Ramanujan was self-taught ..

 .. what does that ..say ..to me ..or to anyone ..and everyone ..for that matter ..


"Born in 1887 in Erode, Tamil Nadu, Ramanujan was self-taught and worked in almost complete isolation from the mathematical community of his time. Described as a raw genius, he independently rediscovered many existing results, as well as making his own unique contributions, believing his inspiration came from the Hindu goddess Namagiri. But he is also known for his unusual style, often leaping from insight to insight without formally proving the logical steps in between. "His ideas as to what constituted a mathematical proof were of the most shadowy description," said G. H.Hardy (pictured, far right), Ramanujan's mentor and one of his few collaborators."

.. Ramanujan was self-taught and worked in almost complete isolation ..

.. believing his inspiration came from the Hindu goddess Namagiri ..

... he independently rediscovered many existing results ..

.. he is also known for his unusual style ..

.. often leaping from insight to insight without formally proving the logical steps in between ..


Despite these eccentricities, Ramanujan's work has often proved prescient.

 .. prescient .. Having or showing knowledge of events before they take place. ..


Ramanujan was self-taught ..

what would that ..say ..to me ..or to anyone for that matter ..

what would someone ..take out of the .. "..often leaping from insight to insight without formally proving the logical steps in between .."

..logical steps .. they are there .. no matter .. but the journey .. from ..insight to insight .. does not .. necessarily ..require logical steps ..

Ramanujan ..was able to do so .. he was ..inspired by the Hindu godess Namagiri .. as could Jesus .. Mohamed .. do as well ..

it is a function ..that can take many values .. but would never be possible without the individual .. itself ..

if whatever Ramanujan .. has produced ..cannot be called .. spirituality .. gives body and substance to spirituality ..

brings down to earth .. that vague conceptualisation ..so maligned .. over ..time and place ..

lands it on a firmer ground .. from a ..non-existent realm .. to a realm that people live ..

Ramanunjan .. what he produced .. in that ..far-off place and time .. what was capable of .. an ability so vast ..

..but an ability that all of us ..carry ..have within .. no matter how little .. the amounts of this ..ability be .. it is there ..

.. ability in need to be nurtured .. augmented .. painstakingly ..no matter .. what Ramanunjan ..did effortlessly ..

.. all .. have the very same potential .. that Ramanunjan had .. and all should have the possibility ..to extend its reach ..to its utmost ..

for each one's sake .. enormous fulfillment out of it .. and for the very world ..itself ..

fucking banks ..and money ..

people have realised it .. learning ..education

destined for slavery ..

how the fuck .. can we do that .. in that world .. that its entrenched into money .. 

conditioned ..  to spend ..every fucking minute of their lives .. to think about ..fucking money ..

man's/woman's .. brain .. is made out of ..matter .. chemicals ..organised .. make .. the jumbling with ideas .. thinking possible ..

as for any ..chemical process there are .. waste products .. accumulate .. instigate ..fatigue .. so ..we can not keep thinking all the time .. need rest ..

in fact .. the conditions where .. one can fruitfully carry on ..mental ..cognitive processes ..is limited to a few hours every day ..

time ..is a precious ..commodity .. and certainly not .. time is money ..

time is ..overwhelmed .. by .. whatever .. money entails .. and even money do not enter into the function ..even ..if its not there ..

our lives are so horribly ..messed up .. that the brain is incapable of doing what it is there .. for doing .. destined to do ..
