A LIBERAL ART OF SERMONING


Every day is a learned lesson and a part of learning process. Learning, in fact, is a journey, a destiny, a faith. Those, who are willing to learn is a better person from past, and will be better in every possible way. In Greek, Plato philosophized that everything is in process of decaying, and the perfect copy is outside from the domain of time and space. The moment a copy of the perfect form appears in the process of time and space, it's bound to lose its original vigour and strength. It starts dying the moment that copy appears in the domain of time and space. On the other hand, Aristotelean philosophy doesn't accept this premise. Aristotle writes that everything by birth has potentiality, which is realised subject to formal, substantive, efficient, and the final teleological causes. Potentiality is not the perfect copy of original. Potentiality is the beginning. The final cause may be realised or may not be realised. Actuality may differ from the potentiality. What if we aspire to  re-invent our potentiality? That is very much possible that the re-imagination might be a liberatory and emancipatory act in many ways. To accept the fate of potentiality is to surrender before the possibility of immanence and transcendence. For re-imagination demands sincerity. One, who is willing to learn will transcend all the limitations and short-sightedness. One, who is sincere enough, so as not to justify every compulsion, is a person who has his own standing. One, who is not willing to sermonize, but let his imagination flow, without any glimpse of consequences or perception which may occur in the minds of other people, is a person who has wisdom and courage enough to transform his life in every possible way. I have changed many a dreams. I dismantled many a perspective and perception. I don't avoid my criticisms. I'd love to find the best critic in me, so as to swim under every current, without realising that for what I am meant to. There is no essence as such that defines me. I am essenceless creature, who is free enough to put on and put off many a skin, without any fear or shame that I don't remain what I was. I was never a person. I'm many a bundle of persons. I love paradoxes and contradictions. Because, reality is not exclusionary and specific. It imbibes every is and evey is not. Today, I have learnt not to change the world; every change starts with self and end also in self. All people cannot become alike. Let them what they are. It's only their self-realization that will change their vision of lives. If you're willing to change them you're simply making them reactionary. No one changes himself only due to sermon. Sermon is the worst art of teaching. The true freedom is to allow what they are capable to. No imposed discipline is required. It's self compulsion that is necessarily instrumental in every process of change and transformation. With these words, I rest my imagination. Thanks and regards.

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...
