To The Best Of My Knowledge

 Good day, all!

                          This one is a different case as the case I try to give a different meaning to English words. The word meaning is okay, but I find the understanding and usage are a bit different in a way. First of all, I am not a nationalist(?). It had done enough harm to my country, as I did only menial work for my country, but it worked well for me. As I work on a ship that goes to various countries, all of them allowed me to embark on their land and had full freedom there. The only exception was Karachi in Pakistan which was a hostile place politically, particularly it was during the stand-off period after Kargil War. And it was quite acceptable from my point of view, as the arrangement was more for my own safety. So I belonged to the world than the country I am from, for all practical purposes.

                                  In my view, nationalism is supposed to work for the purpose of nation-building and should be contained within the nation itself. Once you are out of the country, I feel, it is better I leave my nationalism behind, for the good of all. This, these days are more prominent in the case of international events related to arts, sports, etc. where competitions amongst national representatives are held. Actually, I wanted and already posted another title called Arts and Sports to go in depth. But sportiveness is killed by the professionalism and these days anyone shows some sports spirit all media make it something viral. The same is the case when somebody returns a wallet or something precious. These are good deeds, just because bad deeds are plenty. These are just sane and humane things. Nothing great. If I remember right, olden days wherever people gather for any reason, there used to be a lost and found counter used to run alongside.

                                            But I still do not understand the border issues as far as India is concerned. How people belonging to enemy countries can work together peacefully, on a ship or some other part of the world. That means these wars are not citizen-based, but politically (I mean the shady version)motivated. 

                                   In these times, for any country, will it be humane to be proud? Or to be symbiotic is only for other beings and humans are exempted? Maybe I had already mentioned before somewhere, we are arrogantly after three non-existing values or value-less things, vis, Independence, freedom, and pride. Independence is not possible at a micro or macroscopic level. I got a hunch that Sanatana Dharma means justice will always be there, and if so laws also be there, and definitely no Utopia possible (and crimes also will be there). Apparently Sanathana Dharma in a says that injustice will be there at large until Dharma manages to destroy it or keep it under check. Sorry that I haven't gone into Vedas and Yugas of Hindu Mythology. All just plausibility from my vantage point. Any story can not be complete without an antagonist and the same about our life too) As long as laws are there your freedom is controlled, whether you follow your own laws or others'. Pride is very easy, what is there in this world for a human being to be proud of?

                 By the way, what I said above may be easily misunderstood, and actually, I may be an Indian to the core, than the nationalists I see around or passed away. I can never be proud, if I have a fair idea about India and it in a fanciful way, I feel that India was the epicenter of continental drift. Maybe the big bang occurred on earth, between the polytheists and the monotheists. Apparently, monotheists had won and I am not sure about Africa, but. I can tell you a story about when I purchased,  many years back from Amazon.in, a national flag aluminum sticker, and what I received noted that the orange and green colors were inverted and I can't stick it upside down as in the lower part it was embossed "INDIA". So I had some sticker sheets for automobiles and cut green and orange ones to size and stuck on the previous ones so that the issue is sorted out. Definitely, it cost me Rs 5 extra! Looked into the reviews of this item and so many Indians cried sedition and were even ready to sue Amazon. India pride is something like mushrooms, which pop up during Independence Day and like, and when some Indian origin person achieves something Internationally. And it breaks down, the moment someone, may be of ignorance, a flag is tied upside down. 

                                                                                        At this juncture, I should take the word self-esteem. After hearing SadhGuru I am quite confused about this word, as he says that this is a negative term. But I think this website clarifies it; https://www.differencebetween.com 

                 We basically lack self-esteem I feel and we look out to the world to accept us and definitely an indication of an inferiority complex. There are definitely valid and good reasons for this situation and as an Indian, I can not blame any of us or the world for it explanation has to be done on a higher strata, but from a layman's point of view, I should say due to leadership issue including reformers. Please understand that with the knowledge I have acquired, saying somebody was wrong doesn't mean that he was bad, but an intention and action mismatch. Definitely, those things were supposed to be happened, even though, you may call me superstitious.

Dear All, Good Day!

                                   This is another contraption, like my experiments with English words. charity is derived from the word love and anything out of love can not be considered as a favour. Also when someone provides food, shelter, clothes and education which all humans deserve and it is their right to have them. First of all, someone in society is deprived of them as we try to follow the science of economics, it is definitely against being symbiotic and a failure of society. In nature, the so-called supreme entity, humans are supposed to be the worst in building a society. which inherently should be most symbiotic. I used to argue with many foundations that they are not doing charity but a responsibility on behalf of lot many unheeding ones, or we ourselves without our awareness created a deficiency of such sort. Anyway, the science 'Humanity' have to look into this issue seriously. I do help a lot of people whom I find deserving or not, and I never consider it as a charity, on the other hand, I feel very happy that I somehow managed to do something for a fellow human being and that sense itself pays for the effort I have done. But at the same time, I may not help someone get the job, as he or she should get it by herself, which should make them elated with joy, than with my help they may feel obliged to me all along. Maybe all along I am Interpreting the word charity, but anyway that is the way people treat that word these days. Maybe reading Ayn Rand's Selfishness, the Greatest Virtue, may help.

 Good Day, all!

                          That doesn't mean they were bad. Maybe they were trapped by hard-core instigators. Let me start with Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, our own father of the nation. I know history can not be trusted,  but I am left with no option and anywhere I go wrong please do correct me. I am mostly following Wikipedia in this regard. From my point of view, he was quite fallible to investigators. We walked the street in front of my home when my father was less than 10 years, definitely led by instigators galore!

                                                             In the late 1920s, Muhammad Ali Jinnah asked for a separate land or place for Muslims where they can pray and feel safe also, but he was ignored by the top guns. But let me ask why they did that when a fellow Indian is feeling insecure in India,  they should forget about English and Kings and all and should have started working for removing that sense of insecurity in the large mass of Indians. Later on, when Gandhi proposed a non-violence form of attack, Jinnah walked out stating that it will cause political anarchy. I still do not know what sort of logical ability he had at that age, to foresee, what India is facing now. As I had mentioned somewhere before that, you will kill yourself to your enemy, which should make him very happy, as his arms are not going to get stained. This will work only between people having empathetic relationships and not with the opposition. This is the only logic I could reach and not really very much valid, but Jinnah said something really substantial is happening around me and going to continue, and reins are being put now, I feel. Any way India never got freedom, got partitioned into two and later into three. 

His proposition to dissolve Indian National Congress after independence too never worked. In my view, all parties in democracy should be dissolved after every election and already members are there to deal with the ruling? (Governing) and authority should be there for the majority to execute the decisions, nothing should be taken to the streets which definitely considers with what Jinnah said! Presently if I say India is the root of all terrorist activities, can anyone object. Separatism, sycophancy, favouritism and many other manures are needed all here. No religion is also present in the forefront. Religions are the most important aspect in the bringing up of a moralistic society I can't see any religion here as secularism had killed them!

                              India was never an unsecular country and that is why in comparison it had to spell it out. Stupid cover-up, but! I am talking about present India after the so-called Independence. Or rather we were more unsecular before independence. 

                            About the story of Gandhi being pushed out of the train in Soth Africa, there are a few mismatches as to how he managed to get a first-class ticket if against law/ practice there. Even when he was pushed out he could look at only the skin colour, not the look at their eyes and see what is making them do such an inhuman act. Anyway organizing seemingly troubled people can end in a mishap like the Marx-Angels combination and many other people have tried. To me, Gandhi was more of a war-monger and I know I am being blasphemous to the core. And no US now to seek asylum for me!

                          The worst thing was that pre-independence all went to Britain for studies, particularly law and they all had exposure to other countries. After August 15th doors were closed and India was no more a part of the world; they said it will help us to become more independent! I found it a stupid argument. By the way, studying in the UK and coming back here and working against them was a treacherous thing to do. I studied in two colleges set up primarily by the Kings of Kerala, and in their site earlier it was written that the idea was to learn English and beat the English in it. It looked like taking a knife from someone and the facilities and then using it to nab him. Only English can teach you English and you may beat another English man but theoretically, you can never beat your language tutor. In sports particularly, cricket we are doing it well and I agree much. 

               Maybe it is my imagination running wild, but the whole Drama of Indian Independence was for the English to leave this extremely hostile land with respect and whatever they did was to bring out the worst of India together fast and some good people may be able to do the necessary corrective action. As I said before, Moses and Abraham Lincoln may have to turn over in their graves. I still prefer to be here even though I have estranged many in my profession, here in India. That I too am a reformist and onboard I work for the owner as I had been trained. Anyway without the owner all other entities collapse. May the owner can be a government but still owner is there. You may notice that no ship can trade following the rules laid down by stupid entities like flag state and port state and the great abominable IMO all the time. And with a Chief Engineer and Master onboard, how can a surveyor, with more or less the same qualifications, board and find out non-conformities. It is imperative that these faults were hidden by them or they should be dismissed from their duties for incompetence. Mostly flag state and port state officials are previous sailors and while sailing they hide things for the owner and the moment role changes they go against the ship and owner vehemently. Anyway, I got diverted and let me pen something more. Many seafarers think that safety is life-saving equipment. But to me, the utmost safety is the ship as a whole except for the lifesaving and firefighting equipment. I am talking about normal cargo ships and not special-purpose vessels. My basic concern is to prevent the occurrence of contingencies and take calculated risks when total safety can not be ensured. This is the reason why I don't care for the seatbelt, airbags and Anti-Blockier systeme as if I am in total control and vigilant while driving the above-said items are mostly for sleep drivers or incompetent and absent-minded sort. Also, note that Murphy's laws are applicable to these and can put you in a more dangerous situation than it actually is. Similarly, I will have to take chances if one of my standby machinery failed and is beyond repair with available resources onboard. Logistics issues may cause the repair to complete quite late and in that case, I will have to take an assessed risk and keep the ship running. As it is I do go to Sea as I don't care to die, but avoid dying as much as possible. During my training, I was told that there is a priority matrix to be followed for taking decisions in critical situations, comprising of Engine, Life, Cargo and Hull. Later on, Environment was also added. The correct sequence is Life, Environment, Cargon, Hull, and Engine. So Engine is the last one and it is not fully a commercial solution, even though it apparently looks like and very much logical sequence. In my life, I had to use it once and avoided a collision at Hodaida in Yemen and I feel very happy about it.   And More on this later and other social reformers. As I put in one of my posts lot of reform needs to be done on me than other but reform the word itself have so many meaning depending on the path you have chosen... 

Another PS. 1. By the way I haven't read or rather read only few pages of Gandhi's My Experiments with the truth and stopped as his understanding of the word truth is entirely different from my definition. 

2. I never tried to See Richard Attenborough's movie as I never had the patience and as it may confuse me more.

Good day, All!

Dear All, Good day! 

 Dear All, good day!

                                   I sincerely doubt whether I will know when I reach or have arrived; this way or that way! And no guiding maps are available in this case! This may be considered a continuation of my last post, even though the title looks a little bit absurd. I think I have put myself in a precarious position by writing this much so far, with so much needing to be written to complete most of the topics. The title I have chosen now makes things even worse. I do not know how to start or end this and how to follow a legible sequence all the way. Anyway, let me have a try. Please keep in mind that the title of this blog remains valid for all I write, as everything is based on the knowledge I have acquired. I haven't read all that is written and available, never heard all that is said, and so on.

                                                       As I can remember, every time I use Google Maps and reach where I was heading, it says ' you have reached your destination". But to me, it was just a place I wanted to reach. My destination in life for quite some time is death, and I am not in a hurry to reach that. Or it really doesn't matter and nothing is pessimistic about this thought. I know it may cause a lot of physical pain and discomfort, which I disdain. Particularly being a sailor, who doesn't know swimming too, death by drowning and/or hypothermia may be the worst. Frankly speaking, I am not afraid of death, but I take utmost care not to get physically hurt, which should evade death. I smoke, just because I am damn sure that it is not going to cause anything malignant to me, and I can tell a bit more about this at some other time. Driving rashly was another thing that could have made me reach my destination earlier, but then I take best to nothing untoward happen. I used to drink earlier, but it used to make me soberer, and if you consider the drunks here, it was just a waste of money for me! Whatever the case, the most daunting question is whether I will know I am dead, or is it be a total obliteration! Anyway, I am still trying to get hold of a story about a land where deaths are never mourned (Even here in other south Indian states, they frolic, literally during a funeral ceremony, but I can not say that is a truthful one). I believe it is from Stories Of Five Decades by Herman Hesse, and the only thing in that place people do is place flowers on the ground after burial. The story is about a death, which occurred when there were no flowers available in the whole state.

        Now, the most crucial part is death; earlier I started the title about death being a myth. Yes, it is a myth. I haven't heard anyone coming back after death and saying what it is. When someone dies we lose him and we consider that he also loses his presence in this world, which is quite true, definitely from our point of view. Now let us consider the case of sleep. When we sleep(don't consider the stages of sleep etc as they are only for the researchers) our conscious self becomes unaware of this world and the sub(!)conscious self remains and keeps the body ready for the conscious self to wake up, either normally, or under any disturbances. Forget about the dreams. In the case of death, the conscious self and the subconscious self vanishes and the body itself will disintegrate, or we may have to cremate it. Present-day science and many people including me like to see death as an eternal sleep. Now the exception is the religions with heaven and hell or the three worlds or twice seven, fourteen worlds as Hinduism says. By the way, all these are assumptions or conclusions reached with the logical ability each had. None can be proved right now as far as I know. The religious ones can not be proven may be because necessary scriptures and people of ability are no more, apparently. Setting up death as my destination is just that, I find this life as a walk(no, not a race) and all so-called goal turns out to be temporary and you still have to keep on going. I just hope that death will put an end to this. No,  I am not sick of life, or rather I enjoy it well, even though the downs were too deep than the ups. Or I just like to maintain the status quo. Without seeking money, power, or fame, I look more like an aimless guy. Am I a truth seeker? I think I should utilize the next paragraph for the terms science and knowledge!

                                                     I do not know, maybe I am wrong in redefining the words in English. I have earlier said that ignorance is not a lack of knowledge but ignoring things, situations, people, etc which eventually leads to a lack of knowledge, and that way and only that way it will become a crime. Also, I feel that independence, freedom, and pride, which are the favorites in this part of the world, are either invalid or bad traits. Nothing in this world can be independent, only the nature of dependence may vary. Freedom is a no, no, thing as some sort of law is applicable to all, even a criminal. Maybe the Sanathana Dharma in Hinduism also specifies this. As far as I know, Dharma is justice, which is rooted in the laws, and the phrase may mean that the laws will remain forever for humans. I don't know. And pride, I still haven't found anything humans had ever done to feel proud of. Even if something makes you proud, it definitely will be short-lived. Now coming to the point, we humans are generally a proud lot. We do a lot of things that no other living doing, forget the non-living. We say we think! And we think nobody/nothing else thinks or thinks as much as we think. Forget the silly conquests by Emperors, but we think to conquer the earth and the whole universe and apparently, we almost reached there! And science is our weapon. And I think it is quite potent now and I just don't know its true potential, but as far as I can see all its capabilities are revealed to the public and now it is more like wartime; good versus evil maybe. Science, the word derived from 'sci' the root word of knowledge, and knowledge is basically derived from the thought process. The Hindu derivative of the word human means the one who thinks/can think. Let me continue with this in the next paragraph as this one seems to be already too long.

                                                        I may note down a few things which I adhere to all along, as below, even though I was not really conscious of them at an early age.

1. The term relativity: Of all the people I have heard of or come across, I think Albert Einstein is the most prominent one. I agree that I am not having a clear picture of his life or his contribution to today's science, but I was attracted by the title of the book, "The World as I see it" and the theory of relativity. I managed to procure a concise version of the book, which I could only flip through and it never went deeply into the mathematical formulae of the theory of relativity. But what I am trying to do, with this blog is to give a picture of what I see. Nothing concrete and only possibilities and it is like showing some light on some aspects, which may be helpful to some.

fear of death, 

Let there be zero

helpful materialistic science

The goal justifies the path 

word relativity

To know that humans and animals are equally inferior, and humans are worse, maybe!

Science redefined, everything is science

Logical thinkers against religion

                                                         Let me refer to my earlier post named "Archimedes Principle", where I mentioned the lyrics of a song by Alan Parsons' Project based on Edgar Alan Poe's poem, which said about some fancies, which are born when bodily and mental health are at their perfection.

To complete this skeleton!

Good day, All!

 Good Day, All! 

 Good Day, All!

                        Defining work also, is not very easy. I had seen, during my pre-sea training at the HindustanShipyard Limited, Visakhapatnam, in the electric arc welding workshop someone welded on "Work Is Worship". This really affected me very much, even though, I was not really in a working mode then..

More on cams and followers later. But the analogy looks quite funny to me.

Good Day, All!

It is not that you are going to die one day and lose your life, but life is lurking outside somewhere to take you at an appropriate time set by it. So, it is your call now! Start running!

Good Day, All!

                          This is what SadhGuru's video about Marpa-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oi7eLmaL1DU and the period is 8th minute to 9th minute where he tells the part I am talking about. In my profession also after we join a ship we work may be only say 8 to 12 hours a day, but we may be called anytime during the rest hours also if any contingency occurs and people available on duty need more hands to take care of the situation and for the last 26 years I work in the management level and chances of being called off-hours were quite common. So it is literally 24x7 and, apparently, sleeping in a shed in the workplace itself. But the advantage(to me it may be considered a mixed-up one) is that while on leave or rather off-hire, after leaving the permanent roster of The Shipping Corporation Of India, you are free to do anything. Say 24x7 free time. To read, to watch movies, to socialize ( My duality allowed me to do it, even though I was not actually sociable within, as I said earlier, divided I stand principle!)

                                                                                           This is quite a similar situation to what Milarepa had faced; spending all your time seeking Dhamma and even other stupid things. By the way, I was never lecherous. Drinking used to make me soberer and literally a waste of money in case I had to pay for it. By the way, I am not into autobiography, or rather I do not believe in such a thing, as I don't think anyone can leave his life as an open book, where it itself is a mystery to himself!

To continue, if I think of adding anything...

Good day, All!

By the way, it seems that I have to do a bit of study on the US dollar bill!

Good Day, All!

                          Because the actual situation may not be known to me, an ordinary man. But the efforts by the USA (even though as policing), I feel was more effective. Contrary to an official and politically formed UN, many other countries also informally join the USA for the same purpose. These are my observations from the early '80s, particularly after being introduced to English music, rather than the movies or books. Grammy and American musical awards were the main focus points those days. I should thank my eldest brother, Mathew for creating this platform for me. The sincerity behind the song "We Are the World" was really unquestionable, but the effect based on charity service was quite or nearly ineffective, considering the target to be achieved. I do not know whether I have mentioned earlier, but poverty is always misunderstood. You lack something you really need is considered poverty and it is entirely understood. But here I see a lot of people who seek something better and more expensive, being literally snobbish. I am not actually against snobbery (a by-product of jealousy), at this stage as it feeds the world, better than any so-called good qualities and charity-based systems. It is read that Steve Jobs said that people can live on basic things and have no need to go for luxury. He himself had created the Apple thing, became an Icon and for a long on luxury business used to feed the world and lead many wars.

                                           The UN concept is a misnomer and was started by (?stupid) people who were too optimistic and euphoric. Even now the formation of the nations is not complete and hardly any changes in the developing/ developed nations list. I think it all started like an 'Alice in Wonderland' situation. Anyway, I can't say that things were too bad, or undo anything, as if things are in shipshape how can a blog writer spend his time. Response or reaction from my side may cause harm to me and not do any good to the world, looking at all the great people six feet under. Time is the healer and let it do its job. By the way, I am only on a relative platform and talking about the world as I see it around me (with due respect to Albert Einstein). I may be taking up the update of the Introductory title I published earlier, which may give better clarity on the scenario I am in.

To continue...

Good Day, All!

Business as usual, Yet to start!

Good day, All!

Hope I will live enough to take up all these titles!

Best regards,

George A P.

 Good Day, All!

Prologue;

1. Limitations of the human languages with the script (I can't say much about them without script) as they are only approximations and they must be the first science stream humans invented. 

This a tough one and definitely there will be further updates added to the introduction, which anyway shall be understood easily unless the language (I use, or all the human languages in general!) I adapt.

Let me tell you something, it is normally said that If you want to learn more, you better start teaching! Same I found applicable here that by starting to write, I came to know how much I do not know. And as I said earlier, so much had been written and so told or sung or shown I find it very weak to get into this territory and am with a fearful heart. Definitely, the heart is the heart of the matter than the brain, I feel! 

Now the name of this blog was chosen because (I think) after joining sea life all the time I had to sign a statement on my part, it was always included before my signature that the above-said details are true to the best of my knowledge. This made me confused because all that is written is true only and anyway later I realized that from my date of birth to my name to so many other things are made to be believed, then, I know them in the right way. But, later I realized that everything is that way, as the relativity thing caught up with me; or rather I caught up with it. As I said earlier, somewhere, please forget E=MC2 as we have so much energy here and global warming is on!

And the short description is given as "world and me within or me and the world within" is more like fanciful thought like what Alan Parson's Project song "Dream Within a Dream" introduction part. This thought stuck with me from my short-term free lessons given by a true teacher of mine on logical thinking and Hinduism, till he died. My way of relative thinking also helped in this regard but made my life miserable to the core as relativity asks you to be confused all the time and seldom makes you take decisions, maybe only the best part of it. Actually making decisions are not really difficult, but to stay on to make sure unforeseen difficulties are taken care of and retract the full team in case of a defect is unrepairable in the initial decision. I did not get the free Blogspot address as it was taken already and I wanted this to be my name so I had to buy one suggested by the Google domain.

The next one is the titles I use for my posts. Initially, once I started writing I made many drafts, with only titles, which would help me exactly what I wanted to write, as my memory is not very good. Finally, I got a job in my original and only profession and I decided to publish all these titles so that any readers who stumble upon them may get a rough idea about what I may be thinking. As around 20 years back, while working on a ship called MSC Amsterdam, I told my chief engineer that if I blurt out everything I know, all the people may come against me. So I decided not to put any tags at all to lead people here to my site. I got motivated by a Keralite woman's blog and I copied a lot from that site. I got a skeleton from Etzy and as do-it-yourself crazy, I did a few modifications with no previous knowledge, and thanks to a lot many people on the net. Then I found that whatever I write is going to be only a few paragraphs per post and putting short and ambiguous names should not be a good idea. Also mostly I post the title even when I do not have much time or mood to write, it will stay as an onus to complete someday. I was always comfortable with it and hope anyone who reads may not object.

The next issue is my competence level as far as the topics I am dealing with. Basically, I use bits and pieces of information I have read, heard, or viewed, and mostly I can not prove them to be genuine. I can not prove their genuineness by telling where they are written, or reproduced. I actually take everything I come across as a story and check their validity in my life, by logically assessing them. Particularly, History, which I never believe fully and with utmost care use only the skeleton part, and good and bad projected by the historian may not be accepted by me. I never go deep into any particular thing and inversely, I go with all faculties alone, as I feel the earlier method is straying from the objective of life. Forced to live an aimless (apparently) life, life was very challenging, and definitely, others may feel that I am the one who is straying! So please be aware that whatever I am writing is based on simple knowledge/ information specks I have conceived and logically analyzed and projected as some way valid thoughts. Please be very careful when using anything I write. I myself say that no one can be fully right or fully right and the same is applicable to me too. Also, you may note that I am not giving answers, but rather raising posers.

Also, the information I gained over my lifetime (Please do not count the first three years, which I found unusable as said by Sri Sri Ravi Shanker's Art of Living basic course I attended, nearly 30 years back, by reading and all other sorts, I am not sure how much true. Say like in early childhood read somewhere that Science is trying to make a list of things that they do not know, it is actually, about what they have only partial knowledge (yes, to the best of their knowledge they know everything about most, even at that time!). In my secondary exam, I managed nearly 82%, but in my social studies paper containing history and geography, I managed to score 59%. So naturally, here I will have to deal with history, a lot and I am relying on Wikipedia and other sources, and there are definitely other versions too. But then anyway I am not going to, take history with a pinch of salt, rather check its validity before. Anyway, history is nothing but a story about what happened, as suitable to the present, written by someone. So if an argument happens at my home, and if all three of us were asked to write about it, tomorrow, the content of each definitely going to be different. Also, India never got freedom, it only got partitioned, and there was a change of rule from the English and The Kings in India combined. I do not know but always felt that the main target was the Kings than the English. I can not make a proper logical support to that. More like an intuition. And the Kohinoor, the swords of Chhatrapati Shivaji, and all were not looted out of India.

The most important aspect is the datum line or the plane on which I specify that I am standing while making the blog as a whole. I will try to iterate on them, and I can not tell every moment where I am, as I myself may not be aware, and so many things will be contradicting each other. 

They are, Vis,

1. Relativity level with free will

2. All god and No free will/ Budha, Sri Krishna, alchemist

3. Layman, materialistic, pure

4.

Also, I have lived mostly, here in Kerala and the locality where I was born. All my posts are purely based on the outputs of this. I have visited many countries and known their inhabitants superficially. They were better off in many aspects and definitely worked hard on their piece of earth, and they mostly know what is law-abiding, and rule makers were good at their job too, I felt. Rather they are more humane. But I think I know why we are like this and I find my place if put some effort can be better than any other place and the adverse conditions will make me or my son a better human being on the run. People who seek monotony desert this country, and I don't treat them as a brain drain in any way. The basic thing in law enforcement is that there should be more than 99 percent of the people selected should be of high integrity and the ones to select them should be having 101 percent integrity.

 Good Day, All!

I think I was a bad learner of English or the so-called Indian English was non-precise and almost harmful. If the latter is the case then, I think we dealt with the English people badly, because of the incompetence in their language. And I do not know, if we really hate the English people, why many of us are still studying and earning in their land. And why I myself is not trying to stop this nonsense and make our country better. I can see a lot of jobs to be carried out. But I think, the Chathurvarnya concept had succeeded or rather reached the end of the road, and the system was such that spirituality was prior. And on the long run achievements faded out and people on this land lost their ability to do physical labour, or rather materialistic life. They had a dislike for blue-collar and want to do only white-collar jobs. As it is managing something to me is an inferior way of getting a job done, but here we all want to be managers.

Good Day, All!

When I was saying that I was not trying to amass money, power, and fame {corrected from, against; as later realised} it made me aimless or on a path of being an intellectual, or worse, a social reformer. I prefer to shun away from the word philosopher as it is considered as a bad word here and never read any philosophers and I don't know what that word means. All along the word wisdom was evading me. Off late wisdom, the word used to come across me when people saw my hair going grey, tell me that I have aged. Aged, said in Malayalam, resembles wise and I feel happy to answer that, yes, I have aged! The second occasion was while reading The Alchemist and I always thought at the end of the book, that anyone acquiring a treasure should earn enough wisdom to keep it and Santiago was forced to make a long journey in this regard. I can not say he made it or the treasure. In any case, there is no scale to measure wisdom it seems. Olden day fables have wise men and women and the world I see now have few people heeding to advice little. Most harming obsolescence, from my point of view. And a noticed abundance of intolerance in the part of the world I live. It is not that people apparently from all over the world tried to change this scenario, and all failed it seems, and ran away for their life. I feel they all tried their best in a symbiotic human society! Maybe genetic, racial and other differences inherent, or accumulated caused the task herculean. The development of engineering, in production, transportation and communication should have made things easier; or maybe it is doing the job now assisted by many, including ones from here. By the way, reality from my perspective is quite confusing me considering the period I go to sleep/ go out of the time axis and am brought back naturally or forcibly**. Somewhere before I said the present is not important, but maybe the present is only important and it creates the space for the other two, or rather past works as a basis of all actions.

From my part, I too, have travelled a bit, because of the profession I was forced to choose because of a stupid attitude toward the education system prevalent, or, maybe the profession chose me! Anyway, life was difficult because of my ignorance and luckily I was guided by a lot of good people from all parts of India, working with the National Shipping Company, Shipping Corporation Of India. And it was my maternal and paternal company and my Alma mater. I feel sorry, but it nullified all sorts of education I gained earlier. The only exception may be the eight-month training I got at Vishakhapatnam Shipyard, which gave some theory tips regarding shipping to me, which stands valid even today. I am not saying that most of these institutions or universities were bad in any way, but just that, I was unable to gain from them and try to accept it as my error. So I have travelled to most countries and major exceptions are South America, Germany, North Korea, Scandinavian countries etc. Holy land was Haifa of Israel, a walk on the streets in the early morning of 1997? Never bothered to visit Rome or London. I know only the people who use the street like drivers, pedestrians, shopkeepers etc and found all people nice. Found the Japanese extremely helpful nature and capable at it, but the Chinese in 1992, in the remote area very much incapable of it, not that they really liked it. The most beautiful place was Venice. Felt very sad to see Hodaida, Yemen in 1997 and it was pure coincidence that A ship which I have taken delivery, as Chief Engineer, on behalf of The President Of India from Colombo, went to Yemen to do an evacuation duty at a political upset, in 2014. I was omitted, and I thank God for that, as I was too tired for the operation after a stressful delivery. Another vessel accompanied and after 4 years, I had to do a stressful job on that ship too. A lot of things happened after I joined the sea, and leaving the SCI, after ten years of service caused a lot of changes, particularly after the marriage. Prior to that, I was on a Japanese-built crude oil tanker, and at the mid-sea on the Y2K day. My minimal knowledge of electronics helped me very much to sleep peacefully, but now I realise the seriousness of the issue. At this stage, I feel in a way that an early adherence to Christianity led me to a tough life scenario, but a Bahai-like attitude which I took even before knowing much about Bahaism. I visited the Lotus Temple of Delhi in 1984 but was not knowing much about Bahais at that time. Nor when I set foot at, Haifa, because of a  machinery failure I had to ditch the idea of visiting Jerusalem.

So I feel, wisdom also is a hypothetical word, and terms like wiser and wisest may not be valid. Maybe you reach a plane of wisdom and keep moving. Only that makes the Alchemist distract Santiago from trying to save a clan and at the same time comes back and heeds his words. I feel that Alchemist was a wise man, and I don't know what is philosopher's stone,  elixir, panacea and all!

Also, even now, what is India, as a whole, I do not know, but I am sure it will be good. This is a war-torn land, just because it needs to be. People have lost memory and the ability or patience to memorize. Maybe many people associate only Hinduism with this land and India. India and Indian in English to me are more to Red Indians of Mexican mountains. I am not sure, but Hinduism contains the major chunk of old times Higgs Boson all world together called Chathur Varnya which I feel succeeded, but the war between polytheism and monotheism collapsed everything. Maybe Dravid and Arya came out? God is still evading and may continue to. After all, we need only a proper answer, scientifically proven and we do not have to control, view or know God! Materialistic science is good enough and contrary to what I said earlier, Murphy's Law will keep the system moving more than any law!

**This sleep thing I wanted to take up as many may take it as my imagination. Normally we consider as a state of rest for the mind and body and sciences of all times stipulated some minimum requirements of time of sleep. But I consider myself as a twin left/right helical spring of mind and body as in an internal combustion engine valve and alive and asleep are just winding and unwinding of these springs. It seems to me that the sleep time, actually the winding happens and conscious self may be doing the unwinding. Still looking a bit fancy? I don't know, this sleep thing is quite slippery and may be worse than death. It is with us and still we can not figure it out. By the way I have been talking about God, but I have no idea where the present day science stand. May be it is not fully understood by a single entity. Like a locker with different key combinations?...

Dear All, Good Day!

This actually belongs under the title "Crime and Punishment" and I thought I might take it up separately here, too.

I noticed a serious error in this adage, and I noticed it early, but I want to believe that I noticed it later than many. To say that to forgive is a Godly affair makes us an excuse not to forgive, stating that we are only human. In our language, Malayalam, there are so many adages, and we can get away from any situation by stating a suitable one. And personally, I had some aversion to the adages, and we have one, meaning that there is no chaff in the adages, making them look infallible. But later on, I realised that the chaff here is intended for the rice grain. I noticed that the good grains are to be conditioned for sowing purposes, and if you want to consume the grain, then you have to process it, and the byproducts and the grain itself can be used as suitable. That way, the adages also have to be analysed properly before putting them into use in any situation. Otherwise, it may cause more harm than good.

                                                                                    Also, I feel that the Malayalam I am familiar with is mostly unstructured, and history says that German Missionary Dr Herman Gundert had made a Dictionary for Malayalam, as he observed this issue, and it is said to be in the 1800s. But the Krishna Sthuthi, Njanappana, which is written by Sri. Poonthanam, a Brahmin, in the 1500s, looks so well structured. Quite confusing! Now, if you read a Malayalam newspaper, you may notice that absolutely no punctuation is used, and one who is trying to learn Malayalam may find it very difficult to comprehend the actual meaning.

                             Okay, I agree that to err is human, and this particular adage apparently means that it has caused some harm to other human being/s and also it was unintentional, clearly from the wording.  So the one who made the mistake wants to be forgiven. I do not understand the logic behind this. Any error is a failure. Just try to take a corrective measure and try to nullify the effect/s as much as possible. And I may add that this is the time the one who caused the harm has to become calm and fearless, and maybe other attributes as needed. Normally, we have to keep some fear within us as a safety aspect till an error occurs. English uses the term sorry at this juncture, taking responsibility for the situation. Only a fearless and calm mind can say sorry effectively. So now the stage is set for remedial measures and, if any inadequacy remains, which can not be compensated/ re-instated, then one may seek forgiveness for the affected one, and he may become Godly for the one who caused the harm, which the person doing the forgiving may never be aware of!

Regret that earlier I had posted a similar title and I may remove it.

                         Again in this Biblical era, the devil has succeeded in injecting jealousy into Eve and I hope you know what happened afterwards. If you don't know, then too, I am not going to tell you about it. Many had capitalized on it and Steve Jobs made a fortune out of it. By the way, it is just a byproduct and the real effect is actually more than I can explain or rather I know of.

                   Then our great Protagonist and Antagonist enter in the form of Kane and Abel. And Devil finished off his job. Definitely, he is bad, because he took more time than God. Of course, he was more productive, sustainable and destructive than God!

To continue...

Actually, nature runs and survives on concupiscence and that is the most important thing, and going into detail from a human point of view from sage Vatsyayana to chastity belts is not an easy thing. In paternal patriarchal systems, the father is the most prominent figure and not knowing who one's father is is a serious situation. So multiple partners for a woman can lead to a precarious position for the off-springs. Also a premarital (or without whatever sort of responsible arrangement) child may suffer in many ways. Add some ego issues too. 

                                                             About all other living things, which can move, have enough know-how to manage. Non-moving things like trees and plants, nature itself takes care of this using living or non-living media. All said on the basis of my knowledge of materialistic science.

To continue...

 Good Day, All!

I remembered something and just jotted it down. Money may be defined to some extent as a byproduct of action and is in an energy form, which may be converted into any material form which includes legal tenders too. They will act as energy cells which again can be used for action or inaction (both are equally important; but good or bad depending on your vantage point, and if you can manage do not look from others' vantage point). But the main product of action is not yet perceivable by me... 

But I think the idea corresponds to the story of the birds caught in a net, flying together with the net. The Indian word Yoga too in a way relates to that. But at the same time, it has nothing to do with the enlightenment of one or all. By the way, down here, people are crazy about light and  I may repeat that light and darkness, both are dangerous and in this space-time frame, a suitable mixture is needed. Even pertaining to knowledge, lack of it also needed to stay grounded. Just imagine if you know your past and future(the present does not exist as time is flying), do you think you can do anything? Forget the capability of the human mind to sustain that condition. Coming back to the birds trapped; birds understand better and their language may be superior, but we are left with Babel; no need to believe in the bible, just consider it as a fable. Actually, that is what we are!

To continue...

Few threads need to be elaborated;

About the story of the birds, it was not a team work like we know of as the there was no competition going on and even the one who cast the net is not in the picture. But we normally go for the team work and do it well. But who knows; the team which manage to fly away with the net may be the loser, I don't know. But beware spies etc. Or rather Trojan horses and other malwares.. 

 Good Day All!

I have mentioned this in an earlier post. Here I shall try to elaborate on this. I am just posting all these thoughts to remind myself. Regret any inconvenience caused. 

Thanks and best regards,

Erratum.. Changed the word testaments to commandments in the title.. Regrets. 

Good Day, All!

As far as I know, only Gautama Buddha arrived at the conclusion about it that it is not there. But he had to retreat for his own reasons. Anyway, no one can hang on to that, either way. If it is true, being aware of it can make the living much more effortless. But only a superstitious one can accept that theory.

                     Here in my part of the earth the period I have been living, people of modern science have a group called Logical Aruement (YukthiVada). They say God is not there and challenge theists to prove God is there as if they have disproved in some way that God is not there!

Good Day All,

Dear all, Good day!

And I think it is going to stay, stay much longer than any other religion. First and foremost reason; the occult science associated with all other religions is not there, or not evident or visible. The basic foundation of materialism was laid by Gauthama Budha and further strengthened by Jesus Christ. Sometime before I published a title saying there is either materialism. It was in an absolute theory I had at that time. 

         Now coming to the other religions, please don't think that they are dead. Even the ones of Aborigines! It may be the actual foundation and like the roots of a tree, which no one will see or even bother. And that way it is good as otherwise, it may destroy the tree. And I don't think they are made not to bother about external acknowledgements. Maybe they get acknowledged by the tree! People at the top of present-day science also maybe doing ditto. They make the ground on which our science stands. This world is pure magic, realised. Science had struggled and lot many people and living beings struggled to make it up here. I have a copy of Harper Collins's "How Things Work" two-part book. I could never read even a bit of it, but it is enough to know the mental and physical strain people have gone through. And definitely, you can't see them as magic; that is the beauty of it. 

                                               By the way let me mention human language here, too. I feel everything material and living have a language. It may be considered similar to the machine language of a computer. Even a foetus in the womb must be using that. After being born he/ she takes 2 to 3 years to adapt that language to the human language being used around. Maybe the story of Babel in the Bible happened in real. 

                               There is a story about magnetic levitation. It says if the wheel was not invented and levitation had been invented earlier world could have progressed much more. No comments. Similarly, even though I have no idea about the machine language of the mind, our languages are pretty blunt and even a high-end intellectual can't do any dissection(thanks to Sri. Sadhguru!) 

To be continued..... 

PS. I still manage to do a lot of surgery anyway, break idols, put them back in shape, and may even manage to give life to them! Just joking... 

Also noted is that Murphy's law has to be shelved as it has an occult nature, as it looks to me. On second thoughts, Murphy's law can not be termed as a law, as it is a distorted version of the postulate in Physics that there is no perpetual moving machine. And it is the foundation on which physics is built. Whether it is invalid in any space-time frame needs to be investigated. Also if we go to the etymology of the word cognizance, electrical and electronics engineering it became literally impossible to grasp the logic behind things just by looking. And I think Murphy's law popped up at this juncture as electronics engineers claimed that their inventions are not fallible. But anyway I am not going further with that too will be an endless process.

Shall continue...

Addition.. 

Thinking is not an action or inaction as I feel and it is a natural process. Or if it is not followed by physical labor. Even Jesus confirms on that and failure of sciences managed to achieve Religionhood, I feel is that. But the present day material science has both and learns from both and manage to co-exist with all. So I said this one is here to stay. And may be Heaven can wait...

Good Day, All! 

He went to the blackboard and started scribbling!  A spoiler. Relativity is a destroyer, frigate and many more. There is an old puzzle where you are asked to make a line drawn with a pencil on a piece of paper without using an eraser or a pencil on that line, smaller or bigger. Note that the wording is not to reduce or to increase. So the answer is to draw a line of different lengths on the paper, near the old one. So you say, Universe is expanding???

 Dear All, Good Day!

Just wanted to say I am alive! I was trying to write one under the title "Destination Death". Turned out to be tough, and a lot of work came up to keep me alive. It is easy to write something fast and publish it in a jiffy. But this one is making me go through a maze and I wonder whether I will be able to make it to a publishable level. But I am not planning to say die, as usual. Hope all is well so far into this 2023 AD, for all of you; again actually is immaterial as I had said in the title.

Thanks and Best Regards,

PS. I may take up the title issue in detail later.

 Dear All, Good day!

                                 I drafted this title by the end of August, and as I thought I should give a short explanation, I did not publish it straight away. I knew I was publishing just titles, which are seemingly stupid, crazy or even insane, without any elaboration. Actually, when I started this blog, my intention was to try my hand at writing and thereby earn some money as I was jobless at that time. I soon realised that it is not going to work out, but in the meantime, I have already made a lot of titles, in such a way that it will be easier for me to elaborate on them later and also I will remember these topics. At that juncture, I got back my job, and I decided to publish all these titles and stopped writing. Later on, as I got time I started elaborating on the ones I could and added many more too. But immediately after making this title, my life had become quite tough and I couldn't write at all. I hope I will be able to continue writing from now onwards, for some time. I am planning to set up a new foundation for my thought process in the next title and then take up elaborate on earlier titles and add new titles.

Merry Christmas and a Happy new year in advance,

 Dear All, good day!

Good day, all!

Let me just start this one, at least, and never finish it! 

                      By the way, Justitia is a Goddess and those guys are not supposed to err or fall for sycophancy, favoritism, and all those sorts of things as far as I know. As I said earlier, they have to follow a certain modus operandi. Look at the sun God who is working day and night, at the same time the system is arranged so that we the, lesser ones get some time to sleep. So suspecting Justitia in the matter of justice must be a criminal offense. The lesson to be learned is never to compare humans with God! This is the same feeling I had while reading Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged" maybe 30 years back. Even when I promised that in case he shrugs, I will get down from this damn thing blah.. blah... was posted earlier somewhere. Because, from Ayn Rand's point of view everything is going haywire, but Atlas may feel that things can't be better than this!

           And as far as I know, vision can grasp or be able to listen to so many things compared to all other senses put together. Even recently, I was put through some relatively tough times and I had to tell and really feel that I can listen with my eyes. Can detect lies, even when they are said and you hear them using your ears. How stupid of human thinking to deprive Justitia of her vision, at least, symbolically. By the way, all these are for people who like and learn from stories and believe in Gods and Demons (at least theoretically)!

                                     Maybe the person who said this adage was pointing at a lazy person. But a lazy one may be physically inactive, but that need not represent his brain's activity. Also The Devil, too prefer some brainy person, so that his plans could be understood well and executed. Instead of the idle-brained one, I may go for an irresponsible(to the society) and unethical one. To be continued...

 Dear All, Good Day!

                                     This verse along with the parable by Jesus about the rich man and Lazarus affected me in my early childhood, say 7-8 years. These in a way led to my aversion to amassing power, wealth and money, as much, all along my life. Even now I take the same stand. 

                                                          I don't know how, but I never felt that my father who was one of the richest in my village will go to hell, maybe, because he was empathetic and a philanthropist. He had only 5 years of schoolgoing, but I always found him quite wise. His knowledge level regarding international affairs was also quite high. I still don't know how, but those days, every month 'Soviet Union', the national magazine of the Soviet Union and 'Span', the national magazine of the USA were received by post in my home. By the 1980s both stopped, but.

                                             But the Bible affected me in such a way that, I remained a partisan of the poor. Only by, say at the age of 48, did I realise that the survival of the poor was always taken care of by the rich with their actions than my, menial financial support and good words.  Slowly it dawned on me that, the Sun, Wind and the Rain clouds give us rain which is very vital. Water from the sea is purified and collected and showered over lands which require them. Even the rich are doing the same thing. The system they run gives employment and money to people so they have their daily bread and more. (I may write later that employment is more important than the wages you get, for a good human being). even when the rich go luxurious and snobbish, a lot of money gets permeated down to lower strata.

                           I started supporting rich and poor, and newer stand of finding a way to differentiate between good and bad. Simply neglecting, religion, region, language, skills, fame, power, and whatnot! I am only a nationalist only to see the nation is remaining a nation, otherwise for the world. I think I have managed to convey something and may add something later, which shall be updated in the revision notes.

PS. All relative to the present days and I can not say exactly, the validity of these views at the time Jesus lived, thanks.

Thanks and Best Regards,

 Good day, All!

                           What I meant to say, basically, is that If you don't judge yourself or others for a substantial period of time, you may lose your inherent quality to judge. And it may lead to a situation, where, you may have to call upon somebody to make judgements on your behalf. So the said threatening verse will automatically become valid. Hope the situation is clear to you. Also, I am in a way, have used the ambiguity of the English language in my favour. The 'You can go ahead' - a term I used to have more than its literal meaning, but practically too makes you go ahead in your life!

                                                          And also people make mistakes between judgement and execution. Actually, you can practice judging on a regular basis, from different vantage points, without making the execution part. The person or situation you are judging need not be aware of your thoughts. Actually, every decision you make is a judgement and generally, the ability to make a decision is known to be good quality. If you are afraid of judging, how can you be a good decision maker? For my part I make decisions very rarely and when it is absolutely necessary. I normally go with the current and I know it is a little bit risky. Or maybe, I more or less hold my position, and rarely swim against the current.

 Good Day, All!

When the ship M V State Of Tripura, owned by Shipping Corporation Of India, arrived in Haifa a day in 1996 late in the evening, for a short stay, I wanted to go to Jerusalem, taking a French leave. I was working as the first assistant to the Chief Engineer, who was an elderly Malayali, settled in Chennai, Named T B Srinivasan. But after berthing the main control room air conditioner failed due to a shortage of cooling sea-water supply to the system due to chocking of the pipeline. We needed it to run prior to sailing out from Haifa and I told my chief engineer to go and visit Jerusalem and I will stay back and get the job done with my crew. So we finished the job by 0200 Hrs the next day and I just went for a stroll on the streets of Haifa, without knowing anything much about Haifa. By the way, I am very poor in History and Geography and always in the engine room or accommodation and never had to see the navigational maps, even now I can not tell which country/ continent in which part of the spherical thing. But my son of 18 years is good at it and he clears my doubts easily. So as I have mentioned in my earlier posts somewhere, I visited Lotus Temple in Delhi and came to know Bahais too. But I didn't know when I set my foot at Haifa, it is the headquarters of Bahais. Now this much as a prologue and let me come to the topic.

                                    Baháʼu'lláh claimed himself as a representative of God and what Jesus Christ used was never too conspicuous. Either way, it was good enough to bring fear in the bad guys; by the way who is not bad here? So all went and killed them. The clever ones who were sure of the end result stayed calm and got away without any blood stains on their hands or mind.

"       We are on the road, we are on the road to anywhere,

      With never a heartache, with never a care,

      Got no home, got no friends, 

      Thankful for everything the good Lord sends,

      We are on the road, we are on the road to anywhere,

     And every milestone seems to say,

      That the road to anywhere, the road to anywhere,

      Will lead to somewhere someday"

Promise;

     "On my honour, I promise that,

      I will do my best,

      To do my duty to God and my country;

      To help other people at all times,

      To place my ship before my top,

      And the top before myself "

Both, extract from " Lest I Forget" an autobiography by Respected Kwaja Sayeed Shahabuddin. By the way, I came to know about these in words a few months back and all along I was totally unaware of their existence.

All points need elaboration and shall be done in a phased-out manner.

Thanks and best regards,
