Thanks 🙏 to the new world order, no longer dominated by the usually omnipresent marketing blitzkrieg, we can hope to celebrate this 🏺akṣaya🫗tritiyā🌙 in its true spirit, coetaneously contemporizing lingāyat-guru śrī 🐂basavéśvarā🕳’s philosophy too!!! May shopping, online or otherwise, rest in peace for a while.

As demonstrated by our own first-ever😾physically-fullgrown yet😡emotionally-turbulent👿human😠evolution rep🪓paraśu-rāma🏹, greed is actually a natural human inclination which is decried, guilt-ridden & swept away by world religions. Our real problem is not greed, because whenever we want something, we misuse logic to euphemise it as a need & whenever someone else wants something, we tend to portray that as greed! It’s a silly trick of the mind that we’ve all repeatedly succumbed to & hence don’t even recognise it as our own intellectual trick anymore.

The real problem is thus not greed. It’s instead our stupid identification with our physical body, mind & intellect (BMI), rendering ourselves as imaginary finite entities in search of the infinite in self-gratifying finite instalments. Assuming to asymptotically approach the infinite ♾ through finite steps 🪜 is an obviously never-ending mathematical🧮folly that we’ve delved into idiotically.

Through dedicated sādhanā, let’s expand, flatten, thin & eventually shed our imaginary boundary shells & arise into our truly unbounded, never-decreasing (🏺a-kaya🫗) & all-inclusive a-physical non-emotional non-intellectual (tritiya🌙) nature, rendering greed irrelevant. We can then truly utilise our bodies, minds & intellects (BMIs) as our triple tools (tritiya🌙), radically different from our true infinite selves (🏺a-kaya🫗). jai 🐂basavannā🕳! jai 🪓paraśu-rāma🏹! https://youtu.be/4Lo288reb7A
