रास्ता पकड़ो

रास्ता पकड़ो 

और सुनो रास्ते का कहना 

यह बताता है सच का मतलब 

और मतलब का सच 

अहम्  यही है पैरों के नीचे 

और कहीं भ्रम अधिक है

नहीं है यह स्थिर और न ही मूक 

यह बताता है और ले जाता है  

वहाँ जो तुम्हारा है  गंतव्य है उचित

Logic of Things

There is a logic of things and if that is not recognised and acted upon out of incompetence or ill will, it causes troubles and over time leads to crises. The incompetent analysts then see the outcomes of technical lapses as violations of great values. Ultimately it shows the crisis of intellectualism of the society in terms of quality.

Mythology

Historians take pain to underscore that their craft is not mythology, but the fact holds that mythology is far more important than what comes as history. Mythology encapsulates the lessons of good history, saves from the treacheries of bad history, and sustains life and its liveliness. Histories we have are useful or otherwise as tools or artefacts, but mythology lives and sustains people in their living.

On Love

What is known as love has several components. The basic component is obviously biological, and another is rather more psychological, one loves to possess beings and things. At another level, love is caring in reciprocation. The first is bare nature, the last is prudence, the middle one is troublesome. It is the drive to possess, dominate, and spoil that get people in crass competition and causes envy and hatred. And as such love and hate are sides of the same coin. Anyway, the love, the desirable love, is one gets into by being enlightened enough to value life and that person loves every being and thing which make our life.

Poverty

Poverty is not a natural human state. It is purely political. Political doctrines as such, and misplaced, misconstrued doctrines in particular, and doctrines with the hidden design for domination drive people to poverty. In India, over centuries generations of people lost what could have been the life of prosperity and happiness. The sheer prolonged deprivation made them see virtue in poverty and hunger. They made a religion of non-possession. Nothing can be more tragic than this but it remains a state of wrongful politics.

Social Media

Mankind's one of the greatest gifts to self is social media. It empowers people almost universally to speak to others from a public platform, which hitherto was a privilege for only a few. Though this leaves the refined gentry aghast as they see the uninformed, unformed, vulgar, and brazen opinions flood the space. But, sometimes these indecent elements speak what is critically required to be spoken and the wise people invariably refrain from saying those critical words. We, the ordinary folks, must be supportive of making the space as open and accessible as possible. We must always try to clean the space but must not stop one from dirtying it. They too help.

Speaking

Speaking is the prime enabler of being. Speaking to self is equally important as one knows oneself better.
