If I die today,
I would like to die,
An absolute, ultimate and final death.
Complete total in all respects.
Where nothing of 'me' remains.
Not even the 'me' that would see;
'I am no more', 
'I am dead.'
For, it is obvious that if it survives,
The death was fake,
Not an absolute, ultimate,
Complete or total.
Not a wholesome,
In every respect.
I wonder,
How to ensure,
I would die such a wonderful death !!
If I can,
I would like sure,
To die such a fantastic death,...!!

Anubandha-Chatushtaya / अनुबन्ध-चतुष्टय

~~Anubandha-Chatushtaya~~
___________________________
***************************

© Vinay Vaidya 

I candidly admit that I got the inspiration for writing my earlier
'post' / 'Note', 'Utility-Model' from 'Anubandha-Chatushtaya' 
(’अनुबन्ध-चतुष्टय’), the well-known classical model of Veda
and Vedanta for determining who should teach, who is to be
taught, what is the subject-matter, that is, what is to be taught.
And of course, the fourth factor is the 'purpose'of the teaching.
These are the four 'foundations', the four prominent and core
pillars upon which the Gigantic Edifice of any kind of education
stands. 
So, in a nut-shell it is a key-principle for the transmission of any
'knowledge', and specifically the 'Supreme-Wisdom' (Brahma-
Vidya).
The 'Anubandha-chatushtaya' ( ’अनुबन्ध-चतुष्टय’ ) deals with ;
1. 'Adhikari' (’अधिकारी’)
2.'Vishaya' (’विषय’),
3.'Sambandha' (’संबंध’),
and,
4.'Prayojana' (’प्रयोजन’).
Only a competent, qualified person only can receive, acquire, 
use and give such 'knowledge' / 'skill' / 'Wisdom'. There should 
be aptitude, interest, and the right attitude on the part of such a
qualified / eligible / deserving student / teacher.If out of these 4
key-points, anything is missing, the purpose can not be fulfilled.


The above is true for any discipline of  knowledge, skill, wisdom.
And Vedanta, Therefore never cares for giving out the knowledge 
to, any-one who is not a deserving student.
In history, so many intellectuals tried to understand the essentials
of Vedanta in their own way, and only those who really deserved,
and had intrinsic aptitude could reach there, but those who were
not of mature and pure mind, have distorted perceptions of the
Vedantika Truths, but in fact harmed themselves and the humanity 
at large to a great extent. It is true that no one needs to worry for
the protection of this Divine Knowledge. Because the Knowledge

Supreme is an Awareness / Consciousness (चैतन्य) that keeps 

those elements away from Itself.

The Utility Criteria - My 'Model'

© Vinay Vaidya 

 The Utilty Pyramid 

This criteria, my modesl is a pyramidal .

The four verices are -

1. Cost.

2. Price.

3. Value.

4. Worth.

Hypothesis : If the pyramid is balanced, the 'Utility' is optimal.

By Cost I mean the expences incurred in the production.

By Price, I mean the exchange value 'offerred' .

By Value, I mean The real competitive affordable exchange value.

By Worth I mean the satisfaction achieved from the product. 

I had studied Economics a bit, and didn't pass any examination.

Wanted to check, how the friends evaluate this .

Wandering hither and thither,
I had been,
Trying to find out a way,
Out of this maddening labyrinth
Of 'Philosophy', and 'philosophies',
When the Guru entered stealthily,
Guided me,
Despite all my overt,
And covert resistence,
And said,
Forget all,
That, whatever you have learned,
Leave aside all,
That, whatever you have acquired.
For it is not your's.
Leave the doubt and the faith,
That are the two branches of the tree of 'knowledge',
-The 'known'.
And awaken to 'The Wisdom'.
For, Wisdom is not information,
It is not another escape from the Truth,
And it is ever there,
As your heart,
As the Truth of Love,
As the Love of Truth,
As the Love and Truth.
But before you discover this,
You need to remove the distractions,
Of your wandering mind,
Accept that you know nothing.
Just look with your eyes,
Wide open in wonder,
The Life,
That is within and without.
Without the intervention of the knowledge,
Without the interpretation of your mind,
That is laden with concepts, and words,
The one that out of fear and greed,
Defines the Right and the Wrong,
And the Good and the Bad.
"What about scriptures ?"
-A doubt raised it's head.
Unless and untill,
Your insight is awakened,
"You are not qualified to interpret them."
He replied.
And other's views are secondary,
Even more confusing.
And I obeyed,
I followed,
And followed.
Because He WAS the insight,
And He WAS the Straightforward conviction,
Born out of my own understanding.
Coming out from my very being.
And it was the Begining of the End,
Of my search.

~~The Way of 'Desire'.~~

~~The Way of Desire.~~
_______________________
***********************
(© Vinay Vaidya)

"Desire is the bondage".
Scriptures say.
Well,
Desire is the way of bondage.
But 'the desire' is not as bad,
As one thinks.
And a desire is not as bad,
As the multiple desires.
And a multitude of desires is not as bad as,
The contradictory and conflicting desires.
And again,
The contradictory, conflicting desires,
Are not as bad,
As being ignorant of them.
And the worse is to ignore them knowingly.
And to ignore them is as bad as,
Being unaware of them.
Paying no attention to them.
And the worst is the inattention,
That is always there from the beginning.
And awakening to this fact,
Is the beginning of Awareness.
Attention of the in-attentiveness,
Is the only way.
The way of Intelligence.
The Only right action,
That is the cause and effect of its own.

~~The Sky.~~

~~ The Sky ~~
________________________
************************


The sky is ever so cloudless,
Transparent, 
Peaceful,
And Blissful.
But the roar and dark of the clouds,
Causes the illusion,
And a 'belief' is born,
That makes Him believe,:
'He' is lost, confused,
Wandering.
The clouds disperse on there own,
And along-with the belief,
And the 'Illusion'.
And 'He' knows, :
He is ever so cloudless,
Transparent,
Peaceful,
And Blissful.

~~ Nostalgia ~~

**************




Nostalgia,
Nostalgia,
Nostalgia,
Living in the past,
Is a burden,
One wants to put down,
And a pleasure,
To cherish in the heart,
To keep oscillating,
Between the two,
Gives a sense of fulfillment,
And one holds onto,
In hope,
Forgetting the griefs and despairs,
Looks like a momentary freedom,
Feels like an eternity.

Love, Relationship and Relatedness.

You can love only yourself. And you can love 

yourself truly, only if you know yourself. 

And 

knowing yourself doesn't mean you have 

an 

image of yourself, and you like / dislike that 

image. Loving yourself means you really try 

to understand and learn about yourself, 

-What you Are or Are Not !

Then you come across an emptiness. 

This Emptiness swallows you, 

whatever you had been so for. 

Your 'self' remains no more. 

And you discover for the first time that this 

emptiness is pure joy and whatsoever comes 

into its touch gets dissolved/merged into It.

Then You are Love. You are in communion 

with everything. You can call it relatedness 

or may be relationship. It knows no end.

The Wanderer and the seeker.

They are two,
They are one.
One is the seeker,
But knows not.
The other is a wanderer,
But with a purpose.
The seeker forgets the purpose very often.
Yet forgets not.
The wanderer gets a glimps of it,
Occassionally.
But keeps forgetting.
They see the Truth,
And the way to it,
When the mind is not opaque.

And is the way itself.

When it is transparent like a crystal.

Sharp like a blade.

And one can walk over it like a snail.

It dissects, and penetrates,

Like a ray of Light,

The dark of the ignorance.

But injures never the one,

Who walks on the way.

For the seeker Himself is the Ray.

And the seeker Himself is the Way.

Search begins when one feels,

Something is lacking.

When there is discontent.

And hope and fear,

Doubt or uncertainty

About the anticipated 'future',

Of the 'past' that may repeat.

And most often,

One is driven by the need of the moment.

In the direction, by habit or experience.

But for a human,

After fulfilling the bodily urges,

It is but natural to explore the unknown.

The Vast Existence, the stars and galaxies,

And Beyond.

And the death, the birth, and the life itself.

The joy of exploring the unknown,

Is itself the incentive and a reward,

Of his ventures, and adventures,

In the unknown.

But one matures and finds again,

Something is lacking.

And most often, stops the search.

For, there is left no more urge.

A few then turn within,

To look for the 'one',

Who had been busy so far,

But still remained unknown.

And what one finds out,

knows oneself alone.
