Mouth and Ears were once good friends. The Ears would lend their optimal attention to anything Mouth said. The Mouth always ensured; Ears were introduced only to the best of sounds. Mouth created the musicality and Ears turned the ‘beats’ into dance of body and mind. Life-living was one long journey of Song and Dance. But; they couldn’t live happily thereafter…

Mouth unconsciously tasted the sugar of Self-Consumption and Ears unintentionally got hooked up to Fake Information. The close ‘neighbors’ drifted apart. Ears developed Distrust; Mouth aligned with Cacophony. The body-mind stopped singing-dancing…

Mouth now asks all unreal Questions… Ears listen only to untrue Answers

The all-pervading Distrust and Disharmony has made Mouth and Ears confined to their Smart Phones. They share emojis; only on birthdays…

Thankfully, You and I Are Not Mouth and Ears…

You are not only something; you somehow, are ‘something’ of everything. You are not only your nomenclature of subjective and cultural identities; you are; can be; much beyond them. You Are PROBABILITY…

Like; the book in your hand; is not yet a book, though perfectly so in nomenclature and identity. It is just a Probability. This book is only as short or long, as you like to journey through it. It could be a few words, paragraphs, pages or the whole book. You are also a probability like that. You too are only as ‘part’ or as ‘whole’ as you consciously and willfully decide to journey through you. ‘You’, or for that matter even ‘I’ or ‘They’, in its holism, is a reference to this probability, which is there, waiting to be unraveled and blossom. As this book needs ‘You’ and your journeying into it, to unleash all probabilities, embedded in its pages; ‘You’ need you; your consciousness, to be precise; to set free and flying, all probabilities that can and must, to attain its fullest and ultimate potentials.

You and your entrenched Probabilities is the ‘Protagonist’, at the center-stage of the theatre of life-living. You enact the marvels and novelty of potentials. Unlimited and unfettered Causalities are waiting for you to happen and reach you to finalities of attainments of arriving; as You successfully journey into the multidimensional landscapes of probabilities. A Journey may begin by simply taking the first small step. However, you know it very well that you do not begin a journey without good and right preparations…

What is this preparation? You already know; it is about having pre-hand Information about as many aspects of probabilities associated with journey. Most probable journeys do not get a start as, preparedness never happens. This Journey is novel and different because you are journeying into probabilities. Preparations are done for definitiveness, which you may pre-plan, as you do with most journeys. You cannot prepare for probabilities. You however can Resolve – Not to be bothered about any preparedness and simply Witness-Observe-Absorb, as probabilities unravel themselves en route. Probabilities are Information; emergent and evolving.

Every novel probability makes you richer as it unravels new and alternative information to you. Information is the most precious thing in the world. And; the Asset of Information is unlimited. You get as rich as you journey deeper and longer into the landscapes of probabilities. I know; I am addressed to probable richest person. This eBook and You align their probabilities and journey together…

Welcome…!

You cannot accept; you are not what you think and feel. Always done so; since long! Habituality, often, is auto-learnt artistry of life-living. If consciousness is a ‘suitcase’ entity; you usually stuff it with comforting clothing of habits and don’t even remember. Science of Reality however, tells you; you may be a Simulation of Information; zillions of bits of Information; emerging and evolving as some sort of holographic imagery, as part of cosmic computational mechanisms and processes…

The perceptibility of palpability and tangibility of body; you are so used to; habituated to and flaunt as yours; is just a Media, very much like the hardware of computers. But; the software; this emergent feel and sense of You; you may call it consciousness or soul or whatever; is pure Information. This information itself may be an expression of the tangibility and physicality of matter but not explicit and conspicuous; very much like energy or force. The matter of body itself is evolving media of zillions of particles, which is dualistically ambivalent as Wave as well as Particle. Ultimately, you are nowhere near, what you think and feel of You. You are innately and primarily a humungous Packaging of some Reality, which probably can be realized only as some convenient metaphor of reality but never as pure reality.

You may think and feel; it is all crap. But then; contemporary human knowledge of science of reality firmly accepts this piece of information as very probable; if not definitively true and real. You may accept; what you believe as true and real. Reality probably has no inclination of taking you along. It journeys its own landscapes. You may your own. However, your destiny is innately and intrinsically aligned to Reality. You may live in blissfulness of Denial and Deception; as most humans do; of Reality. The Reality however, shall write its script, you shall have to enact, in the theatre of life-living and then, you shall keep wondering and remain hooked to Questions, the true and real Answers of which may always elude you…

Unreal and untrue questions are less likely to have real and true answers. Information works this way. This is cosmic and macrocosmic logic of information as building blocks of Reality. As is the logic of information processing in all systems – Garbage in, Garbage out! The Theory is true and right only when the Hypothesis is true and right. Human history of celebrated stupidities and golden hypocrisies is marvelously documented Information of habitual and un-conscientious garbage of hypocritical hypotheses of reality, engendering more garbage and average humanity Living It Out as true, real, good and right.

Beyond belief and perceptions; reality has to be tested for veracity. Naturally; things ultimately boil down to the finality of – ‘Do You Ask It Right?’

You in the Time-Span of 24 hours of the day and your Life-Span in universe’s expected timeliness of 35 billion years; are two different dimensions of the same Information, called Reality…

You, however, do not seem to be the SAME, in both dimensions. You find it tough to happily live past the minutes and hours of the day. The cosmos merrily passed 14 billion years, before you were born and it shall pass 20 billion more years, after you are dead. And; you won’t feel the passage of either of both. Your hours and days mean Nothing to the cosmic reality. For you, it is Everything; as it is Your Cosmos and you have only this much. Life-span and time-span are just different dimensions of the SAME Reality and therefore, un-contextual to observance; irrespective of massive difference in scales; they are singular Reality.

But; you are too egoistically obsessed and blinded by instinctive propensity of Self-Validation to understand and accept anything beyond your personal Lifespan Reality. The Time-Span Reality, however, has no Ego, no Self-Validation Will and not even registry of scales of spans. Your Life-span, anyway, is too negligible and insignificant for Time-span to even fit it, into its registry mechanism; if it has any…

It is the cosmic information. You and your Lifespan have questions; the Time-span has none. It only has Information, which you decipher and accept as Reality, through the cyclicality of questions and answers. If you decipher and accept the cosmic information and Time-span Reality; you too won’t need questions and seek no answers. You shall become ONE and SAME with Information and all cognitive walls between Life-Span and Time-span, segregating the two, shall crumble and vanish. You and your consciousness shall become One and Same with Holism of Reality.

This is what Philosophy-Spiritualism has been recommending since thousands of years and now contemporary science of reality prescribes as Ultimate Pragmatism Of Idealism. You have the Will and Choice to align with Questions or become Information itself; which, as Reality, is Seed-Situation for all true and real answers. Habitual, auto-mode, subconscious and intuitive life-living is the big barrier, prohibiting this transference from question to information. Since childhood, you were never mentally trained to seek and look at Seed-Situation of Information in its holism. You only looked at the Tree-Eventuality of Questions as it came natural to you and very localized, ambient and conflated information landscape had jungle of tall trees of questions and only curled up expanse of vines of answers. Who cares for seeds when juicy mangoes of all shades are readily available! Who needs answers, when questions fetch the blissfulness of egoistic and self-validation satisfaction…!

Question has everything. It is information unto itself and is truly multidimensional. Somehow, question is also identity of consciousness as it showcases the Inventory of your consciousness upfront, very much like the mannequins on the shop-front. Question, can therefore, be as calamitous, as innocent and innocuous it may. What questions you own, possess and how you contextualize your question to the specificity of situations, reflects how you align with information and its dimensions. This alignment with information is the Causality, which shapes up your Destiny. Questions are however, only one part of your destiny. The other part of your destiny is the answers you accept as real, true and right…

You probably feel, you own and possess your questions. But, in probable reality, you may not. For decades after your birth, you were commanded and conditioned by your parents, family, society, culture, politics, faith systems, et al. Your consciousness was stuffed with information you didn’t decide and could judge their veracity-validity of. You were born and grew up under the infinite cosmos but your consciousness was incarcerated within the ambient, narrow Walls of the ‘House’ of parents, family and society-culture. Your question, as well as answers, you think you own and possess, may not actually be yours but that of the ‘Walls’ and they were installed in your consciousness long ago. You were then too naïve and helpless when this all happened. However, even later, you probably never bothered to check and test the ownership of a borrowed possession. You are, probably, rather instinctively and intuitively, too egoistically inclined and loaded with visceral Self-Validating attitudes to doubt your own slavery of ‘Walls’…

Beware of your questions and guard against un-conscientious and intuitive propensities of accepting any answer as real, true and right. You alone own your destiny; even when it has been destined to shape up sans your conscientious consent. The universe, as Information, is not interested in conspiring to align favorability of realities with your probable eventualities. The favorable universe hypothesis is probably borrowed information from externalities, you probably never bothered to doubt and check. You must! Nothing external has any meaning, worth and utility to you. You own and possess only what you internalize after assigning it to high and objective benchmarks of skepticism. This enterprise covers you too!

Because, you are information too; a precarious and conflated packaging of information, the ownership, origin and sourcing of which are unsettled. You need to be sure what you own and possess. Do you own your body, your mind consciousness; the information, which construct your form and feel, your thoughtfulness; or its nonexistence; behavior and actions, etc? It is a valid and probably good question to ask!

The legendary poet of Indian subcontinent, Mirza Galib asked –

Maut Ka Ek Din To Muaiyyan Hai,

Neend Kyun Raat Bhar Nahi Aati?

(Day of death is definite; why sleep doesn’t come whole night?)

Was he asking? Perhaps not! He was just wondering. Or probably, he was just stating the obvious. In all his innocence, honesty and simplicity, stating something, most people stand in complete denial of. He was actually being ONE and SAME with Information and its Reality. Mortality is not a question; it is singular, objective Information and the finality of all Realities. Mortality therefore, has no answer. Humanity has designed many; but they probably are denial and deception of the reality of mortality or a mystically metaphoric representation of reality, as probability of an answer.

Reality; in its absoluteness, holism and entirety is just Information. Question and answers, as we have been mentally trained to ask and accept; are often, cultural designs and craft of Denial and Deception of Reality or; metaphors.

Another great poet of Indian subcontinent, Firaq Gorakhpuri asked –

Tum Mukhatib Bhi Ho, Kareeb Bhi Ho,

Tum Ko Dekhein Ki Tum Se Baat Karein?

(Seemingly asking to his beloved – You stand addressed to me and also very close; should I look at you or talk to you?)

At the literal level of meaningfulness; it may seem a question being asked to the beloved by a seemingly happily confused lover. However, at the level of poetic metaphor; the lover is essentially not asking anything but stating a reality of his heart and mind. In fact, the lover is simply being ONE and SAME with Information and its Reality. The lover is portraying the information about the Reality of beauty and splendor of his beloved and her propinquity, in metaphoric language. The lover is not at all confused but in full and singular awareness of acceptance of the Reality of love and its dimensions, which attains its finality as his beloved is not only close to him but also attentive to his presence. What beyond this a lover may ask for and what the poet said was not a question but pure Information conveyed to his beloved about his Reality of perfect Blissfulness...

Bliss, especially that of love; is beyond question and answers. Like mortality, Blissfulness in its holism, is Information, which needs no question and seeks no answer. The famous saint and poet Kabeer said, ‘Goonge keri sharkra, chakhe aur muskaye (a dumb person gets sugar and as he tastes it, he smiles). Why a dump person; even a normal person, who can speak, shall not say anything but only smile, if his or her mouth is filled with blissfulness of ‘sugary’ delicacy! What is there to say, when the bliss is mouthful! Even if someone says something, would he ever ask a question, when his or her mouth is full of bliss of tastefulness? Would anyone seek any answer when filled with perfect song and dance of bliss? He or she would just sing and dance. He or she would simply be ONE and SAME with Information and its Reality…

Ask a person; who is ONE and SAME with the information and reality of Love, ‘How does it feel being in love?’ and the person would close her/his eyes, she/he would join his palms and rest it on her/his heart; her/his face would light up with radiance of serenity and; she/he would say nothing. If the person, asking the question, also has the understanding about real, true and right information; she/he too would say nothing; the questioner would accept the answer in its purity and magnanimity…

But then; we all know, we live in a world where questions are everywhere and everyone is asking them. The information and reality are already there still, people keep asking questions and seek answers. However, one cannot be sure, when the question asked is real, true and right. Same is the confusion about answers.

A small kid was watching a video of his father on a laptop. The kid watched curiously and then asked, ‘Dad, you are so big; how you could sneak inside this small and thin screen?’ The father was busy doing something; he replied frustratingly, ‘Don’t trouble me; ask your mother; she has this nasty habit of sneaking things here and there’. Now, we cannot be sure whether the question was real, true and right. Some may say, it is a genuine query and anyway, a kid being curious and inquisitive about anything is right, even if the kid is unable to frame the question right. They would advocate that the spirit and intent of the question was right. Some would however say, the question was invalid and therefore could not have fetched real, true and right answer. The same dualism remains about the answer of the question of the kid. However, this situation is not something a kid lands him or her. The adults do it most of times…

A woman asks her lover, ‘How much do you love me?’ The question is very similar to a kid asking about how the big dad could sneak into thin-small screen. The woman seeks a ‘dimension’ of information, which cannot justifiably be anything but abstract and metaphoric. The lover cannot say, ‘I love you too much’ as he knows it very well that this simple and probably ‘true’ Information is not what the woman is willing to accept. The lover knows; most questioners do not ask questions because they do not know answers; rather they ask just to get confirmation of an answer already accepted by them as true and right. The lover also cannot say I love you 5 metric tonnes and 10 billion dollars. He has to answer the metaphoric and abstract question with similar information as ‘answer’, and he would say, ‘I love you more than stars in the sky and water in the ocean’. The woman would probably happily accept it as real, true and right answer. She wanted only this as answer! But, here, neither the woman, nor the man is ONE and SAME with real, true and right information. The question as well as the answer are metaphors of Information; very much different than the real, true and right information.

There is another woman and she also has a question. She is the mother of a teenage girl and she asks her husband nervously, ‘I am so worried; your daughter is blossoming and going places; what should I do?’ The relaxed and confident husband replies, ‘I trust my daughter; we have talked and I have shared relevant information about her body-mind and safety with her. I know; she cannot commit a mistake, which I cannot forgive. She knows; mistakes is her genuine right and home and family is where, she shall come first to decipher its pathology’.

This probably is the real, true and right information interaction between a question and answer. The question is real, true and right and spelt with clarity and specificity of intent. The answer is real, true and right too as it optimally supplies the appropriate information, which settles the deficit of information, which had caused the question. Moreover, the questioner; a mother of a teenage girl; is perfectly real, true and right in her question as her own possession of the emergent information genuinely gets the shape of the information, which she presented and that too, to the very right person. The answer is probably real, true and right as it presented the questioner with real, true and sincere information, with not an iota of abstraction and frills of linguistic metaphors. The answerer; the father of the teenage girl; is also the most authoritative and eligible person to supply the relevant information sought in the question. This however does not happen in real world. It should; it must…

It seems; it is probably about how you invest; not about how much you invest. Most of us remain heavily invested in questions and seldom think of the possible requirement to recheck the utility-worth of them. We also remain invested in answers, we culturally and intuitively accept as true and real assets. We even don’t recheck them. A good investor however, is a very well-informed and always curious person. His or her Portfolio is always shuffling and he accepts only those as assets, which fetch him or her optimal profitability with no frills. Your true and real assets grow, as you know how to invest – In Life-Living Information. Your Portfolio truly and rightly reflects the golden shine of specificity and logical selection of objective Information for benchmarking your utility and worth.

What is the most wasted and grossly squandered resource and wealth in the universe? ‘The human life…?’ Okay! Let us broad-base it and ask again, ‘Life; in all its multidimensionality and entirety?’ The valid and consequential question next is, ‘How do you define wastefulness?’ Still; a more specific and pointed question is, ‘How do you truly and rightfully define something?’ Innately, at the bottom of it; the question settles down to the seed-level inquisition, ‘What is True, Real and Right?’

Essentially, the very reason of existence of questions and thereupon the need for answers, happen only because of this critical information, missing in the human life-living and human systems of families, societies and cultures. If there could be a singular, objective, measurable and logically scalable Information about Truth-Reality-Righteousness as universal benchmark and anvil of all things in the cosmos; there could probably be no need of questions and no seeking of answers. Probably, this Benchmark could have by now become embedded and integrated in subconscious brain wiring of all living being.

But then; a question still seeks its justification; drowned under the cacophony of questions and answers. This question is – ‘Are we sure, this hasn’t happened yet?’ Can we say this with definitive and conscious thoughtfulness that the universalization of true, real and right Information as singular, objective, measurable and logically scalable benchmark of all things in the cosmos hasn’t happened and it has already not been wired in subconscious brain states of all living being?’

That is probably why; there stands this above mentioned question; in all its truthfulness and credibility, ‘What is the most wasted and grossly squandered resource and wealth in the universe?’

Not to have something is sure very sad and unfortunate. To have it and then taken away is bigger misfortune. However, to have it; know its utility-worth and still waste and squander it is criminal, corruption, mediocrity of highest order and conscientious stupidity of colossal magnitude. Humanity has done this and continues to keep squandering the wealth of real, true and right Information it had and still has, with blissful and conscientious impunity. Very naturally; human life is probably the most wasted and grossly squandered entity in the cosmos as humanity has this scammed consciousness to consciously and unconsciously preserve the Devil; squander the God; and still spend hours and most precious of resources, talking and shaping up the glory of God…!

That is probably why; loads of questions happen and their answers create more questions! The massive magnitude of hypocrisies and deceptions, which are required to be pervaded in life-living and cultures to justify and immunize the willful and conscientious squandering of real, true and right, can only breed these fanciful frills of frivolous fabrications. Ask an average man or woman about all ‘good and right’ things and they know it reasonably well, as all the good and right information have been handed over to them since long by parents, families, cultures, schools, colleges, books, religion, customs and traditions et al. Human hypocrisy is brilliant for others as we all teach and sermon all goodness and righteousness to others and even expect others to practice them without fail. However; geniuses as we are of squandering the precious resources and wealth we have; we always leave it for others to be wise and honest with good and right. Individually; we all believe in and dexterously practice the ingenious artistry of ‘pragmatism of reality’ and hang a costly and adorable portrait of ‘Idealism’ on the walls of our homes. We love to do good business with Devil and pray God; never missing a visit to holy shrines and reserving a brilliantly decorated space for God in home. Most questions and answers of humanity are no Causalities; they are rather consequences of scammed consciousnesses of humanity. This is also the most prolific business! As they say; money begets moneys; probably similarly; business begets businesses. Wastefulness begets resourcefulness for more squandering. Business begets businesses. It is good and right sense! A very common; common sense!

Optimism, without logical and objective foundation of factuality, is not only flawed; it is dangerous. Pessimism, well investigated with highest benchmarks of veracity of actual pervasiveness of reality, is not undesirable. It may rather be preferred positioning and choice. Somehow, as experience with life-living tells us, very often, in many people, optimism comes not as natural actualization of reality; rather a culturally induced, subconsciously constructed façade to ward off the consistent feel of pessimistic situations. It is more or less like – Nobody wants to be poor and pessimistic, as they do not make good purchase in societal-cultural supermarkets. Somehow, as the human mind consciousness h
