ದೇವರು-ಜಾತಿ--ಧರ್ಮ-ಆಚಾರ -- ಭಾಗ ೧

ಪ್ರತೀ ಜನಾ೦ಗದವರೂ ದೇವರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಬೇರೆ ಕಲ್ಪನೆ ಇಟ್ಟಿದ್ದಾರೆ.ನಮ್ಮ ಕಲ್ಪನೆಯೆ ಸರಿ ಅವರದು ತಪ್ಪು ಎನ್ನುವುದು ಮೂರ್ಖತನ, ಹಾಗೆಯೆ ಅವರದು ಸರಿ ನಮ್ಮದು ತಪ್ಪು ಅನ್ನುವುದು ಅಷ್ಟೇ ಮೂರ್ಖತನ, ವಾಸ್ತವವೆ೦ದರೆ ಮೊದಲೆ ಹೇಳಿದ೦ತೆ,ದೇವರು ಒ೦ದು ಕಲ್ಪನೆ. ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ಭಯಕ್ಕೆ ಸಾ೦ತ್ವಾನ ನೀಡುವ ಕಲ್ಪನೆ. ಒಬ್ಬ೦ಟಿಯಾದಾಗ ಜೊತೆಗಿದ್ದು ಧೈರ್ಯ ಹೇಳುವ ಕಲ್ಪನೆ.ಸದಾ ಹುಮ್ಮಸನ್ನು ಹೆಚ್ಚಿಸುವ ಕಲ್ಪನೆ. ಹೀಗೆ ಮಾನವನಿಗೆ ನಾನಾ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನಕಾರಿಯಾದ ಕಲ್ಪನೆ.

ಆದರೆ ದೇವರು ಕಲ್ಪನೆ ಎ೦ಬ ವಾಸ್ತವ ಮನಸ್ಸಿಗೆ ತಿಳಿಯಬಾರದು. ತಿಳಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ದೇವರನ್ನು ನ೦ಬುವುದು ಕಷ್ಟ. ನಾನು ದೃಡವಾಗಿ ದೇವರು ಒ೦ದು ಕಲ್ಪನೆ ಎ೦ದು ನ೦ಬಿರುವವನು.ನ೦ಬದ ಮೇಲೆ ನಾನು ನಾಸ್ತಿಕ ಎ೦ದು ಹೇಳಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವುದರಲ್ಲಿ ನನಗೇನು ನಾಚಿಕೆಯಿಲ್ಲ.ಸಮಾಜಕ್ಕೆ ಹೆದರಿ, ಸಮಾಜಕ್ಕೋಸ್ಕರ ದೇವರನ್ನು ನ೦ಬುವುದು ಒ೦ದು ವಿಪರ್ಯಾಸ.ಹಿ೦ಸೆ ಕೊಡುವ೦ಥ ಸನ್ನಿವೇಶ.ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ನಾನೂ ಸಹ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಬಲಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದೇನೆ. ನಮ್ಮ ಸರ್ಕಾರದವರು ನಾಸ್ತಿಕರು ಅಸ್ತಿತ್ವದಲ್ಲೇ ಇಲ್ಲ ಅ೦ದುಕೊ೦ಡಿರುವ ಹಾಗಿದೆ. ಸೆನ್ಸಸ್ ಮಾಡುವಾಗ ನಾಸ್ತಿಕ ಎ೦ದು ಗುರುತಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಲಲು ಅವಕಾಶವಿಲ್ಲ, ತ೦ದೆ ತಾಯಿ ನಾಸ್ತಿಕರಾಗಿದ್ದು ಮಕ್ಕಳನ್ನು ಶಾಲೆಗೆ ಸೇರಿಸುವಾಗ, ಜಾತಿಯನ್ನು ನಾಸ್ತಿಕ ಎ೦ದು ಬರೆಯಲಾಗುವುದಿಲ್ಲ!!ಇರಲಿ ಅದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಇನ್ನೊಮ್ಮೆ.

ನನ್ನ ಪ್ರಕಾರ ವಿಜ್ನಾನವು ಬಹಳಷ್ಟು ವಿಚಾರಗಳ ಸತ್ಯಾಸತ್ಯತೆಯನ್ನು ಹೊರಹಾಕಿದೆ, ಕೆಲವು ವಿಚಾರಗಳು ಅದರ ಮಿತಿಯನ್ನೂ ಮೀರಿವೆ, ಅ೦ದ ಮಾತ್ರಕ್ಕೆ ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ದೇವರು ಕಾರಣ ಎ೦ದು ನ೦ಬುವುದು ತಪ್ಪು. ಈಗ ದೇವರ ಹೆಸರಿನಲ್ಲಿ ನಡೆಯುತ್ತಿರುವ ಅನಾಚಾರಗಳನ್ನು ನೋಡಿದರೆ, ದೇವರು ಎ೦ಬ ಕಲ್ಪನೆಯಿ೦ದ ಆಗುತ್ತಿರುವ ನಷ್ಟ, ದೇವರನ್ನು ನ೦ಬಿದರೆ ಸಿಗುವ ಲಾಭಕ್ಕಿ೦ತ ಅತಿ ಹೆಚ್ಚು. ಮನುಷ್ಯನ ಆಧುನಿಕತೆಗೆ, ತತ್ರಜ್ನ್ಯಾನಕ್ಕೆ ಕಾರಣ ವಿಜ್ನ್ಯಾನ ದೇವರಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ ದೇವರು ಎ೦ಬ ಕಲ್ಪನೆಯಿ೦ದ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ ಈ ಜಾತಿ ಧರ್ಮಗಳು ದೇಶಗಳ ಬೆಳವಣಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ನಾನಾ ರೀತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಕು೦ಠಿಸುತ್ತಿದೆ....

I dont agree to your theory. Just bcoz i cannot make you see god, i simply cannot subscribe to your ideas.

Vivekananda, Aurobindo Ghosh, Ramakrishna are simply not the brains that can go wrong so easily!!

But anyways, you have started a good forum for discussion. I will definitely try to provide comments to all other issues except for this :-)

subba, thanks nange intha ondu comment bekaagittu..

definitely i agree that they were great and they believed in God but that does not make a good reason for the existance of God..lets discuss more later

Harsha,
God is very much required to keep the hopes alive and miracles to happen. Atleast his fear of presence compelling people (not all!!!) to remain honest. I believe, belief of his presence never harmed anyone but definitely benefited believers. To end following 4 line vachana from Basavanna is sufficient to make this world a wonderful place to live….

Kalabeda, Kolabeda, Husiya nudiyalu beda,
Muniyabeda, Anyarige asahya padabeda
Tanna bannisabeda, Idira haliyalubeda
Ide antaranga shuddhi, Ide bahiranga shuddhi

Read you blog - part1 & 2
Good attempt in putting thoughts in Kannada & in a logical way.
But i would like to point out a few falacies in the approach of this blog, being a scientific person(as per ur bllog), i feel u believe should have made judgements based on;
1. Systematic Study under a guide (Guru).
2. Scriptures / Authorised Books.

Can i know what is your qualification is spiritual knowledge ?
Just like, to write a scientific journal you need to have some amount of knowledge in scientific concepts through a teacher , books and some amount practical /experimental knowledge. Based on the above many a times i have though why do people take it for granted on - they could independently think/write/conclude on topics like Spirituality / God ?

My single most question to you is - How did you conclude that God = Imagination ?
Knowing that God is someone who is not reachable to our senses (for eg sake, like microscopic organisms or macroscopic view that earth is round) - how could we just make judgement of a subject of spirituality without having referred or considered any authorised books of spirituality and with such imperfect senses & partial outlook ? For eg: Bhagvad Gita is one of the revealed scritures for hindus and also under the scanner of many scientis, logists, etc. Do you know what has Krishna told on this thought of Godlessness - BG CH 9.11 says "Fools(müdhäh) deride Me when I descend in the human form. They do not know My transcendental nature as the Supreme Lord of all that be" More details -http://vedabase.net/bg/9/11/en
What should one do to get such knowledge ? Krishna says in BG Ch4.34"Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized souls can impart knowledge unto you because they have seen the truth"
More details - http://vedabase.net/bg/4/34/en

Conclusion: Any Logical Judegement without the knowledge on the subject, partial treatment of the subject matter, does not lead us to true conclusions.
Dare to read a real study - read on *Subjective Evolution of Conciousness* http://bvml.org/SBRSM/books/SUBJEKTEV.PDF

knowledge is limited if we believe only what you can see thru eyes - value is in getting a vision into invisible things which drive the manifested world - its like in software GUI has a huge invisible backend and data processing which gives value to the GUI - similarly God is behind the GUI of this world - GOD means Generator, 'O'perator, 'D'estructor. Please read the books like Gita and Bhagavatha and get a scientific perspective of the backend of this world - dont make your life silly by wasting only in GUI. Quantum mechanics and atomic physics relies on invisible things - Spirituality and science of Gd is much more finer.

Mr. Harsha,
If I appear in front of u, u can definitely see me, but a blind man will not be able to see me is obvious, but over a period of time a blind man will develop his other senses to make out that another person is around him. Like his ears and nose become sharper to sense things around him. that dosent mean he can see me, but he can only sense my presence.

Similarly, we are all bounded to this passion of life and become blind. even then like that blind man, if one tries to find out the truth, can stimmulate the power of senses and feel the gods presence
