i think you're using poetic license, because i THINK an abacus only does mathematical calculations. [It's also an architectural feature.] you make it sound more like AI. (Artificial Intelligence]..BUT you ARE a poet, so use poetic license if you wish! ! :) MY " iintelligence" is TOTALLY artificial. bri ;) p.s. i like the poem.

Our desires and aspirations are individualistic, yet, within the sphere of personal priorities, there is a possibility of Unity of spirit. That is what the Vedas and Upanishads speak about. The Personal Abacus is most effectively portrayed, Rajnish ji by you, in this beautiful poem.10+

I agree with your point of view. When we look at things in materialistic terms, we tend to be individualistic but we have to rise above this position to attain greater spiritual goals in line with our Vedic ideals. Thanks a lot for your thoughtful views, Geeta ji.

Quite a thought provoking poem; indeed everyone is different, yet everything happens relative to one another. Nothing is unrelated.

Yes, that is the beauty of our individuality- thinking, calculative, competing yet contributing to a common goal. Thank you, Jasbir ji, for an in-depth feedback on the subject. I am delighted to see you after such a long time.

Everyone has a different games to play. With the help of PA one charts his course to achieve his goal. Sometimes it goes wrong sometimes the calculation goes right. Nice concept. Enjoyed.

Our fortunes are determined more by us than an external force! Of course there are exceptions! Sometimes our calculations may go wrong, but to devise new strategies, studying the situation is very much within our power! We need maintain a Personal abacus! A scholarly piece!

Thanks, Valsa Mdm. You have summed up the situation very thoughtfully and what you have said is undeniable- studying the situation is very much within our power!

The best, the most individualized is our PA paving the way for us through the blind corners and sunny paths of our life. Great poem Rajneesh Ji both in Hindi and in English. A perfect 10.

Yes, our in-built PA system is the most reliable at a given point of time. It knows us through and through and we keep it updated with latest developments. I am greatly thankful for your feedbak and appreciative comments, Savita ji.

The quality of our lives is mostly subjective, apart from a few horrible things. Probability and chance are what we live upon and judge the results of those incidents to measure our lives and success or failure. A fine poem Mr Manga. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, Dear Friend, for making this global journey possible while I am sitting in my arm chair. Yes, all Indian rivers are facing the onslaught of human apathy and pollution. It is now sinful to take a dip in certain areas. For the last couple of days, my visits to PH have been limited due to social obligations- family and relatives. Thanks again.

Situations change or transform that we know but we do not become able to catch the time of change as this happens suddenly. A simple device of a frame with rows of wires or grooves helps in calculating Personal Abacus of chronological undulations. This is really very amazing. Your poem is informative one and excellent poem....10

The results of the original device give you similar results of a maths equation every time it is taken up. It's not so with human mind analysing complex human situations. Thanks for a detailed review.
