In reflections of.......
In order for us to know
Who we are and
In the order of reality.
All knowledge......
By any measure is incomplete and
Creates friction / conflict...
When it operates
With in (any given)....
A dialectical framework.
Each time One / We choose
To do the right action....
One / We have set the history in
Right direction.
It is not meaningful
To aspire to change others....
Which in itself could be a misstep
With out changing oneself.
Evolution is all about finding
More rational and meaningful identities
And being able to redefine and hold
One's humanity.......
In better light.
The interests of the oppressors lie in
When ever we antagonize and
Hate someone / Others
We deem it is alright to do
Anything to hurt them.....
Even when we have lost the sense of
Right and Wrong Or
A semblance of human existence.....
Seldom.... If never
One has gained anything
With hatred.....
Leave alone winning hearts.
History is full of events
Many and
Much too many
To count and recount.....
Yet none counts in
Time that holds
All life in its grip....
As many fall short of
Dharma...
That which is central to
The making of history.
Dehumanization,
To See.....
Morality is a pretense
It is no measure of health
to be well adjusted
No two things can occupy
The same place at the same time
One can choose to do bad and not Or
Even choose to Good.....But
No one it seems to have ridden
These two horses at the same time
Except for may be
The ones.....
That pretend and
Others.....
That are not right in their mind.
In the logical progression of
Actions and thoughts
Everything is...
Self-explanatory
What falls short is
Our....
Discipline
Understanding and
Intelligence.
The rise and fall of political fortunes and
That of rivalries of establishment ideologies
At best are an abstract upheavals and
If not superficial are mostly irrelevant
But to pay a price with humanity
In any manner and to undermine
The values that govern human societies is
A shortcoming in democratic spirit
Even if not an abject fall
Still is unbecoming of
Any given society.
Every failure.....
Systemic or otherwise
Reduces possible solutions
To the point of......
(self) negation /contradictions
Upending......
A/the true potential future.
When you call yourself an Indian or a Muslim or
A Christian or A European, or anything else,
You are being violent.
Do you see why it is violent?
Because you are separating yourself from
the rest of mankind.
When you separate yourself by belief,
by nationality, by tradition, it breeds violence.
So a man who is seeking to understand violence
does not belong to any country, to any religion,
to any political party or partial system;
he is concerned with......
the total understanding of mankind.
― Jiddu Krishnamurti.
The wrongs and evils of this world
Historically are not our making....
But what we have for our times is
The ability to stop continuation of
Such wrongs....
The ability that which is given to
Us collectively and invested in
Each one of us....
Where we can put an end to
Such wrongs being perpetuated Or
Allow ourselves be swept under
The currents of wrong historical forces
In continuation.....
That not only undermine our existence
But make us leave behind
The very misguided foot prints of
Our false inheritance.....
As a legacy and direction for
Our future generations to come
Leaving their lives with the burden of
Another Past......
That is not free from the wrongs and evils of
Yesteryears.
Artistic creation, after all,
is not subject to absolute laws,
valid from age to age;
since it is related to the more general aim of
mastery of the world,
it has an infinite number of facets,
the vincula that connect man
with his vital activity; and
even if the path towards knowledge is unending,
no step that takes man nearer
to a full understanding of
the meaning of his existence can be
too small to count.
---Andrei Tarkovsky.
Do not repeat after my words
that you do not understand.
Do not merely put on a mask of my ideas,
for it will be an illusion and
you will thereby deceive yourself.
― Jiddu Krishnamurti.
It is obvious that art cannot
teach anyone anything,
since in four thousand years
humanity has learnt nothing at all.
We should long ago have become angels
had we been capable of paying attention
to the experience of art, and
allowing ourselves to be changed
in accordance with the ideals
it expresses.
--Andrei Tarkovsky.
The poet has nothing to be proud of.
He is not master of the situation,
but a servant.
Creative work is his only
possible form of existence,
and his every work is like a deed
he has no power to annul.
For him to be aware that the sequence of
such deeds is due and ripe,
that it lies in the very nature of things,
he has to have faith in the idea;
for only faith interlocks the system of images
for which read system of life.
--- Andrei Tarkovsky.
the most dangerous.
Not only are educated people likely
to have more influence,
they are the last people to suspect that
they don't know what they are talking about
when they go outside their narrow fields.

It is wrong always,
everywhere, and for anyone,
to believe anything upon
insufficient evidence.

It is immoral to believe things
for which one lacks evidence.
--William Kingdon Clifford.(1845-79)
English mathematician, philosopher.
No matter
Which station of Life
One is.....
There are always
Questions....
One does need to ask
Oneself.
The Anarchist never follows
the rest of the herd,
while The Rascal often hides.

People can be so.......
Pathologically frantic
To the extent that
They make......
A claim to witnessing
( as if they were bodily present)
Other worldly phenomenon.....
Likewise on planet earth.....
While being in netherworld.
One should not entertain
Undertake or Champion
Unnecessary trajectories
For they are......
Full of redundancies
That which lead to
A greater loss....
Irrespective of
Who One is.
One may assume ......
The corresponding human values are
An offshoot of traditions cultures and religions
But it is the evolutionary process of life
That gives way to and makes it
Possible for human values
That help protect and
Self sustain the species.
* * * * *
History has....
Its own evolutionary process
However .....
One may represent or
Present it.
Don't fear to be wrong
By error or accident
But do fear.....
When you do not try
To do Right or
Fail to do so.
The oppressed,
Girls are capable of doing
everything men are capable of doing.
Sometimes ......
they have more imagination than men.

To be a burden on other is
No less burden on to....
Oneself.
Instead choose...
Freedom
That which sustains
Thee.
When we buy in to Lies
Falsity of human nature and
Deception....
We make ourselves....
Guilty by association.
The possession of power over others is
inherently destructive both.....Money is the least of
All inheritances...
One can bequeath.... and
Off-course also.....
Poverty.
“A ruling intelligentsia,
whether in Europe, Asia or Africa, treats
the masses as raw material
to be experimented on,
processed and wasted at will.”
---Eric Hoffer.
It requires one
To be entrenched in....
False consciousness
While lacking any curiosity...and
Assuming to know
But also being so....
To the extent of being
Self delusional and idiotic.
The first impulse of
Weak minded is
To kill the messenger and
The devil rules over
Such impulse/s.
Creation is His seeking to
make souls out of matter.
Morally, matter "Per se" is neutral-
with form imposed on it,
good, but in any case
its basic nature is competitive.
No two things can occupy
the same place at the same time.
Hence pain......
But we must act with non-material motives.
What was his journey on earth
but a flouting of competitive values ? And
There is the Devil.
But with the devil
the whole cosmos became confused.
--- John Updike.
Dentistry and Doubt.
History has its own
Evolutionary process
However .....
What account some or
Those of many may
Represent or Present.
The tyranny of the Voice
That speaks (not so true words).....
The nature of ills
In to one's ear .....
Is no less evil
If not more than
The voice that critics....
Thee.
An unpretentious,
Open and True inquiry is.....
Most often perceived as a threat to
The establishment that prefers
A status quo......
Even at the cost of
( for which it never pays or
bears responsibility)
Being decadent.
