Evolution of God

The classroom is all quite and everybody is busy with their last minute presentation that has to be made. There are no teachers ,only students working hard. The time to show the results of their creation has come.
The speaker in the room came alive. They never knew where it came from or whose voice it was. they are about to know. The voice said "All of you were assigned an important work ,and i hope the results are all ready with you. As you know we are in the process of perfecting the art of creation and that is where you god's are helpful. Each of you were given a single atom(not the scientific atom, but that indivisible particle or energy from which everything else is made) and were asked to create infinity from it. The results were encouraging but it seems some of the god's had problem in culminating this infinity into the atom back again. Well as you understand nothing is perfect, and since this statement has to be perfect to make the statement true, there should be some perfection and our goal has been to achieve it ,and there is a perfect standing among you and who it is what we are to know. Everybody please maintain discipline and no unruly behavior or emotions are allowed. Let their be darkness!!"


The presentations started. The first god given the atom created infinity and like everybody else created some worlds but has took perfect control of the world and soon the world was very happy hence he couldn't learn anything from it .everybody were happy and everybody were ignorant. Aptly he summed it up in his presentation saying "ignorance is a bliss". If the purpose of knowing is not to know then one should not know that knowing exists. If he knows not to know then he knows. Hence "ignorance is a bliss" is a contradiction and will be bliss only to lazy god's.
The anti thesis was produced. The worlds created and the simulation started but this time the god went to see his favorite movie while his creation was being created or evolving. By the time he returned to his surprise the cosmos was again an atom He didn't know what happened and couldn't produce anything other then one slide which said "Thank You".
The next god was more eloquent. He was jovial, loud and clear. He started. "I created the 'universe'. That is how my creation is popularly called by the ones whom i created. The atom given to me is identified with "c0s1008" which is the universe. I didn't have the initial creation process as a gradual one instead i was in a hurry to get the results so i gave a small touch, which i know is forbidden to do..and this small touch is generally referred as the big bang in my universe. I didn't create many sects of organic creatures endowed with intelligence. I didn't go by the common sense way of having more information with me, I focused only on the knowledge part. Only one creation was allowed to think. It is the human. The human species i had to endow them with intelligence and some arrogance to, they should one time feel humble in front of me for the intelligence i bestowed upon them and at the same time they should be arrogant about their intelligence and hence they believed they are in the image of me and they worshipped themselves when they wanted to pray to me. I have given them free will and all the time took good observations for my experimental study. With just humans thinking the information i had to deal with was quite decreased. I had to somehow make them busy and let them think all the time, since they are my only creatures that can think. So i induced pain , in order to get rid off this pain they always had to be busy and they always had to be fed with some input and the output was very easily processed. In between i had to visit them some times because the pain was too much for them to bear at times. Put pressure but sometimes you have to relieve them of the pressure else they won't know pressure is there. I went and put some eternal utopias in their mind. Whenever they were inching closer in knowing their is no utopia or heaven i had to intervene and again give them pleasure. Each time my intervention had to be innovative. am called by different names according to the method i employed in my intervention. I evolved a lot from those experiences. My humans think that they are evolving, instead they don't realize I am evolving. They think I am perfect they don't realize they are perfect and I am learning from them. I created them no doubt but perfection comes from imperfection and not vice versa. My project has been completed successfully and all my observations, conclusions have all been put up. This has been a very good experience to me and the atom cos1008 has been submitted to our laboratory and it would be soon kept in cold storage. The video of creation, ruling and the destruction that has followed has all been put up in our video repository and since you all agreed in your minds. I am now perfect. Best of luck everybody else."

friendship vs Love

The word "versus" which i used in the short form in the title wouldn't be very appealing as friendship and love are never really against each other. There is an hypocrisy which is attached to both of these qualities which makes me use the word "versus".
Accept it or not love is rare .Experiencing the experience of being loved for no reason whatsoever is quite rare. It is more improbable then mice ruling us from their burrows inside the earth. I am talking about unconditional love. Strictly speaking no qualifying term or an adjective like "unconditional" be used to describe love, but the everyday attack on our minds about the definitions and meanings and experiences about love makes me use such adjectives. It is certainly rare that when most of our lives are spent as selfish, greedy, irrational creatures there is something like love which we are capable of, but mind u it is rare . If you don't accept to it's rarity then i have to say all best things have to be rare ,else why crave or celebrate a very common thing. A brute or a king kong may show what we would like to call love, but that brute cannot be in that state forever and as long as state changes so does the "precious" feelings and what we previously referred to as love has become very much bound by time. Time changes so do the feelings hence love.
Now, the friendship which i believe is what means more to many people then this "love" ,after all friends are forever. The friends one makes are first of all are mostly the class mates, colleagues or the ones whom u spent your childhood with. Iam sad for so many other souls who can't go to classes and hence cannot understand this.I guess they are too busy working for one meal a day and are not to be burdened with friends and lovers. Other then class mates who are friends only because you are familiar .Leave som 50 people of the same age group in a lonely island i guess many frriends will be thanking god for giving them so many friends. Friendship is a safety net in the society . In all probablity no body loves everything about himself and the society he lives in. I am pathetic in defining what friendship is like ,so i assume those who read this blog have some friends and i don't assume you have a lover or not since it is of no use to me.
We have all grown up with the adage that what we don't have are like the sour grapes. What do we do in this case ? Make love very common, it is the sour grapes and eat the ones that are available on the ground, friendship and then start celebrating it as the best thing to happen and even go to the ridiculous extent of praising the latter more then the former.
LOVE is unchallenged in terms of all the other qualities that a human possibly can have. Love needs no opposites to support it. Though the previous two statements where just statements with no proof backing them, they really follow my premise of love being rare hence it has to be unchallenged. As we see in daily lives hating is so much easy to us and if love really has the opposite called hate and if hate is easy so does love. The world is dualistic (this fact is very much established) everything occurs in pairs and hence if love has the opposite called hate and hate is easy then love has to be easy or very common. I asserted that love is not common but very rare hence it cannot have any opposite.

Even trying it compare or qualifying a friendship with love is something a person who did not experience love.

Life has to be crazy and unnatural only then the joy remains in life and love certainly provides that unnaturalness and the craziness which are missing in everyday selfish and boring lives.

escape

incoherent clapping,defeaning noise
melodious guitar
power the objects behold on us
strings change so do the emotions
slower the plucking ,rapid is the swinging of mind
strumming picks up,body rises,rolls,rocks
drums beat, eardrums resonate, mind tunes, eyes closed
the stairway to heaven is visible
chains of the soul let loose
it ascends,ascends
the key to the heaven's door it never knew
knock! knock!
the lost paradise reached
everything is eternal
need more! need more!
heaven becomes hell
the plectrum tries it doesn’t impress
the song recedes
the drumbeat dies
Let me escape! let me escape!

The gaurdian.

The word intelligence is synonymous in doing something which the majority would generally be not capable to do so. There has been a time in my life when i believed solving mathematic problems or the ability to solve them efficiently is a manifestation of intelligence , as time passed the subject changed but not the idea it moved onto physics .. but there has been a growth or a decline which i now don't like to ponder over and that is me growing beyond such petty intelligence measuring metrics.
What is the weapon of a tiger? or an elephant and compared to them what does man have ? .. Only when the tiger runs and hunts one sees the strength it has and an elephant in its exhibition of its raw power but for a man, many identify it with brain ..since brain is a very biological necessity ..most of us believe we all have that weapon, but intelligence is wat makes the difference ..Every brainy creature on the earth is not intelligent.
But what is intelligence? the discriminating power between the useful and the not useful, very childishly good or bad. Assuming this definition is having intelligence or the sheer discriminating power which is achieved through knowledge, through the study of surroundings everything one should try to achieve?. What is the limit wherein after intelligence fails?
It depends on whether one sees himself different from intelligence or identifies with it.. This intellect is often confused as the integral you(I am intellect) ,but what does the intellect really do ? We say a snake's weapon is the power of poisoning, show is it integral with snake ,should the snake identify itself with the poison in the way as we do i can bite so many people i can produce a lot of poison iam a success . Is that the way fpr a snake to think? It is simple to see that for a snake when it thinks like that it is only maximizing it's survival time. the will to live, the will to live is higher motive to which the poison or the biting power serve to . Does intelligence serves to anything else other then this.? the will to live.

A sloka in gita is a good remembrance

krodhàdbhavati saümohaþ saümohàt smçtivibhramaþ |
smçtibhraü÷àd buddhinà÷o buddhinà÷àt praõa÷yati ||

From anger comes delusion, from delusion the loss of memory; from loss of memory the destruction of discrimination; from destruction of discrimination he perishes. Gita Ch. II-63.

Everybody who reads or explains this sloka concentrate more on the anger part and give the very impossible alternative of asking people not to be angry or curb their feelings inside and look peaceful outside ..but if we see the last line "from destruction of discrimination he perishes" so what is really needed is intelligence should never be left , the discriminating power should ever be there. Intelligence is to developed through knowledge .Hence in any activity knowledge is a necessity .

If our body is a house. All the servants in them are are our qualities moving around , the one who guards the door is the intelligence the one which saves the entity from perishing. How strong the door keeper is depends on how we train it to be.

So i come to the conclusion where knowledge is limited to the footstep of my house. Is that the limit for intelligence and knowledge? .It is yes . Inside the house the master remains oblivious of all these , once he starts identifying himself with one of these servants the only thing remains is misery and a weak body which rests on something for its identity .The strongest identity is not having identity .Guess why we pray to that nameless ,formless, attribute less .. identity .. GOD.

Now logicians may question the assumption about my comparison of body with house? but iam no linguistic hotshot to put everything logically pleasing to the intelligence , which infact is what iam talking about.

Intelligence is very important and at the same time not at all useful.
