On Achievement

Sometimes, I think, every obsession is exhausted love, but then big things are achieved with obsessive instinct, just like to follow the path tirelessly without knowing where it is leading to. What really is an achievement? Is there any universal definition of it? Achievement is just like a  personal stimulation or collective satisfaction? Achievement is name, fame, money, power, pleasure, bliss, or what? Nothing endures that long. Every name and every fame fade away like momentary dust. What about money? Money is just like faith; a piece of paper, or few digits moving here and there, its exchange value is useful for food, cloth, shelter; not more than that. What else its surplus does? Perhaps, a definition of richness which withers away in the pages of history. World is no more ruled by Rockefeller or Rothschild, and these names may be remembered in a short span of time for whatever reason, but they don't endure that long in the history of Earth, just forget about unknown universe. What else may be described as achievement? Perhaps, life itself is an achievement. It's wonderful to be alive. Achievement is not a distant future. You're an achievement.To coil to be is unreal. Here you're. Feel through senses the amazing phenomenon of Universe. Just be there, once you feel the vibrance of life, becoming would be a futile exercise. I have not seen a plant, desiring to be someone, not a drop of river, shivering in insecurity to protect the ego. Water is shapeless, surrender itself with flow, in trance, just like magic of uncertainty pervades around us. Every desire of accumulation enslaves mind; every desire to be is an insult of being. Being is real, here and now, what else, you'll achieve?

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...

The Reciprocal Grounding of Freedom and Moral Law in Kant's Critique of Practical Reason

I Introduction: The Problem of Transcendental Freedom In Immanuel Kant's practical philosophy, transcendental freedom and the moral law are established not as independent concepts but as reciprocally determinant principles. This blog examines the central thesis of the Critique of Practical Reason, which posits that the moral law serves as the ratio cognoscendi (the reason for knowing) of freedom, while freedom is the ratio essendi (the reason for being) of the moral law. We become aware of our freedom only because we are first conscious of the moral law as an unconditional command; the "ought" reveals the "can." Conversely, the moral law itself could not exist as a binding principle were freedom not a real property of the will. Through a critical analysis of Kant’s text, this paper traces his argument from the rejection of all empirical moral theories to the establishment of a purely formal law, known as a "fact of reason." This analysis reveals how Ka...

The Physical Basis of Conscious Life: A Synthesis of William James's Physiological Psychology

I Introduction: Bridging Physiology and Psychology William James, in his landmark work The Principles of Psychology, provides a foundational framework connecting the brain's physiological mechanisms to the purposive, selective, and unified nature of conscious mental life. This blog analyzes James’s synthesis, which grounds psychological phenomena in the material workings of the nervous system without reducing consciousness to a mere epiphenomenon. We will explore his hierarchical model of the brain, which evolves from simple reflex actions in the lower nerve centers to the complex, deliberative functions of the cerebrum. Key themes include the role of the cerebrum as an organ of foresight and prudence, the physiological mechanism of habit as the process by which experience physically imprints itself upon the brain’s plastic matter, and consciousness's essential function as a “selecting agency” that is causally efficacious in steering the organism toward its own interests. Ultim...
