Clarity in thoughts
That ‘half_way’ people….on their way to mental health home…. Probably, they serve as an example for lack of clarity. It is not about confusion, muddle of incoherent thoughts etc. These are mere consequences of lack of clarity.
We often forget to look at ignorance of a kid of say 2 years old. Even that kid displays indecisive signs jumping from one toy to another, when given a dozen toys at a time 😜
Three job offers at a time. Enough to snatch away the ‘peace of mind'. That youth forgets the torture of ‘no job’ till then 😂, a different kind of ‘no peace of mind’.
A buffalo well fed, looks utterly peaceful. Something very basic ! Only we humans ‘seek’ peace as if it is the Ultimate thing to achieve 😜
Spirituality starts only when a person is Atleast a bit peaceful 😂…. Reason is, we are trying to delve into something beyond our sensory levels of perception 🙏. Whatever ‘little’ peace dawns due to the mega_efforts( by whatever name, but related to the spirit within) gets translated into a better utilisation of the very same sensory levels of perception 😂. Clarity is related to each level of our perception, using and transcending the sensory levels!
I heard a small story which was meant to teach me how to perceive deeper. But later I realised its impact on clarity too😓🙏
A, a fellow lost his camel in a vast sandy desert. He asked every passerby, and those whom he met during the search.
One fellow B, asked this A…
1)is your camel blind in one eye? (Yes!!!)
2)is your camel with 1 tooth missing (yes! Yes! Yes!)
3)was your camel laden with sugar bags on one side & wheat grains on the other?( Yes+yes+yes !!!👍👍 replies ‘A’)
B says now “sorry, I didn't see your camel”
A is furious now. Such accurate details, impossible without ‘seeing’ the camel, surely he is bluffing.
A got dragged to a chieftain ( quasi-judicial Judge as well 😜, in those days)
Judge asked for justification of knowing such_details, Without having seen the camel 🤔
B explained ( to escape beheading): Sir, the grass on one side of a path near the small pool in the desert remained untouched. Only a partially blind camel would leave fresh tender grass untouched! The bitten grass leaves had a pattern of protruding bit, and only a missing tooth allows that bit to escape a ‘bite’. Ants were gathering around one side of the path, for the strewn sugar granules that fell, and now I got curious about counter_balancing weight of the other side of its hump_back and noticed the inconspicuously hiding wheat grains blending with colour of brown sand. I could “guess”/deduce…….only a camel that got away freedom from his master can leave such trails🙏
Story over!
Later, as an adult, I struggled to translate these skills of observation at my work place to ‘find out ‘ the culprit among thousands of ‘vouchers’ causing mismatch of balances among books of accounts 😓🙏🙏🙏. Normal ‘looking’ didn't work! Extra_vision was needed.
My experience:
Chanting incessantly “I am looking for a difference/error/mistake” was a huge hurdle to the very effort of ‘looking'. I should look for an error. But I can ‘see’/sight it only if I behold it to observe the subtle error, so as to perceive it with a sense of Discrimination used discretely with judiciousness! Clarity is needed. A calm , silent, or atleast a blank mind is needed!
A tiny story of a “Judge”( demonstrating excercise of discretion judiciously, using sense of Discrimination, when sensory levels of eyes+ears did_not_offer that_CLARITY 😜😂)
2 moms claimed a baby to be theirs!
Judge is kaanfused(confused! No DNA test in those days 🙏😭).
Long drawn arguments, only Adding to the confusion.
Ultimately, that Judge, a lucky fellow to afford clarity, hit on an idea, and said : cut the baby into 2 halves, give each half to both each👍
One mom implored 😭🙏🙏🙏 : please do not cut the baby. Let the other lady have the baby 🙏( at least, my baby remains Alive!)
Judge: this lady is the true Mom ! She is ready to sacrifice her claim in favour of the baby's life🙏
Clarity guides Wisdom trying to make its journey into my pint_sized tiny brain🙏.
( I was asked to wear glasses at 13. Short sight. I kept cleaning the lens oftener than necessary to ensure “clarity” of vision. Decades later, I realised that, lens can give only sight, not vision or insight😓. Now, I use glasses only when needed, since I am a retired fellow 😂. Enjoying the clarity to some extent, having worked hard for it all along! This ‘clarity’ to my utter surprise, affords me “time management” a bit effortlessly 🤔😥. Let me not complicate this Co-relation of clarity with time_management, involving realignment of priorities in a real_time_basis🙏👍. Youngsters have Outsourced it to A.I. technology, of late! I am stuck inextricably in my O.I.---organic intellect….or original??? Dunno!😓… Whatever 🙏😥)
Clearly yours,

Postscript: mercifully, this thought didn't ‘prelude’ my mind 🙏. It occurred only as a postscript!
“A blog about “clarity”, should atleast be_with some clarity, isn't it?😜”
I escaped this thought, which would have become a functional_hurdle in my blog, blocking clarity of my mind.
Now, it is a “worry” only for the reader, not me🙏😜.
