Dear All, Good day!
#221 So Far In Retrospect; May Be Only A Hiatus!
Good Day, All!
As I said earlier, English is still the most convenient language for me to use here. And as it turned out to be a personal and mostly private diary, it really doesn't matter, but after reading through whatever I had written so far, I realise that my grasp of this language is not as good as I expected. As I said earlier, the Human Languages are mostly representative approximations and evolved from sign languages and pictographic versions, but developed into phonetic scripted versions. And I can not consider the Braille or other languages for the deaf and dumb ones(No hard feelings, please; as no human being is really much ahead of those physically challenged ones). And phonetic ones have really reached the end of their life years back, particularly after the computer age, where material can listen to us!
So, a part of the efficiency I face with the grasp of this language is due to the topic I handle. So let me explain this part. I am in a trap, and I can not pinpoint anything I read or heard, has led me here, or rather, a combination of all. Many, I already knew and may be an indication that I am on the right track, or rather sinking deeper into the trap. Human language is good for materialistic(Sorry, just for representation, I feel all are fully materialistic or fully spiritualistic for me when I am conscious) things. Life-based elements are never dealt with well in human language. Just take the most common and favourite word we use, love, which is often misjudged as a partialistic or favoritistic-based feeling.
But the most important word is 'Truth', which is never well contemplated. The famous people, like the famous politician of India, Mohan Das Karam Chand Gandhi also quite confused about this word. After the age of 35, I tried to read his book 'My Experiments with Truth', and after a few pages, I had to stop, presumably because he was concerned about telling lies or facts. Also, I feel that during the Indian freedom struggle, based on the stupidest war techniques, nobody spent enough time and effort in learning English, and they all went for the most lucrative profession of those days, the law. English law was quite applicable in all colonial states, too. And never seen Gandhi, the movie, fully either, but just seen the scene where Gandhi was pulled out of the first-class compartment. He was telling that he is a barrister, all along, with a lot of pride, but I still do not know whether it is important to a ticket examiner, the profession of the passenger. As far as I know, he learned law in England, and also, if a white person behaved badly with you, it doesn't mean all whites are bad. Also, I feel that Indian English is the worst form as terms like 'knowledge is power', etc, in use here are absolutely stupid. Also, the lot is quite crazy about the words Independence, freedom and pride.
Regret the pause. It seems that there is no point in discussing my incompetence in handling this language, or the inability of human languages as a whole in dealing with a topic I am handling. One thing I noticed is that any title I have taken up makes me end up in a maze from which I am unable to get out. I am not sure whether I am led to a labyrinth while trying to expand these titles or threads, or am I within a labyrinth and I am trying to use these threads to come out of it. By the way, we all express ourselves based on an understanding of the world outside, and in my case, from the vantage point I am at, after reading and hearing whatever I have so far, it makes me believe that the path I am treading is not a beaten one. But at the same time, I come across points where people have reached, but as I prefer to be a loner, I never try to continue the beaten path they have made. The only relief is that maybe I am on the right path, or rather, beating a new right path.
Normally, people find that religion and science are two different things. Religion is normally seen as a combination of theology and philosophy for people pursuing that. I feel that science, when it matures, becomes a religion and naturally, the decline starts after a period of flourishing. Material science has already achieved the religionhood once the transistors and digital switching were invented. Or, rather, the cognisance in the pure Greek root stopped working for materialistic inventions. For common people like me, many things work, maybe just because I believe they do work. Christ and Buddha were the key reformers who insisted on physical work, and the material science developed to a level beating their purpose, I may say, apparently. Even the people from this part of Asia were more into self/ spiritual search in an organised way, dividing into four professions and working as a team, which eventually made them believe that they succeeded, the same way the material science of today, as I may believe. I said somewhere earlier that the Higgs Boson experiment for the God's particle was a success. Not actually, but as the intention itself was a success from my point of view.
Next, tell a basic thing that whatever I am trying to say is just based on the knowledge I have about the people who may come across my writings. And I am not telling everything I know, maybe theoretically. As I said, I have taken a path which is not beaten. But I come across points where people had already passed through or even died, and left, which makes me believe that I may be on the right track. And I know very well that the path is endless, and I just have to carry on: till I die? Maybe I should try to expand the #025 post.
I may generally be considered a Truth seeker, but what is meant by the word Truth in this context? I may mention the Higgs Boson experiment as the point of truth for the material science. Definitely, none of the absolutes we consciously choose is only turn out to be relative, and that is the main reason for the search for the truth. The only truth is that the conscious human being can not achieve something absolute, and hence no truth. The only attraction of this path is that it is unbeaten in any sense and extremely adventurous. Now, Theosophy states that there is no religion higher than the truth. I find some issue with this term as religion or any form of science can not be compared with the truth, or rather, the religion and sciences are only the path to take you to the mirage called truth!
Why do I say that the truth is not achievable may be addressed now. Let me consider a material or element, say iron. It is an English word, and it should serve the purpose as I am using English. Most of us assume that iron was discovered at some point in our timeline. But if we look closer, we actually come across a material with some specific qualities and, as found useful, started using it, and for convenience's sake, it was given the name iron. Tests were carried out so that a clear definition of the properties of iron was recorded. So any further production of iron was analysed to make sure it holds all the qualities of iron, and is used for the relevant manufacturing process. So, defining iron is a purely materialistic affair, and relativity works satisfactorily here. But

#220 Mary's Boy Child Jesus Christ Was Born On Christmas Day!
Dear All, Wish You A Merry Christmas!
Title credit goes to the music troupe BoneyM. But as far as I know, Christ was not born on December 25th, which started occurring after the formation of the Gregorian calendar. Also, definitely, people started celebrating Christmas after the resurrection of Jesus. So the day Jesus was born was treated as Christmas day after he became posthumously an important person. I was born on 22nd April, which was declared World Earth Day in 1970, so I can not say that I was born on Earth Day. It is as simple as that!

#219 Dharma Putra's Journey To Heaven!
Dear All, Good Day!
This is about the Pandavas of Mahabharata. After doing all bad things(I say so, because I too fought with my father's elder brother and his children from age 11 or so and lasted many years and it was not really fruitful and I feel very bad about it now. Finally things turned out my way and the fight just gave me a bad name as far as I know. And if I gambled, yes, I gambled with my life and not with my family or my assets. Assets I inherited I used as final resort to live on with my wife and son. And sailor inherently gambles with his/ her life with IMO in place or not!) on this earth they decided to go to heaven and in those days it was more or less walkable distance and death was not a pre-requisite! Or, in those days to keep living till you reach heaven was the basic requirement I have no idea whether any other entry requirements were there! During the journey, all the brothers died and only Dharma Putra and his dig were left. So Chithtra Guptha said now as he managed to come alive he could enter heaven. Still, Yudhishtira with his other names including Dharma Puthra, can not leave behind the Dog as it was always with him and asks him that he doesn't want heaven if the Dog is denied entry. So as usual Chithra Gupta also praised him and allowed him to enter heaven with the Dog. But the moment Yudhishtira entered heaven the Dog vanished into thin air!
The story was as usual said with a moral to praise Yudhishtira but the hitch is that why the loved Dog had to disappear was not known to Yudhishtira or story storyteller. And whether Yudhishtira mourned the disappearance of his favourite Dog, as his request at heaven's gate was never satisfied.
Start making your own morals for every story you hear and keep aside the one that comes with the story, just like you keep aside the manual of new-age gadgets!

#218 Fuzzy Logic is essential to deal with languages!
Dear All, good day!
We normally consider whatever is perceived during consciousness as absolute and I too am trapped. But as I have been trying to tell earlier also the languages and translations were formed by some sort of playing dumb charades, which basically works on fuzzy logic. Here the most important part is knowing your mother tongue and two other prominent languages is important. In my case, my mother tongue Malayalam is too attached to Sanskrit(or is it the other way around) and, above average knowledge of Hindi and English if I try to use the fuzzy logic with all these languages makes my head spin too much. And people may start throwing stones at me if I tell them out... To continue
Merry Christmas, in case I do not enter into this private space before the 25th.
