I
often in my write-ups only write about the problems and I know most of us do know
the problems and we are looking for solutions! But, firstly the idea of mine is
always to identify the problem and go into the cause. Once we know the cause we
can start working upon the solutions. There are straight ways which will lead us
to the solutions of any problem, but we are afraid of taking that path, because
we’ve created the problem and now we are afraid of the society or colleagues or
may be family members what they will think if they come to know that I have
created the problem.
Most
of the times after committing mistakes we think no one will come to know and
we’ll move out of it without someone noticing it. That’s where we make another
mistake. It is exactly like I have a secret which I am telling to everyone who is
my friend, family member or someone close to me and after narrating the secret
I will conclude with this sentence “remember
this is between me and you only”. And believe me what we think most of the
time about our secret as a big secret turn out to be a general issue which
occurs with most of us. There are still some secrets which considered being a real
secret - 99% we never disclose it to anyone. And these types of secrets are
there with everyone lives on this planet none of us being spared from it.
Now
exactly the same concept we can apply to the issues related to bigger problem
of the society and here I am talking about matters which are related to the
nation and the countrymen One of the examples from the present time we can give
is this pandemic C-19, every government is hiding the real data or probably
they don’t have the real time data. This practice is being applied world over
and the history tells us it is always like this since ancient time. The reason
for this is given initially that if we release or tell the real data to the
subjects, they will get scared and there is a possibility of civil unrest. Here
I would say just refer to the past whenever someone have revealed the truth to their
subjects - people have always revolted against him, his regime or the system.
Everyone knows the truth it is only they don’t react until they realize the intensity
of the threat on their lives and the lives of their loved once.
It
is all about taking people into your confidence and that confidence will come
when you will trust the person’s ability and give an opportunity to prove
him/herself. Every individual suffers with one syndrome called self-obsession
you might disagree with me but even the so called Holy saints were also
suffered from this syndrome. The recent example would be of Osho Rajneesh he
declared himself a “Bhagwan” but when
a controversy occurred on his commune in US he blamed “Sheela” for everything.
I don’t want to go in details about happenings in his commune which made US
government fumed so badly, that they put him and Sheela behind bars for many
years. Here my point is even the so called great human beings also suffer from
this self-obsessed syndrome and that proves they are not enlightened at all. Everyone
makes mistakes and it is more about accepting the fault instead of hiding it
from the others because hiding is not the solution. Great people in the past
have made blunders but they were brave enough to admit their faults.
This
is what has been taught to us in “Vedas,
Puranas, Upnishads” etc. don’t become
obsessed of yourself, you are not immortal accept your mistakes and work
towards rectification of it, you will achieve the “Moksha” or liberation. I now all this probably will not make much
of sense to masses because we only like the stories being told to us by someone
about someone else and they have achieved that salvation by that, but when we
have to apply this on ourselves we’ll be saying let me finish my present goal
of becoming something and then I will follow this path. And by that time there
are only two possibilities left with you either that time never comes or it is
too late.
If
you are really a wise man believe me things around you will always be intoxicated
