we missed the art of living, 

poor but rich in humanism,

acquired the mart of living,

 rich but poor in humanism

   thought-power manifesting.

thoughts,aspirations of a number of citizens wishing for something better, more convenient, more comfortable, faster, safer, cleaner, more beautiful, newer--in every trip they made earlier---has culminated into awakening of higher powers, the govt,  to respond--like the prayers of a large number of bhakthas makes the bhagavan to respond and present the  fulfilment for their wishes.

gov ,like bhagavan, creates/identifies an action-agency like sridharan, and sends him to undertake the task, bestowing him with needed powers and supporting him  fully every moment.

he, a citizen,  chosen for his merit, charged with extraordinary powers proceeds to materialize the thought ,the concept into physical reality.

an example of the power of collective consciousness, synchronized thought power of mass.

vox populi, vox Dei , The voice of the people is the voice of God, [ leading to a conclusion that god is democratic?]

not always , he listens to people only if aiming at shreya, good--not to those who aim for preya,pleasurable----even if such are in large numbers, leading to another conclusion that a wrong thing asked by a majority should not be honoured by the govt .

people should rise to shreya , what is good-----not to prefer to --spit/urinate at such places--fallen  by preya --the convenient/easy-----this may take time, yet good will happen

   timely action, or reaction,  or

inaction turning into super action.

so a father so a son, among stars a  moon

father , a godfather, gone

son now an orphan

though with a million

all and sundry playing fun

 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

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.

dwells in house , windows and doors fully 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 fully 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, fully 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​nmindful 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

 internet-- a paradise to explore and learn

now internet is gnyanamurthi

information on every topic is available at the touch of finger tips

so nice, abundant, authentic, updated

interested can become a bahumukha, instantly,

web search is like god directly answering every question readily ,

with email reaching in minutes/seconds

e books, rather e library opening page by page

built in genius is at the hands of just minimum level ordinary browsers

even spinning a poem, or coining a quote is just easy

nice world it is with internet

But of course, it makes us dependent on it, sometimes addicted

has its cost benefit

one to decide one's need

in big hotel every item is available to cater to all we need only very few.

in my view, man requires more a simplest living , despite availability of infinite quantity of variety--to suit all in the world not made for one unique individual

akkamahadevi , see my blog , lived a great life, overcoming all the barest necessities including cloth food shelter, leading me to question the wisdom of our leaning on paraphernalia, a burden of sansara, and bandhana

this always checks me to maintain a distance at such things, and preserve my simplicity

i like to sleep on bare earth, walk barefoot take cold bath, live on uncooked food, 3 pairs of clothes, and sve time for dhyan and pranayam asans , and be with a few elevating slokas snging the glory of god and sleep and wake like birds by 7pm and 4 am, instea of being on internet/tv

it is alredy well past my sleep time .

log in as per god wish, but may not be till 1 july

good night

 Goddess parvathi is my mother, god maheshwara is my father

devotees of shiva are my kith and kin , the worlds-trio is my home town 

in this state , in which ''we are'' an experience of just being , we are the universe our existence is universal existence, all powerful, all knowing all pervading 

this definitey is subjective, but real to the one who experiences it, it really exists , it is human , not out of the way 

no objective tests can verify the veracity of the statements of saints like shankara 

and on a smaller scale, at our own individual existing levels each one's experience of the world is subjective per se , unique , private , though iit includaes the common items like sun moon earth, stars wind waters , the perceptions of their existence is subjective 

for wordsworth 

''my heart leaps up when i behold a rainbow in the sky 

but my heart or your heart may not leap up / in the same way as wordsworth's

   In spirituality we must distinguish 4 aspects we encounter

1 insights/cognitions
2 experiences
3 creative writing/artistic innovations
4 mystic expressions

1 insights/cognitions are the revelations of inner knowledge, universal

2 experiences come and go ,are person specific
We must come out from illusions of spiritual attainments based on ‘’experiences’’, like unusual visions apparitions /images/noises/messages/

coincidences, and resultant mixed feelings/emotions leading them to relate with bhakthi/ista devatha etc
,
3 creative writing /artistic expressions are the result of sharing the self realization in own special way , each trying to create a universe of one’s like

4 mystic expressions lead one to variety of interpretations, we must be careful
