POSSIBILITY IS HOLIER THAN PROBABILITY

“If I had done it like that…”, “If I had acted that way…”, “Only if I had ignored it just like that…”, “If I had not declined that marriage proposal…”, “If I had been a surgeon instead of being a lawyer…”  etc. are conglomerates of stray, rather futile thoughts that constantly agonise us by clogging our highly capable imaginative minds. Quite interestingly, such bizarre extrapolations into past seldom lead to questions like “If I had not been born at all…” !!! “Was our past governed by some sort of deterministic doctrine ? Is it possible, are we capable to alter our present and future ?” are yet another set of questions that often disrupt our peace of mind. Quite disconcertingly, most of these extrapolations into past pertain to setbacks / tragedies / losses etc. Hardly ever it moves on optimistic lines, “If I had adopted that strategy, I would become President of USA instead of President of Bharata…” !! Mental recklessness has no limits, indeed. 

Our approach to past certainly influences then determines our approach to present and future. If the sentimental baggage attached to past is too heavy, our self-esteem shall not be able to accompany our present or craft our future pragmatically owing to the simple fact, self-esteem is constantly under corrosion wrought by the baggage. Worst follows when you succeed in convincing yourself, you had been root-cause of all those setbacks / tragedies. Then even your self-esteem or whatever is left out of it, is unable to prevent you from your transformation into becoming a cynic / sceptic or even hedonistic. Self-pity and self-criticism automatically creep into this cynicism and the flame of miseries fans high into the sky. Are we really then inclined to fix the problem ?  

All such “Ifs” and “Buts” of past ought to be perceived stoically, utterly unattached and indifferently irrespective of range, extent and intensity. Every incident in life whether unsavoury or palatable must be viewed as merely one among so many in one’s life. Instead of striving to revive a corpse by reacting to past “Ifs” and “Buts”, viable proposition is to weed out all unsavoury reminiscences. If one is not resolute enough to achieve that, such memories may be allowed in, allowed to remain idle therein albeit dis-allowing oneself to react to all that or invoke that as a measure of some measuring scale to assess oneself or even as preposterous convictions that restrict our freedom to evolve and grow. Past events must never be empowered to influence present lest one’s growth and development are stymied. As a matter of strange reality, our lives are absolutely devoid of problems as Isvara  never created problems for us. All our so-called “Problems” are our own sheer brain-waves. If we just re-fashion frequency of our brain-waves in terms of Mega Hertz, every problem is transformed into a golden opportunity !!  

So far, we focused on “Ifs” and “Buts” emerging within ourselves. What about “Ifs” and “Buts” being constantly and compulsorily gifted to us by our friends and relatives ? We expect everyone else to possess a certain set of perceptions about us and if it is not like that, interactions go haywire because our ego is bruised. This ego is essentially a database of perceptions that we expect others to have about us and what we have about others as well as our stale, worthless memories. It is susceptible to vacillations leading to approval / appreciation / recognition seekeing attitude. Self-Consciousness is far away from this ‘databased’ ego, an ego that only knows to react while Self-Consciousness propels us to transcend what others say about us as well as what we expect others to say about us. We need not be contemptuous towards other’s views however, that ought not be allowed to be the prime source of motivation in our lives. Also, we must be discriminatively aware of, how much significance is to be conceded to which perception and why. We must be in complete command of our lives as a measure of our inalienable right of individuals according to our legitimate and democratic inclinations guided by the “moral compass” that we all possess. Our relatives, friends and lives they lead are ends in themselves and none of us is means by which the other may lead a surrogate life anyway.       

Since every dream is possible irrespective of past and every event is consequential to a conglomerate of complex factors mostly unpredictable and uncontrollable, we must groom ourselves into a “Possibility Dreamer / Thinker”. Such a dreamer imbued with self-confidence, moves ahead with a vision in his / her eyes only to realise the dream sooner than later. On the contrary, a “Probability Thinker” is essentially a sceptic who is perpetually engaged in his / her mind visualising obstacles on the way and calculating (statistical !!) probability of coming to a naught !! Thus, a “Probability Thinker” inevitably comes to a naught !!          

 

 

 

WITH ADVAITA BEING THE SUPREME ULTIMATE, IS DVAITA RELEVANT ??

Param Brahmatma  is the Ultimate and Supreme Being, being the Know-All and Can-Do-All. He is the ultimate and original plurality / diversity-potent Entity privileged with the absolute liberty to manifest or reject manifestation with manifestation being just one of the infinite number of possibilities. He may access anything with absolutely no cap on range and extent of manifestation at all. Mystical question then arises, “How does Param Brahma  perceive Himself when everything is He, Himself alone with no dichotomy at all ? As only a perceiver is capable of perceiving the perceptible, how can He perceive Himself being perceiver and perceived both, Himself ?” And also the mystical question, “Why should He aspire to perceive Himself ?” Let us attempt to answer all such intellectually / spiritually nagging queries systematically one by one with the last one, being first.

Why should Param Brahma  aspire to perceive / cognise Himself ? And why not ? Why should not an absolute entity constituted of entire conceivable, cognisable and available consciousness, aspire to cognize itself ? It will, by all means. When the Absolute Entity aspires to cognize Himself, He submits Himself and His faculty of Advaita  i.e. Monism to the phenomenon of fractionation through cleavage into a perceiver and the perceived. It is the single fertilized egg called Zygote that cleaves and re-cleaves to become an organism. Similarly, a negligible fraction of Param Brahma’s Cetana  cleaved / re-cleaved / aggregated / segregated / conglomerated / transformed / evolved into innumerable creations, an illusion of Dvaita  only to be able to perceive / cognize Himself. That’s precisely the reason why Dvaita  is eternally relevant. Though Advaita  can and does exist without Dvaita, it is impossible to be attained to Advaita  directly. Cosmic passage to Advaita  invariably passes through Dvaita  i.e. a long journey of Sadhana  and Adhyatmika  pursuits. Once attained to Advaita  and Supreme Bliss, Dvaita  certainly is rendered irrelevant as all pursuits of Jnana-/ Bhakti– and Karma–Yoga  are no more required. 

For such a self-cognition, one grand creation ought to / might have been sufficient. Then why so many, always / eternally innumerable creations ?? Well, an artist enjoys creating creations. No artist may ever cease to create so long as faculty to create persists in his / her being. So is Param Brahma. He is the greatest artist transcending entire past, present and future of the entire cosmos. His creativity is eternal just as the aspiration to Self-cognise / Self-perceive may be infinite and eternal. He commenced creating very simple creatures in the beginning, then moved onto creating very complex and beautiful entities. His faculty of creation is so mystical, so enigmatic that he created innumerable loci of potential Self-cognition !! Then He expected all such loci to search for the One purported to be enabled by them for the grand ultimate Self-cognition without being able to cognize it initially !! No sooner do these innumerable loci perceive, deliberately and sportingly strayed out by the Absolute Being, they are impatient rather desperate to revert into the Supreme Being once again. These innumerable “loci” of consciousness are also privileged with considerable degree of autonomy to enable them appear independent in spite of being mere reflections of the Supreme Consciousness that Param Brahmatma  is. Scores of terminals connected to a supercomputer too function independently even though they derive their independence from the supercomputer alone !! That is precisely the equation between innumerable Jivatma-s and Param Brahmatma. And they eternally remain / exist under the custodianship of Param Brahmatma. Just as Big-Bang causes drifting away of galaxies infinitely till a critical juncture after which they revert into the Cosmic Sunya, Jivatma-s too revert into the Supreme Abode when zest for life turns blasé after several cycles of temporal dreams, joy of achievements, tragedy of deaths, sacrifices or even a treachery of a traitor, all trials and tribulations are just unable to agitate them a bit. When Jivatma  is resolutely unperturbed, Param Brahmatma  no more enjoys Karma-s of such a Jivatma, then the Jivatma  is retired into the pavilion of Moksa. Sense of egoic individuality, essentially consciousness of a lower order, then expands unto Universality and that is the ultimate redemption. It is a transmigration of the Alone to the Supreme Alone, both in solitude and the cosmic journey being absolutely solo. It is a tremendous attainment that is impossible to attain by proxy.   

How exactly innumerable beings are differentiated and recognized individually with the cosmic being of the Absolute Being ?? Instrumentalities happen to be Ahamkara, Buddhi, Mana, Kala, Panca Mahabhuta-s etc., that too, being manifestation of Cetana  that is impossible to fractionate or fragment. Cetana, essentially energy, can be fragmented and fractionated only after it transforms into mass, then into various forms of life and the universe. As the illusory segregation of Cetana  undergoes proliferation, an illusory spatio-temporal i.e. Space-Time Grid is created. These constituents bring about various orders / levels of Cetana  that impel beings to act variously and accept consequences thereof too, to nullify their actions, to become pure again…and all these constitute a mysticism of Karma-s of an exquisite order, a wonderful source of not only Self-cognition for the Param Brahma  but also Self-entertainment too !!! This game is over only when the being perceives being a mere a toy in cosmic hands of Param Brahma  and the being has no other abode to rest except Param Brahma  Himself. In this cosmic game, intensity of Ahamkara  is directly proportional to the cosmic distance between the being and Param Brahma. Hence, the cosmic message is explicit – Fascination for the physical world is as absurd / ludicrous as your right hand telling you, “I do everything, every work. What do you do, you fool ?” or your eyes obsessed with your own beautiful face !!!!!

 

DRAGONS SPEW ONLY FIRE AND VENOM

Imbued with Communist ideology, Dragon’s territorial ambitions have always been insatiable. Right since inception of Mao Tse Tung as the Communist dictator of China, expansionism has been a favourite core-competence of their foreign policy. Be it Aksai Chin, Arunachala Pradesh or Bharata-Bhutan-China trijunction at Sikkim borders, tale of territorial high-handedness is the same. The worst was when entire Tibet was annexed in 1960s and the then Dalai Lama had to flee Tibet seeking refuge in Dharmasala. Since then, Tibetans have been dwelling like refugees all over agitating world opinion in favour of their independent homeland.

It is not just Bharata or Bhutan alone that have been singed and suffered at the hands of Dragon’s venom and fire. Central Asian countries viz. Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan, South-east Asian countries viz. Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, East Asian countries like Taiwan and Japan have been compelled to cough up Dragon’s illegitimate territorial claims or expensive credits with eventual default leading to Dragon’s acquisition of land as well as entire project. Major portion of Kyrgyzstan was ceded to Russia in 19^th century which Dragons claim to be their own now while in case of Tajikistan, historical precedent of Quing Dynasty (1644-1912) constitutes basis of their claim. Nepalese territory dating back to Sino-Nepalese war in 1788 belongs to Tibet, hence that now belongs to China !! Dragons claim entire Myanmar based on some historical precedent of Yuan Dynasty of 1271-1368 period. Same dynasty and same period of history emboldens them to claim, entire South Korea, North Korea, Laos and Mongolia too, belong to them in spite of the fact that the Mongol Genghis Khan had occupied entire China !! Out of Japan, Dragons claim Senkaku and Ryukyu islands just because once upon a time, independent Kingdom of Ryukyu was a vassal state of China. Ming dynasty of 1368-1644 prompts Dragons to claim entire Cambodia too !! China is probably only country in the world having land and maritime border disputes with every other country in their neighbourhood !!! Dragon shares 22,000 Kms. long land border with all 13 nations in their territorial contact i.e. Korea, Russia, Mongolia, Kazakhastan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Bharata, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Laos and Vietnam. Pakistan too, has consanguineous border with them but only through Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. They raised stand-off  with Bharata claiming the trijunction lying at a point near Batang La and Chumbi Valley. Dragons claim that the trijunction lies at Gyemochen on the Zomplri Ridge, around 7.5 Kms. south of Batang La, to bolster their claim over Doklam. Now the real irony lies in the fact that the land belongs to Bhutan having defence pact with Bharata while China do not have diplomatic relations with Bhutan at all and Dragons are telling Bharatiya Army to vacate Chinese land !!!! It is height of absurdity and bullying tactic that Dragons have been pursuing. Latest claim of Galvan Valley followed by intrusion and sanguinary skirmishes is yet another round of their Border-lunacy. 

Bharatiya Army had dealt a severe blow to Dragons in 1967 in Nathu La sector that resulted in death of 400 Chinese soldiers. Nathu La (Sept. 11-14, 1967) and Cho La (Oct. 1, 1967) clashes were a series of clashes between China and Bharata along Sikkim border. In Cho La clash, Chinese troops initiated the scuffle, then infiltrated into Sikkim, claimed the Pass and challenged our positions. Dragons were decisively defeated and humiliated by the brave Bharatiya Army and that happens to be the main reason why no bullet has been fired by them since then betraying their sense of insecurity on use of military prowess in spite of multiple border flare-ups at various locations. Vietnamese Army too, had dealt a severe blow to PLA in 1979 along Sino-Vietnam border merely four years after unification of North and South Vietnams.

Basis of all their territorial claims are utterly preposterous to say the least. These are caused by some “historical precedents” that are at best unsubstantiated or purely mythological too and centuries old. Enormity of Dragon’s high-handedness can be judged from the fact that except Bharata and Bhutan, illegitimate territorial claims with all other neighbours have been settled in their favour alone !!! Unresolved maritime border issues too, are complex with competitive claims of all littoral countries and regional alliances. Dragon has a running maritime dispute with Japan, South Korea, Phillipines, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei, Indonesia and Taiwan too, though they share maritime boundary with just four countries i.e. Japan and South Korea in East China Sea while Philippines and Vietnam in South China Sea !!! South China Sea is the world’s busiest seaway with huge reserves of oil, gas and sea-bed minerals to be exploited. Now again some historical myths / facts come into play and entire South China Sea belongs to China !! China has already been displaying entire SCS in their map confined by nine imaginary dotted lines. As very high commercial stakes of several countries are involved, it appears to be a flashpoint in future for a fierce naval conflict in the region.

Director of Centre For China-US Cooperation at the University of Denver Suisheng Zhao says, “Reconstruction of China’s imperial past to advance the contemporary agenda of its peaceful rise has, ironically, set a 19^th century agenda for 21^st century China – intended to restore the regional hierarchy and maximize security by expanding influence and control over its neighbourhoods.” That really lets the cat out of her bag !! They nurture a hidden dream to dominate the world. And to cover it up well, Xi Jinping goes on to pontificate “the genes order” and “inherited national spirit” determine that “the Chinese nation is a peace loving nation”. That is indeed mind-boggling because their sinister expansionism is motivated by the Chinese “the genes order” !! And their bosom-buddy Pakistan too is an out and out “peace loving nation” indeed !!!!

Several countries have administered tough warnings to Dragons to behave themselves or it may lead to fierce combats. With growing awakening and international camaraderie, no country in the world would accept being bullied by another. North Korea, Pakistan and China are probably the last ‘international bullies’ left in existence. Once Chinese spine is broken decisively, other too may be comfortably disciplined.

BENGAL IS BURNING INTO FLAMES. WHERE ARE FIRE-TENDERS ??

Rabindranath Thakur turned ‘Secular’ Tagore composed once imaginatively –

“Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.”

So retorts Ramakant Tiwari, lamenting in utter despair and disgust –

“Where mind is full of fear, head droops in despair,

Where knowledge is trashed in bin,

Where life is shattered into sobs and fragments,

By ever-flowing rivers of blood,

Where cries of agony echo from depth of miseries,

Where tireless bigot politicians strive to loot and destroy,
Where stream of reason, now an overflowing gutter,

Into the dreary desert sand of fierce riots and butchery,

Where mind is led downward by scallywags,
Into ever-narrowing cauldrons of hell-fire,

From that Hell of Bigotry, my Father, let me escape.”

Bengal has been burning and flames leaping high above into space. “Robindro Shongeet” drowns desperate wails of help and “Rashogollas” sweeten mouth of every rapist. “Poribortan” Didi has turned out to be a devilish despot now eligible to be arrested under National Security Act and imprisoned for life if not hanged to death. Constitution didn’t authorise her to play with life, liberty, security and prosperity of lakhs of natives of Bengal. 

From 1999 to 2002, Shutia in North 24-Paraganas, hardly 60 Kms. away from Kolikata, Sushanta Chowdhary and his gang members unleashed mass rapes and sexual toture of any and every woman they came across anywhere, under protection of Jyoti “Boshu” Government. Nobody dared to file even FIR and mass-rape of all women / girls continued for 3 years. When one young school teacher Barun Biswas finally mustered courage to stand up, action or a semblance of it, was indeed undertaken though Barun Biswas was duly gunned down later. By the way, Bengal is dotted with Shutia-s. Let us go deeper into past. If I correctly remember, it was 1974 when the jam-packed Rabindra Sarovar auditorium in Kolikata holding a cultural programme, was raided and ran-sacked by Leftist butchers. The orgy continued for hours and next morning, heaps of ladies clothes, torn to tatters, were discovered by people all around. It came to be notorious as ‘Rabindra Sarovar Kaand’ later. Nobody knows what action was taken later, whether even FIR was filed at all. 

Will anyone believe today, Bengal has been the land of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Swami Vivekananda, patriots like Dr. SP Mukherjee who sacrificed his life for the sake of nation’s integrity  ?? Will Bengal-Bhadraloka  enlighten me whether nation be proud of Swami Vivekananda, Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyaya, Khudiram Bose or be exceedingly ashamed of Naxalite Charu Mazumdar, Marxist Jyoti Boshu and now Jihadi MamataB ? Why and how is that CPM’s Jyoti Boshu continued ruining Bengal for more than three decades like a marauder while winning elections after elections simultaneously ? Bengal-Bhadraloka  could muster enough enlightenment to defeat the longest serving CPM’s Chief Minister only to opt for AITMC’s MamataB !! From an inferno to a fire-pit !! Why is that Bengal-Bhadraloka  had always been intensely allergic to Hindu-unity in the name of the sham of secularism and inflicted severe wounds upon themselves due to that ? And centuries, generations were wasted away before they could realise root-cause of their miseries !!! It is a mind-boggling enigmatic riddle as to why Hindu is able to appreciate Hindu-unity only after undergoing very long spells of humiliation, brutalities and tortures spanning centuries when only first phase of agonies should have been enough to call that ‘Enough is enough’ !!    

Let us still go deeper into past. Maharashtra Purana of 18^th century narrates annual Maratha raids in Bengal from 1742 to 1751. It’s Maratha poet Gangarama described terror-stricken Bengalis very strangely tolerating terror with not even a semblance of resistance.  

And do you know whom he blamed ? Will you be able to believe that ? Bengalis !!!! 

Thus he described poetically as under – 

“None worshipped Radha-Krishna, filled are they with sin,

Day and night they pleased themselves with other’s women,

All time was spent in lusting and abuse,

No one knew what might happen at any excuse,

Avarice and greed all day and night,

There was no other thought in anybody’s mind,

So great was the burden of sin on Earth,

No longer could she bear such a weight on her girth.” 

So Bhadraloka-bankruptcy / Hilsa-loka profligacy has been a centuries old tradition primarily responsible for destruction of Bengal. Even now, if you condemn CPI(M) / Jyoti “Boshu” in Bengal, you run the risk of being lynched !! And if you condemn “Poribortan” Didi, only Ma Kali  can protect you !!! BJP / RSS members are sneered at as if they belong to stone-age !! If such Bengali Hindu-s of such a Bengal are not tormented by all, then who else would be ? Tragic, indeed. 

Why has Bengal been so wayward a State shunning Sanatana Dharma  for Marxism / Islamism / atheism / secularism while professing concurrently of being intellectual celebrities ?? They have destroyed all their fire-tenders. Is it possible to salvage Bengal ? If yes, when and by whom ??

AT THE STROKE OF MID-NIGHT, BHARATA STRUCK GST

Hon. Prime Minister,

Namo Namaha.

 

 

Mid-night tryst with nation’s status as a developed one was a historic one. I am sure, this tryst shall outshine the first one that fizzled out within no time and the nation was left in tatters, only with the rhetoric to eat, drink and be merry !! It was a long drawn battle spanning three years after your installation as Prime Minister and concluded it to it’s logical end in a most dignified manner by the Finance Minister Arun Jailtley without causing even an iota of friction, attrition or disruption anywhere in the country. There have been a few suffering from acute inferiority complex as well as monumental immaturity who were hell-bent to remain discontented and drew immense satisfaction in boycotting the historic mid-night tryst. There was another set of people to boycott whose loyalties lay somewhere else. They are all pettyfogging people with a miniaturized mind who should never have been in politics at all. I wish them to disappear from the country earliest possible. This mid-night tryst was a tryst of integration and consolidation of the nation from ‘Unity In Diversity’ to ‘Unity In Unity’ alone.

GST is environment friendly too, earning Carbon credits for the country as Octroi Nakas go into oblivion and innumerable trucks save shiploads of diesel / petrol being burned for nothing. This is a tremendous benefit that no one has highlighted in his / her speech. ‘One Nation, One Tax’ is fine but my mind is more focused on ‘One PM With Absolute Majority, One Nation, One Tax’ to reckon with !! That is the real Mantra that is driving Prophets of Doom & Gloom crazy. While I wish them well, I extend my best wishes for the Prime Minister for the auspicious deed.

Three year tenure of your’s so far has been absolutely flawless, not a single issue on which your Government could have been berated in spite of my being exceedingly cruel and ruthless in assessing politicians and declared it so widely in social media on completion of 3 years. I am well aware, I run a serious risk of being derided as being a ‘Modi-Bhakta’ despite the fact that I happen to be an ardent ‘Bharata–Bhakta’, neither ‘Modi–Bhakta’ nor ‘Any other-Bhakta’ !!

Your speaking in national language at the White House standing right next to President Trump was really a heart-warming spectacle. More so was the reference “from Attock to Cuttack”, a clarion call for ‘Akhanda Bharata’ that has to be realized sooner than later.

Two CMs in the country have now transformed themselves into security hazards. They may soon be eligible to be arrested under National Security Act as States under their tutelage are drifting towards complete anarchy and blood-bath all around. Why can’t Centre intervene directly and arrest the downward drift in these two States ? If Hindu-s are going to be persecuted in their own country, that is a very unfortunate situation Mr. Prime Minister. Why should two foreign religions be imposed upon the country in the name of secularism and destroy original Hindu  heritage after demolishing some 3000 temples, vast tracts of land forcibly captured by them from Hindu-s, runaway conversion spree allowed coupled with blatant anti-nationalism ? Why should a foreigner be allowed to head a political party in the country ? Why should donations received in temples be siphoned off to Masjids / Churches ? Remedial action is more than urgent in this regard, Mr. Prime Minister.

Large number of appointments have been done in various responsible positions in favour of those who do not deserve that at all. Affiliations alone are not enough to justify an appointment. Eligibility criteria are of paramount significance and that must not be ignored otherwise it will be more of a degradation than improvement after such people are appointed and installed.

I knew a senior banker, now no more, who dodged every Jagannath Pahadia of Loan-Mela fame by demanding 10 year income-tax history from every Neta who approached him for bank loan with dubious investment proposals !!! If transferred as a consequence, he gladly ever accepted that. Thus he saved crores of public money with banks, going down the drain during his entire career spanning 60s to 80s and enjoyed every complaint against him lodged upto UN Secy.General Dr. Kurt Waldheim !! Your Govt. must hunt for such people for manning crucial positions in Government bodies and allow them to work freely. If you must engage Intelligence Bureau to spot such people, kindly do that. Then, it will be difficult to count number of miracles happening in the country, Mr. Prime Minister and then nobody will know definitions of NPAs / inefficiency / dereliction of duty etc.

 

With best regards,

Ramakant Tiwari
