The Sixth Sense.

--

Water Seeks Its Level, 

Rises Up And Up,

Till Has Reached. 

Or Falls Down And Down,

Till Has Reached.

Attracted By Gravity.

Air Seeks Its Space,

Space Is Its Brevity.

In All Directions, 

Here, There, Where Not!

Till It Becomes Omnipresent.

Fire Seeks Height, 

Up And Up, Upwards,

Attracted By Levity,

Till Has Reached The Heavens!

Space / Sky And Matter / Earth, 

Seek Nothing, 

For They Are Ever So Perfect, 

As And Where They Are!

The Intelligence Stays Aware, 

Unaffected, Unaltered, Immutable,

The Sixth Sense,

Where-in And Where-at.

The Existence Rejoices, 

In Its Splendor!!

Crypto Or A I?

P O E T R Y :

Chasing The Mirage.

----------------©----------------

Before / Till Now,

He Was Interested In The Crypto, 

Now He Is Interested In The A I.

Says He!

Hope He May Soon Loses,

All Interest In A I.

Then Find Something Else, 

Much More Interesting,

That May Catch His Attention, 

And Fascination!

In India, 

We Call It A Mirage,

One May Call It A Utopia.

How Soon A Desire, 

Takes Hold Of Us!

Tethered To It, 

We Just Fail To See, 

How All The Time, 

We Keep On,

Chasing The Mirage!

I Wanted To Tell Him, 

But Who Am I?

Why Would He, 

Listen To Me?  

May Be Now Or Later, 

Life Itself Would Tell Him,

Life Itself Would Teach Him, 

How A I Is No Intelligence,

Seeing The Mirage As A Mirage,

Is The Only Intelligence,

Worth The Name!

The Only Challenge

The humankind is facing many a challenges at this time and no one is sure how we as a whole could resolve and overcome these challenges.

But if looked carefully, we may uninamously agree that the only challenge that should be dealt with is :

How to restore the balance of human population in comparison proportionately with the other living creatures over the globe.

We can't ever think of achieving this goal by means of war, disease, or through applying the  ways of birth-control.

If we don't meet this challenge on our own, we are bound to fall prone to the whims of nature. 

Nature takes its own recourse, in its own ways. 

It's true we may reconsider the ways through penance and austerities that is observed by the ascetics. Only those, who look this as the only practical option for the future of the mankind would follow this spiritual discipline for their own ultimate benefit, however the same is also equally true for all others as well. 

All and everyone can see that the resources at our hands are enough for living the human life with peace and in harmony, if we are not after grabbing and hoarding the things which we don't need. 

This may be the only INTELLIGENCE that we may come across.

And no politician, scientist or organised religion is perhaps going to help you in reaching this INTELLIGENCE.

Frontiers of Knowledge.

ज्ञा > जानाति, meaning 'to know' in Sanskrit, is the verb-root which turns into 

"knowledge" and "knowing".

"knowledge" is memory and information encoded in the framework of "thought" / words,  while "knowing" is "wisdom" which has the verb-root विद् > विद्यते, वेत्ति, विन्दते, वेदयति, 

which respectively means : 

exists, knows, gains / finds, and learns.

Again, the word 'find' (German > 'finden') is cognate (सज्ञात,सजाति) of the Sanskrit word :

अवग्रहण / ग्रहण

Respectively.

I always loved reading, going through the blogs about the latest developments in :

Science, Medicine, Mathematics, Psychology, and the contemporary and ancient religion.

Yesterday I came across these posts :

This is just a brief account of what kind of topics I like to go through, while on the net. 

Because of so many reasons I'm just unable to have and afford a computer of my own.

So far, I always noted these and other such present latest developments are far behind the way Veda and Vedanta deal with various aspects of knowledge,  knowing and wisdom, even what we think is "INTELLIGENCE".

पतञ्जलि clearly and concisely defines "THOUGHT" as  "वृत्ति",

which loosely translated into English could be replaced by the word :

"consciousness".

Obviously, Thought is verily 

"The natural intelligence".

And "Thought" can never transcend it's own frontiers : 

"THE KNOWN".

While wisdom is but a flash of intelligence, it is ever so conditioned / made into a slave by "THOUGHT", that it rarely manifests in its genuine form.

All our latest research is prompted and prodded by "THOUGHT".

I often remember how 

मुण्डकोपनिषद् 

deals with this in terms of :

परा विद्या  

and,

अपरा विद्या .

Then  Gita (श्रीमदभगवद्गीता)

Tells unequivocally :

व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धिरेकेह कुरुनन्दन। 

बहुशाखःह्यनन्ताश्च बुद्धयोऽव्यवसायिनाम् ।। ४१

भोगैश्वर्यप्रसक्तानां तयाऽपहृतचेतसाम् ।

व्यवसायात्मिका बुद्धिः समाधौ न विधीयते ।। ४४

Still I wonder, deeply feel and anxious where we are heading towards. I sincerely admit, I have no any solution for the present day predicament the mankind has been caught into.
