Yesterday I had a dream. don't remember at  what time. But I was near the river नर्मदा / narmadā /  and wanted to take a bath. I was a bit scared because the river was in spate and was uneven. Though I knew I should take bath along the bank with the help of a mug, I went near and was thinking how to pour water on myself. Then I took many mugful of water upon my body and was thinking to push some upon my private parts. I was wearing just an underwear. But before I could do anything, a big wave rushed towards me and drenched me in waters. I felt great! Shivering because of fear, I returned, but the feeling of serene, sacred freshness remained with me even after waking up.
2. Today in dream I was reading a Sanskrit text where the word मामिलि / māmili /  was there as the first in the second line of the श्लोक / śloka. I knew the meaning which was confirmed as correct in the next श्लोक / śloka. The meaning of the whole श्लोक / śloka  was :
There are 4 zeros. there is 1 one.
At once I 'decoded that मन वचन कर्म बुद्धि are the four 'voids' They are apparent not real.
1 is the Self. then someone told me :
you are now लक्षतीर्थ / lakṣatīrtha /. That also I decoded as :
100008. The one 1 (self) is ever untouched by 8 (प्रकृति / prakṛti) and there are 4 veda, or the above said 'voids' in between.
Though the meaning was similar as in Jain and  बौद्ध / bauddha philosophy, the text in Sanskrit was from a thin book of 15-20 pages with English translation in the book along-with the Sanskrit text. And this book had a blue design on the cover-page with white background. There was only one image of a swan or conch perhaps.

just for record.

:) The eight the infinite. the zero the wall. the one the back of infinite. the infinite the one. the self stands in infinite. the self crosses the zero. the self go through voids. the self reaches the one. The self aware.  the one is the infinite.

Great insight!

एक खामोश काली परछाई 
तैरती है रहती दिलों के उजालों पर
हालाँकि आसमान देखने पर, 
कोई पंछी नज़र नहीं आता ।
एक खामोश काली परछाई...

तुम को भूत ने पकड़ रखा है,
भूत को किसने पकड़ रखा होगा?
जिसने भी पकड़ रखा होगा उसको,
उसको साये ने जकड़ रखा होगा, 
उसी साये ने जो कि है काली,
एक खामोश काली परछाई...

इसलिए देखने पर भी आसमां,
कोई पंछी नज़र नहीं आता,
कोई उजला या काला सुरमई या,
भूरा, रंगीन या कि चितकबरा,
गो कि उड़ते रहते हैं आसमां पर वो,
जैसे खामोश काली परछाई...

A Fortnight of Complete Darkness!

A Fortnight of Complete Darkness!

And you know I wasted 2 hrs. trying to understand this is true or what.
The orbit of Earth around Sun is longer than Venus. Supposing the planets move in a plane (I don't know so far, I guess they move in non-co-planer orbits) then only there is possibility that Venus would block the light coming from sun to reach earth. And this has happened a year or two ago when we saw Venus as a dim spot on a bright sun. But as far as Jupiter is concerned the orbit of Jupiter is much longer than the earth.
In short, The Mercury is very near to Sun, Then Venus is far more away in comparison to Mercury. Then is Earth. then Mars and then Jupiter and after that Saturn. So there is no chance that Jupiter could ever come between Sun and Earth even if the planets are co-planer (move in the same plane) or not. This causes a doubt about the truth of the said report of NASA where-in this prediction / forecast is given.
There is yet another reason what NASA claims as the cause of 15 days of darkness. I don't know how far that is correct. 
If that is true, let us wait, see and enjoy.
I don't know if there is another such event people on earth could have witnessed so far on Earth.
There is one such recorded example though, when during the war of Mahabharata Sun appeared to have set and Karna was getting ready to retreat, because the war was prohibited after sun-set. Then Srikrishna suggested to Arjuna : The sun is not yet set it will set after a few minutes. And Arjuna cast his arrow upon Karna. Caught unaware, Karna was killed. Later on Srikrishna told him :
Arjuna! There are many explanations, all true :
1.I commanded the Earth to move away from its regular path for a while so that sun looks as if has set. And Earth complied to my command.
2.It was destiny which is neither mine nor your's but Cosmic Collective.
3.It was according to laws of Astronomy but only I know and neither you nor anyone (including Karna) else knew.

Question : I had an awesome dream. 
Today also (like those many earlier dreams) I was walking on air.
2 inches above the ground. I feel so good whenever I walk like this, ... feel so light! Will you please teach me how to walk upon the air / water for real?

Answer :
Do you remember quark and PHOTON in STRING THEORY? STRING THEORY does not explain gravitational / magnetic or electric 'Fields' satisfactorily. A PHOTON is 'SELF' only. Though we need to explain a bit here, how that is the premise.
A Gravitational, magnetic or electric-field comprising of charged-particles like 'ions' is called a 'Field'. This 'Field' itself is a purely physical hypothetical 'space' and its existence could be proved and accepted beyond doubt by sound reasoning. This way we can imagine / understand the existence of a 'physical' hyper-space that is there to be thought of, discussed and studied about along-with this 3-D Geometrical space which is the basis of defining our 'space'.
STRING THEORY claims to explain what is 'Force' as such. The physical force that causes the matter move. But STRING THEORY does not explain what is this physical space where-in this 'Force' causes this happening. 
Science can not refute or deny existence of a consciousness (- presently let us limit this to a living body with a 'brain' and senses.)
This 'brain' though works exactly like a programmed 'computer'  with its 'memory' and through memory 'recognition' comes into play. No memory, no recognition And Conversely, no recognition, no memory.
A 'consciousness' presumably this faculty of 'brain', is therefore interplay of memory and recognition only.
Then comes up a specific memory / recognition of a 'me' in the brain.
This memory / recognition is perceived in a 'consciousness' that is not 'me' nor any other memory / recognition.
So, this 'me' is but an assumption and has no real existence.
Though brain works under the sub-ordinate status of this 'me', this 'me' is nevertheless a hypothetical entity only.
The 'consciousness' where-in this whole thing happens though takes no part in this play, is the only evidence of all this working of 'brain'.
Thus we come upon the conclusion that there is a 'space', of the 'consciousness'-kind underlying the different other 'spaces' like geometrical, magnetic, or electric.     
'me' exists or not may be a moot question, may be, this could be challenged but 'who' is there that could do so? Because without accepting the existence of a 'consciousness-space' this 'me' remains undefined.
But this all discussion is possible to be carried out while 'one' is awake.
And only when 'one' is awake one can talk about the other states perceived by 'brain' in 'consciousness', and through the relative 'senses of those states 'other than' this waking state.
This gives rise to the axioms that there 'are' other states of brain when it registers and  builds up memory and recognition.
It is still doubtful if in those other states does the brain compare and contrast those states with its waking state that it is experiencing just now in this moment.
Whatever be the fact, we arrive at the result that there are sub-spaces in consciousness.
We can also assume by almost every-one's experience that such sub-spaces are mutually exclusive.
When we are awake, we can't dream, when we dream, we can't be awake or sleeping. Like-wise while we are fast asleep, we can't dream or be in a waking state of brain.
And at the same time, our existence never undergoes interruption. We say or don't say 'me', We never say 'I was not' / 'I existed not'. That is a logical and rational proof that whatever we are, exists timelessly.
'Timelessly', because 'Time' too is again consequent to memory and recognition.  
'Who' thinks?
--
This is is the very core-point where 'I' /'self' and 'thought' get confounded and become the mess.
'I think' is the first error because of this confusion.
'Thinking' as such is the functioning of intellect and takes place in brain, a most physical kind of phenomena. On the other hand 'I', -whatever be its reality, is not 'thinking'. So 'thinking' and 'I' are basically things of very different kind.
पतञ्जलि / patañjali in His Treatise on योग / Yoga starts with this very first principle 'वृत्ति' / 'vṛtti', in His first aphorism.
योगश्चित्तवृत्ति निरोधः / yogashcittavṛtti nirodhaH.
--
Thus when we understand how 'I' is neither a consequence of 'thinking' nor 'thinking' a consequence of 'I', and both these elements / principles are essentially of different kind, the proposition just crumbles down.

--
The 'thought-space'. 
Therefore, we could conveniently define a 'thought-space' associated with every individual 'brain' located in every individual physical body. This thought-space lives 'a life' and is assumed as 'my life'. Though that is a false notion.
Every single 'brain' has its own 'thought-space'. 
Even a micro-organism, has a potential brain, a 'program' in the binary language of 'memory' and 'recognition', and this creates in it such a false notion of 'me'. 
Assuming every individual 'life' as having matter as its substance that gives it a 'physical' body of mass 'm', and assuming the earth as having the mass 'M', we can deduce the law of Gravitation, in this way :
In the formula
F= g(m.M)/(r)^2, where F= Force of Attraction,
m= mass of a physical body,
M = mass of the Earth,
g = Gravitational Constant, 
r= Distance between the two,
If m is 0, 
F becomes 0.
But r is still a positive quantity, so that F is never 0 at any instant at the practical level.
Let us postulate, If r could somehow be made negative, F too so could be 'negative. 
This means the Force F which is a vector quantity becomes negative.In other words, its 'direction' is reversed', becomes 'opposite', = 180 degrees.
=> F becomes (-)F, The Force of Repulsion.
This could be further postulated to 'happen in the 'hyperspace' that is a 'Thought-space'. 
Then the only question "how to synchronize the two 'Forces' so as to achieve a desired balance remains there to be dealt with.
If that could be done, you could sure float upon air or walk upon the waters.
पतञ्जलि  / patañjali in His Treatise on योग / Yoga gives another clue to achieve this feet. 
String theory postulates 'photons' that are responsible for 'Force'.
Treating Earth as a cosmic hyperspace, and 'me' / 'self' in the individual body, one can identify oneself with the Earth.
This way one is freed from the bondage that Gravitational Force keeps him confined in.This is the end.There is nothing  to practice in fact.
Remark :
Walking upon air or water in one's dream indicates an urge to get over this mundane Reality, this physical world of illusion. If this urge is properly and correctly addressed, one could achieve far more Greater results.

कितना बड़ा क़ब्रिस्तान है यह कि लगभग हर दूसरे तीसरे दिन कुछ लाशें दफ़ना देता हूँ ! कभी कभी तो एक ही दिन कई कई भी एक ही साथ ! जानता हूँ कि वे करवटें बदलती होंगी, कभी एक दूसरे का सहारा लेकर दर्द बाँट लेती होंगीं जैसा कि उन दूसरी लाशों को नसीब नहीं होता जो ठिठुरती शीत में अपनी कब्र के लिहाफ़ में अकेली काँपती रहती हैँ । कुछ  लाशों को तो मैं यथाशीघ्र जला दिया करता हूँ लेकिन बाकी दूसरी, या लावारिस लाशोँ को उनके विश्वास का सम्मान करते हुए दफ़ना देना ही उचित जान पड़ता है । ताक़यामत वे वहाँ सुक़ून से वक़्त बिता सकती होंगी। किसी नई लाश / किन्हीं नई लाशों को दफ़नाते हुए अक़सर उन पुरानी कब्रोँ पर भी श्रद्धा-सुमन चढ़ा आता हूँ जिनके बारे मेँ लगता है कि वे चैन से नहीं सो पा रहीं । कभी कभी उनकी रूहेँ मेरी तरह वहाँ टहलती नज़र आ जाती हैं, तो कभी कभी मेरे ख़्वाब मेँ आकर भी कह जाती हैं कि वे हिबरनेशन पूरा कर चुकी हैँ, तब मैँ उन्हेँ मुक्त कर देता हूँ और वो मुझे !

Coffins of the dead thoughts.

What a vast cemetery is this! Sprawling across miles and miles where I can’t reach walking for a day or even weeks, yet could go anywhere in a split second! And every next or third day I lay to rest in the graves, many a corpses ! Sometimes a few together in the same grave! I am aware they might be turning sides in there disturbed sleep there, and occasionally might seek support from the others lying next to them, sharing their pains and agonies. Other those are not so fortunate, who sleep all alone in their solitary cave-like bed under the earth. Cold, humid, dark, with no one to tell their woes. May be, some could live lost in blissful oblivion also. Every day I cremate here those who I know believe in an after-life, hand-over them to Lord Fire, Who they might think would burn down all their blemishes, sins and misfortunes and let them awaken in a new shining birth. Yet there are those, who I don’t know identity of, almost a stranger to me, I don’t know what they might be believing in, those agnostics, skeptics, seculars, or the others. While interring some new ones, I pay a thought-tribute to the older ones at their respective graves sometime. I often stroll, take a long walk in the ground to discover some already laid-down to rest, are wandering there aimlessly, leaving behind in their graves, their own corpses in rest, and they hint at me they want relief, a respite. Or even more, they contact me in my dream and request they have been in hibernation for so long, and want to wake up to their / my world. Then I free / liberate them and they too reward me with the same freedom. And we all share the joy!

एक कहानी

©
मेरे इस क़स्बेनुमा शहर में आज भी रावण की एक प्रतिमा है जिसकी पूजा हर रामनवमी पर गाँव के कुछ लोग करते हैं जिस पर दूसरे कई लोग हँसते हैं, कुछ आश्चर्य करते हैं तो कुछ बस मेरी तरह उदासीन भी होते हैं । 
मेरे इस क़स्बेनुमा शहर में जो तब गाँव हुआ करता था, शायद पचास वर्षों बाद ’रावण-दहन’ संपन्न होने जा रहा है । समारोहपूर्वक, जैसा कि देश के और भी बहुत से स्थानों पर होता है ।
जब मैंने कॉलेज में एड्मिशन लिया था, उस साल आखिरी बार मेरे इस शहर में दो हफ़्ते तक ’रामलीला’ होने के बाद ’रावण-दहन’ होनेवाला था । वह कार्यक्रम ’रामलीला’ का ही एक ’अंक’ था ।
रावण, कुंभकर्ण और मेघनाद के भव्य पुतले सज-धजकर गर्वपूर्वक मैदान में खड़े थे ।
’नेताजी’ भी पधार चुके थे, और उनके हाथों में धनुष भी था । वे ’लक्ष्य-संधान’ का पर्याप्त अभ्यास कर चुके थे, और उन्हें भरोसा था कि जिन दस-बीस बाणों की बौछार वे रावण पर करेंगे, उनमें से कोई न कोई अवश्य ही उसे प्रज्वलित कर देगा ।
किन्तु न जाने क्यों बहुत से बाणों के प्रयोग के बाद भी रावण यथावत् शान से खड़ा था ।
नेताजी ने प्रश्नसूचक दृष्टि से अपने सहायक की ओर देखा ।
सहायक ने भी उसी तरह नेताजी को ।
तभी गरजती गूँजती आवाज में रावण बोल उठा :
"तुम मुझ पर बाण नहीं चला सकते!"
यह ऐसी आश्चर्यजनक घटना थी कि नेताजी के होश उड़ गए । वहाँ उपस्थित शेष सारे लोग भी भयभीत हो गए ।
"तुम जानना चाहते हो मेरे और मेरे वंश, कुल, परिवार, समाज और प्रजा, साम्राज्य के नष्ट हो जानने का कारण?"
भीड़ स्तब्ध, विस्मयविमूढ़ होकर सुनती रही ।
"मैं महापण्डित था किन्तु स्त्री के प्रति कुदृष्टि रखना मेरा एकमात्र महापाप था जिसने मेरे समस्त कुल, वैभव और समृद्धि को मिट्टी में मिला दिया ।"
भीड़ स्तब्ध, विस्मयविमूढ़ होकर सुनती रही ।
"हाँ तुम मुझे अवश्य जला सकते हो, एक ही बाण चलाकर, किन्तु बाण वही चलाए, जिसने किसी भी नारी को एक बार भी कभी कुदृष्टि से न देखा हो ।"
लज्जाभिभूत नेताजी के हाथों से धनुष वैसे ही छूट गया जैसे महाभारत-युद्ध के समय शोक-विह्वल अर्जुन के हाथों से कभी छूटा होगा ।
उनके सहायक ने साहसपूर्वक ’अनाउन्स’ किया :
"है कोई यहाँ, जो अपने-आपको बाण चलाने का अधिकार रखने की योग्यता से संपन्न मानता हो?"
भीड़ निरुत्तर, स्तब्ध, विस्मयविमूढ़ होकर सुनती रही ।
तब सहायक ने दोनों हाथ जोड़कर रावण से विनती की :
"हे लंकेश, हमारे अपराध क्षमा करें और कृपया हमें बतलाएँ कि यहाँ उपस्थित पुरुषों में से न सही, नारियों में ही क्या कोई ऐसी है, जो आप पर बाण चला सके?"
"हा ... हा ... हा...!"
रावण के ठहाके से धरती काँप उठी ।
"सुनो! स्त्री मुझ पर बाण कैसे चला सकेगी? नहीं चला सकेगी, इसलिए नहीं क्योंकि वह अबला है और मैं बहुत बलवान, बल्कि केवल इसलिए, क्योंकि उसके लिए सभी पुरुष पुत्रवत् ही हुआ करते हैं । फ़िर चाहे उनमें से कोई मुझ जैसा दुराचारी ही क्यों न हो! ठीक है मुझे जो कहना था कह चुका । इसके बाद भी अगर तुम चाहो तो मेरा दहन कर सकते हो ।"
रोमांचित भीड़ निरुत्तर, स्तब्ध, विस्मयविमूढ़ होकर सुनती रही ।
देर तक एक कठिन, असह्य मौन वहाँ व्याप्त रहा ।
तब रावण ने अपने हाथ से कटार ली और उसे अपने सीने में घोंप दिया ।
भीड़ हा-हा-कार कर उठी । सब रो रहे थे ।
एक विस्फोट हुआ और रावण का पुतला अग्नि की प्रचण्ड ज्वालाओं में धू-धू कर जलने लगा । कुछ ही देर बाद शेष दो पुतले भी अग्नि की भेंट चढ़ गए ।
उस दिन के बाद मेरे शहर में फिर कभी रावण नहीं जला ।
अब, लोग इस घटना को लगभग भूल ही चुके थे, किन्तु कुछ दिन पहले कुछ उत्साही युवा रावण-दहन समारोह के लिए मुझसे ’चंदा’ माँगने आये तो मुझे यह घटना याद हो आई!

In mid-stream / प्रकृति, विकृति और संस्कृति

In mid-stream / प्रकृति, विकृति और संस्कृति
Not only of प्रकृति, विकृति और संस्कृति but the stability and preserving the society as well. Suppose this is accepted, What price the society will have to pay for this? Should 'marriage' be abolished'? Should there be new 'marriage-laws'? And the core question is what of the structure of family. Some people have an incestuous orientation also. Should that be allowed? The whole thing looks like written by a immature and even perverted mind. I can discuss at length what is the stance of Hindu / Sanatana-dharma view upon sex and sexuality. Sex was never condemned nor suppressed in Sanantana-dharma. Nor mocked or ridiculed.. They have a very pragmatic approach towards the orientation of individual and his / her place in the society. There is vAma-tantra, and that too is ONLY for those who have no condemnation / suppression / sense of gratification in the sexual behavior of any kind. And that is not compulsory, but only for those who are 'adhikari' / 'pAtra'. VatsyAyana wrote the famous treatise on sex-behavior and was a brahmachArI. This 'brahmacarya is not an imposed discipline but the maturity of mind when one has attained a so pure state of mind and understanding that it becomes the 'orientation' . For such people 'sex' becomes just absurd. They are not for or against sex. Such people have their mind duly settled in 'Brahman' and though sometimes they may indulge in sexual activity because of injunctions laid down by Shastra - as a grihastha is, they don't sway away from that understanding even for a second.
Questioner :
Agreed with everything other than "...even perverted mind." ..
I think talking about sexual orientation and sex can be two different things..
Me :
By 'pervert' / 'perverted' I meant lacking clarity. And that is because man is born as such and one needs to do a lot of 'tapas' to grasp this fundamental error.

O bhārata (arjuna) !, from the very birth all beings are subject to delusion caused by the dualities like desire and envy, pleasure and pain.
So it is not my prejudiced view, but Gita tells us so! No one is esception, till one has gone through this point with keen attention.
Questioner ....
But your post will not attract those who are really honest and keen on understanding the key-points. Because of their own 'orientation'. And that will not invite a healthy discussion but rather a prejudiced confused tirade of irrational views may be supported by 'scriptures' and refuted in the same way.
Me :

Questioner :
Yes, but that's already happening all over. Plus, we are not addressing only LGBTQIA issues under the sexuality program..we understand that talking about sexuality means talking about all its aspects.
Me. :
 I doubt if there will be any worthwhile consequence. This needs to be understood first at the individual level and then only could be talked about with others. Who has time and inclination, leave alone the devotion to understand Gita, and the other texts? 'kAma' is but one of the 4 'puruShArtha' for human good (shreyas) . And unless 'kAma' is given that place, no discussion or debate is going to yield any favorable conclusion acceptable to all.
Questioner :
abhi itna gahre utarne mein logon ko thoda samay lagega...
Me. :
There is no question of entering into deeper level. This whole exercise looks so foolish to me. Average man and intellectuals more so even if they have acquired name and status (like those who are returning their 'awards' Sahitya Academy) are utterly confused and the whole film television / entertainment industry is destroying the minds of the next generations. They are inclined to destroy the whole society. Here or at any other place on earth. One can but sure work on finding out an answer to these questions in one's own heart. I don't see that is possible in the present conditions at the level of a group, how-soever learned / educated in the formal sense. In my view as Gita points out : 'Man behaves accordingly as is prompted by one's 'prakrati'.

No difference, no separation, no duality between alive consciousness and obvious simplicity. 💥

Sanskrit rendering of the same to highlight the fact that Sanskrit could be easily seen as the source of French as well . I have tried the Sanskrit cognates of the French words (or whatever Language is here) And composed this peace which may require grammatical correction but the sense is near about the original.

निष्ठा, सिद्धान्त, मत एवं विश्वास इन चार शब्दों पर कुछ कहना चाहूँगा।
अनुभव की पुनरावृत्ति से हमारे आसपास के संसार के प्रति हमारे मन में प्रतिक्रिया  उसकी 'समझ' के रूप में एक तात्कालिक, स्थायी, अस्थायी या परिवर्तनशील विचार पैदा होता है यह एक ओर तो स्मृति बनता है, दूसरी ओर हमारे मन में भविष्य में उठने वाले विचारों को प्रभावित भी करता है।  इसलिए 'विचार' सदा परिवर्तित  रहता है। किन्तु कुछ विचार अपेक्षतया स्थायी रूप ग्रहण कर लेते हैं जिन्हें हम निष्ठा, सिद्धान्त, मत एवं विश्वास आदि नाम देते हैं।  ये शुद्ध 'भौतिक', मानसिक अर्थात् वैचारिक या भावनागमय, बुद्धिगम्य अर्थात् 'निश्चयात्मक' या ऐसी दृढ़ अन्तःप्रेरणा बन जाते हैं जिनकी सत्यता हमारे लिए असंदिग्ध निर्विवाद, अकाट्य होती है।
एक छोटा सा उदाहरण लें -
गुरुत्वाकर्षण का अनुभव जो 'विचार' का रूप ग्रहण करने से पूर्व ही निष्ठा, सिद्धांत, मत, या विश्वास बन जाता है।  ज़रूरी नहीं कि यह शाब्दिक हो, प्रायः सभी अनुभव प्रारंभ में शब्दरहित ही होते हैं किन्तु फिर उन्हें शब्दों से जोड़ दिया जाता है।  बस इतनी सी कहानी है शब्दगत विचार की।
किन्तु विचार-श्रृंखला 'जानकारी' रूप में स्मृति बनकर एक आभासी ज्ञान पैदा करती है जो मूलतः ज्ञान का ही एक भेद है।
गुरुत्वाकर्षण के प्रति 'अनुभव' से हर प्राणी के मन में धरती / पृथ्वी के व्यवहार के  प्रति एक समझ पैदा होती है जो अंतःकरण की एक स्वाभाविक प्रेरणा के रूप में एक निष्ठा हो जाती है।  यह शुद्ध 'भौतिक' निष्ठा हुई।  वैसे ही किसी मनुष्य में इस निरंतर परिवर्तनशील संसार में इसके किसी अपरिवर्तनशील आधार होने का विचार पैदा होता है जिसे वह परिभाषित या व्यक्त भले ही न कर सके किन्तु उसे साक्षात 'जानने' उत्कंठा उसे उसकी खोज करने के लिए सतत प्रेरित करती रहती है।
बाह्य रूप से से ऐसा लग सकता है कि वह अधिक सुखी होने के लिए या दुःख से छुटकारा पाने या नित्य-सुख को पाने के लिए प्रयासरत है, जैसा कि दुनिया भर के जीव किया करते हैं जबकि वस्तुतः उस अपरिवर्तनशील आधार के बारे में जिज्ञासा करनेवाला उस 'निष्ठा' से ही प्रेरित होकर अपने प्रयास करता  प्रायः आध्यात्मिक साधना भी कहा जाता है।
उसके क्रिया-कलापों और व्यवहार के आधार पर इस निष्ठा को 'कर्म-निष्ठा' या 'ज्ञान-निष्ठा'  के रूप में देखा जा सकता है।  प्रथम 'कर्म-योग' जबकि द्वितीय 'ज्ञान-योग' कहा जाता है।
चूंकि उनके लिए प्रयास में संलग्न करनेवाली 'प्रेरणा' मूलतः एक ही होती है, इसलिए  ही वृक्ष की दो शाखाएँ होती हैं।  भगवद्गीता  में इसे ही स्पष्ट किया गया है कि ऊपरी तौर पर कर्म-मार्ग (अर्थात् जैसे भी संभव हो, कर्तृत्व की भावना से छूटकर प्राप्त हुए कर्म का अनुष्ठान करना) और ज्ञान-मार्ग (अर्थात् अपने स्वरूप से परिचित होकर कर्तृत्व की भावना से छूट जाना) दोनों की प्रेरणा और परिणाम एक होने से दोनों स्वरूपतः अभिन्न हैं।                                  
आध्यात्मिक सत्य के वास्तविक जिज्ञासुओं की निष्ठा दो रूपों में हुआ करती है। निष्ठा का अर्थ है वह उपाय जिसके माध्यम से वे इस सत्य का आविष्कार करते हैं।  वह तरीका जिसे उनका मन अनायास स्वीकार कर लेता है।  एक ओर 'कर्म' के प्रति आश्वस्त लोग, तो दूसरी ओर विवेचना और खोज-बीन के द्वारा सत्य को समझने / ग्रहण करने में रुचि रखनेवाले।
एक दृष्टि से ऐसी विवेचना और खोज-बीन भी एक प्रकार का 'कर्म'   दूसरी ओर ऐसी विवेचना और खोज-बीन के अभाव में सम्यक कर्म होना / कर पाना भी संभव नहीं।
मनुष्य इन दो निष्ठाओं में से एक को प्रधान और दूसरी को गौण समझता है।
फिर अन्य दृष्टि से अतीत में हुए ज्ञानियों के आचरण और शिक्षाओं के आधार पर भी उनके बारे में यह अनुमान जा सकता है कि उनमें किस निष्ठा के दर्शन होते हैं।
सामान्यतः सांख्य-दर्शन अज्ञात के बारे में अपरोक्षतः कुछ नहीं कहता, जैसे 'ईश्वर' / 'आत्मा' 'स्वर्ग-नरक', देवी-देवता, सृष्टि या प्रलय आदि। वह सर्वाधिक 'प्रत्यक्ष' की विवेचना के आधार पर अपनी खोज-बीन।  'कर्म' का आग्रह रखनेवाले यह नहीं देख पाते कि कर्म, कर्ता, संकल्प सर्वथा अपरिभाषेय हैं।  इनके बारे में 'विचार' उनका विकल्प नहीं होते।  किन्तु तत्व 'ज्ञान' अर्थात जिसके अंतर्गत कर्म, कर्ता, संकल्प  आदि को सत्यता प्रदान की जाती है अकाट्य, स्वप्रमाणित, नित्य अविकारी सत्यता है। जिसे चेतना कहा जाता है। इसकी सत्यता और सत्ता से कोई असहमत ही नहीं  सकता और न ही इस पर प्रश्न उठाया जाना संभव है। और यद्यपि यह इन्द्रियों, मन (तर्क-शक्ति), बुद्धि (निर्णय-शक्ति) और भावना रूपी अनुभव से ग्राह्य भी नहीं है किन्तु सबमें शुद्ध 'बोध'रूपी इसकी विद्यमानता या अविद्यमानता ही उन्हें कार्य करने में समर्थ या असमर्थ बना देती है।  इस दृष्टि से जे.कृष्णमूर्ति को सांख्य-निष्ठा से युक्त ज्ञानी कहना गलत नहीं होगा।  वे शास्त्रों का प्रायः विरोध नहीं करते और यदि प्रसंगवश करते भी हैं, तो केवल इसलिए कि प्रत्यक्ष और जीवंत संवाद शास्त्र-ज्ञान के परोक्ष और  संदिग्ध अध्ययन / पुनरावृत्ति से कहीं अधिक महत्वपूर्ण है। और फिर जिन्हें शास्त्रों से कुछ मिलता प्रतीत होता है उनसे जे. कृष्णमूर्ति का कोई सरोकार, लगाव / वैमनस्य भी नहीं है।  वे न तो उनकी निंदा करते हैं न प्रशंसा।                   
इस संबंध में श्रीमद्भगवद्गीता का यह एक श्लोक ही सारगर्भित रूप में उनके बारे में काफी कुछ स्पष्ट कर देता है।

Lord śrīkṛṣṇa said :

O sinless arjuna of pure mind! Long ago in times, there are two different kinds of ways to follow for approaching the Supreme which were described by ME (for those who deserve, according to the specific bent of their mind). Those who are inclined to follow the way of sāṅkhya-yoga (by deduction and enquiry into the nature of Reality, Self) are the jñāna-yogins. Others, who emphasize and are inclined to follow the way of action are the karma-yogins.

The Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle
--
"Good Morning!"
"Good Morning!"
"Please tell me if and how Bermuda Triangle is connected with Shiva? How it got the name? Has it a Sanskrit origin?"
"Bermuda Triangle is a hypothetical triangle in the North Atlantic Ocean with Florida, Bermuda and Puerto Rico as its three corners.
There is a पाताल  / pātāla-loka as is described in Ancient Hindu scriptures which is called 'अतल -अंतिक /atala-aṃtika' where-from we could relate 'Atlantic' . There is also mention of an Atlantic Culture, which is supposed to be submerged in ocean.
But the Hindu view looks at this in a different way. 
Basically Hindu-view treats 'Space' as matter only and treats all 'spaces' as embedded in The Cosmic-Space only. 
We know there is cyberspace, a dream-space,a space that we perceive as physical where we are awake at this moment.We can compare a magnetic field, a wi/fi wifi-space as a closed region in some way. Like a CCTV. That too forms / defines a 'Space' in Topological Mathematical parlance. 
Likewise, There is this यक्ष-लोक /  yakṣa-loka, which is there under sea-bed at a depth of (say) 20 miles or more, at that place where the superior conscious beings / spirits named यक्ष /  yakṣa live and reign over that region.We should not forget they live in their own hyper-space that is a sub-space of Cosmic-Space. And there is a subtle tunnel that joins their region with our's, and is invisible to us at the same time. We have no proof, but the disappearance of sea-vessels, ships indicate there is something like this. 
Whenever a ship, plane or other such thing passes through that region, and if those यक्ष / yakṣa, who guard this passage find that their area has been trespassed, they don't delay in taking captive who-so-ever / what-so-ever has done so. They यक्ष / yakṣa, are but
Shiva-devotee only and according to their destiny / will stay in यक्ष-लोक /  yakṣa-loka, as long as they would."
"O.K. But is not everything and all in Shiva-loka only? why don't they let humans enter their domain?"
"It is their own chosen Kingdom, and this may be a 1000 times or more bigger that our world in fact. And just we have our own 'sovereign' nations on earth, they too have their 'sovereign' 'loka'. Not only they, but there are such innumerable loka-s all embedded in one Supreme Cosmic-Space -शैष्मिक-स्पर्श / śaiṣmika-sparśa."
"O.K. Then how could we know about them with surety?"
"When we know what / how we are after our individual death..."
"That is a prerequisite almost impossible to be fulfilled!"
"No, when we try to find out what we are as essence we come to the irrefutable conclusion that we are but the consciousness that has made this body, mind thought its instrument to show up as manifestation. This manifestation keeps on emerging out and dissolving again for every individual though the consciousness is not a person / individual other than the manifestation, the person talks about."
"So, Are these यक्ष / yakṣa no person?"
"Yes and no. Yes, because they have maintained / preserved their personality as an entity different from Shiva, in order to serve Him as His devotee, because they have utterly disregardful of this tiny thing, the ego, which they feel must stay in a servant's capacity only. And, No, because they have realized there is only Shiva and nothing no-one except Him."
"What happens of a human being who dies without coming across this knowledge?"
"Immediately after the death, he goes to (finds himself in) प्रेत -लोक / preta-loka. The Region of the dead."
"How long one stays there?"
"As long as the body is not disposed-off in a proper and right way!"
"What does that mean?"
"See, The five-elements that have turned into this body should return to their source...."
"How is that done?"
"Only by means of burning the dead."
"Why?"If the body is not burned completely, the elements in the dead body continue to maintain a vague or strong sense of being a person. This assumption / the soul clings to the body and keeps suffering whatever happens to the body."
"What happens to those who are buried or disposed-off in waters, or left for the vultures?"
"This may be according to the belief of the one who died..."
"Why we don't cremate the ज्ञानी / jñānī ?"
"Because His body has become a temple of Shiva"
"Oh!"
"?"
"What about 
नागलोक, हंसलोक, गन्धर्वलोक, देवलोक, मनुष्यलोक, स्वर्गलोक, यमलोक, ब्रह्मलोक, /  nāgaloka, haṃsaloka, gandharvaloka, devaloka, manuṣyaloka, svargaloka, yamaloka, brahmaloka?"
"They all and many more are there but all are in Shiva and Shiva only in them all. Know this and don't forget Him." 
"Thanks!" 
"Welcome!"

चिरंतन कथा / Epic Story

चिरंतन कथा / Epic-Story 
-- 
Dear Emily !
In the early morning, an hour before sun-rise, I was thinking of your problem. I felt your boy-friend is not your problem. Your real problem is sense of insecurity in relationship. And he could think of intimidating and exploiting you at this emotional level. First you should understand and get rid of this sense of insecurity. If you understand well that nothing external can affect 'the real you', you can see that this sense of insecurity is the result of the imagination of 'future'. This imagination has no relation what-so-ever really happens in so-called future. And what we know of future when it has come out, is again in terms of memory and our interpretation of that memory only. 
As Maharaj in 
'I AM  THAT ' / अहं  ब्रह्मास्मि  Chapters 33, 39)
points out 'Nothing really happens', if you stay in the understanding of 'I', bring your attention repeatedly to this most simple fact that could be easily always grasped / remembered and come upon to, your interest in the external happenings would gradually diminish. 
So try to see this and expect not, fear not, desire not. Do your work sincerely and leave all to Guru / God / I. 
p.s. And in case, even if  per chance, you know; could you alter the course of future?

Why there is desire and how it can be satisfied?

Why there is desire and how it can be satisfied?
--
A wise question, ... indeed!
Usually people ask the second part only, 
Rarely some-one a bit intelligent asks the basic question.
And there are experts, spiritual teachers who could help you discover many colors of the rainbow desire is. 
And there are learned philosophers, thinkers and management gurus who are eager to point out how desire is the movement of life, how ambition transforms you into a superman.
Achieve, Have Ambition, Aim at a highest goal, Believe in the impossible!
But you asked : “how it can be satisfied?”
There are compulsions, needs, necessities, and desires.
Compulsions are the natural inevitable needs, if not fulfilled threaten the very survival.
The air, water, food and physical security. Good health, sleep, hunger, thirst, exercise, work, ...
Needs are secondary requirements that enhance the quality of living. Like a house, a livelihood, family and society, ...
Necessities are the amenities that help maintaining a level of living.
The last in this sequence is ‘desire’.
‘’Desire’ is something born of imagination.
It could be satisfied or may not, depends.
And even if satisfied may or may not make us happy. Even the result may be quite disturbing. 
very different from the expectations, even shocking.
The most mysterious / cryptic part of the desire is : it is elusive, if not illusory.
The desire seems to have essence but has only form without substance.
And there are countless desires that arise, appear moment to moment in varied hues and colors.
And the ridiculous fact is that most of the desires are contradictory.
I love that girl.
At the moment I am gripped by desire.
I think I really love that girl.
But the fact is, I love my pleasure.
That girl is secondary.
There are chances I would meet yet another more charming, more lovely girl.
And I would begin thinking of her.
A girl, a boy are but living beings.
But there are innumerable things which I want to own and discard in a fraction of a second.
And though desires satisfied bring a certain relief from the tension caused by my imagination of getting pleasure from that object, this rarely brings  a change in my attitude or maturity of mind. I remain as much a fool as I was before the desire was satisfied. 
But sometimes a desire fulfilled or unfulfilled may draw my attention to the very anomalous nature of  desire itself.
Then I can realize for sure that all desires are alike.
And no desire needs to be fulfilled for no desire could make me more perfect than I am already. And no desire can lessen my perfection.
And if this is realized, you at once see why there is desire.
Desire is but a movement of thought, physically within the brain, and mentally in consciousness. In brain; - in the thought-form, which could be detected by some sophisticated instrument. In mind; - You are either allured / distracted by the suggestion given to you by this thought. This  thought may induce a pleasing / unpleasing feeling in your mind. A ‘Like’ / ‘dislike’.
This mental fact when seen, loses its grip over you. And desire holds no more control over you.

______________________
i.1 Ignorance.
--
waking-state of mind (undefined) begins with ignorance. From the very beginning, in this state one is ignorant / oblivious / forgetful of everything including the world of one's perceptions and of oneself (undefined). And mind and oneself is undefined, because one is just ignorant of them till the memory and recognition stirs in a moment how small or long one is also ignorant of that.
Once stirred, the memory transforms the perception into a world of appearances some of which one assumes granted and is convinced of their existence in a way so as to deal with practically deal in some or some other way according and in the given format of the earlier memory.
This waking-up in a world where sensory perceptions are at this moment very pure and genuine, pristine and virgin, unadulterated, the all-pervading 'ignorance (undefined)' prevails, and is thought of as a mystery, darkness or in some other term with in the sense of negative affirmation.We say and give it attributes and qualities in negative / ambiguous terms only.
--
i.2 Illusion.
--
As soon the memory stirs, a program is run which projects a 'world' on the monitor of the 'mind'. As the memory itself is a jumbled-up mess, a store-house of incoherent earlier impressions in audio-visual forms and their responses - which are again the effects based on even more earlier impressions, this whole program creates a another perception of the situation prevailing at the moment when memory began to come into action. We tend to say this whole thing takes place in a flash of a second, but the assumption / idea of 'flash of a second' is again part of the ignorance only.
Whatever be the case, as soon the phenomenal world appears before the mind, a cluster of secondary responses spurt and come into action and the aggregate effect of that causes many illusions like the continuity and stability of a world, of a 'world-picture' which has no essence and consistency in any way. Such a 'world' is but an 'idea' of the mind, an inference based on the truth of the things gathered in the memory. This is the birth of an 'idea'. 'idea' is a tertiary program next to memory, while memory is the secondary to ignorance.
--
i.3 Idea.
--
Idea is the third stage of the functioning of mind when RAM And ROM intermingle to create the core-illusion, the division of 'oneself' and the word around 'oneself'. While 'ignorance' persisted, this division was not there. This core-illusion then takes in the reins of the functioning of the mind assuming an existence, a role-play as the coordinator / administrator. Soon manages all other various 'ideas'that are generated by and maintained in memory only and gains the status of the supreme authority and dictator. Like all other thoughts this 'I-thought' too is but an idea, though at once becomes the prominent and the most important one. all other 'ideas' become ardent committed unquestioning slaves, until two or more mutually competing and contradictory ideas come across this 'I-thought'. This is the beginning of confusion.
--
i-4 I-thought.
--
The physical body is centered around the world and in fact is part of the world only, made / composed of the same material as the world is made / composed of . The body could not survive even for a second if there is no world or the support of those elements that the world is made of. The mind is centered around the body, and cannot exist / survive in the absence of the body. The brain is but a part of the body only in the most physical sense. The brain is the place where the memory rests. And the memory is but an aggregate of ideas only.
When 'I-thought' is seen as yet another idea like so many other ideas and is unable to live in isolation from those all,is unable to survive independently of them, this too just vanishes without leaving a trace. It assumes / appears to have an independent existence of its own as a thing, and is always associated with another idea, with another thought. The two appear and disappear together.
Then there is the illumination of the all-pervading consciousness, then the awareness dawns that erases the core-illusion -the division of 'oneself' and the word around 'oneself'. 
--
i-5 Illumination.
--
 This seems to serve as an example of 'ida', an acronym for :
Automatic Divine Action :
'A misconception about spirituality, true spirituality, is that everything needs to be and appear peaceful, loving and good; that reaction is taken automatically as wrong and un-Yogi-like, or un-Godly-like (or you can find any 'un' religious perception you want to spin). That a persons' inclinations or ways die into a sense of pure goodness. It is not like that. 

Not for all. Being good or bad is a judgment. Being, just being does not have to have any restrictions to it. Spirituality is knowing with conviction you cannot be touched. That you are like Sky, and body-mind will do what it needs to do. It is not for everyone. There is a bit of divine madness that comes with this understanding.'
Hope I could well conclude here this part (i-5 Illumination.)of this post.

   I would not add what the scriptures tell about the one who has attained the stage i-5. 
I would like to refer to:
"On an eternal voyage."by Vimala Thakar,
and
The years of Awakening :J.Krishnamurti   
+ 
The years of Fulfillment: J.Krishnamurti    

which are in a way a candid assertion that what is usually known by people as 'Enlightenment'is not a 'sudden'kind of spurt in consciousness, but comparatively much long 'a process' and has its own 'discipline'.

I don't think I should comment upon the spiritual status of any common or great individual. The reader is suggested to have / form his / her own opinions whatever.
