On Conflict, Fear and Pleasure..

with 4 comments

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.
