Inherited Karma

 Inherited Karma 


🤣


Average minds of present day would ‘repel’ at the very mention of this phrase.


If the mind can afford to merely “look” , then understand, possibly_grasp, and only_then try to disagree, or agree, this phrase can serve a utilitarian purpose 🙏



Did we not inherit our human frame?( We were not a dog, who approached an AI-enabled digitaly_driven 3-D factory to get our frame converted …..dog—>human !



Medically, we can also concede, inheriting certain chronic_type of dis-eases, or at least a vulnerability to it( weak heart/lungs/liver/pancreas/stomach….vital organs 🙏


Karma? Not really a convincing item.

Look at affinity towards nervous stimulants like coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol etc.  kids born of a lineage of addicts, will need more restraints than others, to keep_away from its temptations 😜….  It's a ‘karma', which is a bit easy on our logical brains, to digest.


“Difficult to convince” category! Subtle but very strong.  Family traditions, languages, culture etc. A mother tongue has the ‘potential’ to creep_in, into a child ill-fated to be left at a foreign land, and lucky to visit the land of his biological parents after adulthood.


“More difficult to convince “ category….. acquired karma's, if strong enough , can permeate into the progeny to become an inherited karma😜🙏… genetic engineering 🙏


A true kshatriya would need lesser intensity of training than a true Vysya ( say, an Agrawal, a dedicated business_community) …..when both these join army with the same age, in the same batch.

Again, a “true” Agarwal, even if illiterate, has a greater potential to prosper in running a business, than a well_groomed MBA gold medalist from other non_business community! Hardly any ‘beggars’ among Agarwals🤣.    Here, the ‘Agarwals’ are morally OBLIGED to maintain_awareness(not mere remembering is enough) that….Shri Agrasen was a KING, not a businessMan😜. He was enlightened, and hence CAPABLE of transfusing potential of Vysya-Dharma, a very sacred quality,  into his disciples/followers/progeny. 



“Toughest to get convinced”.....Acquired karma, sustaining for ages, is evidenced in the chants of a janeu_dhaari_pappu, recalling his rishi_lineage_roots, while seeking blessings from an ‘elderly’(+COMPETENT to bless–person ), after prostrating to him/her. Rishi might have been himself,  a shudra_caste by birth😜. But he acquired spiritual karma lasting for eternity 🙏


Acquired karma, sought to be infused( not transfusing), got SOPHISTICATED and came to be known as “nuptials” a ritual, done during a congenial time( nothing but “setting” lab_conditions for ‘seeding’ 🙏).


“Initiation” is yet another classic example of “seeding” a subtle spiritual karma, into a fertile recipient, at a right time, after supplementing that recipient with sophisticated preparations for best_receptivity of the seeding. Hopefully, this seed_karma would bear the fruits of “highest human possibility”.



Kaarmically yours(🙏),

Debugging

 Debugging 


A very crucial & vital component of any “functional” aspect of life. ( Once in a grave, it is a grave_situation🙏 not the_time for debugging)


The whole process was given a comprehensive name, when a human mind “created” an intelligence that can “function” with least possible dependence on its ‘creator’. Self-learning machines, we know! It learns through refinement, a process involving debugging too🤣



Human beings were trusted with ‘intelligence’ to learn on their own. They being a ‘superior’ variety of intellect, were endowed with capabilities to interact and network, like the intelligent networking of computers today, which are evolving(6 G right now)


Accepting of a ‘bug’ in our functionality is the first step, without which, debugging is superfluous 😜.

In the ancient days, a better intelligence was responsible to debug a lesser one. Though ‘each individual’ was well_equipped to debug himself!


In a bank, since the “stock in trade” itself is money, every piece of paper is “money” 🤣. It is “realising” this….that a structure was put in place to PERFORM a Q.A. of every transaction recorded by a clerk. Officers( better intelligence) check each voucher for Quality_Assurance🙏. Debugging is a mere consequence thereafter.


Teachers (ideally, ought to–)use tests & examinations to assure themselves of their Quality_teachings reaching a student,  only as a supplement to their “real time” Q.A. in the class, WHILE teaching a new lesson.


A good chunk of routine still remains to be debugged in our life😥 

Thought_proccesses are no_exceptions to the process of QA plus De-bugging 🙏😜


I noticed a few cultures “recognising” this needs( QA & de-bugging)

Confession in Christianity is a precious aspect ( whether a person ascribes “due” reverence to it is subjective 🙏)

In Hinduism, a very complex software was in place. And a bug-free program was constituted to do the de-bugging. Today, it is a disfunctional routine, like somebody “ritualistically” operating a light-switch, on and off, unaware of its purpose, and therefore ignorant of absence of electricity/bulb, doing the job of illumination ( pra-jothi-ayat) 

( Example: a lamp debugs ‘sins/errors’    दीपो हरतु मे पापं दीपज्योतिर्नमोऽस्तुते

Link : https://shlokam.org/dipajyoti/  )



When the annual de-bugging became a disfunctional ritual( during renewal of a thread/UpaKarma), the women folk devised something like a ‘silent de-bugging’ known as sumangali_prarthana, which also has turned into a mere ornamental embellishment in a disfunctional ritual of switch turned on-off, to  fused bulbs😜


Today, 

The ENTIRE software of QA & de-bugging, is constricted+ confined to earning Profit out of some remunerative_activity….. nothing to do with ‘evolving into a quality human‘ (only stray cases occur, where a ‘freak’ pursues it akin to reinventing_the_wheel 🙏🤣…)


A bug, I remain 

Yours🙏

Silly doubts

 Sheer apprehension about 'how long can a blog be?'  persuaded me to shift to another page. ( Otherwise, my stupidity in asking silly questions to others might end only when I am brain-dead😭) earlier one was "silly questions"


1)we breathe (by default, unless we 'take a fancy for doing it CONSCIOUSLY)

Do our lungs actually say to air "Welcome, dear O² enriched air" or, does our lungs gasps for air, in dire_necessity?  

An asthmatic struggles only to inhale, why? If it were about elasticity, even exhalation needs a 'struggle' isn't it?( We squeeze out the toothpaste tube! Ah! Latest tubes are one_way elastic😜 like bribe_TAKERS. they struggle to give bribe willingly)

2)why is it that this phrase “inteligent choice” is used very rarely, now-a-days?( A negative Example 😭 : in the banking industry, during 1995, bulk of employees & management, alike, chose the PF against Pension as a right_choice, paisa_wise😜.  Later, wisdom dawned. Pension proved to be better. Both parties resisted against each other, about a “second time for CHOOSING”. A deal was struck for a price. Employees surrendered a FAT sum to opt for penShun😜)

Does really the intellect NEEDS to be allowed to make an intelligent-choice, instead of our DEAR MIND?

3)why do we patronise, pamper and nourish “HURT”? ( Words CANNOT cause injury, except when it is hurled at us with authority+power, like a termination order, unjustified judgement by a judge etc…. )

Injuries are inevitable at physical level, but hurt is entirely our_creation, ain't it?🙏

4)why don't we use the choice we have to ‘try' and transcend our basic defects?( Sorry, an irritant question this is🙏).

A fisherman asked a saint, seeing that saint rescuing a scorpion the 3rd time, though it stung the very hand( of the saint that rescued! Pain of sting, the hand trembled, and scorpion fell into the flowing river……

The saint looked into the_innocence in the eyes of that poor fisherman and chose_to answer:”well, it is the nature of the scorpion to sting, and it is now in my nature to save. Both of us are acting according to our_own_nature” ( my take from this story: I CAN change even my embedded software ( basic nature), but I need to decide to try😜🙏)

5)why do we brand/label any question as “tough/out_of_syllabus/stupid/irrelevant/etc”….. just because we don't know the answers?

( I asked a B.Sc. with physics _main “can we find AC type of electricity occuring naturally?? And that person got angry😭…. Lightening is natural, not man_made and carries an electric charge of minimum 17000 volts😓….  Such natural AC? Wrong to ask?🙏😥)

6) a quarrel-some doubt 🧐 

Why is it that both,    the deity himself and their devotees are a stark-contrast to each other, in their appearances, paraphernalia, rituals, display of grandeur, wealth etc? Shiva and Vishnu. ( the “why” of it is the irksome thing, not the agreement about the contrast! 😜)

Handling Appreciation

{ A disclaimer:

This write up is PURELY for entertainment purpose.
A part of the narratives pertains to my experience.
Anybody, EVEN inadvertently/unawares/subconsciously lending any kind of concurrence to the concepts hereunder, does so ENTIRELY at his/her risk and responsibility.😔

The purpose of this disclaimer rests on the principles of 'negative-psychology' (whatever the hell, it is)}


Appreciation scares me a bit!

My phobia. Can't help!


Wrong appreciation, i knew what to do?  Just dump it, after making the 'right kind of noises' like "so kind of you, .... thank you....  kind of you"(bla-bla)...  it doesn't pertain to me . Simple!

Negative appreciation:  A bit dangerous , but am forewarned by the processor in me called "brain". By default, it invokes an embedded program/software "why was this in a negative style?(that appreciation) ....  And I instantly dismiss it . No further action needed.  Example: Once, i was asked to 'calculate' manually, the arrears of wages-revision, arising due to 'retrospective effect agreed upon. it entailed complex calculations, involving choosing of right 'formula' for components of basic-pay etc. in short, the probability of 'human error' was within some 5000 arithmatic calculations, using only primitive pocket calculators , 40 years ago. Errors are BOUND to creep in.  But the checking official replied to my query (sir, how many errors?) with a remark "I think, I couldn't CHECK PROPERLY. I didn't find any error 😰" ( i knew......  negative appreciation!  I didn't have to emote.)


Positive and genuine appreciation:  Maha dangerous (for me! If it gets into my head, it turns counterproductive)

In one of my past births, 
I was a dog. 
a good breed (casteism by God, here 😊)  
I was picked up and trained into a police dog ( that breed could sniff well)
An emotional bond grew between my Master (cop) and me!
one day, I decided to 'say a thank-you' , like humans.  He was stupified! But, he kept it secret.
He passed on a part of the appreciation he received for an investigation, keeping the cash-component with himself, but asked me privately : "Doggie, name a gift, and it is yours!👍" 
I felt elated. Ego crept in me. I said "Master, you know I can sniff damn well, better than you-humans. why not gift me a 'quality' perfume?  If imported, still better 👌"
He gave it. He even helped me to get it sprayed all over my hairy body. Liberal dose.....  That day, I could-not-sniff the sweat, blood or any 'evidence' left behind by the CRIMINAL.  Zero productivity. That cursed/damn perfume kept dominating my 'sensitive' smelling glands in my nose.
I was demoted, sacked.  I became a 'street-dog'....

I woke up suddenly with a sad-jerk! (What? just a dream?  or is it that God-ji used one of his dubious ways of 'educating' me, about my past birth, and the precious lessons?.  dunno!)

But, I got my lesson :  Let not a genuine appreciation get into my head! Just move on! The other person is merely displaying his potential in recognizing merit. He evolves by acknowledging me.


Doggedly yours,

Magnanimity, an illusion

 Some good friend tried to appreciate me🙏😥


I think I ended up indirectly-discouraging him😭🙏( my-bad)


Quote 


[20/06, 9:39 am] friend : It shows your magnanimity🙏





[20/06, 9:57 am] PSN: I agree 🙏



( Magnanimity --or-- humility.....both are very "popular" qualities 😜.... It can 'fetch' even -votes 🙏...


So, netas "try" to show it. Nothing wrong 🙏 it is marketing department, for survival)



But ....my 'personal' view is(,🙏)...

Both are only consequences of some other qualities.

Like,

Cold is due to absence of heat

Darkness is due to ABSENCE of light.

Similarly, both these are due to Presence of 'few' other qualities 🙏



Wretchedly yours,

Random thoughts

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

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

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



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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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


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

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

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

Mere Name tag as a "Brahmin" serves only an extraneous purpose, not related to its purpose 🙏
23)Grown up Children'demanding' from parents their "freedom"(today)
sadden stupid parents🙏😜
A responsible jailer gets MORE freedom than the criminal leaving that 'jail'! 
A jailer commits sucide(prisoner is not responsible) WHEREAS, a prisoner does it? Jailer gets questioned FIRST

By default

 By default 



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



Joke : getting rid of unwanted habit 

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

A  BIT ( remains.  remove ‘a’ now)

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

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



Please see, 

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

A few of us find it difficult to get_out_of it🙏


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


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


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


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


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



Consciously yours,

Aging of Mind

 Aging of Mind


Strange idea isn’t it?


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


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


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

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


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


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

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


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

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


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

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

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


innovatively yours,

psn(23rd May, 2025)
