What is location?
Kannadasn’s
famous lyrics ‘Parama sivan kazhuthilirindhu pamb kettadhu Garuda sowkyama’
I remember
reading somewhere that he makes his home where living is best and when a
scholar was asked about what is of vital importance when buying a home. It
seems he said, “The three most important factors in buying a
home are, location, location, location!”
Location in
abstraction or conceptualization is not a mere geographical area of real estate
space but it extends to the context of a
topic, theme, idea, subject, period , ideological milieu, reliving or living an experience etc
That’s why
contextual/situational relevance is of primary importance.
All our actions,
speech, thought, attitude must synchronize with that frequency.
Everything is
situational or contextual that’s why none of the world’s religious scriptures
have anything on cyber crime.
Solitude can
eject several conceptualized situations psychologically.
The intensity of
intimate feeling can bring any location in proximity mentally. For example
today I was listening to a Lalgudi’s rendering while traveling in bus but my
whole being was sitting in Krishna Gana Sabha in the 80s when Lalgudi was
playing for K.V. Narayanaswamy’s
poorvikalyani raga.
Our spirits can
be transported to any location that was the secret of clairvoyants, people with
ESP etc.
The best location
is one’s oneself in calmness, either naturally occurring in one’s inner self or
worked up with conscious efforts and awareness methodically as part of
personality development through clarity of perception of the contextual
relevance, and then prioritizing thoughts and actions based on that relevance
mostly with a sense of balance so that we are always in a peaceful and happy
location within.
In this sense
location is confined in dimensions of space and time but the exportation of the
spirit and experience of the self in a particular or any specific atmosphere
one wants to be in or chooses to be in.

Contextual’
