The future of human race

All the talks, theories, principles work in a context. Without a context it will not have any meaning. I was thinking on the importance of knowledge. Do we need to acquire knowledge? Contextually, yes. Say, I want to go from my home to my office. Then, I must know the ways. The routes. The buses, etc. So, the knowledge is definitely required in order to go from my home to my office. There is no second thought about it. But, going to office is a need, so I need knowledge of the routes. That means "need creates knowledge". Whosoever had said "necessity is the mother of invention" must be a genius. If Albert Einstein is genius, then that must be the demand of the society at that time. Why there was no Einstein in the Jesus time. If the society doesn't need intelligence for it's execution, intelligent people will not be produced. This is very simple. Not a matter of surprise that Shakespeare was in the 16th century.

This post was incomplete. Completing it now.

What is the relationship between intelligence and knowledge? Intelligence is born out of this moment. Knowledge is a kind of history. Something, you've done in the past, so you know about it. Knowledge is essentially a memorable experience in that past. Intelligence go on with the present moment. Out of present moment intelligence arise. Like a child. Child doesn't carry any past, no imagination of future. Just this moment. Word "intelligence" is corrupted now-a-days. Normally, the more educational qualification you have, the more intelligent you are termed. That's not true. I bet none of your action is yours. It's all programmed by the society. None of your thoughts is actually yours. It comes from society. Society has made you to think like the way you think, thinking that it's your thinking. But actually, it's thinking of the society. A massive programming has been done in you. This is the trick of the society to create slaves.

Think about computers. What is happening? We are putting so much of intelligence in the computer. Why? Because we don't want to carry our own intelligence. So, we are making computer intelligent. Instead of we remembering our tasks, computers do it. So, definitely we want to get rid of carrying our own intelligence. Why so much of automation? A day will come when human intelligence will not be needed. Everything will be fully automated. And machine intelligence will overpower human intelligence. However, human has consciousness which machine doesn't. Computer has no fears, no worry, no future, no sorrow, no kids but human has all of them. You know exactly what - we have become like a machine less efficient than machines. Kasparov, the best brain in the chess lost to Deep Blue, a computer program made by IBM. What is the future of human intelligence? Medical science is going to develop too much. It will become the most advanced engineering on the earth. Bio scientist are working on genetic level. Which somehow allow them to alter human behavior. I don't know how, but they do. By doing some programming in DNA. Fate of humans lies into the development of computer engineering and medical engineering. On one side the computers are taking away all the intelligence humans possess, and on the other side medical science is going to alter human behavior in any way they want. This extremely dramatic situation puts a strong question mark on the existence of human. What will you do when computer engineering and medical engineering will converge? What will be your identity? How will you be described? Trust me you would be hardly left with anything. Because everything will be programmed. The world will be full of machines. Even human beings will be also reduced to machines with minimum programmed functionality. Constraints will start tightening from many directions and human race would behave extremely erratic leading to war. So, it's extremely essential that our consciousness which is unaltered by any engineering must rise in proportion with all the scientific development.

My Commandments

Following are the few commandments I would like to put in black and white.

1. Freedom of thoughts. Absolutely free.

2. Like a mirror - whatever is there, is reflected. When not there, not reflected. Non-pretending.

3. Stop and see. When see, see.

4. Effortlessness. Hard but gently.

5. Awareness

6. Completeness in the present moment. Fun, Laughter and Enjoy.

7. At the end, transcend - even commandments.

Hmmm

Seven months and no words. I was thinking to write but there was nothing to write at many instances. Perhaps whatever I wanted to write, wrote. If I write more, i'll be just repeating in another innovative fashion. That is the reason I consider most innovative innovations as just elegant repetitions. However, as time passes experiences gathers. Which can scribbled.

These days I am realizing that no matter how much knowledge of philosophy you have, no matter how much understanding of the truth you have you would always need a support. A strong beam of support on which you can rest upon. I am talking of Bhakti. I am not trying to put a point here. Truth is not a matter of point, not a matter of sense. It has been long since I had stopped making a point, a sense. I am really bored of it. I don't know why my consciousness always goes to the root. I can't think anything except the root. The origin. And at the root mind stops. Mind cannot function at the root.

Had made a video uploaded at youtube. I am making more videos and will be uploading at youtube. Keep your eyes on this blog. More more but later...Shubh

The continuty of the truth

One of the most fundamental nature of truth is "continuity". It's continuous nature. Truth is continuous. Because, it has always existed. There was no time when there was no truth. There will not be any time, without any truth. That is one reason which makes it difficult to achieve. Because, it's continuous. A continuous flow of time exists. A continuous flow of space exists. Go to outside and just look at the sky. What a beauty!!. What a continuous space! Whatever god created, it's amazing. Spectacular beauty. Whatever man created, is pathetic. The diminishing beauty. Look at any creation of God. Moon, Sun and stars...What a beauty. What a pattern. There is a harmony in god's creation. The sun rises in the east every morning. The sun never forgets to do that. We don't realize it. Because, it happens daily. We take it granted, that it will anyway happen. But according to me, it's a miracle. How does the sun knows that it has to rise again tomorrow morning? Where is that underlying consciousness inside sun? It's good to treat the whole universe as a being which has it's own brain/mind/consciousness. Look around you. Everything is a miracle. It's happening by itself. We cant see that because we have become addicted to it. Addicted people cannot recognize miracle. Even an ant is a miracle. A small creature can walk. Can decide up to some extent. Put an obstacle into the ant's path and ant will stop moving, or will change the direction. It's a miracle. How does the ant know that it has to do that? In different different form Truth has appeared. It was impossible but it has become possible. Go watch trees, the birds, mountains, forests - you can see the whole of divine present right there. Because, it is present everywhere every time. That's the beauty of it - Truth is beautiful and easy.

Note the word continuous. It's a beautiful word. Because, there is no break in it. A continuous flow. A continuous flow of a river. The water was flowing and is still flowing...It got a continuity. The continuous flow of the water. Now apply it to the truth. You might feel like attaining the truth. But it may be momentarily. At some point of time, you might know the truth. But the very next moment you may not know that. Because, there is possibility of loosing it. Because, truth unless achieved completely is discontinuous in the nature. That discontinuity is the biggest problem to the humanity. On a certain day you might feel very elated, very enlightened. But some another day you may not feel that. This happens. This happens very frequently. If you plot the graph of the degree of attained truth it will be sinusoidal. You might digitize it to make it discontinuous. Buddha's graph of his enlightenment will be a horizontal line. Because, it has reach to it's maximum. Now it won't go down. Just remains horizontal. So after certain threshold, there is not chance of falling. No chance of discontinuity. Truth will be continuous for you only when you achieve it by 100%. Otherwise it's discontinuous. Highly discontinuous. I would say randomly discontinuous. So, achieve it fully. Then only you know it.

The path of enlightenment

There are many paths. But the destination is same. This is in layman's term - when you need a path. A milestone. A journey...A voyage. However, someone can simply transcend it. At the end, to transcend is the only way. Transcend to the extent that nothing is left to transcend. Look at the history. How it originated. Moment by moment the future is converted into the past. I've lived moment by moment. Second by second. First second goes...I see it...then second second goes I witness and then third second goes I witness it and it continues indefinitely....This is the point of knowledge. An observation. An acute observation. To you it might appear as an stupidity. It has to appear like a stupidity. That's how the society has evolved. The society is least worry about the evolution of human consciousness. To society, future is the most important. We all work for better future. Don't' we? We do. All our endeavor leads towards the making of a better future. A better place. That's the reason we have so many stories, so many dreams starts with "One Day". Society has only shown us a dream. Our happiness lies into the future which doesn't exist. Remember this present was future in the past and if we are not happy now that means the dream in the past was wrong. That makes this very present moment wrong because present moment was the future in the past. That further means that every moment is something wrong. So the assumption that happiness lies the future itself is a bullshit concept. But when you say happiness lies in the present moment. It makes absolute sense. This is what is the final reality. And present moment happens by itself. It's a pure flow. There is no scope of contamination in the present moment. Because, it's continuously changing. The moment you try to contaminate it, it becomes history. And history is dead. Absolutely dead. There is absolutely no way out to change the history. No scientist can do that. However time exists in multi-dimensional form. It can be changed in some other dimension. Possible. But makes no difference to reality. And if you go even more deep...all problem simply disappears. So very fundamentally, problems do not exist. However, it does exist at the non-fundamental level. Buddha's first statement was - "there are problems". Actually he is referring to the problems at the non-fundamental level of existence. Secondly he says - "there are reason behind problems". Again he is referring to non-fundamental reasons. The moment you know the root. All problems vanish. This is what he is trying to say. He took 6 years to understand this. But, then he understood that, that was momentarily. Suppose you are going from Bangalore to kolkata. It makes 2.5 hours to reach Kolkata. But the moment you landing kolkata will be momentarily. That will be instantaneous. In a second it will happen. However, it took 2.5 hours of time to reach kolkata. But you landed at Kolkata at very particular instant. That instant is important. This is what happened with Buddha on his day of enlightenment. If you do what Buddha did just before his enlightenment. You will be enlightened too. Because, that's when he is landing into the infinite. That's the reason I say - At the transition, simply transcend. If you copy Buddha for 6 years. You may not achieve his level. But of you just copy what he did on his day of enlightenment - there is high chance of achieving good spiritual status. And above all it has to be simple. Truth has to be simple and beautiful. And easy also. Of course on the cost of evolved consciousness. Nature has a plan. It goes by it's plan. Don't interfere nature's plan. In Gee ta Krishna says - "Work but don't worry about fruit". Now this is great statement. Perhaps one of the best every observed by humanity. what it means essentially is that nature is Infinite. That's why you don't worry. Only finite things would cause worry. So, moment you start realizing your surrounding as part of that infinite you would be free from Karma and that's when you don't worry about it. You have to be free from Karma. Then only you cannot worry about it. And you can be free if it is not your Karma. So if you assume that it's Karma of nature - you needn't to worry. And actually that's how it is. Nature has evolved in such a manner that it will do Karma for it's survival. Karma has never stopped. But that is the demand of nature. That's the very fundamental nature of the nature. You have nothing to do in that. Karma just happen because of fundamental property of the nature. You as a free soul have no stake in that. So what do you do in this case. As Krishna says - Don't worry about fruit. How can you don't worry about fruit - Just observe. Just witness. That is the fundamental philosophy of Karma.

Married

It has been long, really long since I wrote last blog. The news to share is that I am married :) I got married to Arundhati on 6th May 2009 at Jamshedpur. We knew each other for more than 3 years. We got engaged on 10 December 2008. There are so many things to write down. I don't know where to start and where to end...Baarat departed from Muzaffarpur to Jamshedpur. We had all the fun all along the way. Met with so many relatives. Staying 7 days on her home was real-real-real fun. Especially in a ritual called Dhakan chori. In that they hide Dhakan somewhere and I had to search them. Thanks to so many Saalis and Saasu ma to help me out some couple of times :-) At muzaffarpur she had to listen some abusive language as a part of ritual which she didn't like at all. Stayed 4 days at Muzaffarpur. Then our journey started towards moutains, forests, hills....darjeeling and Gangtok. Gangtok was better than Darjeeling, played with snow. And most important spent time together :) Then went to KGP also to refresh my memories. Then finally way back to bangalore... Will write more sometime later
