This is a momentous occasion for a twin sangam as we celebrate the Human Rights Day today. First sangam is of two great seekers, scholar and objective thinkers Justice Dipak Misra, former Chief Justice of India and Prof. Bharat Gupt, Classicist, Theatre theorist, Musicologist and member of Executive Committee of IGNCA.
Second sangam is of the subject of the day, Spirituality and Human Rights. We will all take a dip in it today and come out wholesome. We look forward to knowledge and enlightenment to unfold itself, before it merges into the ocean of aakash record and YouTube to be available to us, as and when recalled by us, at our will.
Every being is created equal in as much as, it has a living spark or Purush, the spiritual constituent and a physical structure, made of Prakriti. Every human being has in addition desires, attachment, ego, emotions and intellect and that makes every human being different. Prakriti coupled with karm of some, has given rise to the issues of human rights as Homo sapiens has continued to mark towards peace and harmony.
Before the great split and the great destruction which came on the last day of Mahaabhaarat, the direction for the mankind established by Sanaatan dharm was express, clear and unambiguous. Carry on whatever activity comes to your hand, to your perfection, according to your attitude and attribute, with the clear goal, to realise the true nature of Self. The purpose of life was conscious realisation of the fact, that the true nature of Self is of bliss and ecstasy and that is the real and the only truth – satt-chitt-aanand.
The great split took place when Balraam realized that every prevailing and accepted human right and every rule of law of war was broken, courtesy Shri Krishan and as the most agitated person he walked over to Central Asia. Balram established communities who would be ruled by the books as rule of law, either follow, merge or disappear. While the open reasoned, logical system continued to prevail in Bhaarat, according to Sanaatan Dharm.
The great destruction was by the release of the Brahmaastr of Aswathaama, which he was unable to withdraw like Arjun and that destroyed the entire existing science and technology and its knowledge and understanding. The same is being retrieved and revived for last over 2,500 years from manuscripts carried away from Bhaarat to all over the world. The entire science and technology development that has taken all over the world today and has been in conflict with Spirituality and Human Rights is not even 2% of what is on the platter of the human beings.
The resultant effect of all this coupled with the arrogance, greed and ambition, to conquer and control the world, led to forgetfulness of the real purpose of life. With the losing of spirituality, the history of 2,500 years is full of wars and conquests, plunder, rape, loot and destruction of every known human right and painfully, their glorification.
For 2,500 years the world has seen the rise and fall of Alexander, Catholic missionaries, Radical Islam, Napoleon, Hitler and the like. The world saw slavery, colonization, the World War I and World War II and finally, 70 years before today, when the General Assembly of United Nations declared resolution 423(V) inviting all member states and any other interested organizations to celebrate December 10, as the Human Rights day.
This movements is choiceless, so let us all today become aware of this great convergence of Spirituality and Human Rights which have no existence in isolation like Purush and Prakriti. Prepare Generation Z to realize the true path and pass it over to Generation Alpha
