Mahabharata

The first book ever ..

Back then, when stories were only told, it took a series of eighteen books to conclude the epic. On its wings, it took the 'text' to far ends of human reach.

Fate

Bhagya (abstract noun) - The generally accepted meaning of this Sanskrit word is "fate". If we peel a layer, the meaning reduces to the way things unfold in (immediate) present — our sensory reality. Somewhat opposite of this word is "Destiny" — the long term outcomes. As an astrologer, Maharishi Parashara learnt early on — one can predict the destiny, but it is impossible to predict the "fate" — the nuances of the "present". --- For a cookies and trackers free reading experience check out https://gita.shutri.com

And in doing so, the "computational power" became the "back-fill commodity". Turned out, it was a blessing in disguise to combat blatant growth of AI. > For a trackers free , cookies free and log-ins free reading experience https://gita.shutri.com

Work

Karm Yoga is doing exactly what the physical situation demands of us. Important aspect is to do it with without desires of favorable outcomes. Desires - he though for a second - because desires either force us to do something different, or they make us action-less. The literal meaning of "desire" is that you are not happy in your current situation and you want to make a change to it - you want to change the world. A Karmyogi is always happy in the current situation. He works not to change the situation but as directed by the situation. https://gita.shutri.com

Birth

There are three basic colors - he said - Red, Blue and Green. They may mix up to make trillions of colors though our eye are limited to around ten million shades. Possibilities are endless but four new colors are rather stable - Orange, Yellow, Indigo and Violet. Together with three basic ones, the seven colors are, as we all know, the colors of a rainbow. They are normally hidden in one "White" but they reveal themselves when elements meet - after the rain when the sun shows up - the suspended droplets (liquid), on tiny dust particles (solids) light up the washed air (gas). As if there is a choreography of all that could be observed. The cosmos shows up it's true nature and beautiful it is! Isn't it? - He paused to check if he made sense, and also to make sure he was not overtly poetical. --- extracted from https://gita.shutri.com

Identity

The Angel continued talking to a rather surprised Fairy and her friend - to be able to see the inverse of your reality - the other side - you must change your persona inside-out. No one must recognize you in your own home - he said - no one even looking for your return. And you must be exact opposite of what you were - a beggar if you were a king, rich if you were poor, handsome if you didn't have the looks, a singer if you were a thinker, and fragrant if you smelled like a fish. Such an internal shift ain't easily accessible, that's the reason, we never see the other side. Buddha did it when he returned back to Kapilvastu. Despite being on invitation from the king, he went out alone to get food for himself - as a beggar. He wandered alone in darkness the streets and squares that used to be lit up even on expectation of his visit... It is hard to find your own identity

Eight-fold

Since "Unity" is free from multiplier effect you can have infinite instances of "1" without altering the universe even a tiny bit. It however dictates one rule - no addition is allowed - a universe with singular operation - of multiplication. It also means if you must have addition then all things made with additions must add together to "zero" - they must cancel each other out to zero because "zero" is free from the additive property.

Proposal

A proposal is always made by the one who needs something. And accepted (or rejected) by those who have the upper hand. Quite the opposite of ¨charity¨ where the rich offload their excesses ¨as is¨ and poor taketh whatever on offer. ---- https://gita.shutri.com
