Not an Argument (A Self-critique on Contemporary Discombobulation of my Mind)

There is a chasm of fundamental difference between atheism and religion as defined by the humankind. 

When I say atheists I refer to all the men of science who need a mathematical or logical proof of life beyond our life. These are the self-proclaimed men of proof that believe that factual evidence leads to lesser evils; evidence leads to intelligent human beings behaving rationally and morality is an outcome of human evolution, from hunters to builders, rather than a faculty that draws power from a moral code of conduct defined by greater consciousness. The supernaturalistic beliefs lead to irrationality and religious zeal ultimately ending in bigotry. That's their problem with religion and hence the atheistic call for freedom from such beliefs that are non-scientific.

Religion in today's (since recorded human history) world has been reduced to belief in miracles and pestering requests for materialism from a supernatural being. The fundamental philosophy points that problem lies not in the religion but in the unquenchable desire to quickly gain earthly possessions and gratification of senses. So apparently there is a problem with the faculty of human emotions that guides us in the life. It's not a question of realignment of mind from religion to atheism or vice versa. It's a call of back to basics where the focus is on the understanding of concepts that haven't been fully understood yet; ranging from nature and purpose of existence.

As long as humans keep believing there is a problem with religion or science the fight to prove other one wrong would continue. However you cannot prove the other wrong. The two "philosophies" seem to deal with two different aspects of human existence. As physicists realized the fundamentals of Newtonian physics were incapable of explaining the unimaginable quantum world. A theory of logic is unable to explain the human psyche to continuously pursue sense in a world full of insanity. These natural sciences are limited and have evidences that help to explain certain inexplicable phenomenon. At the same time there are spiritual philosophies in Vedic religion that explain the nature of human body, mind and soul. As a student I should have the right to pursue both not get stuck in a cold war between atheists and religionists to prove other wrong. 

This is not a debate on creationist versus evolutionist. I'm not going to bash the religious freaks on the misuse of religion for their own propaganda resulting in massive discrimination within human race and gross misrepresentation of religion as malicious doctrine. Also, I'm not going to ridicule the evolutionist on their brazen desire to label religious faith as equivalent to believing in fairies then again believing a theory of evolution that includes leaps of faith such as primordial soup, tiktaalik and genes that carry the blueprints of life. Science is amazing and so are religious philosophies. Both the paths have power to bring human mind to a realization that should lead to embracing qualities like humility and knowledge (bit biased as these two are my favourites).

This is a plea to the two kinds to leave me alone. I don't want to be burdened by your continuous effort to prove other wrong. I'm awed by scientists when they talk about multiverse, wave theory, hox genes and now apparently highschoolish concepts of gravity that are explicable with equations but mysterious in nature. In the same way I'm awed by sants (संत ) that are truth seekers not miracle workers who points to theories that would raise my consciousness beyond polluted materialism and into a state of perpetual humbleness. In my own way I want to bring my life's purpose to a conclusion. On the way I'll be helped by the philosophies of science as well as religion. After all I think life is a journey of self-discovery rather than an attempt to mold into a cast of any "-ism".

Scuba Diving 36 feet deep in Goa (Surreal but Nice!)

"Surreal but nice" that's what Hugh Grant's character managed to blurt out, mesmerized by the beauty of Julia Roberts (in the movie Notting Hill ). And this was the exact thought that was running in my mind as I was rising from a depth of over 35 feet under water in the Arabian Sea near Goa, India. I had just finished my first dive (rather second dive of my first dive) with grouper fish, tailor fish - and many more - knelt at the bottom of the ocean floor and touched a ship wreck that sunk more than sixty years ago! It was a surreal experience that has left me with a feeling of self-satisfaction as well as endless curiosity. The two feelings very rarely take a house together in my mind. Probably the last time they shacked up together was when I got an admit for my Master's from State University of New York . The feeling of gliding underwater among the fishes, water pressure trying to burst your ears drums, flying over huge boulders of rocks under sea; like an un...

How not to read History? Avoiding Sophistry, Deceitfulness, and Irrational Narratives

Introduction A few days ago I wrote on how a contemporary Dharmic mind is enslaved with various narratives meant to degrade the tradition of Dharmic spiritualism (or Hinduism) and relegate the spiritual path as non-sensical, patriarchal, and regressive (i.e. against modernity). I've three examples below that show the eagerness in contemporary conversations to push this narrative. Since free speech and vaad (Sanskrit: वाद, discussion) are two-way streets so it's well within my right to share my opinion based on sound reasoning and well-established examples. And my opinion doesn't rely on the play of words (Sanskrit: सामान्य छल, quibble)) or a mere attack on the opposition (Sanskrit: वितंडा, cavil/sophistry). Just a side note, these categorizations are based on the ancient  Nyaya philosophy composed by Akṣapāda Gautama between the 6th century BCE and the 2nd century CE. Example 1 -  वितंडा / Sophistry Buddhism and Sanatana Dharma have a long history of coexistence and assim...

9000 days of destiny

I was wondering about my doubts and prejudices I have at this stage of life. It is in human trait to suffer from these emotions. But history has given enough evidence to form a case when humans have risen beyond their flaws I recently saw the movie "Invictus". It is based on the true events that lead to South African national rugby team, the Springboks, winning the 1995 rugby world cup. The movie shows how two persons from completely different backgrounds rose above their beliefs and prejudices to unite a country broken by apartheid. These were South African President Mr. Nelson Mandela and the captain of the South African rugby team Francois Pienaar.  Clint Eastwood directed this movie. It stars Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as Francois Pienaar. The movie is thought provoking and inspires you to dream big. It in its' limited time depicts the segregation created by decades of apartheid in South Africa. However I was captivated by the song played ...
