The stream of conciousness


The stream of consciousness:
According to J Krishnamurti, one of latest spiritual thinkers, we are all a stream of consciousness that at any point in evolution for each picky time behaves in a fastidious way. Meanwhile we always assume, justify and tactically strategies that the way we take action is the best way to exist.
Looking at the current corruption in India it seems we are in that particular stream of generation that feels the whole country should be honest, but certain circumstances have made me dishonest, and I am going to be fully honest once the world changes and I shall continue to fight for honesty while trying to make most of the profit assuming that I am doing minimal corruption as I can. But preaching, lamenting I love, hiding the truth about me I still love to hate.
If we see who are all the people who would probably do such a crime we find all sorts of people who had money, who had less money and who had no money. If some people had a lot of money they would also like to be corrupt either to save the same or being afraid that the money would be snatched away by others, mostly government.
So  the other side of the story is aren’t there many of them who have not had sufficient money who are simply telling themselves  that it is ok not to have money but still continue to be honest. Some of them wait for a chance where they could amass a huge wealth doing using very less but not so criminal ideas. But most of the people who do not have money continuously plan to meet there immediate needs which consumes huge amount of time while they have to work.
It is those who have had money which is not so much or not so less who plan to see how much more they can earn planning rather working because they are left with sufficient time and quite an amount of  money.
But coming back to the stream’s consciousness, Is it so that the generation is not awake to other ideas that has caused this turmoil. Other ideas like what good would this corruption do to them or what bad it can. They are only seeing the current good and are ignorant of the distant bad. Some one intelligent has to find out the truth and put it clearly to the world order so that they get a chance to think positive and come out of the corrupt practice. They may feel it would be odd to think against the stream but if they are suffering later date swimming along with the stream, it is better if they go against. But is there such intelligence available or is there famine of the profound knowledge. And are the rulers and government and thinking lot themselves in dark because they are also willing to save a lot for themselves in hay day are deeply unconscious in the channel of the stream .
Take any example, say elections, party workers assume this is the time money can flow from the politicians to the voters through them and say anything to get as much more money as the leader can spend. And the leader with a crude calculation imagines he is spending less to get more votes which in turn helps him win, which in turn will let him be on the top of the decision making where he can earn back more money than he spent. He forgets that the money spent comes from a different source like party fund.( Party funds come from all over who presuppose that if they spend now ,later they get back more) While on the way the money the politician earns by working according to the whims and fancies of those who helped him win. He amasses wealth and some time it amounts to be huge. Some time they may also get caught in disproportionate assets case and go to court until they die but they will somehow elude being punished.
This brings to the second topic. Why should people in judiciary be very very honest while the whole nation is enjoying being so corrupt? The salary of judges is less compared to the earnings of some of the lawyers who were junior to them and when they lead a very lavish life and are so soft hearted to spend a lot of money just in exchange of some simple but- according to them- not so mattering decisions, why should they sadden the soft hearted, money wise very helpful lawyers. The acumen of what might happen in the long run to the future of the country would probably be the last thing they can think of, and time is so short, they have been left with a few choices, take it and be happy or say no and create a shortage for everything, friends, funds,  fun and furnishings , The law cannot so easily but be twisted to the favour of the soft-hearted, ever ready, bag full of moneyed aide.
If we check whether they are dumb or dupe, no they are not. They are very well aware that they are doing a crime, but what they feel is their crime is justifiable under the current scenario. Why would a bureaucrat do a favour that is not at all helping him, at least he would like to do that he is allowed to stay in the same job and same place which might turn out to be a torture overnight being changed to far off places where it might be very unsecure to his family. So he assumes the holy truth so as to save his family members he had to take a certain decisions that may go against the wish of the general public. Anyways general public is not aware on one side and general public would not come forward to ask. So what’s bothering? While his conscious is so busy not able to recollect what he ate in the morning, how can he recall the crime he did. He simply forgets and continues to see what good he can do to the people who are immediately affected by this rule including him. Sometimes he may end up with a bounty which if he doesn’t hide safely, he may land up in front of another court which again grounds us in judiciary.
So which so ever route you take you will  end in a full circle where you will be the controversial centre , soon  cornered and castrated, so it is better to see what helps you for now and think how swiftly you get it done.
The only other possible route would be to raise the morality of the entire stream by showing what happens to anyone who does anything that harms the existence of any single fellow human being to a slightest extent.
How this can be done is to first see if there is any such thing that affects any single human being by all the actions we take and investigate if that hurts him or her and in turn harm us. If this is not proved by the so called intelligentsia of the world then no one can help this last world citizen who believes in honesty. If he fails to ask it is OK, But if the intelligentsia fails then the entire stream suffers and again each and every part and parcel of the stream. The right to investigate the precise information and the propaganda of the truth which is a secret due to their inaction is reserved by the decision making intelligentsia. Hope the consciousness of the ruling intelligentsia wakes up to save the entire stream because they are that integral part of the stream which may be affected sooner or later, with no way to escape. Indian conscious of intelligentsia tried a lot to escape but look where they are today. They never have the courtesy of accepting that they failed, but ego is much bigger than bliss of ignorance and nobody can help this. Permanent Happiness should what the stream has to look forward to get the secret of truth to be uncovered. Wake up intelligentsia, make it count.
