As a student, learning philosophy
really give solace to self and happiness that certainly living a life in
accordance with the reasoning is the right path to complete the time.
Certainly, one has to live and the concept of ‘free will’ exists when one has
to decide the option or path to take decision. The free will to choose and the
free will to make decisions and we are also free to act according to the will.
And this free will is depends on our decision making quality. We decide
according to our knowledge and according to our reasoning and when it went
wrong, we accuse the principle of luck or to the god’s will. The higher the
reasoning the better the decision taking quality and therefore reasoning plays
a vital role in living a good life.
Philosophy helps to open the blockages
of mind and also made clearance on the concepts like religion and dogmas.
Philosophy also helps to understand how great people grasp the soul of world
and also helps us to remove misconceptions. Just for a moment, actions in the
society, detaching self from everything and certainly realizing that
modification of expectations and desires, seized automatically which excite
pain and sadness.
As a student, I relished the different
philosophies and sometimes to make me dance on the reasons advanced to prove
something. But when I went out in the world to face the reality and found that
reasoning and logic are not so much important for the society and realize that
something is lacking in the formation of Hindus ideology.
People do not deliberately make their lives
better but they lack the real knowledge about Hindu philosophies and their
culture and their religion. They practice what they found suitable and the only
aim is to somehow get the blessings of almighty. Interestingly Hindu religion
has no particular theological studies and the religion was so democratic that
it exists since two thousand years and amendments added whenever it required changing
certain theory, even at the time of Rig Veda, when many gods turned to monism
of Prajapati and there are examples that some rituals adopted from Greek, Islam
and Christianity.
Changes are according to the need of
groups or societies and these changes created 360 Million gods and goddesses
including animals like snake, monkey, rats, peacock, tiger, elephant and more
others.
Certainly, going back to the history of
religion of Hindus, there was no formless god, though the Vedanta worked hard
on Nirakar Brahma (Formless Brahma) but it was not
accepted by the society. The Brahma of Vedanta was attribute-less, colorless,
shapeless, and tasteless and so have no form.
Even the Buddhist worked hard to
advance on formless concept of god in Shuniyavada with the formula of Neti- neti (Not this, not this) establishing the
essence of god by deducing every worldly things from the form of god. There are
gods who are associated with work like Prajapati for carpentry, Rama for
ruling, Hanumana for administration, Goddess Laxmi for wealth, Sarswati for
education and so on. The next line in worship is the number of deities, there
are millions and millions of deities standing second in row serving the purpose
of helping people.
In Rajasthan of India only, there is Gogaji,
Paupaji, Ramdev and many others who are symbol of treating camel, cattle,
saving crops and blessing the community. The third line is the line of saints
and Sufis who are standing to bless when the community found gods and deities
busy and not responding.
