Reverence

 Reverence

The best available term in English for the deep concept in Sanskrit called "shraddha". 

This shraddha is assuredly an infallible tool to acquire wisdom represented by yet another deep concept called "Gyan" in Sanskrit.

I used to ask youngsters who spent "quality time" in the western countries. ( the reach itself needs these kids to be "creamy layer" among students. I ask them " can you name one very_fundamental difference between the two cultures…..East & West…?"( Bharat and developed European countries, USA etc?). All other aspects are incidental to this single aspect.

Then, I volunteer my own view, leaving it to them to argue or learn from it😂

BHARAT is fundamentally "reverence culture" West is freedom culture.

Once freedom is your priority, the clamour for independence is inevitable. Once independence is a priority, fighting for rights is obvious.

Even today, the residue of "reverence" is available as streaks of light, when we look at the tendency of average Indians, not trying to fight "adequately" for their rights 😜

I cannot use a better example than the docunted one in Gita, to stress upon the depth of the word "reverence".

From the story, we have a reason to believe that Arjuna was above average as a good student/disciple/etc. He alone passed the "focus test" conducted by Drona ( an acharya…mind you😜🙏…not a Guru, in the technical sense😰)... Difficult to find a learner like Arjuna.

Even he…. Arjuna, needed to cross over 11 chapters of Gita, to feel the reverence towards Krish, to be able to call him "Bhagawan" 😜😂😂😂

If that is reverence of Arjuna's level, where do we stand? 😭🙏🙏🙏

Anyway, those who read this upto here, cannot say " I didn't know"...

It's a choice, whether they wish to remain stuck to freedom or to evolve into the potential of experiencing reverence. ( Sadly enough, for a "Sanatani" , practice of reverence is indispensable)

Reverentially yours,

Subtlities

 Subtlities

नज़ाख़तें

Quite a subtle concept, apart from being abstract….the concept of subtlety.

Very few try bother about finding out the distinction between similar looking words.

My cousin is one of them. ( at least, he was……if, the age hasn't forced or squeezed_out the curiosity about such subtle aspects).

Probably, he decided it was safe to ask a fellow like me about distinction between achievement & accomplishment ( of course, there was some kind of debate at his workplace during their brief recess. And the decision remained inconclusive, due to the very nature of these two words, which overlap like conjoined twins😜)

I told him my views, and it looked like, he was convinced.

He might have even forgotten about it.

But me, the way I am…..I used to get bogged down by the confusion between two actions, in the arena of spirituality practices.

Already, spirituality is itself quite a fuzzy, abstract and subtle word well known for its evasiveness of grasp ( or was it "elusiveness"???😜😜)

And the, when we are supposed to be just trying to remain alert, eyes closed, we end us trying to watch our breath. These two are entirely different 🙏…. Being alert, doing nothing….and watching the-breath.

So, 

achievement versus accomplishment……😂

I managed to coin a sentence. Let's see how much I am correct about it.

The effort was to bring out the subtle difference 🙏

" We would have achieved nothing worthwhile, if we could not accomplish the subtle task of grasping the distinction between the two terms, achievement and accomplishment. Which of these qualifies better for success, is not fixed, because situations might differ. Whereas, we have people who are known for their achievements, and we have yet others, who are known as 'accomplished personalities' and they aren't quite the same"

Luckily, I ain't either of these, and therefore….have the luxury of observing the two, dispassionately.

Ordinarily yours,

Idiot

 Idiot

Recent _most occasion for me to be addressed thus, was just within the two days 😜

Quote

"🇮🇳 (Mr X, ) 🇮🇳 commented on your Koo

Ok, that proves it, you are an idiot. Gandhi was a British stooge, sent to Bharat to hijack independence and to destroy Sanatan Dharm. You missed the entire lesson taught by Krisha, one must fight for Dharm. You are truly stupid. I feel sorry for you and your family. Retired? So you are older... how sad that you gained no wisdom. There is still time. Meditate."

How do we handle such titles, when addressed to us ?

I didn't know, how to !

I noticed that I was the kid who was called most number of times by elders around me, till I reached the age of 22. 

Age wasn't the reason, for ceasing to call me so…. I became financially self dependent ( a job, and a salary 🙏😉). Pathetic reason to stop calling a close relative " you are an idiot"

Early kid age, there was a versatility in calling me using all available synonyms of "idiot"... ( the mix of Malayalam & Tamil provides a wide spectrum of such words, synonymous with "buddhoo")

I didn't know how to handle this attribute 😳

They wouldn't explain why ( I am an idiot).

I had to figure it out by myself 🙏… can a mentally ill patient figure it rby himself, once he has become a acute one? ( it is here, I got one small clue🙏…. That doctor tells his relatives, not the patient, that the patient is mad😜… no use telling the patient, because he won't agree😂

Whereas, an idiot has some chance….he isn't mentally ill. Just an inadequacy of common sense, that's all.

I started looking within. Not much help. I couldn't understand what was so_idiotic in me? 

Then, when left with no other option, I started looking at the people who called me an idiot often.. …. A pattern emerged😂.

Numerous reasons…..

1. they had the right to call me so, as elders (1955-60 era.. respect for elders was by default, irrespective of deserving it😉)

2. they didn't know any other way of reassuring themselves of their relevance 😜 ( most of them, miserably poor in academics, and unemployed)

3. my dad wasn't too protective for me, and being the eldest of eldest born, I was their earliest punching bag for practice, without any risk of retaliation 😂

4. A unanimity got forged amongst them, when they conversed about_me, and found that I was very uniformily asking all of them only stupid questions 🙏 ( like, " when we trust God to be omniscient, why do devotees shout_out their request at the temple, as if God ji has turned a little deaf, of late?... why do we have to ASK, instead of trusting God ji to know by himself?. ".... and " can we not reach God at the accident site itself for help? We can't reach temple, if disabled/injured. He is supposed to be everywhere.")

5. Etc

For sure, the majority rule didn't seem to work, ( majority opinion).

A few who didn't call me an idiot, were a little more patient that the others. 

Now, I improvised my data collection. I started looking for "what persuaded them to call me an idiot"😜…. Mostly, it was a convenient replacement for an embarrassing truth " I dont know " …

When I was thoroughly convinced about the reasons, using the scientific concept of "element of repititiousness, to theorise a postulate, to ensure a pattern", I reduced asking them irritating questions, and decided to seek answers by myself 🙏 ( today, I seek irritating questions, but from an eager –not egoistic— mind, keen to learn )

My next problem was a natural consequence 😂

How to handle appreciation?...

For me, this was a more vulnerable issue. I might grow horns 🤘😈. Then, I might stagnate 😭

Usually, the person who appreciates me, explains his perspective. And I get a chance to pass on the credits to due person, because of whom, I became a mere tool, and not the doer of that appreciable act, word, or thought. If I don't find a tenable reason either from the other, or by my own search, I simply disown it, just as I dismiss the title "idiot".😂… 

It is easier to locate the error in me, when I am called an idiot, than knowing the reason for a generous appreciation. Reason is simple. Idiot is a title, I can earn by myself, but appreciation is the combined efforts of many who toiled to evolve me🙏😰… 

When the appreciation or depreciation is about an abstract quality by nature, it is usually a perceptional ability or lack of it. Such perceptional ability or lack of it could be a common social problem. ( reasons are physiological. Thoughts, of the society as a whole, used to be non_commercial 5 centuries ago, compared to today. Almost all the thoughts can be traced to some kind of commercial value today. Such lopsided mind's can err in a collective pattern when it is about an attribute like intelligence/idiocy etc.)

Anyway, I have started enjoying, being called an idiot once in a way. I am by now, good at faster analysis and instant + dependable results, about the justification of my being called so 🙏

Appreciation for what I consider as my efforts, and accomplishments, comes only in a very mystic and shrouded manner, of late. And I am full of gratitude for that manner of acknowledgement 🙏. Commercial appreciation doesn't stir me 🙏.

Idiotically yours,

Relevance

 Relevance

The relevance of this word dawned on me when I saw people around me facing irrelevance 😜

A GM, a clerk, and a peon are at par, after retirement 😜 . The slang for describing them is "fused bulb" 🤣… the wattage is irrelevant, once a bulb is fused. So, the functional wattage decides it's relevance. If retired people are retained some wattage, their weightage is proportional to their relevance.

When a incorruptible, patriotic, hardworking, brilliant, neta like Modi became relevant by some divine interference, and ended up as a prime minister of Bharat, scam netas started facing irrelevance like never before in the past 70 years since independence. War against a neighbour became irrelevant, when this master_strategist rendered the terror exporter into a beggar, shattering them economically.

Enough of entertainment 🙏

I started looking at relevance, even as a kid 😰😳😳😳. My dad used to chant often " when elders are conversing, what have you_got_to_do here??" ( message was "get lost, you are irrelevant" . But I wasn't wise enough. I misinterpreted it as "chats of elders is not relevant to you"...

At school, the problem of "relevance" kept haunting me. When a teacher doesn't know the answer, their rebuke would be   "ask something that is_relevant to your exam…"( even the prescribed lessons get omitted from 'portions for exam')

Somewhere I turned nuts…..🙏😰😭

Not just any nut/s…. A proper CASHEW_nut…( it popped out of the fruit, due to impatience 😜)

I started looking at relevance of my birth itself, as a human being. The good thing about such idiotic_looking_questions is…..it brings alongside it, the wisdom also, enough to know, whom_not_to_ask….the relevance of being born as a human 😜. ( I wasn't familiar with the word "spirituality".... 

when elders ask me to "pray" before a deity, a fotu, an idol,      or     a temporary consecration like 'ganapathy bappa asked to occupy a pyramid of turmeric powder/idam haridra bhimbe aavaahaYaami…" …..etc …in such situations, I wonder 'am I relevant to this_Godji?'.... God's are selective as well 😭. Shiva certified Ravana as his best_disciple. Rama pampered Hanuman to even cause irritation to Sita 😜… )

What is then, relevant to me?

How am I going to be relevant to others?

( a diamond doesn't bother about irrelevance, lying covered in mud, with mud…for centuries, untill the keen eyes of a prospector, expert in recognising jewels casts his eyes upon it 😜)

Rishis, ….as I could observe ( though I never have "seen" one 😞), dealt with this problem of facing irrelevance, very conclusively!  

Even death was irrelevant to them 🙏😳😳😳

That….hit me like a thunderbolt 😶😳😳😳

No way to "ask" a Rishi…😜….no use asking non_rishis…( how to use the already_available sense_of_discrimination ……gained relevance 🙏… to empower me with a subtle tool, to fathom the secret about these rishis🙏… I know, at this point, most readers begin to lose relevance of this bla_bla , to them 🤣).

I could see that nothingness is the only way to dissolve the very issue of relevance 😜 ( I won't elaborate on this…. so that I don't become totally_irrelevant to readers ).

Reverentially relevant, 

yours for ever,

Retrospectively introspecting

 Retrospectively introspective

One of the few syndromes of old-age 😜

Brooding over the past.

Often, we ask ourselves " what if i were given a chance to take the clock back, re_do something in the past? Will I do it better?"

I too asked myself 🙏

I was very clear.

If i were given that chance, to do it again, with the mind i had then….i wouldn't be able to do it any better 😫 ( i usually do my very best. )

Whereas, if i carry the mind i have now, i will surely do every bit of my past many times better 😜….

As simple as that.

This personal experience gives me the freedom to think over my past, and engage into debugging, whenever I have leisure time to sit and think by myself.

It is this "process" of indulging into introspection retrospectively, which allowed me to verbalise something like……

" core education concept is all about….

Learning,

How to….

1)Learn ( the learning process peaks, thereafter 🙏)

2) stabilize emotions ( intellect peaks 😜…great discoveries happened when mind was still)

3) deepening of perception ( the best possible evolvement for a human birth form)

4)use of sense of discrimination ( the ultimate tool for spirituality 🙏)

And then i retrospected into far past…..gurukuls. 

The structure was pathetic 😭….just a hut in the desolate dense forest, with adverse survival means( vulnerability of wild animals injuring, is 24/7…. No sensible parent would send their kid to such a dangerous school 😜🙏)

Today's schools keep innovating gadgets and tools ( labs, library, digital technology…what not? )

Product that comes out both these schools, with diagonally opposite infrastructure?

7 to 16 age, gurukuls are churning out master brains, equal to some 40 PhDs, and importantly the learning curve improves exponentially to reach a Rishi level 🙏 ( all the ancient rishis of Bharat, were mathematicians of highest order, specialising into every known branch of science)

Today's kids….one PhD in one sub_menu of one subject, that kid is past 25 age, and usually stagnates by 30, in all other areas, except his PhD subject 😜… he needs "how to tutorials, for using a new gadget".

There was a sophisticated process of retrospectively introspecting….

It was a functional aspect of a spiritual concept called samyama ( nearest word is "synthesis").... this synthesis can be applied to our past( karma). If, this process is done dexterously, the past karma can be dissolved through 'virtual reality ' 😜… ( this paragraph might cause slight indigestion 🙏… but, let me state, for what ever I am worthy of, that i speak from experience 🙏, and purpose is, to reassure of the possibility as yours too! For you too👍

Retrospectively yours,

Learning skills

 Learning skills

Conceptually, teaching and learning skills are interspersed.

If it is really so, then it follows that the functionality of these two are both, complementary as well as supplementary to each other. Complementary in reaching peak levels of productivity, results. Supplementary, to deal with inadequacy in either of the two, teacher or student.

Usually, the type of present day students are broadly of 4 types

1). just curious to know, how much the teacher knows

2). willing to listen and enjoy as long as the student finds it acceptable

3). willing to even learn, only those things which the student finds it comfortable to learn, or…compromises if compelled to learn.

4). Here, the student surrenders to a teacher " do whatever is needed with me, but somehow make me learn🙏

We don't get to see the 4th type easily, or often.

3rd type depends inversely proportional to the comfort zone that the student can afford. ( example: a fellow going to live in a submarine will be constrained to learn if somebody can teach " how to breathe through skin" nose wasn't used during stay in water for 9 months in the womb. Duryodhana knew to stay underwater for long duration 😜… example 2: an illiterate mom wouldn't argue that she isn't literate when a doctor says " xscufs is the medicine, get it in 40 minutes if you want your child to live" she simply byhearts "xscufs" the way it sounds, and utters it at the medical shop. No time to write a prescription etc… example 3: question paper leaked at 10 hours to go for exam. A fellow desparate to just pass, struggles to get byheart and manages to write the answer, repeating the text words "for fig. 23, turn to page 147" )

1st and 2nd type of students, are dime a dozen 🙏….no example needed.

A student who happens to learn any or all of the following?

How to….. 1)learn, 2)deepen perception 3) stabilize emotions 4)use the already available item 'sense of discrimination'.....

He depends very less on the teaching skills of a teacher.

Suppose a teacher can teach even one_of_these_4 ….???( Oh! Great 👍)

Look at freaks, who are quick and early learners…( these four or any of them has_to_be_present)

Why would a student be interested in spirituality?

Skillfully yours,

Sanatha Dharma, concepts

 Virtualisation concept in #sanatana Dharma

This Dravidian athiests are now he'll bent upon eradicating "sanatana" itself…..😜

Not even "knowing" what they are up against? 

It's an eternal concept. 

Accurately इspeaking, they are out to eradicate NOTHINGNESS itself.

Shiva is the symbolism of "that which is not"

We Hindus call him MAHA_dev…( other Gods don't try to "mess" with him…. Scientifically, you mess with NOTHINGNESS, blackhole swallows you😂)

An exampull 🙏

Recently, when entire India was celebrating raksha Bandhan, we a few in tamilnadu ( we, who hail from a lineage of traditional beggars पारम्परिक भिखारी वंशज)

were busy renewing our janeu ( thread of janeudhàri pappu).

We are required to chant 2 names for 1008 times ( part 1…out of 6 parts)

I suddenly felt a flow of energy through my subtle energy channels ( they call it praan naadi…..some 72000 😜 with several "junctions" bla bla)..

I slowed down….the chant. Focused on the source of sound in me, consciously shifting it to the base of my stomach ( I knew how to handle it, once this thing reveals itself😂😜)

Yes! I am not into self_deception, hallucinations etc…. Theory of "element of repetitious_ness" was ensured to render it as a scientifically acceptable observation ( not that i am "seeking" any concurrence, but i wanted to be sure for my own sake)...

The two names….( kamokaarisheeth, manyurkaarisheeth)... 

I became curious to google.

Somebody explained, it was just "names" to represent kaarmic residues accumulated in us over past times, and to submit the karma to it, with the sole purpose of freedom from those karmic bonds( mukti in piece meal)

Fine!

It rhymes with several concepts…. atma by itself is pure, says Gita…bla bla 👍

Now what is this virtualisation of rishi_like thing?😳😳😳🙏🙏🙏

Awesome concept.

Computing technology is evolving into creating virtual servers in cloud technology, in order to take networking technology to a newer level 😳… beyond 5G, virtualisation is indispensable 🙏

Here, the ancient rishis have placed_in_orbit …..2 virtual servers ( kamokarisheeth & manyurkarishreth) who can be invoked consciously, during a particular phase of moon, every year… and we can transfer our karmic data to those "virtual servers".... 

I felt humbled…

Usually modern kids finish the chant under 20 minutes (1008). I needed 90 minutes, being stuck inextricably into the maze of vibes it created, crisscross in my neurology 😭

How do these jihadis/Dravidian parties/whatever, propose to eradicate something which is already "virtual"?

Darkness complained against light to Godji " he is chasing me out, wherever I go 🙏😭"……………to which. Light explained " my lord Godji….how can bi have any vengeance against somebody whom I have never seen bin my life?"

Dear Jihadi/ricebag….first find out the location of "nothingness"( it's not emptiness…. emptiness is space)... Then eradicate it… we can agree, you did eradicate sanathana dharma 🙏… Shiva is our boss👍

Anyway, yours

Death as a teacher

 My close kid_age friend had lost his wife about 2 weeks ago. Today i received a very personal message from him, describing his inner experience of these 2 weeks, culminating into something quite intense during the recent_most day.

I felt so overwhelmed by reading it, that i wrote something in a reply_response. 

Even my response is quite personal ( in nature) and hence I am sharing it without quoting his part of message.

"Awesome message ( सच कहो तो शब्द नहीं है मेरे पास, घिसे पिटे "awesome" जैसे के सिवाय 🙏!  It is a psychological problem yaar. The "feeling" is fresh, whereas the word used to describe it is worn out..... otherwise, the word is quite powerful enough 🙏)

I had a gush of thoughts, as i went through each of your sentences here.

My immediate response is.....you responded admirably well, to the process called "death", even as a witness 🙏. ( I say this with a responsibility......which cannot be *_expected of, from a normal average person of even PhD level_* ... Because, i did something which is done by very few. A powerful meditation, meant to give a very personal experience of death_itself....is underwent by me some 500+ times over 5 years plus( weekly twice). In combination with certain rigorous spiritual practices, which *_enhances our sensitivity_* to very subtle, imperceptible experiences, was also an accompanying factor 🙏.... I volunteered for some 5000 freshers, who were exclusively dedicated to evolve into spiritual path. These were just 10% of those who attended the programs.... खुद होकर, खुशी से, special class attend  करने वाले जैसा………their sincerity is almost ascertained जैसा!

It is with this background that I was reading what you wrote here.....

What surprises me is.....

i hesitated to write many of the thoughts that kept occuring to me for some 5 days after you broke the news of that pious lady( kalpanaजी, ). Pious is in a scientific sense, ..... meaning, a certain level  of reverence being shown towards a companion by a person. It enhances the emotional sensitivity to best possible levels in a human being 🙏.... Usually, adversities invoke such enhanced levels of sensitivity to subtle emotions  though ....it need_not_be so 🙏.... 

Yes, death is a release....( may not be liberation/mukti itself for all... Mukti is possible even when alive😜)

Life.....is better understood via death 

( this is evident from the way the ancients "treated" death through the rituals & traditions they instituted and assimilated into our way_of_life called Hinduism 🙏 ... This is my living experience when i witnessed death of my dad in 1983, and then my sister's in 2014. I could also clearly experience the enhanced level of sensitivity in the second one🙏...   Instead of sharing my experience, i could persuade an observation from an independent observer who was with me for 3 days after my sister's death. His observation was a sort of confirmation of my experience 😜.... He was a bit astounded by his own words, which came sporadically, and spontaneously 🤣😜😜🙏...

I have reasons to believe that Kalpana ji has given you a priceless parting gift, whose value is  bound to keep increasing till you time arrives 😂.... It is in the very_nature_of things....that such deep relationships ( rare+fortunate) never go without its rewards Gratitude swells in our hearts, only if+when we realise it's value🙏!

( I had the good fortune to discuss about our father's death, that process,.....with my sister quite often 🙂.  There was a unique advantage, in that.....i naturally stepped into my dad's shoes, after my dad departed, and i had the responsibility of my unmarried sister for the rest of her life. A few incidents associated with her death are a bit difficult to 'believe' for any  logical mind, but too many to be dismissed as coincidences 😜....... I am omitting mention of those.)

On the way to school, i pass by a church on "Chapel road" a slope.... And whether it is morning or evening....if there is "body" kept there for prayers.....i walk in , go as close as possible to that body, and stare at it silently, with a blank mind😂........in all ignorance+innocence. Little did i know, that i was inadvertently going through a powerful and ancient spiritual process of being at meditation , a process of  synthesis with a corpse at the funeral ground 🙏🙏🙏... I realised this only after learning about spiritual processes , past my middle age. 

As a very close kid_age friend ( the speciality is.....our bonds are forged during our innocence 😜........ Not quite easy to set_such lab_conditions), i am feeling gratitude to mother nature, when you consciously chose to share your very personal experiences thus 🙏,

 (Personal.....is different from words like "secret, private, confidential, etc")"

Recognition

 Recognition 

Ironically,

when it comes to human-relationships, we seek recognition from others, when our concern out to have been about deepening our own abilities to recognise things around us better.

A diamond doesn't even wait for any recognition of its worth.

A coconut tree, that sprung up on the desolate shores of a tiny island, when the sea waves pushed a ripe coconut to that place, simply yields nuts according to the available nutrients. It doesn't look for recognition of its potential to yield 300 good nuts per year, if properly manured etc.

Teenagers look for recognition of their inclination at something that tries to flourish ( some hidden/latent talent). Whereas the structure of our society binds them on to a railroad of a pattern, on 'like it or not basis', this is your routine now on.

Expectations of getting a recognition, has come to affect the attrition rate among talented techies. The beneficiaries of attrition are those who deserve only benching 🤣

My experience with being_recognised, was very useful in understanding the basics of 'human mind', and when it culminated to a situation where, "getting recognised" got inseparably enmeshed into a two way problem, i thought 'this is the peak of recognition_problem at its highest_intensity".....Let me describe this rare situation. A person sitting eyes closed for meditation, has no way to know whether his meditation is worth being recognised for its minimum_pass_marks..🤣… And, a person observing him, has no tangible tools to evaluate that meditation and then to_recognise that meditation for its due level of worth 🙏😰

I decided to learn, how_to_recognise a person at meditation, for his level of meditativeness. It took a decade to learn it. But recognition as an abstract quality decided to bless me uniquely 😜

Whatever i got recognised for, in me….. usually ended up as a means to exploit me, for others.

Example: my wife returning from a wedding of her neice, unpacked and spread out 5 packets of cookies( deep fried in oil, hand made items, with shelf life). It was a custom to offer one pack of 5 items to each invitee to a wedding, belonging to 'close people' list.  But 5 packets? I stared at my wife . She explained " oh! That's because, my cousin decided that you are not yet having any ailment or chronic problem like cholesterol, BP, sugar, hypertension etc despite old age…. all other invitees of our age declined this junk items citing medical_condition….so she dumped it in my bag, citing your ability to eat junk 😜" Huge recognition for my health 🙏🙏🙏🙏.

Workload at workplace for me was due to recognition of two disabilities in me. One, i don't refuse work or protest overload. Two, i stretch myself to 'limits' when adequate work is available, and thus kept growing at my abilities to absorb more load. Ultimately, a breaking point came, where i cheerfully decided to quit, and enjoyed premature retirement 👍. Logic and reasoning failed the set of bosses who forgot about reasonableness of exploiting somebody's amenability.

When do we recognise the real worth of being born as a human being???

When are we going to recognise the complex human frame we got, and the flexibility of our mind with its freedom to shape itself the way we choose? When do we recognise the truth that we can decide our future, despite the influence of our past on our present?

Oops! Recognition is getting subtler here….

Cognizantly yours,

My silly koschans

 My "silly koschans"

I am fond of asking very silly questions 🙏

Mostly related to "ancient way of life in Bharat, misnamed as Hinduism"

Sample: " why is it that the sanctum sanctorum( garbha gruha) of temples is deliberately ill_ventilated? That priest, spoils the ventilation further😜….burning camphor, oil lamps etc most of the time he does Pooja, and shuts it's small door as soon as he comes out?.. yet he looks fresh😳🙏" ( ancient temples were on huge land spaces, massive construction with great heights, STUPENDOUS labour. Just_that main room is small, stuffy, dingy, etc and yet doesn't cause 'health issues'

Sample:"Godji birthdays are on moon phases( human death anniversary also on moon phases), whereas, our birthdays are are on birth star days.why?"

My "silly" koschans.....😜

( The why……. about it 🙏……my own mind conjured a silly_excuse🙏😰😭)

These kind of questions, improves the explorative skills of a person.

The emotion of vismaya, wonder is nudged often...😜

The discoveries thereof enhances the trust and confidence in our ancient wisdom unshakeably 🙏

Needless to add, perception deepens, learning skills get sharpened. Obviously, stability in emotions improves, when we are needed to relook at it with an equipoised mind, non-prejudiced mind, a calm and still mind😜…(with any luck, the sense of discrimination might even_reveal the correct answers🙏… mystic answers are always from….. within 😜😜😜)

If all this is really true, am i wrong in asking such "silly" questions please?

Am i not contributing to enhance the latent human_qualities in my audience?

Silly being of yours,

Investing Trust

 🙂

I am embarking upon something that i am not sure, of my competency to talk about.

( In ancient India, people knew clearly, whether to open their mouth or not, to sermonise.... Usually, only very highly evolved people in spirituality try to advise, suggest, or sermonise. The immediate advantage of such stringent standards was trust level in the speaker was AWESOME 👍)

In my case here, the probability of someone taking it beyond an entertainment value is very unlikely. 

Yet, since i was bestowed with precious feedbacks of near-miracle instances by a few readers, i confine myself to adhere to those ancient values of "speak only if you are competent enough"...

I have ample experience of having tasted the results of having experimented with

having invested in others, my trustworthiness. I keep offering trust wherever I can afford. The nature of ....My job..... provided me ample scope to offer my trustworthiness to the customers and colleagues in equal and unlimited measure.

All i had to do was take conscious efforts to live up to their trust in me.

I did it....

The results were incidental and consequential, and yet of  immense worth 👍

It is the 'results' that is likely to interest the readers, since the present day minds, being commercially inclined to keep asking ' what is there for me, in it? Why should I?" 

The health benefit is at the neurological levels 😜 ( try it and then decide, instead of asking me to mention it. Each set of nerves are distinct and unique, just as the complexities of physiology)

Psychological benefits are improvement in interpersonal relationships.

General benefits are, the ambience around us, ( the so called aura we carry,) remains bright and positive 😜

Longterm benefits? Easy to guess... You learn the worth of abstract emotion called trust.... You learn the use of already _available sense_of_discrimination 😜... Not easy to use discretion about who is eligible to enjoy your trust.( For example, somebody who decides that you are a KAAFIR, is unlikely to avoid abusing your_trust 😰)

Trusting somebody else is damn risky 🙏🙏🙏

Excersize caution....

Offering trust is 👍.... Worst case scenario is, we get exploited once🤣. Cut off that pipeline to that fellow who abuses your trust. Simple.

Testily yours😜

Atheism

 Atheism

There was perhaps, no necessity for coining a word for non believers in devil's, bad_ghosts, villains and the likes in superhumans 😜…. The vacancies got filled often by normal humans themselves 😝😜😜😜… easier to play the negative role in real life, than trying to copypaste a God ( fake godmen are cowards who don't dare to be an open_devil.)

Half baked atheists are no better than half_hearted theists….

I won't desecrate the sanctity of this piece by delving into the attributes of ½'s here🙏

Athiest has an opportunity to test his fastidiousNess, by trying to disprove the 4 mahaVaakyas, starting with the easiest one to disprove, pragyananBrahma. No God is mentioned in these 4 declaratory truths 🙏… in fact there is a taunt….a tease…."who cares, whether you agree or not…these 4 are universal truths👍"( look at these 4 declarations in the backdrop of OBJECTIVISM, whose base is on a presumptuous edifice called " existence exists"... It pleads, "please believe in this. Only then, i can convince you about objectivist epistemology 😰😓")

Theists on the other hand, need to strive to call themselves thus😜…. Otherwise, they are escapists only, due to lack of courage to remain as atheists😰…. ( This is quite irritating, i apologise for causing it🙏)

True theists, cannot avoid appreciating the benevolence of their creator. And also cannot deny the supreme intelligence of ultimate entity of this universe 🙏.

Therefore, the best gifts can come only from the "boss" of the theists.

Gifts can be tangible or intangible (subtle)

That entity needn't be miserly 🙏

So He gifts the best of both tangible & intangible 😜

Tangible gift has_to_be, with exclusivity to the recipient. His body. Most sophisticated machine EVER. 

Intangible gift is TRUST…. do any damn thing with your_body 🙏 that entity's trust is unconditional 👍….

See, if we gift something, and that fellow makes the BEST use of it, rewards are consequential. Satisfaction is itself a complete reward. And the entity gives a reward of HIMSELF …😜😝… no less than a part of Godji/ahamBrahmaAsmi state.

And…..abuse, misuse, non use, dis_use….etc of trust & body….. obviously fetches the Newton's law of actin-reaction…. Karma. 😓… Please undo your negatives and proceed to live_up to the trust, thus, reciprocating for 2 gifts, body & trust.

Atheist needs to worry about only God, and prove his nonexistentance. Nobody questions an atheist " why don't you disprove opposite entity of God, the devil?"( that vacancy gets filled easily 😜…. India has good stock of pissfuls sickulars liberandoos commies anti-nationals, and these devil's patronize terror state nearby😝😜… no probs.)

Intangibly yours,

41 days

 41 days

I remember my first visit to sabarimala 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I was in amravati ( near Akola)...

An Andhra friend, officer in Andhra Bank, was from Chennai and he liked me to undertake the vritam/penance....

Usually, i don't think too much before nodding a yes to any kind of self imposed discipline ( i know from past experience, it always leaves me better evolved than earlier 😜

So i said 'okay👍....tell me how to go about it?"

He gave a list of do's and don'ts....being 10 years old on that path.

Few samples...

Twice bath...

Temple visit daily.

Camphor & lamp propitiation to any deity, but chants only about sabarimala deity.

and so on....

Since i was alone, a bachelor, cooking my food in a single room accommodation....i had a few constraints. 

I couldn't know, if any women i see on the road, or at my workplace, as a customer is going through her periods. One rule was, if you meet any such woman, take a bath, and only then you can have any intake ( even a glass of water 😀.... Strange rule....but the orthodoxy I had seen, already, helped me to 'digest' this rule.)

So, once i leave my room after a breakfast, not a drop of water till i return to my room, and have a bath😜

A good process, for cleansing my body, using my empty stomach as a tool...!

41 days was the minimum stipulated period of penance/austerity....

But , as it turned out....my tryst with this guide INVARIABLY allowed me to remain austere for 60 days, for the next ten years.🤣

My inner experience of undergoing such rigorous routine, was indescribable, in terms of mind's 'flow chart' of thoughts 😜

Awesome.

Clarity seemed effortless 😳😳😳

I was really STUPIFIED at the 'natural' equipoise that my mind got settled into very frequently, during my waking hours. 🙄🙄🙄

Another experience was a bit illogical, at first.....and then very soon the very same clarity allowed me to perceive the deeper logic, with its reasoning 😜

My body was going thin, due to drastic drop in food intake 🤣..... Only one meal in the morning. Almost nothing at night after bath & prayer....though a glass of milk was there at times in my room.

It didn't seem to matter. I was puzzled 😳........ I ought to feel weak due to drop in food intake 😳😳😳😳

Then why am I normal? 

The clarity, afforded due to reduction in thought process, it's volume, allowed my tiny intellect to "see" . The only possible explanation was, thought process used to consume lot of calories hitherto 😜........ When thought process became need-based ( like the thumb-rule of today's techies, " give only need-based info")...the energy got conserved, and preserved. The food requirement was enough with one meal...🙄🙄🙄

Anyway, this vritam/austerity taught me awesome things, which remained a part of me thereafter👍

Quietly yours

Boon or curse?

 

#Boon_or_Curse

Assuming that somebody among us in the present day, happens to possess a small power to bless with a boon, and also to curse effectively 😳

In that person, which power would have greater potency?

Boon/blessings or curse to take full effect? 😜

( Crooked question it may seem, but if some reader manages an equipoised mind while looking at the koschan, discrimination may bloom😜😜😜 and a grasp about subtleties of इspirituality may be possible 🙏)

Stupid versus (stupid)²

 Stupid versus (stupid)²

I know, the title is bound to cause some kind of emotional stir…

Let me hurry to explain.

It is quite understandable, if two neighbouring inmates of a mental health home fail to take notice of each other for a decade even…..as next cell dwellers…🙏

But if a gross stupidity remains unnoticed by onlookers for a long time???😰🤔🤔. Who is more stupid? (stupid-squared...S² 🤣) 

The madman of narayanath made sure that others noticed him, by consciously doing stupid things 😜 ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naranath_Bhranthan )

A baby of just 6 months, 

discovered after 3 days, in a debris 6 feet deep, after a massive earthquake, surprises us and we even call it a miracle 🙏…

Probably, medical science might find some clue….the baby has tiny lungs, nil activity…..so it conserves the limited oxygen available in the small crevice under the debris. Slow breathing was BECAUSE the baby is too ignorant to panic😜

Now, the OPPOSITE 🙏

#GarbhaGruha Sanctum -anctorum, of ancient Hindu temples….😜

Zero ventilation ( only a small door, and poojari/priest crawls in, )

That priest, uses up the available scant oxygen O² by burning camphor, dhoopsticks, lighting oil lamps etc….😜

And, when he comes out…..he shuts that small door, until he creeps in next time….

All the 3 to 5 hours he remains inside, he exhausts the available oxygen in the name of doing aarati, deepam, dhoopam to propitiate the deity.

This priest spends at least 6 hours in that I'll ventilated work_place( his office 🤣😜)

Decades of unbroken service in that I'll ventilated work_place ( no casual leave, privilege leave, or even SICK-leave😜…the fellow seldom falls sick)

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. 😰😰😰😰

At least …..he ???? atleast he ought to have noticed the paradox? Lack of ventilation keeps him intelligent ( not just physically healthy 😓😰🙏🙏🙏) for decades???? ( Kerala priests are requested to do complex calculation in astrology, called prasnaKundali…. horoscope asking a question ❓, to seek answers to mysterious problems 😳)

Why did we not try to notice this STUPIDITY of ancients, who built giant structures in vast premises, but designed the most_important room to be most ill-ventilated, and used to DEPLETE the scantily available O² 🤔???

I am thoroughly embarrassed that I failed to find out the reason for decades, despite noticing this "stupidity" even as a kid…

I shouldn't disturb others, nudging them to 'find out experiencially "🙏

My sole purpose was……to remind ourselves that…

Not noticing a stupidity ( too grossly visible to ignore), is not a wisdom 🙏

Humbly yours,

Ancient tourism

 Ancient tourism 

A question tickled me today…..

Even during rains , tourism is flourishing today…😳🙄🙄🙄🙄

Monsoon is no longer a lean period for travel as 81 % of respondents wanted to holiday this 

monsoon, says a Yatra.com survey. 

Do you agree? Would you like to travel during rainy season? 

#K00 #polloftheday #pollsonkoo #wednesdaythought #goodmorning #wednesdaymotivation 

https://www.kooapp.com/koo/stay_informed/bc495178-a59b-4d1d-b808-d2126c30198e

I wrote there…..

"In our yogic lore,

only spiritual people travel a lot.

Others borrow their experience 🙏 ( it was a technology. Like we use gadgets for a virtual space travel, sitting at home, getting all the related sensations, thrill, excitement)

Even those spiritual peepals stay at a place for 3 months🙄🤔😳🤔🤔🤔

Anyway clouds bring "data" from across seas and pour it on our head😜🤣🤣 ( technology decides🙏🙏)

5000 yrs of life style. My choice 🙏, to call them STUPID👍💪

but, HEADACHE, to delve into their reasons😜

Travel was known as teerth_yaatra ( no sight seeing ULHAASYatra, vyarthYatra etc)

Only after certain level of "eligibility" an evolved person "travels to ENERGISED places( teerth_sthal). His/her responsibility to share the energies ( pershaad) with locals. Funding is no probs😜 .if rich, own paisa, otherwise others fund them😜

Ancient Tourizam ऐंय्यां होवै! ( USA not in pikcharr😜)"

Ancient tourism had a different level of perspective 🙏😭🙏🙏🙏

Every damn thing they do….( including tourism) needed to be a spiritually inclined activity ( that's why today, every damn thing they do looks utterly STUPID🤣 )

Karmic residue

 Karmic residue

Suppose you have an experience which negates every other possibility except one.....?

In mathematics, we use a negative logic, like " let x not be equal to 'y' then...." ( and so on...🙂

Ultimately, we have conclude, "x= y"..

I never learnt some tough yogic practice in this life time, and suddenly, within a few hours.....i am able to do it comfortably 🤔

The teacher says, " it takes between twelve to 21 years to get this practice right"...

I am 😳 stunned....

I have to conclude " then , this belongs to my practice done in some past life🙏.... Another natural derivative is.....there is.....a past life then 🙄.... There is a possibility to carry forward the skills of past life, karma....etc 😓🙏"

1994

A combo of 2 mudras & 1 kriya.... Each,  one after the other, takes one hour each, and fourth hour to do these three together 😜

Thus, one round of practice tales 4 hours.

We were asked to do "just 3 rounds" daily. 🤣

Pituitary gland secretion, flowing a little down the throat, replaces the need to eat food😂

If we do it for long time, it replaces sleep and finally breathing 🙄😳😳😳

I reached "don't need food" stage in just a day 😳🙄🙄🙄…an unbelievably great experience. I didn't even"try" to tell it to others. But, the teacher is able to"see" that i could revive it in me 😳

Desi spirituality is of……different LEVEL 😜😜😜😜

Purpose is to skip the process of rebirth, LKG,UKG, BSc, MSc...etc😂 

Without defying nature, play_dead, and continue "next batch of karmic residue"! 

Ancient sophisticated technique 😜

Antiquity of yours,

Stings or bites?

 Stings or bites ?

A snake only bites, ( it's fangs may be poisonous)

A scorpion only stings ( its tail has a sharp & strong nail like thing, again to inject poison)

So it is enough to identify between a इsnake ( an_esnake, or a snake) and a scorpion ( इscorpion), to know which extreme end is going to harm me🙏. Certainly these two aren't going to shower their affection on me😜

Human beings are unpredictable 😭🙏

Difficult to know whether they would sting, bite, or spew venom😜. And whic_end of that fellow, tail or mouth? Tongue or pen? 

( I was having a ….yet another problem, unlike my colleagues. I look for the possibility of a normal human being among my bosses😜)

Discrimination was the only tool i could 'think of' to pre_empt a defense before they attack. If i am PRE-judiced, i miss a normal( known as 'good') human being in a manager( at my workplace)

I met all the three types….😝… Stinging, biting and loving….

When the stings & bites seemed a needless torture ( very stupid to bear with, when the purpose (of employment)became defunct, i said " i quit". 

My stupidities were solely responsible for my ignoble exit🙏… 

There is something called an IP_phone ( maybe "internet protocol" based phone🙏). My data entry speed irritated the officer monitoring the system at central server of head office and phoned via IP phones to find out the name of the idiot who usurped one out of every 15 transaction ID allotted by main server to all India transactions 😜… ( he needn't search our branch landline number sitting in kampootarr room of head office)....

At branch, the ring sounded from a "very wrong place"( server room phone was only ornamental for stings & fangs walas here😜). Anyway, the caller had to explain his reason for calling, and i knew my defect of needless speed in a PSU 🙏🙏🙏. I decided, " entirely my fault to be glaringly visible like a sitting duck😭… it is a sin, unpardonable one, to be highly productive, efficient, and senselessly_unselfish😭…

I met a normal human being too😝😜😜😜

He was on his punishment transfer to where i was working. 

He very soon removed all_known_shackles that might possibly chain us from getting close to him. Only he can remove the locks. Manager has all the keys( even for emotional locks). He burdened us with his responsibilities, and said "you decide between yourselves these official & mandatory requirements".

I extended that burden on myself. My brains found the freedom to explore my own innovative_abilities, lying dormant since i joined the job. I stupified the controlling offices with "logic defying statistics" exceeding the business targets of that quarter ahead of time, and in a week, instead of an year😜😝🙏…. Not easy, even for seasoned business experts. 

Sting and fangs were in greater number. The ambience percolating from a corrupt regime at Central Government could give anything other than this. ( Kids….. routinely get_scared at the sight of a policeman, who was the GabbarSingh in our real life 🤣😜😜😜. Because he is invariably a slave to scam netas 🙏)...

I just thought….

when humans look alike…..unlike animals, insects and creatures….. uncertain characteristics, unpredictable emotions, and with .....non_dependable_commonSense, etc….

how_to_use the….. available…..sense of Discrimination in us….may find 0.001% appeal 🙏… at least 😜

Learn and then teach

 Learn & then teach

A seafarer learns two types of skills, by the time he reitres from water.

A doctor also learns two types of skills.

Both these professionals can teach one type of what they learnt, to their willing students, quite easily.

Handling of the situation they did all their life.

Seafarer( including a fisherman who goes to deep sea) can teach navigating in turbulent waters.

A doctor can teach to handle critically ill patients.

The other type of skill….😜

The sea expert learns attention span, of high quality. ( Tougher than what a doctor can learn)

Doctors learn observation…. ( Directly affects qualitative diagnosis 🙏)

Teaching a student, skills like quality attention, quality observation, quality perception, etc are skills, that evade a teachers teaching skills, often🙏

A spiritual person, turns into a guru, ( highest quality teacher 😜) and he imparts only the second type of skills. 😰……… Tough ordeal no doubt.

Ancient gurukuls( we might miss the sledgehammer blow, of what it implies, when it it is a Guru+ kul. ….not a shikshak-kul, upadhyay kul, or those 5)

The product, the mind( of the इstudent) is of good quality. That इstudent happens to deepen the learning_curve, till death 😜… ( we lose the curve within 2 years of leaving college edukaShun)

Unskilled (& yours)
