connoisseur is provocateur

a response with a right understanding is a great compliment to the artist.

it is in fact ,a compliment to the one who has responded as well  for his capacity to receive the message.

koi suntha nahi khudake siva [ none listens, except god]----laments a soul

if there is one who can listen , is he not equal to khuda himself?

good absorbers are good radiators--a law in the subject of heat transfer

capacity to receive is a great divine gift

that is why an adage --blowing shankha at a deaf ear

the understanding unites the artist and the connoisseur, establishes a contact ,a channel, thru which the friendship flows, intimacy grows instantly,

both become a unity, a bigger whole, 
a richer wealth, --separate atoms becoming a molecule.

the phenomenon becomes more picturesque on a stage performance, may be a speech, poetry,  drama, dance, music

the artist and audience having acquired / rather taken in to one unity, 
they revel in that bigger dimension, the self referral unity.

due to the self referral effect, the knowledge / performance flows in unexpected new channels with extempore / spontaneity , 

the depth increases, the art flows, all getting immersed in the ocean of unity,
the bliss of ,goodness, beauty, --
the rasaanubhoothi

rasagnatha, the ability to appreciate, receive, respond is a great quality comparable to an expert who can cognize gems, 

he moves up in taste, some new channels inside get opened by the effect of the artists performance, an instant elevation to a gandharva loka , the world of angels, gods, probably

hence it' s importance and one poet extolled its import saying that  it is like fragrance adding value to flower

in the company of rasagnas, or rasikas, the enlightened receivers , the artist gets inspired beyond a measure and his souls pleased, blesses him much more creativity to display.

response need not be a empty praise, flattery, a formality, a favor--it can be a criticism to share more points of views ,more beauty added in effect. 

artists grow a lot with response, 
correct the inadvertent mistakes , 
see new visions, new ways to flow, 
and reach a level of perfection, more quickly than in a situation of no response. 

thus,  connoisseurs  are  provocateurs 

and thus the artists and the provocateurs help each others , both growing and sharing performance and praise mutually,

and both move to a new world 
and the known world thereby expands, gets filled with knowledge and fulfillment

well, leads me to add---
god is the artist/expressing in various forms/ in creation/thru creation /thru creatures

bhakth is the connoisseur, and hence provocateur

both unite in sharing bliss

also
artist and art both form a pair in self referral of artist

and artist, himself, is the best connoisseur, in the best self referral with his best self , the provocateur

   comments can be standardized

i often wondered , is it necessary to comment at events, my previous comments holding good with slight revision to suit the news of history repeating.

i felt comments can be standardized to suit different themes of history—repeating with  change only in name, place, time, temperature, humidity, colour, quality, quantity, frequency, — a change —all like a huge tree sending out  the same leaf flower or fruit, seasonal.

the seed has not changed hence the same crop.

this leads to finalizing it in the form of a quote, an adage, a saying—this leading me to find that  the sayings endured times, and some became classic.—-mainly due to repetition of history, and people emoting correspondingly.—–this is at the level of history.

extending the logic to the level of legend, mythology, tradition, smrithies, puranas, —- we can find similarly how the ”reactions” have been standardised and getting used as they are –to emote in perfect fashion, without spending creative energies to write on trivialities of times and simply serving the contemporary purpose equally well.

the comment can be a huge book, an essay, an anecdote, a passage, a para, a sentence, and even a single word [brevity, the soul of wit], a sigh ,  a curse, a derision, a laugh , a smile or even a silence.

the present case, also a repetition of corrupt judicial–a person in high office behaving low

standard comments:

sumathi says”kanakapu simhasanamuna shunakamu koorchunda betty…venukati guna mela maanu!” [a dog enthroned, cannot overcome its tendencies]

bible says ”you are the salt of the earth….”

sankara says ”nahi nahi rakshathi ….” all the erudition cannot save you, fool, bhaja govindam, he only can if you care

that is how the wisdom is–some times elaborating into detailed upakhyanam, some other times, condensing itself in to pithy quotes–like a plant elaborating into all details of tree and the same condensing itself into a summary in the form of a seed.

  consolidate

let me consolidate all random scattered diamonds and pearls, jewels and marvels  and start creating beautiful art works

  

connectivity to self is a must

Each expression of gita is a hyper link to enormous wisdom

and can be accessed individually verse wise or as a sum / essence

 if one is having the connectivity to his inner self,

 all the essence of gita opens from within , without the need of reading/listening of gita

without that inner connectivity , just reading literal meaning and interpretations will be superficial and incomplete"

 

First and foremost , earliest in life Shankracharya realized, experienced, stabilized in the transcendental pure consciousness, became yogastha, and hence was able to proclaim----chidanda roopah, shivoham shivoham

 

and could give authentic bhashya of the gita , in the light of his own inner light ,

 

he validated the truth of gita by the strength of his experience of the self

was able to say''bhagavathgita kinchidhadheetha ......''

 

if he did not have the inner connectivity, he would not have done justice to such scriptures

 

scriptures reveal their essence, not thru just reading , but with the help of inner connectivity

so my emphasis is on gaining the inner connectivity first and foremost

if not nahi nahi rakshathi dukrun karani, just reading no help"

 

"Point must be noted by all spiritual explorers. that -----only a self realized master -----can provide the effective guidance,

and enables the aspirant to successfully gain the most essential self realization , in shortest time

 

Merely repeating scriptures will not lead to self realization

in fact , reading of any scripture is not a prerequisite ,

nor a means for self realization even under a pure devotee

 

self realization is ''going beyond '' every thing, including the scriptures,

 

as a result of self realization, one will gain the ability to access the inner scriptures , and starts expressing the same without prior reading , but his expression will tally those with scriptures

 

"Just reading no help

 

kindly see lord's dictum

 

nistrai-gunyo bhavarjuna

 

Bhagavad-gita As It Is 2.45]

 

trai-gunya-vishaya vedanistrai-gunyo bhavarjuna

nirdvandvo nitya-sattva-stho niryoga-kshema atmavan

 

The Vedas deal mainly with the subject of the three modes of material nature. O Arjuna, become transcendental to these three modes.

Be free from all dualities and from all anxieties for gain and safety,

and be established in the self.

 

All material activities involve actions and reactions in the three modes of material nature. They are meant for fruitive results, which cause bondage in the material world. The Vedas deal mostly with fruitive activities to gradually elevate the general public from the field of sense gratification to a position on the transcendental plane. Arjuna, as a student and friend of LordKrishna, is advised to raise himself------ to the transcendental ------'''

hence, the need of going beyond the naama, roopa, mahima, guna, leela, gaathaa, gaana, vaadya, naatya,

 

if not one is held up in the bhava sagar, innocently even in the name of bhakthi, devotion

 

once the transcendental unmanifest essence is owned, one gets the access / command / familiarity to the essence of all scriptures , vedas, gita, without reading at all ,

 

more over his life will be validating the scriptural truth naturally , without the imposition of rules dos donts or surrender bhakthi , pooja,

 

he lives  ‘’yad yad karma karomi thath thath akhilam shambho thava aaraadhanam’’

 

 the message of gita is ''go beyond '' , become muktha,

 

do not hang on at any level, even as bhaktha to a duality of ''me and he''

 

rise to ''thath thvam asi ''"

  Ahimsa paramo dharmah

Cruelty is bad in any form, to any one,
cow, bull, bird, beast, man ,insect
tree, plant, environment 
in any pretext, in any context, 
spiritual, scriptural, habitual, 
faith, belief, superstition, tradition
we must be kind to all, 
but within practical limits 
with best discretion guiding our actions
to find creative solutions with infinite alternatives

since god is mouldable your statement also is true 

since your statement also is true,,god is unmouldable 

how to reconcile two which are opposites

1 as unmanifest nirgun niraakar, he is unmouldable into any aakaar 

2 as manifest sagun saakaar, he is mouldable into any aakaar,

Difficult to answer

but i feel , ''life'' is one of the forms of consciousness

consciousness has inert, living forms

ie,1 jad , lifeless, , 2 jeeva, living, 

living has shuptha, swapna, jagruth chethan, 

man can experience turia, samadhi 

so when one dies, his consciousness becomes inert ,,,,, i think

It may be like a lighted candle put off

God is unity of all diversity, and opposing values 

god is strictest boss 

god is the kindest boss

Unmanifest is not mouldable

manifest is mouldable

also

manifest is raw material

unmanifest is finished product 

and vice versa also true 

we can understand and interpret in any way

each interpretation is a creation , , a product

every devotee creates as per his ability , like a better weaver weaves and produces better cloth

like a better designer/engineer creates better machines, allow me to peep in to it now and thenthis is my no praise in vain , not me, but my heart wants to pen on discovering an angel in st's den"

 

"Shruthi smruthi puraanaanaamin tapas, rishi cognizes richa, in akshra, parame vyoman expresses as vedawhat is heard is shruthi what is jotted down is smruthi

smruthi expanded is darshana

 

darshana compounded with localization is puraana

 

puraana fragmented are udanthas upaakhyaanas

 

updated to yugas become yuga dharma

updated to contemporary ,come as stories, novels, episodes, news views reviews comments, ethics, norms, customs, systems"

 

 

one will have real gain ----only when--- one really experiences pure awareness--- once at least ---for a fraction of a second ---for entire life

 

if not '' nahi nahi rakkshathi du krun karani ''

do it by any knack , guru, master, technic, method anything ok but result is the thing most important but without it all is waste

life is wasted"

 

 

 

 

"1 on forward journey , everything to be left behind, even bhakthi, devotion , [ ie the subtlest levels of the mind , ]bhakthi, devotion, though is glorious , though quite promising, yet is binding , stuck with name and form,with qualities and glories of beloved god, ista devatha , is a subtle obstruction , blurring the sight, on forward journey to the transcendent para brahma, nameless formless attributeless

 

2 but on return journey the same , all gross and subtle, subtlest encounters are great treasures , that is how the seeker once completes the direct flight is coming back to earth with all the wealth, and here he becomes the baul, fakir since he has earned and in possession of that which has to be earned and possessed he has nothing to care

 

here he enjoys''all what ever i do is thy worship o shambho ''yad yad karma karomi thath thath akhilam shambho thava aaraadhanam"

 

 

this is the point most seekers miss in their grasp A human being can’t live at ‘Turiya’ state permanently. ----

 

transcendence is most important, but only the first episode of life ,

it is like one studying and becoming the graduate in engg, ----

very important, but then what further?

 

he will not keep quiet , and will not just eat and sleep he practices the profession, designs, manufactures products, distributes, contributes a lot to life ''He needs to come down to the level where he can interact with the world to survive his life. I feel, the in depth thought of ‘Baul’ tries to solve this problem .

 

So, their concept is instead of ‘No Mind’ state let it be ‘Free Mind’.

here starts the real, new, more important episodes,

he re-engineers the universe, discovers/ creates new worlds he lives engg in life

 

he lives the divinity, the mukthi, freedom in his think talk walk totally , i call this the return flight to life back, with his earned wealth a baul is fakir. , but he is ''rich'' fakir"

 

that is how vedas emerged, and one gets the glimpse of vedic truths directly without reading/ understanding what veda is

   Come back to lost track

our original bharathiya tradition rooted in athma gyan
our ancients always were wary of arishadvarga

kam krodh lobh moh mada mathsarya
which corrupt our values 

corrupt our personality 
corrupt our natural right to anand 

no other way
any other will not solve

subdue the 6 enemies with intense tapasya,
transform the basic nature 

spiritual systems traditions

available aplenty.

move forward from book reading ,
ways commercialism ,

take help from great.
enough guidance exists 

a little practice is missing
take things to heart 

pray god, meditate 
surely chastity, honesty will dawn

starting with yourself ,

spreads like sun rising morn 

do not mourn it's no doom
hope for a better tomorrow

and work for it today now 

time for start of fresh day fresh life 

   change, 

the most charming, most beautiful, most threatening, most mysterious aspect life is the change, that is ubiquitous, and is ever happening nonstop it’s a wonder to see how life has sustained against all the challenges in the life it is the creativity that plays vital role. one who is more creative, will be more successful creative abilities can be enhanced by accessing the source of creativity, that is the field of no change, the core, the self of the individual"

"''Change is indeed an inevitable part of life. It happens whether we’re ready or not. One of the secrets of living successfully is to learn to handle the changes we find coming our way''--------.manifest life is all change, it is ever changing, relative

unmanifest life is nil change, it is never changing, absolute 

man is a composite unity of both, man is integral with environment, rain sun, day, night, hot, cold, but must be ready with innovative solutions to make the most of the certainty of change 

when sun sets, man does not continue to grope in the dark, he lights a lamp 

when it rains, he comes out with a rain coat and cap, in cold he wraps himself with swatters and mufflers 

change is a challenge, and an opportunity to learn and grow, one has to adapt, has to acclimatize, to survive, to sustain life, all civilization is just an episode of man's continuous adaptation to the changes happening in every area, every phase, everywhere

 in fact , the beings have inbuilt inner mechanism to generate appropriate features to combat with adverse environ man wears foot wear. cattle has hard feet to overcome hot summer and thorns pricks

   Change is the key word

till the best , optimum, ideal is reached.

then stability is the requirement

to sustain the best, till it starts stinking .

again change is required

to brings the new possibilities, still better, 

and the cycle of change and stability must continue,

life being a flowing stream

driving away the stink, 

giving way to clean . 

citizens know how to get rid of the stink 

they made many a stalwarts to blink 

saved the country not to sink 

proving they can originally think 

and all present, even the best, and stables 

will be sent to rest in stables

   Competition yes,

we must compete this is the game of evolution,

to explore more intelligent avenues

to succeed and win with flying colors .

without competition with my mates,

i would not have come out first class with distinction,

to occupy an important post serving the nation ,

all my success small or big is due to

my competing with my colleagues in every field,

it makes one a leader, a pioneer from the ordinary stuff .

it is a divines gift
