Ignored ignorance

 Ignored ignorance 

For a very long time, I remained ignorant that to ignore (something) is a conscious choice, where as ignorance is lack/absence of the information itself about that something. 😂

A baby doesn't ignore anything 🙏. I wonders about anything and everything that it ‘senses’ through its sense organs. The sense organs are highly alert, very sharp and therefore very receptive( till that baby starts forming a ‘mind’ of its own). 

As an adult, my preoccupied mind  renders me ignorant of the mosquito that is biting my skin, and i ignorantly_ignore the pain sensation conveyed to my brain by the neuro-network, to evoke a ‘response’ towards the injured skin 😂 ( i was reading a suspense thriller 😞)

A few people decide to try sitting quiet with eyes closed, and still remain very alert, and yet very relaxed!( Usually this practice is done by the name ‘meditation’!).  The joke is, the tiny pain of a mosquito, or a much smaller sensation on the skin which we were hitherto ‘ignorant’ about, suddenly becomes intense enough to make us restless, and disturbs us, provokes a response from us, when we ‘decide' to sit ‘unmoved’ for a few minutes 😜. An itch somewhere ‘demands’ an Urgent scratching by our finger_nails😜 , and a ‘fight’ ensues within our mind, ‘who will win? The resolve to sit quiet or the exaggerated sensation?”

Communication in all its forms seeks to dispel our ignorance that we have the potential to respond to ‘life’ ticking inside us🙏. The source of this communication is from outside of us( ever changing situation) and also from within us. The sense organs takes care of data from outside! ( A teacher once asked us “all your educational degrees, information, data etc which is in your memory/harddisk came through only the 5 sense organs isn't it? Do you have any bit of information which did_not come through any of the 5 sense organs?( Input devices)?”  Oops! I felt!! 😳.  The question gave birth to another question”is it possible to gather data from other_than the sense organs?”...  I was reminded of a jargon “ESP”( Extra-sensory perception). Still it is only a ‘perception’( a visibility, a receptivity). But the desi word for ESP hinted at a deeper possibility 😥…. Gyan, knowledge, which is a product of post_analysis of well arranged data🙏😥….  Indriya_atheeth_gyan !!! ( Knowledge from beyond sensory levels source 😳)

Am I ignorant of all this just_because i ignored my ignorance??? 🤔

We do not get to see a non_human life form ( insects, animals, birds etc) getting trapped in a natural calamity like an earthquake, cyclone, flood, lightening, volcanic eruption etc 😥😳😳.  They don't ignore the early warning from nature, and therefore escape the onslaught. We put up an excuse of “ignorance” when we ignored our potential to sense the warning 🙏 ( Dr Yashpal Kapoor, who was a scientific advisor to Govt of India, wrote “tribals in the forest taught me to notice the ants who travel very differently, three days ahead of a torrential rain, to escape drowning, when our “Param Computer” is still struggling to be accurate in predicting weather 😜😂”). 

“Ignorance of law is not an excuse” !! Other than that, we decide to use ‘ignorance’ as an excuse for everything we ignored 👍.

Worst casuality of our decision_to_ignore is spirituality 🙏. ( Ancients decided to handle the problem of ignorance conclusively 😜. 

They conceptualized ‘that’ knowing which, we get rid of ignorance about anything 😜🙏.  They verbalised this concept into 4 stages of evolvement. These 4 are famous as MahaVakyas/declaratory truths! If these 4 are within a person's EXPERIENCE, he is free from ignorance of all forms. He can ‘know' whatever he wants to know, instantly 👍.  One recent person instituted 4 institutions to propagate these 4 truths, one each, as a gesture of highest human compassion possible. He is adorned with a sanskrit verse “shruti smriti puraanaanaam…. (etc)....aalayam, KARUNA-aalayam”( karuna means compassion. He is a store house of compassion towards fellow beings).

This blog is my attempt to persuade my fellow beings to get rid of ignorance, without waiting for myself to be rid of it first 🙏. Hence, my attempt is bound to contain a few flaws😂. Please do not ignore my flaws🙏.

Ignorantly yours,

Religaire

 Religaire

Original latin word and its original meaning (now extinct) was in synchronicity with one school of thought in recent Hinduism ( dvaita, duality)

Quote:

Religare is a Latin verb meaning "to bind," "to tie," or "to re-bind," widely cited as the etymological root of the English word "religion". It implies a reconnection or bond between humanity and the Divine, often interpreted as re-binding or tying human beings closely to God or spiritual truths

UnQuote 

When a mind turns “commercial”( 95+ percent of thoughts today can be ‘traced’ to some_kind_of commercial value 😜).... any concept gets diluted in its FUNCTIONAL form.

Like….

Religion is more_about keeping the flock_together ( nothing to do with divinity INSIDE a human 😜…. Proof: seldom, an Enlightenment happens in a temple😜….   It happened under a tree(Bodhi tree), etc)

Even a war ( March, 2026) is about commercial aspects of crude oil, not about a religious/humanitarian conflict.

Even the SOPHISTICATION sought in binary format ( computer) meant to replace the limitations of human intellect, as “AI” is functionally enslaved to serve only commercial interest ( AI generated memes are dominating the social media😜🙏…). We forgot the symbolism of the word “intellect” itself, and decided to call the artificial brain( a sophisticated processor) as “intelligence” .

Neglect the ‘core’ of a human ‘being’ and the sophistication thereafter, however intense or immense……can only be about the “peel of LIFE”, not about the core of the fruit😜

Unintelligently yours,

AI is brain, not intellect

 A.I. is brain, not intellect 

A very close friend searched for difference between asheervad and Anugrah ( blessings and benediction)

A.I. responded with 

Quote: Aashirwad (आशीर्‌वाद) is a Hindi word meaning 'blessing' or 'good wishes'. It's often used to express goodwill or a positive sentiment towards someone.

Anugraham (അനുഗ്രഹം) is a Malayalam word that also means 'blessing' or 'grace'.

While both words convey a similar meaning, there's a subtle difference in connotation:

- Aashirwad often implies a more active or intentional act of blessing or wishing well.

- Anugraham typically carries a sense of divine or unconditional grace, often implying a more passive or benevolent act.

In everyday usage, both words are used interchangeably to express goodwill or blessings.

Would you like to explore more words or their cultural context?”

And he added : “AI response.”

Unquote.

My reply to my friend:

Quote 

Exactly 😂

A.I. responds with only that data which is 'fed' into it.

But it does a "good job" ...collecting the pattern from a randomised data 🙏

The human brain" is doing the "A.I." job.....(Whereas Human "intellect" is entirely different from A.I. 😂....  शायद , A.B. ज्यादा ठीक होगा . Artificial brain 🙏)

Though not an exact definition.....

A relatable example,

Where a "functional sample" of human intellect can be seen 🙏...is in a popular story = Valmiki conceived+ wrote Ramayana, before it happened (🙏🙏...  दृष्टा,  पांचवां प्रकार का teacher, जिससे सिर्फ "गुरु" ही ऊपर है 😜)

Unquote 

We average minds refer to our memories most of the time, and our brain processes only the data fed into it. 

When the “mind” is the boss, the brain obligates only the mind. 😜

The brain is “accustomed” to become inactive, when the mind is not in the chair of a boss 😂 ( Nature alerts the brain, only in an emergency…. ).  Deep-sleep state is an example.

Who inside me, is the listener, the experiencer, the receiver of data_input, matters 👍 (a great being explained it with the acronyms BMI→PFT→OET)....

Identification of the ‘who’ is only after a grasp of the distinction between terms like brain, mind, intellect, memory, imagination, emotions of both types, and the being😜

Paradoxically, who inside me is “trying to understand” the ‘Who_Is_Who” decides the accuracy of the grasp😜 ( like the old joke: a native vaidya/doctor suggested “ this youth is mad. Only a marriage can restore his normal mental health “.... the paradox is, unless his madness is cured, no bride will marry him, and unless he gets a bride, his madness is incurable)

Brainily yours,

Why do humans need a doctor?

 Why do humans need a doctor?

It had been my “private” curiosity even since I was a kid, and I noticed that all other life forms in its free state RESPOND to any dis_ease by themselves! Their response includes the labour_pain and death. DIY technology 😜( do it yourself).

It led to a search for oddity in humans!

I had to wait beyond youth and even middle age to get convinced that my_own inferences are valid. ( Even now, I am open to corrections with utmost humility+ gratitude. Meanwhile, I liked to share my observations with a few others. Maybe they might have something in it to use🙏😓).

Mind, because of its ability to choose, making its own choices, had to interfere with the in_built response system and its own cellular intelligence embedded in our physiology 🙏.

Most of the time, this cellular intelligence fights an enemy within( like Bharat has been busy with), instead of using its resources to defend from external threats.  Most of the CHRONIC ailments we have, are a result of our bad_choices of response to the needs of our body!( Cravings for junk food 😜. Animals in free state eat responsibly, sensibly and thus remain Healthy, not just disease_free🤣).

If I had no mind right from my birth out of a healthy womb, I may not need a doctor???( A very strange kind of thought 🤔). I looked at a mental health home. Doctors aren't needed for inmates who didn't have any PRE-EXISTING chronic ailments🙏. Their body is free_from their mind( that's why strong and healthy caretakers are employed!).

Next level: did humans ever detach the superfluous interference/meddling of their minds into the sensible functioning of their bodies??? All the roads led to the same destination 🤣…. Desi spiritual giants, when they tamed their physiology to the highest humanly_possible levels, to a certain point where the body doesn't interfere with their “consciousness”( call it by any other name, spirit, atma, being, prana, chaitnya…etc).

Migration to a forest, after 60 is not like migrating to “USA”, or relocating closer to any multi-speciality hospital 😜. Basic qualification itself is compatibility with all kinds of life forms dwelling in a forest, and a self-imposed undertaking “not to tamper with the ecology” of the forest. 

Which is easier to tame? Body, mind or ‘the’ breath?  ( Breath is the only 24/7 connectivity with nature outside of our body!). These 3 are entwined 😜. 

It makes sense to ‘deal’ with the easiest one first🙏.  Human intellect is the most sophisticated gadget for any human. The mind can refuse to see the truth, whereas the intellect can see only the truth😭.

A doctor can give symptomatic relief for any dis-ease. Cure/recovery etc is up to the body🙏. Doctors say at times “the body is not accepting the medicine”.  The mind and its positive emotions might help to persuade the body to “please accept the medicine”. The rarity of such minds makes it seem like a miracle! 

I still don't know why the adage is “a sound mind in a sound body”??? When mind is the culprit to make each human body capable of uniquity of dis-eases😜🤣. Each fellow has a unique ailment, needing a doctor “good or lucky” at diagnosis 🙏. 

My experience is, once the mind gets tamed, body takes care of its own medical expenses 🙏😜… ( maybe, to tame a mind, i have to request my body to undergo a “circus” called “Yoga”… a misnomer 😜. )

Heartily yours,

Why the blessings are in a disguise?

 Why the blessings are in a disguise?

Flu like symptoms 🙂

I enjoyed "fever" as a very small kid( but didn't dare to spell it out aloud😳)

What I enjoyed was..... everything inside was communicating with me louder. ( And something more strange, my mind felt clearer EVERY time 🤔)

I knew I was an odd guy in this 🙏.  ( The best part was, i seemed_to_know that i am likely to get a fever tomorrow 🙏. And seldom got a wrong guess 😂. I didn't know how_else this forewarning is going to be of any other use, until i stepped on to spiritual practices 😓.  This 'accidental' ability enhanced the body_awareness like a 'bonus' ahead of time 😜)

Disguised gift….body awareness 🤣🤣🤣

Yet, i wasn't quite convinced about this saying “blessings” are always in disguise!

Then came a lesser used word “benediction”. Tangible item. 

Next level…..benedictions have an expiry date 😜 ( they can't be carried over beyond this life time😓😭🙏)

Next level (of my grasp). Blessings add to my inner strength! Innate qualities get enhanced/enlarged/etc. 

Next level ( desi equivalent?...). The school taught in English medium only. The thinking_language oscillated between english and hydraabaadi_hindi only. A sheer consequence of what I “used” as a language most of the time! 

Desi equivalent, I hunted it down as a kid….asheervad & anugraham. ( Another problem arose🙏😰 “why do mallus seek only Anugraham only, instead of asheervad? 🤔”. Can't ask such “non_routine” questions to elders, as a kid. I had to “wait” till the answers decide to ‘bless me’ 🙏😜😜😜)

Morals …. in verbal form, received, stored or recalled….seemed more_like a benediction😳😳😳( hardly they get implemented!!!) 

Basics of “life”, when understood by the “intellect”( bypassing the mind, its emotions/logic, and then stored using “cloud technology”😜🙏🙏🙏… ), seemed to obviate even the need of ‘ethics’ wrapped as moral_science, i got in school, as a weekly period class of 40 minutes till my 7th. Dunno, why did the school stop moral_science as a subject after 7th? 

I felt thrilled to ‘view’ the basics of life ( even to the miniscule extent that I grasped) as a “blessing”.  It feels as though it is becoming a part of karma, which means “carry_forward” is pucca👍👍… ( the bigger joke is…. contradicting proverbs, sayings, adages started becoming visible😜. And desi_versions i noticed don't conflict mutually 😳. Awesome 👍)

Simply yours,

Not my problem

 Not my problem
(popular mind-set of today, socially acceptable)

"The whole creation is my concern as well"
( a whole society thought like this, till the recent millennium, in Bharat.😊!)
Whether an individual's 'concern' for such VAST level of inclusiveness made a difference or not.... for sure it helped that Individual to attain the highest-human-possibility 🙏.  Logic cannot befriend inclusiveness of such a huge magnitude. Logic contends saying 'infinity' ain't my problem!

Symbolically, Sun the only star of our planetary system, and the only 'male' that gave birth to life in all forms known to us, is 'said to be donating' a thousand cows, as a gesture of gratitude, when a person is born,  who is likely to energize the sun, using sound forms, compatible with quantum laws🙏. Verification of the validity of this symbolism is possible only after acquiring certain level of sensitivity, transcending the sensory levels of perception. (meanwhile, a dumb-data can suffice as a 'reference' using the ritual called Sandhya-Vandan, done thrice by that person, when Sun is viewed at its extremes at any location on earth)

Exploration during the recent centuries was mostly from west. People from east tried to explore only to accentuate their exploration deep within, called spirituality 😜. There is a qualitative difference in both these quests. The commonality being, an attitude like "It is very much my concern"!!!

My experience: 
Somewhere in 2009 or so, during one of  my routine visits to the village of my spouse, she happened to suggest "shall we go for a walk?". Such 'walks' are not in our syllabus   😜
We walked. 
It was sunset. A ringing of bells at a small temple attracted her ears. She said "A murugan temple. Saandhya-Pooja time. Do you mind a look for a couple of minutes. We are already beside the temple" (She had to offer so-much of positive reasoning because she knew my present trend. Not keen about  visit to temples 😊)
I nodded. We stood at the doors of the shrine. The priest was gesticulating with articulations in 'sync'. After the energised flame in the camphor was offered to the devotees present (only 2 of us, then), the priest stepped out for a fresh-breath-of-air (the sanctum is dark, zero ventilated, and the available O2/oxygen gets spent by burning lamps, incense, camphor etc----something logic defying about desi temples, especially when there are zero side effects on the 'health' of any priest 😜
I gently inquired with the priest "Sir 🙏....  TANTRA eh?" ,  His eyes widened. An unusual query!!!  He was familiar with only-not-my-problem posture of minds from his regular devotees there, who were only from the vicinities.  
He exclaimed :"yes! And not quite often we get to see this form of the deity being invoked with tantric chants!. I couldn't avail even a single day's 'off from work'/leave/holiday, simply because there is no substitute who can perform the rituals in tantric style. My home is far away" 

His curiosity was "how is this (temple's different style of propitiation) a concern for this guy?" (I could see the source of his_problem 😂... curiosity/wonder.  And therefore I proceeded to explain whatever I had observed in his performance of pooja)
He was emotionally moved.  Almost like, his hard work, dedication, and skills received a crude and informal recognition from a total stranger, and yet meant a lot for him 😂.  My wife was equally stupefied, since it was a 'first time' for me, to a temple which she used to visit from her kid age. 
That priest had to proceed towards the next set of rituals, and we had exceeded our 'budgeted' time allocated here. He wound up saying "Please visit on a Thai_poosam day, and I will ensure a place for you to stand and witness the special pooja, despite a crowd on that annual event." I thanked him, and left. (Today, 1st April, 2026 is a "Panguni Uthram" day, an annual event at all Murugan temples. Murugan is known as "Kaartikeya" in the North of Bharat. Tamils regard Murugan as 'their own God". )

My blogs are a glaring evidence of my mental problem, when I couldn't acquire the attitude "not my problem".  I tend to run_into_trouble often due to the absence of "mind my own-bijness" trait.

intrusively yours,
psn (1st April, 2026)

 

Merit versus qualification

 Merit versus qualification 

A very "private" joke🙏

1969, my dad joked at home ( within only 'his' family 🙏) : " a funny situation at office. I hold charge of 3 offices, nagpur, bilaspur and raipur, as Manager. But in my office of 25 staff, i am the least qualified😂.  All the 3 peons are "PUC"(12th or +2). I am just a matric. The steno, an M.A. in English asks the meaning of a few sentences i dictate and she 'transcribes' on typing machine from her shorthand notes🤣"

That day....i learnt a very precious lesson 🙏

Merit has zero dependence on certification process.

"Nature" played a joke with me, during 1992 to 1998 and still_on. Spiritual processes Accord merit which are elusive to the 'notice' even, at sensory levels of perception 🙏😭

( I feel stupid, when i indulge in an imagination, where i 'try' to convey my experience to close and trusting people around me 🙏. No way, they can see it. )

Helplessly yours,

psn(30 March, 2026)

Post script:  not too sure, but i guess, paper qualification became a necessity, when our ability to recognise "merit"  got extinct 😭 ( and now, fake certificates abound😜)

Propeller and Universal joint

 Propeller & Universal joint

Awesome concept 🙏

Modernity had infused an attitude of ‘mockery’ in a few minds, and they used the phrase “bullock cart people” to refer to the ancient Indians. The irony is this very phrase describes the ‘life’ of these fanciful people, and the joke is they are ignorant of ‘life’ itself mocking at them😜

Yes, a bullock cart is pulled/pushed USING an external force applied to it(the bullocks are the force, the power, the fuel, the energy🙏).  The cart moves the wheels, not the wheels itself moving the cart🙏.

And a modern vehicle uses internalised power applied directly to the wheels and when the wheels are turned by a  propeller ( transmission of power) the vehicle moves!) 

When a bullock cart takes a turn, 

the wheel outer to the circular direction is ‘forced’ to rotate a larger distance 😜. The wheel at the inner side compensates by rotating in a reverse direction to ‘OFFSET’ the difference in difference travelled due to turn. This reversal of inner wheel is solved by placing an Universal joint to the dhaft connecting the two wheels. A marvel of invention in engineering 🙏

My idle mind( again a phrase used to refer to the idleness “an idle mind is a Devil's workshop!”😂), just tried to “look” at a bullock cart and a car.  The most fundamental aspect occured in that idleness( actually a “still/silent mind” in the desi_sense, of a meditative mind, which “allows” the intellect  to ‘see’🙏.

1.the car is driven by internal fuel. The cart gets pushed by external force (situation decides. If the bullock decides to turn left, the driver HAS to use a whip😜).

2. The 2 wheels dont ‘cooperate’ with each other in a bullock cart, unless the direction is a ‘smooth_forward + straight line’. 

Today's human_life is SITUATION driven. 😂

Then, i turned to look at the ‘available' data about the lifestyles of ancients!!😓. They channelised the life_force inside them, and that force decided the direction. The mind and the body, coordinated in synchronicity with the internalised fuel, its transmission chain, mechanism, design, purpose and even the ‘road_map’ 😜. WHAO!!!

Forget the whims of the bullock(situation external) even the wheels( body and mind) OBLIGED to the superior intellect, instead of each wheel the body and the mind, yielding to its own eccentric cravings, whims etc, neither aligning with the situation, nor with the internal road_map built in 🙏

I was very hesitant to share this ‘funny and comical’ looking thought all along🙏

But 2 things internalised my ‘motive_force’( like the ‘e.m.f’ in physics 😂). My personal experience with the tools(ancient), for sophisticating the vehicle Equipped with body and mind….and the fact that i am aged enough to know that my time is up now and it makes sense to motivate a rare few who can afford to use their own sense of Discrimination to decide which of the 2 is worth working upon towards_sophistication???( The precious gadget called human body and mind, with its H.I./human intellect? Or, the poorly fabricated gadgets without its life, using A.I….???). The experience of ‘life’ gets decided accordingly 🙏. External gadgets are excellent slaves, but devilish as our_Masters🙏. Choice is ours! 

A propeller, yours,

Post script:

This after_thought is a tribute to my dear kid_age friend, who happens to be a renowned Surgeon, often assisting his spouse, a gynaecologist 🙏. He asked me a question (which can occur ONLY to a beautiful mind😜). He asked “why does the baby want to come out?”( It took me an hour plus, to supply ‘scientifically' oriented reasons for a spiritual phenomenon 🙏)

He summed up “oh! That's the way the soul( spirit/atma/etc) manifests!!” I thanked him for his feedback/response. Today, i was reminded of his question 🙏.  Internalised energy power, deciding to ‘move’ the body and its accessories out of the womb 😜😜😜.
