Can you imagine in a living- world where there are absolutely no traces of truth : in the house, in the office, in the market; between spouses, friends, colleagues and even among children and spiritual class of men ?
No, it cannot happen. Some truth has got to be there in human society for it to function as human.
Whatever be the scale or type, Truth will prevail and conserve human society. From houses to public places, to nations and unto the world stage, Truth will have a definite role to play, provided we seek the ‘Truth’ and keep it up in the earnest human way.
From a layman’s point of view let us look at Truth-what it is?
Truth is produced by ‘regard’ or human perception. Perhaps that is not good enough, though even as mirage is but mistaken through perception for water. Yes, Truth is but like that.
‘Crude Oil’ for example is very dirty and dangerous but a proven basis for material and thus social well being , forcing itself as a truth of existence for the modern civilization,at least by The United States.
World Peace is exclusively available with a ‘regard’ to the impending stockpiles of mass destruction- weaponry ;you and me quite unknowingly quenching our thirst for peace from that situation !
‘Futures and Options’, the unbelievable, speculative trading myth, steering global investment market, is but a truth regarded (or superimposed), inducing people to buy or sell sheer possibilities as if real, in billions of dollars. A huge chunk of the precious manpower-outputs from the leading Institutes of Engineering Technologies and Business schools have already got sucked into ‘futures and options’ ,
consuming more mathematical brains than any other technology market
Futures- trading, in turn, control the crude oil stocks ,of late, making the former a controlling ‘reality’ superseding oil. Anything, one might think of, its truth, in essence, is produced by sheer perception and modeling , the ‘stock market’ always fuelling such perceptions to perishable flames of physical realities.
Persons, societies and even governments are now victims of the perverted human perception or the wrong speculation, swirling themselves into untruthful and selfish ‘global fantasies’ like , portfolios /scrip and real (unreal) estate booms, taking along with it the precious human resources to prop it all up. This has accelerated the depletion of the human resources ( in a physical, mental and spiritual sense ) which was originally meant for productive and reproductive cycles. The ‘Futuristic (or Careerist )Nightmare’ haunts every human psyche in varied degrees, denying them a moment or a chance for ‘sustainable food production’ through efficient ‘human - reproduction ’, a primary variable in the holy formula of natural economics for human survival. Any act without guidance of a higher intelligence is but fanaticism. Are the human beings now self-endangered species at the hands of fanatics?
Such is the promotion and indulgence into the mundane truth by man ,that the disasters he caused for nature in the name of development ,are unsparing like the global warming !
We hardly have any more pure philosophers who are free from the fear of self- survival to predict the best . The future of whatever life and resources in this planet has already been let out for speculative exploitation ?In a larger sense, what is the job for so much of IT here, otherwise?
There is a concerted disregard and distrust for ‘Time’-Present ’ as a basis of hopeful existence in our current culture. .
It is, but ‘The Time factor ’ which has let us out into globalization from the otherwise naturally and truth-fully conducted families, institutes, societies, empires or democracies, quietly uprooting human culture and values, strewing it ,rotting all over the earth. We are all in illusion and fear to regard the ‘Right Truth' for us. Everyone is tricked to think: any thing has a great value, for future !
That is again by the influence of Time itself- nothing else can be regarded as a primeval cause : neither man, nor nations nor ideologies !Modern ‘Truth Machinery’ having failed miserably to decently sustain human world, let us look at from a scriptural perspective, from higher intelligence, what could be The Truth ?
Scripture is clear to say Time is the ultimate creator and maintainer and destroyer of contemporary truths : representing itself some times as gold, as oil , as market gain, as bombs, as an unexpected Tsunami, or the much expected global warming . We have to only take it to Time, rather than flee away from it into futures ,into mental perceptions and illusions defying the guidance from higher intelligence. We can only then achieve a safe and peaceful life- world whatever the country we live and the job we do or the bombs we explode! .
Let us live by the grace of “Time” ...But How?
Kaalo asmi loka kshaya krt.. Time I am, the devourer of the worlds. ” [Bhagavat Gita-11.3],
Krishna tells Arjuna in Bhagavat Gita..that He is The Time, infact.
[This line was deliberately quoted by Julius Robert Oppenheimer (1904-1967) Nuclear physicist, philosopher, developer of the atomic bomb immediately after the first test- blast at Nevada desert, USA. He meant ,it is only time that will decide the total destruction not a bomb.]
“There is no truth superior to me.. Krishna says: ‘matta parataram na anyat kinchind asti dhananjaya..[Bhagavat Gita 7-7].
..but,
I never manifest to the foolish and unintelligent. For them I am covered by My internal (inferior) potency” “Na aham prakasa sarvasya yogmaya samavrtaha.[Bhagavat Gita 7-25]
.. Whereas ..
“by surrendering unto to Me only ( being the Absolute Truth) they cross over this ocean of maya-ignorance
Mam evaye prapadyante mayam etam taranti te.”[Bhagavat Gita 7-14]
How to surrender ?
Dadami budhi yogam tam yena mam upayanti te.[Bhagavat Gita 10.10]
To them, I give myself the necessary intelligence, with which they come to me.
Thus we go to Krishna.
Even as we surrender, Krishna in Paramatma form is always present in our pure hearts purified by chanting his Holy Names .But in His Temple where a lot many more such pure hearts assemble He presides over there for ever.
Let us therefore ,assist to build temples for such ‘pure hearts’ to assemble, to collectively regard, feel and distribute the sweetness in the ‘timelessness’ of Krishna, being that the true conclusion of Vedic wisdom inherited by a truly incredible India .
When we invest in deposits and mutual funds recklessly, we should also remember that we are denying for our children and grand children a natural society thus to grow and live truthfully, spiritually and also healthily as a human!
It is our prime duty (svadharma )to offer them the benefits of HIGHER INTELIGENCE, some how.
