I have always wondered about this creation. How magical it
is? Though this magic is only at the surface level on which most people survive.
But still it is unbelievable. Look at the laws on which this world functions. Not
only this world, but the whole universe. Some scientists have found out certain
laws in which this creation was created. Some laws only though, not all. For if
all gets fathomed, every thing gets fathomed. Then human will be god. Artificial
sense of god will vanish. No fear will remain. Human will transcend to new
reality.
But this looks far fetched. Today man is as miserable as he
was before, the advent of western sciences. In fact, if facts to be taken,
today man is more depressed than before. He suffers more. He dies out of
depression and commits suicide if his lover leaves him. So fragile has man
become. This fragility has come through long struggles of devolution. Yes, its
devolution and not evolution.
Many believe that today man is at a very advanced stage and
has come a long way in advancement. It has more gadgets and many things happen
just by touching a button. Such is the advancement that man has created
artificial intelligence. Robots can now think for themselves and for humans
just because man’s intellect made it possible. Its certainly true.
However some facts counter this. It was said that long
before writing was introduced, teachings were orally imparted. Students directly
learnt from their master’s mouth. No point in writing it down. No revision. Direct
one time study.
There are evidences pointing to the possibility of a nuclear
war during ancient times. Of course we know about the massive killing abilities
of the warriors of Mahabharata. The weapons those warriors have may be still
greater than we have today. Those are – various astras like brahmastra,
pashupatastra, etc. the weapons of sarpas, etc. those warriors used to do
significant tapas and acquire such weapons which they could use at will. This action
seems impossible today and only can be categorized as myth and legend.
Anyways whatever may be the case, one important thing to
remember is that man has certainly degraded in the sense that it uses more of
its intellect part (not intelligence, which is a higher realm), of the mind in
a non harmonious way with emotional and sexual thoughts tearing that intellect
away into different directions.
Using of intellect more and more is the measure of higher
being in today’s day and age. Why this is a problem that we will understand in
the upcoming write-up. Till then take this thought for consideration and brood
over it for some time. What are the alternatives of intellect? Does only intellect
makes up intelligence? Difference between intellect and intelligence? What is
intuition?
