There is no thorough understanding of the world and its completeness is just a myth. Its complexity and order, beauty and brutuality has always been the same, same as it was foretold in Gita! Its time again that we learn the Gita, imbibe it, and live it.
The harrowing degree of criminality, the bold, undetected lies, the upright injustice and the unchecked discrimination, yes its all there as it was before! Yet there is constant zest by many of the scholars, philosophers to understand it, decode it, and demystify it so that a common man could understand, how bad the world is (ironically!). It is to me understood that the only reason religions and religious cults have survived and thrived, is the very existence of the utmost disorder, injustice, and crimes. It virtually testifies how important it has become, to sustain the disorder for the religions to (co-)exist. Is it the nature that the insurance of survival, and its consequential means depend explicitly on its threats? Or is it what Agent Smith told Morpheous, that the humanity is so incomplete and uncontent without the gloom and the sorrow, that an unwarranted happy life makes a man inescapably threatened!

Its funny when you give a thought that if there was indeed a GOD who created the earth, humans, and their resources, why he wouldn’t want to make it infinitely happier place? If he at all could build a place so complex as a universe, why he would run out on ideas to make it unendingly resourced. I guess, its us again! Its when we put ourselves at the center of everything and solve the puzzle from there onwards. Why can’t the theories of origin start with ourselves as mere by-products of one of GOD’s failed experiments? Why religious folklore begin with emancipation of mankind by a super-humanly character who is neither born nor dead, a reason of all confiscations, and discrimination; more so, when he couldn’t be summoned every now and then to clarify his stance on humanity and its current state. How easily blurred the reality becomes when the source of all doubts vanishes, this time not in the darkness but in the light of our own knowledge! My GOD!!!
I amusingly hear the religious philosophers painstakingly explaining the ifs-and-buts, the dos-and-don’t to the people with common sense but absent minds. I am sure that they have questions against GOD’s own rules, but they sit silent. Why? Why couldn’t a single person think that GOD’s mind functions seamlessly unlike our’s, and that it is wasteful to think of what GOD’d rather have? The religious philosophies, without exceptions, have been tempered with, they are perverse versions of the ones GOD intended originally. In that, I suppose he never left any bars. He ensured survival of ethics before philosophies and folklore, he put forth poors before wealth and empowered them with the virtues and conviction. He adhered to the health than materialistic indulgence. He believed in the duties and not in the rituals. He confided in the justice and the impunity to those who abide morals, but never forsaken the criminals, never!
So why now are we shying away from the truth? Why we need Krishna to descend down upon once again and enlighten Arjuna? Did he fail the last time? Did he leave any scope of doubt? Or is it because the commoners are just too lazy to wait for a saviour. Is the life befallen like a stupendous task of existence, survival, and growth? Or is the supremity now not reached by soulful contents and contentful souls? Have we become religious followers of theories than ideas? Or have we turned scapegoats at the end? I guess, its simply the time for GITA again!

Danks Dagadu!
It is always the time for GITA !!
(i mean the book Bhagwad Geeta)
Yo man. Its always the time…but who does it anyway?
Amazing Amol! Yeah, we always have lots of questions and in search of answers we wander…. I think ” Geeta” has it all, just that the way we interpret things and try to solve the unsolved.
Thanks Shruti. I find Gita to be one of the most profound books on humanity, life, and universe. And its very scientific in its approach, unlike BJP wants it to be believed
