Ahistorical histories of ideas: Teleological progression and Discursive formation

Portrait Source: Google Books


If you were asked which knowledge do you trust? first, which is practiced in actions, second, which is enunciated in speech, third, which is a part of oeuvre of an author, fourth, which represents a homogeneous account of ideas with strange continuity, fifth, which shows the limitations and conditions for discourse and discursive practices; strategically maneuvered to demonstrate regularity and continuity, a systemization of ideas, normalization of speech and conduct, a formalized universality, a grandiose of teleology. You may guess, where does knowledge reside? Whether knowledge is cognitive or psychological phenomenon? Whether it demonstrates the presence of an author in a setting of discourse? Whether or not all discourses are contingent, temporal, non-repetitive, a lived reality, which is lived again, but with a different orientation, in quest of regularity and continuity, which makes possible to the appearance of a teleological discourse? What significance a written note has of an author in the appearance of a systemized work, like Nietzsche wrote a few with laundry bills? What role a fanciful imagination has in the grand genre of an artist? I don't have one answer. It can't be. There are many incoherent and paradoxical thoughts; may be systemized after the practice of choosing a few regularity, for the appearance of discourse, and beneath it, the vast array of silences, remain there, live its own oblivion, wait for its moments to be a part of future discourses. History of ideas is ahistorical, discontinuous, non-circular. History is a strategic unity in Foucaudian sense, beneath it, the vast possibilities of marginal discourses appear and remain there in silences. These sentences, being written here, in a spatial and temporal dimension, are, in fact, the  lived realities for the moment, being a part of the larger setting of the theme, in which every sentences follow a few grammatical rules, every proposition is weighed at par logical structure, every sentence may or may not be referential to any independent object to represent, it may or may not symobolize what I intend to do. But above all, and beneath every sentence, there is a strategic structure, the pre-existing conditions, for the possibility of statements and speech act. My sentences may be grammatically incoherent or coherent, logically illogical or illogically logical, but these conditions are not quintessential for the possibility of discourse. It appears with a default setting of formative practices, which are lived for the moments, but thought later, criticized later, analyzed later, to cohere a possibility of knowledge, which is unlikely to be written in coherence and continuity, it is simply made as a regular progression, a strategic possibility, which appears to be revelatory and objective, but it can't be divorced from the formative practices, which make the discourse possible in the first place.

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.
