Bharath Kola –  When one is constantly misunderstood by one’s immediate society; what parameters does he use to know if his way above others and unable to come down to express himself in their level of maturity is definitely indifferent and inadequate in his emotional and intellectual balance hence need help, it’s purely karmic and nothing to do with both of the above.  

I think let’s discuss all the three. Rather than bracketing the answer between this, in fact, I never appeared for entrance exams in all these competitive exams because ippadithaan varum kelvi, A,B,C,D None of the above.

So, ennaku ella answerume paakumbothu naalume correct aaah thonum and because I was never appeared in any competitive exams let’s discuss all this three.  

I think, for a man like you who is gifted with the sort of analytical skills you have gifted with an immaculate communication skills that you have, just that one attribute that if you can cultivate into your communication if you can take…..I am not talking about you okay, this question may not even be about you, maybe about me also, that is he purely of karmic, because I also get so much misunderstood by my immediate society.

So, let me take it even from me rather than assuming the question is about you.  

I really think sometimes, we think preparing the mind of the receiver is not required.  For example, when I talk to my wife and because you live on a daily basis with her you actually assume even in a relationship like this which is a mercurion role, is there a necessity to prepare the mind and then communicate?, unfortunately the answer is yes.

Because we don’t know in what state of mind and what state of emotion the other is.  It is not what we communicate that is being misunderstood, and thus we are misunderstood. It is the unpreparedness in which they were, when they received the communication, which makes them understand our misunderstand our communication and there by misunderstand us.  

I know it is a very time…..relationship is a time-consuming process. There is no question about it. And, especially with attention spans of both the receiver of the communication and the communicator is coming down; this itself is a big move. 

The moment we decided we are going to have this interaction, the first thing is because all the things I do is two hours. So, the first thought that came was 7-9 let’s have. Then I realized my brother was saying that the attention span is coming down so much and I think he had a point when he said. 

Do you realize most of your two-hour DVDs, very few people watch the entire two hours, that most of them watch it was for some time and decide to watch it later and that later never comes.

True, because we don’t even want to watch a movie which is beyond two hours anymore. The attention span is come down.  20-20 one team bats only for 90 minutes so two hour the attention is span is becoming very challenging to people.

So I said let’s experiment and this is a new experiment today and I think it will become the norm in the future whether its or public programs at some stage, I will not give you a shock right now, but I am thinking one hour and 11 minutes.  

One hour on the agenda and 11 minutes to sum up the whole thing. Why not we do it? and that is why the 7:00 O’clock to 8:11 as a beginning. In spite of  the shrunken attention span we don’t have a choice, but to communicate, to a prepared mind, if only we can bring in – for example, let’s take a classic question of, I read the question and I began answering on the assumption, maybe you are speaking about you, let us assume this question is not about you, it is about me or it is about somebody else.  

My answer could have offended you so much, what does he mean by I do not communicate to a prepared mind. Always communicate to a prepared mind. Now my answer had nothing against you.

But the state of mind in which you asked the question and the state of mind in which I answer, the mismatch in the state of minds will become a communication error and hence I would get misunderstood.

Because I misunderstood your question. In fact, making myself the subject in the question and answering the same thing and allowing all of you to indirectly reflect on my answer; creates a context where I can now prepare the mind of you before I express.

So, most of the time it is not that, in fact I will put it this way, if anybody in the world ever believes your above the rest, you do not have to come down.

But, your communication has to come down to the level of the receiver of the communication. Otherwise, it make no sense. You can be a world’s greatest scientist, but when you are taking to 8th standard students, you have to explain science in a language eight standard student can understand.  

The greatness of Krishna is, he communicated in a language in which Arjuna could understand.  The greatness of Jesus Christ is, he was able to express and teach life to his apostil’s in a way they could understand an in turn we could understand. 

Two, he is definitely indifferent and inadequate in his emotional intellectual balance.  I don’t think at least the world that I know of deep inside, I think all of us are……you can’t be insensitive to everybody. 

We maybe insensitive to a few. But, we are very sensitive to the emotions. In fact people who are absolutely without emotional and intellectual balance will never have regrets, would never say sorry, would never feel guilty, will never look back and feel I was wrong and I need to correct myself.

And anybody who is able to do it, I think he is still operating with absolute emotional balance. Not one aspect, everything of our aspect, we are an only an effect of a cause of karmic investment.
