ESSENTIAL PRACTICES OF RELIGION: THEOLOGY, RATIONALITY, AND FOLKS WISDOM


What is essence? A perceptual faith, a transitory imagination; a short sighted creation; a static wisdom; a rotten fruit. Nothing exists for permanency; nothing remains evergreen.The old wisdom has been that nothing qualifies as knowledge unless it frees. How does essentialization make a phenomenon free at its sublety? Essentialist vision of life is the chain, which needs to be set free.

In pre-modern society, essentialism was the process of fine guess. In modern society, it was used to rationalize in need of stability, order, and security. In post-modern era, a chain of tribalism has encaged, what has hitherto been the universalized myth of Equality, Liberty, and Fraternity. Nothing changed except a myth of 'no truth' became fashionable.

The origin and growth of human made laws were inspired with the cosmic order, a Hobbesian myth of power-jurisprudence, the Leviathan, was a rationale-legal God; the essence of all the essence, prisoned all the futuristic imaginations except, the Right Jurisprudence. Right in its particular direction swallowed up, each and every orientation of life; flourishing in need and desire of a particular human condition. To find an essential practice of religion, which was celebrated and practiced in past; and to re-impose it here and now,  without any glimpse of change; is nothing but a slavery to the dialectical imagination (here I'm referring Hegel, The Philosophy of Right). And for Supreme Court comes forward in a role of fine theologian, in defence of secularism vis-a-vis Constitutional morality, without letting a culture to grow in its unique best! For many secualrist writers create a fashionable song of progressivism without paying the heed to the folks- wisdom. For no custom is meant to remain the same; let it grow in flux of time and in uniqueness of space. For wisdom is not missing in folks; it is absent in juris-generation.

Imagination

Student: I want to excel in my life. Over the years, my graph of success is achieving a new height. I am doing hard work to become one of the smartest and richest persons on the Earth. Teacher: Wonderful! Who is  achiever and what is achieved? Student: I am the achiever. My name and fame are shining day by day.  Teacher: Who is this ‘I’? What is the material by which it is produced? Student: I is the ego which is the agent achieving successes and facing failures. Teacher: Whether ego is real or imaginary?

What is the stuff by which these images are made of? Who is maker and what is made? Student: They ar...

पिरोता जाऊँ एक माला ज़िन्दगी का

पढ़ता हूँ हर एक दिन एक ही पन्ना, हर दिन हज़ार ये मालूम पड़ते हैं। जबसे होश संभाला है एक ही पन्ना सवांरते आया हूँ, लोग इसे ज़िन्दगी कहते हैं। इसपे लिखे हर एक लब्ज़ जो मेरे मालूम पड़ते हैं, ना जाने कितने जुबां पे चढ़े होंगे। आज हम भी कुछ पल के लिए ही सही इसके सारथी हैं, जाने से पहले कुछ रंग मेरा भी इसपे चढ़ जाए, बस इसीलिए एक ही पन्ना बार बार पलटता रहता हूँ। हर कोई अनजाने किताब की तलाश में बाहर निकलता है, जिसका हर एक पन्ना वो ख़ुद है। जब ख़ुद के रंग को समझ ही ना पाया, तो भला इंद्रधनुषी किताब के क्या मायने हैं? अस्तित्व में ना जाने कितने पन्ने बिखरे पड़े हैं, बस एक से ही अवगत हो जाऊँ, उसके हर एक शब्द को चुनता जाऊँ, कुछ पल के लिये सही, पिरोता जाऊँ एक माला ज़िन्दगी का।

Human's Rationality: Its Unfree-Freedoms

Cosmic energy is moving into various forms and patterns, its quest is to become, what Arthur Schopenhauer called 'will to live'.  (Arthur Schopenhauer, 1818). He is explicit that: “Thus the will to live everywhere preys upon itself, and in different forms is its own nourishment, till finally the human race, because it subdues all the others, regards nature as a manufactory for its own use. Yet even the human race...reveals in itself with most terrible distinctness this conflict, this variance of the will with itself…”. Every ‘will to become' is a movement, encompassing the history of past and future; the degree of rationality and its gradation are normativized by thoughts as hierarchy of souls and monads. Human being as likeness and image of God possess the highest truth, indeed! In fact, human being is the only species who possess and owns the truth, it is the only mode of being who puts truth at stake, constructs its horizons and claim of legitimacy and illegitimacy, defi...
