Humans never understand
how privileged they are. No human can survive in extreme weather, like winters
or hot summers, unless they are inside a house. We are never grateful for what
we have been given. We like to complain and weep over every situation every now
and then. Humans can get hurt super easily. Our egos are super fragile; just a
few words are enough to throw us down the hill. Just a few words are enough to
hurt their religious sentiments. We rarely smile; we briefly play the
eccedentesiast when reality ("what is") aligns our expectations.
Otherwise, you are stupidly smart enough to invent new reasons to cry. At
times, we even complain about the weather, as though universe must adhere to
your imagination. How smart is that?
What are religious
sentiments? Something they blindly believe in, something which is
uninvestigated or something they heard from someone, something which is
borrowed from their parents and society. They keep
on unquestionably repeating those activities till the end of their
lives. It is very harsh to see that someone has worn their lives out. Someone
had lived through them. Who is that someone? Their parents? Their ancestors? Or
some random person born 1000 years ago. Where is your intellect, sleeping?
To me, they are doing it because they are greedy; they want something else by
performing such rituals. Internally, do they want money, recognition, paradise
or better health? Do you want prosperity now or later? Am I wrong to think
that? But some of these things can be achieved with the right kind of
knowledge. Certainly not health, though. You don’t need instructions from
religious or spiritual books to arrive at the truth. I am not against books;
books are beautiful. They originate from the source, but they are not the
source. Even if you are a follower of a religion or a spiritual group,
investigate its fundamental principles. Read as many books as you can. Go
through different perspectives from other authors and analyse their
consequences—the good and the bad. There is no perspective without flaws. This
universe has a Yin-Yang nature.
But this analysis must
come from the perspective of the source, not from your rotten intellect. You do
not need to be intelligent for this. Remember, there will be many traps where
you can get stuck. The goal is not to become a knowledgeable person—another
form of ego. The goal is to be free from knowledge at will. Tabula rasa.
Remember, just a potent
seed is enough. Only water will satisfy thirst in the end, not cheap thrills. A
seed has the blueprint in its DNA to grow into a full-fledged tree of its kind,
but it needs the right conditions. Sometimes, even the right conditions are not
enough for germination, because the seed is not ready. I think this is the
human condition today. They are not ready. I don’t think there will be a day
when they will be.
Politicians defend their
seats to maintain power; industrialists defend their companies for money. It
does not matter if they are producing plastic, cutting wood, or producing toxic
chemicals. They turn away from questioning their own thoughts and actions. What
an impotent man he is who cannot analyse his own actions without self-bias?
Internally, they feel very insecure, and uncomfortable, and they want universe
to submit to their egos. You can try as hard as you can, eventually, only you
will turn like a loser before this creation. Because they will die. You will
die, and I will die. Haha.... If you are stupid enough, you will not
acknowledge this truth and turn away from this fact until you hit your death
bed.
Coming back to where I
got digressed, just a few words are enough to break relationships. Just a few
words are enough to break ten-year-old friendships. Just a few words are enough
to trigger them. Just a few images are enough to provoke anger and sex in them.
Just a few vulgar songs or movies will do it. You can make them do whatever you
want if you know how to trigger them. Generally, people sitting at the top of
the pyramid, like politicians and movie directors, know very well how to do it.
But don’t misunderstand me; these politicians are not free from this
dysfunction. They are even more intensely gripped by their egos. But who is
getting triggered in them? A media person can easily shake them with two or
three sensible questions. It seems like all of them fundamentally behave in a
similar manner. One must learn how to behave around them.
There is another class of
humans who will teach you those etiquettes. Humans are born to suffer the
negative side of their own imagination, which they are too proud of. They are
defending their falsehoods; they are defending their self-image, which is accumulated
unconsciously after their birth.
