Why Gurus seem secretive?

 Why Gurus seem secretive?

There is a popular short story in Malayalam.

Four blind men try to feel "how an elephant is?"

Their description:

First one holding the tail describes what he 'touched' 

Second one touches the leg and says "elephant is like a pillar of 1 feet diameter 

Third one described it holding the trunk "a very thick but  tapering flexible hanging branch"

Fourth one it's underbelly "a curved ceiling, heavy "

None of them reached the actual"elephant " 🤣

Spiritual practices are like the elephant (beyond reach of a Single practitioner, experiencing it like one blind fellow 🤣 . ) Even the "combined" description of all the 4 blind is not going to 'reach' the accuracy 😜.

There have been"rishis" who spent their whole life, in perfecting JUST_1_yogaAasana, like VajraAasana🙏.  

Wise Gurus, seldom indulge into pegging the mind of their students into their own limited experience of doing a practice 🙏

( I have learnt this concept, the Hard_way....🙏.

The most sophisticated type of KapalBhaathi yielded unexpected response from a spectrum of birds, when I touched 3000 repetitions per session, steadily incrementing the number over 11 months, starting with 25 times🙏. I discovered that birds could sense the "frequency " of energy waves emitted during the practice 😜. My stunted 'idea' of 'sound' tore open its shell of limited understanding 🙏. I also realised that, the same practice 'holds' many more mysteries, unthinkable for me to reach/unravel, during this lifetime 🤣.)

Discretely yours,

Mind's Fullness

 Mindfulness

🤣

Apologies ( for the icon of laughter 🙏)

But, I found myself trying to “keep my mind EMPTY” as much as possible 🙏😭

( Damn thing seems to work)

Oh yes! The ‘true’ sense of it( mindfulness) is a noble goal👍🙏.  “Trying to be mind-ful” of what our mind is doing with us, most of the time 👍 A very good thing🙏

Only that, our desi ancients “dealt” with the minding_the_mind in a different way 😓. They researched with greater intensity and discovered what_works_better! I merely copypasted their experience, instead of re-inventing the wheel ( technology) afresh🙏. Meditation is all about “mindfulness! Problem is, meditation strives to keep it empty, not full 😜

Whatever”occupies” our mind most, becomes the ‘leader’ of our life!

I want to lead a “good” life👍

Here starts the problem 😜 

I try to plan the design for a good life!

Today, money seems to”decide” a good life. Money invites a ”security“ , quite obviously 🙏. Chasing of money+security becomes a consequence. 

Now, the consequence Occupies our mind all the time 😜.

Whole life, we chase money & its security. Everything else, including relationship, becomes “relative” to it. Aged dad & mom being no more of use for my primary goal( money & security) become a burden😓. I compromise, spending bare minimum to keep the security alive( society might disturb my_security, if I TOTALLY abandon those two rotten vegetables 🙂. So, oldage home.

Promotion is a sub_goal. For that….I need to slog! Slogging feels burdensome. If security ( goodwill, is a security) is manageable, I bribe, I appease to get promoted, escaping from the slogging.

The sense of security constricts our inclusiveness. Kids try to copy only ‘what appears to Work’ for their parents . We perpetuate our_goals  plus the chase_technology👍( inadvertently though).

Defensiveness is a consequence of our chase for security. 

Just try the consequences to become the goal, and the goal might become the consequence.

Nature can give us a realistic & practicable example.

Coconut tree.

Do we nurture it because of nuts or does it yield nuts only_because We_nurture it? Which is the consequence? 

A doctor loves to save lives. Money becomes an Unavoidable consequence. People Develop trust and repeat visits! ( Whereas, money as a goal breeds corruption in that doctors mind🙏. Money occupies the mind as a primary goal, and no “space” to focus on diagnosis 😜. ill fame, disrepute, mistrust guaranteed 🙏👍).

Spiritual pursuit as a goal, compels us to drop off whatever seems a hurdle in its way.😭. As a consequence, chase and the tension related to chasing after material comfort, tools and gadgets accrues by itself, if the situation warrants, and therefore, the efforts are barest minimal , namely survival. All the other life forms chase material things only_for_survival. 

We look at “peace” as a goal, and it's consequences engaged us in an endless chase! If peace is viewed as a consequence, we discover that peace was already in us as a basic nature👍. Our chase disturbed the peace. A baby or a bull, both are utterly peaceful if well_fed😜. A money chaser despite a full stomach, faces indigestion 😜.

Once a mind gets “filled” with “good life, comfort, security etc” as a goal, the chase becomes an irreversible consequence 🙏. Struggle of chasing this goal becomes a full time job.  Coconut tree is assured of a “good, comfortable & secured life” without any need to chase these🤣. It simply complies with nature's design of yielding nuts. If no human is around to nourish it, that tree yields lesser nuts. But still it is peaceful, comfortable and secure, as per nature's plan accordingly 🙏

A very “typical” and easily_verifiable example is Mr N.D.Modi 🙏. His goal of life (as per his own words) is “Life for others, not for himself”( dedicating one's own life, selflessly…..is a consequence of this goal). He “got” money as an earned income, ONLY after he became a combo of MLA+CM.  politics chased him. PM’s post chased him. Z_category security, free housing, high class food, 24/7 exclusive medical attention etc are all CONSEQUENTIAL perks😜. Bulk of all other politicians struggle endlessly to ensure, retain these perks. Modi's secret eludes their grasp. Bulk of his words are Without Any Politics 😜. No other politician was targeted Ever_before, like he is, today🤣.  His_goal is not easy to be copypasted 🙏. ( It didn't matter to him that he was unnoticed for first 4 decades of his life. He yielded very few nuts, till 40 or so, in terms of “serving others”. Voters accidentally nourished him. He yields nuts in “billions of tons—-worldwide😥🙏🙏🙏”.

Aimlessly yours,

Power of collective thoughts

 Power of collective thoughts 

What we call as ‘history’ is a sequential collection of events which are very significant, prominent and looked at as a lesson for the progeny (future generations).

Then we classify human-history( related to cultural aspects of humans, leaning towards emotions) and the materialistic history ( evolution of sciences of all kinds, which we name as “physics, maths, architecture, industry, agriculture etc) which records the stages and states of handling material life.

It is the human history which sways according to the power of collective thought-power of humans, their minds, and their aspirations 🙏

A joke:

A master hypnotist  was demonstrating his skills to a large audience in a packed hall. He was swinging an antique pocket watch holding it by its chain. The audience were really under his hypnotic spell👍. Suddenly a link in that chain broke loose, being an old watch of his great_great_grandpa😂. The watch fell and broke. That hypnotist broke his_own Chain_of_thoughts, due to the sentiments attached to his pocket watch. He exclaimed “Oh Shit!”.

It was reported that the hall needed shut_down for an entire week, to get it thoroughly cleaned 🤣

When an entire society decides voluntarily (as a result of mass_spiritual_evolvement) to adhere to basics of ‘life’ which are in synchronicity with the core_basics of the creation of this universe, the thought_processes of even a routine_life acquire the requirements of constituting what we know today by the name “satYug”( an era of Truth). Only divine incarnations qualify a significant mention in the history of that_era.  During our present era, if a solitary individual ‘lives’ like a normal average civilian of ‘satYug’, he becomes a rarity, and therefore becomes an eternal legend of the history of the ‘present' era(KaliYug)🙏

If any worthwhile achievement is desired at the present, all we need to do is to focus our thoughts collectively towards the desired goal, as often as we can, and as_intensely as we_can🙏. Not quite an easy task, when our thoughts, words and deeds are getting diversified at a maddening pace, due to our chaotic lifestyle today🙏.  Intensity of any_thought is the first victim of high_speed chaos.  Pain is perhaps the only emotion we experience ‘intensely’ today😥🙏.  Among the ‘positive' emotions, the element of “wonder”/vismaya, is almost extinct among grown up's 🙏. Whereas in a baby, it is “wonderment” which is most_intense, most of its waking hours 🙏.  Chaotic lifestyle can't afford to wonder😜.  

How to deal with our “thoughts”? 

Why at_all bother about ‘thoughts’? 🤣.

Two ways of answering this. 

1.Why else would I be thrown into a mental asylum, if it were not my thoughts which causes trouble to people around me? 😜. ( Normally abnormal find me a misfit, when I become abnormally_abnormal.  Realistically, I am an Exception today because I am abnormally_normal, thanks to my spiritual quest, and others around are unable to classify me as a ‘fit case' to be sent into a mental health home 🙏. A very ‘normal’ fellow makes tolerably_abnormal ones around a bit ‘uneasy’. Normalcy, which can be technically coined as ‘equipoise in emotions’ can cause a bit of unrest in busy_minds around 👍. Something like “deafening Silence’ 😜🙏🙏🙏.)

2. A saying “ thoughts become words, words become actions, actions become destiny……so watch your thoughts.” 

Extraordinary thoughts in an individual, impressing people around, turning into a contagion, snowballing into powerful collective thoughts, can create an historic event. 

A humble suggestion:  For adding ‘power’ to our thoughts, we need a ‘bit’ of inclusiveness, incrementally, and on an ongoing basis.  Selfish_thoughts attract only negativity🙏.

Religions strive to “collect” this thought power using tools like ‘faith’, ‘prayers’ ‘gatherings’ etc. irreligious Hinduism, chose to sync with core basic concepts of creation itself. The 4 MahaVakyas are an evidence of this🙏. Eternal truths do not solicit any patronage, unlike ‘religions’. Sanatan Dharma is all about adherence to the 4 MahaVakyas EXPERIENTIALLY, no matter if an individual human being never even heard of it 😜. Humans adhered to laws_of_gravity, even before Shri Newton_ji discovered and ‘spelt’ it out for us.

Shall we ‘invest’ our thought_power to live better, into a collective mega power? (Democracy is an excellent tool. It asks for barest minimal efforts, and just once in 5 years. Vote for an honest, selfless, inclusive fellow 🙏, setting aside our personal likes, preferences, affiliations, loyalties, royalties etc 😜😜).  I had to wait, for social media to evolve, even to suggest this😭. In the meanwhile, nothing prevented me from evolving myself privately 🙏🙏🙏😜👍

ThoughtFully Yours,

Desi economics

 

Desi economics

It is so tough, to ‘balance' spirituality and materialism in our worldly life 🙏

Vivekananda said “religion cannot be taught on a hungry stomach!” ( Very basic! Spirituality cannot subsist without strong economics 🙏. Today GDP is a simple Yardstick to measure. In ancient times, “samruddhi/prosperity” had a better Yardstick, “flourishing of 64 Fine arts”. )

No other culture ( to my information) can boast of this: most brilliant community lives by begging only. 😂 ( It ensures that “fine balance”. Details —too elaborate to write here🙏)

A lady who is familiar with my ‘mind’( we never met) wrote a personal observation, which prompted me to write this. Having written, I changed my mind, and decided to blog it, because, my narrative drifted away from the initial intent🙏

Quote:

Over years, I have noticed and also appreciate a certain kind of "acceptance" about ..... yourself, for yourself....in you . Which is very good and very significant, from spirituality point of view 👍

The advantage is not by default.  It needs a conscious effort.

The puranic/epic example of such acceptance is quoted in a main villain (😂), not just ordinary people like us! The idea is to 'highlight' the spiritual significance quoting an extreme example 🙏. (Duryodhana says, "I know both, dharma and adharma. But I can't imbibe dharma, nor can I get rid of adharma. " The hint is tooo subtle! So also is the 'advantage', और भी सूक्ष्म 🙏। Krish hints about the 'advantage' to Bhima, who could not ‘douse’  the fire of his खुन्नस/bitterness against duryodhana, despite the incapacitated_physiology of the latter 🤣.  प्रवचन कार/preachers  cleverly or ignorantly omit to dwell on this tiny aspect, 🙏.)

"lazy" is something that needs a careful look( for instance).  A person, sitting idle, for instance....need not be lazy 🙏.  there is a dynamic  state in inaction too🙏.  Ramana maharishi was 'idling' on a huge rock atop the huge  mountain at arunachala hills. But his 'presence' made everything around work 'damn well' 🤣.

Vysya( bijness community, by several diverse names in Bharat) were 'keen' observers of wandering Brahmins 😜.  “साला, ये भीख मंगे के मौजूदगी ही काफी है, 🙏....सब कुछ ठीकठाक चल रहा है 😳🤔। इसको कुछ भी करके पकड़ कर रखना फायदा है 😜” they felt। This, a 'tradition' रिवाज़ in south, where.... a Chettiar won't 'eat' his lunch, if his spouse didn't feed a begging_brahmin that day!😂. बेचारी सेठानी को द्वार पर खड़े.... राह देखना चाहिए "can I spot a beggar?". She honours him, requests him to partake food that she would serve with utmost dignity, care & grace🙏. ( I asked my Chettiar colleague, somewhere during 1986, to ask+verify this tradition/रिवाज़, if it really existed among his_people , 200 yrs ago. .... search answer from oldies of 90++ ....I added. He came back wide-eyed, and blurted "yaar, damn right. Why 90+? My dad vouched for this, having heard from his greatgrandpaa🙏. But he is now keen to find out who told me?")

Unquote

Summing up very briefly,  the deities of thousands of temples are “idlers” sitting quietly, doing nothing 😜
Beggars(spiritual ones only), eat up the ‘offering’ unlike the deities.
When I decided to experiment “aano bradrah krtavo yantu viswatah”( logo of Bharatiya Vidya bhavan—k m munshi’s pick), repeating it like a kid bitten by a mad dog ( the pace of repetition), I got results which I am unable to show, prove or demonstrate.
But, it gave me insight to ‘liken’ a deity with sophisticated repeater_towers, intelligent too, and those beggars with mobiles offering “tethering connectivity” to ancient version of data_storage of cloud_computing universal Servers 😜🙏🙏🙏. Dunno if I am “technically” right/wrong. But the damn thing works for me 🙏….

Our errors of Judgement

 Our errors of Judgement 

😥 As if I am competent to define it 🙏

No!  I am not competent. At best, I can only share my experience and pray that every reader evolves better than me🙏

Each thought of ours is a judgement, a conclusion of some kind or other(this is a ‘factual statement’ hence, error_free😜).

Given the magnitude of thoughts we manufacture in milli-seconds, can we claim any infallibility? ( Even for fun, if we try to review our own thoughts of preceding 5 minutes, it might take a few hours to judge🙏😥)

A joke :

नया नया मंत्री बोला “मोटर कार आज मैं चलाऊंगा”

ड्राइवर: “ फिर मैं नीचे उतर जाऊंगा 🙏”

आगे कहा ड्राइवर ने :” क्योंकि ये मोटर कार है, सरकार नही, जो अपने आप चल जाए”

Translation : a first_time minister says “I will drive the car Today “

Driver:” then, I will get out of the car…. Bekos, it's a Motor-car, not a Sar-car/govt, which runs by itself “

( That driver is good at judging “who can run a car safely“ ….though ignorant about”who can run a sarCar well”!

Logical errors or emotional errors? Which one happens often in our errors of Judgement? ( Depends on which “car” we drive well, logically driven or emotionally_driven? …or was it a ‘hybrid’?😥)

It so happened that a huge revolt erupted when a leader of pro-reservation in jobs lost his grandchild due to ignorance of a surgeon, whose appointment was not merit_based🙏. That leader got murdered, when he attempted to rectify a “collective error” of judgement about “exempting fatality-oriented vulnerable jobs, forsaking minimum competence”🙏

When I looked at my heavy dependency on the judgement of others, as a kid, for even simple tasks, I felt persuaded at that kid_age, to strive towards an “error_free” or “least possible errors” wala mind, before I grew up to be ‘set_free’ to use my own judgement 😥. 

This pursuit compelled me to keep looking at the consequences faced by those around me, due to their own errors of Judgement! ( A concept sneaked into me, in a non_verbal form “use the experience of others, to avoid similar errors of Judgement”...  There was an advantage of this “non_verbal” format 😜. No syntax error, at least 🙏.

“Jumping into conclusion” is merely a socially acceptable format of saying “error prone conclusion/judgement”

Certain errors are like cement concrete with reinforcement 😜. Choosing a wrong life-partner 🤣. Both suffer till it is either_or_survivor basis, to take decisions 😥😥🙏

In my experience, the only possible situation where a judgement is guaranteed to be error_free is…..when a Guru decides upon his/her disciple 🙏. Reason is simple ( not easy). That Guru is in constant touch with the very root of creation, and therefore can perceive the health of my_roots in its present _kaarmic form, to be eligible to receive his tutelage 🙏

One humble suggestion I can offer is : minimise the thought process to a need_based level.  Even with a constant “rate” of error, the number gets reduced 🙏. ( Oops! It calls for a meditative state of mind 😭. Not everybody’s cup_of_tea !)

Unerringly yours,

Becoming intense

 Becoming intense

My way of celebrating “luck” is when I myself discover my own stupidities (especially when there is hardly any scope for anyone else to notice/notify it for me🙏)

An example of my luck(stupidity discovered)

During our classes of Pranayam (breath related spiritual bijness), we were asked to “be with the breath”. Meaning, we should ‘be’ with whatever is happening with/due_to our breath.

Not quite easy. Nothing much about ‘breath' 😥. Anyway breathing happens, isn't it!?. 

Then it occurred to me. ‘hey, I might be missing something subtle, just because I ain't enough intense ‘

How to become intense? I tried ‘using' a thought “as if my life depends on it👍”(this thought used to help me while trying to do several dull routines, to do it a bit intensely 🤣).

Discovery of stupidity+ why I look at it as “luck”:  Being with the breath as if my life depends on it. Okay 👍….  Then I suddenly felt “what the hell??  Why as-if? Is it not a reality that MY LIFE DEPENDS ON MY BREATH???,😡😡… then why feign saying ‘as—if’?  Luck was, when I realised it🙏. The “effort” part got solved😜

Mere awareness helped 🙏. Intensity was effortless (during those spiritual practices at least 😥).

Nothing to brag about, as far as I am concerned. None of the other life forms are without intensity,    ever 🙏. Whatever they are doing.  Few creatures sleep effortlessly while standing, sitting or even hanging like bats😜. Obviously they sleep intensely ( not to be confused with humans sleeping like a ‘log’, unaware 😥🙏). 

This ‘intensity’ ( in experiencing whatever we go through), is perhaps related to ‘how well we remember it” 😜

We try_hard,  to forget only negative experiences often. Our “intense” experience of mental pain ( not physical pain) makes sure that we don't fail to recollect it oftener than necessary 😭. Otherwise, recalling is the problem, not the remembrance 🙏. 

( Students struggle to memorize data needed to be copypasted in the examination, because “worry” is more intense than the “text” lesson 😜. Want proof? Ask any fellow 40+ about how hard he slogged for his 10th or +2 eggjam/exam, and he easily can recall his stress/strain/struggle to score, but not what_he_wrote in that answersheet which fetched him a high_cutOff score😜🙏. Those few who learnt that lessons well enough with-concepts, will remember the answers, though they passed effortlessly!)

Intensity without the ‘negative’ fuel is the problem 😓. We are intense when tense. Dull/casual/careless when relaxed. This problem is a huge hurdle for spiritual practices to go through us, happen into us, deep enough! ( I personally tried “intensity without any purpose 😜. It worked & still works. Only problem is, some kind of mysticism engulfs me of late, when I intense my laziness. Maybe age related weakness)

Intensely yours,

psn(1 Jan 2026)

Postscript: probably, quietening of mind might help, to become intense at_will😜. That's my experience due to spiritual bijness 🙏 

How to deserve?

 How to deserve

In my experience, there are no exact answers for “how to deserve”.

I don't know how or why I got into this “troublesome nuisance” of trying to find out “how to deserve” even when I was just a kid. 😥🙏 ( Seldom, we find even grown up’s trying to bother about it when they enjoy something they never deserved!)

I saw a TV serial episode yesterday. The heroine ( an orphan) was given the status of an eldest child by a generous character. She tells the hero “just because I am given all the rights and privileges as a daughter, is it not my duty to remember that I never deserved it, being an orphan? That's the only way I can make sure that I never abuse, exploit, misuse the status of ”daughter” donated to me🙏” ( I felt a ‘bit' joyed! At least, this “deserve bijness” comes in a fictional story, if not in real life!

I always tried to deserve 

1.my birth in irreligious Hinduism. 

2.the English medium school run by Roman catholic “brothers” who managed it without a ‘salary’

3. The society which got itself “civilized” over thousands of years, evolving through millenniums & generations ( a protected atmosphere, instead of a wild forest like deep African jungles unexplored by mankind 😭)

4. The independence donated by my previous generations, sacrificing their lives before completing their youth_age🙏

5.The drivers in the road traffic, who routinely drive their vehicles with care to apply brakes, even when I come into their way ignorantly/carelessly.

6. The ‘natures scavenger ‘( like a crow) which cleans the hazardous bio-waste of dead creatures around my home, street etc.

7. ( Long list)

The only thing I need not bother to ensure whether I deserved it or not is…. Spiritual growth 😜. Stringent rules! Unless I deserve it, the ultimate human possibility WILL_NOT happen to me 🙏👍👍. And its converse is more_true! If & when I deserve it, nothing would stop it happening😜🙏

This “deserving” business, had its side effects 😓. Any gift, charity, help, etc bestowed on me, whether as their duty( like parental duty, like contractual monetary obligation of salary, etc) or….a voluntary unconditional act, both of these remind me to deserve it afresh, each time. Another sad side_effect is, I tend to forget my “rights”, my “freedom”, my “independence” etc too often😭. Only an extreme situation forces me to think of my_freedom, my_rights. I don't deserve subsidy, so I opted a white ration card (zero commodities). I gave up LPG subsidy, because I don't deserve to eat tax_payers paisa…..     

A jailor inspires me, when I think of his_freedom 😜. A prisoner set free, grants freedom to his jailor too!😜. Jailor gets FULL freedom( from his_prisioners) only when he retires. Parents get freedom only when they die🙏

Between a jailor & his prisoner getting a fatal heart_attack, that prisoner is better_fortunate😜 ….. The Jailor authorities might question a jailor, but never a prisoner “why did he die in captivity?” 😥

Emulation

 Emulation

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

A joke:

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

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

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

Accessories are not a part of Original equipment 🙏. 

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

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

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

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

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

Nothing unlike yours,

Clarity in thoughts

 Clarity in thoughts 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

One fellow B, asked this A…

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Story over!

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

My experience:

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

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

2 moms claimed a baby to be theirs!

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

Long drawn arguments, only Adding to the confusion.

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

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

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

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

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

Clearly yours,

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

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

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

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

Objective thoughts Versus Subjective ones

 Objective thoughts Versus Subjective ones

😂

Now, why such_a_crazy topic?😜

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

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

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

Our perceptions mirror back to us as our_thoughts!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Objectively yours,

Diffusing situation

 Diffusing situation 

😜

Heard of a squad who diffuse a bomb/explosive?

I watched them at work, in a movie.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Reaching workplace on time, a situation.

Dealing with an ever_thirsty boss, a situation.

Buying groceries, a situation of an empty kitchen.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Diffusingly yours,

Test of stupidity

 Test of stupidity 

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

Very consistently 👍( for decades)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Wisely yours,

My limitations

 My limitations 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Transcendently yours,

Intangible heritage

 Intangible heritage 

I felt ‘bemused’ reading this news 🙏

News that

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

Quote:

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

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

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

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

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

Unquote 

Diwali has it's own value 🙏

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

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

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

Quote 

Exampull of such

Intangible heritage is

A mahaMantra

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

Unquote 

Then,

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

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

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

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

resourcefully yours,

Tertiary sector

 Tertiary sector 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Prosperously yours,

psn(6th Dec., 2025)

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

Teaching skills

 Teaching skills 

I am not interested in talking about the skills.

Instead,

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

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

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

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

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

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

skillfully yours,

psn(1st Dec, 2025)

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

Co-experience

 Co-experience 

It is vital & crucial in communicating a spiritual experience 🙏

Saha-anubhooti

सहानुभूति ( sympathy, बन गया)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Empathetic_ally yours,

Who is observing the practices we do?

 Who is observing the practices we do?

( 😂 What kind of question is this? 😡)

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

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

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

Mind? 😂

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

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

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

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

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

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

Very observantly yours,

psn

A joke:

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

The joke part is in 2 diverse interpretations…

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

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

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

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

Well,

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

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

Ofcourse they do use Yardsticks 🙏 

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

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

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

ReAssurance

 Reassurance 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oddly yours,

psn(28 Nov 2025)

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

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

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

My priorities

 My priorities 

🤣

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

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

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

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

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

Innocently yours,

Age 100

 Age 100

(24 nov 2025)

I received a forward today:

[24/11, 9:51 am] FORWARD: 

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

Essence

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

* 60, Priorities change

* 70, Peace becomes strength

* 80, Presence becomes healing

* 90, Ego becomes quiet

* 100,  Life becomes complete

Age is not declining. Age is distillation.

Thought for the Day

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

🙏🙏

MY Response 🙏

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

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

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

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

Placing trust

 Placing trust

😂

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Testily yours (😥),

Unison within us

 Unison within us

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Emotions don't obey any logic.

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

Within us, we oscillate between logic and emotions 😜

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

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

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

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

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

Unisonly yours,

Stink versus fragrance

 Stink versus fragrance 

Dunno why 😰

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

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

Don't bother to research 🙏

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

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

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

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

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

Positively yours,

Epic stories

 Epic stories 

🤣

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

e) ….. like these, few more, “etc’s”

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

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

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

Exemplarily yours,

CopyPaste versus innovation

 CopyPaste versus innovation

A new situation arises.

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

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

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

Physics class in 7th.

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

What about more subtle forms of energy? 🙏. 

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

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

Dreamy life

 Life is a dream.

Yes.

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

While inside the dream, no escape from its reality.

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

"inextinguishable" by us 🤣

There is a subtle difference between these two dreams.

The power of discrimination 🙏

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

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

Dreamily yours

Sanatan Dharma Virus

 Sanatan Dharma virus

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

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

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

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

4. ( Few more such….. so, “etc, etc”)

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

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

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

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

A joke now!

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

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

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

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

Offering Trust

 Offering Trust

🙂

Am I trust-worthy?

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

They bring along a host of unwelcomed irritants. 

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

Endless spate of negativity nourishing thoughts😥

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

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

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

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

The art of reversing. 😜🙏🙏🙏

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

That's it 😂 

Being yours,

psn(10 Nov 2025)

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

My understanding:

2 ways of living:

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

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

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

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

My_____that is it___now!)

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

Our Yardsticks

 Our Yardsticks 

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

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

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

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

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

Spiritual Yardsticks???

Damn simple ( ofcourse not at all easy).

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

Immeasurably yours,

psn(9 Nov 2025)

Post_script_teaser:

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

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

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