How are you creative?

लोगों के जिंदगी से कई कई भरम जायेंगे।

मासूम चेहरे हैं यहां वहां सहम जाएंगे।।

मुझे उदास रहने दो बस एक ही लहज़े में

मैं गर जो मुस्कुराया तो कई और दर्द उभर आयेंगे।।

I am sad to say that no one can translate any poetry from one language to another.

You can translate history, science, economics but not poetry.

जिंदगी के इस अनायत का मैं क्या करूं?

हर बार खुदा से शिकायत मैं क्या करूं?

लोग खुश हैं मुझे यूं तड़पता देख कर

ख़ुद की दर्द से हिफाज़त मैं क्या करूं ??

Notion of God

“Anything that can be said or thought of God is, as it were, a screen between us and God. If we take it literally, absolutely, we are in a way short-circuiting our own experience of an ultimately ineffable mystery, something that cannot be talked about.

Half of the people in the world think the reference of a metaphor is a fact. The other half of the world knows that it’s a lie. So we have people who believe in God as a fact and people who believe that he’s not a fact: theists and atheists.

The real position is to realize that the word God is metaphorical of a mystery, and the mystery is absolutely beyond all human comprehension. The first thing to know when you’re dealing with these symbolic forms is that the ultimate reference is beyond all categories of human thought.” –

When spiritual rights are demanded on the basis of religious metaphors as facts and geography instead of as symbols of the heart and spirit, a bitterly divided world arises with the inevitability of great tragedy. Joseph Campbell.

Character and characterisation

1 Comment

Are you a good judge of character?

True character does not depend on appearance.

People say _I am brave.But they are not.

True character comes out in high pressure circumstances.

People often judge a character by his appearance and his behaviour.and what behaviour you observed is not true.People reflect what hides.

In movies you may see 🙈 that a protagonist looks like thief but he is good from inside.

The protagonist looks weak but he is strong .

Appearance is not his true character.

Any character who looks by appearance and behaviour and tries to become is not a true character but a characterisation.

Characterisation creates illusion to hide true character.

Was Jesus God?, __”Not unless we all are.” “Ahh!”

And that’s what Jung is saying in his Answer to Job: it is actually the work of man that is projected in the image of an imagined being called God. And so, historically, the God image is really a mirror image of the condition of man at a given time.

Yet, I think most people take their image of God very concretely. Except for the French. A survey was taken in which people were asked, “Do you believe in God? Do you believe in hell?” The French-I think, seventy-five percent of them-did not believe in God, but did believe in hell! I like Alan Watts’ reply: “If you believe in God, I don’t. If you don’t, I do.”

My belief is that nobody experiences the ultimate rapture, because it’s beyond pairs of opposities, so if anyone did, there’d be nobody there anyhow. Jung is amusing on that point. “If you go beyond subject and object,” he wonders, “who is there to have the exper- ience?” I think to give oneself a ground for anything other than monastic living, all one has to do is realize that such a thing is implied; that is to say, a mystery that is beyond subject, object, and all pairs of opposite is the mystery on the ground of which we ride.

When the physicist explores the depths of the atom or the outer reaches of space, he discovers pairs of oppo- sites and mysteries that science hasn’t been able to pen- trate. When it does penetrate to the next level, it’s still mysterious. They’ve got so many sub-atomic particles. that’s about as mysterious as you can get. There is the One is named after Joyce’s “quark.” It seems to me transcendent. Know it’s there, and then don’t worry about it.Simply behold the radiance everywhere.

The incarnation in Christ is the prototype which is continuously being transferred to the creature by the Holy Ghost.“__Jung

In the tribe, deities were personification of power.

In later years,they became the source of power.

All the gods of the world are metaphors,not powers.

End of the world

No Comments

Let us examine some familiar religious imagery. One of the great themes in both Judaism and Christianity is the End of the World. What is the meaning of the End of the World? The denotation is that there is going to be a terrific cosmic calamity and the physical world is going to end. That, as we know, is the denotation. What is the connotation of the End of the World? In the Gospel of Mark, chapter 13, Jesus tells about the End of the World. He describes it as a terrible, terrible time with fire and brimstone devouring the earth. He says, “Better not to be alive at that time.” He also says, “This generation will not pass away, but these things will have come to pass.” These things did not, however, come to pass. And the Church, which interprets everything concretely, taking the denotation instead of the connotation as the term of the message, said that, no, this did not come to pass but it is going to come to pass, because what Jesus meant by generation is the generation of Man.

Now in the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas, part of the great mid century discovery of ancient texts, Jesus says, “The Kingdom will not come by expectation. The Kingdom of the Father is spread upon the earth, and men do not see it.” Not seeing it, we live in the world as though it were not the Kingdom. Seeing the Kingdom-that is the End of the World. The connotation is transcendent of the denotation. You are not to interpret the phrase, “the End of the World” concretely. Jesus used the same kind of vocabulary that Eastern gurus use. In their full-fledged teaching mode they speak as though they were themselves what they are speaking about; that is to say, they have in their minds identified themselves with a mode of consciousness that then speaks through them. So when Jesus says, “I am the all,” he means: “I have identified myself with the all.” That is what he means when he says, in the Gospel of Thomas, “Split the stick, you will find me there.” This does not refer to the one who is talking to you, not to that physical body; it refers instead to that which he indeed, in fact,are. Thou art that(Tat Tvam Asi).
