Questionless Answers: Textual Psycho-Analysis of Post-Ideological Age

Why do we desire to be on top in the presettled hierarchical dreams, enlisted through arbitrary pick and choose among the Universities across the Globe? To be unique, is rather something which is disqualified from the very standard vision of University. India has of course not a single University of Euro-centric standard, such a questioning is a wrong question to raise. Any such a question should be reformulated while taking Indian lives into meticulous consideration. And for that matter, the divorce  of imagination from the globalisation of questions is required? I mean, why do we ask standard questions? Where is a one time question without repitition, encompassing something which is "no standard" from the globalization point of view. Scholars in a post-ideological world have all the answers without an authentic question to raise. It is something like we adjust our questions as per our settled answers. In sense, answers have replaced the very place of questions. And questions which ought to have been raised are repressed through regimented story-telling, which is integral to all feel-good story telling, inherently conceived in the systems of education across the Globe. Here ideology of dreams work in form of projecting and shoping the very dreams of future. Interestingly, present is always a compromised time amidst transionary junction of past and future. Our questions revolve around the historical nostalgia and a utopian time to come, in that sense, present hangs to recover its own identity, its own presence. 

Asking any such question vis-a-vis ranking is like running after a narrative, generated in a pre-dominant mode of production to formalise the very definition of what it means as education. It's better to be dreamless, I expect, than sharing a dream with someone who has directed a dream for us. India for me needs better citizens, and then the better institutions will follow the path of progress and elevation.

Nalanda or Harvard moment is away from our present for which we couldn't regret for a single moment. After all, degeneration is quintessential for a new future to come. Every such glory and downfall become a part of our destiny and destination. It's better to be silent when an art of questioning is still to be acquired.

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? Student: It is made of name, form, and function. Teacher: Whether name, form, and function are eternal?  Student: No, they are changing. Teacher: Anything changes does it exist? Whether these are real or merely fictitious images appearing and disappearing before the sightscreen of mind? Student: They are the images constructing my identity as a person. Teacher: Well said! 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...
