Then what happened?

 Then what happened?

Bedtime stories, my dad is compelled to tell us. Despite: he works hard, and we 3 kids, hardly, every day😜🙏🙏🙏

Obviously, his focus is lesser than ours. We used a “standard operating procedure”( SOP) to alert him, when he blabbers, under the influence of sleep. Some days, we miss the story, despite our repetition of the SOP “then what happened?”. Some days, his response is like a spy-soldier tortured by other side, disallowed to sleep and blabbers the secrets😜. A sample by my dad…

“Then what happened?”

Dad, half asleep “Rama filed an FIR in the police station”( sita abducted by Ravana in the story of Ramayana).

I got enriched by the traditional stories 🙏 ( but the ‘process’ was painstaking😭, like the enrichment of Uranium for a nuclear power plant 😓. Took decades!

One such story🙏

( I'll try to be brief 👍)

A literary giant defeated all his competitors in a kingdom he visited. King got furious. He ordered a ‘head’ hunt ( like hirers in HR team of global corporate today 🙏). The clever minister hired an utterly dumb illiterate to debate with the menacing giant.

That guy was bold👍. Ready for a few gold coins ( like hired goons of Mumbai “Bhai” for khokha … 1 khokha is a crore of ₹ today)

Minister dressed up that guy well( to look like a genuine scholar).

That guy, couldn't part with his footwear, since it was soaked in pure coconut oil😓 ( for decades this guy operates a manual oil crusher with oxen pulling the heavy round stone in a circular cavity filled with dry coconut.). He wrapped the old footwear and tucked it under his armpit, matching to the battlefield of debate ( king's court)

Minister to the giant : “try your weaponry of scholarly skills with him now👍. But only with gestures! My guru( that guy) doesn't need spoken form of words. You may concede defeat, if you ain't no_good at gestured_debate!”

Giant, hurt by the taunt and angered growled “i am ready!!!”

In those days, ‘leakage of NEET question paper wasn't an “issue” 😜.   The syllabus was too vast😭. Scruptures🙏. The concept of questions mimicked like today's GRE/TOEFL eggjam ( live, online  and 24/7….leakproof 😜)

Debate:

Guy : shows 1 finger ( i will beat you!)

Scholar ( misconstrued it : Gawd is one) and gestured 2 fingers ( meaning: nope! It can be 2— prakruthi and Purusha)

Guy : (misconstrued it : (“ then i will thrash you thrice 😞”) and gestured 3 fingers ( meaning “i will beat you thrice”)

Scholar misconstrued it ( Gods are 3 then, triMurti) and gestured 4 fingers ( meaning “ vedas are 4, and they say Gawds are many 😜”)

Guy misconstrued it as “rascal, i will deliver 4 blows on you then, and retorted showing a fist.

Scholar misconstrued it as “unless the 5 elements in nature are mastered it's useless to talk” and gestured”how” ( meaning”how are you so sure?”)

Guy, again misconstrued it as”with what weapons are you gonna hurt me, eh???” And the guy gestured to point at the wrapped pack of footwear under his arm ( meaning… “i am gonna spank you with this seasoned+ hardened chappal and you will know how badly it can hurt” 😡😡😡)

Now the scholar conceded defeat , misconstruing the gesture as “the entire essence of all the shastras, scriptures, i carry with me 24/7 👍, and am well_read”)....

Story over.

My take after i am an adult : “levels of perception MATTERS! 😭😭😭 booooo! 😭🙏🙏🙏. I git(got) it”

Am I worth wasting other's time?

 Am I worth wasting other's time?

My latest personal anxiety 🙏

I rarely ‘ask’ some stranger to read my blog. Their time is more precious than this : “this moment in the entire history of eternity has never happened earlier and shall never happen again”  ( that ‘stranger’s time’ is miniscule 100 years compared to the lifetime of universe. )

I received a young lady yesterday afternoon. She seemed to be quite impressed by my ‘oddities’ 😂

When I hinted that my blogs are my thoughts, available even after I am gone👍, she asked for the weblink. ( Today, A.I. can easily search for it, but we need to know “how to ASK?” … 🙏😥)

that reminded me of my school teachers, and college professors 🙏.  Good + genuine teachers use an infallible yardstick to assess the ‘bright’ kids among their students.  A  yardstick difficult to use! 😥.   Verniers caliper & screw gauge kind of yardstick aren't a ‘natural’ choice of dumb ones like me 🙏. Komplicated😜…

Teachers ‘look’ for high_quality questions from possible bright kids 😜

I got the clue !!!

I asked too many irritating questions in my blog “silly questions”. When the sheer number became psychologically unwieldy, I just used a modified name “silly doubts” and my questions continue 😓

I can provide a (yard)Stick to my reader to beat me, thrash me, punish me, for ‘asking' 😜. Provide a stick myself, to get beaten👍. If  a reader is still insistant, its his choice to use+throw my other blogs 🙏

So I wrote later, to that Madam:

Blogs that might make it easy to decide....

Genuine teachers "look" at the quality of questions to assess the worth of students ( to spend their precious energies 🙏.  Time tested tool)

https://selfseekers.blogspot.com/2024/09/silly-questions.html?m=0

Continued using a different header..... ( 😜   Psychological fatigue due to a lengthy blog)

https://selfseekers.blogspot.com/2025/06/silly-doubts.html?m=0

Having hit upon an idea, it is my duty to offer it to other strangers. I ain't selling any commodity for commercial greed 🙏. ( I owe my gratitude to the ‘chief designer’ of my soft+hard-ware, my human frame.)

Unwittingly a Guru

 Unwittingly a Guru

🤣

Yes, I ended up into one, when “stupidity” was at its peak in my life.

The hidden potential, if it is of spiritual significance, an illiterate fellow becomes a “maha Kavi Kalidasa” 😜.

1975, I was a junior to a very lovable colleague by a year, when the recruitment “policy” blessed him🙏. He was from an impoverished family, and belonged to the caste eligible for reservation 🙏. I came to know of this background too late, when caste_politics entered our staff, 3 years after I joined. Till then, he was “just” a colleague seated next to me, doing well, the same stupid work of maths_addition( we don't ‘need’ to use the functional form of subtraction 😜. Very few ‘noticed' it). 

I found him “compatible” with my perspective of “duty”. The “base” for taking our mutual bonds further, seemed adequate.  

Over an year, I found him ‘liking’, admiring, and even feebly attempting to imbibe my perspective 😥😳😳😳🤔🤔🤔🤔 ( sequence of icons are real 🙏).

I was STUPIFIED when I saw his “rate” of digesting my “way of looking at things/peepals(people)”, and easily getting adapted to using those concepts 😓

I started ‘experimenting’ with sharing of deeper_perspectives, in its conceptual form 🙏. ( The apt word is Nazariya! Perception).

I didn't ‘realise’ at all, that my efforts constituted communication of a precious skill (only recently I managed to verbalise it) called “How to learn”.  He simply swallowed that bitterest pill, like a terminally ill patient desperately trusting an ‘available' doctor and gulping an ADT-mixture tasting bitter 😜. ( ADT is a slang of my kid age AnyDamnThing… a GP used to give it for any damn thing that caused a fever. It worked 👍🙏).

What I ‘thought' was, he accepted to imbibe my_way_of_ perceiving things. ( practically, it was a learning skill 😜).

Obviously, it took 2 years🙏( both, the teacher & the taught were idiots 😜). Ideally a Guru might_have_needed only 2 weeks for a pre_fabricated student 🙏. 

Well, he got transferred to his parents place of residence. His Economy improved instantly ( one kitchen). He decided to invest in literacy(+2, B.A. and then LLB, if I remember right). The 3 years with me was below ground level (basement) of his evolution process, inconspicuous. Superstructure became superfast👍. His honesty and integrity was insulated by the ‘law’ which protected harassment against the reserved class. He retired as an AGM, deserving it by_merit, though the guys who conferred it used the process to substantiate it as compliance of quota_rule. Evidence of this, I found in his “sharing” with me,  after our_retirement (we met only once🙏) ….. when he conveyed his gratitude 😜 saying “yaar, I did get a chance to inspire others, with what you gifted to me🙏. I got posted as a principal of a staff training College, from where I retired 👍. I poured out your concepts of nazariya, with supporting evidence of my life, as a promotee. Next time you visit my city, remember to inform only_me of our visit🙏. I have debts to repay, via mehmanNawazee, to a possible extent”. He didn't get a chance to host me. His time got over very soon after our ‘review’ meeting of 2 hours🙏. He is no more 🙏😓.

He doesn't ‘know'....  I am far more indebted to him. It takes a lot to become a guinea pig for the scientist experimenting on a live organism 😭🙏🙏🙏. Just my luck, that the damn thing worked 👍

Uselessly yours,

psn(12 SEP 2026)

Postscript-punch

Like-it-or-not…

A kid born to me is a guinea pig, granted by nature, and is in CONFORMITY with existing social+ legal laws👍. We call the experimentation as ‘parenting’ 😜

Deep relationships

 Deep relationships

If I have the best reason ( among several ones) to feel gratitude towards my creator for the sensitivity of deep emotions granted to me ignoring all the ‘eligibility’ criteria, it is because of a few rare people I came across in my life, right from my kid age. Their depth of emotional love was to remain unfathomable, despite my above average sensitivity 🙏🙏🙏😭

A garden labour was living on day to day wages. No wages on a day, no food for his family. He did some magic, and the gasping of my sister, younger to me, became normal in 30 seconds 😜( he knew tantra and witchcraft as a qualified “odiyan” in Kerala. I ran to a petty shop, bought a pack of beedi(native cigar) for 3 paise, gave it him saying “please teach me 🙏”. He looked into my eyes( a kid of 6 or 7) and his eyes a bit moist. He held both my palms in his, eyes locked in mine( perfect connectivity 🙏) and said “child, you belong to a family where you are destined to learn chants of highest quality. My chanting syllables are too insignificant compared to those” .  Only the ‘video’ got stored in my memory then. Deciphering needed 30 years 😜 

A ‘fakir’ sensed me through my eyes, took my hand, led me out of the grocery shop where he sighted me while begging for few coins from the shop owner, and gently passed his palm down my spine. The “rare” feel of his touch down my spine, at 7 yrs helped me to remember him and much later I discovered that it's a ‘process’ done by highly evolved spiritual Masters 😳. ( A Guru, masquerading like a medicant 😥, to avoid notice by aam Aadmi 🙏)

A rickshaw puller ( 3 wheeled, during 1962) was struggling to push it upwards on a steep road, with some 6 kids retuning home from school. Heavy load. He was dripping sweat. Pedalling was not possible. I hid behind the rear, and for fun tried a hard push, inclining my body at 40° angle😂, to use my weight also👍. Luckily for me, my efforts got ‘felt' by his arms 😜. Reaching the level road, he paused to walk behind the rickshaw( me staring at him anxiouly eyed “will he scold now?😳” ). But he sat down to match my height, took my tiny palms( his palms felt like an abrasive to me😜.. labour-hands), and touched both his eyes with my inner palms, and planted a kiss into them before dropping it free🤣. Unusual ‘gestures’ from unlikely sources get engraved in my memory 😥

A good number of “angel like” guys sprung out of ‘noWhere’ like this, and gifted me with “reasons” to persuade me to deepen my sensitivity enough to “receive+ feel” such deep emotions 🙏 

If I ‘indulge’ into continuing my experience beyond the age of 10, there is a risk of extending the length of this blog beyond normal levels of patience to read.

But one incident when I was around 13 is affordable 🙏.  A village musician of 50 plus, decided to ‘repay’ the debt of my grandfather's kindness when he was a lad of 10, and his dad was the ill_paid musician of village (2 rupees for a 2 hour music at any religious function at large homes). 

He had “warned” my dad 3 days earlier “doesn't matter that you have no budget for the thread ceremony of your son to engage me “officially “ to play sacred music. But I will_come, perform my_best and sit in the row for food👍. Stop me if you can. I owe it to your dad😔”

He did come, and performed for an hour to adorn the muhurtham 🙏. My dad decided to thrust a ₹5 note into his hands clandestinely ( regular fee for 3 musicians was ₹ 50 then, and unaffordable within the ‘budget’). Too many guests around 😓. My dad beckoned me and said “you prostrate before him, then handover the money folded in a pair of betel leaves, plus a coconut”( coconut was in plenty in the backyard trees 🤣).

That musician had no reason at all to “expect” a freshly_initiated kid, attired for the sacred rituals meant for a higher “class” to prostrate before a non_threaded elder( against the ‘norms’). I did what I was told and then stood up.  He delayed receiving the betel leaves ‘package' to place his palms on the top of my head to transmit his emotions enriched blessings 🤣. I stared at the ‘belated’ gesture of touching my head 😂( the touch should sync with my touch of his toes👍. Circuit gets closed 🙏). Therefore i saw the glistening tears in his pair of eyes, which couldn't get blocked from flowing down his cheeks 🙂 ( the ‘touch’ on my head, felt unique 😜. That ‘feel’ helped me to get EDUCATED into the ‘concept’ that …. when the bhava( emotions) peak, absence of stature, chants, and circuit closure etc do_not_matter at all 😜🙏)

😜. None of the guys cited in the above incidents are in any way blood_related to me ( bloody_ strange ain't it !!! 😜🙏)

Tragedy is “emotions are unavailable to logic”...  Present day school syllabus is designed to impart only literacy, not education 😓. And literacy needs only logic👍. Probably why A.I. robots are doing better in school classrooms even during trial sessions 😜🙏.  

Emotionally yours,

psn(11 Sept, 2026)

PostScript 

My guess: Humans have the potential to sensitize their offsprings to be able to become receptive to deep emotions emanating from all the life_forms. Somehow, if this aspect can creep into "parenting", we can retain the label "humans" unto ourselves 🙏

Addressing the Root of the problem

 Addressing the Root of the problem 

Nothing new in it 🙏

Just that, we need to keep this concept in our ‘cache memory’( or our Random Access Memory…. Whatever 😥).

Symptomatic relief doesn't last ( Ayurveda owes it lack of deserved popularity, only in the recent most few centuries, because we got addicted to symptomatic relief_seeking bijness 😭)

Drinking liquor is a temporary relief, to our minds problems 🙏

Getting to the very_roots is a fascinating bijness, once the concept sinks in…..enough 🙏👍

Exampulls:

1). Health factors in coconut oil is the “root” ( solution:  spread disinformation of health hazards, bribing heart specialist, simultaneously offer “palm oil” as a healthy alternative, engaging and bribing famous guys in nutrition field)

2) Irreligious nature of Hinduism is the ‘root cause’ of its sustenance even without a boss, strict rules enforced etc.( solution: highlight the hidden strengths after coating it with description of instant_appeal of falsehood, using apparent defects of lack of a boss, lack of cohesiveness/consistency in rituals, tradition and scriptures, cleverly sugar_coating it at random with ornamental words which are inconsequential.  The root cause is a deep understanding of the word “yoga” . Misinform it as “acrobatics” for only physical health 😜

3) The root cause of Bharat being a sustainable growth economy is its ancient education system, which even_obviated literary 😭. Solution: replace it with parroting literacy, hand over a paper degree authenticating it as “ultimate in Education ( not literacy). The British did just this👍. And we turned into dumb fools in a 100 years.

4) The root cause of cost effectiveness in Bharat's productivity is widespread mutual trust. Solution: bring in “dependence” on paperwork, litigation, confusing enactments and they get ‘perpetually’ enmeshed in it. Unexpected by_product of destroying mutual trust is = joint family system got extinct 😂.  ( Inclination to respond to latent trust surfaced at the workplace as ‘team spirit’. Create disparity, forsaking ”merit”. Brain drain is guaranteed 👍

5) Endless list of irrefutable facts like this 🙏

I am responsible, at least for myself 🙏. I look at my latent response_abilities 🙏. I ‘hunt’ for traditional tool_sets, to firstly address my_own_root_problems 🙏.  This ‘resolve’ helped me from the diversionary tactics I see manifesting around me in the cascading_collapse of ‘basic life values’ which was the pride of Bharat for millennia🙏.  Address the root👍. Solution: seek to experience the very_root of (my) existence 🙏. Spirit…   tool=spirituality 😜

I tried my “humble” best, in my solitary question on the extinct_forum ‘Yahoo Answers’ “Why do Indians flourish despite all the problems of today?”( The exact text is a bit long). I bettered myself in a intangible+ non-materialistic arena, and hence escaped notice of the possible trouble_makers 😜

What I experienced+ learnt, is unfortunately lacking in its surface appeal for the minds stuck at symptomatic approach to “life” itself, in all its dimensions 🙏. ( Otherwise, my 1000+ blogs wouldn't have let me sleep peacefully in isolation and solitude 😜. Readers are satisfied with entertainment value, at the most 👍).

Rootedly yours,

psn(10 SEP 2026)

A teaser: Concept based lifestyle is a solution to the regeneration+revival of fast diminishing common sense 😜 ( Are we not at “our wit’s end, at the threat posed by fast_evolving A.I. ???😂) . Its a personal choice 🙏

Can an idol talk?

 Can an idol talk?

“How's life?” ( Jocular reply: “Depends on the liver”)

Can an idol ( deity) talk?

Depends on the listener 👍🙏

Damn simple! ( A non believer or an atheist doesn't need to struggle to gather a ‘vote bank’ majority in their favour 😂. Problem is only for the rarest_of rare guys who tell themselves silently within “ Maybe 😥… Lemme see “ 😜)

A very close friend tried to surprise me saying “Godji talks to me 🙏” I surprised him, saying “it's quite scientific 👍”  That guy can say to me “Busy yaar right now. ‘ll talk to you later” but won't say that to his_God, when that God chooses to ‘talk’ 😜. He has all  the time, and always 🤣. ( Very sensible thing🙏. I ain't no Gawd, nor intelligent like Gawd. Not worth spending time listening to me always)

Coming to the controversial title ‘can Gawd talk’.....

Then, …..  how_the_HELL did so many swayambhoooo’s spring up to become famous and have stood the “test of time”??? 😡😡😡😡😡.   Somebody did hear those damn stones speaking, isn't it?🤔( 😜Swambhoos are usually stones, that's why I said ‘stone-idol’ & shapes aren't chiselled flawlessly to shape them to look beautiful, like deliberately consecrated stone idols).

Dogs hear better than us ain't it? ( A dog woke up startled, and the cat reassured “aah! Don't bother… its just the noise of a hair that fell down from that rat on the ceiling’s beam.”...  Cats can see better). Basically, our assertive negations of subtle energies are owing to our limited senses of perception. 5 sensory levels of perception, are with input devices of very limited sensitivity.

Okay, if at all Gods do talk….. which language do they use? English? Or the_most widely spoken Mandarin? 🤣. 

Energy, isn't it?. 

Our receptivity is relative to our energy level? Yes or no? Zero energy, we become unconscious isn't it?

Abnormal kinds of energy? X-ray passes through certain materials to tell us if there is a bone that opaques it, isn't it. A crack in the bone lets a bit of ray to blacken the film 😂. Are we “equipped” adequately to become sensitized enough to ‘feel’ and receive the energy radiated from a consecrated or naturally formed stone??? 

“Talking” is the problematic word.  A monitor talking from the in_built speaker in the display device is “believable” 🙏👍. But not the human body, which is the inimitably far_more_sophisticated nature-given device😭.  That gadget, we know how it translates energy conveyed in off/on flow/binary code, uses an interface of machine language/low level, interface of data operating system ( high level) and then a few softwares used by the processor chip ( etc) & finally the thin sensitive diaphragm of speaker device manipulating the vibes to make it perceivable by human ears, called sound… and we ‘now’ believe that this stupid device can “talk”.

Our level of science is inadequate for us to grasp,........ that  the energy from a stone, perceived by a ‘freak’ human body which has in-built mechanism to play the role of interface and translate it to that guy, using the stored language of that guy😜. It “suits” us to dismiss the claim of that poor fellow who says “gawd spoke to me” 😭

Ants can listen to the forewarning from an incoming storm hours ahead and escape it carrying their stock of food to a higher place safe. Our computers predicting weather, using satellite data aren't good enough like those ants😜. A stubborn mind refuses what it cannot sense/perceive. A sensitive guy can “sense” the depletion of energy in an idol, and can even suggest a “kumbhabhishekam”( a scientific technology to recharge the battery of the idol_deity 😜. Either he himself or a specialist in consecration technology can now proceed to enliven the idol afresh. Usually, it's a 12 year span for reviving the energy. A swayambhoo like a natural magnet doesn't need a periodical kumbabhishek ! ).

For the time being, this much of tickling is enough 🙏 

Idyllically yours,

psn( 10 SEP 2026)

Ignorance alike, in qualified and unqualified

 Ignorance alike, in qualified and unqualified 

A joke 🙏

If I can be allowed to trust my father, this joke is a true incident around 1936 to 1940 (temple entry proclamation by a ruler in Kerala,... Google search can give details).

At a temple near our ancestral village house, a crowd gathered to enter the temple for the first time in their life 🙏 (a very progressive development, undoubtedly 👍)

One fellow, young and strong, stormed into the temple and headed straight towards the tiny sanctum sanctorum (garbhagruha), to ‘see’ what it looks_like😂.

He saw a tiny room, zero ventilation or light. A small lamp in front of the idol of the deity 👍.  ( Even today, most temples do not have electric lighting in the garbhagruha 🙏. There are highly sophisticated spiritual reasons for that, scientifically also, but not relevant here ).

Suddenly he saw a hand ( just the forearm & its palm) appearing before the deity and doing some strange gestures😳. It repeated in quick succession! He got scared, and ran out….because he construed it to be some magic/witchcraft “happening” inside without any human presence 😳. That was ‘his inferrence’ of what he ‘saw’. He reported it to the crowd eagerly waiting to ‘know' how a temple looks like inside it.

( Tantrik rituals involve a lot many gestures, and an onlooker familiar with it knows that ‘it looks like this’...  Even he doesn't know the “why” of it.).

Whereas, while using a mobile handset, we don't try to “gain” entry of standing right_under a mobile Tower 🙏. All we “look” for is the icon on the handset which displays the level of connectivity 🙏.  If its a very old and basic handset, it can “sense” a tower only within a shorter radius compared to a “costly” latest smartphone which can sense even in a closed room far away from the tower_location.  

Only when it comes to “making USE of a temple” the present day minds depend too heavily on beliefs( a belief is anyway only_blind😜). Even the priest today, would hesitate to openly admit the absence of any subtle experience of the consecrated energy from that deity/idol .

Now that the temple entry is quite unrestricted, the ‘next’ right to be demanded is to officiate as a priest. Absolutely valid to demand, when the traditional guy is alike, as far as absence of experience is concerned 😜.

There have always been a few people during the entire history till today ( and will be there in future too) who have the receptivity to “sense” any consecrated place, thing or even a living human who radiates that sacred energy/vibes/whatever 🙏. For very valid reasons these few will not speak, simply because, known tools of communication available today are inadequate for conveying their experience 🙏

( I too, out of genuine curiosity and wonder, traveled a lot for few years until 1983, to find out the subtle worth of ancient temples. My reach was only within 2 large states of MP and MH. Desolate and dilapidated temples in ruins, plundered by moghul invaders, suited me the_most, for its quietude and isolation 🙏. I can focus better + longer , within me😜. Because if something has to make even the slightest flutter, its experience can only be ‘inside’ me 😜. My experience is just mine. It can only be of a ‘story' value to a reader here🙏😔)

Vibrantly yours,

psn(8 SEP 2026)

Emotional pragmatism

 Emotional pragmatism 

For a bench mark of excellence in emotional pragmatism, I can think of 2 great beings.

Krish , dealing with Arjuna in the epic story of Mahabharat, with his advice in Gita( Gitopadesh)

Jesus : He did a greater level of setting a benchmark in his own crucifixion and the famous pardoning words “they know not…” 🙏

Logical pragmatism is more conspicuous in its absence in digital technology 😜. The ‘rate’ of bugs is disproportionate to the evolution of technology itself in growth 😭🙏🙏🙏

Medicos ‘need’ logical pragmatism very routinely, when they decide on anesthesia, and its level of local-or-general.

Negative emotions obstructing logical pragmatism is in a situation like( easy example), when a mom shrieks to a small kid when she suddenly notices the kid on a precarious tall branch of a tree and shouts “Don't fall 😥 😱” ( the kid WONDERS ….  “How? Not-to-fall?” And loses focus on own safety 🙏.  A pragmatic dialogue would be “hold firmly to the branch 👍”( easy logic).

Spiritual pragmatism is not going to be easy to even ‘discuss’ 😥…   Most of the enlightened guys face uncertainty of their communicative skills in deploying their spiritual pragmatism while thinking of being useful to others ( But for Swami Vivekanand, we would have missed Shri Ramakrishna paramahamsa).  I faced the ‘problem' while yielding to my urge to ‘do my very best’ to innocent freshers who used to visit a designated place where I was volunteering for backup support of spiritual practices 🙏. All they( visitors) need to do is to voice their innermost emotional conflicts which  hinders their subtle practices like meditation 😓. I need spiritual pragmatism in a customized way of suggesting ‘how to deal ‘ 😥🙏….   

Emotional pragmatism is needed in every non_commercial relationship 🙏.  Equipoise of own emotions is indispensable, in my experience.  

Negativity blocks all kinds of pragmatic approaches 🤣.

The distinction between vaideekam and loukeekam defined by ancient Rishis is a huge evidence of their mastery of pragmatism of all kinds 🙏( something that a fellow like can only envy😜).

Pragmatically yours,

psn(8 SEP 2026)

Identifying the potential

 Identifying the potential

This itself needs a unique set of skills, if the purpose of identification of a potential is for infusing some kind of skills/skill_sets.

Spiritual tools are not a must for attainment. Just that, it takes a lot of luck (nature is the sole umpire to decide upon the ‘time' to grant that luck).

Human birth itself was scientifically understood as a huge piece of reward (fortune, fortunate,  and the eligibility is also ‘fortunately’ 🙏), when the ‘element’ of choice_making, fueled by the sense of Discrimination being deployed at it peak levels of utility, by the mathematicians of Highest order in ancient Bharat, popular by the common noun of “Rishis” 🙏.    The ‘base’  for our understanding of its scientific validity is available in a documented form “The Objectivist Epistemology” by Ayn Rand, who accepts the helplessness of requesting a trust, for the acceptance of the axiom “existence exists” and also provides a scientific logic for defining a human as “a being of volitional consciousness” 🙏.

Therefore, its a choice “not to wait for an accidental enlightenment”.

Next choice as a consequence is “not to reinvent the wheel” 😜

The intensity of these choices, happens to generate a set of vibes. The Masters who knew that they are capable of imparting the skill_sets, slogged to branch out & expand their own antenna to sense these vibes 🙏. Thereafter, ‘faking’ a collision into the potential disciple was just_fun😜…  ( I am a living experience of numerous guys bumping into me🙏.  Whether I manage to make use of these collisions is dependent on my own use, misuse, abuse, or disuse of my own sense of Discrimination, and the choices consequential thereof 🙏😭)

At materialistic level, 

today, even AI can identify the potential 🙏.  But I am apprehensive about the potential in an A.I. to evolve at identifying the ‘flexibility’ of the mind of a potential candidate 😜. My reasons are realistic. Can an A.I. understand and identify emotions? Not the manifested symptoms of emotions 🙏. The potential for deepest levels of emotional sensitivity?  I don't rule out the possibility entirely. Quantum physics is gaining intellectual_attention from a few silenced minds 😜

The shaming prefix “cunning” of the fox got obliterated when humans became experts in accelerating the attrition rate in the honest IT companies. Super cunning, who spent abnormal amount of money, quality time of ‘brains’ in HR, to identify potential guys to recruit. The lion's share was also stolen by cunning foxes of small IT companies, offering lollipops ( from money saved in treasure_hunt😜).

In spiritual bijness, cunningness ricochets on the ‘fox’ himself. Karmaphaladata is bug_free ab_initio👍🙏

Potentially yours,

Why Bad guys are Okay in Bharat?

 Why Bad guys are Okay in Bharat?

😂

Bharat seems to most tolerant with negative guys 🤣 ( a jocular guess : Bad guys in phoren might have wished “Gawd, let me be reborn in India. Easier to get away doing any crime”.  A ‘plausible’ reason why we are outnumbered by back_stabbers, scam_netas, tax evaders, corrupt guys etc,  in India 😜)

Right from my kid age, I have been hearing people around me wondering “ why do ‘bad’ guys seem to get away with it?

Just look at this quote:

Sanskrit:
जानामि धर्मं न च मे प्रवृत्तिः।
जानाम्यधर्मं न च मे निवृत्तिः॥

Translation: "I know what is right (धर्म), but my mind is not inclined to follow it. I know what is wrong (अधर्म), but I cannot hold myself back from it."

UnQuote 

If this quote doesn't try to give any ‘hint’, look at the epic stories. Bulk of “villains” who needed ‘avatar’( incarnation) of Super heroes ( Godly divine beings) to eliminate them! Yet, all the Raakshasa invariably attained Moksha 😜👍. Not a ‘roasting’ in hell! ( I even tried a ‘silly’ question in my blog on a collection of such questions 🙏😭).

Is not Duryodhana “aware” of his karma? Was he dissolving his past ‘desire’ by doing it+satiating his desire? Even Bhishma taking sides with villains, dissolving his earned_curse?? The numerous theories afloat around the meaning and definition of Karma presents conflicting confusion, despite a ‘clear’ message in Gita related to action_reaction phenomenon 🙏. 

Today's scenario:

A chaos in Bharat, if we observe the peaceful co-existence of wrong_doers and ethical ones right under one roof, and extending upto the most powerful places of politics incrementally in magnitude and intensity 🤣. ( The only non-controversial result of this chaos is “Tolerance level of Indians is miraculously high”😓). We don't even know why we are so_tolerant 🤔. We cook up our own excuses for tolerating the wrongs we see around us🙏. We don't have any patience or quality mind_time to inquire into a rare few guys who remain “untouched” by the corruption of all kinds around, like the symbol of Hinduism, a Lotus 🪷…. They bloom better with more slush!!!

My own personal observation, during my spiritual journey thus far, seems to suggest something about guys today,  like Duryodhana of the epic example 🙏. Even I am not fully convinced in my own observation 🙏. Just a wild guess 🤣. Whether my guess is right or wrong, it gives me a little breathing space between the conflicting confusion 👍.  

One theory of cause of rebirth is our past unfulfilled desire ( also included in the meanings of Karma 🤣).  Now, this desire has to be dissolved 😳. It seems, there are options for dissolution of this desire. Easier way is to ‘live’ it. Tougher way is to experience it deep_enough, as a perfect substitute for practical living through it 🙏 (there are highly sophisticated spiritual tools for the second option 🙏. Time tested and very ancient. One feels inclined to agree)

If this interpretation of karma is valid, an edifice is possible on it. Go through it like Duryodhana did, in full awareness that he is doing something very_wrong, and taking care, not to accumulate any More karmic_desire out of it 🤣. Just like a good actor doing a villain’s role so well that he gets a “best actor” award for it😜. In real life, a real villain gets a “release” from his own past karma( a desire to do a negative action) and manages a dissolution of that desire/karma and thereby a release/moksha👍. ( My guess has too many loose_ends🙏😭. Like, “what about the victims of this real_drama guy, who gets his dissolution okay, but causes a suffering/injustice to many others around????😳).

I leave it to my readers to find out.

Ambiguously yours,
