Selfishness, yes agreed, it's the root cause.


due to it have been the horrors perpetrated by man ,
on every pretext ,
religion, superstition, ritual, tradition, habit,
even spirituality. 

applying this wisdom in this present context of cow and bull,
cruelty can be eliminated if selfishness is rooted out 

so how to root out selfishness?
who can do this?
by what means, modes, methods?
how long it takes?

if readers have a solution, why not?
let's know?

' they are the pioneers, guides, leaders, trendsetters, path finders, torch bearers, but are very few and far between however, beings all are on the path of evolution, though some are slow, some fast, some straying, some stuck, some searching, some experimenting, however , all will rise to the supreme heights, sooner or later , sinceuniverse is designed to help all, to promote all , to elevate all, in the most optimum, most appropriate , ingenious wayssuccess is sure to follow as the day follows the night ."


"So my fond wish is that every one must strive best to evolve to the highest level of consciousness, earliest in life , so that heaven situation can be felt in earthly existence"



"Differences and inadequacies of perceptions are due to the inevitable differences in the levels of consciousness between the giver and receivermaster will be at the peak of consciousness and expresses the best, beautifully, truthfully ,magnificently where as the seeker being at lower level will not get the full importpandit ravisankar, star maestro says '' i point to the stars, but they look at my finger ''and this level difference has distorted the best essence of scriptures from time to time , leading to faulty grasp and wrong application"



"One such is Omar Khayyám:The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ,Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor WitShall lure it back to cancel half a Line,Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.they just write as per wish of supreme, and what they write just happen to be a truth undeletable"



"Prahlad was put to torture by his father"



"Yet, being the supreme's medium, jesus while being crucified was undaunted, he said '' Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.'' evolved souls some times get raw deal , even thukaram was not spared by the established priests"



"Spirituality is a heart to heart communication , direct ,straight, just truthso many saints lamented ''ye tumko samaj me na aaye to mai kya karoo,,,,,,,,''even rigved laments '' yasthan na veda kim richa karshyathi , what can the vedic wisdom accomplish for the one who does not know the reality lying beyond ''"



"At ultimate level of vision, there is no negativity veda---''thath sannidhau vaira tyaga ''--in the vicinity of divinity there is no negativity all beings, all levels of existence , 14 lokas , upper and lokas, all are part of the one whole , including devas, rakshasas,, kinnera, kimpurusha, gandharva, , all are striving to reach the goal of perfection, at their own pace, in their own chosen ways , in their inborn abilities''yath dwaare nikhila anilimpa parishath"



"Akkamahadevi , another mystique, skipped any wasteful arguments said '' if an idiot says that he jumped 10 mountains, it is better to accept ''


"Hence by passing all such lower forces, William Blake, one of unorthodox mystique poet said ''‘What is Grand is necessarily obscure to Weak men. That which can be made Explicit to the idiot is not worth my care. The Wisest of the Ancients considered what is not too explicit as the fittest for instruction because it rouses the faculties to act.’



"Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheard
Are sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd,Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:---so only a few who are able to hear --not by the sensual ear, --but by the superior inner ability to perceive can really hear and enjoy the sweeter ''unheard melodies '' sung by the mediums of supreme supreme really speaks and shares the silence"

The supreme's mediums are enigma to the lay publictheir message is rich , but only a few can fathom its mystery hence, some times they are treated as ''mad'' by the ignorant for example, i wonder how many can really understand mysterious poem like''Ode on a Grecian Urn''john keatsTHOU still unravish'd bride of quietness,Thou foster-child of Silence and slow Time,Sylvan historian, who canst thus expressA flowery tale more sweetly than our rhyme:What leaf-fringed legend haunts about thy shape5Of deities or mortals, or of both,In Tempe or the dales of Arcady?What men or gods are these? What maidens loth?What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape?What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?10Heard melodies are sweet, but those unheardAre sweeter; therefore, ye soft pipes, play on;Not to the sensual ear, but, more endear'd,Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave15Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,Though winning near the goal—yet, do not grieve;She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!20Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shedYour leaves, nor ever bid the Spring adieu;And, happy melodist, unwearièd,For ever piping songs for ever new;More happy love! more happy, happy love!25For ever warm and still to be enjoy'd,For ever panting, and for ever young;All breathing human passion far above,That leaves a heart high-sorrowful and cloy'd,A burning forehead, and a parching tongue.30Who are these coming to the sacrifice?To what green altar, O mysterious priest,Lead'st thou that heifer lowing at the skies,And all her silken flanks with garlands drest?What little town by river or sea-shore,35Or mountain-built with peaceful citadel,Is emptied of its folk, this pious morn?And, little town, thy streets for evermoreWill silent be; and not a soul, to tellWhy thou art desolate, can e'er return.40O Attic shape! fair attitude! with bredeOf marble men and maidens overwrought,With forest branches and the trodden weed;Thou, silent form! dost tease us out of thoughtAs doth eternity: Cold Pastoral!45When old age shall this generation waste,Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woeThan ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st,'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is allYe know on earth, and all ye need to know.'"

"Why he doubted by the words of Dhobi ? ''Our king might accept a wife who had stayed in another man’s home but not me ''– On hearing a washer man question the purity of the Queen of Ayodhya, Lord Ram decides to send a pregnant Mata Sita to the forest. Rama is the ideal king and for a modern reader this is heights of stupidity and absurdity. A modern reader would want Lord Ram to stand by his wife and defend her and not to fall for the irresponsible prattle of his foolish subjects. If Lord Ram had sent the washer man questioning the purity of Mata Sita to prison, he would be performing the duty of a husband. But will he be performing the duty of a King? Lord Ram could have beheaded the washer man on the spot. But will he be able behead all those people that questions the purity of Mata Sita. Lord Ram would have become a dictator! Would we worship such a Lord Ram today?"

 Do your Karma but | Faith And Rituals Blog on Speakingtree.inDo your Karma but ,


before that , 
certainly do think about the results, consequences, the reactions, the effects 
it is likely to produce in all its details, 
on oneself, on others and on environ 
in the long term, short term, 
and its link with the ultimate purpose of life..

every karma has its effect, 
hence, one must use all his best discretion before jumping to do, 
under the influence of lower tendencies, 
and save yourself from the evil consequences and save others too.

 The great souls will be teaching their great wisdom | Faith And Rituals Blog on Speakingtree.inThe great souls will be teaching their great wisdom gained after life long efforts, to really benefit the seeker, alas , seeker will not get the full import, rather gets the distorted message, missing the real gem of advice. the great soul points at the stars, but the seeker looks at his finger . no one soul has said action should be done thoughtlessly, as a victim of minds desires , but has advised us to develop the best discretion and self control so that every action of us results in the best possible results.


a musician will not sing recklessly without the effort to modulate the sound to go sweetest in to the hearts of the listener , even in to his own heart and like to see the great effect it produces

 Every rose is the same rose | Faith And Rituals Blog on Speakingtree.inEvery rose is the same rose, with the same beauty, fragrance, structure, smoothness


but each rose is unique in its own, no two roses are alike 
see what you want to see, the ubiquitous though , one rose flower, in all roses
or two unique roses, each excelling the other in every feature

There is choice

to be on surface , rejoicing in seeing the infinite variety--or

to be in bliss of deep samadhi, experiencing the one single unity, --and

to be enjoying the best of both , in perceiving the all pervading unity in the multiplicity

 


Which came first Veda or Vedanta?


Ridli Strap Replies to Rishi Vasanth

Pranams Rishiji,
Yes, very close to the point.
The question can be asked, "Which came first Veda or Vedanta?" Majority of experts will say Veda came first and Vedanta came at the end because 'antah' means end. Some even say, once you know Vedanta, Vedas can be ignored and forgotten.
What the majority do not know is that the Vedic scientists, when they attained the end did not abandon the beginning. They realized that the end can only be achieved by starting at the beginning; hence they revisited the Vedas which incidentally were shruti or 'heard' information and could not be ignored. There had to be an element of truth in it. What was that?
Tomorrow's homework 

Ridli sir, 

veda is knowledge
vedanta is the end of knowing process ie reaching a state of ''all knowing''

once this state is attained, one lives vedanta,
in this state , the single comprehensive folder containing all Vedas, ie all knowledge is owned by such an individual.

Such a rishi, with that ability gained, when he sees the world around, tries to understand thelife, in that light and accesses that ‘’total knowledge folder’’ and opens the most relevant files suiting to his purpose, and comes out with the chunks of vedic richas, ie vedic truths, that is how Vedas are created

So Vedanta is the first step
Veda is the result

Where as Vedanta is total knowledge, veda is parts of / patial details of that total knowledge,

Since he knows total, so for him, nothing else need to be known , he finds no use for parts
so for him all vedas become superfluous

 Learning –an obstruction for free expression?


the more i read, the more i remember, the more parrot i become


memory filled with cliches, hackneyed, phrases, idioms, giving an inadvertant impression that i am a learned fellow ,well read, fluent, stylish

–without revealing that i am a victim of my learning

there are plenty of expressions– my memory readily supplies , the moment i start penning a passage.

i want to convey a thing but i am distracted to convey a different thing

by the load of my vocabulary, phrases, quotes, episodes, similies, homilies,metaphors.

and secretely i get a satisfaction that i am writing nicely like a great author–which i never wanted to get.

in the process my point is lost or obscured.


i am just flabbergasted to see this phenomenon happening, and it is as if i am writing by habit , not originally

inebriated with the exuberance of my own verbocity, i tend to be a showman, a sales man of my scholarship , a curator , rather than , where i really wanted to become a creator.

jk wrote a book named ”freedom from the known”

how true it is

all my knowing has become a cage imprisonig my real being aspiring to be innovative to discover and present a new world to the readers

words creep in here , which are unnecessary and i should have used some originals.

expression should be precise to the point, purposeful, a productive endeaver.


how i wish i can be as orignal as i want to be!


extending the thought that our exposure to things around, people we come across, experiences we undergo ——-all leave their impressions, cluttering our being, making us behave as a trained monkey under the control of his master.


moment to moment we must watch and safeguard our original perfect nature from all tendencies–like how his father kept rishyashringa, isolated from all

and preserved his life to grow in to a chaste rishi who commanded the rains to shower in the kingdom

Saroj Das Rishivar;

While thinking about the Unthinkable....the mind resorts a 'thought-form' of its own. Renouncing that last 'single-thought' ..i abide in silence. The 'knowledge- absolute' , that the Atman is..., can not be known by any known methods of knowing.

Hari Om.

Ab Narayan

Ab Narayan Very true; But it seems it is much limited to Sub continent only. In the last 40 yrs have come across many many various people of more than 25 countries, and have observed it is much so in the people of sub continent only. Leading among them from top to down wise-- India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal. In the least (bottom) level is -- Japanese, next above them may US, then comes Germany, France, higher them is English. Canadians, France more or less same. Egypt and Pak more or less same. Arabs are more or less near with US, and their good educated are not bragging much. Also, there is an Other Side of the same. The nature that what is mentioned in the article is mostly happening with EXTROVERT PEOPLE, because they wish to give more priority for expressing their knowledge. And, in case of many INTROVERT intellectuals, when they think of saying or writing something they immediately feel that word/phrase which first flashed in their mind it might be appropriate, and think further and continue deleting in their own mind many more words, and finally they present a very appropriate word, though in the meantime they take time and become slow., but appropriate and up to the point. So, this balanced view and appropriate and up to the desired level only action in many people is the result of LEARNING/STUDIES IN US UNIVERSITIES, and also we can find WITH THE PEOPLE OF JAPAN. Thanks, and regards.

Vasanth Rv Ab Narayan sir, gratitude for sharing wonderful leads..............i am saving the passage for my reference.................................................i now can understand how the time and circumstances /events experiences have really taken away the ''natural piety'' of child and has stuffed his mind with consequent loads of information .................your observation on ''introvert'' ways of writing confirms the way how rishis have expressed great wisdom in their original way that too in the shortest expressions.................i now can now safely say that all the clutter is due to we lost track of our 'rishi sanskriti' , thanks and regards


Ab Narayan Very true. That is why our ancient rshis left the land (NADU) ans went to the forest to do severe penance (TAPASYAM) and gained higher JNAANODAYAM. So, why they went to forests?; Truly,as you said .. to be away from -- ' loads of information (unwanted!) , and to concentrate on true spirituality. Thank you so much; I highly appreciate about your great nobility of keenness to understand and accept the truth and keenness to know the true reasons behind the intellectual and dedicated strength of our ancient scholars and the rshies; And I feel so far no any scholars of any other culture (either Abrahamic religions, or any other) have shown such depth of knowledge, intellectuality and foresightedness as much, found in our ancient rshies. Thanks, and regards. Abn/-.
