VIDYA - DIVINE KNOWLEDGE

VIDYA - DIVINE KNOWLEDGE

My mother used to tell us often that we must respect Vidya-good knowledge; knowledge that can kindle light in our hearts and minds. A good teacher can only talk in that perceptive. A good teacher is the one inspires a disciple and a bad teacher finishes of a disciple. How good a teacher you  depend on how good a knowledge you gather in your life time and the training you receive from your family and peer groups.

Knowledge: Vidya: knowledge of the Divine ... the song Eternal. One feels mesmerized on the path towards God! And want to drink the nectar of Knowledge ... To give an impetus ... To have a glimpse of the Lord!! What can be more blissful than meeting the Creator eye to eye ...!

The Eternal Knowledge is totally different from the knowledge gained in the present materialistic World through usage of Science and senses provided by God. Senses help us to proceed on our Earthly journey but do not lend support to the basics of Life ... the Knowledge of Brahman, the Omnipotent Creator! Spiritual Knowledge can only be gained by those blessed few who want to unearth the secrets of God.

In modern world knowledge is a saleable commodity available for a price with no grace factor attached to it. A few teachers got this sensible light to kindle the hearts and minds of their disciple and the rest reduce to a group who sell knowledge for prestige, publicity and self promotion Knowledge holders of this group humiliate and chase the real knowledge seekers. They chase their own citizens and import knowledge holders from abroad to palaces and publicize themselves to cover up their own shortcomings and instead of giving importance to the invited knowledge holders with the influence of monopolized media houses publish images of their own family members to cover up their not so worthy image. It is difficult for ordinary citizens to understand their gimmicks and ordinary people get amused of such gimmicks but overall if we analyze we can see the thamasha they do for their own self promotion. People of Kerala are one enlightened group and they do not need imported thamashas. When real politics fail this kind of brains come forward with literate politics like how politicians stage dramas. Such  knotted brains who promote literature politics enlighten not human beings  but their own self projected mirror egos.  Malayala Manorama gives a lot of publicity for such stunts on friendly understanding.

Knowledge is such a divine thing and this segment of self promotional campaigners/ groups formed a chain around India. It is a fact that we got freedom from Britishers but still we are under the chains of our own colonial cousins. It is like a lady whose daughter pedals in drugs and drinks but prefers to write (or throw garbage on her own counterparts with no sense of shame). And Wisdom we must learn from such groups and their knowledge about wisdom we must swallow and if not they form a group and chase us away from this universe and we need will power like that of Gandhi to resist their uncivilized attack modes.. A few dignitaries (with no dignity) come forward and give us study classes about dignity after attacking other human beings.. Such knowledge holders chained India from her reflective light and origin and if we allow them to continue we remain in chains for ever. We Indians got freedom for not to be in chains of dishonest human race of Indian origin. Our freedom is such a divine fruit fought for us by respected freedom fighters and we will not surrender it to any elements who try to ransack we people of India with might or power.

According to Mahatma Gandhi
“ I do not want my house to be walled in all sides, and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any.

And he believed
“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from indomitable will

Knowledge is not such a commodity to be shown as a display piece to one imported community but to be lighted first in ones own nation with dignity. Good knowledge is like a good teacher and a good teacher will not misuse knowledge as a display piece for self promotion. And to know that first you should learn to respect each and every alphabet of knowledge with a humble mind.

  1. Promotional Campaigns, Publicity Stunts and what we read about corruption of this country. Corrupt ones walk around as heroes and we shud give them all gold medals and number one spots. Some one is some one's friend and that one will get publicity and friend of that one will get publicity. Badminton player Saina struggled for years to get publicity in India. And corrupt will get number one spot easily. Honesty in corruption or for publicity stunts. Ajay, watch and clap for such shows.

    We can not question this self promotional groups. They call you crow, cat, dog and many such varities they belong and to fight with them we shud go to their level. Corruption in this country; that is a joke. For them it is a smart profession; easy money. Knowledge for them is for sale or for self promotion. We learn nothing from them except to buy costly costumes and make up kits.
    Ajay..
