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.
