The greatest curse of human civilization: auspicious in the service of the unlucky

- Landscape-Subhash Bhatt

- If immortality is found, self-power goes, if happiness is found, conscience goes, if number is found, truth goes.

Someone asks, 'What is the greatest curse on human civilization today?' So the answer is 'good in the service of the unlucky, truth in the job of untruth, policy in the market of unrighteousness.' Why is that So we get a character as his descendant. His name is Faust. He is the character of the great poet Goethe and Christopher Marlowe. In the fifteenth century, Faust was a learned astronomer. He made a covenant with Satan for his power, security, safety, immortality, signed with his own blood. He surrendered his spirit and conscience to Satan, as a condition of the covenant. Today it has become a fast myth. Even today when one accepts immorality, unrighteousness, antisocial, inauspicious for one's own desires, aspirations, cravings, lusts, it is known as 'Faustkarar'.

When someone gives a reassurance-guarantee, we submit the self-essence-self-power formed through intellect-reasoning-thought, so that our question, dialogue and freedom go away. As if, if we submit our thoughts, reflections and visions, he will think, make choices and make decisions on our behalf. Happiness is found as part of the covenant. But one does not have the wisdom to know whether it is happiness or not. Perhaps, the amount of such guarantee is too high in religion and education.

See: If immortality is found then self-power is gone, if happiness is found then conscience is gone, if number is found then truth is gone. Noah Harari, the epitome of modern civilization, sees modernity as a bargain. He says that when a person rushes to download a software and signs it without reading the last page, it is convenient for him and at the same time he has the meaningful power to doubt, question or challenge the person. He doesn't have to ask questions about meaning-purpose-just to have fun-to have fun.

"We are conquering ourselves, not the summit," said Edmund Hillary, who climbed Everest. In order to win this, we must stop bartering. The social bargain of acceptance against our goodness, respect against honesty, security against love and slavery against justice must be stopped.

At stake, obviously, is our commitment on character, dedication, talent, creativity, the voice of distance, and so on. Unfortunately, we are not interested in the process, we are not interested in the outcome, we are not interested in learning the path of wandering, we are just reaching out. We have not found the joy of creation so we crave rewards. Apparently, many people have gone out to sell their wares in the flea market, whatever the price! Of course, there are wonderful exceptions.

We must constantly examine the limits of the self. We must ask ourselves tirelessly: How far can I go to accumulate power and wealth and achieve success and security? What is my point of no return? Life is the sum of options, choices and decisions. The Upanishads teach us two words: love and credit. That is, what we love and what we are blessed with. Sometimes we don't have the credit for our desired, desired, longing. That is why the pain-challenges for credit are desirable rather than bargaining for love. The real test of our vision is our life. Aflatoon Sahir Ludhianvi says:

Le deke apne paas fakt ek najar to hai,

Kayu dekhe jindagi ko kisi ki najar se hum.
