Can Radical Ideas be Practical Ideas ?

How can anyone imagine that radical ideas are useful !!!

Radical ideas suffer from an unsaid ‘inderstanding’ among the knowledgable….that such ideas are not worth the paper they are written on ! ( ….or shall we say…in todays world…that radical ideas are not  even worth the blog/website page… they are written on )

But let us pause and ask why ?

Why are radical ideas worthless ?

Are they ???

Search inside your heart…or in the history books…or on a web pedia….

…you’ll at least get an answer….a part answer…..

It is not the idea that is seen as a worthless thing….

….it is the rebel/radical who propogates the idea….

…since a radical cannot please the non-radical and a rebel would not like to adjust the bow-tie of the system…the idea is seen as a threat…not as worthless !!!

…And that is probably the whole story…..!!! …The complete answer !!!!!

SPIRITUAL GURUS….ARE THEY REALLY NEEDED ?

  ABOUT GURUS….contd.

An excerpt from the interview with Andrew Cohen (http://www.andrew-cohen)…. a celebrated spiritual guru….who, I genuinely  think, talks a great deal of sense….by the way !

Quote……

“Q: What about all the corruption so prevalent in spiritual authority today?

A: Well, obviously integrity in the spiritual teacher is absolutely crucial. But we’ve got to face the fact that unfortunately, the failure of so many gurus, priests, lamas, and monks over the last thirty or forty years may have become an easy excuse for us all to let ourselves off the hook. They have made it all too easy for us to become cynical, to arrogantly conclude that we know better and don’t require any help from anyone.

You see, the problem is that when we lost our faith, we also lost our humility. It’s also important to understand that the main reason that the concept of a guru is such a tough one in our culture is that we postmodern narcissists just hate hierarchy. We don’t like anyone to be higher than us! It’s often hard for even very intelligent people to admit that higher levels of development actually exist.”

 Unquote…..

There are two simple things I wish to state on this……

Gurus have been irresponsible….or wily….or manipulative…..how many ?….what percentage ?…..noone knows !….but the general phenomena is quite (sadly) revealing !

 

Other thing is….if we have to learn ….evolve….improve….in this ‘life-skill’….it should be like any other teacher-student relationship….!

…this hierarchy…..or shall I say blind-worship is un called for !

….respect is OK ! more than OK !….but hierarchy ?….sounds outrageous ! If this is arrogance? ….then what is subtle ego-play ? 

…but first let us find out a genuine guy ! (oops…guru !)

Spiritual Gurus …are real ‘gurus’ of deception !!!

                           “GURUS OF DECEPTION”

We talk of empowerment of human beings….they talk of dependence and total surrender !

We talk of self esteem…self confidence and self worth…

They talk of belittling yourself in front of a GURU….even falling at his feet !

We talk of becoming a good human…

They talk of the glory of ’self-less’ path towards salvation !

We talk of creativity and out of box thinking….

They talk of repeating a ‘mantra’….a thousand times in a day !

We talk of positive ego….and contribution to the mankind….

They talk of ‘ego-less ness’….and becoming a  salvation-seeking parasite !!!

We know that we have shortcomings…and we would like to improve !

They pose as if they are flawless….but everyday ’scandals’….and a subtle ego-display….definitely points towards their deception !

Please comment…..

Dilemma of a creative ‘misfit’ !

 

Dilemma

I want to see the trees…some birds and some flowers

   I wish to write a poem on these lovely …monsoon showers !

 

I want to run along the winding river… down till the bend

     I wish to  spend my life….with these thoughts…till the end !

 

But Who is going to understand….yes who shall approve

    if I do not fall in the line …if I am out of groove !

 

I wish to create……I wish to rejoice !

   But these hard market realities….do they leave me any choice !?!
