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 🙏

Examples, use of "sense of Discrimination"

 Examples, use of Discrimination 

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

Example 1). Accidental use.

( To regale my readers this one)

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

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

Clueless “what can number seventeen means???”

Then a scene.

Villain throws a lavish party.

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

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

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

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

Example 2) CONSCIOUSLY using it:

CopyPaste ( quote)

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

"Guru Govind dou khade, kaake laagoon paye

Balihari guru aapki, Govind diyo milaye."

Translated:

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

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

(Unquote)

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

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

( Again, a CopyPaste of a famous story)

राजा और रंक (Prince and the pauper)

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

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

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

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

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

Ignorantly yours,

My maths teacher

 My maths teacher.

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

It happened to me, exactly.

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

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

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

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

Let me quell the suspense in my readers🙏

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

Because,

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

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

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

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

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

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

Inadequately yours,

Keeping a watch

 Keeping a watch 

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

Blind says "I can smell"

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

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

😂

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

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

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

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

I looked at him, eyes defocused.

"A bit dull, but not yet faded out"

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

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

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

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

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

Watchfully yours,

Nature's blessings

 Nature's blessings 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Naturally yours,

Visualization skill via perception

 Visualization skill via perception 

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

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

More credible evidence? ( Needed?)

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

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

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

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

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

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

All I look forward to, now…

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

A blabberer, yours,

Stagnant Focus

 Stagnant Focus

🤣

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

And to ‘talk’ of its stagnation? 😭

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

Skilled tasks need better focus.

My life experience (samples purpose only)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I started of at 25 wpm :))  

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Toughest challenge ever.

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

It begets mind-fatigue at supersonipartc speed 😜🤣

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

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

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

Stagnantly yours,

Yours Foolishly

 Yours Foolishly 😂

That's me!

Make no mistake about it🙏

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Foolishly yours,

Discipline

 Discipline 

🤣

An elusive word.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Disciple of yours, 

( Disciple is qualified in discipline 😌)

Irritating tail-piece 😜

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

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

Snag is, even story telling, needs a CUSTOMISED_discipline 🙏

When mind gets 'engaged

Disengaged.

A wonderful person responded to a comment of mine ,🙏

Quote 

[09/10, 11:21 am] that wonderful: 

Disengaged 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[09/10, 1:25 pm] PSN: I am glad.

You seem to have understood the significance of that choice of mine( dis_engaged).

Engaged, when it refers to 'the' mind in a spiritual sense, I prefer to CopyPaste your phrase(😜🙏) "tip, of the iceberg". 

( Age, adds to the tiresome job of 'typing' അല്ലെങ്കിൽ, easily 45 minutes of concepts related to 'engage' of mind🤣🤣🤣

( I ask myself "has this girl got adapted my style of arrangements of words? And, so soon???" 😳🤔)

[09/10, 1:31 pm] PSN: I will continue to "envy" that divinely gifted singer , Madurai mani iyer  🙏🙏🙏

A legend destined Mani as "when he sings....the Devi of swara scrambles to keep pace with him!!!!" ( Astounding tribute🙏)

Whereas, I plead, implore, beg etc to goddess of learning ( not literacy, education.... "Learning itself") "Madam, allow me to recall an apt word🙏" she does once in a blue_moon 😂🙏)

Engagedly yours,

Freedom for prana

 Freedom for prana

The life energy called PRAANA , is like an electric current ( not an exact example).

Body, mind and intellect are distinct devices ( in order of subtlety too)

How energy is going to work, depends on which device is made_to_work.

Using electric energy, a grinder grinds, a processor processes, and a stove heats up with its coil glowing Red🤣

If the mind manages to become a "boss" the body simply obliges the mind, overriding even its limited cellular intelligence and intellect sleeps blissfully 😜

Invariably, all the yoga-based acrobatics are directed towards taming the mind 🙏 ( and any-benefit accruing to the physiology is merely incidental.)

By chance, if a yogic practitioner manages to tame his mind, the intellect gets a "chance" to do it's work in an inversely proportional  ratio 🙏. Wisdom is inevitable when intellect has 100% freedom 😥🙏

Energetically yours,

psn ( 7 oct, 2025)

In the ancient times in Bharat,

4 different types of people specialise in assessing the "pranic" power in the person consulting them ( quality services 😜🙏)

1) family preceptor/guru

2) ayurvedic physician 

3) family astrologer 

4) if available, a naadi expert, a combo of astrology+physiology 🙏

Varna concept

 Varna concept

Varna, conceptually, a classification, is in synchronicity with the innate nature of  each life form .

Present day politics ( evil design of invaders to destroy the minds of dwellers of Hindu_land, which they succeeded 🙏), cleverly, deceptively, kept the CONCEPT hidden.

With all the life forms, the classification is CONFINED to its physiological structure. Hence, SCOPE for distortion is hardly any ( example of EXCEPTION:  energies at sringa_hill, and Tunga river, caused a snake and a vulture to TRANSCEND it's own nature! Spared +protected the life of its own food, which was another life_form. Another example of EXCEPTION is, tender neem leaves behave very uniquely, if eaten during Brahma-muhurta. Second one, I accidentally discovered, and later voucher by very elderly experts in ayurveda 🙏).

When it comes to classification of a humans,  it STARTS with...... within humans ITSELF  😜 .

REASON? we are 'a' being ( life form) of.... volitional consciousness 🙏

Then, 

we look at 'factors' which are 'fundamental' to the causation of mutual distinctions 🙏.

Brains, gave 'names' to these factors 🙏

Sattva, Rajas, & tamas. ( these are MICRO elements, basic to EACH human, at core level AND also are in unique combination & proportions. 🙏) It is significant to note that AYURVEDA, uses this classification for BEST possible respite, relief, cure and EVOLVEMENT too 😜… along with astrology, quantum laws and human -physiology.  Sounds ‘scientific'???? 🙏🤣… Explore & ReDiscover it 😓

Two ways to grasp, understand & TEST this concept, before proceeding to DEAL with it, (if at all---or---only if.....we are able to discriminate the 'necessity' of indulging in it 😜😜😜), is available . Either negate it with an open mind to eliminate all other possibilities, or..... if fortunate/blessed-enough to invest TRUST, use the already available sense of Discrimination, INTELLIGENTLY🙏🙏🙏🙏

( IF, the foregoing has-even a 1% appeal in us, 😜.... there is a possibility of understanding the 'why' in Gita, that author declared that He wrote the software of Varna classification 🙏....  Names like 'brahmin, Kshatriya, Vysya, & shudra' will stop confusing us 🤣🤣🤣🤣...   Otherwise, let's continue the    annihilation   of human race 😭)

Humbly yours,
