Reaping and Sowing.

When Jesus Christ said, "As you sow, so shall you reap", perhaps, he was meaning, that the consequence of ones actions is not a bad thing. In life, according to my opinion, we are always reaping, and always sowing, due to our continuous action, which also includes thought. We can reconcile to our sowing, but we normally have an aversion, sometimes, to our reaping. If we can somehow, reconcile ourselves to our reaping, this world can yet become an Eden, for ourselves, and for the rest of humanity. Perhaps, the Divine Celestial Message of the Bhagwad Gita also alludes to the same, when it says, "To the action one has the right, but not to the fruit thereafter." All action in this world, is the work of God. Before we commit an action, we have no power over it. Hence, we have no power over the result of the action. Jesus Christ perhaps took the path of action he did, to bring this message to the notice of all. If we can reconcile ourselves to the negative we see in the fruit of our actions, in good grace, we may perhaps, become more fruitful, and learn to be positive about the fruit, we get.

Warfare Over The Ages.

The old adage, "all's fair in love and war", seems to be the overriding point of view of military commanders in the past. The fact is, war's were ended, when one or more parties, engaged in war, were convinced, about the futility of war. Wars were not wiped out, because, the victors were not convinced of the futility of war. The victors eventually, became the ones who also lost wars, and so history is being repeated. The overriding concern of military commanders, has been, in the past, to demoralize the enemy, not to make them see the victors point of view. The debacle the Japanese faced in World War Two, was because they were faced with the possibility, of a large portion of their population being wiped out, due to the invention of nuclear weapons. The possibility, of a current Nuclear armed country, having a civilian leadership, alike that of Japan during the Second World War, in the future, is a clear and present danger, in my opinion. Wars are not an end to themselves, nor is the apprehension of an aggression by a stronger military power, the end of the desire for military armed experimentation. Parties, who see the military might of the enemy, may fight to their own extinction. This is not a danger, but in possibility, may be a reality, in the present. If the idea mentioned above, has been thought out, it will remain as an option in the minds of all, who are engaged in conflict in the future. It is in the interests of the stronger powers, on the globe, to recognize the futility of war, and to facilitate the complete absence of war, to eliminate a certain future catastrophe, which will occur otherwise, and which will wipe out warfare from the face of the Earth.

The Dilemma of Militancy.

The website India Defense, writes about the problem of militancy along the border of India and Bangladesh. This is indeed a cause for a new line of thought, to tackle the dilemma. For the time being, perhaps we must not engage the militants, in talks. However, we must foster indications of our good intentions, and good wishes, towards all nations of the world. We must strive to improve the standing of our good intentions, towards the people, who are not involved in militancy, through good works in their benefit. The relations between different communities must be improved and all avenues must be explored. God did not make the different communities, to foster hate, but for the different communities to admire, and appreciate, their differences. The militants should not be engaged in dialogue if they do not so desire, but all attempts should be made for them to desire dialogue and reconciliation, with their brothers, in India, and around the World. The mechanism of the state, must operate, meanwhile, as it must do with all entities it interacts with, normally. The powers that be must keep in mind , during such interaction, that there is no right and wrong, only what is appropriate, because human beings are never right, nor wrong, until judged by God.

Change and Changelessness.

In our everyday life, we are much like chameleons. I refer not to myself, but to the differing ways, I view others. For example, one may get angry, with one whom one loves. Now, the person is the same, but we think of the person as lovable or not at different times. How is the human being at ease with his own fickleness? He sees fickleness, not in himself, but in other people's relationships, with himself. There is nothing in this world, which we have observed, as not changing, be it a leaf, or a human being. We yet long for stability, and changelessness. Why? Is this the dream of the Chimera? Perhaps, we see change in others, and then we change, ourselves. Which means, nothing changes. The Chimera imagines his surroundings, and then, he imagines himself, in respect to his surroundings, and then his surroundings, in respect to himself, and so it goes on. When we see ourselves helpless in a situation, that is because, we have also changed, with the previous situation. However, it is the same person we loved, our brother, who annoys us now. What changed? Because we cannot say, nothing has. We become older, because we see the world, becoming younger, and older, and accept the change. In Hinduism, there is no concept, of a permanent Heaven. However, there is a concept of an everlasting Heaven in Judaism(i presume), Christianity, and Islam. This is a wonderful, and good, concept. However, one must be on guard, because, if one sees differences in different good works, one may also see difference in good, and bad. We risk, in this differentiation, in making Heaven, into a hell. Hence, the concept, not of good, nor bad, neither of happiness, nor unhappiness, is required, but the concept of Peace, which is the concept of Heaven, is so required. Peace is greater than happiness, and good, it is in fact, an evolved form of happiness.

How I perceive the senses work.

When my sight, is the primary input, for my perception, all my other senses, want to subjugate themselves, to my sight. For example, if I see something, I like, I will automatically like, the smell, of what I see, the touch, etc. When people, find a conflict, in their perception, due to the senses, then they get mentally, and emotionally distressed. For example, if I like what I see, but do not like the smell of what I see, then doubts appear in the mind. In Hinduism, such a human being, may be implied to be called 'Free'. He may have powers of observation, and assimilation, which others may not have developed. In the previous example, the conflict is at the same instant. Usually, we all have conflicts. For example, we smell something we like, then afterwards, we dislike what we smelt, because, we do not agree, that we like it's feel. Hence, we can say, that life dependent on the senses, is unsatisfactory, and contradictory.
