Truth and Farce.....Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah ...........

In using farce to debunk the truth and

When we invest in making farce 

A reality.......

Truth begins to fallow .....

To expose the farce

In order to restore us to

True reality.

         *       *       *       *      *

Dharmo Rakshati Rakshitah..

Dharma protects those 

Who protect Dharma.

----Manusmṛti, Ch. 8, verse 15.

           *       *      *      *      *

Dharma is generally defined 

as righteousness or duty.

Dharma is the principle of 

righteousness.

It is the principle of holiness. 

It is also the principle of Unity.

If you protect it, it will protect you.

It is your sole companion after death.

It is the sole refuge of humanity.

             *      *      *     *      *

That which elevates one is 

Dharma.

            *      *      *     *     *

 Dharma is that which leads one to 

the path of perfection and glory.

            *       *         *        *        *

Self-realization is

The highest Dharma.

Helping.............

Help those who seek truth and 

Also those who hide truth

Equally with out prejudice.

For the seeker of truth is 

With out motive or cause....and

Help those who hide truth

Until there is no more left to hide

After that it is for god and 

Good of humanity 

That decides every ones fate.

Reflections...

It gets hard to differentiate

when one becomes 

One's own parody.

-- Joshua Eaton on twitter.

    *       *        *       *

Laissez faire, telle devrait être la 

devise de toute puissance publique, 

depuis que le monde est civilisé ... 

Détestable principe que celui de ne 

vouloir grandir que 

par l'abaissement de nos voisins! 

Il n'y a que la méchanceté et la malignité 

du coeur de satisfaites 

dans ce principe, et l’intérêt y est opposé. 

Laissez faire, morbleu! Laissez faire!!

          *        *      *       *       *

Leave it be, that should be the motto of 

all public powers, 

as the world is civilized ... 

That we cannot grow except by lowering 

our neighbors is a detestable notion! 

Only malice and malignity of heart is satisfied 

with such a principle and our (national) 

interest is opposed to it. 

Leave it be, for heaven's sake! Leave it be!
   

To Act.......

When working with Good people

One should make sure They know what one is up to

While working with Bad people

One Should make sure to take Liberties to do good.

Place of Prayer......

When a place of prayer is used

for purposes other than what it is

Its relevance is lost and

It no more stands on the sacred ground.

Protectionism.......

Protectionism and aggression are born out of

insecurities known and unknown.

Prejudice..........

Prejudice is an affliction of Human intelligence

that leads one to be blind in ones wisdom as opposed to

an insight leading to a proper understanding.

A racist ,castist mind..........

A racist,castist mind is the One

that is endowed with such ignorance and prejudice

which makes it lead a more disgraceful life

than the one it discriminates up on. 

To know.....

Ther is no more unknown in what is all ready known

and only in the unknown lies the possible future.

 *    *    *     *

A bhramin by cast is a distanced entity from the Bhraman.

By and large every person is a castist and recist

For it is by virtue of reason one gets to see

The fasle nature of such identities

for such indeties in the first place are always

the making of the unreasonable.

Athbutha...... ( Purva Memansa)

What God has prepared for those Who love him/her......

No eye has seen

No ear has heard

No mind has conceived........

   ---- Isaiah 64 : 4

The idea of Reforms..........

The very idea of reform favors

strengthening of all governing establishments

running counter to the notion of dilution of powers

except that of those who are culpable and

progressively redundant.

(Reform means the improvement or amendment of what is wrong, corrupt, unsatisfactory, etc.)

Duality of Right and Wrong...

Any conscious process (manufacturing) 

In making of....

A supposed right action and

The justification of such

Happens by way of

A rational.....

That inadvertently ignores 

The wrongs of it.

Moral Ineptitude....

Criminality and Culpable human nature is

A demented state of Being

where one is incapable of transcending

To the realities of human compassion

spirit of equality, fairness and justice for all.


              *      *      *      *       *

To become prejudiced towards Others and

To discriminate because of one identity or another is

nothing but  moral ineptitude.

The making of Reality.............

What One sees and make it out as Reality is

One's own conditioned perception as I and The,

Where as Reality is  all together

Immanence in its differentiation.

Beginning days of Lent............

Jesus said to his disciples.......

Take care not to perform righteous deeds

In order that people may see them.

Otherwise you will have no recompense from

Your Heavenly Father.

When you give Alms

do not blow a trumpet before you

as the Hypocrites do in the synagogues and

in the streets to win the praise of others.

Amen I say to You,

they have received their reward.

But when you give Alms

Do not let your left hand know

what your Right hand is doing

so that your alms giving may be secret.

And your father who sees in secret will repay you.

When you pray, do not be like Hypocrites

who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and

on the street corners, so that others may see them.

Amen I say to You

 they have received their reward.

When You fast, do not look Gloomy like the hypocrites

they neglect their appearance

so that they may appear to others to be fasting.

Amen I say to You

they have received their reward.

but when you fast anoint your head and wash your face

so that you may not appear to be fasting

except to your Father who is hidden

and your Father who sees what is hidden will repay You.

                                                                       -- Matthew.
                             

Trading......

Those who are in the business of Selling Lies

are often vulnerable to Buying Lies.

Institutional Cruelty.....

The institutionalized cruelty /crimes stem out of

Systematic corruption, incompetency,

empowered criminality and

mostly from failure of ideas / ideals.

A Deluzion to perfect Method.....

A deluzion to perfect method is

A revisit to Fascism in history.

The nature of Conflict.........

The morality of  any conflict and

The just and unjust nature of it are 

Man made....... and 

A conflict does not take sides

Either that of strong or weak  

Right or wrong........

Rather it unleashes destruction 

On all sides.......

Where time and history will be 

A mute spectators of human follies and 

It is for men/women to uphold 

The values that raise them

Beyond conflict and set them free

Where as to be rooted in conflict 

Is a condition not different 

From bondage of slavery.

The beginnings of a day.... A life......

This being Human is guest house

 

Every morning a new arrival.

A Joy, a depression , a meanness

some momentary awareness comes

as an unexpected visitor.....

Welcome and attend them all !

Even if they're a crowd of sorrows

who violently sweep your house 

empty of its furniture ,

still treat each guest honorable.

He may be clearing you out 

for some new delights.

The Dark thought , the shame, the malice,

meet them at the door laughing,and 

invite them in.

Be grateful for whoever comes because

Each has been sent as 

a guide from beyond.

---- Rumi.

Pretense to Myth.........

In times of pretense 

To Myth.....

The ability to 

Debunk it is

Real Courage.

To Deceive......

Often the desire to deceive others

Comes from self deception.

Living in the presence (moments).....

Living in the presence (moments) is

a unified experience of Past and Future

in the Present.

Reflections......

A foolish consistency is 

the hobgoblin of little minds, 

adored by little statesmen and 

philosophers and divines.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882).

Sacrifice......

A sacrifice in the name of myth

Albeit....... 

Even in the name of a false one 

Would remain as a reference......

While the myth goes down in history

As an act of prim·i·tiv·ism 

In the evolution of mankind

But........

The sacrifice will be remembered 

In critical appreciation

Like most good deeds

In human history.

Making Movies.....

There are only Two reasons for which

Movies should be made

One is personal another One is to make magic.

       *       *      *      *      *     *

To tell those stories in ways that

Surprise us and remind us of

The Opera that we are living

with every mistake and

Every new chance.

---- David O.Russel.
American Film Maker.

An uncritical mass.....

If people both as individuals and collective 

Were to allow free reign to..... 

Human perversions under any guise 

Then both sides of any given conflict 

Would end up indulging in mischievous..... 

Irrational....immoral and 

Unethical behaviors 

That succeed...... 

Only in bringing suffering and 

Disaster to humanity.

In compromising ones citizenry...............

A society that desires to thrive 

By compromising its citizenry 

At its creative best........ 

Would only produce 

A body of intelligence 

That has very little to contribute and 

Critics that hold very little meaning.

The One and only Truth..........

Many people, 

Especially ignorant people

want to punish you for speaking 

the truth, 

for being correct, for being you.

Never apologize for being correct or

for being years ahead of your time.

If you're right and you know it

speak your mind.

Even if you are a minority of one, 

the truth is still the truth.

--M.K.Gandhi.
As retold by Eden to: 

"community_forum@lists.occupyboston.org Forum"

    *        *        *        *        *

                  THE ONLY TRUTH

We might be one and even alone 

In our respective truth.....but

In understanding

We are whole.......

And the only complete truth.

To be Moral......

To act moral........ 

Without being truthful is

A Devil's design.

Truth in conflict..........

There is no conflict 

(with in) in Truth....and

There is no conflict 

Between Truths

Nor there can be a conflict 

Between Truth and Lie

But there is always 

A conflict in Lies.

--Jiddu Krishnamurti.

An insider........

There is no one that is an insider

It is just a notion of self privilege

by which fallible individuals get seduced

where as an insider is nothing

but a stooge among stooges

becoming a part in a narrative ,

which as a construct is far distanced from

Truth, Morality and Humane logic.

Thus an insider becomes a larger part of a divisive chaos.

To be Responsible............

He that would make his own liberty secure

must guard even his enemy from oppression;

For if he violates this duty he establishes

A precedent that will reach to himself.

– Thomas Paine, Dissertation on First Principles of Government (July 1795)

A Choice....

Evil is the "best fake"....

For it presents as a "choice"

Two sides of the same coin.

Reflections.....

A Lie gets halfway around the world

 before the Truth  has a chance to get its pants on.

                         -- Winston Churchill.

The Nature of human condition......

All consciousness is embedded with

 Every divisible aspect of nature .

The difference between being

aware and unaware is

What makes one part of the universal

in the known and unknown.

Motive comes forth only in

the subjectivization of the Universal.

Thus the phenomenon of Reality

as perceived and experienced is

What affects the Human condition.

Reflections.....

A nation or civilization 

that continues to produce 

soft-minded men 

purchases 

its own spiritual death 

on the installment plan.

--Martin Luther King, Jr.                    

  *        *        *        *       *

The first requisite of 

civilization is that of justice.

--Sigmund Freud.

Parasites and Patriots.

It is in the very Deceptive nature of Parasite

That masquerades as a Patriot.

Singing the Dead.....

A Dead Wo /Man needs 

No laurels

More then when Alive.

        *       *      *     *       *

What difference does it make 

To the dead.....

The orphans and the homeless

Whether the mad destruction is 

Wrought under........ 

The name of totalitarianism Or

The holy name of 

liberty and democracy?"

-- Mahatma Mohandas K. Gandhi.

Reflections..........

Patriotism is the Virtue of 

The Vicious.

               *           *            *

Selfishness is not living as 

One wishes to live

It is asking Others to Live as 

One wishes to Live.

              *            *            *

Seriousness is...... 

the only refuge of shallow.

               *           *           *

The aim of life is........ 

Self-development

To realize ones nature perfectly

That is what each of us is here for.

--- Oscar wilde.

The Nature of Problamatic.......

One should address every issue

That presents itself as "Problematic"

With equal and objective concern

Otherwise one would end up with

A flawed Understanding of .....

The times one lives in.

Past Obessions.....

We should not try and create 

The past in Future

Which would be 

Our undoing in History

We have to Leave behind 

Both Good and Bad of the past

As in the understanding of 

What it has been and

Create our present and 

Work towards.....

A future that equitable 

With freedom and compassion

For each other.

       *        *        *        *        *

                  PSALM  1

Blessed are the man and women

Who have grown beyond 

Their Greed and have put an 

End to their hatred and

No longer nourish Illusions.

But they delight in the ways things are and

Keep their hearts open day and night.

They are like Trees planted 

near flowing rivers

Which bear fruit when they are ready

Their leaves will not Fall or Wither

Everything they do will Succeed.

---- Stephen Mitchell.

A Sunday reading @ 

Universal Unitarian Church.

Orwell on Journalism,,,,,,,,,,

Journalism is printing what someone else 

does not want printed: 

Everything else is public relations.

  ― George Orwell

Injustice as Slavery...........

Justice is A process by which we try to Redress

Our mutual grievances in the most Humanistic way.

In the end nothing can recompensate or replace

One's Loss and Deprivation.

The Injustice that is not redressed in its times

As a consequence is passed on to

Future generations as a burdened Slavery.

True Education is all about finding A way

To put an end to such Human inconsistencies,

So that Humanity can have complete Freedom and

The ability to Restore Justice for One and All.

One way to Serve God.........

మానవ సేవే మాధవ సేవ ...!


--- Mahatma Gandhi.

Righteousness.........

Ones Righteousness is Not greater than Others Suffering.........

Righteous Repression..............

The Culpability of Weak minded

in any Divided society

Lacking in the ability for Humility and Compassion

Seeks to reinvent Itself by

Righteous Repression and Abuse of Humanity.

Once Fortunes and Concerns..........

I have more important concerns in Life....

Other than what people deem Just

Not because.......... 

I have only Pennies to spend on them

They are  no less important

On the contrary........ 

They are more important because

I have only pennies spent.....

Where Fortunes are needed.

To Preach and To Pray.........

Gather around few Words

that are close to your Heart.

May be they are Few

but they will still be True.

Success in Speculation.......

Speculation is the least measure of Success.

Cruelty and Grief............

Amidst Cruelty lies Sadness..

In grief, One is alone.

Valmiki to Sage Valmiki............

Criminal thoughts and 

Criminal behavior 

Germinate from 

An inferior consciousness 

That has a psychological apatite for 

Self fulfillment.

Its roots lie in the nature of intelligence 

That is lacking in spiritual

Religious and cultural evolution .

About Truth and Clarity in Others........

Truth and Clarity is not what we try to See in Others

 but what we keep in Ourselves.

Misery.............

Misery is born out of A distorted mind

that is incapable of facing Reality.

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.

రాజుల ఆస్థి మరియు ప్రజల భక్తీ ........

భక్తీ లేని నైవేధ్యం కుక్కల పాలు.

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.
