Responsibility Versus responseAbility

 Responsibility Versus responseAbility

Responsibility is more about "accountability” 

A sense of responsibility is ABSOLUTELY necessary to ensure orderliness when we live as_a_society.

Law has lots of limitations in enforcing accountability.  Certain qualities like ‘civic sense’ , sincerity, honesty, nationalism , patriotism, etc cannot be harnessed into legal framework.

ResponseAbility ?

Our ‘ability' to respond to a situation 😜

Before the very first earthen dam was conceived, there was no Law to hold the ruler/administration accountable for lives lost due to monsoon_flooding anywhere. Somebody felt his Ability can respond even to a natural calamity.  😂 He might have used a crude expression like”I will stop this water” . Obviously, the people around would have laughed mockingly and said “You, a pint sized human, going to stop this mighty river???”. He 'conceived’ an earthen dam . Whether he completed the dam or his students/followers/descendants, we now have the “Ability to respond” to a flood.

Once we happen to turn to peep into our abilities and potential…… 😜

Exploration on the outside of us is driven by a very different kind of fuel 😂🙏

( Even as a stupid bank clerk, surrounded by numerous limitations imposed, my response to the situations drove me towards quite a few unprecedented and non_conventional ways of solving the problems. These problems were hitherto viewed as ‘helpless’ ones.)

Then came a ‘turning’ point 😜

Spiritual seeking got wings ( ancient spiritual tools) to fly a few micro_millimetres above the grounding by the nature's default gifts of Sensory levels of perception 🙏. The spirit was granted a chance to have a ‘say’ about its abilities 😂. The responseAbility now started using a different dimension itself 😥. ( I did use the courage of that ancient fellow who turned a deaf ear to mockery of his declaration “I will stop this water”. This time, I don't even need to announce anything. Nothing changes at the gross levels during the process of erecting an earthen_dam. And, the onlookers armed with only their sensory levels of perception are not going to even notice the ‘source’ of mischief 😂. I am blessed to exist like a nondescript non_entity/ नाचीज़ 🙏)

I love to be surrounded by people who are interested in tapping their responseAibility. ( The NEED even, for the Laws to fix “accountability”  is inversely proportional to the societies ability to tap the responseAbility within 🙏.  A historical fact in Bharat 🙏.  बहिष्कार, banishment was enough to replace the 107+ odd laws of India, which became applicable in JK after abrogation of article 370 of the Indian constitution 🙂).  Since spiritual bijness used to flourish in Bharat until a thousand years ago, the tapping of response_Abilities within was merely an incidental byproduct 😭, not even a purpose. GDP of 42% didn't need a noteworthy ‘mention’. Prosperity was a by-product of spirituality!

ResponseAbly yours,

Humor: One day, I noticed the lady who collects garbage at our streets, struggling to push the heavily laden pushcart, and quite helplessly her eardrums receiving the irritating squeal of the wheels protesting the push.

I asked her “ gimme a minute” 

I picked a nut fastener, and an oil-can of lubricant. Reduced the wobble of wheels tightening the check_nut, and liberally oiled the four wheels. To test myself, I dragged the pushcart backwards, much to her surprise😂. Then I asked her to push it as usual. Reaching my gate she asked “how do I thank you?”

I said “damn easy and simple. Just don't tell this to anybody around 🙏. Others won't be able to 'comment’ anything 😜” She nodded.

The joke is, she dumps a tiny smile at my spouse, in return for the garbage dumped into her cart. I explained to my spouse “the safety valve of the pressure of not_telling others is the reason for her smile. The valve releases a little pressure at the source”. 

Sponsoring Laziness

 Sponsoring Laziness

Laziness, by itself is a fuzzy concept 😂

( “Am I being lazy, or am I merely CONSERVING my energy sensibly?” an easy example of our common confusion 😜)

Laziness, at physical levels, a doctor knows and he gives a prescription in_writing “minimum 2 kms of mourning_walk daily 👍”... And we mourn with a long face each morning, with unprecedented CARE, of never exceeding the ‘dosage’.

Mind's laziness might have just one indirect_advantage 😜. Unlikely to need a mental health home 💪👍.

Intellect is choicelessly waiting to manifest its hyper_activity being naturally_insulated ( like ‘light’ which had never even seen a darkness Ever!!! ). Ever ‘sighted’ laziness in a kid upto its first year of age???( Mind is yet to form+firmUp 🙏…. A teacher in USA, very recently advised a desi parent that his 6 year old kid might need a psychiatrist’s counselling for what she guessed a “hyperactivity syndrome”! She was very ‘sincere’, no doubt 👍. And logically, anything unusual in a kid, needs ‘medical’ attention 🙏.  I happened to know this particular kid, and hence I cited my own example of how my elders were harrassed by my hyperActivity till the age of 6 😜.  A rare instance where the mind was underfed with toxic_ideas from elders around 😜)

“The Fox who lost his tail” ( a story of my English text, in my 4th class 🤣🤣).  Personification by the author, gave me an idea of how others around can ‘feed’ negativity in me 🙏.  This fox manufactured a whole “tool-kit” to brain-wash other young foxes around to ‘get rid of their unproductive attachment’ called ‘tail’ and become free!!! A wise old fox advises the mis_guided young foxes “don't be misled by this cunning fox, who is seeing a majority to avoid being an isolated embarrassment among others” .

Since the story raised too many other questions in me( i didn't have the courage to articulate it to my teachers/elders around), i had_to tolerate the memory of this story in my mind and it kept popping up every time my intellect popped up accidentally 😜. Now, this story is a precious antique item in my memory 😜. It doesn't trouble me🙏. This story served as a unique tool to untie knotty questions in spirituality for_me! Rigors of logic transcended by very subtle aspects of nature's design 🙏

I am leaving the ‘solution’ for mind_sponsored laziness, as well as ‘tool-kit’ caused revolts, for the readers to figure it out by themselves 🙏. ( I am a bit busy with practice of verse 110, of chapter-2 in ManuSmriti 😭🙏. Something i have been dodging for some 5 decades 😓. I need to imbibe it soon, with time running out for me at 70+ 😞 now!)

Unnecessarily yours,

A self_teaser 🙏:  Can a lazy mind think of such “silly koschans, & silly doubts” as my two blogs, which have proved to be utterly harmless till date?( No reader is affected in any way by those 2 blogs😜… positively or otherwise 👍)

Looking out for Intellect.

 Looking out for Intellect.

Don't worry, this is not a ‘heavy dose blog’ 🙏

Intellect is quite valuable, we can't deny.

Just that, our schools didn't plan a structured design to ‘tap’ it ( post independence, after 1947).

But that didn't stop a ‘rare few teachers’ in my school from tapping it in their students. The “syllabus” offered very little scope for students to try_using their intellect. Most of it was at testing a single skill “Who is good at mugging the text and vomiting it coherently in the answer papers?”( Best marks for the kid best at it).

Look at Algebra 😂

If a question paper contains an out of text_book problem to solve, the outcry is “it's out of syllabus”( syllabus and textbook_data are different 🙏).

Anyway, I am tempted to cite an example from my experience as an average student (aiming always a “pass marks” only🙏.). My dad required me to pass, not score high. It suited me too well, because my basic pull was towards only non-materialistic aspect of ‘life’( spirituality). Scoring was a time and labour consuming bijness in the rat_race for by_heart+vomit in the exams😭

My algebra teacher, writing two equations in algebra on the blackboard, asked “can anyone suggest how to solve?”(Simultaneous equations….the chapter name🙏, for readers to say “sounds having heard somewhere”)

Nobody stood up (meaning, we stand up only if we know what to respond_with).

The teacher was disappointed. 

I normally sit quietly ( I don't encroach into the privilege of scorers).

I stood up in slow_motion 😓

“Yes?” said the teacher ( it means “speak”)

I offered ( something like “dividing through out by “x”.... Adding x² to both sides, etc. Actually, a bigger one, but I don't want to make it an algebraic blog here😂). 

In essence, I simply ‘neutralized’ one set of variables in one equation, to bring it closer to the other one first…

Etc

It clicked 😜

Emotions overpowered the teacher that day🫪. ( A sudden transition from disappointment to joy, seeing one “intellect” awake among 50 heads! I didn't know all this at that age. I thought of a “commonly used word” we used,.... “FLUKE” 🙏).

The encouragement from the teacher stayed to keep inspiring me till now 🙏.  I thought at that time “hey! There's scope to use ‘own ideas’!!! “ 😂. Otherwise, it was “stick to the text book only”. 

Back at home, I started searching for an answer to “why did it have to be only_me?” . I found an answer, only over decades 😭. I am a tough nut , when it comes to approving myself 🙏. Otherwise, the answer was damn simple 👍. 

Real life situations offer us a chance to tap our intellect routinely 🙏.  We need to be aware that we have a “choice” , about using it.  

Only when I focused more on my private & personal bijness ( spirituality), i discovered that I am choiceless about using intellect 😭. Desi spirituality is merciless 🙏😓. Keep practicing the tools, and you just perfect at the practices, nothing to do with spiritual progress😥. Anyway, I thought it's time I turn vulnerable to critics😜. I welcome critics with all the humility possible in me👍. My response is guaranteed to be proportional to the intensity of involvement 🙏

Normally yours,

psn(17 Aug 2026)

Tailpiece: a popular joke : the problem with telling a good joke is….it reminds the other fellow of a dull one😓

Only a tamed mind can just “shut up and listen”.... The intellect can pop-up too 😜

Unlicensed confusion maker

 Unlicensed confusion maker

“Please don't confuse me unnecessarily 🙏”

I look into myself (when I hear this, from the other) as a matter of duty, towards the other. Did i REALLY cause_confusion?

A ‘good' student feels a_confusion, when the teacher reads out the text lesson dealing with a deep concept in any discipline of some science 👍. Yet to learn it👍.

A disinterested kid has no such ‘threat’ from confusion_weapon 🤣. He knows he is good at copying the ‘text’ to memory and pasting it on the answer sheet in eggjams/exam, getting a cut-off marks like 98.94% and a ‘name’.

When I look within, ( which I have been doing since my kid days 😥) my very perception keeps deepening, imperceptibly_though. Over years, i get to notice the increase of its depth🙏

It's the mind( through its faculty of emotions) which ‘suffers’ the ailment of confusion. My intellect seems well insulated, by the excuse called “i seldom get a chance to function 🫪, only_then to_cause any confusion 😜.

Of late, I detest from deliberately ‘causing’ confusion 🙏.  Whenever there is a slight vulnerability, i label it as “my silly/stupid doubt/question”. The reader's mind is re_assured 👍

But a few around me still “ask” for trouble 😭🙏. A sample of my confusing response: 

Quote:15-aug

Just because I happen to 'know' a little_bit of possible_thoughts( the looming uncertainty of trip), 

easier for me to co_relate the behaviour of 1)body( the dial is the_breath usually, it magnifies/zooms_in) and 3) the mind , magnifies with data_integrity during the 3 minute sandhya 🤣.  ( But the 'concern', ideally , ought to be of the practitioner 🙏. And the practitioner doesn't lack "access" to own data. If intellect is 'allowed' a chance, the very software USED by the processor_brain, plays the difference in role 😜.  Mind's software and intellects software ( a set of instructions 😓) matters qualitatively 🙏.

Oops! 😭

I didn't check if am 'licensed' to confuse a reader 🙏

UnQuote 

This response was when the other person narrated own inner experience related to watching:

1).Shift of intensity of breath between the 2 nostrils, occurring automatically every 2 hours…. the ‘pattern’ noticed, owing to situation around 🙏

2) the mind ( through its efforts to adapt itself to the shift of nature during the meeting points called “saandhya_kaal”, every 6 hours from 6 am, a junction 😜) and mind's “pattern” influenced by situation, like in the school physics labs experiment called “parallelogram of forces”😜

Confusingly yours,

psn(16 Aug 2026)

Tail piece: (😜)

If a reader has ‘held’ in one's Cache_memory a little sympathy, i can be ‘excused’ for merely pointing out a confusion 🙏( creater of confusion is not me!)

“Why are the vowels and consonants”mixed up” in English alphabet sequence?( None of my desi language is a cocktail like this. Vowels seperate from list of consonants 🙏)

I never”manufactured a language 🙏. Hence i didn't “cause” the bug in the software 😭. …..just trying to understand the bug( too late to debug the mixup now! Keyboard for English ended_up further confusing it 😥🙏🙏

R.I.P. significance?

 R.I.P.  significance?

I received the following query :

[14/08, 10:50 pm] query: 

I nowadays see this post on the death of a person.

Rest in Peace.

Om Shanti. Let the Soul attain Moksha.

Rest in Peace is applicable to Abrahamic religion mainly Christiananothers. Why these Hindus want to convert  Hindu to Christian on death.

Let the Soul attain Moksha.

How does the person knows that the dead person was seeking moksha. What does the person who wants moksha for the dead person know about moksha. How can you pass comment on a subject about which you hardly know. Knowing is not the proper word. Your elucidation on this.

My response 

[14/08, 11:58 pm] PSN: 😂

Those who 'out live' the  dead, don't know today, much about the phenomenon of death. 

Even a doctor knows only "clinical death" ( otherwise, there wouldn't have been cases of a fellow sitting up during जनाज़ा यात्रा 🤣)

What to do to the 'body'  has never been a doubt. In a little while, the stink will educate us👍

Hinduism, being irreligious and also super_scientific, has explored this phenomenon way back in very ancient times 🙏

We had a "choice" to inherit the indepth knowledge of what the ancients discovered, or to skip the grasp and just CopyPaste the ancients 🙏

( Evidence of the grasp by the ancients is easily noticeable in the 'rituals' we do for 10, 12 , or 16 days, for the dead🙏).

Your question is about the remarks/comments that the present day's people make about the 'being' that departed from the body.

Unless we know as to what happens after death how can we expect a reliable remark/comment?

First of all, we are not familiar with the 'being' ticking inside us, who makes the body as a live person. (Spiritual tools help if a person is keen to become "aware" of the "self'" within).

Till then, these comments/ritualistic phrases like "R.I.P., REACHED VAIKUNTHA, SHIVA_LOKA_PRAPTI, or even Moksha" are mere copypastes, to maintain a social uniformity 🙏

Copying from a 'bit' paper is a crime during an examination. Whereas, just sophisticate it : copy from your memory, and you are awarded a Gold medal 👍. Both these have no relevance to the purpose of being a "student". 

In my colony/nagar, many type a text in the WhatsApp group "Hearty condolences" ( and it sails through "smooth" 👍) . 

Even the most 'basic' truth about natural and accidental death is WIDELY misconstrued 🙏

Died during sleep is accepted as "natural" death 😓.  Whereas,  until at least 500 yesrs ago, people knew that it is possible to "walk out of the body at_will". Today, people 'force' the being to exit the body, by rendering it UN_LIVABLE🤣. It's suicide. 

It is one thing to park a car, and walk out and an entirely different thing to abandon a car ( which has broke_down, due to engine failure, fuel empty or got crashed, punctured etc )

Merely trying to dissect the remarks after death, is like doing a postmortem without even the body 😂

Very much yours,

psn(15 Aug, 2026)

Stamina unusual

 Stamina unusual 

During a month of brief stay at Raipur (at my dad's instance, to ‘work’ as a temporary clerk for a paltry pay of ₹150 😜. Room rent was ₹150 for that month & dad gave me money for 2 meals) in that branch under dad's control…. a typist got interested in me.

On a Saturday, he pushed his bicycle, walking along with me to my hotel room. We started talking spiritual bijness 😓.

On Monday morning we realised “hey, we gotta reach office today” he went home and told me later that his parents nearly informed police that he is missing (1974, no mobile etc). We both were surprised at each other's stamina 🤣. Non-stop marathon . I was surprised at his patience to listen, while he at my ability to keep bla-bla. 

Eight years later, he surprised me, appearing at Amravati at 2 pm on a Saturday. This time, i pushed my bicycle walking along with him to my room.

Non-stop till 11 pm night. He left for a night bus to Nagpur. While parting he said “I thought of impressing you with my additions in spiritual quest during past 8 years, when we discussed last at Raipur hotel. But I missed to think of your own evolvement in the meanwhile 😭. You have reached multifold than what you were last time. I can't dream of catching up with you Ever🙏. I won't try to meet you hereafter. My thirst is my fuel for my spiritual journey 🙏. Gratitude” . I didn't know what to say! I simply looked at him deep into his eyes 😥

I revere him for giving me a chance of “once in a lifetime”( or twice, maybe…) to meet a person who can sit and discuss with so much intensity, in a subject that average minds would run_away in 10 minutes 🤣🙏🙏🙏

I am sure, he would have made strides of progress🙏 ( no way to meet & confirm, and nothing to achieve by knowing it).

indefatigably yours,

psn (10 Aug, 2026)

PostScript: somewhere in 2004, i sat ( spine vertical) from 3 pm Saturday to 11 am Monday, for resolving the nagging and chronic unreconciled transactions at a branch of my office, non stop work, in the most boring area 😜. But I had a very unfair advantage of training in very intense spiritual practices which stretched into several days/ months😥. So this time, i was like “plugged to the existence” for backup energy 😜

Rishis

 Rishis 

I wasn't trying to 'brag' about Rishis. ( A close friend happened to quote a long history of Bharat during last 1000 years, where we YIELDED to all kinds of invasions and lost our glories. He said “no use of bragging about past rishis”)

I got a chance to review myself 🙏( Gratitude to my friend)

They (rishis)are an inalienable part of me 😭. I can't detach them from me even if I want 🙏

It makes sense to 'try' to understand a cancer cell in me, when I know that it has come to stay till i am alive 😓

A few guys( 'Rishis') have occupied my genes via lineage. My ancestors were benevolent enough to teach me to chant their names, just_in_case i really evolve enough to experience them in_me . The chant also happens to revive the 'humility' if any left in me , & accessible by me🤣.

So, I place both palms over my ears murmur my bio_data " abiVaadaye, rishi names, then gotra, sutra/formula of me, and lastly, my baptized name" and prostrate before that elderliness_wala, eight limbs touching the ground 🙏....

( I did yield to my eagerness to 'invoke' those rishis, when I was granted a OLT  Once_in_Life_Time --chance. During  Naandi shraadha on the Eve of  my son's thread ceremony!.... I am not disappointed 😞).

Even for 'bragging' one needs credible stuff. It's a choice between brooding over negative events of mega size in history and "using" the precious legacy bequeathed in multiple storage Devices by rishis, to attempt the highest human possibility 🙏

Rooted in rishis, yours,

Henry Kaiser.

The image is of my notes, Copied from ‘Readers’ Digest’ by me on 4 Jan, 1972 …an article “unforgettable Henry Kaiser” by Leonard Lyons.

Henry ‘built’ people, among his staff and ‘dealt’ with negativity in his assistant for 50 years, turning it into a positivity for self 😂

I was impressed enough to write a it down (no pocket money or gadgets to copy it in an easier way 🙏).

A precious lesson for me 🙏 

Dealing with negativity in people around (very different from ‘tolerance__intolerance🙏).

Looking back at my 54 years since then, i feel ‘not bad at all’. 😜
