Ref : High Voltage Dynasty politics and Criminal politicians through out the Nation, destroying our Heritage ( Paitrukam ) of Culture ( Samskaram-s )!?


Diet is a necessity for the human body, but it does not mean that the body should be given the same diet under every circumstance, at every time. The conditions of the body will tell what type of diet is necessary, or whether any diet is necessary at all under those conditions. So, while nature requires that everyone should exist, and does not desire that anyone should perish, the intention of nature is not the perpetuation of individual forms, but of ideals and ideologies.

This is, again, a deep theme that is hidden behind the outer history of mankind's formations. Human history, when it is studied in a philosophical manner—not as we study it in high schools, but in a deeper sense—becomes a study of ideals and ideologies, rather than the activities of kings and queens or the dates of wars that took place, etc.

History does not mean the story of kings and queens; it is something else from the point of view of nature or the universe as a whole. If kings and queens were the only important things, they would not have died. But they were not important. They were necessary as certain vehicles or instruments for the fulfilment of a purpose which was more impersonal than themselves.

But cultures such as the Roman, to give only one instance among many, stuck to the personalities and the ideals of certain persons and groups of individuals rather than having the flexibility that nature expected from them in the interest of the larger purpose, which was not merely Roman. Nature is not Roman or Greek; it has a wider eye.

Therefore, anyone who cannot see through the eyes of nature will not be permitted to live. This is something very important to know. There is no use of our looking at things, and then insisting that those visions should persist always. We are saved only if we are in a position to collaborate with the ideals of nature.

These cultures which are not seen today have died out because nature does not want them. They clung to forms, and nature does not want merely forms, just as we are fond of motorcars because they are necessary for some purpose but if the purpose is not served by the possession of the motorcar, it has no value.

The vehicle itself is not important; only the purpose it serves, or is expected to serve, is important. So, when an individual or a group of individuals—or a culture, as we may call it—cannot serve the purpose that is the great intention of nature as a whole, it is cast aside. It is given an exit order, as the director of a drama closes the curtain on an actor whose role has ended.

To be continued ...

NOTE :

1. Fall of great cultures and civilizations, we read in history, Swamiji, narrating to brush up our memories;

2. Nature ( Prakruthi ), has a concern with culture / civilization;

3. Lord Krishna in Srimad Bhagavad gita says :

 "I have two prakruthi-s, one is Nature and the second is Jivatma"

4. Hence NATURE HAS IMPORTANT ROLE IN OUR EXISTENCE;

5. BUT WE FOOLS, DO NOT RESPECT THIS RULE, WE DESTROY THE NATURE, WE POLLUTE THE NATURE;

6. AS THERE IS DIRECT CONNECTION OF NATURE WITH LORD;

7. EXPECT A REACTION FROM NATURE, BY WAY OF CALAMITIES, ALL OUR ACTIONS AGAINST NATURE, NATURE WILL REACT WITH EQUAL FORCE.

OPINION :-

1. CULTURE/CIVILIZATIONS CONNECTED WITH NATURE, UNDERSTAND THIS;

2. RESPECT THE RULES, SUSTAIN NATURE, CULTURE FLOURISHES

3. RELIGIONS, LANGUAGE, OR ANY MAN MADE SEPARATIONS, MUST BE KEPT AWAY, TO SAFE UNITY AND CIVILIZATION.

4. ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY, FORMED BECAUSE OF THE THEN NECESSITY, AND CALLED AS SAMPRADAYA AND NOT RELIGIONS;

5. THE PURPOSE OF ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY NO LONGER REQUIRED TO THE PRESENT WORLD, WE SEE THE SYMPTOMS IN THE FORMS OF TERRORISTS, AND INCREASING VIOLATIONS OF NATURE'S RULES OF EXISTENCE, THESE TWO SO CALLED SAMPRADAYA ARE ALREADY PERISHING, SOON DISAPPEAR.
