simple living may have its intellectual advantages,

1 also has material advantages–time, resources wisely invested.

2 natural simplicity resultant to realization has all advantages,and is worthy of aspiring and attaining

TRUTH may grow in other fields too. (Rabeendranath; “If you close your mind against all errors, truth will be shut out.”)

this is wisdom . due to various reasons, errors are ignored/tolerated/sk​​ipped unnoticed/will often be seen and pointed out by others to cause embarrassment/should​​ be accepted and corrected as feedback thanking, instead of feeling bad–leading to possible refinement.

self assessment is best and worst depending on ego factor.

guided viveka may have the disadvantage of creating a closed mind, blocking the entry of truth, truth having innumerable aspects.

(Rabeendranath; “If you close your mind against all errors, truth will be shut out.”)

more on this

truth will be shut out–shows tagore dwells in house , windows and doors ****lly opened to receive truth as much as possible like plenty of air and sun rays flooding in—–yes, welcome, desirable and necessary to keep them ****lly open.

but ,i am for living in open, no-wall-universe, a real shanthinikethan, an open air university, to be in truth, to be living truth moment to moment, ****lly and ever. i create this private universe of mine, in which nothing is excluded, all possibilities within my reach, a state of total freedom bound by nothing –physical/mental–u​nmind****l of / not needing anything from outside/ from others. system totally tuned /trained with nature, no possibilities for any apashruthi, error-free, effortless, though me a speck of dust, but melted, merged to be one with the universe—-it is possible..joy

Simple living

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mohandas Gandhi spinning yarn in 1942. Gandhi believed in a life of simplicity and self-sufficiency.

Simple living encompasses a number of different voluntary practices to simplify one's lifestyle. These may include reducing one's possessions or increasing self-sufficiency, for example. Simple living may be characterized by individuals being satisfied with what they need rather than want.^[1][2] Although asceticismgenerally promotes living simply and refraining from luxury and indulgence, not all proponents of simple living are ascetics.^[3] Simple living is distinct from those living in forced poverty, as it is a voluntary lifestyle choice.

Adherents may choose simple living for a variety of personal reasons, such as spirituality, health, increase in 'quality time' for family and friends, reducing their personal ecological footprint, stress reduction, personal taste or frugality. Others cite socio-political goals aligned with the anti-consumerist movement, including conservation, degrowth, social justice,ethnic diversity and sustainable development.

Simple living can also be a reaction to materialism and conspicuous consumption. Thorstein Veblenhad denounced the materialistic society in The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899); Richard Greggcoined the term "voluntary simplicity" as one path to simple living, in The Value of Voluntary Simplicity (1936); E. F. Schumacher argued against the notion that "bigger is better" in Small Is Beautiful (1973); and Duane Elgin carried on the promotion of the simple life in Voluntary simplicity(1981)

  Cognitions

truth comes in through chunks of ‘experience’. And those are in ‘packages’;

truth , cognition, like a vedic richa [richo akshare parame vyoman......], each rishi cognizing a chunk, a packet—–

till absolute is gained all will be truth + untruth, in varying proportions.

absolute is gained by many in india, in the past, their life and expressions are proof

is gained also by a very very few in the past decades /centuries, though many did reach nearest

but glimpses of it can be experienced by everyone who learns to meditate, and progress depends on intensity of sadhana

 Mudra

r_a_j_ni takes me to a new field, ”mudra” with his sudden/unanticipated​​ movements/jerks and ‘gestures’, as if he diving deep and bringing out new gems and displaying, every opportunity of acting, he utilizing to the maximum extent, never a routine, not a dull, he satisfies some deepest unknown desires of the viewers , they not knowing what is happening inside them and inside him, some mystery revealed, some knots loosened. i doubt if he himself knows the happening phenomenon, unusual in any other actor

i quote From Wikipedia, -”-A mudrā (English: /muːˈdrɑː/ ( listen);Sanskrit: मुद्रा “seal”, “mark”, or “gesture“) is a symbolic or ritual gesture inHinduism and Buddhism.[1] While some mudrās involve the entire body, most are performed with the hands and ****ers. A mudrā is a spiritual gesture and an energetic seal of authenticity employed in the i****graphyand spiritual practice of Indian religions and traditions of Dharma andTaoism.

One hundred and eight mudras are used in regular Tantric rituals.[2]

In yoga, mudrās are used in conjunction with pranayama (yogic breathing exercises), generally while seated in Vajrasana pose, to stimulate different parts of the body involved with breathing and to affect the flow of pranain the body.

A brain research paper published in the National Academy of Sciences in November 2009, demonstrated that hand gestures stimulate the same regions of the brain as language ”unquote
