Curiosity & exploration

 Curiosity & exploration 

The subtle distinction between the 2 drivers.... 

Curiosity

Exploration 

....is easier noticeable in kids 🤣

( A professional 'teacher', who is unfortunately sincere in teaching, needs the 'use: of sense of Discrimination...to distinguish this, in her each student — for a response to be productive 🙏😭)

Otherwise, for mere salary, teacher simply 'parrots' the damn syllabus every year till retirement. Any value addition to the kids is quite incidental and unintentional 😔🙏

If adults are eager to ‘know' about their own levels of receptivity ( whether it is just a curiosity to know? Or an exploration to rediscover something?)....they can try an honest introspection at their recent sightseeing trips 😜

( I omit mentioning details of my eccentricities in each visit to strange spiritual places, mostly plundered remnants 🙏)

But a joke is okay 👍…..

A cousin of mine, a native of Kerala, and hence understandably ‘extra-proud’ of his grasp in mallu language, boasted of his in-depth grasp of the subtle theme of an old movie “nakhaKshatangal” ( newly released then!). He even described the newer dimensions he noticed incrementally during his second and third viewing of that movie 😂. One hour, he described the ‘subtle’ aspects 🙏. He paused.

I replied “ i saw the movie only ONCE 🙏”, and continued “i think i can relate the theme to the name of the movie, as a humble guess, since you didn't mention the justification of title of the movie 🙏”

And i proceeded with my version of what i saw😂…. Just 15 minutes, since I had to mention ONLY what he missed!

He felt a little awkward to openly say that i noticed even that, which he missed, but he blurted it in another sentence “ i must see that movie again now👍”( unable to ‘wait’, he traveled a 100 kms to a theatre where it was screened in its second run, morning show, after renewal of licence of 10 years, from censor Board.

Inquisitively yours,

Miracle men

 😂

Miracle men 
The rahasya/secret about their super power!

( I received a forward in WhatsApp.  https://youtu.be/jwdtna3KpbM?is=IvmWgGvojx6coJ6y )

Who within us, is 'seeking' to know?( About such people?)

Whether he is a fakir or Bhagwan?

Any 'miracle' performer becomes popular, much faster than a humble saintly person who quietly minds his own bijness 🙏 

If the 'miracles' are just for show, people seek only entertainment.

If the miracle gives solutions to people, they become 'devotees' 

If miracles cause harm, people hate the person, fear him, and become a slave too 😓

That simple fellow going through all the same/similar hurdles of life, and yet remains undisturbed, joyous, emotionally stable, intellectually sharp, highly receptive,responsive etc impresses 'rare few' around 😜. Such rare few seek_to_know the rahasya/secret of this ever_joyous guy. 

Miracles are those which eludes our grasp🙏

( A tribal boy from deep african jungle regards even me as a miracle -man, if I touch a wall and a bulb lights_up at the ceiling 😜. Truth is, i lack the basic knowledge when a light refuses to switch on? Wiring, fused bulb or power trip? 🤔)

Human body is a miracle gadget🙏

It can be turned into a below_animal level of indulgence or can be turned to transcend nature🙏 ( personal choice......what i do with my body😓)

With rigorous training and practices ( tapas, austerity) this body can become a conduit for receiving+ transmitting subtle energies. Such potential was known as siddhis 🙏. The quality of 'mind' is exclusive to such capabilities.

Body can also become a conduit 'naturally' 😜, in rare/stray/freak cases. ( Karmic residues of far_past). How is the extra/super 'powers' going to be used? The quality of mind decides😜..

The people around are also 'driven' by their own mind's quality 🙏. ( Rare few bother to 'free' themselves/spirit/atma/whatever, from the clutches of own mind🙏. )

Somehow, I wasn't interested or attracted towards any super_powers, or the performers thereof 🙏....  Instead, i was keen to make the 'best possible use' of this gadget i got for 'free' and to strive to evolve to my_best, till my last breath. Let the 'giver' of this gadget decide/judge about my performance 🙏.  As i grew up, i discovered that i can do something with my body, then something/somebody taught me, i can tame even my mind, using my body&breath ( mind is connected to the 2) 😜...   Good enough 🙏 👍.   Thus, value_addition became a thing I ended up seeking after😜😂... It stayed and even stabilised my seeking to refine myself 🙏. 

Miraculously yours,

Reincarnation of Rama

 100% fiction 🙏

Assuming that Rama was indeed real(assumption is only to 'please' sceptics 😭)

And, Rama (same character, but present version of aam_aadmi) is around 20 years of age today(2026).

Rama_2026 will live and go unnoticed 😜

No one will vote for him. Deposit lost as an MLA/MP ( even his own family won't vote. They vote for only freebies. Any accidentally honest family fellow will conclude "misfit in today's world. No use wasting my honest vote).

We aam Aadmi are different from aam Aadmi of "RaamRajya"( please see, raamRajya was not about Sri Rama, it was about "rajya", the citizens of tretaYug. Logic 🙏)

We are highly tolerant to....
1. Wide spread corruption 
2. Dishonest within+outside family 
3. Mutual indifference 
4. Lack of empathy 
5. Materialism upto 99.99%
6. Display of arrogance of money and it's related power.
7. Disuse of sense of Discrimination 😜 ( to the extent that we don't know what it really means🙄)

8) etcetera ( by now, we know what else)

Rama_2026 leans too heavily on outside support ( 100% genuine as 'aam aadmi' and therefore doesn't 'carry' super_powers like other Avatars 😭).

Meanwhile, those divine guys( somewhere up there) might have perhaps thought "let the aam aadmi do what they like, forsaking the basic_human_values. Anyway 'in the scheme of things'  self_destruction is a pucca embedded software 👍. Those few who wake up despite the negatives all around, will find their liberation too, clandestinely 😜"

( One guy trying to uplift Bharat is a loner in several subtle ways🙏. Trust deficit automatically occupies where negative emotions abound. Love can only feign, not spread 🙏) 

Inconspicuously yours,

A tribute to my teacher

 I do not ( rather "should not") expect a reader to find any value addition from this one blog 🙏

Nothing prevents a reader to find anything 'worthwhile' in it.

I felt it appropriate to place a gratitude at the feet of my teacher, as a 'gesture' also, since this blog allows me such a freedom 🙏 ( my gratitude to the organization "blogger.com")

Any genuine seeker on a spiritual path, finds numerous questions surging from within 😜.

In my case, I CONSCIOUSLY decided to wait patiently till the teacher decides to answer them, unasked 😂.

I did ask one question 🙏 ( it was about my disinclination to ask any question 😥).

I took every care possible by me, to present the question in strict conformity with verse 110 of chapter 2, in the Manusmriti 🙏 ( the care was owing to the reverence I felt for my teacher, despite his flexibility in "ask me any nonsensical question 👍" )

My question: "why is it that my urge to articulate a question dies by the time I reach your proximity? I fail to ask! 🤔"

His reply is too sacred for me to CopyPaste it here🙏( it is nothing secret, private, personal, confidential or anything like that.... Just sacred, due to its sanctity😂). I didn't have to ask any question to him thereafter 🙏.

Unquestioningly yours,
( this time, "yours" includes my teacher 😜) psn(25 June, 2026)

Stubbornity, firmness, and flexibility

 Stubbornity, firmness, and flexibility 

One blessing in disguise is that my blogs are seldom taken too intensely.( Only one out my 1000+ blogs ‘caused’ a rare and one of the coveted states of spiritual experience. Neither me or that reader can claim any ’credit’. Closest explanation is, like a huge spill at a petrol bunk, with the air super_soaked with the oil, waiting for a spark from a humble matchstick at the edge of the ‘area’ 😜)

My spiritual teacher is a “super” example for me, to learn the ‘basics’ of life 🙏 

It took 3 decades for me to even understand his extra_flexibility in handling ‘me’ as his own_commitment towards the disciple decided upon by_him.  Otherwise, his_flexibility towards many others was like God's own flexibility towards humans😜(“do whatever nonsense you like for a million lifetimes 👍.  Eventually, you will seek Me”). My teacher's firmness at its subtlest should have been ‘the’ reason for his flexibility unto me! 😂.  

Becoming aware of one's own stubbornity is very basic to living meaningfully 🙏. And this awareness leans too heavily upon the need of understanding ”firmness” with utter clarity.

We relax our stubbornity under great stress, mental tension, anxiety, fear etc😂. Perhaps, anger is the only negative emotion that adds to own stubbornity 🙏

I leave it at that …. 😜

( I thank my flexibility, which is a gift from my firmness about the reasons thereof 🙏)

Firmly and flexibly yours,

psn(25 June, 2026)

Post script:  I can confess here! I haven't been able to adhere to the 110th verse of chapter 2, of Manusmriti, despite decades of consistent efforts 🙏.  My own stubbornity is awaiting for a clarity about the need to adhere to it effortlessly 🙏. Till then, my firmness is my stubbornity in disguise 😭, and I am painfully aware of this self_deception 😜

Breath

 Breath

My spiritual teacher narrated a brief story during my first time to a spiritual program, (closest word for its sanskrit name is “synthesis”).

Story:

Gautama Buddha had a very close childhood friend.  A commitment to such friendship is unconditional+ without expectations 🙏.

Buddha ‘wished’ that this friend should benefit from the spiritual wealth Gautama possessed. But that friend used to procrastinate every time when Gautama passes by the shop of that friend, saying “too busy with my bijness, next time you visit 👍”

Years passed. That ‘next time ‘ never came 😂.

News spread that Buddha is going to breathe his_last soon.

Friend was shocked! He rushed to see Buddha 🙏.

Disciples prevented him initially “nobody can disturb his peaceful departure 🙏”

Friend implored “my kid age friend. Just 5 seconds🙏, last_chance for me😭”

Friend was allowed.

Buddha was lying eyes closed. No movement.

Friend: “Hey, Siddharth ... .I am here. I apologise having neglected you all along 🙏. Just tell me one thing. How to get_you after you are gone???”

Gautama opened his eyes, looked into the eyes of his friend and said “watch your breath”. Eyes closed thereafter 🙏 

It is said, these words “watch your breath” became one of the most_powerful spiritual_tool given by Buddha 🙏 ( it needs the ‘key words’ for it to function….😜. Only a Guru can ‘initiate’ a deserving disciple to use those ‘key words' 🙏. A chant!

( Even otherwise, plain breath_awareness can work….but only according to the ‘fuel of intensity ‘ of a seeker 😜)

I got initiated as well 👍 🙏 🙏 🙏 

An initiate, yours,

We are basically entertainment seekers

 We are basically entertainment seekers

This blog might disappoint 🙏

Readers are advised to exercise caution, similar to reading a ‘notice' for AGM of a corporation, without any ‘explanatory notes’ 😜…  

This blog has many loose ends 🙏

In 1970 or so, I was surprised to see a movie being released in morning show 😳

After seeing the movie, i got the answer 👍 ( dosage of entertainment is below the minimum requirement of masses 😕)

( Chandramohan jain whispered his question, not shouted to the speaker, 🙏. He knew the 'nature' of audience 🙏. )

Imagine Rajnikant/Amitabh ( even devAnand ) replicating the boxing/wrestling world championship style against villain 😜. Audience will be bored to death.

I was 'eagerly' awaited by my cousins in Kerala during summer holidays. Even after 15 days' stay with each gang, they request 'stay one more week 🙏'. ( Now, it is 2 decades since I visited them. They don't 'miss' me 🙏. Instead, they feel relieved 😜. I don't entertain 😭, of late 😥).

Remove the frills from crowd_rituals and improve the bare_vedic part, and see if people 'attend' with the same number? 😅 (The frills obscured the purpose of attendance itself😭🙏🙏🙏)

Exceptions are everywhere and in everything 👍. ( Jaggi's third program is a total contrast to the first basic yoga programs, in terms of entertainment. 😅.... Still, a good number come. सिर्फ़, the 'good' in the number is from the 'large' of 8 basic program of 10 places😥🙏). 

Seminars are popular today, only because the organisers sacrificed the intrinsic meaning of the word 'semen' in the adapted_concept behind selection of the audience 🙏. The main_purpose of 'seminar' is irrelevant now👍

Patanjali’s yoga sutras( the book) is rarely read. Among the readers very rarely understood. Within those who understood, very few practiced it 😥. It is not popular, but antique, and therefore survives today. The ‘preservation’ part is owing to earliest readers who attributed reverence by themselves_becoming a product of that monumental book🙏. Today it is a most boring book for today's minds, in its bare form without any explanation 🙏

Tersely yours,

psn(20 June, 2026)

A question to WhatsApp University

 A question to WhatsApp University 

Now that this university churns out billions of unsolicited spiritual advices…. 🙏

I thought it's worth asking a humble question 🙏

Can WhatsApp University provide me the transcript of non_verbal COMMUNICATION received by Mr Paul Brunton, when he visited Sri Bhagwan Ramana maharishi, the second time?

Paul Brunton is the same one who authored the book “Search in secret India”.

The occasion called second visit is described in that book itself 😜 ( A.I. search with intelligent key words can yield info very quickly)

Easier question if this one irritated a reader🙏

A very famous verse. 

“sruthi smrithi purAnAnAm Alayam karunAlayam |

namAmi bhagavadh pAdha shankaram lOka shankaram “

Question: who said/wrote this???( I am ain't ‘seeking’ any answer😜…  By fluke, my antenna worked 👍)

Questioningly yours,

psn(18 June, 2026)
