My Memoir

Here is an interesting article from Sci Am , suggesting the existence of a pre-bang universe ,which would have imploded and then exploded to form the Universe we live in…

I recently read an article on Martin Luther King and the power of love against injustice that he quoted , written by Mihir Shah.The author had thrown light on the prevailing economic inequality , hatred and injustice and probed so many questions on arriving at a tangible solution.

According to a survey by the World Bank , the income level of people who formed the lower 60% economic class of the world dropped down by 10 % , and that of the top 10% raised by 50 % over a period of hundred years or so.Now this shows the growing inequality more evidently than anything else could.

He says hate and injustice have always prevailed and are growing.He suggests , Martin Luther King’s Agape – the pure redemtive love a weapon against injustice.This great activist’s suggestion of the power of love , reminded me those of JK’s ideas on love.

King says “Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love “.And there will be justice only when there is no Power for the sake of power.Such power without  love is abusive and love without power is sentimental and aneamic.

There are conflicts, blockades to reach the justice , but conflicts have to be considered as problems seeking solutions and not as war yielding victory of one over the other.The author says , the greatest failure of the 20th Century’s economy was to find out an alternative to Capitalist society that would be implemented efficienlty to curb injustice.True, we have a long way to go as long as we are ready to face hard questions and bind together to produce tangible answers!!

Well , this break from blogging was scheduled.

I have been reading JK these days.. It is truely enlightening to know your life is under chaos(as JK puts it) and it can be lived merrily ,if we know the root cause of human emotions.

He talks so elaborately about human brain , the thought process , “ME” as an illusion (or rather a pile of perceptions about one self) , love without  attachment or possession, relationships , conflict . so on and so forth. The recent tragedies in the name of God are disheartening ..JK says “Man loves his God and releigion, because he invented them”.. I would say man loves his ideas , his policies , his beleif more than anything.It occurs to me that all these that are done in the name of God , reflect man’s fear of losing his beleif, his fear of detachment from the illusion about himself and his beleif.

Have the modern releigions really taken spirituality to people ? Do they really serve the purpose , they were intended to.God knows !!! Man has to know to live without divisions, divisions of releligion , origin, country ,etc..He should learn to resolve conflicts, both internal and external. Are we yet to evolve into that stage ?? I wish more great minds like JK be born,rise up and preach man what he was intended to do as a social animal in this planet.
