Your Knowledge

This post is kind of continuation of previous post but with a different subtitle :)

Have you ever noticed, your knowledge put constraints on you. Your knowledge binds you. Generally, we think the more you know, the more good you are. I would say, the more you know the more polluted you are. You've stuffed your mind with external information. However, this might be necessary from the survival of fittest point of view. The survival of fittest is not the full story. It's just one aspect. There exist two things - beauty and logic. Society chooses logic. Buddha chooses beauty - Internal beauty. There exists being and body. Society chooses body. Buddha chooses being. In one of my previous post I said great people create disparity in the society. That' true. That's required. Someone has to show the total aspect of life to society. Society is blind. It doesn't bother to dive deep into consciousness. You get up, you open your eyes, you see this world, and you think that's what all it is. The world which is so important for you was the least important to Buddha. That's why he became Buddha. He became infinite. Society had been always in hurry. Always. Hurry up!. When you hurry you miss. Everyone is in hurry. The word "Hurry" gave so much disaster to society that even thousands of Osama cannot do that. The effect one word is enough to distract the entire human civilization. Aren't you always in hurry. You think time is moving faster. When you go office you are in hurry to reach time. I had a friend in KGP. He always used to go class on time. You can see his hurryness to catch 7:30am class. He will walk fast. He will eat fast. His face will be slightly tensed. As if something very very great thing gonna happen in the class. And when you reach to class, the professor start stuffing information in your brain. Basically, society had made you like that. It has not started today or yesterday. It's running from centuries. When you were in hurry going class did you listen the bird singing? Did you watch the morning nature's beauty? Did you see the morning dew glistering on the grass? Did you see the flowers blossoming? Did you feel the cool breeze touching your body? No you did not. You were in hurry going class. Again, it's not your fault. Society made you like that. Society forced you to do like that. Because that way society is making you part of their system. They are just making you cog in the wheel. Of course you get some benefit out of that. You get good grades by hurrying. But you will miss the beauty of nature. Beuty of nature is just a small part. Basically, you miss your being itself. You miss your existence itself. Society always attack on your existence. First they will force you to forget your existence. So, from totality point of view someone is 10 pointer or 6 pointer make no difference to toality. The 10 pointer guy always kept his head busy with books. The 6 pointer may be busy watching nature, watching movies, singing etc. Both are complementary. But to society complimentary things can be of different importance. To society 10 pointer guy can be more valuable. Because, he has followed what society wanted him to follow. He is an obidient slave. He didn't miss class. He was always on time in classes. But that 6 pointer guy missed many classes, was seldom on time but he watched the nature. He observed the being. He broke the rules of society. Then society will penalize you. Jesus was also penalized in the similar manner. They will give you low grade. GPA is given by society. Not by GOD. Infact, number is creation of society. God doesn't create numbers. He creates just pure existence. Society needs love. Love can bind people. Look at children. They don't know much. But they are happy. You know a lot, you are unhappy. Your knowledge increase your ego. I have seen many knowledgeous people. They know the things. But it's just mechanical. They know, but they dont feel. They have some perception of the nature. A perception made from periphery. Not from centre. They try to gather as much information as they can. They know bits and pieces of many things. But nothing in total. Whosoever said "Little knowledge is dangerous" was a genious. Your knowledge brings you a prejudice. It completely change your attitude. The problem is everyone thinks that I am the best knower. I like Japanease culture. In Jaapan, in a group of people everyone thinks that I am the least important here. But that everyone thinks. In India, everyone thinks, I am the most important here. That makes difference.
