WINE  &  DIVINE – (Part II )

- This article is dedicated to the people who are in search of  Happiness and loosing Health of : body-buddy-bread. 

One of the most popular Sanskrit shruti Vidhan says, “यो  वै भूमा तत्सुखं”! ( छांदोग्य उ.अ.७-२३-१)- In true sense this earth is the place for passion & fantasy! Where voluptuous (pleasure) experiments are carried out at moment to moment and  place to place- house to house, schools to colleges, parliament to parlor and temples to tomb and so on.It is a living lab. A lab where experiments are carried to achieve only one single goal is – Bliss.This is the school of experience and experiments only to attain one aim the  hypothesis is – PLEASURE and PLEASANT.

All our activities are around this goal. All my efforts are to submerge in bliss. Talking- listening,running - walking,sittind-standing,cursing - greeting, looking- breaking, the purpose is to get just a pleasantness.Sometimes it may look somewhat different where the act or mode of doing at surface but at deeper level these are the efforts solely to get pleasure nothing else other than this whether they aware of it or not, may be debatable! However, we all , what expect just - pleasantness!

These efforts are categorize under the two types where it may differ with mode and  medium where methods are similar e.g. both drinking Coke and Brandy or Eating sugar white and brown or Chicken and beef etc.

 There are two major ways-- one is – INSTINCTIVE and other is – DISTINCTIVE! ! !

 INSTINCTIVE - is sensual .It is objective. It is in the pursuit of happiness through object, commodity, things. It requires the something along with me to experience the happiness or pleasantness. It is but natural trait of all living organisms. There is instinctive love towards family, man and woman, man and animal or love affection is the instinctive one. It is a innate behavioral pattern of the animal so as of the man. Instinctive deals with sense organs. Body parts. Natural. Spontaneous. Naturalistic, physical,  common tendency of a human being. Raw. Inartificial.  Intrinsic. Easy to follow and do. Here the actions and reactions are spontaneous. This is to save our self too. As fear is one of the most important instinctive characteristics which help us to understand the danger .It is inclined towards self as it require for survival. It is so selfish still it is needed.

But there is a default characteristics of this pleasure ,  it is  temporary. It is momentary. Life span  of this type of pleasure is short. Here pleasure is followed by pain. Pleasure followed by rerates. Sometimes stress and depression. Pain and pleasure together and at last remains just a pain. After sometimes feel of emptiness and distress. Here main reason is for this type of pleasure need  other party ; may be individual or any object.  So it is generally so dependable on other hand. Many people sometimes  hate this type of pleasure but can not avoid as it comes along with the birth.It only can be sublimed, which then converts into the other type of pleasure is distinctive.

DISTINCTIVE is may not be beyond sense organs but deals with the properly  trained sense organs. Special. Exclusive. Notable Particular.Distinguishing.Exceptionl.Discriminatory.Incisive.Ore-

eminant.Difficult.Permanant.Initially may be painful but absolute gain at the end. No distress and no emptiness so quite peaceful. No other party is necessarily needed to be involved, so it is quite dependable. Absolute freedom is here.

Whatever it may be but both Instinctive and Distinctive intended to have a pleasure; is the fact. Now it is up to the individual where he or she wants to go or adopt the option.

In fact, all our efforts are inclined to get the sense of enjoyment and pleasantness. It is true no doubt. In addition, it is the basic need of the every individual.

This enjoyment has degrees of happiness on the different level. You may sometimes say blissfulness, ecstasy or exuberance; all these are the degrees of the same pleasant sensations, which everyone is in search of. We all are doing for the same. In addition , as it but natural,  it is required to survive.

What we are looking, listening, testing, walking and speaking nothing for what ? just for - pleasantness & joy ! All our body parts are always want it, because it is the need of body, a biological compulsions;  it is but natural, so anything wrong there ? No, not at all,it is absolutely justifiable to do so.And it is we are doing,it is a fact.

However does anyone, you have found so far who is in the efforts of agony, sadness, pain or any crisis? You may find answer NO; isn’t it ?But we are forced to face he same.We ought to go  through many unwanted circumstances.

On the contrary, very hardly you will find a man without- distress, trouble, difficulties and problems. Largely people are suffering from all these suffocations, to get rid from all these things he find out the easier and handy solution is – Wine.

Here in this second part we are tend to discuss about one of the option or way in search of pleasure or happiness  is – WINE ! ok ?

 So some go for Beer, some take Brandy, some high class Wine and very low income category find local liquor where as some college girls and boys go for very very dangerous and fatal fantasy brown like brown sugar—ganja, charas potion of such things which may take them away from all these things and may help to forget and put them into such a emotional  trance lightness where they find themselves so confident, brave or fearless. It may be temporary but it gives them relief at least for some time. Whether it is fair or unfair but their intend is to get relief.

They want to relax. Yes, it may be true! But that does it, the only gateway to relax or it is just to extricate and at what cost ? This is the point to be noticed.  In search of this relax how many things are involved many factors are affecting – money, health, relationship and also involves social and political issues as well. For the moment of pleasure 

or whaever is available to  forget from all these worldly chaos.   

What is pain Also it is a basic instinct to go towards the relief.  

So to release from all of these menaces

WINE  &  DIVINE – (Part I )
- This article is dedicated to the people who are in search of  Happiness loosing Health : body-buddy-bread. 

( A Happy Dog Force to Smile FREAKY)

It is absolutely true today the life around is very freaky or force to do so, as very unusual and unexpected thing happening. Things include animal, person, place or any event natural or man made, comport differently. We are so much concern with the happenings and peace, which includes major participation of man but he himself  dismantle the intrinsic form to deform, leads to the situation, seems to be seeped from his hand.

A very hectic and competitive days are pushing a man to very painful friction.This puts man into unsecured situation of  and compel him to take part in fatal race. Unfortunately it includes both men and woman.Woman are so extra burdened.

In this very unpredictable and tagged scenario in every walks of life - home,office,society,school including religious places,where we intend to find a solution, that a man can get little space to forget his worries, tension, turmoil.As these pressure both woman and men they are now in search of relaxation. This search some times taking them diverted or to the either side of the bank. Important is most essential pillars of society are in unstable situation, so to stabilize they adopt the easy solutions to breath.  

Then for little sigh there is so the easy available options  one is socially approved other one is disapproved,though the parameters of society are also changed dramatically but it is only question remain with one is opened and other one is in protected space. This is a trendy path of  BRANDY

Where as - the other is        traditional path of   DEVOTEE --  to calm down.
It is also true that who will go to which path is decided by many factors,but both the places are  now trending fast.
 Adopting either any one or both options depends upon their mind set up,financial permit and social background.And you may find lot of rush there at both the places, even at certain places people are in ques. Sometimes they are in such a need where they even cant wait and pay extra charges to solemn themselves some are quietly and sometimes very hastily. Surprising thing is both are not certain for their result.The ultimate result is again fear and insecurity.

So intend may be justifiable but practical experience is both ways are not much hospitable.Now a days both ways are become so commercial that people who go for this, instead of getting out of their problems they are day by day put themselves into mire. They come to know latter when nothing has left with them, it happens in both places-Religion and Restaurants(Bar).
Why it is so then lot of people are running for, despite of criticizing it ? Both you will see unhappy with elongated faces !!!  

In fact all have almost missing the fact. All are talking about the globalization, social justice and freedom, but who will take care of individual whose mind software either have become default or corrupt.  Due to acceptance of faulty life style and extrovert mind set.  And most dangerous thing is, absolutely they are unaware. At one hand they feel themselves level-headed or sound thinkers but on other hand what the options most of them are adopting to be pleasant is: Wine!

On other hand, those who are self declare spiritual agitators around, are adopting the same misunderstood, peripheral or peddling religious dogma. On the top of that, they do say we are the only authority  and spreading such a techniques, they insist to follow which are not only easy to practice for the fellowmen today nor it has been fully experienced by themselves. Like wise many outdated, blunt and very difficult procedures for the common man today; saying this is the true path followed by many, to be pleasant is: Divine !

Both groups are in search of peace and to calm down there mind after the days long work and efforts, the better and easier way to exercise  either divine or wine option to dull their mind and body.

If you see, the result - it is o.k. but same for both wine  and divine is  just temporary. It is  to soothe, yes or no ? But See; observe both parties are doing this for the same result finding no such permanent  relief . If you want, then, ask them, there will be endless confrontation on the option they have exercised or following. You will find no concrete and acceptable answer. Even their justification will take the great Utopian shape and will justify the social and economical need. You will find both side have same number of votes. In particular, discussion, whosoever may win, both party always remains in dilemma. Wine party or Divine party both will be little doubtful with their justification, because their main issue is relief ,which they are deprived off. It is the mere ibnorence, both are responsible to turn blind eye to so called LIFE STYLE and  so called SPIRITUALITY as well.   

While reading this blog you too, may fold your cuffs for one more war, but let me clarify that we are here seeking solution with respect to both of the philosophies. Here we will not conclude with the denial of either parties rather we may give them better understanding towards the same result for what they are looking for.

Let us discuss the latter first- Spirituality: It is very vast subject and need deep understanding is required to cope with the justification of spirituality that dulling your mind may long term give better result. But it is not the place here where my separate blog is dedicated for this subject.

So my major emphasis is on the connivance towards adopting just inexperienced techniques and neglecting the so profound and valuable assets of thousands of years of perseverance of those ancient seekers is taken so lightly and many have made their livelihood the business out of it. 

There are very few religious gurus and organisations are easily available today to help you for yourself; they are just like the religious agents helping on taxing toll. If you are getting some relief or outcome then it is absolutely the fruit of  your innocent belief and trust towards that almighty God. But for this you need not to hold anybodies flag on your shoulder and to take extra efforts to visit them day to day or weekly congregation.

On other hand we are exercising easier and stylish option to dull their mind is ALCOHOL- in different flavor, test, colour, quality and local or imported as well depends upon the passion and pocket. Now within one hundred years alcohol consumption has become one important part of the ritual of many festivals and ceremonies birthday to funeral. Few years before just probably 1% in villages were drunken people but today even youngsters, boys and girls too, are in the stupor, kick !

Initially only landlords or the rich people were going for this indulgence but now it has become fashion, trend in all ages,every poor and cultured families including young generation and becoming addict at very early age. It is becoming now the status symbol  

In fact all want to pamper themselves to get rid of the stress of the today’s cut throat race and also to protect the so called self declared identity. But in this process we forget how our health is affecting. It is affecting yourself Physically, Economically very badly. In addition, Psychological effect is so horrendous that many people cannot come out of their situation throughout their life. It becomes lifetime curse on their shoulder under which they slowly become part of the top soil-dead. Global status report on alcohol and health published by WHO that there are millions people die due to alcohol consumption addition to wreck the family totally.

At least WHO has not yet published any fatal and cognizable survey report those who are affected by religious gurus or preachers so at least it is better option but do it knowingly don’t drag your family if they are not willing. But it is true as, alcohol addict there are  religious addict as you know these people also become danger elements for peaceful society.

I personally neither supporting nor I oppose both the parties those who want to go for the alternatives; rather I am here to suggest you, the better option which you may try yourself as your intent towards doing this is mainly to calm down yourself. So let us find some of the easy alternatives-

1)Spare your free time absolutely with your family- wife, mother, father and children
2) If you want to drink then don’t go out just sit in your bed room and enjoy for a while. This habit controls and avoids addiction.

3)Instead of wasting so much amount for both to religious gurus or for wine ,purchase some good books whichever you like and spend your time to read good stuffs of your mind and intellect.

4)Keep all your religious teachings at personal level don’t try to impose either on your family members or society.

5)Don’t become addict of anything, just keep in mind.

( We shall meet in second part where we discuss odd and even effects of both dulling options-Wine and Divine with scientific analysis.)

Thank you.

The rift - 8 Elite People , Who are bestowed ?

8 Elite People – Who are bestowed ?

The news published on 17th Jan 2017: There are just eight men who collectively own as much wealth as the poorest half of the global population, new research from Oxfam has shown.The charity warns that the gap between the super-rich and the very poor has widened greatly in the space of a year. In 2016, it was the world’s 62 richest people whose combined wealth equated that of the poorest 3.6 billion on the planet.

So has it only knock me in? not at all,it is just a silky curtain took out a  uncovered my mind and whatever it was in since days together ; popped up.I just flooded with the hundred thousand feelings ,which is as if like a same number of words or may be pages like this . So here I would just quote points , not to elaborate , because this issue begins with the origin of mankind till today , very varied emotional and socioeconomic shades . It is not the only issue of poverty and wealth but the consequence of the doctrine followed half heatedly or misinterpretation or under the influence of the same . It has lot many sides and frames of rational . 

So we highlight some very vulnerable issues in the form of nutshell and expressed here just in the form of questions which we all think more or less in this way. We together has to think over and find out the solution . It may assist individually .Then ,we may think about the state,nation & at global strata. 
Why should we think now / does it in our hand ? are we in position to alter it ? probably no . But let us think it may be possible next year new research from Oxfam has shown  list of 1 rich is declared in 2018 who equated the wealth of 50% poorest on the planet as 8 were in 2017 and 62 in 2016 .

So let us explore our journey of how the rift is created : 

1) Values in 19th century around Europe - As per mid modern history the man who has talked about discrimination of  the poor and rich was and also who left his foot prints on pages of history , the Karl Marx.
Who first published the manifesto in 1884 in mid nineteenth century as Communism . Fascinated the world people since tose days till today . 

Soviet Union was the first Marxist government emerged from Russian revolution. But within the span of fifty years many left , communist groups have emerged in early twentieth century. And over the subsequent decades the government named themselves the ‘Communist’ attain the power from eastern Europe, eastern Asia and some parts of Africa .But during late 1980’s and 1990’s most of these regimes failed and then overpowered by the government who have adopted the ‘Capitalistic Economic Policies’. Where there include many who were just talking about the communism but following the capitalistic view one of them is People’s Republic of China.

So those who have power and denied the contemporary old social system unable to carry forward the egalitarian policies which wanted to do so.Not only this but the same thing is happened just in new form with few new things that also with sharp discrimination along with the fueling the painful emotions and putting salt in.This strategy now has taken a so serious mode that for everything people come out to agitate and spoil the property of their state as if it was blazed before the could get the freedom.It is now out of control so most of the state leaders just deviated it towards them to full fill their vicious agenda in the name of communism,equality,secularism and socialism.
So why it has been happened ,as today every country many poor are starving for food ?

2)Rise of Buddhism and Saint time - Indus Civilization was a very much developed at that time. So this was dilapidated ? or only natural calamities only held responsible ? So but in due course of time situation is deteriorated in such  that one normal and natural incident transformed one prince into sage of the world , the Buddha . According to Buddha , hunger can not digest spiritual preaching . So there was  so much discrepancies were existing.

Then Adi Shankaracharya and then period of sant Kabir,Sant Dnyaneshwar . All they have worked for the welfare of the common people.The Sufism reached India in the 12th century A.D. Its influence grew considerably during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries.In India, Chisti and Suhrawardi Silsila were most prominent. Chisti order was founded in India by Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti. Let us not talked about very old historical things but since the first foreign invasion from 12^th century .
 At this time some what was actual scenario of the then society ? their social and economical balances ? and how the religious movement  has sprung up in India ?

Sant Dnyaneshwar era 13th century,  he while concluding his most auspicious and scholarly as well as which has greatest literature value in the scripture :‘Dnyaneshwari’.Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaja wrote a universal prayer  ‘PASAYDAN’ to that infinite heavenly God. With no boundaries in this prayer, for all of the universal prayer : " जो जे वांछील तो ते लाहो प्राणिजात " i.e. I hope so that my people get what they ask for.
But still, since 700 years  after this prayer ; my question is do we dare to proclaim whatever we ask for we do get or got ? ( In 2012, the Indian government stated 22% of its population is below its official poverty limit. The World Bank, in 2011 based on 2005's PPPs International Comparison Program, estimated 23.6% of Indian population, or about 276 million people, lived below $1.25 per day on purchasing power parity.)
Leave this even minimum need of living essentials also some people are deprived of,isn't it  ?

3)Who defeated Communism - This communism spared through the states ,the country which has primarily gone along with accepting the communism is fragmented in due course of time and still many are starving for even the basic need of life support.

Also followed by their many states including India. government too, but the discrimination is in fact instead of reducing it is started emerging in different shape and size with specific colour which is mixed in a such a way that it is now has become difficult to distinguish what is true and what is not !
Why it so ?

4)Mind set of rich and poor - Is their difference between the attitude of rich and poor ? If yes what it is ?or what are the features of rich and poor ?

Also their assets and shortcomings need to be discussed. And is their in India some of the poor have become the rich one and now what do they think after becoming the elite class at least in India ?
How do they both look like?


5)Indian Communism  - Communist party in India arised around 1920 - 25 before independence.Around about 1926 CPI workers are ordered to work under the Workers and Peasants Party of Bengal due to British compulsion.Still today most of the time rulers are communist but the scenario is vary alarming.

After the 70 years of independence is there any remarkable or discernible changed is happened as we have adopted more or less communist doctrine and at present if we see most vulnerable flashing news state is West Bengal which has broken first into two parts and after independence Mr. Jyoti Basu was the longest term holder chief minister for 24 years?

6) Definine poverty and richness -What is the actual definition and meaning of poverty as well as wealth? What is the minimum need of man to survive ?

or does our need of survival have been changed in due course of time?
Poverty and wealth has many views .I think  may be as many as the seven hundred millions possibly.Also it may varies from place to place and the counties as well.Any universal definition  is there or it is also can be trapped so called  into perception ?

 7)Ancient Indian dynasties -  India has very old history. Available epics like Ramayana & Mahabharata in both the epics if we peep through the pages properly with the economical angles then we may find lots of proof related to the wealth and property rights which so far  rarely highlighted.

 so since10 to 15 thousand years this issue of claiming right and deprived class was present, here our question is, if since thousands of years together this discrimination or attitude of the people could not change after the birth of hundreds of messengers of peace and harmony, then is it possible now at this juncture where there is no trust between neighbors people or country, even no trust is left in small family itself in individual houses, how discrimination and equality can be attain or is it a utopian or factious idea ?

8)Fanatic approach of Indians to materialism and spiritualism - As far as our so called  Indian scholars of both the sides are concern, they are under the influence of ‘Pseudo Principles’ which they kept pursuing years together and exploiting the innocents.
No matter indigenous or alien .

And it is at both the sides what they called themselves Leftist and Rightist. Both are literate, using bunch of communes for their  agenda just for sake of  rigidity. Mostly so far these people are only thinking and proclaiming themselves as leftist have prevailed Indian politics with secularism which has kept dividing India since long time till today .

Many of we the Indian feel proud or neglecting most of those invaders , some time we dare to praise them or glorify including some of the shortcomings or the mistakes what we Indians have committed and tries to justify till today . 
In India according to available historical documentation it is very clear that ,who is the real culprit and who is the sufferer
It is not the time today now to come forward and seek the nationalism - subjective not objectively, what do you say?

9)True asset of Indian people - Is there any possibility with India which has very deep rooted culture and concepts which kept India still alive as it is despite of many invasions since twelfth century which still happening may be it in different form , as seeking is the basic and very premier quality of this country men the common man ? Somebody asked " is India a poor country " ? you may say with negation because India is rich but people are poor.India has world largest number of poor people.

10) Case Study - Before you go for thinking or criticizing . I wold suggest some of the addendum , I mentioned this term with both meanings .

Do you know how and what was the India before the foreign  travelers , invaders and merchants ? And what was the   Religion , Social and Economical status as well ?Secondly why do those invaders could have came for , what was the intention and the reason ? 

Now just go through this like case study . Can it be possible to construct today with all types of highly sophisticated and ultra modern machinery ? Then how those people could do , despite of what we call  technology today ? So they were uneducated or illiterate or primitive old ancient and undeveloped ? What do you think ? Because we have freedom to speak anything cursing our India that also by the people who call themselves Indians and intellectual class . There are some , even they say India has no history , but talk about Ramayana and Mahabharata , a dual eyes with .And on other side they only feel proud of Rama and Krishna without going through the truth.We should have courage to accept our mistakes all mistakes then only any we can come out with proper solution because we all are their offspring .

    At last I would like to well come your sharp views to take forward this issue which may contribute some sort of guideline to help the  people to calm down with their desperation of helplessness who are concern and feel stressful due to the deteriorating social atmosphere. This is only for those who are sincere enough to care our fellowmen and country.

 ( Note: This is followed by series of  blogs on each of the question, please sty with it.) 

Thank you.
