Double Standards...... Nothing True, Nothing False

This world, as we perceive it, is often treated as an absolute reality. We speak of time as if it flows uniformly for everyone, as if there is a universal clock governing existence. Yet, if we look deeper—through the lenses of physics, philosophy, and spirituality—the certainty of this belief begins to dissolve. At the most fundamental level of existence, what we call reality may simply be an emergence from an all-pervading shunya —a boundless field of consciousness. Time itself appears to begin only when matter emerges. When sub-atomic particles take form, the clock for that matter begins to tick. Before that, there is no meaningful measurement of time, only an undifferentiated state of potential. Human life follows a similar pattern. Our perception of time, events, and morality begins only when we enter this physical world. What we call “reality” is therefore deeply tied to our perspective. In that sense, the world we inhabit is, in many ways, an illusion—real for the observer experi...

The Sacredness of Desire: Reviving the Lost Morality of Modern India

In ancient India, desire was never condemned—it was understood, revered, and harmonized with duty and self-discipline. The Kama-tattva (principle of desire) was one of the four Purusharthas —legitimate aims of human life—alongside Dharma (righteousness), Artha (prosperity), and Moksha (liberation). Yet it was always meant to be guided by Dharma , not divorced from it. Today, this balance stands lost. Desire has been stripped of sanctity and reduced to lust; intimacy has been detached from love, and the spiritual essence of union has faded into transactional pleasure. Our epics and scriptures never denied the power of sensuality. Kama was considered a sacred energy—creative, life-affirming, and capable of divine expression when experienced within the bounds of commitment. The union of husband and wife, or even lovers united through Gandharva Vivaha (a marriage of mutual consent and love), was viewed as a sacred merging of souls, not merely of bodies. The purity of sex lay not in p...

Blueprint for a Human-Centered Moral Civilization A Vision for Integrating Science, Spirituality, and Social Ethics

1. The Foundational Vision Human civilization today stands at the crossroads of unprecedented technological progress and deep moral erosion. Intelligence has evolved; conscience has lagged. The new civilization must therefore not merely be advanced , but awakened — where science serves the soul , and spirituality guides science . Its guiding sutra: “Morality above performance, Character above career, Compassion above competition.” 2. Education Reform: Building Conscious Intellects (a) Early Education (Class 1–8) Integrate value-based learning (truth, empathy, discipline) with STEM subjects. Daily mindfulness, yogic breathing, gratitude journaling — for emotional stability. Introduce Ethics of Curiosity — teaching that discovery without responsibility is dangerous. Replace rote-learning with inquiry + reflection : “What did I learn?” → “How does it make me better?” (b) Adolescent Education (Class 9–12) Curriculum balance: Robotics + Reasoning + Right conduct (Dharma...

धर्म, अध्यात्म और आडम्बर

आज मैंने एक काफी जाने माने और खुद को एक आध्यात्मिक गुरु की तरह दिखाने वाले व्यक्ति के होने वाले समारोह का विज्ञापन देखा। वे आने वाली महाशिवरात्रि को एक कार्यक्रम करने वाले  हैं। उनका यह कार्यक्रम हर वर्ष होता है। सिनेमा हाल की तरह इसमें भी जाने के लिए टिकट की आवश्यकता होती है।  होता  यूँ  है कि महाशिवरात्रि की रात्रि में भगवान् शिव के कुछ भजन बड़े बड़े लाउडस्पीकरो  पर बजाए जाते हैं और टिकटधारी जनता उस पर नाचती है। और इस तरीके से सबको आनंद की अनुभूति होती है।  यह जो गुरु हैं ये श्वेत रंग की लम्बी दाढ़ी और केश रखते हैं। इनका इंटरव्यू बॉलीवुड की बड़ी बड़ी हस्तियां लेती हैं और ये अपने वाकपटुता के गुण से सबको चारों खाने चित कर देते हैं।  चूँकि मेरा जिज्ञासु स्वभाव है अत: मेरे मन में कुछ प्रश्न उठते हैं जो इस प्रकार हैं? १) सामान्यता लम्बे केश और दाढ़ी वो साधू रखते हैं जिन्होंने इस संसार का पूरी तरह परित्याग कर दिया हो पर ये महाशय बड़ी बड़ी गाड़ियों में घूमते हैं , विदेशी इम्पोर्टेड मोटरसाइकिल चलाते हैं और खुद बाबा वाला रूप बना के घुमते हैं। क्या ये वाकई में संत हैं?...

NEXT TIME..

  NEXT TIME... “Teena” “Present Ma’am” replied Teena. “Yash” “Yes Ma’am”, said Yash.   “Zubin” There was a silence in the classroom. “Zubin... Aren’t you listening? I am calling your name” “Yes...yes ma’am”, said Zubin hurriedly waking up from his world of dreams, the little dreams of a sixth standard lad but of immense importance to him. “All right kids... So today is the last day of your school before summer vacations. I have already given you homework. So you all must be visiting various places this summer. So when you come back after holidays you must bring a travelogue written by you only... I repeat... it should be original. Ok!” “Yes Ma’am”, all replied in chorus. Zubin was very happy. Why shouldn’t he be? After all he was going to visit for the first time out of the town this vacation since last three years. Her mother has promised to him. She has saved ten thousand bucks for the trip to Zubin’s maternal grandparents place in Manali, a hill station ...

It was a Sunday Morning. A girl entered the Delhi metro running on red line. Hustle and bustle was less usual than other weekdays. Suddenly she saw a woman carrying a bulky bag standing near to the closed doors of metro... “Excuse me...” the girl said.. “Are you Radhika?” Radhika turned to her left while balancing as the train started running and almost yelled upon seeing her.. “Tashvi….Tu yaha kaise?
