Virtue........

Bigotry is A virtue of the Deceived.

Resistence.........

The only justified Human action is Resistance...

In Memory of Reverend Martin King Jr............

To be accused of a crime and 

To stand alone

To be questioned and 

To answer for once innocence 

After all is a triumph of Truth

On the other hand...... 

To accuse someone falsely is

To commit a crime 

Which is not only a true disgrace

But also a sin against humanity and 

One self.

--with reference to introspective moments

@ Occupy Boston.

          *       *       *       *       *     

Cowardice asks the question, 

"Is it safe?" 

 

Expediency asks the question, 

"Is it politic?" 

 

Vanity asks the question, 

"Is it popular?" 

 

But, conscience asks the question, 

"Is it right?" 

 

And there comes a time when 

One must take a position 

 

That is neither safe, 

nor politic, nor popular, 

 

but one must take it because 

one's conscience tells one 

 

that it is right.

-- Martin Luther King Jr.

Einstein on Spirituality......

The further the spiritual evolution of 

Mankind advances

the more certain it seems to me that

the path to genuine religiosity 

does not lie through the fear of life and 

the fear of death, and blind faith but 

through striving after rational knowledge.

-- Albert Einstein(1879-1955) 

Belief as Guide.........

Believe nothing merely 

because you have been told it.

Do not believe 

what your teacher tells you

merely out of respect for the teacher.

But whatsoever, 

after due examination and analysis,

you find to be kind, conducive to the good, 

the benefit,the welfare of all beings 

that doctrine believe and cling to,

and take it as your guide.

-- Buddha
[Gautama Siddharta] (563 - 483 BC), 

Hindu Prince, founder of Buddhism.

To be One with One's Society..........

If one can not be critical and 

Rebel against one's Society 

More so....... 

When it is mired in Corruption and  

Incompetency.......

Then that Society and Nation is 

Not worth  Honoring.......

For it will soon lapse in to 

A self destructive dynamic and 

There is real disgrace for 

One to be part of such........

On the other hand 

Good Men and Women

Not only uphold what they Value 

But also stake every thing..... 

For which they Honor.

Patriotism...........

Patriotism is often

A disguise for.....

The Criminals amongst us

Who live by appropriating  

The Common rights......

While declaring........ 

Others as unpatriotic.

Immunity.......

The very notion of seeking Immunity 

For our Actions 

Is born out of foolish Delusion 

Where One tends to believe that 

One's Actions are hidden from  

The discerning Eye 

The every Act of hiding One's deeds 

Either knowingly or Unknowingly becomes

A seed of Cancer One breeds with in 

Which like any truth has 

Its own consequences in course of time  

Where One and All are accounted  both  

For the thoughts that meditated Up on  and 

The subsequent Actions.

Healing Ourselves.............

There in History, Each generation Struggles to

Find a way out of troubled waters and

The conditions that Plague them.

In the ensuing Struggle 

They come Face to Face with

The  forces that Oppose them

They are No Enemies except for the

Ignorance and indifference

That has taken Root like an

Unattended Disease and

The Fight is to find Ways to Heal the both of US.

        - For Occupy Boston.

As a Leader..........

As an Individual and 

Leader of our times

Like every other person 

I have every desire to give others 

What they Wish for.......

As long as every Person is 

Allowed their freedom 

To lead  a life of their choosing and are 

Free from suffering and abuse and 

Are treated as equal.......

For that is Democratic and 

Respect for each other.

To stand Alone......

One has to be free to be able to

Stand up Alone for Truth.

One could be called a Holy person and

Yet not stand up for Truth.

Jesus said I will put my self on the Cross for You

So that You can walk the path of Truth and

It is not about Me

But about You and Your Children I speaketh.

To Give and To Take................

It is in the nature of Beast ( Animal Spirit)

To  grab, To take and even Steal

Where as by Compassion and Charitable Spirit

One comes to have Divine Rights.

Monkey Business.....

All Action born of Human Intelligence

Is Monkey Business.

The path to Perfection................

The path to Perfection is

A Riddle and a Long drawn

Existential Struggle

That is not complete

Even after the Mortal departure.

Moral distinction and Fascist spirit.............

A pass time of indulgent Society

where Once Actions are invested in

Overblown Mischief and Unhealthy Fear mongering

Leading to Abuse and Annihilation of Others

Instead of seeking to Eradicate

the "Real crime and Criminals"that are amongst (Affect) Us.

Subjects of False Morality.........

In any given society

Adherence to False Moral Values will

Only breed Misery and Suffering

Subjecting its Citizenry to Fear and

Mistrust of Each other leading to

A Life lived with Insecurities

Lacking in the ability to Self Govern.

Knowing God.........

It is certain that One can not know

Who or What God Is

But It is Unworthy of being Human

If One were not to Experience

An Aspect of God in Ones life's Experiences.

Traditions.......

In any given Tradition A slavish idea

Desires to Empower Itself

In the likeness of Its Ruler/s.

Such Is The need to confirm

Or seek as such.

To be free is To be Free

From All Notions of Identity

Even that of ones Own Self

And to dwell in A Sphere

That is with complete Abundance of Life

Is A Tradition that is Alive and

Free from its Own Trappings.

Justice is Humanity.

Justice is not something

What we give to others

To be Just is Something

What We are On to Ourselves.

The Seducer and The seduced......

In A Bigoted Sophistry

It is The Seducer that is Seduced.

Prejudice.........

To be prejudiced is to Live

In A  suspended state of Delusion

That is beyond Humanity and Divinity.

New Beginnings..........

One can only start A New beginning

By Reading out of the Past.

Even the most beautiful creation of God

As past becomes Perishable.

Friends and Enemies.

A Principled Enemy is better than 

An Unscrupulous Friend.

Human Affairs...

There is no Sanctity to Human Affairs.

Writer.

A Good Writer is  Some One

Who can See The End of the Narrative.

Shatranj Ke Kiladi...

The Noble Game has

Its depths in which

Many a Fine and Gentle Soul,

Alas have Vanished.

___ An Old German Master.

Truth.

Truth is the Redeemer of all Sins.

The making of History.....

The making of history is 

Beyond......... 

The Conscious control of 

Any one.

Pyasa....

Death is a Redeemer of One's Existential Angst.

Victory.

The Only and True Victory is Moral Victory

That Which is compassionate and Understanding.

All else is Seduction of Senses

That Rules The lower order of Species.

Order of Beings.....

Every society wants 

A Holy man /woman 

Among them.....

But  no one 

Wants to be

Likewise.........

To parasite on

Holiness is 

The order of 

Lower Intelligence.

Winning Hearts......

One can not win hearts in difference.

To Fight.

The Only True fight is fight for Truth

All else is just a Selfish persuit.

The Ritual.....

All Action,Thought,Pleasure and

Power are just a Ritual.

Discourse..........

A discourse is a Context

apart from also being a Subject.

It come in To because of

The problematic nature of  Human Agency.

Humble Victory...............

The Humility to accept Truth is yet

A Humble Victory

Even so with A loss of Face.

What is Immoral and Obnoxious..........

What is Immoral obnoxious about

The so called Modern Societies is...

The false moral desire to look for A Savior

A Prophet or A Saint amongst the others to qualify

And hold a Gun to others.

Whilst, one is just a Criminal and

Sanctifying oneself as a Judge,

Though the best and sure way to hide

One's  immoral acts.

It is sure like the most primitive of

The Human Intelligence

That sought out a Prophet

As far back as Two thousand years,

While judging him as a criminal.

 Sanctimony and sadism have always gone together.

Secrecy..........

Secrecy (undue) breeds favoritism

Corruption and abuse of humanity

Often misrepresenting........ 

Facts in history.

What not to Be...............

Either for any individual or  for A Society

The worst stage to reach in Human history is to

End up like One's Oppressors.

Tathāgata.

What stirs in nature?

That is not by itself

and that which is by itself is Tathāgata.

To Lie.

Lying is not only undermining of

Ones own intillegence

but also a life lived as Lie.

Conflict and Understanding.........

All conflict is born out of Ignorance

In wisdom there is only Understanding.

One's enemies......

One is never free from One's enemies

Especially the ones hidden with in oneself.

To Be..........

All knowledge is suspect.

As in the likeness of Human Wisdom

which has no frontiers

Human Foolishness can find its expression

that is unfathomable and as such

Humans are capable of their destruction by the

instruments of their Own Conscious making.

While the Supreme nature of consciousness

in its right understanding will lead to right Action

Thus bringing glory to Humans

In their respective ways

Enabling then to  become realized beings.

Nature of One's Actions..........

Without factual reference

Ones knowledge becomes

A flawed understanding

leading to actions

that are entrenched in

Relativistic causality (Karmic)

Far from being objective or

Divine or Enlightned in any sense.

So is what one knows and 

What one lives and believes in.

"Aham Brahmasmi"

I am called a Hindu, a Muslim,

A Christian and a Buddhist

I am also called a dalit, a tribal and an atheist

I am Human that God created

in the likeness of one self.

I am the face of every religion.

Among the people of reason

truth becomes just a matter of fact and

an ASS wise and noble.

While among the unreasonable

even GOD is seen as ASS.

Moral Disposition.

Morality is not ideological

Intellectual or even philosophical.

One can not even claim to be moral

because one is Victim.

It is not a privilege

nor is It in ones right or power

to execute or even abuse it.

Morality resides in neutral domain

that we call godly and good.

where even Animals have moral disposition

It lies in the simplicity of Just human being

which does not mean being born as Human.
.

To know God.

with out knowing one self

One can not know others

Leave alone knowing god or the world out there.

The ability to see reality in its unblemished self.

Empathy is a grace

by which Humanity learns to

Some are let go off.

What rules this world is difficult to say.

As the saying goes

in this world of impermanence

No one could tell

when the rains come and a life depart.

Logic.

Logic is the forte of

the conditioned minds

where as the wise are humane and compassionate

which is nothing but

a reflection of higher intelligence.

Good Will.

Good will towards all

is the true religion.

--- Budhacarita.

A reading from the book of Wisdom.

God did not make death

nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living.

He fashions all things that they might have being and

the creatures of the world are wholesome and

there is not a destructive drug among them nor

any domain of the nether world on earth

for justice is undying.

For God formed man to be imperishable

the image of his own nature he made him

But by the envy of the Devil

death entered the world and

they who belong to his company experienced it.

The beauty of life.

The beauty of life lies in its simple truths.

To be a Good person.

Indiscriminate use of ones powers

will ultimately make one a destructive force

and a criminal but not a good person.

The significance of Truth...........

In truth one not only finds 

Oneself but also gets to know 

The true nature of reality 

As it stands.......

By which one gains...... 

The necessary understanding 

That becomes the foundation for 

Ones actions that are flawless

Otherwise one's world is marooned 

In darkness and confusion

While the misery eats in 

Bringing misfortune and grief in to 

What is all ready an imperfect world.

Then what ever purpose..... 

One assumes that human life has

If at all if there is any...... 

Which was the basis for any of 

The earlier actions in the first place

Losses its relevance........ 

When all hope for truth is lost.

In the end when one has become

all knowing and God like

one no more needs the world and

the world also does not need one.
