New American Standard Bible (NASB)
1 “But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their
parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with
them.
6 They are the kind who worm their way into homes and gain control over weak-willed women, who are loaded down with sins and are swayed by all kinds of evil
desires,
7 always learning but never able to acknowledge
the truth.
8 Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so also these men oppose the truth--men of depraved minds, who, as far as the faith is
concerned, are rejected.
9 But they will not get very far because, as in the case of those men, their folly will be clear to
everyone.”

Brandeis, Olmstead v.
Therefore, I say:
Know your enemy and know yourself;
in a hundred battles, you
will never be defeated.
When you are ignorant of the enemy but know yourself,
your chances of winning or
losing are equal.
If ignorant both of your enemy and of yourself,
you are sure to be defeated in
every battle.

Notes on the Indian Stalker
Imagine the
recipe to cook a delicious meal available in a book freely. Using such a recipe,
can everyone be a good chef? Can everyone cook a nice meal? How good the
culinary skills would have been then? No skill, no experience required. Just
read the recipe!
Unless and
until, the eight-fold path of right action, right livelihood etc. is implemented
in one’s personal life, what point in knowing the Holy Meaning of Life. Even a
beggar may know the meaning. But what use, if not implemented?
The
Holy Meaning of Life. Made very simple. But what point for this shameless people? The meaning “useless”.
A person may be
innocent for a very long time. What happens if the person does an act of
stealing once and gets caught? What ever the person was, once upon a time, gets
negligible. For thence forth he will be known for ever in public as a thief. A criminal.
So too is the
act of misconduct. One who commits the vulgar act,
adultery, for ever will have the title, “loose woman”. That
title will remain even if the person takes hundreds
of dipping in holy waters, throws water on himself or
herself, or whatever; as long as the person remains in
society. Such are the ways of society, human behaviour.
“The
difference between a
flower girl and a
lady is not how she
behaves, but how she is
treated.”
- George
Bernard Shaw in
"Pygmalion"
There is an extent
or limit to beating, even if it is a dirty dog. Beyond that, there is no point
in beating. Just leave it to its own fate. Just ignore it.
Praise the
Lord!
A piece of bone
is hung from a height. There comes a dirty, hungry dog. It jumps for the bone.
The bone is dangling more higher. The dog jumps and jumps. Keeps
on jumping. Isn’t it funny to watch the dog, how it jumps. Its actions, its tantrums.
Instead of the
dog, if it was a woman, what a sight for the public! Rarely such actions occur
in public. How low a woman can be!!
Do the public
feel sorry for such a “disgraced” woman?
Why?
What other
option is before a hungry dog?
The other man
before left, “ran away”. Poverty.
Sex to feed. What other options exist? Somehow, by
whatever means, push into a descent house. No matter what it takes! Even if it takes a long time. What a dirty strategy! So once
the plan is in place, whom to corner? Let the sky be the limit. A big net to cast.
But
underestimated a shark for a fish.
Yes. The very starting point. Too proud an
attitude. Can pull down any man in this
world! Just like sucking any man’s organ, the feeling
that any man can be cornered with the vulgar shows - smiles, fancy chit-chat,
erotic pushing of breasts and displaying of body this way and that way in
public, showing of “love” etc.
But
failed. A low woman.
How low can a woman fall?
How will other
women in society feel, when they come across such a dirt?
And the dog
gets beaten in public again and again.
Give a stick, and
get beaten by the same stick!
Once upon a
time, the presence of the snooping device was very confidential. The public
wasn’t aware. Any “beating” during those days would not have any effect.
As days went
on, the dirty people themselves revealed the presence of the bug to the public.
The public interest gathered day by day. Many others too became interested in
observation.
The beating
started. As days went on, it had the desired effect.
They
themselves did everything. The bug, the publicity etc.
When one jumps
into a river for bathing, isn’t it better to fully dip into the water and rise
up? So too many worldly things. No quarter way, half
way etc. If one gets disgraced, how far disgraced the person will be?
The Acts of
the Invisible Lord! How great!
One digs and
falls in one’s own grave. One’s
own trap.
What
a test example!
Out
of compassion, a short advice:
Never play
with Fire.
Abandon
day-dreams, current way of life.
Go far away.
Live for ever
in a monastery or convent.
Train
yourself on the Laws.
May the Lord
forgive the sinners!!!
The moral of
the imaginary story: Never dig your own grave!
What a
deterrent punishment!
In the
future, any woman who wants to repeat such dirty actions to any decent man in society, naturally will think
twice.
Any man or
woman who sincerely loves someone talks about the matter to his or her parents
and family elders. The elders of the family get together and discuss the
feasibility of such a relation, if such a relation is at all possible.
Those who go
by the vulgar and dirty means, normally have something in their past to hide,
which they don’t want to be revealed in the immediate future. Yet
they want the relationship by some means or other. All ways of cornering or
enticing are done, to make a show of “mock” love. Once the other person is
pulled down sexually, slowly and slowly they bring out their dirty past. But
then, to a decent man or woman, he or she is already cornered to a
relationship. What else he or she can do? Just bear with it, suffer with it,
until the end of life, or until the relation lasts.
The above case
is a remarkable study of how a mother and daughter tried to hide their past way
of life - of misconduct, lack of proper education, family background - and act
as innocent with lies and false “rumours” about themselves. How they fooled the
society for a long time. It is also very strange that there are men and women
in society, who provide them help and facilities to continue their dirty ways,
knowingly.
There is always
a Lakshmana Rekha. When someone
crosses that Rekha, it is time to inform the proper
authorities for involvement, for justice. Such authorities can be family,
relatives, public, police etc. Day time, there are people around. But at night,
with many sleeping, it is very hard to nap a thief. A time
for dirty activities for thieves and bad women. (Walk around the house;
climb the fence or boundary wall, if possible; make loud erotic sounds from the
fence or boundary wall, to bring out the man from the house etc) Such nocturnal
activities require informing the proper authorities. The earlier, such people,
such public nuisance are
brought to the public or society notice, many a crime can be avoided, in the
bud itself.
Such people who
violate the written laws of the nation persistently again and again, ought to
be given a choice:
1. Shut them up
in a jail permanently
2. Kill them off immediately (Also refer section
on Spiritual Killing and Cooling in Energy
the Invisible Living Lord)
Such people are
a public nuisance. What else should be the deterrent punishment?
An Imaginary
chat
“So, loose
woman, where was this fake cough 2 years back (mid-2000)? Where was this
illness 2 years back (mid-2000)? How come all of a sudden excuses like “strange
illness”, “body weakness”, “disease”, “testing if the spiritual concepts are
right” etc?
Still
jealous and envious?
Was very proud
of fake beauty! What happened to that now?
Had a belief
that any man could be bent on your knees just by twiddling your fingers? A few
minutes of sweet, sexy chat! Where are they now?
Know that the
body gets old with time?
Know what was
once a “beauty” becomes useless in old age?
Ever seen very
old women? Very weak in body! Hard to move about!
Ever thought
one can reach that state?
Too much
ego. Pride. Isn’t?
Ever seen the
life of a fly in a spider’s web?
Bite, bite… And
again bite. Until either the fly somehow leaves or falls from the web or die!
A cobra never
bites. But if some ignorant pokes a stick into its home, the sand-dune, and disturbs
the Cobra family, can the ignorant run away? The cobra follows and leaves only
after a sufficient amount of bite is given to the ignorant. Strange are the
ways of the animal world!
Stay and get
“beaten” once a while. Or Leave with shame and disgrace.
Get fried in
oil. Or Jump into the fire.
Who started it?
KNOWINGLY!
If one know
something before, long time back, what could be the outcome etc., one should
not have gone in, to test it. Some tests are destructive!”
Perception,
the outlook. The angle from
which something is looked at. To some certain words may be abusive. To
some, that is the right word to describe. An apple.
You call it an apple, for it is an apple. Nothing else.
So too some of the so-called “abusive” words. You can’t
use a fragrant or sweet smelling word to describe a foul, bad smelling entity.
The meaning,
context, everything changes on wrong usage.
There are no
“nick-names” involved. Only words, used to describe one’s way of life or
whatever.

To those women,
who by reading the above chat, misunderstand that “I am cruel”, there is a
hidden purpose to that “cruelty”:
After a time,
getting rid of his wealth, be it small or great, getting rid of his circle of
relations, be it small or great, having cut off his hair and beard, having put
on saffron robes, he goes forth from home
into homelessness. To this extent, Aggivessana, the ariyan disciple gets
out into the open.

is equally applicable to women also.
29 And every
one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother,
or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive
an hundredfold, and shall inherit
everlasting life.
- Matthew
The above is
the face-saving option of the two extreme options. The other extreme is already
implied by the “bad” words.
It was a bit
too much! That too to an old woman. A voyeur using spy devices
to monitor neighbouring houses. How can an old woman sleep on seeing
such things? Should not have watched. Even
an old woman can get excited!
In a normal
house-hold, there is father, mother and children. In their privacy, the children
may undress to change clothes. Father may undress to change clothes. What a
scene for one who watches with snooping devices! Very
difficult to an “old” woman to control certain scenes. The sight always
stays in subconscious mind.

fornication
n.
Sexual intercourse between

Word
History: The word fornication had a lowly beginning suitable to what has long
been the low moral status of the act to which it refers. The Latin word fornix,
from which fornicti, the ancestor of fornication, is
derived, meant “a vault, an arch.” The term also referred to a vaulted cellar or similar place where prostitutes plied
their trade. This sense of fornix in Late Latin yielded the verb fornicr,
“to commit fornication,” from which is derived fornicti,
“whoredom, fornication.” Our word is first recorded in Middle English about 1303.

What
Older Women Want, Men Can't Deliver-Sex Study
Fri
Oct 11,
CHICAGO
(Reuters) - Many older women still want to have sex, but they might find their
men cannot oblige.
So
says a global survey of 27,780 adults aged 40 to 80 from 30 countries that
found aging women become sexually dysfunctional at about half the rate of men.
"To
the extent that women are (sexually active), they may be facing men who have
problems," said lead researcher Edward Laumann,
a
The
survey found that 31% of middle-aged and older women lacked interest in sex,
22% were unable to achieve orgasm, 21% did not find sex pleasurable, 20% had
trouble lubricating, and 14% experienced pain with sex.
Among
men, about 20% suffered from erectile dysfunction, which increased to nearly
half by age 80, according to the survey, which was funded by Pfizer, Inc., the
maker of the impotence treatment Viagra.
Among
the health problems common to older people associated with sexual dysfunction
were diabetes and hypertension, especially in men. But psychological factors,
especially depression, diminished interest in sex after 40.
In
the United States, two-thirds of men aged 70 or older have a companion who is a
potential sex partner, while less than one-third of women do because of women's
longer life spans and divorce patterns.

Also it is
first time; I come across an outsider, an old woman who watches using spy devices
from a neighbouring house, an old man’s nakedness in his privacy. Doesn’t this
old woman come from a decent family? Doesn’t she have a husband or someone like
that? Very sad state that old woman is in, watching the nakedness of married
old men! An old voyeur woman!
The “mother”
and “daughter” - what a perfect duo!
They do a lot
of cheating. They twist facts this way, that way to gain their selfish ends.
They talk one thing to one person, another thing to another person, twisting
the facts. Women of bad character. Women
of ill repute.
If bad
reputation can be considered as bricks, how many bricks can a person carry on
his or her head? Especially a woman?
I sincerely
worry about this shaming. They asked for it - shaming. Their action indirectly
called for this type of reply - shaming. Shame after shame
being piled up as bricks. How long and how much will they withstand?
That too, women!
The effect of
the poisoned arrow backfiring. The wound never heals as long as the arrow
remains in the wound.
A time may
come, where it is better for such women to use a “purdah”
or chador to cover from head to foot for moving around in society. To cover the
shame and disgrace, they themselves created, because of greediness, jealousy
and envy! Else, they must be having very thick skin, to withstand any shameful behavior.
Those who
violate others privacy - do we respect them? Whether it be
man or woman. Young or old? Should we invite them for
a feast? Call them sweet and pretty names? I personally don’t respect them. Nor
do any decent person in society. If the law had given me the right to beat,
then I would naturally have had beaten those privacy violators, even if it is
an old woman. Any person in society will give the same punishment, for watching
or observing their privacy. I would have verbally abused them. But
an educated man got limitations in verbally or physically abusing others. I
must cultivate more patience.
One SHOULD mind
one’s own business. Not other’s privacy. Not neighbor’s business in neighbor’s
house.
Refer the sutra on How
to deal with those who annoy you.
Yet, why did I
write all this “to be secret” stuff?
If, I did not
write against clandestine monitoring, then a mistaken notion will appear that a
victim supports such illegal activities. I never accept privacy violation. So
if it hurts the violators, it is their problem. More and more people will have
the wrong feeling that anyone can spy on anyone. In the future, such an
attitude may generate a society of “spies”, each spying one another, with
nothing else to do. Nothing productive. So let man be
more civilized and stop such “spying activities” and sincerely train himself on
detachment or renunciation. What use knowing somebody’s private matters or
private body parts? What is he, so are you! If you are a man, you got a penis.
If you are a woman, you got breasts. Nothing else is there. Some penis may be
small, some long. Some breasts are small, some large. So what? It is just
nature’s way for human propagation. So what is special there? Just hanging pieces of boneless flesh. Why get enticed by
such hanging meat? Why getting heated up when one see such things? Do you get
heated up when you are naked for taking a bath or shower? Frequent a butcher
shop. Watch the hanging meat of various sorts - chicken, goat etc. Watch how
meat is “dressed”. Do you get enticed? Do you get sexually heated up then? Cut
off that mental visualization. That is vulgar. Don’t think bad thoughts.
Meditate on detachment, dispassion, vairagya.
Develop insight. One who develops insight doesn’t need a master. He is a
self-master.

Anything that
goes outside the Higher Laws, always check the past history, what sort of punishment
any violation or transgression can incur. Go through many religious practices
for checking the punishment. What different nations used to do for punishing
certain crimes? The punishment lies in the amount of pain to be undergone. Also
read the following article: The
LAW's Hall of Horror.
Capital
punishment itself is as old as humanity. The Babylons,
Hammurabi, decreed the death penalty for crimes as
minor as the fraudulent sale of beer. Egyptians were killed as punishment for
disclosing sacred burial places.
The Romans
inflicted capital punishment by pushing the accused from a high cliff.
Crucifixion, such as that inflicted on Jesus Christ, was another popular form
of punishment. The idea was to nail the convict to the cross and to let them
die slowly, from asphyxiation, shock and heart failure.
The Romans
dealt with those guilty of parricide in a unique fashion. There, the convict
was sewn up into a leather sack with an animal and thrown out to sea (animal
was included so that, in its attempts to escape, the criminal would be torn
apart by its claws. For this reason, a dog, cat or chicken was preferred). The
penalty for declaring bankruptcy was slavery or being cut to pieces; the option
being with the creditor.
There was no
letup during the Middle Ages, where convicts were
crushed under heavy stones or burned at the stake. Between the years 1500 and
1550 alone, over 70,000 state executions were carried out in
Eighteen

On
eye-witness wrote, in October 13, 1660, that he "went out to Charing Cross
to see Major Harrison hanged, drawn and quartered, which was done there, he
looking as cheerful as any man could do in that condition.
He was presently cut down and his head and heart shown to the people, at
which there was great shouts of joy."
The English
law treated women
differently for treason. They were burned alive.
Another
English punishment, which prevailed during the reign of Henry VIII, was being
boiled alive.
French law was
no better. Burning at the stake was common. In carrying out the official court
sentence of the assassin of Henri IV, the murderer's skin was torn off his
chest, arms and legs with red hot pinchers. The arm with which he had killed
the King was burnt off and molten lead was poured onto the wounds. Finally, his
body was torn apart by a team of four horses.
The pillory
was a device that was used for hundreds of years. With it, a prisoner's head
and limbs were pinned between planks of wood in the middle of the town square.
Passers-by were invited to assault the prisoner or to throw things at the
prisoner's head. One lady, in 1732, was convicted of inciting another to poison
a man. She was sentenced to two days in the pillory. She barely survived the
first day. She was pelted with eggs and other projectiles. On the second day,
the guards found it difficult to get her head through the opening and, removing
her head-dress, they found she had fashioned a concealed bowl to shield her
skull. They removed it but it incited the crowd even more. According to
eyewitnesses, she was pelted until her head bled profusely and only then did
the crowd subside. She survived.
Conviction of
a charge of forgery meant that a person had his ears cut off and his nostrils
slit while in the pillory. The pillory was finally abolished in 1837.
The British
had a special punishment for those who refused to plead one way or another in
the face of a felony charge. Their bodies were pressed by great weights until
they either agreed to plead or they died. The penalty was called peine forte et dure.
The prisoner was laid on the floor naked and his hands and feet were tied up
and stretched in opposite directions, towards the four corners of the room. A
board was laid on his chest. On the board, weights were laid. More weight was
added "till he die or answer." This form of punishment lasted from
1406 to 1772.

The
concept of “No Death”. When you
properly understand that, you won’t give any importance to the above barbarian
acts. For the “barbarian” punishments are only for deterrent, to prevent

Why some of the
bugs are not removed personally on identification?
One of the many
reasons:
You aim a gun
at a person. What happens if the gun back-fires?
You aim a
poisoned arrow at a person. What happens, if by accident, the poisoned arrow
strikes you itself?
Will a wound
from a poisoned arrow heal, as long as the poisoned arrow stays in the wound?
So
too the bugs. Spy devices etc.
You go into a
house and install them.
Can you easily
go in again to retrieve those bugs?
If the bugs are
identified, who is in pain? Who is in shame? Who is in disgrace?
You dig your own
grave, for a lifetime or more. Such are the effects of psychological warfare.
A very good
case-study indeed for those contemplating bug installation,
in future, on any house-hold in society. Scenarios like this reverse-effect,
“changing of plates” etc are possible.
Many a person
will remember. Word of mouth. Gossip etc on how
something installed for “cornering” got reversed. Strange indeed the invisible
hands of the Lord. How He protects His devotees! How the Lord looks after the
offerings made unto Him! Praise the Lord!

In any family,
if there is a problem with a son, you blame the father. Spare the rod, spoil the child, as the Scriptures say. If
“self-controlled” women need to be more “self-controlled”, naturally it is the
problem with their mother. Already many a case-study is given. Freely
letting the cow to jump over the fence into neighbor’s
place is not a good option at all. The
problem lies with the mother. If such women have had enforced proper restrictions
on their daughters, many a mis-adventure, shame,
disgrace could have been avoided. But then, many such mothers are fashionable,
greedy and head-weight women. They untied the harness allowing the cow to
freely roam around. Pick whatever you like. Eat whatever you like. Get whoever
you like. Go wherever you like. Do whatever you like. What a freedom! Should my
writings be sweet to such “splendid” women for rearing such “self-controlled”
“cows”?

Modern man and
woman are not used to beating. Beating occurs today only in certain traditional
schools, up to a certain age. After that, no more beating.
Spare the rod and
spoil the child, is equally applicable to modern man and woman, of any age.
Just like a
domestic animal. Just beat it during younger days, it will be tame. Older days,
being a domestic animal by nature, it might remain tame. But what about men and
women who grow up? The taming of younger ages vanishes. Untamed “beasts”. The
introduction of public caning and number of strokes can act as an instant and
immediate justice, thereby removal of many life-long court cases, redress of
justice, justice lag etc.

matters. Such concepts are always relevant for others too. Something
like moral science taught in certain schools for little children. Yes, some
“abuses” are also there. Wrong things get scolding, even from a teacher in a
school. So too the “abuses”. Don’t get attached too
much to scolding.

The problem
with this unique case is it involves sheer violation of national laws -
computer hacking, privacy violation etc.
From one side,
they cite a strange reason on helping somebody’s spiritual growth.
From
the other side, using that as an excuse, violating the national laws, they are
trying to commit seduction, using the educational centre as a “brothel” in the
vicinity of public places like hotel as well as a religious temple.
Q6.. What is the punishment for seducing or soliciting for
purpose of prostitution?
Ans.
Whoever,
in any public place or within sight, and in such manner as to be seen or heard
from, any public place, whether from, within any building or house or not:
(Reference:
The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956. Illegal Prostitution.)
So if the case is giving public pardon
or clemency, the possibility for copy cat violations are rampant. With just anyone violating any other person in the pretext
of helping the other person’s spiritual growth!
Without
entering into the more general subject of management and motivation, one should
recognize that external threat is a powerful
motivator.
(Reference:
(To be precise, the use of spy devices results in a sort
of mental instability of the victim. The trepidation.
The uneasiness of being watched or observed) Resulting
in complete lawlessness. Fighting against each other. Something like
the Yadavas at Dwaraka,
during Lord Krishna’s time. Like I, “fighting” my “innocent” neighbors!
Fighting but not fighting! Innocent but not innocent! To prevent such an
occurrence, deterrent punishment need to be enforced with heavy compensation
damages, thereby preventing copy cat instances. For somebody just have to stop
the clandestine violation somewhere. That is it.

If an action is
private, all right, no problem. But the moment it goes out of control, spreads
through the word of mouth through the society, there is a major problem - both
the victim as well as the culprit side are under the public microscope. Each action from both sides being monitored for plus and minus.
Each action whether legal or illegal has its own supporters. For example, from
the culprit side, consider the action, the use of spy devices. There are many
who support its use, for it has its own “benefits”. Of finding things
clandestinely, which otherwise was impossible. In other words, the illegal
action of the culprits in using spy devices created a major copy cat.
So
too any action of worth, either from one side or the other side.
Anything that is beneficial or worthy immediately gets its own followers, whether
legal or illegal. What to do, if an illegal action is generating a lot of
followers, just because it looks good?
So the moral is
punishment at the bud state itself. The way things are going, the bud started
its evolution, with many followers.
At least the
initiators of the illegal process can be brought before justice.
It is a major
grey area. An area where you just can’t define the limits.
Punish? Not punish?

“Thou belongest
to
That Which Is Undying, and not merely to time alone,” murmured the Sphinx, breaking its muteness at
last. “Thou art eternal, and not merely of the vanishing
flesh. The soul in man cannot be killed, cannot die. It waits, shroud-wrapped,
in thy heart, as I waited, sand-wrapped, in thy world. Know thyself, O mortal! For there is One within thee, as in all men, that comes
and stands at the bar and bears witness that there IS a God!”
(Reference: Brunton, Paul. (1962) A
Search in Secret
