Honesty without transperancy

 Honesty without transperancy 



Honestly is good, but transparency in honesty may create embarrassment for a few๐Ÿ˜œ



A joke ( true incident)

1962 war 

Our school's Principal echoed the "call' of the prime minister to contribute for 'National Defence Fund".

He told us in the assembly at 8:45 am "collect whatever you can. Coins okay. Money order to NDF is free in post office, by gourmet order"

The same evening, I went around the neighborhood of my home. Uncle & aunt of the same house I requested "small coins okay". Thus a long list of names, with 5 or 10 paise against each name.

My dad had said "come to me in the last"

Dad looked at the list, counted the coins, converted it into rupee-notes, and added his own ( 4 or 8 annas, not sure๐Ÿ™)


Total was ₹ 4.65


Princi surprised at 8.30 am when I submitted the list with ₹4.65

He decided to announce in the assembly "one boy is very prompt. He collected ₹4.65. with a list. For his age, it is admirable"


In the evening, I showed the list to all the donors ( I had to convince them, I didn't swallow their five/ten-paise.

Joke : one uncle( childless) said :" If I knew, you will SHOW-AROUND that list like this, I would have given ₹1/- ๐Ÿ˜ฅ" 


At that age, I didn't understand why he said this. ( But after reaching 10th, I understood my stupidity. I should have shown only "Gave ₹4.65 total amount to Principal"(princi acknowledged on copy of list๐Ÿ™)

online conversion of hurdles into opporChutney

 Modi is perhaps the only leader who speaks about “converting hurdles into opportunities”.

I am not any where near Modi to even appreciate him loudly ๐Ÿ™‚



I had a rare occasion to suggest, “hurdle into opportunity” during my days of volunteering (1992–95) as a ‘back up support ‘ for freshers in yoga programs.



A lady “sir, I am a housewife with lot of work in the morning & evening, to look after my family of two kids, hubby, and parents-in-law. Instead of supporting, they all have turned into critics already, saying “who will do the cooking, washing, cleaning etc, if your yoga business is in the morning– evening hours?๐Ÿ˜ก”


I am zero in house management. Incompetent to give ‘tips’ ๐Ÿ™

Instead, I thought, “let me cook up a bogus story, and clandestinely infuse a concept, NON-INVASIVELY( medicos try non invasive, non intrusive examination of physiology ๐Ÿ˜œ)


I told her:

“ Madam,

Your query is 100% genuine, practical & real.

I am not good at giving solutions. Instead, let us go through a BOGUS fictional story, invented by me, and I pray, you may feel INSPIRED to figure out the solution for your problem, by yourself ๐Ÿ™


Story:

Imagine, you are a teenager, Good at sprinting 100 metres race, and selected at district level, and given 3 months to prepare for state level selection of 200 metres race. You are stinking_rich. A driver takes you to the “tracks” each morning at 5 am for a 3 hour practice, and at 4 pm for 2 hours training. At the end of 3 months, you are short of just 2 seconds to reach old records of 23 seconds for 200 metres.


Imagine, a tribal kid, impoverished, poor, but accidentally a competitor from his tribal hilly region. He too, ‘hopes’ to practice ๐Ÿ™

His hurdles..

1)no track near his hill to practice.

2)his mom says “you can't go beyond my visibility range for your nonsense ( running 200 metres to-and-fro in vain). “

3) the immediate 200 metres from his hut is full of rocky boulders, pits, and uneven slope!

That kid, due to his tribal innocence, decides to give a try๐Ÿ‘

He too managed to measure his-200 metres after 3 months….. 30 seconds ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿคฃ 

He knows, 23 to 25 seconds is ‘good’ to participate in selection rounds. But, having ‘invested’ 3 months, daily 6 to 8 hours, he ‘braces’ himself for a defeat at ‘trials’ not without going for trials.


Trials

You did as ‘clocked’ on those tracks already 

That tribal kid ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ 21 seconds! ( Absence of rocks, pits, etc on groomed-track felt like chewing Halwa( a soft sweet dish๐Ÿคฃ). 

The timekeeper equally surprised, STUPIFIED!!! ( unofficially, the kid & timekeeper both decide a private re-run for fun. That kid betters by ½ a second ๐Ÿ˜œ)


Story over. ( My inspiration for manufacturing this bogus story was a true incident. A tribal lad, holding last van of a goods train in African jungle, noticed by a British officer, was picked up for olympics. His long-strides to keep pace with goods train helped him win a gold. His German competetor helped him to walk back from white marker, to leap from exact-marker, unmindful of losing to a better-fellow-competitor! )


Madam, an example for “hurdles can-be an opporChutney too! Matter of Perspective only๐Ÿ™”


That lady, a moment later “okay ๐Ÿ‘… I will wake up ½ an hour early, and sleep ½ an hour late. Thank you sir ๐Ÿ™ “


I felt glad. My mind whispered silently ”exactly what we-too-were doing. Use sleep quota hours for spirituality“( any way MeditaShun reduces sleep_requirements)


Covertly yours,

Namaskar bijness

 Desi design : seeking blessings by touching the feet of a fellow elder by age.


The main criteria: whether there was any "elderliNess in that elder?" That criteria got extinct ๐Ÿ˜œ



[27/08, 2:49 pm] PSN: My personal concern was, when I touch the top of the head of a kid doing the ritual of vandanam/namaskaram, 


I should be "response_able/responsible"....not a mere "show bijness"( ignorant of EVEN the distinction between anugraham & asheervadam ๐Ÿ˜ญ)


Something "positive" needs to be transmitted to that "innocent" kid ( reasonable, isn't it?)


Subtle spiritual energy, preferably ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ™


I had to strive for it. Slog .



That kid is-not going to question me, if I get_away with a stupid meaningless touch, as-if I really 'blessed' him ๐Ÿ˜‚ ( I am accountable to my atma/spirit/karma/whatever. None others concern me. A purely personal affair ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™).



( There is a negative aspect as well. Traditional belief is : if that namaskaram accompanies a voluntary_surrender, which is rare, then, I acquire the karma of the fellow bowing/prostrating to me๐Ÿ˜“. I needed to learn to pass on that karma elsewhere ๐Ÿ˜œ)


Karma is a sort of energy flow too. If I bow to an undeserving fellow, just because he a more aged donkey than me, I acquire his negative energies ๐Ÿ˜œ)




[27/08, 2:53 pm] PSN: In epic stories,


Heavy symbolism is loaded.

Rama had to take the form of a 'normal' human being. But the loophole was, he can 'acquire' the energies of evolved fellow's. Thus, Rama is found doing 'namaskarams' to all & sundries, with utmost humility ๐Ÿ˜œ. Ravana doesn't 'bow' to anyone ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

Water effects

 A friend wrotted( wrote to me, a forward he got)



[27/08, 9:05 am] friend:


 I did not *apply for anything*.

*No one recommended me*.

Yet, I was *gifted this miraculous body*—

*Without an interview, without merit — pure grace*.


*Blood flows ceaselessly from head to toe*,

Every *heartbeat a silent drum of life*.

I don’t know what kind of *divine technology powers this system*,

But the *heart never tires, never rests, until it's time to go*


Two eyes, like cameras of a *thousand megapixels*,

Capture the ever-changing *beauty of this world*—

Colours, light, emotions—etched into memory.


A *tongue that performs ten thousand taste tests with precision*…

*Skin, a living sensor, feeling heat, cold, love, pain*—

A miracle of sensitivity.


A *voice box* that *expresses thought and emotion*

Through sounds of infinite variety. And *ears* that decode *every frequency*—

From whispers of the wind to the laughter of loved ones.


This body, made of *75% water*,

Holds firm, no short circuit no leakage. Despite millions of pores.


*I stand tall, unsupported by anything*.

Rubber tyres wear out on roads,

But the *soles* of my feet carry me through a *lifetime*—

Still holding strong.


What an *astonishing, divine creation*!

Nothing *man-made can come close ever*


You are the Giver, the Operator, the Designer.

Every memory, every thought, every ounce of strength and peace_—

All come from You, O Sustainer.

This is Your divine play,Your masterpiece.

Let me not just exist, but participate

In the selfless joy, the divine rhythm of Your Creation.

It is a temple of Your presence๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Stiff neck

 Stiff-neck 


๐Ÿ˜‚


Very few of us are born with a defect, which prevents us from turning our head sideways, at will.  When our neck becomes stiff( some unfortunate medical condition, spine malfunction, often) we need to turn out body above waist, to enable the head to turn sideways and allow eyes to ‘view’ something ๐Ÿ™



I heard that Sunflower has no stiff-neck like other plants and trees. Flexible neck( stalk of that flower), allows the ‘sensitivity’ of_the_flower to keep_receiving the Positive rays from sun, throughout the day ๐Ÿ˜œ ( we know, sunflower doesn't need yoga-asanas to maintain flexibility ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜œ).


We humans are under a compulsion to choose “which way to think & act”. Our “potential” for sensitivity goes dead, remains dormant, retains its capacity or….. keeps_Growing_too, as per our Choices ๐Ÿ™


Simplest available EVIDENCE of ancient wisdom is…… we bow to the Most_energetic celestial body available to_us. Sun.  And the ‘best’ time is during the 4 meeting points of day and night ๐Ÿ˜‚.  3 of them was ‘practical' for familied/gruhastha folk. Hence the term “triKaala-Sandhyavandan”.  ( We have a choice…. to be like a sunflower or a stiff-necked flower)


More discreet ones decided to use a natural “antenna”  which keeps accumulating PLUS reflecting towards earth, whatever kind of energies it ‘gets’ from……EVEN  far away celestial bodies.  Moon ๐ŸŒ™ 

Among the other bodies, planets around the sun emit energies which affect us in some way. Moon, like a dish_antenna, reflects such energies. Powerful stars also emit their subtle energies. The sum total of all these emissions from out outer world, became a science by itself ( astrology, astronomy) for the enlightened desi saints of ancient Bharat ๐Ÿ™ ( Yes, we can choose to ignore or accept this).  Lunar_calender got it's added significance ( alongside Sun, not ignoring it), and therefore, a concept like “moon represents the Mind”, in astrology ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜œ).


Becoming UNAVAILABLE to strong external influences, ( unavoidable negative energies) became a skill ! Spiritual bijness monopolised this skill ๐Ÿ˜œ. Not that this skill is unavailable to non-spiritual people ๐Ÿ™ . A choice again.



Stiff-neck.

I find, tensed people having their neck muscles “stiff” most of the time. After a certain point, it turns ‘default’ stiffness. Dunno why they CHOOSE to ignore own_neck?  ( A little massage can relax neck muscles. Head ‘feels’ relaxed for a few minutes at least ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜‚).  Forget that STIFF-competition from that (flexible_neck_wala)sun flower๐Ÿ™ . Own head is valuable, isn't it, with 4 input_devices located there?


Your choice ๐Ÿ™ ( today, Vinayaka chaturthi, not advisable to be available to reflected emissions from moon. )


Inflexibly yours,

Loneliness

 Loneliness 


Oldies feel it more.

Not that the youngsters are rid of it. Just that, they are yet to confront it, because there is something else to keep their minds busy.


I wondered “can my_Mind can invent problems” ๐Ÿ˜œ……. 

I tried “logic” in the exclusivity of my_emotions. 

Why did we miss that loneliness while inside a toilet or bathroom?  Oh! If I ‘know’ that there are three more waiting outside, to use that toilet after I come out, I can “feel” being pushed/jostled right inside the toilet, though alone and locked up!๐Ÿ˜“


A soldier keeping a watch at the border, alone, in a bunker, in pitch dark, doesn't feel lonely…. He knows, a whole platoon is waiting to hear him whisper into the walkie-talkies, if there is a firing from the other side. So? ๐Ÿค”. That same soldier  can create his_loneliness post retirement ๐Ÿ˜œ…. It must be my_mind, failing to experience and extended_inclusiveness, while alone ๐Ÿ˜ณ, which “breeds” that loneliness ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜“


Desi ascetics confine themselves into a cave to practice meditation, for years, being all_alone!  

Ancient Bharat had coined a phrase “vasudaiva Kutumbakam”( did they expect me to EXPERIENCE this phrase, which was to extend the universe into my_family?). Those ancients even managed to invoke the presence of ancestors, in a very subtle way, using powerful spiritual chants!  Egyptian mummies were kept embalmed to keep_out that loneliness in living ones? Dunno!


Deep sleep insists that I miss EVEN my own presence, if I wish to restore my mind and body to their normal health each day๐Ÿ˜œ ( sleep is the only state, that OBVIATES company to keep loneliness away๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™)


Inclusiveness, seems to be the daily_dose of medicine, to be felt CONSCIOUSLY, especially during old age, to avoid loneliness.  Otherwise ‘fighting’ loneliness while alone seems a vain attempt ๐Ÿ˜ฅ 



Inclusively yours,

A.I. dream

 A.I. dream


I (badly) had a (Good) dream…

Badly affected.

Good-ly enjoyed.


A.I. is the in-thing now ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ญ

I dunno ‘how to RESTORE the earlier version of humble-gooGirlSarch’ , after it became AI enabled๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ฅ


So Garbage in, garbage out( GiGo) happened with my dreams too ๐Ÿ˜ญ


My dream :

( no need to ‘throw’ a suspense like movie/serial makers who declare later “it was a dream”)


Some western scientist decided to use me as a guinea pig, for his experiment (probably my 800+ blogs worked AGAINST me, when he decided my OI (human, Original Intellect) to be most-perverted, and ideal thing to ‘experiment’.


Kidnapped, sedated, I was boxed in a metal container and opened in that AI lab. 

2 chips were implanted in me ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™


1.a tracker( of course, AI enabled) for that lab to tag me

2.an AI chip ( ultra sophisticated, cost effectiveness under ‘test’ to replace the robot_design and it's cumbersome mechanical parts).


Then I was let_loose back in India.


I felt persuaded by strange thoughts, flowing in at millions_per_NanoSecond speed ๐Ÿ˜ณ( thought, I would swoon, but didn't. Only that “my_own” mind squeezed itself, like a street dog which confronted a full grown bull-terrior.)


I decided ( not me, my AI chip), to go shopping. The salesman got baffled at the break-down of product details, cost components, GST-cheating, etc in a second, and humbly requested me to leave his shop.

I tried a vakil next. I ‘posed’ as a witness of opposite side, and asked him to cross-examine me. He got SCARED at the revelations I reeled out, pointing out all the weak points of his client.

On the road, I met a desi_scientist( only 1 thesis , that too a copy-paste, for his PhD ๐Ÿ˜œ). He escaped into a by-lane. I didn't like to chase him, as I felt ‘pity’. Yes, my mind happened to retain the ‘faculty’ of self-pity, DESPITE that AI chip inside me๐Ÿ˜œ.


Roadside cricket. Young kids didn't mind me trying the bat a few times. They got SCARED of losing the ball, and asked me to bowl. Their desi_wicket sticks broke. I left that place.

Some private TV fellow’s camera spotted me. That anchor forgot what_he_asked!!!! He blurted “hey! You sound like the latest Google_search! ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ"     ( ROFL).

His laughter shook me out of the dream.


The joke is…. I scrambled to the mirror at the wash basin to check my “face” ๐Ÿ˜‚.  Nah! Face isnt gonna reassure me that I am naarmal/normal.  I felt confused.


First time in my life, I needed “extra minutes” after-waking up, to reassure me, it was a dream. ( Only toddlers keep crying for 5 more minutes, after waking up from a ‘bad_dream’)



I am off to a psychiatrist, just to ask “any way Sir, to PREVENT an AI_enabled dream¿ ???”( I hope, he doesn't get scared๐Ÿ˜œ)


Dreamily yours,

psn(19 aug 2025)


A teaser: If, by any stray_chance a western techie gets a freak idea to try an implant of AI chip, 


He confronts a problem: How to by_pass a human mind?

He may be good at program coding. 


But, for design of that software ( Bypass surgery), he "may" have to seek help from a ....

desi, half-baked spiritual_Nut (like me๐Ÿ˜œ).


No joke, to bypass a 'mind' ๐Ÿ˜“

Did we realise?

 Did we realise?


We often used the word “realise” without realising it's true significance ๐Ÿ˜œ


‘i realise that you are right/wrong about what you said about me!”( Really ‘realised’ or merely understood/grasped/etc?)


A “realised being “( AI enabled Google search) :      "Realized being" refers to an individual who has attained a deep understanding of their true nature, often associated with spiritual enlightenment or self-realization. This state involves a shift in consciousness where the individual transcends ego-identification and experiences a sense of unity with the universe or a higher reality. It's a state of being free from the limitations of the mind and its associated suffering.

Mridangam student from USA

 Mridangam student from USA


I was fortunate to meet a few like me, once in a while.๐Ÿ˜ฅ



My aunt lived at small village "nelluvaya"( famous Dhanwantari temple).


A mridangam teacher lived close by and was a regular visitor to my aunt, as a family friend.



Once an American landed there, keen to learn mridangam from this illiterate malayali ๐Ÿ˜œ

( Fees wasn't any issue. ) But this mallu did everything within him to get rid of this incompatible foreigner. He was a contended soul, with no temptations for $ 


Somehow, mallu had to agree to teach. 

Now, left with only one "weapon" -----heavy, tiring homework, mallu asked his disciple to practice just 4 beats for a month ( don't show your "face" to me, till you can do like this/me----demo)


That guy returns on 6th day, demonstrated that 'beat' exceptionally well ๐Ÿ˜ณ

A translator was there. American said "well, I had no other work! Entire waking hours, except eating, bathing and toilet... spent in practicing"


Next level was "meant" to take 2+ months.

This guy came back in a week again ๐Ÿ˜ฅ. 

Now, the mallu understood what he is "against". A deep bond got forged. ( I was told....that American didn't need 2 years to grab, whatever his Guru could teach. He left, seeking higher level teachers. )

Epilogue: I had a family to look after. A job with responsibility of cash-keys. Couldn't afford “all the waking hours” of intense practice of what I “loved” to do! ( Therefore, a compromise —do that “little a day” with high intensity. )


Prologue: ( a bogus story ๐Ÿ˜œ It's a “fashion” to mock and ridicule Hindu-epics, when the underlying symbolism seems tough to imbibe,๐Ÿ™, therefore call it “bogus๐Ÿ‘”) The story: Narada boasted to his deity “am I not your Best-devotee?” Vishnu said “nope!๐Ÿ˜ฅ A farmer down there, in the”Human world” is better than you”. Narada rushed to verify that farmer. The poor farmer was ploughing his small field by himself, toiling hard, barely able to make both-ends-meet. Busy whole day, eats megerly & sleeps tired. Narada reported”I checked. He chants you name just thrice a day—before ploughing, before lunch, and before sleeping at night…. I chant 24/7 “. Vishnu said “okay, take this oil cup, walk thrice around this small temple and come to me. Not a drop should spill”. The coconut shell was full of oil, with upper-curvature holding extra oil above the edge, due to viscosity, molecular affinity etc. very tough to “hold” it without spillage. But narada had to “walk” thrice ๐Ÿ˜ญ. He “managed” somehow, without spilling a drop of oil. Vishnu asked”how many times did you CHANT my name while-walking around thrice?”..... Narada: “๐Ÿ˜ก nonsense. I had to focus 100% on the oil-cup, to avoid spilling. How can I chant???” Vishnu: EXACTLY…. That poor farmer managed to chant THRICE, despite his family burden, poverty, etc. isn't he the “better” devotee???”

Design of human life

 Any new gadget we sight upon, fascinates us at once and we get nudged from within to find out "what is this?, what is its purpose? How do we use it( in its best possible way?)?" etc.

When 2 look-a-likes in the story of "Prince & the pauper" exchanged places for a few days, that pauper"found" the "use" of the Royal-Seal as 'useful to crack nuts'!!! ( His perception had only a limited range).


Human life ...... Most sophisticated gadget EVER.  ๐Ÿ™ ( If this piece of 'life' doesn't fascinate us enough, we end up using it to "crack nuts'" only๐Ÿ˜œ)


Ancients of Bharat, decided to pass on the legacy of their prices less discoveries, related to Human form, its highest potential etc...

Therefore they summarised it in words ( & also transmitted it genetically, when they "saw" in their wisdom, that humans cannot be trusted upon for their "minds" whereas, they can do very little messing up, with their 'genes'). It is "thus" that our IRRELIGIOUS Hinduism got preserved in its "available" form.

Mahavakyas (4)

Prajรฑฤnam Brahma, 

Aham Brahmฤsmi,

For what?

 For what 

(purpose)?



๐Ÿ˜‚


Whether somebody is a philosopher or not, this question keeps occuring in our minds, aloud sometimes, and incessantly as a back-office-function.


We do try to seek answers, ……but compromise quite often with a mere response, which may not convince us as an “answer”๐Ÿ˜œ


Right from kid age, this question keeps nagging us. 

A kid has no “convincing” answer for questions like “for what, or why should I go to school, wear that “uniform”? .... “obey” what that fellow called”elder” dictates? Do that homework (just to make the “miss” happy?), while it does not matter to me personally/individually?


The kid “fails” to ask himself, “why/for what, should I PLAY?”( A few lazy kids simply ignore a chance to play, probably because those ‘elders’ find it more_suitable if the kid sits quite ๐Ÿ˜œ( less supervisory_nuisance.).


Once that kid gets arrested in its mind, into a thought that,  certain activities are just_there in the life, to be done without “asking” for_what/why of it. ( My “silly” question “why do humans_alone have to EARN for their food?”... doesn't reach the processor that assists the mind. Long ago, such questions are classified as ‘superfluous’. )


Purpose of “life”? ( Out of syllabus, long ago๐Ÿ˜œ…. Whereas, “for what is a SYLLABUS, for every damn_thing?” helps us to keep away from “for what—about everything else, other than basic_survival needs.”( For those, who don't have to bother about basics, it is just_fun all their life, with risks according to the money/muscle power!)


After retirement, “what NOW?” surfaces only in a rare few๐Ÿ˜œ( others have enough of unfulfilled desires, which bypassed the”what for?” ….very clandestinely!)



Emotions helps us to ‘get rid of’ the logical aspect of “what for” about our activities that we “choose” to do, without looking for answers.


Scope of “what for”?  It varies according to the ability to perceive the “next level of WHAT_FOR?(purpose).  Something like a better player in Chess, being able to think 2 moves ahead, for each_choice of his immediate move๐Ÿ˜œ. 


As a rare instance, the person called Shri Narendra Modi ( PM) recalled his_kid_age question “for whom do you LIVE?”( same question “what for”, looked_at, a bit more comprehensively๐Ÿ˜œ). He “took this question toooo_seriously in his life๐Ÿ™.  A “blanked out” phase of some 7 years in solitude ( as a spiritual seeker, under some Guru) occupies the chronology of his biography! His phase of life under the public glare( as a CM, then PM) evades even the best brains in politics and economics, about the_what_for of his actions which are highly unpredictable for all those around ๐Ÿ˜œ. 


At least, the “what for” of this blog might have occurred to a reader by now! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ 


Ancient Bharat gave more importance to “liberation” ( the ultimate one) than all the other possible answers to “what_for / why for?” questions ever_conceivable by a human mind ๐Ÿ™.  Subtlest form of matter, only next_to_nothingness, therefore forms the purpose, for the  pursuit of liberation from “what for?” The spirit that animates as life, within us๐Ÿ™. Spirituality deals with the spirit.  The whole ‘edifice’ leading towards the super-structure called “ultimate wisdom”( enlightenment) therefore, decisively answers the “what for” of life ๐Ÿ™ 


Ever for you,

SatSangh

 SatSangh, a desi concept ๐Ÿ˜œ


Effect of people around.
Classic example, of work place atmosphere.

While at Amravati,
Within my colleagues, we could notice a subtle difference amongst us, in terms of overall efficiency.

Mega surprise came to me, when I was sent to 'clearing house'( usually SBI conducts a meeting place in their premises) where a clerk from each bank brings cheques drawn on other banks, and takes back  from all others, cheques drawn on his bank.

We had to list out the total amount "owed" & "receivable" to & from each member bank.  Net amount is shown as "credit/debit" in each such sheet. SBI clerk lists the 'net' amount listed in each sheet in a summary sheet, adding it's own net as well.

If totalling etc is accurate,  that summary gets "balanced" ( give & take totals Match).

But, during "manual" accounting,  a perfect match is rare during the first attempt ๐Ÿ˜ฅ.

With 50,000 cheques changing hands/banks, few errors are inevitable!

here was the noticeable difference between clerks of different banks ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

The percentage of number of errors was very high among few banks, while very very low among few others.  There was an average level too among 80% of banks.

Any staff from my bank was among top 10% , for least/zero errors at any time. ( Work_culture NOURISHED the accuracy & efficiency!)

For me, this became a huge_source of LEARNING and a DIRECT EXPERIENCE, about the influence & impact of a sub_community within banking_community, on each person..... spending 6 to 8 hours a day for his entire "service" of 3 to 4 decades of job_for_salary ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

I could easily "see", that employees hailed from the same cross-section of citizens of society, belonging to different religions, castes and creed. And yet everyone benefited from a work_culture that is UNIQUE to each corporate entity๐Ÿ™ ( TATAs lead the way for decades, as far as work_culture is concerned. Only tiny businesses do better than TATAs, and might constitute less than one percent, AGGREGATELY)

if this 'concept' seems reasonable,   not_withstanding even_the mega evidence that a banker's clearing house has nothing to do with religion, caste, creed or politics(๐Ÿ˜œ),.....
then.....
It is easier to understand why,
IRRELIGIOUS Hinduism
Could_not_be wiped out,
Despite centuries of.....
invasions of ALL kinds, to demolish it, to wipe it out!

Secret:  ancient India/Bharat had geniuses ( spiritual giants called "rishis" ) who mastered the art of "embedded technology " and "Genetic engineering" and therefore could plant the software called Hinduism, into the genes-itself! ( They knew, 'minds' are not trustworthy....and therefore the_genes!!!๐Ÿ˜œ

Like it or not....
Carry & convey it through generations!
Yes, it is in a 'sleep mode' in the genes of today's Indians among majority of the citizens. At times, a few spiritually_evolved ones do_try and wake up the software in genes, and we see volcanic_flares of it here_&_there !

Worst thing about the carry_forward is, the souls too, carry this software as an insurance, in case an entire 'living genetic samples' get EXTERMINATED๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ

Hinduism is like a contagion, existing in 'cloud technology '  a figurative way of defining its perpetuity.

Perpetually yours,

Benchmark

 Benchmark 


A very irritating word, when we ourselves are ‘expected’ to touch or surpass it in that relevant field of human excellence.


As a kid, I used to be naturally tempted to vicariously teleport myself into far past times of the epic stories, like Ramayana, Mahabharat ๐Ÿ˜œ ( I used to “visualise” myself as a “kid-citizen” . I was such an idiot, I could have as_well visualized being at my dad's age!๐Ÿฅต. A constricted mind can visualise only_thus. Think_BIG wasn't in my Syllabus ๐Ÿ™)


The “support” system that I am receiving as a kid of the 20th century was dismal , when I looked at Ramayana/Mahabharat days. Between the 2, the name_itself suggested that Ramayana is a better choice ๐Ÿ˜œ. Mahabharat, the ‘title-itself’ is used today to denote a mega war, of words, even within families ๐Ÿคฃ. When a tiny speck of wisdom walked in, I discovered, “Ram rajya” is not-at-all about the “fellow called Rama”! His life was tragic๐Ÿ™๐Ÿคฃ …. The BENCHMARK set by the “society as a whole” was best๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™‚  A name was needed to “refer” to THE PEEPALS/people, of that_time….  Hence the tragic hero's name ( ofcourse, Rama is a character to be a ‘benchmark’ for going through ‘hell’ in our lives, and yet remain steady ๐Ÿ™)


Today,

Who is responsible for notching that “benchmark” a little higher? ( Was my_personal koschan/question ⁉️….. not worth, discussing this with ANYONE around me๐Ÿ˜ญ)

Then, I concluded….. “Let me keep doing my_best!”( That's all one can do, at any ‘given' point of time ๐Ÿ˜œ….


Not that, there are no_benchmarks in our society ๐Ÿ™. When my son decided to SHIFT to a ‘better’ เค‡school, after 7th, he asked for “plain trouble” ๐Ÿคฃ… His ‘ranking’ slid down to 11th or so! But he noticed that, the support from the “character" of his classmates was a much more valuable thing. The mere company (bla-bla between kids) replaced the “strain” of parenting CONSIDERABLY๐Ÿ™( ofcourse , I do have_to concede, our efforts till his 7th, started sprouting when nourishment was rich around).


As parents age, today…..the same ‘good & dutiful’ kids, now married, with kids, find it difficult to get_along with their aged oldies, under the_same_roof ๐Ÿคฃ….  Sense of gratitude, duty, ‘moral responsibility’ etc is still there,๐Ÿ™, but the ‘functionality' is sought_to_be from a ‘safe_distance’ only!๐Ÿ˜œ( Neither the oldies, nor their children BOTHERED about any “benchmark” in the relationship of this phase of life. It is only getting worse with each “next” generations!


Benchmark set by us, today …is a matter of personal choice!

( As a society, there are a ‘few’ samples still available. Israelis, as a nation,.... parsis, a microscopic community are an unreachable samples for others. I heard that Japanese are so_loyal to their employers, that, even 4 generations work under the same master, ignoring the lack of recognition, even in monetary terms!



Certain BENCHMARKS, can be carried_forward, as an ACHIEVEMENT ( even if we failed to ACCOMPLISH anything noteworthy, in this lifetime ๐Ÿ˜œ) Spiritual arena ๐Ÿ™….  I must concede, my pursuit of this spiritual benchmark was owing to my far_past! Difficult to ‘convince’ anyone. But, my experience says “by ruling out all other possibilities, far_past is the only-possibility”.


Usually,  the benchmark we set for ourselves, turns burdensome for worldly items of life….. tortuous for spiritual practices ๐Ÿ˜“…. but only till we transcend that “breaking-point”๐Ÿคฃ…. After that, it is joyous to live by that_benchmark.



BenchingLy yours,

Focus

 Focus


Not concentration. Just a focus.

A lens of a camera reflects a blurred image of its focal length doesn't match the distance between the camera and the object sought to be focused upon.


Our eyes are “short_sighted” if the focus of far away objects is blurred. 


A squint eyed person uses a slight tilt to improve the focus of the “pair” of the eyes, on an object.


An expert shooter closes one eye, only when a gadget called a gun, rifle or revolver can substitute for the lack of “judgement_of_depth” of the object, with just_one_eye!


Focus of our mind? ๐Ÿ˜› 

( Our mind itself is its yardstick, to measure it's own focus-quality! )


A true joke! 

I decided to bestow the best in me at that point of time, as a ‘gift’ to an youngster, who was close to me in many ways! Value addition was my objective, and I had decided to do my best_ever ๐Ÿ™

That youngster was going to face the first competitive exam of the life! Plus_two….. ironically, an exam designed to filter the qualified ones only, had turned itself, functionally, into a competitive one, to eliminate even the qualified ones, for the selectivity_criteria of next level of literacy called ‘graduation’. Number game. Higher cut-off marks, merit, etc.

Focus, as a quality of an examiner, became a decisive factor when slogging, hardwork etc was confined to the limitations of time called “24/7”.


I spoke for an hour and a half.

That youngster kept staring at me for the entire 1½ hours, hardly-even blinking the eyes. 

Later, soon after that youngster had left my house, my sister, a witness to the whole ‘drama’ let out a huge laughter and teased me saying “did you notice? Everything you said just passed above the head of your ‘victim’ . That youngster managed to keep the eyes riveted on you, without allowing anything you said to enter the head๐Ÿ˜œ!”

She was ๐Ÿ’ฏ % right! I could realise that! One of my ‘most miserable failures’, despite my best efforts. 

The whole night, I had to focus on my disappointment, to recoup my composure to normalcy. Next morning, I blogged that talk of previous evening to that youngster. As a rare gesture, ‘divinity' whom I address as “maya Madam” gifted me with unimaginable rewards for that blog. A total stranger read that blog years later, re-read it several times for a few days, testing it for its efficacy beyond doubt, to verify if it was this blog, which caused him to reach a state of being, where his mind was of no consequence at all ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜œ. He took another few years to tell me, about what my Blog did to him, describing his efforts to make sure that it wasn't any coincidence or chance( scientific reasoning stipulated “an element of REPITITIOUSNESS” for any experience to climb the ladder of postulate, theory, concept and law¡๐Ÿ˜œ). His hesitation was because he knew, that, what happened with him was unbelievable! But I assured him that I was quite familiar with that ‘phenomenon’, due to my years of spiritual practices and quest! ( I deliberately omitted mentioning the traditional name of that ‘state of being’ to afford him climb up further. That name might boost his ‘ego’. And ego stagnates any Spiritual growth ๐Ÿ™).



Anticlimax 

Defocused eyes, and a gaze into nothingNess, is a powerful tool, in the spiritual traditions of India that is Bharat, since the ancient times ๐Ÿ™. 


Please relax your “focus” if any by now ๐Ÿ™


Focusedly yours,

Teaching skills

 Teaching skills


For my personal understanding, I observed my teachers at school, and could notice that they can be classified into 3 broad categories. ( This type of classification has nothing to do with any popular, authentic, or official, kinds of classification. In fact the ‘best’ teacher as per my_personal imagination might NEVER fetch even a tiny speck of recognition….. forget about a “best teacher award”๐Ÿ˜‚



1)this teacher does just a job( for wages). Nothing more. If any student learns something, call it a lucky kid๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜œ

2)this teacher is a ‘bit’ concerned about whether a few atleast are able to understand. ( Reality is those few are anyway going to learn with or without a_teacher. Any batch of 50 kids will contain about 4 to 5 kids who learn a bit. This teacher can even ‘brag’ 20 years later that “these 5 were MY STUDENTS ๐Ÿ‘” , and these 5 will also ENDORSE this teacher ๐Ÿ˜œ. No mention about “why the other 45 remained dull”

3)My favourite type๐Ÿ™. These rare+few teachers feel “my responsibility to make sure, that kids learn”( salary is a mere CONSEQUENCE, not their only_purpose for teaching). They ask questions to randomly picked kids across the classroom, to “find out” whether they ‘taught' well? They repeat the lesson if 4 out of 6 kids are unable to answer. Each class is an “examination” for this teacher, whereas for their students, the exams are only 6 times an year. 



The teaching skills….. the way I see, is inversely proportional to the “level” of toughness of lessons ๐Ÿ™. ( An LKG teacher needs HIGHEST level of skills to teach 13 to 26 alphabets of English, 1 to 10 numerals, rhymes etc. A PhD teacher needs only GnawLedge, and has to give ‘bits’ of hint, about how to Gnaw bits of ledges of undiscovered forest of trees of knowledge…๐Ÿ˜œ)



My bad luck! I came to know, how worthless I was, when I agreed to Volunteer for providing ‘backup’ support to freshers who went through a basic a spiritual program. I was supposed to ‘show’ them the right way of doing certain spiritual practices. Over a period of more than 5 years , I experienced the ‘trials and tribulations ‘ of the ancient Guru's, who were setting rigorous standards for accepting a disciple. And I could ‘visualise’ the highest humanly possible levels of good_teaching skills required only_for spiritual teachers๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ญ

( The silver lining of my turbulent phase of volunteering was…. I formulated a guess_work of the ‘syllabus’ of ancient Gurukul ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™… 4 items in that syllabus, but it is treated as irrelevant today๐Ÿ‘)



Dumbly yours,

Inherited Karma

 Inherited Karma 


๐Ÿคฃ


Average minds of present day would ‘repel’ at the very mention of this phrase.


If the mind can afford to merely “look” , then understand, possibly_grasp, and only_then try to disagree, or agree, this phrase can serve a utilitarian purpose ๐Ÿ™



Did we not inherit our human frame?( We were not a dog, who approached an AI-enabled digitaly_driven 3-D factory to get our frame converted …..dog—>human !



Medically, we can also concede, inheriting certain chronic_type of dis-eases, or at least a vulnerability to it( weak heart/lungs/liver/pancreas/stomach….vital organs ๐Ÿ™


Karma? Not really a convincing item.

Look at affinity towards nervous stimulants like coffee, tea, tobacco, alcohol etc.  kids born of a lineage of addicts, will need more restraints than others, to keep_away from its temptations ๐Ÿ˜œ….  It's a ‘karma', which is a bit easy on our logical brains, to digest.


“Difficult to convince” category! Subtle but very strong.  Family traditions, languages, culture etc. A mother tongue has the ‘potential’ to creep_in, into a child ill-fated to be left at a foreign land, and lucky to visit the land of his biological parents after adulthood.


“More difficult to convince “ category….. acquired karma's, if strong enough , can permeate into the progeny to become an inherited karma๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™… genetic engineering ๐Ÿ™


A true kshatriya would need lesser intensity of training than a true Vysya ( say, an Agrawal, a dedicated business_community) …..when both these join army with the same age, in the same batch.

Again, a “true” Agarwal, even if illiterate, has a greater potential to prosper in running a business, than a well_groomed MBA gold medalist from other non_business community! Hardly any ‘beggars’ among Agarwals๐Ÿคฃ.    Here, the ‘Agarwals’ are morally OBLIGED to maintain_awareness(not mere remembering is enough) that….Shri Agrasen was a KING, not a businessMan๐Ÿ˜œ. He was enlightened, and hence CAPABLE of transfusing potential of Vysya-Dharma, a very sacred quality,  into his disciples/followers/progeny. 



“Toughest to get convinced”.....Acquired karma, sustaining for ages, is evidenced in the chants of a janeu_dhaari_pappu, recalling his rishi_lineage_roots, while seeking blessings from an ‘elderly’(+COMPETENT to bless–person ), after prostrating to him/her. Rishi might have been himself,  a shudra_caste by birth๐Ÿ˜œ. But he acquired spiritual karma lasting for eternity ๐Ÿ™


Acquired karma, sought to be infused( not transfusing), got SOPHISTICATED and came to be known as “nuptials” a ritual, done during a congenial time( nothing but “setting” lab_conditions for ‘seeding’ ๐Ÿ™).


“Initiation” is yet another classic example of “seeding” a subtle spiritual karma, into a fertile recipient, at a right time, after supplementing that recipient with sophisticated preparations for best_receptivity of the seeding. Hopefully, this seed_karma would bear the fruits of “highest human possibility”.



Kaarmically yours(๐Ÿ™),

Debugging

 Debugging 


A very crucial & vital component of any “functional” aspect of life. ( Once in a grave, it is a grave_situation๐Ÿ™ not the_time for debugging)


The whole process was given a comprehensive name, when a human mind “created” an intelligence that can “function” with least possible dependence on its ‘creator’. Self-learning machines, we know! It learns through refinement, a process involving debugging too๐Ÿคฃ



Human beings were trusted with ‘intelligence’ to learn on their own. They being a ‘superior’ variety of intellect, were endowed with capabilities to interact and network, like the intelligent networking of computers today, which are evolving(6 G right now)


Accepting of a ‘bug’ in our functionality is the first step, without which, debugging is superfluous ๐Ÿ˜œ.

In the ancient days, a better intelligence was responsible to debug a lesser one. Though ‘each individual’ was well_equipped to debug himself!


In a bank, since the “stock in trade” itself is money, every piece of paper is “money” ๐Ÿคฃ. It is “realising” this….that a structure was put in place to PERFORM a Q.A. of every transaction recorded by a clerk. Officers( better intelligence) check each voucher for Quality_Assurance๐Ÿ™. Debugging is a mere consequence thereafter.


Teachers (ideally, ought to–)use tests & examinations to assure themselves of their Quality_teachings reaching a student,  only as a supplement to their “real time” Q.A. in the class, WHILE teaching a new lesson.


A good chunk of routine still remains to be debugged in our life๐Ÿ˜ฅ 

Thought_proccesses are no_exceptions to the process of QA plus De-bugging ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜œ


I noticed a few cultures “recognising” this needs( QA & de-bugging)

Confession in Christianity is a precious aspect ( whether a person ascribes “due” reverence to it is subjective ๐Ÿ™)

In Hinduism, a very complex software was in place. And a bug-free program was constituted to do the de-bugging. Today, it is a disfunctional routine, like somebody “ritualistically” operating a light-switch, on and off, unaware of its purpose, and therefore ignorant of absence of electricity/bulb, doing the job of illumination ( pra-jothi-ayat) 

( Example: a lamp debugs ‘sins/errors’    เคฆीเคชो เคนเคฐเคคु เคฎे เคชाเคชं เคฆीเคชเคœ्เคฏोเคคिเคฐ्เคจเคฎोเคฝเคธ्เคคुเคคे

Link : https://shlokam.org/dipajyoti/  )



When the annual de-bugging became a disfunctional ritual( during renewal of a thread/UpaKarma), the women folk devised something like a ‘silent de-bugging’ known as sumangali_prarthana, which also has turned into a mere ornamental embellishment in a disfunctional ritual of switch turned on-off, to  fused bulbs๐Ÿ˜œ


Today, 

The ENTIRE software of QA & de-bugging, is constricted+ confined to earning Profit out of some remunerative_activity….. nothing to do with ‘evolving into a quality human‘ (only stray cases occur, where a ‘freak’ pursues it akin to reinventing_the_wheel ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿคฃ…)


A bug, I remain 

Yours๐Ÿ™

Silly doubts

 Sheer apprehension about 'how long can a blog be?'  persuaded me to shift to another page. ( Otherwise, my stupidity in asking silly questions to others might end only when I am brain-dead๐Ÿ˜ญ) earlier one was "silly questions"


1)we breathe (by default, unless we 'take a fancy for doing it CONSCIOUSLY)

Do our lungs actually say to air "Welcome, dear O² enriched air" or, does our lungs gasps for air, in dire_necessity?  

An asthmatic struggles only to inhale, why? If it were about elasticity, even exhalation needs a 'struggle' isn't it?( We squeeze out the toothpaste tube! Ah! Latest tubes are one_way elastic๐Ÿ˜œ like bribe_TAKERS. they struggle to give bribe willingly)

2)why is it that this phrase “inteligent choice” is used very rarely, now-a-days?( A negative Example ๐Ÿ˜ญ : in the banking industry, during 1995, bulk of employees & management, alike, chose the PF against Pension as a right_choice, paisa_wise๐Ÿ˜œ.  Later, wisdom dawned. Pension proved to be better. Both parties resisted against each other, about a “second time for CHOOSING”. A deal was struck for a price. Employees surrendered a FAT sum to opt for penShun๐Ÿ˜œ)

Does really the intellect NEEDS to be allowed to make an intelligent-choice, instead of our DEAR MIND?

3)why do we patronise, pamper and nourish “HURT”? ( Words CANNOT cause injury, except when it is hurled at us with authority+power, like a termination order, unjustified judgement by a judge etc…. )

Injuries are inevitable at physical level, but hurt is entirely our_creation, ain't it?๐Ÿ™

4)why don't we use the choice we have to ‘try' and transcend our basic defects?( Sorry, an irritant question this is๐Ÿ™).

A fisherman asked a saint, seeing that saint rescuing a scorpion the 3rd time, though it stung the very hand( of the saint that rescued! Pain of sting, the hand trembled, and scorpion fell into the flowing river……

The saint looked into the_innocence in the eyes of that poor fisherman and chose_to answer:”well, it is the nature of the scorpion to sting, and it is now in my nature to save. Both of us are acting according to our_own_nature” ( my take from this story: I CAN change even my embedded software ( basic nature), but I need to decide to try๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™)

5)why do we brand/label any question as “tough/out_of_syllabus/stupid/irrelevant/etc”….. just because we don't know the answers?

( I asked a B.Sc. with physics _main “can we find AC type of electricity occuring naturally?? And that person got angry๐Ÿ˜ญ…. Lightening is natural, not man_made and carries an electric charge of minimum 17000 volts๐Ÿ˜“….  Such natural AC? Wrong to ask?๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ฅ)

6) a quarrel-some doubt ๐Ÿง 

Why is it that both,    the deity himself and their devotees are a stark-contrast to each other, in their appearances, paraphernalia, rituals, display of grandeur, wealth etc? Shiva and Vishnu. ( the “why” of it is the irksome thing, not the agreement about the contrast! ๐Ÿ˜œ)

7)What kind of thoughts get rooted about us, in the minds of those with whom we interact in our life? ( If, there is a ‘belief’ in the perpetuity of some like “soul, atma, rooh, etc, that would also ‘carry’ such IMPRESSIONS about me, and accordingly, bless-or-curse me isn't it? ๐Ÿ˜œ) . Among all kinds of opinions, judgements, assessments, assumptions and presumptions etc about me, ONLY the Residues matter isn't it? Not the fleeting thoughts, of temporary relevance?

While alive, it is their thoughts about me which vibe around me๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜“, for good or bad๐Ÿ˜œ

8)what can be a “scientifically” valid reason, for being a very ETHICAL person in life?( Not quite an easy or simple answer. Why does it make sense ? how can it make sense, to “live” by values in life? 


“Dharma”, dhaarmic_life is a term popularised since times immemorial ๐Ÿ™. 

And today, look at the “nature” of the individuals who denounce Sanatan Dharma ๐Ÿ˜œ. Why are they irked by existence of those who choose to live a bit_ethically?  

Clarity can be ONLY via understanding about the scientific_utility/advantage of adherence to ethics. Advantage to exactly_WHO inside us? Body, organ called brain, fictional/subtle entity called mind/intellect, or, the subtlest fellow called “being”?)

9)Can we use discretion Judiciously, unless our sense of Discrimination has been used at its Best¿?( Judges in a court exercise discretion rarely, but we use it all our waking hours, unawares_probably๐Ÿ˜œ. Our thoughts?)

10) is it true that, the organ brain serves 2 masters? 1.requests from neuros, stomach etc, 2) mind's dictates ? 

If true, which is better? 1) overload the brain with our whimsical mind, or 2) prioritise the 'health' of our brain with 'some' sensibility in mind's commands to the poor brain?๐Ÿ˜œ

11) a junk_food item( any item, bajji, aaloo bonda, samosa, etc) dripping with oil, we eat holding it in our bare hands.

That oily palm, now needs a soap even, not just_water, to get rid of the smear of oil. 

Same item, from same palm of our hand doesn't leave even a ‘trace’ of oiliness inside our mouth ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ. Why?๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค” ( A very close person, hearing this ‘SILLY’ doubt from me, tried “saliva” ๐Ÿ˜‚ as answer. Only till I asked “, okay then, smear your Saliva liberally inside your palm and eat. Can you Guarantee that palm will be oil/grease smear_free?. )๐Ÿ™

12) why do ‘desi’ guys of ancient India respond even to a Sneeze by somebody around? 

The ‘hint’ is no_big secret ๐Ÿ˜‚

The phenomenon is a sacred thing, hence a secret๐Ÿ™

The ancients didn't miss EVEN a Sneeze, as a tool, towards the purpose of life๐Ÿ˜œ( howzzat!)

The west was a bit modest about ‘utilising’ the_sneeze; they merely murmur a ‘bless you’ to that ๐Ÿคง sneezer. Desi guys sophisticated it, being evolved, owing to the ‘hindu way of life ๐Ÿ™’ . Here in the south the response was a heavily_accentuated “Hari_hee!!!”. 

Isn't it a ‘silly doubt’ now? Now that we decided to discard the response_mechanism?

13) why do we end up, pampering our own children so much, that….the poor teacher Surely fails in teaching 'discipline’ ( which is the_most essential ingredient for learning)? The kid very_naturally looks at a teacher as a ‘very cruel ‘ person if that teacher gives excercises to do, homework, and such effective tools of learning???  

Are we not doing a same_side_goal???? ๐Ÿ˜œ

Paying fees for the teacher's salary, and the same time, putting HURDLES in the teacher's way ????

The JOKE is, even_that_teacher does the same thing with their_children๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

( Wrong koschan? )

14)why don't we get to see, women folk singing, while transplanting saplings of rice ( all kinds of garbage is viral on WhatsApp ๐Ÿ˜ณ)

I tried to tell my mind “why such silly koschans? What is in it for YOU?๐Ÿ˜ก”

My mind : hey bro…. Cool. Women singing, infuse positive Vibes, into the tender saplings. You benefit, not me, uuuuu rice-eater! And moreover, your addiction to U-rice( like U-pvc doors/pipes) is healthy.

My 'in-it' is….healthy mind in a healthy baadee/body๐Ÿคฃ”

My Quixotic mind, never-mind

๐Ÿ™

15)why don't they teach school kids about the nature of different subjects of science?

Today, I casually asked a techie, with 5 years of experience, “between physics and chemistry, which one is More abstract? (Abstract concepts need deeper focus and attention to learn, for a student ๐Ÿ™. Teacher ought to make them aware of how a subject is going to be! Maths, touches all aspects of human activity, hence it deserves dedicated learning)

Am I wrong ๐Ÿ™

๐Ÿ˜ฅ


16) (เคทोเคกเคถ) likely to irritate ‘only' those who believe in the efficacy of Sanskrit 'chant'/mantra ๐Ÿ™

Silly koschan : the priest/preceptor/Upadhyay/Purohit/vadhyar, who chants every syllable, in order to facilitate the gruhastha/yajamaan/doer of the rituals, doesn't get ‘affected’ either ways, if the chants are likely to ‘actualise’ it's purpose ( exampull: “I repeat a chant, invoking my dead father, after that guide prompts me. Of course, I specify my dad's name as well in few places. But what if his_dad too scrambles/huddles with his subtle presence as well?” ( Some way ought to be there to insulate the priest isn't it? Even in a temple, chants hardly “misfire” on the priest!๐Ÿ˜œ. ) This doubt is irrelevant, if the chants do_not adhere to the Quantum laws๐Ÿ™.

 17)Which of these 2 inside us decides our “wants and desires”, most of the times? Emotions or Logic? ๐Ÿ˜œ

( Common example: a girl is stubborn “I shall marry only Mr X , no one else” and there starts a whole movie, ending tragically or comically ๐Ÿคฃ…. )

18)a silly koschan/doubt.

I came to know, Mr X is an intellectual. I got a chance to meet him tomorrow ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ณ

My doubt : Would I need my_intellect( if any), or just my mind( an idiot, by_default๐Ÿ˜œ) would do….to re-cognise the “intellect” in Mr X??? ( I am confused due to the known “attributes” of a_mind, and an_intellect, correlated with my own experience of these 2, further komblikated/complicated by the fact that these 2 are intangible, despite being too_real/ surreal ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™)

19)why is it that most of the tablets prescribed by an MBBS is “after food”, whereas, ayurvedic items are often on empty stomach or atleast after the food gets well_digested? ( It's a highly technical matter๐Ÿ™. My wild guess: Ayurveda texts are different from all other types of medical sciences—-authors were Fully enlightened ๐Ÿ™…. Secondly, MBBS medicines are Chemicals, so mixing with chewed food is to ‘hoodwink’ the stomach trying to reject foreign objects, and somehow intrude into the blood stream๐Ÿ™….side_effects are inevitable, unlike ayurvedic medicine! Only a wise doctor among MBBS can tell us with a reliable reply. Ayurvedic physician, though needing a wisdom mandatorily for his profession, can afford to nod_safely this time ๐Ÿ˜œ)

20) Just imagine, if a powerful magician, before casting his spell, asks a couple “whose negative qualities should I CopyPaste on your spouse? You decide ๐Ÿ‘ Your life as a pair is going to be a consequence of your choice, hereafter,!” ( Original negatives will be deleted and the negatives of spouse will work. Positive will remain unchanged.

21) when do we become quite intense, CONSCIOUSLY? ๐Ÿ˜œ

( Kids below 3, are always very intense though unawares. They are not casual or serious about anything. We grown up's, are casual/careless when relaxed and we become tensed when serious in almost all situations. Intense when utterly relaxed has become an herculean task, needing complex Yoga programs and training ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜œ. As a kid, we were ‘naturally capable’ of relaxed_intensity๐Ÿ˜ฅ. Why did we lose this precious ability?๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”)

22) materialistically, an irrelevant koschan ( hence, read and forget ๐Ÿ™)

Do we “try” to notice in our kids, if this is really true? A traditional belief: on every star/nakshatra birth anniversary, the kid confronts some kind of dis-ease/disease…. usually a mild fever. 

Once the kid is above 3 yrs, such occurances become inconspicous, incrementally with age, meaning….a sharp, alert and aware oldie can still_perceive this discomfiture within himself, if willing ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜œ

Why this happens? Was out_of_syllabus for my elders, when I requested an answer. Now it's my turn to tickle the intellect of those who are genuinely interested ๐Ÿ™ ( bulk of us can ignore this koschan/question ๐Ÿ˜”)
23) Human beings are more precious than plastic, isn't it? ๐Ÿ™
Then, why did we reduce the meaning of a word "virgin" while applying for humans, whereas, the true broader meaning is still in vogue when we ask for a gadgets made from virgin-plastic at a shop? Broader sense of virginity in humans is irrelevant? ๐Ÿ˜ฅ
24) Silly, yet a sincere doubt ๐Ÿ™
By now, we the ‘mango peepals’( aam_aadmi, commoners) have ‘some’ idea about A.I. driven technology ๐Ÿ‘. Many astounding results are spurting from unexpected quarters. From Fake_news producers to sincere public welfare bodies, all are using the ‘intelligence’ in machines, A.I.
My doubt: why is nobody trying to find out how to CONSCIOUSLY make our own ( natural) intellect work/get invoked??? Normal parenting, school syllabus and workplace training, all the three ought to revive the ancient tools of invoking natural + human intellect, and derive its unfathomable power_resource isn't it??? ๐Ÿ™
( my own crude underdeveloped intellect tells me that, Right now, only a few spiritual programs happen to produce the results, and only as a by_product ๐Ÿ™. My humble question: “when does the intellect function?” failed to bypass the minds of the readers๐Ÿ˜ญ. For sure, a “mind” detests intellect, otherwise, we all have minds๐Ÿ˜œ, and intellect should have been accomodated in the mind๐Ÿ™)


25) I shouldn't be asking this doubt to everyone around. It pertains to only_those who are familiar with ‘Hindu way of initiation” ๐Ÿ™
Doubt: “why does the Guru who initiates a qualified candidate, stipulated that the initiate should never utter aloud the ‘key’( the mantra/chant) ever???” Actually , the_most_powerful chant, Gayatri_mantra is not at all a ‘secret’. There are stupid electronic devised to outsource the nuisance_of_our chanting it painstakingly ๐Ÿ˜›. ( It is ENTIRELY a different matter that—when an ‘initiate’, namely a janeuDhariPappu of today chants it, it is NO_LONGER_A_MANTRA๐Ÿ˜›๐Ÿ˜œ… It ‘becomes’ something much_much higher๐Ÿ™… even that is no_mystery, its a documented plus admissible evidence ๐Ÿ˜œ)
26) silly koschan yes! How much silly, I don't know ๐Ÿ˜ญ…. “Is it true that ONLY those who can Have thoughts + can react to it….will need a psychiatrist, if at all???”( If no thoughts wala creature , zero scope for psycho_disorders???๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”)
27)To which factor is our inability of sustenance( to sustain/hang_on to a desired goal) owing to? ๐Ÿค”

( Do we ‘wonder’ about it? As a kid, the inspiration to imitate a hero lasts only till we reach home. Our resolve to study ‘hard’ for school exams, gets postponed by just a day, but daily๐Ÿ˜œ. From ‘tomorrow’ surely! The deadlines become ‘serious’ only after 80% of time is lapsed! 80-20 ratio!!! Resolve to abstain from smoking, drinking etc is seldom respected by our nerves. We are punctual in renewing the same new year resolutions on every Jan 1st๐Ÿ‘.)
My case was different. Even before a language started functioning in my mind,( verbal thoughts, i mean) i was taken_over by spirituality ๐Ÿ˜ญ. So, i glided over learning, doing, etc without any resolve. Solved routine. Spiritual bijness seemed like a toy for a kid, to me. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ž
28) “How much of our waking hours of the day happens guided by basic concepts of life?” ( one may argue “well, i am aware of gravity laws while walking bekos i don't fall๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜œ”. Logically correct ๐Ÿ™, but its “muscle memory please” ๐Ÿ˜“. Muscles can't DISCRIMINATE a banana peel , and we may fall๐Ÿ˜œ. Honest response ๐Ÿ™ 
In my case, i look to living by the deepest concepts, the 4 MahaVakyas, and i don't mind waiting for a million lifetimes before i learn to ‘live by it’๐Ÿ‘.. worth trying each time, a million lifetimes ๐Ÿ˜œ)
time, a million lifetimes ๐Ÿ˜œ)
29) Can a person with Zero laziness become casual/take-it-for granted about doing things promptly? ( My doubt is because, an A.I. robot doesn't have laziness ๐Ÿ˜œ. It is never casual and doesn't have a take-for-granted attitude ๐Ÿ˜ณ)


30) silly doubt only for Hindu believers. Within them majority can read and forget ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™
“Why is it that the bulk of the boon-seekers of Brahma are maha_villains in the epic stories?”( Socially labelled as good, like us don't even visit/construct a brahma temple ๐Ÿ˜ฅ. Whereas, name “brahma” occurs in chants ๐Ÿ˜œ. )
For those who have a spiritual itch : Brahma heads the department of ‘creation’. We aam Aadmi need only the software called “creativity”! We don't create matter ๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ™… scientific view might lead us to the deeper SYMBOLISM??? ๐Ÿ˜œ…. just a friendly nudge, to provoke an itch ๐Ÿ™
31) a very silly doubt. ๐Ÿ™
Can you help me to DISCRIMINATE between the used/popular formats of these phrases? ๐Ÿ™ ( At least, enjoy reading this koschan/question? I will anyway resolve my doubts๐Ÿ˜œ)
a). I was CARRIED away by my emotions ( hence I was stupid in ‘some’ thoughts/words/deeds—confession, remorse etc)
b) I was STUCK into my stubborn logical mind(hence I was stupid in ‘some’ thoughts/words/deeds—confession, remorse etc)
c) My intellect FAILED to work(hence I was stupid in ‘some’ thoughts/words/deeds—confession, remorse etc)

Doubt: The words, ‘carried’, ‘stuck’, and 'failed’.... how do they happen to relate so_accurately, flawlessly, to the functionality of our minds aspect, as also the intellect which ‘fails’ to get invoked (when we ‘fail’ to provide it the ‘room’ to function????)

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™ I apologise for presenting my doubt, using a ‘negative’ situation of our_failures, instead of citing a positivity_filled one, simply because we commoners face more failures today, with ‘our’ dear_faculty of intellect (seemingly evading us๐Ÿ˜œ). The fact is, intellect neither Eludes nor Evades. It waits, humbly ๐Ÿ˜“
32) i make lots of wrong decisions/erroneous judgement/etc in life๐Ÿ˜ฅ. Maybe due to various reasons like insufficient data, defective/inadequate perception, constricted attention span etc. 
Doubt: is it my brain, mind or the 'intellect' that manufactures the "wrong"???? ๐Ÿคฃ... Whether to 'look' at this or not, is not just my choice alone๐Ÿ˜ญ. A wrong choice or not, is my problem ๐Ÿ™
33) Why is my mind so much defective about definition of “power”? ๐Ÿ˜ฅ… 1) When writing an examination, i use the scientific definition ( e.m.f, torque power, motor power, muscular power, etc).... 
 2)But in my real+daily life, 
When i hear “he is a powerful fellow”...
my mind whispers to be “dangerous ๐Ÿ‘… he abuses money power, goons power, political power, bribe_power, etc…you are a tiny insect before him☝️… Fear him!”

Double standards in_me ๐Ÿ˜ญ ???? 
34) Why did Drona (in Mahabharata) ask for the chopped thumb of Ekalavya as “fees”? ( Was it because, Drona was only an Aachaarya, and not yet a ‘GuRu’?? Why did ekalavya chop own thumb unresistingly? Was it because the idol_model of Drona out_performed as a Guru, and not a mere aacharya? ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™)... Do not try to answer from an emotional or logical mind๐Ÿ™, otherwise I will lose in asking itself๐Ÿ˜“, forget about a valid answer ๐Ÿ˜‚
35) Not safe for me to ‘ask’ ๐Ÿ™
These chants, scriptures, verses, shlokas, mantras of sandhyavandan, Vedic verses etc…. Today's experts memorize and chant well, and admiration pours in.
Are these meant for only chanting by heart?๐Ÿซฃ
School text, CopyPaste from memory fetches 99.99% , whereas copying from hidden notes fetches punishment ๐Ÿ˜œ. EXISTENTIALLY, both are same๐Ÿ˜ฅ, unless the contents FUNCTION in some way, in our lives( a soldier learns his training stuff damn well, since he ‘knows', his very survival is going to be decided by how well he “uses” the training stuff in a war.) 
Sanskrit chants? Rarely we get to hear if it triggered any life_experience. Even “yoga” postures, meditation varieties seem to barely impress. Chants stood the test_of_time๐Ÿ™ 3000 years-plus๐Ÿ™„. How is it possible that it gave merely a satisfaction of “i can chant well, and from memory”, only??? Any takers?๐Ÿ˜œ
36) if this silly doubt is un-understood, I am damn safe( from your anger_at_me ๐Ÿ˜œ)
“Do you experience life in_real_time, ‘live’ OR always/mostly, as a replay via thoughts only, which can be even just a milli-second old?”
( For me this is an ongoing koschan, except when I ‘need’ to be ‘very’ thoughtful ๐Ÿ˜ญ)
37) is it good for a medicine to get digested?( ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ณ ‘cause, when an ounce of castor oil fails to cause loose motions in me, as a kid of 8+ my mom used to growl “damn thing got digested in this rascal ๐Ÿ˜ก”..… and now Google maharaj confuses me with “Medicine gets ingested, but the term digested is usually incorrect for what happens to the drug itself”.... Any help?๐Ÿ˜ญ)
38) ๐Ÿค” why am I not aware of my age in my own dream? I am tempted to suspect, if my legs are gone tomorrow, and I dream next night, i might walk in that dream with_legs ๐Ÿ˜ณ. I don't know about others๐Ÿ™
39) When today's elders ‘bless’ very ritualistically, nothing seems to ‘happen’ , why???( Placing a palm on the other's head, begets only a touch experience at physicality only๐Ÿ˜ญ. Nothing else ๐Ÿ˜ฅ).
Is it because, blessings too need to be SELFLESS? ( peak levels of selflessness, taps spiritual energy?) Dunno ๐Ÿซช
40) silly koschan: why am I (knowingly) so_stupid??? 
My stupidity is my_problem alone ๐Ÿ™( readers can enjoy it๐Ÿ‘)
I am looking for guys much elder to me to appreciate and say “Hey, you are much better today than me, when i was 70+ like you, a decade ago ๐Ÿ‘”
Stupidity = such guys are either gone or too weak to grasp the Distinction ๐Ÿ˜ฅ. ( Youngsters are blindly admiring me( physical & mental faculties) only by comparing what they “saw”, not experienced it by themselves ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ฅ.
“Knowingly” stupid is like Duryodhana saying “i know Dharma & Adharma, but can't acquire the former nor give up the latter”....a lucky guy, to have known_himself so_thoroughly๐Ÿ‘
41) About ‘freedom' from someone, why am I thinking of a wrong example of a jailer instead of a ‘normal’ example of a prisoner ( like everybody with common sense thinks)???๐Ÿค”
My problem: Jailer is till retirement. He is accountable for escapees, for injuries, for mutual brawls, sickness, attendance, food etc of ‘each’ prisoner ๐Ÿ˜ญ. Whereas a prisoner, is ‘free’ from even_own_care inside๐Ÿ˜œ. Once set_free, a label sticks๐Ÿ˜ฅ. Jailer is ‘recruited’ for excellent character, skill, qualification etc, but exposed to ‘only NEGATIVES of All Kinds’๐Ÿ˜œ. Can he retain his positives when retiring?๐Ÿค”
A sanyasi? Free from even family bonds๐Ÿ˜œ(I celebrate when close relatives/friends ‘seek’ freedom from me ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿคฃ. I can focus more on my_inner-self exclusively of responseAbility towards those who get rid of me ๐Ÿ™)
42) why don't the Ayurvedic daaktars kindly _request( wrong phrase, grammatically ๐Ÿ™) their patients to chant a 2-liner sanskrit chant today????
( I remember, when i was a kid of 5, our ‘family vaidya’, a non-matriculate, asking us to chant something before gulping/applying any medicine ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ˜ณ.
If he was a senseless idiot, then what is “quantum physics” and Medical_jurisprudence doing in the syllabus of Ayurveda college as compulsory topics???)
43) Why did ancient rishis of Bharat ( supposed to mathematicians of the highest order) miss to conceive Algebra???
( I won't Pre_Judice you with my_answer, which I mentioned in one of my blogs ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™)
44)Can a person who is able to reach a meditative state at will, CONSCIOUSLY, be able to qualify to gain admission into a mental health home as an inmate?( Brain as an organ needs a neurosurgeon not a psychiatrist ๐Ÿ™).
45) Movie comedians are famous. Why are they INVARIABLY highly intelligent ALSO?( in real life)???
My tragedy is: even the rare few who call me intelligent are themselves unsure about it ๐Ÿ™ ( only a PhD can certify another fellow, except the first PhD ever๐Ÿ˜ญ)
46) If it is really worth uprooting ‘fear’(not cautiousness) in us totally, and becoming ‘free’/moksha, then , which would be our choice of personal ‘faith'?( Irreligious Hinduism persuades ways of getting rid of fear totally, via self_realisation. Genuine Hindus learn to Love God experiencing the Omnipresence, not to fear Him ๐Ÿ˜œ. All the others are a ‘religaire’, basically to keep the ‘flock together’! Blind faith Versus sensible choice ๐Ÿ™). My silly doubt is because, there's no ‘boss’ in irreligious Hinduism ๐Ÿ˜ญ, when even an atheist stands a greater chance for freedom/moksha/liberation ๐Ÿ˜ฅ
47)This might be an irritating koschan, though a silly one for Sure๐Ÿ‘
Is Bharat suffering MORE from the Side_effects of corruption, than the effects due to the corrupt ones themselves? ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™
( A few are very corrupt in every office, institution, organisation, and the 3 wings of gourmet —legislative, zoodiciary and admin…. The zeal and enthusiasm in the neutral guys, bulk majority of them, gets doused by the negativity they see in the corrupt. “Why should I be 100% loyal, sincere, hardworking etc?...to what end???” is their 100% genuine koschan ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿคฃ. Rare few ones remain untouched by the ‘side efforts’, and I was an idiot_enough to be untouched by EVEN the honesty in others๐Ÿ˜ญ, when I was ethical for my own personal reasons, private pursuit of spirituality ๐Ÿ˜ฅ and hence this doubt ๐Ÿ™)
48) Silly enough to ask thus : “why do we CONFINE ourselves to seek only ‘socially relevant” types of relationship? ( A human has innumerable potential to ‘relate’ oneself with everyone and everything around in several ways, kinds and types of relationship ๐Ÿ™. I restrain myself from citing real examples, lest it may end up enraging a reader's mind ๐Ÿ˜ฅ). 
49) I too respect Major Vikram ( ‘ye dil maange more’... Mortally wounded, but refuses to concede! Bravery ๐Ÿ™). But Bhishma was fatally wounded more. He refused to part away from the body till an auspicious time ๐Ÿ™. Why did he embrace the deepest death pain for so long???( he didn't reveal that_secret ๐Ÿ˜ฅ. I am scared to vocalise my guess_work ๐Ÿ™ )
50) highly ‘scientific’ brains decide to look deeper when they sight any phenomenon recurring for no apparent reason ๐Ÿ™. What if the teachers ask students to try a similar self_exploration when negativity keeps recurring in students?? ( Its a ‘tough’ assignment, agreed ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ™. Suggested questions: “why does comfort zone, laziness, escapism, sadism, deception etc tempt me too often, recurringly? ๐Ÿค”. It takes efforts to ‘avoid’ them๐Ÿ˜ญ”... Kids would need lesser monitoring ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ‘)

Handling Appreciation

{ A disclaimer:

This write up is PURELY for entertainment purpose.
A part of the narratives pertains to my experience.
Anybody, EVEN inadvertently/unawares/subconsciously lending any kind of concurrence to the concepts hereunder, does so ENTIRELY at his/her risk and responsibility.๐Ÿ˜”

The purpose of this disclaimer rests on the principles of 'negative-psychology' (whatever the hell, it is)}


Appreciation scares me a bit!

My phobia. Can't help!


Wrong appreciation, i knew what to do?  Just dump it, after making the 'right kind of noises' like "so kind of you, .... thank you....  kind of you"(bla-bla)...  it doesn't pertain to me . Simple!

Negative appreciation:  A bit dangerous , but am forewarned by the processor in me called "brain". By default, it invokes an embedded program/software "why was this in a negative style?(that appreciation) ....  And I instantly dismiss it . No further action needed.  Example: Once, i was asked to 'calculate' manually, the arrears of wages-revision, arising due to 'retrospective effect agreed upon. it entailed complex calculations, involving choosing of right 'formula' for components of basic-pay etc. in short, the probability of 'human error' was within some 5000 arithmatic calculations, using only primitive pocket calculators , 40 years ago. Errors are BOUND to creep in.  But the checking official replied to my query (sir, how many errors?) with a remark "I think, I couldn't CHECK PROPERLY. I didn't find any error ๐Ÿ˜ฐ" ( i knew......  negative appreciation!  I didn't have to emote.)


Positive and genuine appreciation:  Maha dangerous (for me! If it gets into my head, it turns counterproductive)

In one of my past births, 
I was a dog. 
a good breed (casteism by God, here ๐Ÿ˜Š)  
I was picked up and trained into a police dog ( that breed could sniff well)
An emotional bond grew between my Master (cop) and me!
one day, I decided to 'say a thank-you' , like humans.  He was stupified! But, he kept it secret.
He passed on a part of the appreciation he received for an investigation, keeping the cash-component with himself, but asked me privately : "Doggie, name a gift, and it is yours!๐Ÿ‘" 
I felt elated. Ego crept in me. I said "Master, you know I can sniff damn well, better than you-humans. why not gift me a 'quality' perfume?  If imported, still better ๐Ÿ‘Œ"
He gave it. He even helped me to get it sprayed all over my hairy body. Liberal dose.....  That day, I could-not-sniff the sweat, blood or any 'evidence' left behind by the CRIMINAL.  Zero productivity. That cursed/damn perfume kept dominating my 'sensitive' smelling glands in my nose.
I was demoted, sacked.  I became a 'street-dog'....

I woke up suddenly with a sad-jerk! (What? just a dream?  or is it that God-ji used one of his dubious ways of 'educating' me, about my past birth, and the precious lessons?.  dunno!)

But, I got my lesson :  Let not a genuine appreciation get into my head! Just move on! The other person is merely displaying his potential in recognizing merit. He evolves by acknowledging me.


Doggedly yours,

Magnanimity, an illusion

 Some good friend tried to appreciate me๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜ฅ


I think I ended up indirectly-discouraging him๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™( my-bad)


Quote 


[20/06, 9:39 am] friend : It shows your magnanimity๐Ÿ™





[20/06, 9:57 am] PSN: I agree ๐Ÿ™



( Magnanimity --or-- humility.....both are very "popular" qualities ๐Ÿ˜œ.... It can 'fetch' even -votes ๐Ÿ™...


So, netas "try" to show it. Nothing wrong ๐Ÿ™ it is marketing department, for survival)



But ....my 'personal' view is(,๐Ÿ™)...

Both are only consequences of some other qualities.

Like,

Cold is due to absence of heat

Darkness is due to ABSENCE of light.

Similarly, both these are due to Presence of 'few' other qualities ๐Ÿ™



Wretchedly yours,

psn(20 june, 2025)
