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.

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।

Time and Love

Time passes by Like moving in a train of thoughts Its sequence is always forward Vibrating like a cosmic dance of Shiva Time is creating and engulfing The little waves of the ocean Going where? Nobody knows Like a dream does not have a destination It is as true as any absurd play With friends of pleasure It moves like speed of light With friends of need It is felt like a moving river Allowing a little moments of thoughts Before everything becomes a history With friends of virtue Time becomes a sublime touch Soothing and healing the pain Becoming a spectator To watch the cries and follies Beauty and ugliness The rainbow of joy And an album of suffering Time touches Yet it remains aloof Like Purush is witnessing The colours of prakriti Yet remains unblemished And untouched The union of two is always mystical Their touch is a source Of creation and transformation Time is witnessing everything In its sequential movements Who is witnessing time? What is independent of the originatio...

Dreamer

Empty is mirror, Yet it reflects what is. Chit is absolute abyss, Yet it contains the existence, Like unending horizons of sky. Chit in bond with manas, Creates and witnesses, The playful dance of life. Shunyata is the absolute truth, Yet it is all of the possible worlds. Out of its voidness, World appears and disappears. Is it real or unreal? Or merely the Dream, Of all the possible dreams? If it is the case, Who is dreaming, the dreams of all? The One, the Cosmos. What if the One is also a figment of imagination? What if the world is a poetic creation? And the Poet has deployed itself, In every form of poetry? The poetry of life. What if only bhokta is bhojan? Only observer is observed? Only worshiper is worshipped? Only subject is object? All are the waves of same Ocean.
