Suhana safar aur ye mausam hasin - a tribute by Rakesh YashRoy

POWER OF TOTAL SURRENDER TO INFINITY

There are four kinds of people who remember Me on this earth?.... Ist) Who are in trouble/pain and wish relief; 2nd) Who offer a business-like deal to bring people in my fold say by religious convresions, making relilgious orgainizations, places of worship, etc to glorify Me in return of worldly benefits, 3rd) Who wish to fathom/meisure Me (intellectuals, academics/researchers), and last 4th) who love and surrender ego to reach Me. O Arjuna, I meet only those who totally surrender to Me (4th category): declarares Cosmic/Virat/Infinite God in Srimad Bhagwad Gita. Scientists fall in the 3rd category. Though all categories of 'worshipers' gain/progress on earth, or reach heavens\other planets/worm holes/oblivion (Trikshankus) , only those who bow to infinity unconditionally (total surrender to God Almighty) reach My state of Eternal Bliss: Ancient Wisdom.

POWER OF FOCUSED MIND

How ocean spoke to Lord Rama? All gunas/properties/characteristics of everything in the Universe and beyond are set/made by God and rediscovered by men and women of science, art, technology, religion, etc., who may thus contribute to expansion of knowldege by focusing their mind by hardwork, meditation etc. Great scientists, yogees, men/women of focus may also record these discoveries as scriptures like Vedas, Ramayan, Srimad Bhagavad Gita, Bible, textbooks, research journals, etc. Those who can concentrate like Lord Rama can hear ocean, wind, vulture,squirrel, tree, etc. Ayurveda knowledge initially came from deep focused conversation with plants by Rishis. Scientists like Kekule could hear/dream about structure of benzene, Newton question an apple to discover gravity. Similarly, even most useless politicians can focus on how to befool maximum numbers of voters by raising human biases, petty gains, distributing freebies, etc., in order to carve out their vote banks and snatch power by hook or crook - biggest threat to democracies. Srimad Bhagavad Gita says that caste is a profession by work and not birth. Krishna was a cowboy (Yadav) turning into a kshatria king later and Maharishi Vyas was a Brahmin by work and not birth. Others for example, Acharya/Guru Vishwamitra was Kshatriya by birth and Brahmin by work, Chandrgupta Morya was Kshatriya by work but not birth; Acharya Kotilya (father of political science and diplomacy) was Vashya by birth and Brahmin by work; Maharishi Valmiki - original author of Ramayan and Guru of Lord Rama's sons was a non-brahmin by birth yet a Brahmin by work. There are other equivalent examples of 'castes' like smith/jadeja, boulanger/baker/cook/khansama/rasoyia, singer/gayakwad. They are all by work and not birth, unless parents coerce their children into family profession and create a fixed caste. Politicians may therefore desist from propagating and legitimizing caste systems in society to divide their people for narrow political vote-bank gains. Democracies must therefore, seriously find a foolproof system to bring people of grit and exemplary character into poltics and cull out blind opportunism in order to deliver good governance, or else perish into oblivion.

GOD, NATURE AND SCIENCE

Nature is the image of God - Ancient Wisdom. Nature (Energy= mass x square of velocity of light, Einstein equation) is also held in high esteem in Ancient Wisdom as feminine version of God. Aceptance of image (for example, accepting our own mirror image /photograph for our identity) as supreme is commonest way of accepting supremacy of self-generating (by 'big bang' from nothing/Mahshunya to Svayambhu universal cosmic expansion/Virat manifestation) principle of Ancient Wisdom. Ancient Wisdom also explains energy as consumable /usable energy, as kinetic/moving radiation/light (Luxmi) and fixed/potential energy or mass (Bhu Devi) and their convertibility relationship/principle (square of velocity of radiation/light) as knowledge (Saraswati). All these principles of energy management are handled by God Almighty/Paramatma (the greatest soul or neutral/propertyless/nirgun Mahashunya Almighty Parmatma) claimed as origin of the Universe (big bang, described as sudden appearance of a point brilliance of uncountable suns - Srimad Bhagwad Gita). In addition Srimad Bhagwad Gita also demonstrates, that in being Sarv Shaktimaan/Supreme God Almighty too, assumes Nirgun or Sagun states. Sagun may have all forms/properties in One Virat Cosmic manifestation. Science accepts this analogy as particles also exist as waves at the same moment of time, in quantum mechanics. Ancient Wisdom regards all those who worship Nature/Creation as Adi Shakti(E=mc^2) or propertyless/nirgun/'Shaligram' point-source/Vishvanu or God particle as theists or believers of God. Even, worshipers of four-armed human/Narayan Vishnu with new-born Universe/Brahmaji instantlly arising from Vishnu's naval, are regarded as theists/believers of God. Scientists/astronomers like Hawking and others may thus be considered as Nature worshipers or Shakti/Energy believers as supernatural poweror God. Appreciation of creation is essentially appreciation of Creator (not yet discovered by Science). Problem with modern science is that it accepts only that can be studied and proved and not what still remains to be studied in future and proven. Science is a continuing process and therefore, denying the existence of God on the basis of what is known or proved today, is unjustifiable.
