FILTERING SIFTING SCREENING
ghōḷaṇa (घोळण).—. v.) Sifting or winnowing. 2 Quantity taken at one
time into the sieve or fan. Filtering, sifting, winnowing, sieving is all
Golana in Samskritham. Tirukkural places it simply as “ Kasadara”. Kasadu
is unwanted elements; and bereft of the kasadu is learning the lessons
without any blemish. Is that enough? No, after learning the lessons,
leaving the unwanted, one fulfils the learning process; then, he has to
sift; sifting according to the requirements; each thinks according to the
“possession”, and according to the level of thinking; holding of water
determines the name of the holder as a Pond or a sea. So too human levels.
THEN FILTERING IS INCOMPLETE WHEN THE VARIATION IN LEVEL DOES EXIST.
Jiddu Krishnamurthy said in one lecture.” All thinking is
conditioned. "You seem to imply that only when thought ceases is there a
radical change. But is this so?" Thought is conditioned. The mind, being
the storehouse of experiences, memories, from which thought arises, is
itself conditioned; and any movement of the mind, in any direction,
produces its own limited results. When the mind makes an effort to
transform itself, it merely builds another pattern, different perhaps, but
still a pattern. Every effort of the mind to free itself is the continuance
of thought; it may be at a higher level, but it is still within its own
circle, the circle of thought, of time. Any movement of any kind on the
part of the mind only gives strength to the continuance of thought, with
its envious, ambitious, acquisitive pursuits. This state is not to be
described; he who describes it is not aware of it. Whether I have
understood or not will show in my daily life."
Birthrhari says,” The moderate man’s virtue is called dullness; the
man who lives by rigid vows is considered arrogant; the pure minded is
deceitful; the hero is called unmerciful; the sage is contemptuous; the
polite man is branded as servile, the noble man is proud; the eloquent man
is called a chatterer; freedom from passion is said to be feebleness. These
are the ways in which evil-minded people describe good virtues.” Now where
is the standard of sifting people gone? So, filtering and sifting are
convenient tool of self-serving objects; according to the need , the
sifting goes; a thief would sift the good and take only another thief; all
in the perception and so conditional thinking process as JK said.

>>
>> Our eyes are provided with eyelashes eyebrows to filter dust coming to
>> eyes. Closing of eyes when wind blows with dust or anything hot is not
>> a voluntary action. Nerves from the eye are directly connected to brain.
>>
>> 2. Ear filter
>>
>> The ear filter is the hairs growing inside the ear. It protects dust
>> not entering ear which could affect hearing. The wax inside the ear is for
>> keeping smooth the ear. Excess wax rolls out. Ear controls human walking
>> also. *Keeping both ears fully closed one cannot walk with balance. Deaf
>> people walk perfectly because their ears are not closed.*
>>
>> I have learnt lighting is to be feared, thunder is only the following
>> sound. Lightning only affects since it carry electric charge.
>>
>> Though I accepted it even during my college days, now I have a doubt in
>> my mind. *Does thunder sound having higher frequencies does not affect

>> this many close the ears with hands?
>>
>> The ear filter too goes in to action before the eyes. A person waiting
>> for a bus first hears the sound, of bus by filtering the sound heard, then
>> look for it.
>>
>> 3. Nose filter
>>
>> I think nose filter is having more a physical filter with in nostrils
>> with tiny hairs. It prevents dust entering while breathing. Rather than
>> this, good and bad smells are very much filtered by the nose. In reality
>> first nose filters a foul smell and then the eye go in to action to realise
>> the source.
>>
>> A mouse dead and decaying in a road side is first detected by the nose
>> and then the eye goes in to action to see it. Smell sense go faster than
>> eye viewing!!
>>
>> Some people trim/pluck the overgrown hairs in the nostrils. Olden day’s
>> barbers did it with small scissors. Now we ourselves trim the extra visible
>> growth. Plucking before others is not a hygienic practice. But still we can
>> see some doing. It is an involuntary action by hand, not able to control by
>> mind.
>>
>> 4. The tongue filter
>>
>>
>>
>> The tongue has two functions one in tasting and consuming and the other
>> assisting in talking.
>>
>> The tongue filter everybody correctly uses for the first part.
>> Everybody is attracted to the good taste. I have read in kidshealth.com
>> tongue filter synchronise with nose filter. If something does not smell
>> good, the taste would not be felt good at all.
>>
>> The second function of tongue is for talk associating with throat. Here
>> for many the filter action is very weak, and not at all controlled creating
>> all problems. The net employed is expanding is the problem. It is the
>> common nature of many talks something in anger and later regret for the
>> words. But the wound created cannot be healed. The spoken words cannot be
>> taken back. It is a mental filter.
>>
>> 5. The mouth filter
>> A filter in mouth is for selective and controlled consuming of
>> food. But mouth filter fails to function so many a times.
>>
>> One instance is quickly eating clearly knowing the consequences. A
>> limited quantity which could go with in mouth only has to be taken at a
>> time. But when one is hungrier, mouth fails to function so. The person eats
>> as if the food would vanish if not consumed in minutes.
>>
>> The second one is while allowing the liquid food. It simply allows
>> though there is a limit with throat. We can see many children consume cool
>> drinks and split out, not able to keep with in mouth. If we take hot
>> coffee, it is the throat first sense and not mouth.
>>
>> With covid 19, everybody wears mask. It is to prevent covid virus not
>> entering through mouth. Use and throw masks priced very low prevents person
>> using same mask repeatedly without disposing.
>>
>> 6. Kidney filter
>>
>> Kidney is a most important body part- It is a real filter inside the
>> body in the hip area. There are two kidneys on either side. Similar to we
>> have two eyes for perfect seeing, two ears for perfect hearing and
>> balancing, two nostrils for breathing and smelling, we have two kidneys.
>>
>> The kidney is the size of our fist- a big organ. Both kidneys need not
>> be of the same size. *There could be marginal variations.* If one takes
>> scan, one could find himself the variation.
>>
>> We know any physical filter if not well cleaned with sufficient water
>> after some time solid particles might stick to and would not be much
>> effective in due course of time. If it is continued?
>>
>> Just like the towels become rough and does not absorb water in course of
>> time if not frequently cleaned, the kidney fail to filter unless cleaned
>> with SUFFICIENT water intake. Other things are also there
>>
>> I have used the term sufficient water. More water means more filtering
>> action and being an organ it would get exhausted. This is the reason *the
>> doctors suggest a specified quantity of water. *Diabetics are advised
>> to consume limited quantity of water. I have read articles also from
>> famous doctors from Apollo Hospitals in this regard.
>>
>> While kidney becomes very weak, from a suitable donor, with all tests
>> positive, from the donor a kidney is removed and stitched to a weak kidney.
>> The weak kidney is not removed. Because, if new kidney fail after healing,
>> a condition should not come- “Ullathum pochhuda, nallakkanna”(Weak
>> kidney may function at least 10%.)
>>
>> A weak kidney may function somewhat normal even when it could function
>> only up to 25%.
>>
>> 7. Brain filter
>> I think brain is the biggest filter and has sub filters. It ensures to
>> keep information necessary and leave the others. What all information to be
>> preserved is depending on the individual. Hence the brain filter vary in
>> function depend on the individual.
>>
>> A teacher may keep information for teaching, a student may keep
>> information on lesson, a cooking woman may keep information about cooking
>> items and a worker may think about his tools. These are all sub filter
>> action with common information stored for everybody. Varied dishes are
>> prepared by women thinking about it in previous day itself, and make public
>> if necessary in the morning.
>>
>> Retrieving the information stored is by another sub filter. This
>> sub filter expands and reduces and sometimes become effective and
>> sometimes not effective. While writing this posting, the word SCAN came to
>> me very late trying best to retrieve.
>>
>> This sub filter is special. I cannot recollect what the dishes
>> were before a week in the afternoon meal. But I can recollect the special
>> butter roast taken before a month in a hotel at Bangalore including its
>> shape, sweet sambar and even where I sat.
>>
>> I can recollect where I have stood and took photograph of
>> Tajmahal before 20 years. But I am not able to recollect where exactly
>> I kept the scissors after cutting medicine strips.
>>
>> I can recollect the colour of my autograph book in the college, the
>> lines written by my dearest friends. I do not recollect how many shirts and
>> pants are there for me!!!
>>
>> A will conclude this part with a slightly humour point. My wife at any
>> moment recollect specific time and dates and locations I roughly
>> behaved after marriage counting 1,2,3,4,5,..Instances .
>>
>> But she has least recollection of any such misbehaviour or disobedience
>> or irritating behaviour from her part at all. Leaving them, she has least
>> recollection when I appreciated or rewarded or admired her intelligence or
>> positive aspects.
>>
>> *I hope this posting is interesting. I will continue with in my next
>> posting.*
