Sutra
From Aadam to Aadmi to Manushya
We are born as adam or aadami. And the journey from man to Human is only possible when we use the means as means. Sex is a means , a vehicle to procreate. But man has abused this vital energy for centuries. After putting it to its right use, this vital energy is to be used to give birth to oneself. Oorja jo baahar ki ore behti hai toh yaun kehlati hai. Oorja jo swayam ki ore behti hai who yog ( JOD) kehlaati hai.
Samaaj maatra ek vyavastha hai chetna ko viksit karne ke liye. It is only a means to develop a consciousness. We have misused this vehicle too. We cling to it in such a manner that we totally forget who we are and why we are here. We become inwardly dependent and tradition has a great hold on us , and a mind that thinks along traditional lines cannot discover the truth. We are only mediocre imitators, mere cogs in a cruel social machine.
Organised religion is a vehicle to be used by man to traverse from the seed of possibility that he is to the fruit that Krishna, Ram, Mahavir, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammad, Kabir, Nanak, Dadu, Rahim, Meera, Ramkrishna Paramhamsa, G. l, Gurdjieff, Ouspensky and more lately, Maharshi Raman, Sri Aurobindo, J. Krishnamurti became. The list is endless but man is happy to become just a worshiper and end the beautiful opportunity he is bestowed with at birth.
Opinion and tradition mould our thoughts from the tenderest of age. The immediate influences and impressions produce an effect which is powerful and lasting and which shapes the whole course of our conscious and unconscious life. Conditioning and conformity begins in childhood through education and the impact of society.
The desire to imitate is a very strong factor in our life, not only at the superficial levels but also profoundly. We are incapable of any thoughts and feelings. When they do occur they are mere reactions and not free from the established patterns.
Are we humans? No, we are machines.
