Silly questions

 I might keep adding my sillyness, through questions  here. So revisiting this blog is a subject-matter of solicitation ( not a compulsive-syndrome)

Silly questions

1)Why do we learn? ( How to learn? is a vital question ❓)

2)Why do humans need parenting?

3)why do we miss our sense of discrimination while inside our dream?( we are unable to ask that dead person we knew "hey! You were dead, then how did you appear now?". We also don't know, it is our dream, not real)

4) garbha gruha in a temple is ill_ventilated, and priest further spoils the ventilation burning camphor, incense & oil lamps, and keeps the door shut most of the time….. and yet, he looks fresh? Over years he has no ventilation probs 🙏

5)human death anniversary on moon phases of that month each year, whereas God's birthdays are on moon phases instead of Star birthday like us???

6)festivals related to god's birthdays are usually with junk food ( even as prasadam), whereas food on death anniversary is damn healthy and easily digestible even if we overeat 😜

7)I used to quiz....those who are unlikely to get angry suddenly " can you tell me why......Godji in his different avatar, dashaavataar, etc....give moksha to main villains, the raakshasaas, and leave the poor victims in a lurch??? . Does it not look odd? Not an injustice?" They stare 🫣 no answer😜)

8) who between two is more prone to get angry, a coward or a brave person?( A coward may be even strong, and a brave one weak )

9) Did you mention factually inside your dream to somebody " hey ...I had a dream last night"

Meaning.....was there a dream within a dream????

🙏 i ain't gonna embarass you asking for the "reasons" etc.  🙏 ( that needs a genuine qualification in psychiatry 😜....not just a paper degree. A yogi is enough to explain 🙏)

10) what does the emotion of vismaya/wonder do to us? We dropped it, like we get rid of our appendix, when it is unwell, merely because medical science doesn't know it's purpose 😜

11) are you able to switch off logic and still think, by choice, consciously? 

12) Do you agree with my baseless wild guess.....???

I guess that among all nations globally, even today, Bharat has the biggest ratio/percentage of people, for whom money is not everything. We hold on to values, that are very basic to life, though of  no commercial worth or value .

If....you are able to agree, then your own priorities about those values, over and above wealth? 😜

13)Whenever you meet any acquainted person, 

do you view him with your outdated & fixed opinion?( or with an open mind ready to update the opinion with present reality?😜)

I have this problem : when I meet Valmiki today, I have no way to recognise him as a transformed Rishi, and my perception is outdated by just 3 days, when he was "😫Ratnakar_Bandit". So I was curious about others😜🙏

14) can you describe a thought ( or a sentence), which is not a judgement of any kind? Not a conclusion of any kind?

15) do you know through 'experience' the difference between empty stomach and a hungry stomach. If yes, how do you know you are hungry, if your body is trying to tell you? ( we "feel" very thirsty, and therefore we know, we want water to drink, urgently…..hunger?)

16) I asked my spouse " can you make out if the soiled appearance is gone from a dark coloured saree? You prefer a dark coloured dress, because it hides the soiled_colour, and therefore makes washing easy+lazy 😜

( I won't reveal her answer…. because it deals with deeper_perception to say "yes!"...

17) is humility a cultivable quality, or….is it a mere consequence of 'something/s else? 😜🙏🙏… like, we can cultivate honesty, by speaking truth always, by not taking bribe etc… humility? Is it an exclusive quality like honesty, stealing, looting, donating etc? 

18) kids are taught to respect & revere elders.

Is it sensible to revere and respect mere age, instead of elderliness which is not dependent on age, but probably used to sync with age often in ancient times?

19) do you consciously, and by yourself, voluntarily try to look to see, if you are also a part of the problem, whenever you are confronted by a problem? ( why should I look into? is not my problem. I and pappu are often a problem for others😂( though for diagonally opposite reasons 🙏), and so seldom we find an occasion for this kind of problematic introspection.

20) which one is a choice, positivity or negativity? 😜

First sip, taste, snort of nervous stimulants( drugs, liquor, etc) was a conscious choice. Once addicted, there is no more any choice 😜

Can positivity ever become an addiction? Can negativity be a choice?

21) why are we unable to become very intense in whatever we do, during our waking hours?  All other life forms are quite intense in living. ( What might happen, if we ‘try’ being intense at very routine, mundane and boring jobs?

22) what will you choose between blessings and benediction if there is an offer of any one item from a very powerful giver? ( in my view , there cannot exist anything beyond these two ). 

23) how would you sight wisdom in otther person?   ( relevance.?.. my teacher asked an all_the_more_tough koschan…. “How would you recognise, if the fellow seated next to you in a crowded bus is an enlightened being?”...they don't brag about it)

24) “no response” says the doctor, when he checks a patient in deep coma. But, when we are okay, and interact with our life situations all our waking hours, how often do we respond, instead of reacting ??? ( now, do you feel a reaction to this silly koschan, or does a response surge ?)

25) can wonder/വിസ്മയം/विस्मय be cultivated as a habit/capability, independent of any other emotion ( exclusively)?

Kids used to “wonder” …. Or, is wonder also, a consequence like, innocence,  humility etc? ( darkness & cold are a consequence of absence_of_xyz science)

26) are you having the ability to notice the latent “qualities” in any person, who is largely available within your proximity?( simplified form: if, N.D.Modi had continued to be a chaiwala/teaServer near you for 10 yrs, would have “listed” out several qualities in him? ( so_called andhBhakht, can list good, whereas haters can list bad qualities, though neither of them ever met him in person 😜). My colleages"discovered"me afresh after I turned ex-colleague😜🙏

27) Exceptionally good at which one, othe two , emotions and logic, is going to help becoming good at the other one????

( simplified version....

Excellent emotions enable dexterity at flawless logic?

Or,

Exceptionally accurate logical prowess enables deepest emotional capabilities??)

28) Between logic(reasoning) and emotions, which one can we afford to forego in a situation, of worldly material life?

( even to answer this sensibly, we may need to keep aside for a moment, our  emotion and use logical reasoning ? Dunno 🙄)

29) you may be a slave or a master/boss of your logic and/or emotions… 

But, between  logic and emotions inside us, which is the boss or slave of the other? Or, are they merely interdependent?  Or are they complementary and/or supplementary to each other? 

30) why is it that mother nature chose bleeding ( blood) to cleanse a female after her puberty ( till 55)?  And, we haven't heard of such bleeding-for-cleansing in other life forms, why? ( a very deep understanding of this process might-offer a gift of release from psychosomatic disorders that a woman( working ones….err…actually, earning ones) face as stress, tenShun etc in the present day). If we never noticed this aspect hitherto, at least I am not to be blamed😜… menstruating females do-use sweat, urine, etc like any of us, to cleanse their inner physiology,  then why bleeding?  🙏😜😂😂😂( no 2 women bleeding alike, why?)

31) this koschan only for fun🙏 ( let those, who call themselves “scientific tempered”, fathom it)

Why did ancients ask very differently from today's scientists, a basic question? ( ancientquestion was “ why did it rain?”  Instead of today's “how can it rain?” ….  And ancients brought rains using chants and fire worship. Toady “param computer” isn't able to match the ability of ants to predict-a-rain… dr.Yashpal kapoor quotes his true experience when tribals showed him, ants predicting rains🙂🙏)

32) we heard of powerful ascetic, using their powers (acquired through rigorous penances) to pronounce curses on erring people! My question is, was there any instance of an ascetic begetting a curse, because he cursed somebody wrongfully?  Abuse of power, warrants a punishment too, isn't it?🤣😜😜😜😜 ( yes or no…..why?)

33)Why did ancients make a very-conspicuous absence of psychiatry( modern format of psychology, I mean) for “living” humans, when…..they evolved a WHOLE-SCIENCE to counsel the bodyless-minds, stuck in the “past”? BhootAatma refers to a soul stuck into the past. Several complex rituals are available, to evidence their-expertise i reaching+counseling them. 

34) why are we not able to use certain life-specific concepts without needing to consciously invoke them mentally, when it is needed urgently+crucially?  ( the “gravity” concept, for instance, is into our muscle memory. A good motorist pushes the brake-pedal instinctively, while sighting an obstacle, not needing a mind's-effort to tell himself, “hey! Apply brakes”) ROM-and RAM concept.  We use softwares specific to the file-formats, without “invoking” them. Why not certain concepts we learnt?

35) why aren't we able to use the tools to evaluate the analytical-skills of others?( HR  guys, engaged into recruitment will appreciate this “silly” question better 🙏)

( might be continued.... my silliness, being perpetual 😜)

just silly, yours,

36)when all our “modern” and scientifically-advanced gadgets are essentially time-saving-devices, why is it that we find ourselves in a “no time for anything “ situation, compared to our great-grandpas of 200 years ago?
