simplicity----why how

what is wrong with “High living and High Thinking?”

oh ,
this leads to the story of kaupeen sanyasi, intent on attaining moksha,[High Thinking]
went to forest, started sadhana,
he had retained only a kaupeen, langoti ,as an absolute necessity [simple living.]

he saw a rat biting it,
to solve it [high living], brought a cat,
to feed it, got a cow,
to maintain it, engaged a servant maid,
to manage her , married a woman,
to satisfy her ,begot children,
to maintain them ,he went to earn,
returned with money and things.
he never returned to sadhana, forgot forever the main aim ,moksha

For a starter, simplicity needs to be cultivated.
Story indicates the danger of distraction in the earlier days of sadhana,
rather on the path of sadhana, entangling one into unending circle of desire and fulfillment
creating obstructions for real progress, unaware.

despite high education, modern man is suffering, in a similar manner, strayed from the goal of mukthi

for realized soul, simplicity is a natural state, [akka mahadevi], no need of imposing ''dos and don'ts''

not every one who dons the kaashaya/kaupeena be assumed to be a realized soul.
they are on the path having tread more or less distance, and continuing the journey

akkamhadevi, vemana, —-rejected clothes even.

here to distinguish

1 organised simplicity, following a teaching, from viveka of teacher,
to reassess life’s needs and priorities to create space in life for sadhana towards moksha

2 resultant simplicity consequent to realization/moksha
student has to follow the teaching and do as told,
student has to not do /live as teacher does /lives
[simply, teacher telling,'' do as i say, not do as i do,''
''if you do as i say, one day you will be able to do/live as i do / live'']

the point is

1 human life has been on wrong track leaving no space for sadhana,
not heeding the viveka of the enlightened, and ending up in suffering, and

2 to show what glorious possibilities can bloom with realization ,
a natural state of ”no body consciousness” ,
needs becoming less and less,
system gaining the ultimate self sufficiency,
undependent on any thing for enjoying unlimited happiness,
knowledge blossoming , expression becoming artistic,
vision becoming all comprehensive,
gaining the ability of cognizing the unity amidst all variety,
maithri,karuna, muditha, upeksha overflowing ,
human living really a life of heaven on earth.

the lives of realized show the resultant simplicity to set living example as a result of sadhana,
providing a inspiration and a standard to aim at and expected.
Resultant of sadhana is the simplicity of akka, not imposed,
it is a natural state of evolution .
siva is one more higher example of utter simplicity---what a bhola!
does not need anything, and that is why he is eeshwar--the lord of all wealth

   paths

Straight ,curved ,zigzag, crossing,
circling, confusing, never ending,

high ways, byways,
thorny, stony

dead ends, jungles,
frogwells ,borewells

dangerous , risky
paths are infinite,

alternatives countless,
options open , superfluous

against life precious
but 100 y minus ,

diminishing every moment to reach death
one is free to be wise
and take guidance
or do blind grope, wait till death

it's one's choice,
wise or unwise

but results surely depend
on the right and the best

  why a new avatar ..........

.he changes avathaar like he changes dress
his fancy for fancy dress?

likes new designs
tailor made to his signs

not happy with one mathsya, his swimwear?
why he chose koorma, wearing it he is neither fast nor fair

hey varaha your taste is worst , 
better discard this tight fit, outdated outfit 

why do you become angry oh narasimha
don't threaten me, i know you are really not ugra

vaman, the undersized 
why that chatri oversized , 
when water cannot wet you

no use also your parasu, 
it cannot cut grass, it is blunt 
no use being angry, better go and grind it

rama you lack love, you have no likings
a king on the stage, but sita waited in the wings

flute is ok, but kishan you steal butter and butter like minds 
treating us as your cattle, you fight no battle

budh you meditated long but 
did not solve age disease or death

kalki you seem to be useless either 
creating solutions which create more problems
or keeping blind dumb and deaf

better throw all these old rags
go naked, no one laughs
none is there 
you are alone and one

 Karona

 Hey Karona ..ab mai kya karoon ?

….Karona kahtha hai Sunlo meri bath .

Snaan karona

Dhyan karona

Jap karona

Bhajan karona

Keerthan karona

Sumiran karona

Seva karona

Apne kaam karona

sahan karona

Maun se rahona

Tum Karo nakaro 

Mujhe maaloom hai kya kab karna

Sab theek hojayega apne aap

   Sky is the best costume, i like the most

not needing to search, nor to select ,
not to reject, nor to accept
not to bargain nor to gain
not to buy nor to sell
not to cut nor to stitch
Not to clean nor to wash
not to wet nor to dry
not to press, nor to mess
not to loose, nor to fuss

All other costumes are costly, scarce,
scanty, superfluous ,
waste, worst
they wear, tear , burst, burn,
soak, soil,
no sanctity, less beauty,
not plenty, less novelty
will not last, will get lost

  all traditionalists also must be exposed to logic maths science etc, to update them and to gain the ability to update modern thinking

You say you cannot explain any more on certain points. Possibly you mean, you rely on what you 'feel good'. But you cannot reason it out.  true,

1   i am testing my ability to answer ,inferring  my progress if any, resisting the temptation to refer books and authorities. so i end up reaching my limits 

2  subject has also limitation to intellectual treatment

My mind too tells that: the only standard we 'creatures' can rely on is, perhaps, “what we feel good”.

i said  approximately yes, appearances are deceptive, hence inferences can be too.

here my concept of rishi parishath[knowledge sharing] come relevant .in brief, no rishi can perceive reality totally, each rishi perceives an aspect of reality .

to know total ,each has to share their perceptions and receive others'

so one's perceptions even ****ut themselves can be wrong some times, i can not see by back

By continuous meditation we can refine ourselves to realize, without bias (ego?) as far as possible what we really feel.

very right. all perceptions become refined to give a closer to real picture

(Complete avoidance of ego of 'creatures' is possible with the annihilation /death/ of the 'creature')

ego to be understood right

ego is an aspect of personality , it expands, engulfs all, grows into ''aham brahmasmi''

if ego is killed, man is killed.

''human ego is the fountain head of progress'' ayn rand in her book ''the fountain head''

And that (refining oneself till there is a feeling that end of possible refinement has reached) to me is realization.

you may assume it as true, but realization is much more, far more than that feeling, i know you are referring that feeling in high regard. yet, i have to differ, stating again it is still approximate, realization is a matter at the level of  being, not at feeling level

Far from the traditional or the conventional realization....May be petty.

i object your word petty, your thinking has its own logic to convince you, you trying to figure it out to your ultimate capacity--remarkable​! i only say continue the investigation.

But, I am trying to aim at something practicable for a mortal man of 21st century.

21c men , some, ''meditate a few minutes and mind their business'' easiest and essential

need not change any thing, nor go back in times

I would rather like to go after the poetry you suggest.

i glanced at your writings, they are more poetic than prose, and i read your poetry sample also, definitely you are a poet, [no praise]

continue to flow, it is a good intellectual some times spiritual saadhana

But then, won't poetry too evolve?

very power****l question this.

i want to flow on this

i wrote,''by falling in to the stream of consciousness, a straw gained value infinite''

all  experiences, observations, memories, quotes, all good bad useless, are all the raw materials, for poet to construct a poem ,

his mind a slate clean

his imagination the pen

let the dictionary flow

let the alphabets glow

wait not f****morrow

in the dark shoot an arrow

poetry is

as deep the rishi is

when rishi is rooted in the field of infinite creativity,

his every utterance is a poetry.

an innovation and novelty

Tomorrow's MAY contain something better than yesterday's.

universe evolves every moment

you are a new man born just at this moment

to create  de novo you are meant

points of left out.

the food you serve has taste

the last morsel, the last grain no waste

we will continue, no haste

 yagna..life process

1 ‘’if souls are ajanma....then where they come from? How can something ajanma and has to go thru this merry go round janma after janma to get rid of agnana and arishad vargas of jeevathma?’’’’

….. life process is a process of yagna ,

soul is s fire in the homa kundam ,

prani's body is homa kundam 

fuel is food intake..

digestion is like burning

homam is the process of evolution from lower state to higher state

iron , calcium are inert

but when body consumes they become blood and bones, ie life substances

once the body’s capability reduces, it dies , but jeeva flame continues, it goes into new body

this is how life, death, life, death  cycle continues

sloka ‘’aham annam…..’’  ie I am food , when food is taken by me, the food becomes me … hence prani takes food , not once, but life long   

 , all lower bodies  gradually, by repeated rebirth ultimately become the fire that is soul ..hence births and deaths happen for bodies.. I quote ‘’Mahayagnam is one in which 'aham' buddhy is sacrified in chitagni - jeevatma merging with chit sakthy’’.
