The Gift Of Indian Intelligentsia

        Today the very  life on our planet is being  threatened. Not only terrorists are blasting destructions but the balance of Nature is disturbed. Seasons  became out of sequence,

rivers and ponds are polluted  and drying  slowly , water level is sinking beneath the earth , fresh air is rare , forests  are disappearing, and many  species vanishing.

        Social and family values have been greatly affected by the central values of the market which is – advantage. Advantage  even at the cost of human sensitivities and feelings.

        New technologies are being launched constantly which is distorting  the very humanness of man and his relationship with everybody around him. And the control of technology is in the hands of the market which has only one goal – advantage. Advantage is not just one time matter . It is a vicious circle of constant growth. Honestly, I say it is a naked dance of advantage-mongering-psychology  what we now know as Western value oriented modern civilization.   

       Advantage-mongering-psychology has one word in Sanskrit, that is TRISNA.

        If  we can see the world thru the third eye – it looks like it is burning in a vast devastating wild fire  of  trisna. Trisna never grows old, it is ever green youthful and powerful. 

This powerful trisna, today has brought a terrible threat  of extinction of humanity as a whole.

        All streets are lit with flood of light but people inside are all dark.

        Everybody has a phone , computer , TV, fan , electrical equipments. Progress is welcome. Nobody suggests you to go back to stone age. 

        Now here  Western intelligentsia is confused and hopelessly helpless.

 

Here comes Indian Intelligentsia which tells us,

 

       There must be a speedy  progress but it must not  be lopsided. Material progress has to be founded upon spiritual progress  which  right at the start establishes a deep harmony  in the Nature and a  decency and genuine  feelings  in

human relationships.

        India’s spirituality begins  with a new vision that  life and Nature are not apart  from each other but  interconnected and one.

       That Nature  and animals  are for the use of humans is a wrong theory! Both have life and so have equal status.

All life forms are fruits in the tree of Nature . Fullness of life is developed in the wholeness of nature.

        Indian intelligentsia has witnessed  many  cases of  rise of  selfish  imperialisms but  it diagnosed it as  one of the many human impulses  like hunger, security , competition , quest , ego etc. It has also encountered  conflict  and  war among

them but  also harmony as well. 

        Indian intelligentsia  has  recognized  and evolved techniques , process , methods as  how  to control , organize ,subjugate all destructive impulses of  abnormal and normal human life and used them for constructive purposes. It has developed  meditations , yoga, art  , music , dance , ceremonies , mystic lifestyle and a whole culture to transmute this trisna energy into divine experiences.

        Indian Intelligentsia researched on atom and matter  and found it to be one with consciousness. It went deep into the rock bottom of I ness and  has discovered its atonement with the Universe.

        Indian intelligentsia has considered  on  the purpose  of life and found four different goals for people of  four different levels of consciousness:

Financial , sensual, psychic  and Enlightenment.

        This keeps a balance in society.  

        It  evolved   arts to enrich the world of  interactions thru friendship with high minded , happy ones.

Compassion with miserable  ones , cheers with  meritorious ones and indifference with ‘wet blanket’ (heavy, burden) like ones and negativity stuck ones.

        Bravery is given highest value, and kindness and non violence  to all living beings is established as central values of life, with exception of traitors.

        A unique  sacredness and selflessness is infused in almost all relationships in life. 

        Indian intellectuals have eliminated all the horror and dread from the word ‘’death’’ by calling it, ‘’mere change of body’’.  Truth is established  as God Himself. Obliviously the Truth [God] within is imperishable and the body with its related

Items are perishable, always vanishing .

        This  precept is deeply established as set pattern of life which kept India’s history free from centuries long dreaded bloodshed,  whereas  in Europe and America and the Middle East,  the history of  monotheistic religions has made rivers of blood from innocents.

        In fact Indian intellectuals have given the matchless gift of the understanding of immortality to Mankind, thru the discovery of unification of Self Consciousness with the Cosmic Consciousness. After attaining  which  no body is treated as ‘others’, ‘aliens’ or ‘foreigners’.

        The purpose of creation, according  to Indian intellectuals is  expansion of happiness. Life is from bliss, for bliss and  thru bliss. Therefore enjoyment is not condemned as in the Bible traditions but  the secret is, it has to be enjoyed with inherent  stamina  of un-involvement / detachment . Otherwise,  be sure you are helplessly heading towards troubles.

        The direct message from Indian intellectuals is harmony  between  materialism and  spiritualism , between science  and meditation , between the timelessness of meditation and the timelessness of hard works , between breathless love and  the breathlessness of  new experiments, between egolessness  before tough situations of life and wgolessness  of  divine presence.

 

        It is this harmony and symphony of life that I am intending to share by coming to the beautiful people of Europe.
