Tools of Wisdom

Tools of Wisdom

 

I found a book named “Words of Wisdom” and bought it without glancing through its pages.

Human error and no wisdom at all, on my part, at the time of the purchase.

I read it on my way home and could NOT find a single phrase, that excited creative part of my brain.

It was trapped in a single dogma that suggested that only the divinity has the wisdom and man is devoid of any (? sanity).

It was an appalling misjudgment of mind and its working.

I thought of writing something.

This is what I could come up with.

Mind never minds its own business but always mind its inner mysteries without proper tools of distinction.

If one can find the proper tools, not only one would open the mind to wisdom door but also free the mind from rigid dogmas that hinder its progress through this transition.

From dogma to wisdom!

Tools of Religion

Tools of Religion are based on few exclusive dogmatic interpretations, as far as the so called God is concerned.

The concept of God is the foolish creation of mankind and there was never an old god or an existing god.

I have a theory (plausible) that if ever Alien Beings visited this planet (God means coming from the sky) they were venerated as goods, by Aztecs, Mayans or in this part of the world as Hindu Gods.

Our concept of Yakku, Deva and Naga in prehistory was either the variation of the above Hindu Gods or more likely the prehistoric man (exterminated by the visitors from India) who were sent into oblivion by the visitors.

Religion was created to allay fear for the unknown, leave alone the fear of death.

 

It is strange that religion itself creates fear among its followers.

A strange PARADOX of all.

Coming to the tools of religion please note the following expressions.

 

1. Fear for the unknown and the need for a universal protector gave way to the origin of faith and an almighty!

2. Intolerance (of other gods or religions even by killing)

3. Exclusiveness (either forced conscription like terrorists or cruel punishment to the outsiders)

4. Cruelty (sword at the beginning, now bombs including Nuclear)

5. Punishment (Stoning to begin with and later by laws of extremes)

6. Blind Allegiance (one cannot apply the 13 or so qualifications of Kalama Sutta)

7. Dogmatism (scripts are always sacred be that it is Bible or Quran)

8. Faulty analysis of what is not real or existing (God is the very good example)

9. No religion provides a life line for the subjects presently living or born in the future.

 

The Coronavirus brings the stark reality of human predicament and vulnerability.

10. All the religions promise to provide solace Only in future tense or afterlife.

11. I do not need a religion that does not provide enlightenment, emancipation or real freedom NOW in this life.

12. All religions are really cruel on mankind’s present predicament (escape from all dogmas of self made -man-made- creations) of any resolve, redemption or real escape from the bondage to dogmas.

Postscript; 

The percentages cited below may vary according to the faith.

 

About 60% is indifferent to any form of religion.

Another 20% is ambivalent.

 

Currently about 20%, the rest, is rigid adherent to the respective faith and this percentage is steadily falling.

They are the ones who want the rest of the 80% to be converted by force or by any mean.

 

When this is about 10% or below 10% the crisis sets in and the active terrorist breeds come into operation.

This is the period when there is lot of pain and suffering for the average man on the street.

We are fast approaching this point and it takes about another 50 to 60 years for the religions to become extinct (my prediction) from this planet and a long period of stability for the human race.

I am gone by then!
