OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE

OPEN YOUR THIRD EYE



You can’t be more resourceful and cleverer than the people aboard the Titanic. What happened to the people aboard the ship should act as an eye-opener. It is enough a cue to convince ourselves that we can’t afford a pleasure-seeking mad rush, leaving behind the majority of equal humans in peril. Therefore, it will be wiser for everyone of us to look beyond our personal, parochial interests and indulgent preferences, in the larger interest of humanity, in what shall also remain preserved the welfare of our progenies and descendants.

         We, as humans, are possessed of two things - one, the body and brain with our ego-centric and egotistic sense of physical possessions, social denominations, etc. and two, the conscience, which, though, not so exactly definable as physical and psychological entities are, is always presided over by God, Himself. If we become too biased about our physical denominations and engage ourselves in the agenda of self-aggrandizement, we fail to feel the presence of God within our hearts and go bereft of the appeals of conscience. This is verily this state of our ‘self’  when a demonic spirit descends and overpowers us under its demonic claws. Initially screeching though, we become calm, pliant and seasoned later on; take pleasure in enjoying  glimpses of the magnificent landscapes far below and rather hold its talons more securely lest we should fall down to crash. Nobody needs to be told what happens to a man under the demonic hold.                                                                                In order to make it vividly intelligible, let me take the latitude of  citing another  example. Initially how hesitant a member of the fair sex naturally becomes when obliged to play a whore. But once a pimp succeeds in winning someone to his nefarious designs,it is very easy to see what a life she begins to live under the dichotomy of disgust and pleasure. Such is the nature of demonic hold.

         Our wisdom lies in how easily can we draw a line of similarity between this crude example and the state of our being. When wisdom smiles on us, we begin to believe that man is superior to animal in as much as the former is operated upon by an ever-alert conscience. Man is the seat of conscience through which God operates to show the world the path to righteousness and then man realizes that what profits him must also profit others alike. Only then can peace and tranquillity pervade through human societies across the world. Otherwise, everyone is found groaning, whining and held hostage to his own weaknesses  and vices. This condition is verily what makes one’s life hellish.

         When the demonic spirit takes over the charge of our being, we begin to believe that a stag has to die in order to make its flesh and blood a lion’s. Such sensibilities of human intelligence transmute a human segment into a bestial order. Every member of a bestial society swings continually between two extremes of elusive hope on the one hand, and of perennial despair on the other. Men under such an order trot between different goals of possession in search of a secure anchorage, jostle and try to compete with everyone else in the fray, lose sight of one’s real being, thus, becomes a part of a disorderly stampede, hardly having anything sensible to think about. The transmutation of our physical possession into egotism and condescension is tantamount to transformation of human intelligence into bestiality. Mahatma Gandhi’s greatness could be traced to His lifework in removing the elements of conceitedness and condescension from the general masses. 

         As humans, we inherit all the animate and inanimate resource of this planet, not merely to live like animals but to found a just human order, which is holistic, where one finds that one’s profit is as much a thing of profit for all the others alike. To found human society on this pedestal is everyman’s due to God. Until and unless, a man contributes to this task in his own right, he is subject to the principle of natural selection and survives as a consequence of chance phenomenon and natural allowance.
