Death and Truth

 When you see a train of people going after a dead body to perform last ritual, you may feel sad that someone left. But what we fail to realize is one day we have to meet the same fate. 

I use to think that I will know the truth and truth will cure the death and people will be able to come back from deathbed. My all time favorite SAVITRI by Sri Aurobindo depicts how Savitri take back her dead husband. Longing for knowing truth with the help of Physics, Mathematics then turning face towards religious texts, nothing satisfied me. Arts and Law helped to understand human necessities and necessities to manage its activities. 

Yet what is death? I don't know my birth and by blessing of God I think I will not know my death too. Then this madness called Life, a mass packed with limitless desires running here and there for life, own life, and some evils running towards others life. I don't know why Poets said soul will not die, and soul being the ultimate that know or for which this body function but we see it dies. To say soul is ultimate may be not that tangible. 

Fortunately I came to realize that the only truth is Death, may not be easy to face though. All human efforts are to postpone it. Human can't eliminate death of their own forget about others. But the mother earth is so generous she gave power to postpone it to those who make use of earth intelligently. Like the Bhagavat said Mother Earth is the Cow, Brahmin milk 4 vedas out of it and so on. Just by being Sanyasi and waiting for death as it is the ultimate reality will not make human any good. It is the virtue for which we must strive and virtue is in fighting the death till last breath. All those who strive for postponing the death are called Civilized society and those who wait are just like animals. We may disagree with life but it is what it is in existence, rest are mere theories or madness.

Sustainable development of Life

 XYZ whatever be the technicalities of a life process, the origin is, as I am convinced at this point of time, nothing but wish of Nature or who create the nature. The sole purpose of life is to consume itself. Consume is really the worst word in this context. Let me say to observe the beauty of itself by itself. Hence, we are designed in such a way with such and such purposes by the ultimate guiding truth which is ever full of knowledge of all kind. It can do anything (proof: various form of lives), it is evolved or it is ordained by truth can be a debate. Base of life is nature or life (especially human) struggle with nature to evolve itself. First one provide possibilities of re-creation of more sophisticated or more adaptable life suitable to the nature at that point of time, second is more egoist approach to life and claim nature as nothing but inert objects which are subject to enjoyment or preservation for enjoyment in future (as now discussed in the name of sustainable deve...

Ethics : Dharma of Individual (Yoga Sutra)

 Ethics as virtue-  it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society. [dying for group's belief ] Ethics as utility- it is collection of desirable action for sustaining society and more rudely exchanged in name of utility, often society can buy desirable action for society and tag it with ethics. [dying in poverty is ethical but to save life by robbery is not] Ethics of universal rationality- whatever action that can be universalized is ethical and others are not. collectively it again universalize social needs over individual {I am deficient here....} Ethics of social contract- here even an attempt to hide the social behavior and labeling it as ethics has been withdrawn [collective interest labeled as ethics] In my limited understanding these alternatives, individuality is easily coerced by society. But these definitions are not capable to define anything at all. Many things now called Ethics are borrowed from religion. Mainly non-violence and etc. can be traced di...

Dharma Ra Nyaya-1

 In no way I am writing with any certainty about these words or realities or whatever phenomena they are. But with quite a discussion with a learned friend of mine, clarity of thoughts seems to built within. However, from very surface reading and my own biases, Dharma and Nyaya have been same thing for me. Naya here is not a branch of philosophy rather justice in its strict sense.  What is Nyaya? In its day-to-day life, a decision by court of justice is itself justice. One can try to cry over and over yet in short run whatever a reason of court is will be justice. However, in truth, justice is related with what a pure human consciousness guide the human being as a justice is justice. Qualifying consciousness with purity may be a false attempt to define something undefined. Here, purity of reason can do good work. With hope , purity of reason coincide with one true reason by all human being. With a good wish, many have found to place great trust in universal reason or something...
