)
