How we Misconstrue

 Even what I propose to narrate hereinafter maybe my own mis-construed grasp 😜

Only certain "abstract concepts" can be classified as bug_free ( construed correctly)

Looking at my life thus_far, I feel that I was unduly fortunate, in progressing so well on the spiritual path( to whatever extent I managed).

Such progress is vulnerable to misconstruing that others too should have found such progress to be easy 😳

Then, the karma theory rescued me 🙏 ( I might have slogged in my far past 😓, and am just lucky that I didn't fritter away the advantage)

It's like this 

NASA has managed building a huge enclosure with "zero gravity" inside, for training purposes. Suppose I am a tiny ant, trapped inside it, with  thinking-abilities like we humans 😜....  Am I not going to misconstrue, looking through the glass window of that cubicle, and wonder 🤔 " why are the humans and even ants etc like me struggling to 'move about'???". I have no idea that I am enjoying zero_gravity, being born and brought up inside this lab( with zero gravity). I am able to move, fly etc effortlessly. Others, outside the glass_window, I can see struggling to even walk 😳.  I don't know what zero-gravity is, because I wasn't exposed to 'gravity' 😜.

Lesson for me = never take ("easy"/for granted,)things to be easy/taken lightly . Human birth is a great blessing! I managed to overtake millions of sperms racing against me, to reach my mom's womb, to get the first+only_prize of a human body 🙏. Make the most out of it, in the tiny speck of time(relative to the life span of this universe), allotted to me 🙏

Gratefully yours,

The_why, of my_roots!

 A controversial re-discovery, that I hail from a lineage of traditional beggars 😜🙏

Therefore, I would rather try to confine this blog to a narrative of FIRST_person narrative only ( me, mine, I myself, pertains to only_me…etc 🙏).

Rituals, traditions and practices that happened with me, like anyone born into the cluster of human samples that I be’long into, raised serious doubts in ME_only.

After a huge pomp & show, I was initiated into the greatest maantric_chant, called ‘Gayatri’ . The irony was, I discovered to my utter surprise that whenEver I try to chant this, after a preceding INVOCATIONAL chants, it is no more a mantra😂. It assumes a much higher ‘form’( evidence is glaringly available right_within that invocation_chant, but…. today's high_speed mind has ‘no_time’ to bother about such trivial matters🙏😜😜).

What baffled me was….

The first thing I was asked to ‘do’ immediately after the-most auspicious occasion of my life ( dwija_fication) was, to_beg_for_my_food 😳  (a humiliation, which escaped the ‘notice' even….owing to the photo_sessions during it, and the abandonment of this huge ‘lesson’ soon after the show_bijness is over👍. Back to normal egoistic composture 🙏).

In the ancient days, that_begging was realistic!!!  Not to be abandoned like today👍

Why did the most literate, most intelligent, most self_disciplined fellows in a society have_to_BEG for food???(The fuel for seeking an answer to this strange doubt was….. this damn practice sustained for thousands of years 😳. Several generations cannot be stupid enough to perpetuate an idiosyncrasy 😜).

It took decades for me to re-discover 🙏.

How else do I retain in my surface level awareness, of the deep interdependence I am bonded into with everything and everyone around??? 

How to be damn sure of the interdependence?( Tougher question)

How to make this ‘idea’ into a sustainable thing( ideas can be reversed, forgotten, opaqued, obliterated etc)

A stable living experience of the VERY root of this deepest level of interdependence 🙏 is_a_must👍, therefore!!!

Not an easy task, I was to discover, during this journey on a “pathless_path” (spirituality! Yes, even logically, the ‘thing’ that is ‘ticking’ in this piece of flesh_called_me, is the spirit within 😳, by whatever name 🙏. Spirit—->spirituality.).

Then it dawned on me.

The 4 MahaVakyas 😜 

Declaratory truths!

Accept it or throw it away 👍… the truth isn't dependent on my subscription, patronage, acceptance etc! ( I can be_with that truth, or deny myself the bliss, and suffer a hell created by my own negation of these truths, for innumerable lifetimes 😜).

Until the experience of the first truth gets STABILISED, after its first peek look/glimpse that ‘it’ reveals into me, inside me, within me…how else can I pursue for its Experiential_permanence,  except by using the simplest tool? That tool is simple but not easy🙏. Begging 😜. It keeps reminding me in_real_time, that I am interdependent with this Universe😔( Vasudaiva kutumbakam). I give my everything in return for that one_meal, every time I am ‘genuinely’ hungry😜. (Everything includes the_most precious of my possessions. Why ‘google_search’ with too many possessions? Just my brain_power will do👍🙏. Possess nothing! Beg for food.)

The best plus point is….. when I need to ‘beg’ even for food, I don't need any conscious effort to avoid ego! Humility is an INEVITABLE consequence, an incidental by_product( like cow_dung is a by product and a medicine, manure etc, when cow’s milk is the main purpose of rearing it🙏). Reverence from others around was ‘natural’ when they can “see” that this beggar(me) is begging only for his_food, whereas we beg for everything else from_him!!!!

Today, begging is a COGNIZABLE offence 🙏. So, I need to sophisticate it in order to make it inconspicous 😜, not to gain fame from sophistication 🤣.  That's another complication forced upon me due to today's social norms🙏. It makes my task more thrilling, like a ‘HURDLE’ race! Keep jumping over the damn hurdle, and yet run fast!!!

Anyway, I am now more_or_less settled into what I want to do for the rest of my life👍… Choicelessness is the only_freedom!(A tool, for solving the puzzle of Enlightenment 😜. My blog “the most prized question” might convince a reader, as to how deeply puzzling is this enlightenment bijness😔. A NASA scientist, with degrees running into 2 lines of alphabets, had asked it on Yahoo answers forum. That forum is gone. But I captured that awesome question into my blog🙏).

A beggar, yours,

A Yardstick to measure my_tolerance

 A Yardstick to measure my_tolerance levels.

( if it seems to be of …..‘a likely to be useful one' ….I can feel rewarded🙏)

A chance occurred for me to meet my school classmates, I missed meeting them  since 1969-70.

Obviously, I started wondering! 

We were kids from 5 years of age to 15/16.

We were ignorant of our innocence too 🤣( though it worked too well, to tolerate the eccentricities(नखरे) of each other 🙏)

Now, the distance between the other two points of two straight lines touching each other at one of its points ( an angle, we say in geometry) was small when we two were small straight lines 🤣. Now we elongated in 56 years to the extent that the open ends are far away from each other. The meeting point was in kindergarten only 🙏

1)Will I be able to transcend ( or at least keep aside for a little while) my_own_eccentricities when I meet them?

2)will their expanded/magnified eccentricities prevent them from tolerating “me”? Perhaps they use the memory of my_kid_age image they carried for 56 years and would have concluded “I was constrained to tolerate this fellow, since I was a kid, and couldn't get rid of him. But now I can decide for myself. Intolerance, by itself, towards this wretch is not a Cognizable Offence👍”

I can only try to become amenable to others. Keeping my eccentricities ( negative emotions) under control, so as to avoid causing a ‘needless’ inconvenience to my school mate🙏. 

I tried to conceptualise it. 

If I can manage to become a kid yet again, despite the emergence out of my ignorance ( of kid age), and find my friends tolerating me even now,  I am doing well, proportionately! ( Eccentricities multiply by itself. Tolerance is never a default_habit, though the attributes to any amenable person ‘seems’ to be his_habit 😜.  Just loosen a few nuts and bolts inside the ‘head’ of Mr Amenable, and we get to see a giant volcano which was sleeping for years!😜.

I also kept in my mind, “meeting old schoolmates is precious because it is a non-commercial, emotional and unconditional occasion to re-live the innocence of our kid_age, and hence, it is enough for me to stay within acceptable level of civilised social norms, and not bother about any_possible ego_problems crept into any others”

A useful Yardstick for measuring myself 🙏. I am not under any external constraints to tolerate the ‘other’ 👍.  And my tolerance is exclusive of how I handle the outside situation ( namely an old mate).

Of course, if I get stabilized in my emotions, to that extent, I obviate dependence on any Yardstick 😜

Tolerably yours,

psn(18 Feb 2026)

Post script:

A joke( but real)

School mates of LKG are like 'lab conditions' ( innocent kids).

About 8 years ago, the daughter of my niece lamented "my mother-in-law is so difficult to be satisfied 😓... However hard I try, she points out some non-existent error in my house keeping!"( She is a good girl, quite amenable, hardworking and non-complaining. With her husband, she is very happy! Kids well groomed)

I asked : "your husband's very close friend is your neighbour, isn't it?"

She :"of course! They are neighbours because of friendship, not due to convenience 😳"

Me: "that friend's mom.... Complaints about her bahu?( d-in-law)"

She:" yes! Always. But she likes me very much! So tells me everything 😂"

Me :" okay! Now tell me, does your mother in law like that friend's wife?"

She : " oh yes!  Very much! My mom-in-law even tells that girl against me😓"

Me:" do you not see the root of the problem? The 'role' assigned to those 2 elderly women? ... They are supposed to play 'villain/vamp' to their own bahu😜(d-in-law)!...  So nothing wrong with any of the 4 ladies. The neighbour's mom likes you. Your m-in-law likes the friend's wife. Good friends!"

She :" oh God! 🥵... Never occurred to me 🙏. Right 👍"

Me:"just enjoy the rebukes! Only filter out the genuine criticisms, rectify with deep gratitude. Inwardly applaud the 'role'! Not easy to play a villain role so well, that too in real life!"

( Now that old lady is no more. But fewer bickerings thereafter 😜)

Care of oldie parents

 A few messages are viral. Cooked up stories of "busy, rich, migrated " children realising that they missed to "give back the care, love and affection" to their parents. The "timing" of realisation is dramatised...... "funeral"...😜🙏

Indeed a few adult children do_get_moved, and might even resolve to "make-amends" ( or whatever). But such emotions aren't going to last 😂.

I thought, let me "risk" a disrepute ( inviting criticism) from most ones around, especially oldies 😜🙏....but, I seek consolation in having 'tried' to revive the lost glory of ancient desi tradition.

I copy paste my reply I tried to 'compose'in reply to that 'forward. I changed my mind and decided to blog it, without sugar coating it 🙏

Most probably just a fictional story. ( That viral story) 

Our ancients NEVER subscribed to such emotions ( seeking or persuading gratitude from children 😂).

This, ...if I speak aloud today, I would only invite disrepute unto myself 🙏😜

Vaanaprastha is the easiest evidence.

Strongest evidence is, even today, no animal, bird, etc 'takes care of its aged parents'. Not in the 'scheme' of things.

Reverence towards elders got replaced with taking care of physical infirmities in aged 'fools'. An act of empathy, deterioration into sympathy. Over a period of time, sympathy became a 'right' in the corrupt minds of aged fools, like we got used to 'freebies' from govt as a right, not ex-gratia 😂.

Now, the assertiveness nurtured an ill will, and paved the way for "old age homes"🙏😜

Being in a particular way, deserving it due to being_so, and getting the due therefore (care, respect being incidental to Reverence 🙏)

Got reversed .

Wanting a payback for emotional love, demanding it as a right,  as a return for investment..... fetched only 'materialistic_compensation' since Reverence & love cannot be mandated by enactment 😜

Honestly yours,

psn(21 Feb 2026)

Postscript Punch : Think/visualise oneself to be deserving "Reverence '.... Care, respectfully is during lifetime & seeking of blessings will be during shraadha_ceremoney for a 100% experiential reason 😜( if visualising seems to convince, then strive to deserve Reverence. By-product do not work as the main purpose of a factory 😜

Our cache memory

 🤣

Suppose I happen to write something that looks like "yep! Worth using this piece of suggestion 👍"

After 5 years, if I repeat this again you will appreciate+ forget it again ( what we felt as 'yes! It's so true' 😜

And, of late, preachy stuff is causing indigestion, nausea and we even vomit, by "forwarding" 😜( CopyPaste & forward is serving the purpose of "ah! I got rid of it 👍....now I can forget it")

At a 13 day yoga program, the teacher delivered 'lecture' for 2 hours daily. Each word was designed very carefully, sequenced like a software meant to last a lifetime, and bug free🙏. Participants forgot it the very-next-day,  by replacing it with that-day's fresh stuff.  (After 6 months, I casually cross-check with a fresher "do you set the 4 conditions of Pranayam daily?" And he stares back, asking "Whhat?.... Only for meditation we were told 4 conditions to be set isn't?  Was it there even for pranayams???". And I start all_over_again 😜)

If I 'really' am able to accept something, why am I not able to retain it in my cache memory?( I don't keep chanting my own name and mobile number. But, it there in the cache_memory and when a 'gourmet_aafeesar'/govtOfficer asks, I chant it by 'default' 👍🙏...

A gadget has a limited cache memory. But ours is expandable! 🤣

Don't I want to be guided by life sustaining basic values?

Coast guard guys in cold countries are trained to get a phrase "keep swimming" into their muscle memory 🙏. Life saving Chant 😔.  Hypothermia sets in when they try to rescue a drowning civilian in freezing sea water. The organ brain doesn't work. Muscle memory works. Last few thoughts of last 15 minutes keeps repeating in a loop, like our compu-Server when 'hanged'. Swimming helps survival, not-inaction/no-response!

 The moment I sight a junk_food meant for me to eat, I need to be guided by cache memory "junk....just taste it, not fill up the stomach with it. It gets absorbed better on a very_hungry/starving stomach, NOT when just_vacant/empty 😜"

Lest we forget to breathe, mother nature decided to make it an embedded software. But we misconstrued it as 'no need to remember that I should breathe' item, and we struggle to 'be aware that we are breathing' 🤣.  

Breath-awareness keeps slipping within nano_seconds. ( Why_the_hell should I be aware that I breathe??? Good koschan/question. Please ask a spiritual person, I ain't competent to explain, though I revere it🙏)

"What are you doing right now??"

Factual reply is "nothing, just idling"

Truth is: "I am breathing and I am contributing for greenery to survive 🙏 My exhalation is precious for their inhalation. It's botany 👍"

Cache memory is precious 🙏. I realised this, and asked my mind to make-space for basic values instead of negatives 🙏 

Basically yours,

psn(20 Feb 2026)

My guess about: the-why of a generation Gap

 We don't try to question a generation gap between latest versions of a 'gadget' (unless a bug has crept into the latest one! How we handle the bug is our affordability, viability, feasibility etc).

Whereas, we are (without exceptions), bogged down due to the incompatibility we 'experience' between the previous & the generation after us !

I tried at a precise brevity about what I deduced (despite being afflicted by the 'gap' myself 😜)

"ever increasing COMPLEXITY of our mind"

If this statement meets non-acceptance in a reader's mind, please abandon the time and effort to read any further 🙏

Complexity, by itself is not a problem. The inadequacy of ability in handling it is🙏

And when the 'emotions' get riveted at one type of complexity, rendering us incapable of any-other emotion, we become a challenge for even the best psychiatrist around, and he ends up 'trying to merely managing our emotional imbalance, even using a confinement if necessary!  😜 (the inadequacy of tools is perhaps a major hurdle for medical science for not discovering a solution to restore emotional balance in a patient🙏). Most cases of ill-health in our minds, can be easily traced to emotional issues, the unresolved inner-conflicts, than the logical imbalance itself, in exclusivity of emotional issues.

Ancient vehicle of transportation was a bullock-cart ( Mockery phrase "bullock cart people", is an easy evidence, used by the 2nd generation after us, usually)

Today's vehicles are many. (a jet-liner, as an example for illustrating the 'complexity' in mind)
The driver of a bullock cart, goes for a nap (auto pilot) and the jet-liner's pilot too takes a brief rest using the auto-pilot mode. The complexity matters, only when something goes wrong! 😜 As also when the sense of responsibility pops up an apprehension like "what if....   something goes wrong?" The bullock cart driver can foresee almost-all the possibilities of "going wrong"  situations, whereas the pilot's mind races through a hundred-plus dials in the cockpit, while he scrambles for remote assistance, and also prays hard, that the connectivity of gadgets with the control tower and the person handling it is capable of control over his-own-mind, to handle the situation going out of control!

"Pure mathematics" as a specialisation at post graduate levels got phased out when our computational abilities got complex-enough to handle the volume and intricacies 😊. But, we managed to maintain awareness about the significance of "basics" involved and the distinction that can affect the complexities.  Our maths is 'decimal' where as it is outsourced to a machine that uses 'binary' system!

Are the basics of our emotions sophisticated adequately enough to handle the complexities of 'life' we wove around us (for whatever reason!)? Our minds couldn't do-away with emotions and ironically, the gadgets we depend upon evades the programming that can mimic human-emotions, needed for mutual compatibility 😜 (I happened to notice a distinction in the emotional disposition affecting the physiology between 2 sets of samples around me, observed for a sizable length of time, belonging to the same gender 🙏. Exceptions exempted!  A few ladies, due to compulsions of situation, stuck to a little old-fashioned desi-lifestyle.  The other set of ladies managed to emerge victorious in competing with their male counter parts, in deciding upon a non-traditional life style. The second set even demonstrated very successfully that 'freedom' is possible from the traditional and enslaving life-styles. The physiological consequence of invading into the arena of courageously swimming across a highly-complex life-span, did have an adverse impact on their physiological well-being.  With the females of next generation attempting the superficial temptations offered by this new-found-freedom in the 'modernized' females, decidedly  started off on this journey of pursuing the complex-life-style a bit earlier than their immediate predecessors. If i sound a bit preposterous and/or indulging in gender-partiality, please look around at the occurrences in the cases of mismatch of mutual compatibility resulting in breaking-up of relationships, including the instances seeking a legal remedy thereof! Nothing wrong with any gender.  Just that, mother-nature decided to be abundantly-liberal in granting emotional- sensitivity, strength and a potential to evolve endlessly to the female gender. May I remind that the very 'title' assigned to human females in our desi tradition is "shakti"/power 🙏.  Emotional shakti/power is only a potential not a functional & embedded software 😜.  Even a very 'casual' look at the functionality in handling a situation in routine life is enough to convince us. Multitasking comes naturally to a female, whereas, single-pointed-focus works better for the male counterpart. 

Ancients, in their wisdom, (my guess only 🙏), had perhaps foreseen the trend of mind losing a grip on its basics, and failure to preserve the emotional strength, in its mad-rush to dive into the fascination lure of indulging into complexifying itself, and getting lost into the maze of dead-ends of logic, and therefore decided to preserve the wealth of their hard-earned wisdom using genetic engineering 😜. Evidence: Moksha, the ultimate human possibility is still prevalent, though in microscopic numbers, and inversely proportional to the minds-that-became-complex, in any cluster of human society. Hinduism, (a misnamer for Sanatana Dharma, a science) as a gross evidence has outlived all other kinds of societies, religions, races, etc, and has stood the test of time. Essentially, emotional training was sought to be synchronized with cosmic laws (the 4 declaratory truths) by the ancient scientists/rishis, using varied and highly sophisticated tools, interwoven seamlessly too! 
I had attempted to summarise the entire syllabus of ancient gurukulas/schools, into 4 brief subjects-topics.  I can only add here,  a query, instead of trying to impose my guess-work, leaving the reader to examine it with a sharp fault-finding & complexed mind 😜.  Question: "are these 4 not dependent on an emotionally equipoised mind, to attempt a mastery on these?" 

Even my frail attempt to simplify the root-cause of complexity in our present day minds, has ended up in adding to the confusion caused by the existing complexity, I concede😕. 
All I can humbly suggest is "clarity of mind is even today, heavily dependent upon our ability to retain the basics of life, in our 'cache-memory'."  Try dealing with cleaning the cache memory if you like👍 Doesn't cost anything at all!

Simply yours,
psn(16 Feb, 2026)

Tail-bit:  A few people do attempt to bridge the generation gap 🙏. The attempt is from either side or in rarer cases both (present and previous generation). 
Ask them.  What is the 'tool' they are likely to hit-upon, whenever/wherever they meet a little success? Logical tool, and/or attempt to bridge the emotional-gap??? (In either case, the response of a positive result is invariably in an emotional expression, not a logical-compromise 😜 😍.  If this is factually true, the clue is also within the same result 👍. The faculty of reasoning in our logical mind compromises enough to concede that "we humans cannot do away with emotions, and still hope for the ultimate freedom called moksha") 

How to ask God, a boon?

 How to ask God, a boon 

🤣

Even for those, who are bold enough to assert “there is no God” ….. “A.I.” likens a God today, though at its primitive stages only.

I tried 2 searches on Google, now "A.I." enabled:

1).”selfseekers p s Narayanan” 

A.I. results were surprising. The results did include reference to the blog page, but added ‘something' to the nature of contents in my blog 😜….   Without a “human like mind” the A.I. just_focused on ‘general theme” of my blogs 🙏😂😂. Something that my readers often missed 😓

2). My curiosity increased and I asked “does A.I. search give semantic results in relevance to the syntax?”.  And the results were “AWE” for me at least 🙏. It confirmed what I managed to guess ( the results ought to interest professionals in information technology, but I am inclined to pursue my agenda only😜)

 

Sanskrit is regarded to be in CONFORMITY with quantum laws 🙏….  Probably why, ancient “boons” where asked+granted using sanskrit 😜.   Got my hint?   Yes, semantic errors go uncorrected 😭

Case law:  after great ‘tapas’ a fellow asked “nidreVatwam” ( syntax error instead of ”NirDevatwam”. )   The cosmos( God) granted “tatah, Asthu”/be it so👍… and he fell asleep, having spelt “nidra” instead of “nirDev” 😜

This story of Kumbhakarna intrigued me 🙏 😥 “is there no way to avoid such syntax errors? Is the”Dharma/Cosmic laws” so_unforgiving?

Then I discovered the way out! Just leave it to the M.O.I.( most original intelligence) prakruthi/nature/cosmic intelligence….to decide What-to-grant me! 😞

It works 👍🙏

Trust is the emotion that syncs CLOSEST to the cosmos 🙏. 

The problem is, trust is a consequence of lot many positive emotions 😥.  I found a simplified formula even for that👍.  Just slog/strive/work/whatever, ….towards absence of the 4 negative emotions 😜. (Granting boon turns out to be the headache of the entity whose popular name is God.  I started to experiment it right_away, with a spiritual teacher, whose synchronicity with the cosmos &  I trusted him totally forgot this synchronicity.  When he asked me to choose a ‘boon' within the 4 he could offer, I responded “you are better than me to decide what is good for me🙏, so please decide that choice yourself!”. It worked 🙏 

So, as far as I am concerned….. “ ultimate intelligence”/U.I., grants results which actualises too….with relevance to the purity of the mind which asks( here, purity is ‘absence of 4 negative emotions only ‘🙏)

Very luckily, my earliest trial/experiment was with “aano bhadraah krtavo yanthu vishwataha” . It took a long time to yield results 😓. But it works 👍.

For nothing, yours

Curse of oldage

 Curse of oldage 

The curse of oldage is.....

Even in cases where a person has 40% only of negativity and 60 % of positive qualities....

Negative:   is "default" by nature, and requires no conscious effort to manifest. No health or energy needed😜 ( hence, it remains 'steady' and same as during youth/middle age)

Positive:  Cannot ever become "by_default". Needs conscious effort each time to manifest. With age and deteriorating health, weaker brain to coordinate, renders the functionality to decrease from 60% to bare minimum 5% probably with age, gradually 🤣

( Percentages are very imaginary, and highly subjective, but the phenomenon is real👍)

Result!?.....  40% looks like 95% ( over exaggerated in front of that 5% or even more 😜)

Frustration is inevitable when the youngsters exclaim : "of late, with age....you are turning intolerable 😓😓😓"( oldie wonders 🤔.... He used to like me, love me and respect me... _*what happened with_him_now?*_ 🤣... धूल चेहरे पर है, आईना अब भी वही है 😜)

Misinterpretation of Dharma

 misinterpretation of Dharma

Is it not time_enough that we rectify the most popular mis'interpretation of ancient advisories in sanskrit ( handed down to us from millenniums, and hence viewed as time tested🙏)

When the "text" could not be tampered, cunning minds resorted to popularizing a deliberately misinterpreted meaning 😂.

We might argue "well, I am NOT going to even touch it.... So, I am not affected by misinterpretation 👍".

 Such escapists are its worst victims.

*_the goal was to render the Minds susceptible to any other misinterpretation as well_*  😜

The "ability" to discern, distinguish and discrimination is sought to be crushed 🙏

Famous quotes:

1)Atithi devo bhav 

2)Matru/pitru/acharya, devo bhav 

These two are addressed to whom?

Popular version:  

1)Treat your guest like a God!( Pamper, please, trust that incursionist as well, if he poses like a ‘guest’ 😜… )

2) Treat your parents and teachers like your Gods, (no matter if they are actually an idiot, or devilish criminals 😜)

Somehow….. do we not find flaws, defects, or atleast difficulties and self-inflicted damaged, in blindly following the misinterpretation, merely because these interpretations are popular????

Not requiring too_much knowledge of Sanskrit, can we afford ourselves to make a simple comparison with other EQUALLY popular and VERY SIMILAR quotes,  with tamper-proof interpretation???

a) Ayushman bhava 

b)Sowbhagyavati bhava

c)putravati bhava

d)yashasvi bhava

Who is the “addressee” in these a)-to-d) ???

“May You be”... As a suffix to variable “long-lived/fortunate/with_vhildren/famous “

“Bhava” is “may you be” and not “be treated as”  😜…. Here is the ‘catch’

If 

1) atithi devo is “may you be like(behave like)” instead of “may you be TREATED like( by a gullible_fool)”... 

2) mom/dad/teacher devo is “may you be like(behave like)” instead of “may you be TREATED like( by a small kid, utterly innocent, too small to be burdened with a Heavy load like “Treat your dad/mom/teacher as_if they are your God 😡😡)”... 

then,

the addressee gets rectified and interpretation SUSTAINS without any collateral damage, caused 😜

Most importantly,

we get trained into a “rational thinking” …which really matters 🙏

Bhavami Yours only, ( may I be, yours)
