Indic Wisdom: Assuming Eternal Responsibility

Published by

Eternal Values’ emanate from Eternal Gaze (Sanatani Drishti) . That’s how it is established that the basic source of ‘eternal values’ is eternity. Time has no impact on these values but when these values manifest in our behaviour then time surely gets impacted. This happens due to the nature of the relationship which is incessantly present between time and eternity. This incessant presence of relationship between the two can only be experienced in meditation when someone transcends the mind. Before that none can differentiate between time and eternity. Attaining transcendence is possible when we are initiated by an adept yogi in yogic path. In common parlance what scientists refer to as time, that is ‘measure of time’ and not time? How can they define it when they don’t know it?

Yogi’s eternal vision/gaze has an endless capacity of accommodating not only ‘universal values’ but also all the visions based on ‘universal values’. Therefore, on upholding ‘eternal values’ in our character unconditionally, accepting the truth coming from anyone or anywhere becomes our spontaneous attitude. Humility doesn’t desert us irrespective of the situations we face. Victory doesn’t make us arrogant.

What to speak of the wonder of deeper dimensions which are revealed in the self on upholding ‘Eternal Values’, even at the surface level of behaviour, the impact is palpable. Let us take a concrete example to understand this. In today’s global landscape spanning all nations, when we observe various Rights Movements Groups like Gender Rights Groups, Minority Rights Groups, and Refugee Rights Groups, each of these, along with similar groups, anchors their narrative on ‘universal values’.

This reflects in their differing visions. Each group blows its own trumpet. But, when we see through the lens of ‘eternal values’ their rights don’t appear to us as different from our duties towards them (one and all). Hence, when viewed through the lens of ‘eternal values’, these endeavours for their respective rights transform into cooperative endeavours involving all stakeholders.

In an Artificial Intelligence driven world, family consciousness, with no artificiality in all relationships, alone will work as divinity in humanity

Vision of oneness has the capacity to change/transform the scenario for one and all (them). But, human mind asks for infinite freedom/openness before agreeing for the oneness and it is axiomatically clear that eternal vision/gaze alone is capable of ensuring the infinite openness. As there is no ‘other’ in this gaze. In a universal perspective that struggles to embrace diversity sufficiently, where even slight variations such as gender identification prompt the formation of groups for acceptance, how can we conceive of absolute openness within this universal vision?

Isn’t it ironic that in all such ‘Rights conflicts,’ we create groups, align ourselves with one or the other, and then designate one group as victim and another as perpetrator? The reality is that we humans, alone are on both sides. We are witness to this ironic and tragic spectacle across the globe. Be it in Israel, Syria, and Ukraine… flash points can occur anywhere tomorrow! It is the division in vision that divides people on the ground. If all the stakeholders in these situations apply the lens of ‘eternal values’ they will surely figure out the most acceptable solution. As, the lens of ‘eternal values’ eternally offers incessant clarity. Wisdom empowers clarity in the vision/gaze (drishti) so that it reigns supreme.

Becoming drishta (seer & scientist rolled-in-one) can be the attainment of human individual alone, it can neither be the attribute nor attainment of Artificial Intelligence. Ideal goal of Indic Wisdom is  that every individual residing on earth becomes drishta/visionary/yogi. This may transform the earth into an enlightened democracy. And, this transformation is possible through the right education.

Transition from ‘universal values’ to ‘eternal values’ is a global need now. We must march towards spirituality (deeper-consciousness) and anything which appears as a hurdle in our marching ahead, it will be a wise decision on behalf of the global humanity to let it pass even if these are religions. The oneness (unity) of the consciousness of all people of all nations is more important than any organised religion or even organisations such as the United Nations, if latter has become incapable in uniting the nations. Period.

While speaking on the occasion of Pran Pratishtha of Bhagwan Ram Lalla at Ayodhya, it was asserted that “Raam Bhaarat ki aatmaa hain” (Bhagwan Raam is soul of India). Vaishvik aatmaa hee Raam hai.

Speech echoed spirit of the lovers of Bharatiyataa/Bhaartiyatva spread all across the globe. In a metaphorical sense, our soul is now firmly enshrined in its destined position. Therefore, we must assume our greater responsibility to manifest eternal values globally. As eternal souls, it is our spontaneous and authentic progression to assist others in finding their destined places harmoniously.

World is craving for that kind of a grand narrative which is wholeheartedly and spontaneously capable of accommodating all the cultures, religions, civilisations and, knowledge traditions same way, as the sky accommodates all celestial phenomena.

It is human nature to stay connected. And, nothing connects earthlings in a better manner with one another than, their own ‘story of marching together’ endlessly in all circumstances. That’s why the Indic narrative of looking at the world as a family is the most needed story/narrative today. In an Artificial Intelligence driven world, family consciousness with no artificiality in all relationships alone will work as divinity in humanity. Latest chip invented in the market named ‘telepathy’ has proven that Rene Descartes got it all ‘limited’. We are not ‘limited’ to thinking/doubting/questioning/ cognising alone.

We are an unlimited wonderful soul (consciousness) that may be realised/ ‘seen’ through yogic wisdom. Body, mind and self all three of them emerge, alight and emanate from the one and only soul. These are not three separable entities in life. Spectacle of eternal wisdom may be termed as nothing less than wonderful. May all become wise! May all evolve to ‘see’ the wonder and miracle that reality is!
