Dekh Kabira Roya - a fore cast

"For Kabira Creed"

(I had posted this fore cast with a cricket mail. Some of you liked it and wished this to be a separate post. Others wished to send it to Times of India. Some of us also complained of  its in-clarity. What I am excited about  are 'the wonderful comments' from one of my best friend because in her comments, she has clarified the message even better than me! I salute her for belonging to Kbira-creed, i.e., the rarest who manage to grow very differently from the rest despite a lot of pressure from peers and the society.   I had included her reflections in the beginning before the main article.)

Hello Gajendra,
Kabir an enlightened soul
“DEKH KABIRA ROYA” – is an excellent commentary.

Truly as u mention much of our country’s vital force is wasted in predicting, gambling,and in non productive activities, as there is lack of vision, orientation and good leaders. Just to quote from your article:

“They (read generations to come) will be surprised to note that people of our generation were 'addicted to information' like a narcotic-addiction. They will discover that almost 80% of our energy used to go in acquiring, securing, leaking, controlling, handling (or mishandling like wiki-leaks) of absurd information of the past and the present. And rest 20 % was wasted in attempts to know, foretell the future-info and also to bet on the same........Had our forefathers been not information addicted they would have tasted the bliss, the truth and the cosmic consciousness of this nature. And would have saved them from creating misery and mess around.”  - a Quote from Dekh Kabira Roya.

Very well said Gajendra, I am deeply touched by your insight. I pity on people who call information as power, unaware of their own consciousness, there is a whole of bhramanand inside us, but gone is the courage to tap on it. Today, its more interesting in making weapons out of other’s weakness, masala out of disaster and manipulate almost anything on cost of earning few thousands and loosing on much precious consciousness.

This commentary of yours should go to the Times of India- speaking tree. Many more can dwell on it.

Tell me one thing , if few fools can mishandle IT for manipulation, forecasting, leaking, controlling, hypocrisy, masking, falsehood , marketing and selling… why cant IT be turned inside out for better motives like education, value building, constructive work… atleast IT and ramdev is doing good to a few lakhs… I appreciate u for using your time constructively for building a better education system and simultaneously enhancing your knowledge and wisdom. Inspiring indeed!!

Original forecast 
"Dekh Kabira Roya"

After, say, thousand years, the enlightened generations of humanity will discover many surprising and painful facts about us (their forefathers). They will be surprised to note that people of our generation were 'addicted to information' like a narcotic-addiction. Almost 80% of our energy used to go in acquiring, securing, leaking, controlling, handling (or mishandling like wiki-leaks)  of absurd information of past and present. And rest 20 % was wasted in attempts to foretell ( future-information ) and to bet on the same.  Only a .0001 % was used for any constructive and creative endeavors.
Wisdom Technology
This addiction was somewhere genetically rooted  -a sickness to cover self with layers of under or upper garments (censure or hide own-facts with layers of hypocrisy, silence and false-masking) but at the same time to strive and rejoice to see others naked (read exposed). Further, this addiction was deep-rooted in three insecurities (financial, physical and social). How this addiction prevented us to see the simple facts or the truth of nature and how we usually created own arbitrary fantasies??? - will surprise them the most. The only truth about our fantasies was that they were lived up by majority, by the masses - by the the addicted masses. The result was a total mess around in all spheres be it bio-sphere, knowledge, human or atmosphere.

For example, instead of accepting the fact that this nature has tremendous for all and can produce tremendous for everyone...provided that...we root us in our sincere-self instead of mad thriving!!! Missing this simple fact, our info-addicted generation imagined fantasies like "struggle for survival", "Survival of the fittest"...placing the lives opposed and in struggle to each other once and forever.

Alas! There were two forms of 'struggle' prevalent: 1. Hard labor just to sustain life, 2. And  Managing information in one's favor. Besides above two groups there was an elite group as well, who just used to play with this addiction of the info addicted creatures (so called humans). Namely, politicians and entertainers. - handful of people who exploited the rest first by addicting them and then by manipulating info. This manipulation word does not apply on persona like Mallika, who is more straight and open in intentions.

Surprisingly, they will name our era 'Information Era' as we boastfully say it 'Information Technology (IT) era'. But in their usage, word 'information' will be used in a very derogatory and disgusting sense !!! Like 'Miserable Information Creature Era (MICE)'. Do you know what these future generation will call their own era??? 'Wisdom Technology (WT) Era'.  
They will conclude their report in this gratitude and grief as below:

Had our forefathers been not information addicted they would have tasted the bliss, the truth and the cosmic consciousness of this nature. And would have saved them from creating misery and mess around.
.........X...X.....X..X......X

To my agony, I feel, I have been fore-placed by thousands of years on this planet to take birth in IT era. Yes, I also hate IT but aspire for WT!!! If you also feel the same then you belong to rare creed called  'Kabira-Creed' : Below is the specialty of Kabira creed in the words of enlightened Kabir:

Sukhiya sab sansaar hai khaabe or sobe
Dukhiya ek kabir hai, Jaage or robe!!!
- Saint Kabir Das.
("Slept and drunken in deep addiction this whole world is happy except Kabir. Kabir keeps awake and grieves at such a frenzied state all around.")

  2. Gajendraji, as always your article is very touching. As always you have touched on what India needs.
    Of late, I have been observing about us Indians.
    1. Indians are very talented.
    2. There is no dearth of talent, brain.
    3. We want to do for the country.

    In spite of all this, yes, in spite of all this, INDIA is in a misery. Its miseries haven't reduced but grown more over time.

    Why?

    Because we do not know what INDIA needs. Children do not know what their mother needs.

    Most of us think that our mother needs money. If it were true, for last 20 years, most of us thought that our mother needed money. But in last 20 years, money going into innumerable scams proved that our mother doesn't need money primarily. Our problems only increased. It made our hearts filled with false pride,helplessness only. So, we are forced to think for something else also that INDIA may need. And, we find that that something else is primary. If it were secondary, we would not be disturbed so much. Would we? Never.

    IT is popular because it brings in quick money opportunities. But it did not reduce problems of either people who encouraged it, nor who got involved in it.

    India needs education. We find we are all B.Techs, M.Techs, MCAs, etc...with no inclination towards basics of these things - namely technology, computers, etc...Picking From edusaar's homepage, I am saying that we have strongly learnt how to become puppets...puppets who know how to run the show. But a puppet may never come to know why he was put in there. It may always remain blind-folded and may run the show with appreciation from those owners whose show it is running. MONEY REDUCED OUR APPETITE FOR LEARNING BASICS.

    SO, WE FIND OURSELVES AT A JUNCTURE WHERE UNLEARNING IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT TO BREAK THE SHACKLES. THIS UNLEARNING CAN ONLY COME IN BY KNOWING WHAT TO LEARN NEW that has power
    1. to exactly tell us, yes, this is what is to be learnt.
    2. Unlearn the 'kachra' already stored in the mind.

    Both these need to happen.

    So, in spite of possessing wonderful above 3 mentioned qualities of Indians, Indians are weak. Now I see what is the IMPORTANCE OF DIRECTION. Talent (discovery) is different from applying (direction). Atom bombs are created by talent, money is made by talent, but world/characteris destroyed by its usage in wrong direction.

    ACCURATE DIRECTION IS WHAT IS NEEDED. GOAL SHOULD BE EXCELLENCE. EXCELLENCE LIES IN TRUTH AND TRUTH ONLY(no where else).

    WHERE are we today:
    A Richard Attenborough only can best 'Gandhi'. A foreigner (trained in Indian systems of education/health/life) needs to come and tell us that ayurveda/yoga are good for you. Until then we know things but do not feel them so that we can learn to be humble to imbibe them.

  3. Very thought-provoking and touching the soul. It again reaffirms that true message is best exposed in its naked (natural) form....Without true message we will all be blind folded to reality. Time to observe caution - > from the article ".....How this addiction prevented us to see the simple facts or the truth of nature and how we usually created own arbitrary fantasies??? - will surprise them the most".
