Q1 Can you tell an example for –“No person is superior to
another”
G= “All humanity is the offspring of Adam and Eve. An Arab is not superior
to a non-Arab, and a non-Arab is not superior to an Arab; and whites are
not superior to blacks, just as blacks are not superior to whites. No
person is superior to another except by piety and good deeds. »
G= My note- This QA can be Nth time. But still some people still do not
understand [KR: Gopalakrishnan English reset by me] the underlying
Principle.
KR: The Iyer123 MEMBER G was elated by being the offspring of
ADAM & EVE ;AND MORE RELATED TO GRASP THE IDEA (ADVOCATED BY FEW MEMBERS AS
AGAINST ARABS) Arab is not different from Non-Arab like Iyer member; the
elation travelled for some distance; and ended behold:” . No person is
superior to *another except by piety and good deeds.” *WOW. One who
descended from ADAM and EVE Mr G, should have had a little piety and good
deeds; but did not yet hold others; and what are they; grouping with the
ghost and another with support shadow, in insulting another and others.
Thus, G writes for self - appraisal report a passage. [This became
necessary, since he wrote about some Principal, which does arise from him
only, and getting punched; yet the trio speaks as if they are provoked,
which makes them named as JOKERS.]
Equality, inequality, superior, lower ranks and file shall exist.
Had Mr.G placed his peon in his chair and served the coffee then what said
would apply; he said that only, all are Adam and Eve children. And he will
serve somebody with such fawning and grace. (Maybe in Christianity Grace is
said is it not?) Avivekis are impressed by wrong reading and understanding.
There will be KING and CITIZENS inequality; however, citizens do respect
the King; King respects the citizens; but the distance IS ALWAYS KEPT;
SOULS ARE EQUAL SO WE RESPECT THE SOUL; BODIES ARE DIFFERENT; SO, WE
RESPECT WITH THE DIGNITY. EQUALITY IS BY CONSCIOUSNESS; INEQUALITY IS WAY
OF LIFE. The balancing act of life is the unseen chord of EGO-based- G
group performances and the majority observing the buffoons from a distance,
because of respect to souls. AND BEHOLD THE GROUP PARTNER CALLED THE GREAT
MEN AS SHUDRA THINKING HE IS A BRAHMIN AND YET Mr G WROTE IN THIS WAY,
PRICKING HIS BOSS. G SAYS HE ALWAYS ABUDE; AND WHOM ONE WILL ABIDE? I
always say, THINK BEFORE INK.

BG 15.7: The embodied souls in this material world are My eternal
fragmental parts. But bound by material nature, they are struggling with
the six senses including the mind.
1. The highest level of equality and justice teachings are in the
Bhagavad-Gita. The first teaching of the Bhagavad-Gita is that we are the
soul and not the body. The soul is eternal, and the body is temporary. The
soul has no material designations; thus the soul is not white nor black,
not male nor female, not Indian nor American, one soul is not superior nor
inferior to another. All souls are equal, and part of the family of God
(Bhagavad-Gita 15.7). Eventually all souls get liberated and go back to the
spiritual manifestation to live in complete bliss. There is justice for all
living beings with the infallible law of karma. For every action we take,
we will face a reaction. The Science of You (The Soul) - The living entity
is the eternal soul and not the temporary body. - The body is like a
vehicle, and the soul is the driver. - All living beings (humans, plants,
and animals) have a soul. - All souls are equal; one soul is neither
inferior or superior to another. - All souls have the same qualities to
the same degree: Eternality, knowledge, and blissfulness. - It is the soul
which illuminates the whole body with consciousness. - The soul is situated
in the heart of all living beings. - The soul is not Brahmin, nor
Kshatriya, nor Vaisya, nor Sudra, nor any class. - Every soul is a spark of
God; thus, all souls are divine. - Every soul is
accompanied by the super soul (God) in the heart. He is the witness, and
the perimeter of all actions we take. - Every soul eventually gets
liberation, there is no eternal punishment. - The soul is unbreakable and
cannot be destroyed by any weapon, burned, blown, nor moistened. - Every
soul is of the same size. - The soul is neither male nor female. - The soul
is neither black nor white. - The soul is not Indian, nor American, nor
African, nor Chinese, nor Russian. - The soul is not Hindu, nor Christian,
nor Muslim, nor atheist. - The soul is not old, nor young, and does not
age. - The soul has no weight and cannot be seen with the naked eye. -
The soul has no material designations. 3 We Are the Eternal Soul and Not
This Temporary Body When a person dies, we say ‘he passed away’, but the
body is right in front of us. This implies there are two entities, the
‘body’ and the ‘he’. The ‘he’ is the soul, the living entity, and not the
body. This is the first teaching from the Bhagavad-Gita. The body is
temporary, but the soul is eternal. Where has he (the soul) passed away to?
Another body.
Q2 Are there any animals that are believed to be extinct but may
still exist? Are there any animals that were thought to be extinct but have
been rediscovered?
KR Was published only a few days back. AND I GAVE ALL THESE;
COPY AND PASTE FROM EVEN…….(I gave a big list of such species and
reproduced and if original and hence C&P could even be from my notes!)
Q3 What combination of 3 items would you buy at the supermarket
to make the cashier misunderstand?
KR Joke?
Q4 How dangerous is radiation?
KR Not all radiations are inherently "bad." Radiation is a form of
energy that travels through space, and it comes in many different types.
Some types of radiation are harmless or even beneficial, while others can
be harmful depending on the exposure level, duration, and energy.
Here’s a breakdown of different types of radiation:
Non-ionizing radiation (e.g., visible light, radio waves, microwaves) –
This type of radiation is generally harmless because it doesn’t have enough
energy to remove electrons from atoms or molecules. These types of
radiation are used in everyday technologies like cell phones, microwaves,
and radios.
Ionizing radiation (e.g., X-rays, gamma rays, alpha particles, and beta
particles) – This type of radiation has enough energy to remove electrons
from atoms, which can damage cells, DNA, and increase the risk of cancer.
High levels of ionizing radiation are dangerous, which is why protective
measures are taken in medical settings (e.g., when using X-rays) and in
nuclear industries.
X-rays and gamma rays are commonly used in medicine for diagnostics and
treatments (e.g., cancer therapy).
Alpha and beta particles are more dangerous when they are inhaled or
ingested, but they can be stopped by basic materials like clothing or paper.
So, the danger of radiation depends on the type, the dose, and how it is
encountered. Many forms of radiation are part of our daily lives and can be
beneficial (like medical imaging or UV light from the sun), but excessive
exposure to certain types of radiation can be harmful.
Q5 What animals have escaped the zoo or homes and are now living
in the wild successfully?
KR Life is like that only. Thank God German Jews who escaped
living happily ever after from Germany are not cited as……… every specific
once somewhere lived happily ever after, in the forest, at home, on
platforms, so on and so forth. It is a big genetic history.
The concept of species gaining freedom to choose between their
natural habitat (like a forest) or another location (like a human-made
environment) is a modern ecological idea that touches on the relationship
between wildlife and human development. While no specific historical event
exactly matches the idea of species formally gaining "freedom" to choose,
several key ecological concepts and events provide insights into how
species have interacted with their environments and the impact of human
influence on those choices.
Human-Induced Habitat Changes: As human civilization developed, natural
habitats such as forests, wetlands, and grasslands were altered or
destroyed to make way for agriculture, urbanization, and industrialization.
Species that once had the "freedom" to choose their habitat often had to
adapt to human-made environments or face extinction. This phenomenon is
often described in terms of habitat fragmentation, where natural landscapes
are divided into smaller, isolated patches, reducing species' ability to
migrate or relocate freely.
Urban Wildlife and Adaptation: Some species have demonstrated the ability
to adapt to human-made environments. For example, certain birds, mammals,
and insects have learned to live in cities, parks, or suburban areas. This
represents a form of "choice" in which species adapt to the conditions
created by humans, sometimes thriving in urban ecosystems. Examples include
raccoons, coyotes, pigeons, and foxes, which can find food, shelter, and
even social structures in human-dominated spaces.
Protected Areas and Conservation Efforts: Conservation efforts have also
played a role in providing species with specific "freedom" to thrive in
designated habitats. National parks, wildlife reserves, and other protected
areas allow species to live in their natural environments without direct
interference from human development. In some cases, rewilding efforts and
wildlife corridors are designed to enable species to move between habitats
freely, thereby giving them a better chance to choose natural environments.
Domestication and Animal Husbandry: Historically, some species have been
"freed" to choose between domestication and life in the wild. Domesticated
animals, such as dogs, cats, and livestock, may live in homes or farms, but
their wild ancestors or feral descendants might still roam freely in
forests or open land. This form of freedom contrasts with wild species but
still represents a kind of choice.
Invasive Species: In some cases, species have been introduced to new
environments by humans, either accidentally or intentionally. These species
often exhibit "freedom" to adapt to or thrive in new ecosystems, sometimes
at the expense of native species. The spread of invasive species is an
example of a species gaining access to new habitats, though not always in a
beneficial or harmonious way.
In summary, while species have always had a "choice" in where they live
within their natural environments, the increasing human impact on
ecosystems has altered this dynamic. The concept of freedom to choose
habitat is often shaped by ecological factors, human influence, and
conservation efforts rather than historical events where species formerly
gained freedom to choose their habitats.
"The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History" by Elizabeth
Kolbert (2014) Kolbert's work provides a comprehensive look at the mass
extinctions caused by human actions, touching on habitat destruction and
how species are forced to adapt to or migrate to different environments,
often with dire consequences. It is an essential read for understanding
human influence on species choices and habitats.

Q1 Can you tell an example for –“No person is superior to
another”
A1 Manisha Babu M, Dec 26
A black man was sitting next to a white girl on a flight
She was extremely upset by the situation, so she called the flight
attendant and said:
“It's obvious you don't see the situation I find myself in. You seated me
next to a black man, and I refuse to stand next to someone like that.
You'll have to find me another seat.”
The flight attendant replied, “Calm down madam. All the seats on this
flight are almost full, but let me find a seat… free! »
The stewardess left for a few minutes, then came back saying: “Madam, as I
told you, I did not find a single empty seat in the economy class. So I
informed the captain, who told me that there are no seats available in the
business class either. But there is one empty seat in the first class. »
Before the woman could say anything, the stewardess continued, “It is not
customary in our company to allow an economy class passenger to sit in
first class. But given these exceptional circumstances, the Captain
believes it is inappropriate to force someone to sit next to such a
disgusting person. So…”
The stewardess turned to the black man and said, "Sir, could you take your
purse and follow me?" There is a seat in first class waiting for you! »
At that moment, the stunned passengers, who had followed the situation from
the beginning, stood up and warmly applauded the stewardess for this great
lesson given to this racist.
Let us meditate on these words of the prophet of humanity:
“All humanity is the offspring of Adam and Eve. An Arab is not superior to
a non-Arab, and a non-Arab is not superior to an Arab; and whites are not
superior to blacks, just as blacks are not superior to whites. No person is
superior to another except by piety and good deeds. »
*My note- This QA can be Nth time. But still some persons still not
understand the underlying Principle.*
Q2 Are there any animals that are believed to be extinct but may
still exist? Are there any animals that were thought to be extinct but have
been rediscovered?
A2 Wairia,Advocates for nature conservation, wildlife...8h
Animals once thought to be extinct but later rediscovered are called
Lazarus creatures (taxa)—a name that's quite fitting if you know the
biblical story. Here's a list of some of my favorite examples of these
remarkable creatures:
*The New Guinea highland wild dog.*
Considered the rarest and oldest canine species on Earth, is a distant
relative of the Australian dingo and was thought to have gone extinct 50
years ago. In 2017, around 15 of these dogs were discovered in the
remote Sudirman
Mountains of Indonesia, a number sufficient to form a healthy pack,
according to researchers.
*Fernandina giant tortoise*
In 2019, a female Fernandina giant tortoise was discovered in the Galapagos
Islands, over 100 years after the species was last seen in 1906. Estimated
to be more than a century old, she has likely been roaming the island since
before the species was declared extinct. Researchers have also found
additional tracks and scents on Fernandina Island, suggesting that she
might not be the only surviving tortoise.
*Omura's Whale*
This species of Balaenoptera whale, resembling a small fin whale, was named
in 2003 based only on dead specimens. Because no living examples had ever
been seen, it was assumed to be extinct. However, a small group of Omura's
whales was later discovered off the coast of Madagascar, and DNA tests
confirmed their identity.
*Philippine Naked-Backed Fruit Bat*
Once so common that its guano was harvested as fertilizer, this bat was
declared extinct in 1996 after not being seen since 1964. Its decline was
believed to be due to hunting. Thankfully, it was rediscovered in 2001,
though its habitat remains unprotected, leaving the species still at risk.
*Takahe*
Millions of years ago, the ancestors of this flightless bird are thought to
have flown to New Zealand from Australia. Sadly, the introduction of
predators like cats, rats, dogs, and pigs drove the Takahe to near
extinction, and it was declared extinct in 1898. However, rumors of its
survival led to a government-led search, and in 1948, a few birds were
found near an isolated lake. Today, about 260 Takahe are alive. It’s
amazing to think such a colorful bird managed to stay hidden for so long.
*Bermuda petrel*
Considered one of the most remarkable breakthroughs in conservation, the
Bermuda petrel was rediscovered after being thought extinct for 330 years.
Last seen in the 1620s, the species was found again in 1951 when 18 nesting
pairs were located on isolated islets in Castle Harbor. Once so plentiful
that European explorers dubbed Bermuda "the island of demons" due to the
birds' eerie mating calls, the petrel’s eggs were later exploited as a
convenient food source. Domestic animals introduced by settlers further
devastated the population by preying on their ground-level nests.
After over 50 years of dedicated conservation efforts, including nest and
pest management, the Bermuda petrel population has slowly recovered, with
about 250 birds now in existence.
*Terror Skink*
Discovered on a tiny island, this skink was already endangered when first
identified and was thought to have gone extinct in the early 1990s.
However, it reemerged in 2003 when French researchers captured a photograph
of one.
*Coelacanth*
This fish is a prime example of a “living fossil,” as its lineage dates
back to the end of the Cretaceous period. Imagine the shock of a museum
curator who found a living specimen among a fisherman's catch—it was
thought to have been extinct for millions of years!
*Venomous Cuban Solenodon*
This odd-looking mammal was first documented in 1861 but hadn't been seen
since 1890 and was presumed extinct. Then in 2003, a live Cuban Solenodon
was captured, sparking a national sensation in Cuba. Nicknamed
“Alejandrito,” the animal was studied for two days before being released
back into the wild.
My note- Pictures not added.
Q3 What combination of 3 items would you buy at the supermarket
to make the cashier misunderstand?
A3 Anna Sebastian, Tue
This is a story of my own experience when I was in high school shopping at
a minimarket that is the pride of Indonesia of course. One day my mother
told me to buy mosquito repellent, but not the canned ones like today. My
mother liked to use liquid mosquito repellent that was manually pumped and
then the sound "Cesss Cess Cess .." came out. The illustration is like this:
So, I was told to buy a refill, namely the liquid mosquito repellent:
That's roughly what it looks like.(Bagun manual sprayer and mosquito
repellent)
On that midday trip, I felt very thirsty. I really couldn't hold back my
thirst until I got back home. My habit of stealing change when my mother
asked me to buy something, felt unbearable too. So I decided to buy this
drink:
Same as this: (Cocacola and Fanta cool drink bottles)
When I paid for the three items, the cashier asked me:
"Ma'am, this is liquid Baygon, right?"
I answered casually:"Oh
yeah, why Sprite?"
I answered jokingly. The cashier didn't laugh at my joke. Her facial
expression seemed like she was hiding something. The person in line behind
me was heard whispering:
"Wow, is he going to commit suicide?"
I didn't realize that the combination of the three items I bought would
cause the cashier and the customer behind me to misunderstand.All the way
home I just laughed on the road while thinking about what I would do with
the change I took later.Ha ha.
Q4 How dangerous is radiation?
A4 Sean Kernan,1y
There’s an infamous incident with a 10-year-old boy. He found a radioactive
capsule and put it in his pocket and brought it home in Mexico.
He died 38 days, later of radiation poisoning. His mother, who was
pregnant, died three months later. His two-year-old sister died 2 months
after that. And his grandmother died 2 months after that.
The Cobalt-60 capsule was an industrial grade supply for radiography and
cancer treatments that wasn’t protected.
The poison was so potent that it worked its way through his entire family. His
father was the only one who survived because he’d been working outside.
They never knew their son had poison in their home.
The worst part is that the company that had illegally produced the tablet
had made more of them and discarded them in a junkyard. That junkyard was
then used to make steel which was then used in buildings.
By the end of it, 6000+ people were exposed to radiation.
Radiation is extremely dangerous—especially when people are sloppy with
storing it.
Q5 What animals have escaped the zoo or homes and are now living
in the wild successfully?
A5 Subrata Das, Former Wandering Minstrel 21h
Soon after German reunification in 1990, rheas were imported from Argentina
to meet the increase in demand for staple protein. In August 2000, a small
group of greater rheas escaped from a farm in Groß Grönau,
Schleswig-Holstein, in Mecklenburg Vorpommern, Germany.
The flock, consisting of one male and five females, crossed the Wakenitz
River, known as the “Amazon of the North”, and settled in the Mecklenburg
lowlands, near Thandorf village, which resembled their native South
American savannah.
They quickly adapted, thriving in the region’s open landscape, and by the
next year, their population had grown to 15. The area between Schattin and
Utrecht became their primary habitat.
The renegade rheas were not seen as a threat to native wildlife or
vegetation. Instead, authorities believed they filled the role of grazing
livestock, contributing positively to the preservation of the open
landscape, and enriching the experience desirability of the Schaalsee
Biosphere Reserve.
By 2012, the rhea population had exceeded 100, and by 2017 it reached 250.
The birds caused agricultural damage, particularly to rapeseed crops,
intended for the production of canola oil and biofuel, prompting
authorities to permit egg destruction by addling, to control the population.
